CUBAN RECIPROCITY,
President Anxious That Congress Shall
Take Some Kind of Action.

Washington, March 5.-Speaker Hender-
son and Representative Cannon of Hi
nois, called at the White House, today.
and discussed with President Roosevelt
Cuban reciprocity.
Active canvassing continued among
Republican members, today, preliminary
to the third caucus on Cuban reciproc-
ity, to be held, tomorrow night. The
most positive claims were made by those
opposed to Representative Payne's % per
cent. reciprocity plan that there was a
clear majority against 1t. Mr.. Payne and
his associate however, expressed the be-
lief that'a concession to Cuba ultimately
will be granted. /. was said in this con-
nection that Speaker Henderson is now
favorable to the position taken by the
majority on the ways and means COM
mittee.
During the day several members of the
cabinet were called on by Messrs. Tawney
IF the ways and means committee. who
has proposed the rebate plan as a sub
stitute for Chairman Paynes 20 per cent.
reciprocity plan. and Mr.. Morris (Minn.),
who also has proposed a plan differing
from that of Mr.. Payne.
Later in the day Representative Tawney
called at the White House and had con-
ference lasting nearly an hour and half
1t developed that Mr.. Tawney had told
the President there was little or no pos
sibility of adoption of the Payne plan at
the Republican caucus, and that If it was
adopted some 40 Republican members
would carry the question to the floor of
the House.
The President is understood to have
made his position quite clear. He said
ne had no intention at present of send
ng a special message to Congress. The
President expressed the most earnest So
licitude that a satisfactory adjustment
be reached by Congress, saying that this
was an Inherited problem" meaning
that it had come to him from the Nc
Kinley administration. Furthermore the
President, it is asserted indicated no
positive determination in favor of any
pa rticular idea, but rather a desire that
Congress should deal with the subject
according to its best lights.
After hearing from Mr.. Tawney. his as
sistants expressed the belief that the
President would accept the rebate propo-
sition if Congress sent it to him.
While these conferences were going on
at the White House, Chairman Payne
and members of the ways and means
committee supporting him were in con-
ference. Later one of the members said
that he was confident the Payne reci-
procity proposition commanded a MAORI
ty of the Republican members, but that
the minority was so large and was so
disposed to carry the contest into the
House that Mr.. Payne and his friends
recognized the seriousness of the situa-
ton.
So far as could be learned at the Cap
itol, the only members of the cabinet TO
call on the President We're Postmaster
General Payne and Secretary Root, and
the nature of their conferences We're not
diyulged

SLAVERY IN PHILIPPINES.
Gov. Taft Tells What Has Been Done
to Suppress it.

Washington. March 5.-Gov. Taft was
questioned further concerning slavery
in the Philippines by members of the
House insular committee. today. He
said the number of slaves who had been
manumitted was comparatively small.
The commission had undertaken no
Legislation as to slavery and the action
taken by the military had been first to
release Christian slaves. second to pre-
vent slave raiding parties from captur-
ing slaves. Besides this. moral infiu-
ence is constantly being exerted to-
ward the eradication of the system.
Representative Patterson of Tennes-
see, asked If the dato could enforce the
death penalty against slaves. to which
Gov. Taft answered that the dato's au-
thority extended to the death penalty,
after a trial.
The committee agreed to close the ex-
tended hearings, tomorrow. and Gov.
Taft then will leave Washington. to be
gone about three weeks.

THE SOUTHERN NEGRO.
Booker J. Washington Speaks at New
York on Their Condition.

New York. March 5.-Bishop Potter
was chairman and Booker T. Washing
ton the principal speaker at meeting
held, tonight. at Carnegie hall, in the
interest of the Hampton and Puskegee
Institutes.
Bishop Potter said in part: Il must
confess that the first man who entered
nv mind as | entered this hall was the
senior senator from South Carolina.
Some time ago in Boston he delivered
himself of the strange utterances that
what these institutions at Hampton
and Tuskegee were doing was but to
educate the negro, so as TO enable MN
to enter the trades and crowd out the
white people. We ought to realize that
the main thing that divides the negro
from the white is the lack of culture,
and that by giving him this culture we
will ennoble him and raise him to
level of intelligence and creative citi-
zenship.'
Mr. Washington was introduced by
Bishop Potter. who said that after the
President had entertained Booker T..
washington as his guest, he telegraphed
him as follows: Il congratulate you
upon your guest. He was guest at
my table last winter and l never enter
tanned a worthier one Somehow or
other" continued the bishop, my mes
sage became public and since that time
/ have received numerous letters from
people south of the Mason and Dixon
line entreating me not to show myself
in their neighborhOod, as their citizens
mad no desire to entertain me-" Mr..
Washington was received with great
applause.

throng OF people cheered him Justify.
The train was stopped at City Hall
square where soldier boys and police
surrounded it, permitting inside the
lines only the city officers and the citi-
Zens' committee in charge of the cere-
monies. Mayor Jay =. Kline greeted
the prince and presented him with
gold seal of the city in solid silver
box. Former Chief Judge of the Court
of Appeals Charles Andrews presented
the engrossed address, and Mrs. johann
mes Schaefer and Mrs. G. F. f. Weis-
tering for the German women, pre-
scented two albums, one for the Kaiserin
and the other for Princess Irene. The
prince responded gracefully and then
from the platform bowed his thanks
and appreciation to the cheering thous-
ands. Syracuse University students
with torches and band enlivened the
occasion and gave the prince yell pre-
pared for the occasion. At 11.01 the
train departed for the east.
Berlin March 5-Relief is felt here that
the flight of Prince Henry through the

others in authority have had misgivings
that some Polish fanatic in Chicago,
wrought up over the conflicts and ma
tional feeling in Polish Prussia, might at

The prestige of Prince Henry has been
immensely Increased in Germany by the
impression he has made upon the Ameri-

A BIG STORM
Sweeps the Whole Coast and Extends
Far Inland.

Boston, March 5.-The heavy storm,
the center of which was off the Caro-
linas, this morning, struck Boston at
noon. The precipitation was in the
form of snow, which fell throughout the
afternoon. The storm kept shipping in
port and also interfered somewhat with
the decorations of business houses in
honor Of the visit Of Prince Henry, to-
morrow.
New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
Paterson, Pittsburg and other places
report terrific storm, with shipping
tied up, trains delayed, wires Frustrated
and travel very difficult.
The wind blew fercely here from the
northeast, but as the temperature was
scarcely below freezing the storm could
not be called a blizzard. Late in the day
the heavy snow began to impede traf1ie
to greater or less extent, but there have
been other storms, this winter. which
gave the electric and steam railroads
more trouble.
The storm apparently is general over
southern New England, but does not eX-
tend west of Utica, n. "

FOUND IT.
Coffee Was Doing the Work in Good
Style.

Members of the same family are af-
|fected differently by coffee drinking.
One may feel the effect in a disordered
ste mach while another may have no
trouble with the stomach so far as
known, but have palpitation of the
heart and finally organic heart disease,
or perhaps in another the kidneys may
become affected.
AS an illustration, a family IN MUIR
physboro, ILL.,, reports an experience.
Mrs. Cole discovered that the sour
stomach and nervous restless nights
were caused by coffee drinking. Her
mother suffered from nervousness when
coffee was used. while the brother of
the family became a wreck directly
from coffee drinking.
Mrs. Cole in her letter, says, refer
ring to her brother, HE went from one
physician to another and his case puZ-
zled them all until he had tried II diff
ferent physicians. Some thought he
had apoplexy, others locomotor ataxia,
some advised operations to relieve the
pressure at certain points, altogether
his case became so alarming that we
were afraid to have him alone. He
frequently tainted away. and was in a
most wretched condition.
FINALLY one of the physicians sug-
gested that possibly coffee brought on
some of the symptoms, so he was per-
|suaded to give up coffee and begin the
use of Postum Food Coffee. Then he
began to recover, and day by day the
old troubles left. Now he has gotten
|entirelyN well, has gained about 30
pounds and is the picture of health.
or course he and his family use
Postum regularly. He says he would
as soon drink spoonful of poison as
Iof old fashioned coffee.
when we first began to make
Postum it was boiled but a few min
Iutes and none Of us liked it but since
we began making it properly by hav-
ling it boil long enough to bring out the
flavor we all consider it superior to the
lold fashioned coffee. 1t is delicious
when made right and that is easy.
IA number of our friends have been
|cured of various ailments by leaving
loft coffee and using Postum. With
Mrs. -- the coffee caused a smooth
Iering sensation, bloating and serious
trouble with the heart. She has en-
Itirely recovered since changing from
common coffee to Postum"
