ROOT OPPOSES RECIPROCITY.


WASHINGTON, Jan. u.-There is au-
thority for the statement that Secretary
Root is strongly opposed to commercial
reciprocity between the United States and
the Philippines on the general ground that
any such arrangement would be destructive
OF the open door policy of this govern
ment in the East. 1t is argued that the
United States only secured the open door in
China after patient and assidious diplo-
matte negotiations with other foreign gov
ernments concerned, and that to now DENY
other governments the same trade facilities
with the Philippines enjoyed by the United
States would result in closing the principal
markets in China to the United States
Speaking on this subject to-day a Cabinet
officer said that the only way the United
States could expect 10 be treated the same
as Russia, France. Germany and Great
Britain in the Chinese provinces now i'm the
virtual possessions OF these governments
would be by granting the countries named
equal privileges and facilities with the
United States for trade with the Philin-
pines. The above statements represents the
position of Secretary Root on the general
question Of trade relations with the Philip
pines, and the conclusion is that President
Roosevelt holds similar views

ARREST OF A VIRGINIAN.
He Sent an Insulting Advertisement
Card to President Roosevelt.

RICHMOND. Va. Jan. T1.-Lieut. John
w. Starke, OF Company b. SEVENTEEN Vir-
ginia Regiment. was arrested to-day by
Deputy United States Marshal Bendit on
the charge of sending obscene literature
through the mails. The arrest grows out of
an insulting advertisement card mailed
from Richmond about month ago to Pres
ident Roosevelt. The charge was brought
against Starke by POstofice Inspector
Bulla, who has been working UP the case.
Starke was bailed by United States Com
missioner Henry Flegenheimer for his ap-
pearance on Tuesday.
Lieutenant Starke has been prominently
before the community on several former
occasions. At the beginning Of the Cuban ex-
citement he attempted to organize hlibus-
tering expedition. He volunteered on the
second call for troops for the Spanish war
and went to the camp at Tampa. where he
remained until mustered out. More recently
he has made attempts to organize force to
aid the Beers. He denies having mailed the
objectiona BILE matter.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE compromise
which arranged between Frank d.
Peavey. representing the cane sugar inter-
ests, and Henry Z. Oxnard, representing the
beet sugar interests, is not satisfactory to
the President or the secretary of war. The
secretary of war says fatty that rebates,
drawbacks or bounties are not satisfactory
to the executive He says it is desirable
that better trade relations be established
with Cuba, strictly on reciprocity lines, as
suggested by President Mckinley in his
Buffalo speech, and by President Roosevelt
in his annual message The secretary of
is earnestly preaching this doctrine to
the representatives and senators who call
upon him and frankly says that the execu-
tive would like to see them support meas
ure which follows such theory. The real
legislative fight may be postponed some
months, but, the executive policy appears
more clear to-day than at any time since
the Cuban agita ton began. 1t will be pro-
posed that Congress enact a law offering
TO Cuba a certain reduction on all Cuban
products when the new republic has passed
laws giving the same reduction below insu-
lar tariff on all American goods. This will
give the Cubans lower prices on machinery
and all such products and at the same time
offer more liberal market for their own
goods.
1t is being claimed by Mr.. Root on the
authority of Governor General Wood, that
when such legislation is assured the Cuban
planters can borrow money their lands
and crops; that the merchants can secure
loans and that prosperity of the island will
be assured for the early trying times of the
republic. This proposal is entirely unsatis-
factory to representatives of the beet sugar
interests, who are arriving here in numbers
They are repudiating Henry T. Oxnard as
their agent, and will make a straightout
fight against any reduction.
