CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Program Outlined in Senate and
House.

While the administration and the beet
sugar forces in the Senate are lining up for
the big fight over the Cuban reciprocity
bill which is to come, the House ''insur-
gents" are getting ready to ping-peng the
bill if it comes back minus the differential
amendment.
1t is a curious situation. The beet sugar
men don't want the differential amendment
it would be the death blow to the beet
refineries-and yet they will insist upon
keeping 1t on the bill If the Senate takes
X off they will put it on again and con-
tinue to put it on, because they are con-
vinced the Senate will never enact into law
a reciprocity bill with that amendment
attached to it. That is just what the beet
sugar men desre-no legislation at all.
The program for the future seems to be
crIt and dried, therefore. The adminiStra-
tion republicans in the Senate will report
a straight reciprocity bill and attempt to
pass it without amendment. If it passes in
that shape the democrats and the forty or
more insurgent republicans in the House
will prevent adoption of q conference re-
port which drops the differential amend
ment. Then the struggle will commence
between the House and Senate in earnest.
The beet sugar men in the Senate are
conducting their campaign very quietly.
They doing no boasting. although they
insist there will be no perfe ctsd Cuban leg
isla tiOn. They are not disclosing their
strength. and are causing the other side to
do some guessing.

A SWEDE's IMPROVEMENT
Can Control Direction of Wireless Tele.
graphic Messages.

A reported improvement of the Marconi
system of wireless telegraphy for military
purposes has been brought to the atten-
tlon OF the State Department through a
report from United States Consul Bergh.
at Gothenburg. Mr.. Bergh says that a
lieutenant colonel of the Swedish army has
oeen experimenting for some time with the
Marconl system, and it is claimed that he
mas recently made improvements in this
line which, if practical, will be useful for
military purposes and at sea. The Swedish
newspapers state that he has invented an
electric radiator or reflector, which. COM
blned with the Marconi system, can send
the electric waves and with them the mes
sage in the desired direction The con-
sui says that he has not read any de-
scrlption of the invention, which is being
tested by Swedish apparatus but its con-
structlon is said to be based on the theory
that electric waves are reflected by me-
tall1c surfaces. The drawback to the sys-
TEN, ne says, seems to be that a tele-
gram cannot be sent in a certain direction
longer distance than twenty-five or
thirty miles, but for many purposes this
may be sufficient. The experiments will
be continued.

formed me that boys of that age and up to
twelve could bear arms greatly to the dis
advantage of their opponents; that he had
youths of that age and two or three
years older among the insurrectos and la
drones captured, and he further said that
sometimes there would be a considerable
proportion of such boys in the hostile
