THE WATER STREET ROUTE.
Protests Against Sent to Chairman
NJ rRabcock.

Protests against the Water street route
for the railways entering the city from the
south, as advocated by the railroad commit
tee Of the South washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION In a Plan recently submitted to
Chairman Babcocf and printed in The Star,
were receiTed to-day by Mr.. Babcock from
Albert Herman and I. Herman.
Mr. Albert Herman says: Having read
in The Star the report of the South Wash
fngton Citizens Association. I wish to In
form you that the report does not voice the
sentiment Of the majority of South Wash
1ngton residents, ST being simply whim of
rev whose property the railroad does not
wish to purchase. 1 therefore earnestly
request you to use your influence that no
change be pade IN the present bill as to the
route or closing of streets, as these fea-
lures cannet be improved upon. The park
commissions plans do not affect Virginia
avenue or Maryland avenue at all in this
section The route as proposed by the as
ISOLATION has been reported against by the
commissioners as an undesirable one, and
we therefore pray that you will not sanction
The letter Of Mr.. l. Herman presents
the same argument and makes the same
prayer.
A supplemental report was also received
from Mr.. R. Harrison Johnson, chairman
OF the railroad committee of the South
washington Citizens Association. defining
exactly the route proposed by his commit
tee for roads entering the city by the Long
bridge. In brief, this route is: ''Commenc-

voting with his republican colleagues for
the motion.
The debate upon the anti-anarchy bill
then was resumed.
Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.), the first speaker to-
day. argued that the provisions of the Sem
ate bill were unconstitutional.
Mr.. Patterson (Tenn.) favored the an
archist sections of the House substitute.
President Roosevelt Criticised
Mr.. Richardson tAla.), during the course
of some remarks upon the bill. caustically
criticised President Roosevelts Memorial
day grafton at Arlington. He recalled the
visit of the late President Mckinley to
Huntsville, Ala. year ago, the reception
given him then by confederate and Union
veterans The noble sentiments Mr.. Nc
kinley uttered upon that occasion, Mr..
Richardson said, endeared him to the
south. and he told of the great sorrow felt
there when Mr.. Mckinley fell at Buffalo.
Reluctant as he was to do so. Mr.. Rich
ardson said he felt it his painful duty to
contrast Mr.. McKinley's sentiments at
Huntsville with Mr.. Roosevelt's remarks at
Arlington May 30
He then read that portion of President
Roosevelt's speech in which he referred
to the epithets applied to Grant and Lin
coin, and the resolution passed by the con-
federate congress denouncing the methods
of warfare employed by the Union armies.
Mr.. Richardson said he should not so far
forget his environs as to characterize as 1t
deserved the language which came from the
President of the United States upon a
solemn Memorial day occasion. when honor
was being done to the thousands of brave
dead who died in defense of their flag.
But he would dare to say that it would
have been far more appropriate If the Pres
ident had referred upon that occasion to the
magnanimous terms which Grant accorded
Lee at Appomattox, which had done so
much to reconcile the divided sections.
Il doubt whether there is" said he, "a
brave federal soldier within the sound Of
my voice who would have uttered the SEN
timents expressed by the President even in
the heat of debate, much less upon Memo
rial day. l say the proprieties of the oc-
casion were violated when the President
referred to what had been said about Lin
coin in the heat of blood when men were
aiming at each others lives
Mr.. Richardson also condemned the Pres
ident's reference to lynchings in the south
Mr.. Littlefield for the Bill.
After further remarks in criticism of some
features of the bill by Mr.. Kleberg CTexas)
and Mr.. Smith (Ky). Mr.. Littlefeld (Me)

half speech in support of the measure

FORT DE FRANCE, Island Of Mar

Wednesday, June 4.-Vessels leaving the

In the Island of ST. Vincent the shining

rising and spreading in the direction of the
Soufriere volcano since May 10, and which
have been mistaken for tropical clouds,

This. combined with renewed vibrations

RECIPROCITY
Beet Sugar Men Jubilant
This Afternoon.
THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS

SION FAVORABLE TO REBATE.
Administration Leaders Do Not Credit
This and Believe Caucus Would
Favor Tariff Reduction.

Inc beet sugar senators were very jubi-
liant today over what they considered to be
a prospect for winning their fight on the
Cuban reciprocity bill The beet sugar men
nave insisted from the first that Cuban re-
ciprocity should be effected through a re-
bate OF duties and not a reduction of the
tariff.
The report was widely circulated at the
Senate today that President Roosevelt, who
has been favoring reduction Of tariff, had
given the impression to congressman who
called upon him today that he was not I'M
alterably opposed to the rebate plan If it
should be adopted as compromise. This
report was not credited by the senator's
who have been working consistently to
carry out what was supposed to be the ad-
ministration policy-reciprocity with tariff
reduction. These senators insisted that
there had been no abatement of their eff
forts along that line, and they had not been
apprlsed of the rumored change Of the atti-
tude of the executive.
In Case of a Caucus.
The administration senators express their
belief that If in a caucus of republican SEN
ators majority present should declare the
rebate plan unacceptable a sufficient num-
Der OF men who now favor rebate would

procity bill.
"A republican caucus upon the subject
may be deemed necessary within few
days 1t is possible that an agreement for
compromise may be reached between the
conferees Of the two factions who are still
meeting. But the hope for such an out
come is not strongly entertained. The beet
sugar senators are more insstent today
upon the rebate plan as the direct result
or the report so generally circulated that
the President will not reject 1t. They there
fore are less inclined than ever before to
yield their position.
The beet sugar men claim this afternoon
that they have twenty republican votes in
favor of the rebate proposition, and that
other votes will be secured in short time
Ihey say that a prolonged fight over
Cuban reciprocity is certain to ensue If
tariff reduction is insisted upon
Another meeting of the conferees, rere-
senting the beet sugar men and the ma
Jcrity of the Cuban relations committee,

bad been formulated for discussion at this
session. and the talk, it is understood, pur-

Registry of Troopships.

The Secretary of War today forwarded
to the Senate a letter recommending that
a law be enacted providing that whenever
any vessel used or owned by the govern
ment of the United States as an army
transport shall be sold it shall be deemed
a vessel of the United States and be enti-
tied to be registered as If built in this coun-
try. He gives his reason for this rec
ommendation the fact that several of the
transports which are soon to be sold are
foreign built vessels and says they will not
bring good prices because they cannot
secure American registry. This was found
to be true in the case of the recent sale
of the Egbert.
