ants of the Sugar Trust and the Beet Sugar
| Trust. respectively, from which, in the
words of Senator Hanna, "our party will
suffer at the polls in the coming election
| While, at the eleventh hour, Mr. Hanna
came to the rescue of the policy of the
administration, it has for some time been
| an open secret at the Capitol that had the
| Senator from Ohio thrown his influence,
as chairman of the National Committee,
| into the balance and worked for reciproci-
| ty instead of INDUCING in much quiet en-
joyment at the discontinue of the Presi-
dent the result would have been different.
AS it is, all hope of any action looking to
| the relief of Cuba at the present session
| has been abandoned.
On Thursday the Senate adopted the
Spooner substitute for the Nicaraguan
Canal bill and if the Panama Canal Com
| pany have been correct in their represen-
tations of their ability to furnish clear
title to their property and if the Colum-
bian government has been sincere in its
promises to make the necessary conces-
sions to the United States the isthmian
canal will be built along the Panama
Colon route In view of the extravagant
raid on the treasury, which has been per-
petrated by the present Congress, Senator
| Fairbanks found it necessary to attach to
the bill an amendment whereby the gov
eminent is authorized to issue interest
bearing gold bonds to the amount of
| $3.50, 100000 to dcfray the expense of the
construction of the canal. The canal bill
as passed is now in the hands of the con-
| ferees of the Senate and House. but it is
expected that the House will finally agree
| to the Spooner substitute.
| The Senate has passed upon all the ap-
preparation bills with the exception of the
| General Deficiency bill, and the only
measure of Importance which is likely to
receive consideration by that body during
| the remaining hours of the session is the
| Omnibns Territorial bill, which the repre-
sentatives of the territories still believe to
have chance, as Senator Bate will make
an effort to secure consideration of the
bill during the coming week That he may
succeed, do not feel as confident as do
Messrs. Rodney, Flynn and Smith, the
territorial delegates. A story, which is
interesting, if true, is circulating at the
| Capitol 1t is to the effect that Delegate
Flynn was approached by Senator Beve-
ridge, chairman of the Committee on Ter
ritories, with proposition to change the
name of Oklahoma to "Beveridge" and
that Mr.. Flynn's refusal to do so resulted
in the defeat of the measure in Mr.. Beve-
ridges committee.
On Thursday the House took up the
Philippine bill and an earnest debate is
being conducted by both sides. 1t now
appears that the House will insist upon
the Senate's concurring in the adoption of
the measure reported by the House com
mittee on Insular Affairs. This measure
grants certain form of self government
to the Filipinos and, although imperialistic
in its purport, is shade better than the
bill passed by the Senate. The House re-
publicans will vigorously fight the adop-
ton of the silver standard in the islands.
According to republican tenets a gold
standard is the only proper standard for
any nation and the adoption of "a silver
standard for the Philippines will be an
absolute qualification Of republican dog
ma. The anxiety of the members to adj
journ will be in favor of the Senate con-
ferees, but numerous republican members
have assured me that would not prove
sufficient to induce them to yield. Only
a deadlock on the bill will prevent ad-
journment on July 3rd.
The effort of the House committee on
Commerce to increase the period of I'M
broken travel for cattle being shipped by
rail from % to 40 hours, and to accomplish
which the committee has reported a bill
changing the present law, promises to be
stoutly contested by the Humane Societies
of the country. Already Mr.. c. A. Snow,
President of the Washington Humane
Society, has forwarded to the committee
a letter which reads in part as follows:
The passage of this bill will be distinct
ly inhumane and retrogressive act to
which hope the American Congress will
not commit the American people. These
animals, vertebrates like ourselves, have
unerring appetites and thirst. and twenty
eight hours, as under the present bill, is
far too long, especially under trying trans
portation conditions, to make them go
without food and water. To increase the
time to forty hours will involve an added
torture which, if reduced to ineligible
expression, would shock the conscience of
the world. How outrageously mean and
cowardly to treat these noble, gentle
beings this way, only because they are
vote less, voiceless, defenceless. They
give their lives that We may live more
abundantly and now an avaricious cattle
interest purposes, through the sanction of
Congress, to add torture to sacrifice"
