Friederichshof, at Cronberg, the pal

beautiful country seats possessed by

Hesse because, by the will Of her de-

REASSURED MR.. HENDERSON,
Opposition Republicans Have Nothing Per>
sonaI Aga nst the Speaker.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1o-In
view of reports that opposition to the
Ways and Means Committees copper
cent. Cuban reciprocity plan was move
ment gainst Speaker Henderson and those
OF the House in authority, Representative
Alden Smith, of Michigan, one of the
active members of the opposition, has
called on Speaker Henderson and has as
sured him that the opposition was not
in any manner directed against the
House leadership or the Speaker, but was
solely due to an earnest convection against
q reduction of tariff duties.
Mr. Smith also called to-day on Sec
rotary OF the Treasury Shaw and pre-
scented to the Secretary a means by
which, in Mr.. Smiths estimation, relief
could be given Cuba by action OF the
treasury without recourse to reciprocity
reduction. Mr.. Smith pointed out that
under the recent Brussels agreement the
Cartel system would continue another
year. He proposed therefore that under
section five of the Dingley act coun-
tervailing duty be imposed by the treas
ury against sugar under the Cartel sys-
tenn. the same as this countervailing duty
is now imposed against bounty sugar.
It was urged in support Of this. plan that
it would give another greater relief TO
Cuban sugar than any action Congress
could take. Secretary Shaw took the
suggestion under consideration.
Both elements in the Cuban reciprocity
controversy were active in both houses
to-day.

ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS.
An Ordinance Proposed Imposing License
Upon Them.

SPoh
at the meeting of the Committee on
Electricity last night superintendent
Thompson presented an ordinance de-
signed to license, control and regulate
electrical contractors, interior electrical
wiremen and operators OF electrical ma
chinery, and in SO doing stated that the
electrical situation in the city at the pres
ent time was such as to demand that
some restrictions be placed upon the per-
sons who are doing electrical wiring. He
recommended the ordinance as step in
the right direction to protect the city
from work being done by unskI1led work.
men.
Under the proposed ordinance it shall
be unlawful for any person, firm or cor
poration to install electrical machinery,
apparatus or construction, for the purpose
of furnishing light, heat or power by
means of electricity, without first having
obtained a license, and the amount of
same is fixed to be $780, A second para
graph provides that an employee of any
person, firm or corporation who does
any electrical work, either original or re-
pair work, in any building, shall pay a
license of $500 per annum. The ordi-
nance also provides for a license to be
paid by persons WHO operate an electric
light, plating, heat or power plant. In Or
der to obtain license for any one of
stand an examination, which, if approved
by the Committee on Electricity, shall
entitle him to a license.
Representatives of several of the COM
panies engaged in electrical work We're
heard. Those who spoke seemed to think
that the ordinance was something that
was needed for the city. Some differed
about the license fee for the tirst-class
and thought the amount should he fixed
no I'll do
however, it was apparent that the or
dinance met with the approval of the
contractors it being argued bw them
that under the present ordinances out
of town contractors are permitted to bid
an work in the city and come here and
do the same without paying any license
fee whatever.
The ordinance was referred to q sub
committee. consisting of the chairman
and Mr. Thonlason. who. acting with the
City Attorney. are to frame d substitute
ordinance which shall cover the case
and harmonic as far as possible the
differences as to the amount of license fee
to be required in each of the several
classes.
A communication was received from
the City Attorney in which he informs
the committee that under the charter
it is not permissible for the city to en-
10y as its officer and electrician and
impose upon hin, the duties OF the City
Electrician, a person to be named or paid
by ono or more of the insurance COM
panies doing business in the city.
The City Electrician also presented his
report for February. which showed that
IS permits for electrical work had been
issued from his office.
Those present at the meeting We're

ason and West.

IS ANXIOUS TO
SECURE HARMONY
President Tired Of Strained Re.
Iations Over Cuban
Reciprocity.
(Bz Associated Press.)

q i
WASHINGTON, March 10.-A number
Of Senators and Representatives saw the
President to-day, and some Of them
talked with him concerning Cuban reel
procity. The President told some OF
lis visitors there was difficulty in de-
termining just what promises or repre-
sensations were made to the Cuban dele
gates when they visited Washington
last summer just previous to the adop-
ton of the PIatt amendment as part
Z Of the Cuban Constitution. There was
no record of any promise, but the IN
Outstanding seemed to be that reciprocal
arrangements were to be made with
Cuba Of a nature which would give the
islands products an advantages IN the
markets Of the United States.
In the course of the discussion TO-DAY
If is said that Senator Allison remarked
tl4lt more Importance had been given
the subject than it warranted; that
the proposed 20 per cent. reduction to be
granted to Cuba would not be of mate
rial advantage to the planters of the
island, nor would such a reduction OF
duty on Cuban sugar affect in any mate
rial way the beet sugar interests of this
country.
The President expressed a. desire to
secure harmony, and some Of the Sena-
tors who saw him said they believed
that this also was the desire of the Re
publicans in Congress, some Of whom
thought that it wrls quite important that
the strained relations should not con-
tinue.
1t was said that no special MESA ge
was in contemplation, and the President
continued to maintain the position for
reciprocity he had taken in his annual
message.
