= Washington. Feb. 1.-The only bust
ness matter of interest under discus

! was the Cuban reciprocity question
HOW before congress. The president is
very much in earnest in his advocacy
Of reduction of the duty on Cuban
sugar. Secretary Root also is a strong
advocate of reduction of about 81
per cent 1t is believed that this prop
osition meets with the general approx
al of the members of the cabinet.
Disclaimer from Chairman Payne.
Apropos of this matter Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means COM
| mittee. authorizes the following: a
report is being circulated industriously
&c the effect that the ways and means
committee, by taking action on the bill
reducing war taxes. has sought indi-
rectly to dispose of the subject of Gu
ban reciprocity. Nothing could be
farther from the facts. and the er-
rCneOus report appears to be the result
of mixture of self-interest aud I'M
warranted speculation. That
subject is to receive the full and early
attention of the ways and means COM
mittee. and any report suggesting that
it has been cQvertly prejudiced is IN
warranted blythe facts"
Aliudes to TIE Postal Employees.
1t is unders' nod the executive order
issued yesterday by the president in
hibiting government officers and en-
ployes from attempting to Influence
legislation is the result of complaints
made by members of congress that
pOstoifice employees. and particularly
route agents and general delivery let
ter carriers n their districts. are MAX
ing every possible effort to secure leg
islation by congress favorable to their
interests. and i'm some instances
threats had been made that unless their
representatives In congress favored
such legislation they would not be re-
elected. The president is fully deter
mined that this thing shall cease. and
il is said that any person who violates
the order will be summarily dismissed
from the government service.
Nothing Ambiguous About 1t.
The order referred to says that gov
eminent officers and employees of every
description "are hereby forbidden
either directly or indirectly, individu-
ally or through associations. to solicit
an increase of pay or to influence or
attempt 20 influence in their own inter
ests any legislation whatever. either
before congress or its committees or
IN any way save through the heads of
the departments in or under which
they serve. on penalty of dismissal
from the government service"
