MARYLAND SQUABBLB
MAY Be SETTLED TODAY
Baltimore Subtreasurer May
Be Appointed.
Mr.. Mudd Has Selected Candidate That
Will Doubtless Be Successful.

Indications po!n: to a settlement to-
day Of the Maryland political tangie
over the filing of the subtreasurersh!r
vacancy at Baltimore.
This is the position over which Sena-
tor McComGs and several Representa-
tives from that State have been at log
gerheads for some time pas. with Rep
rosentatives Mudd and Jackson. The
appointment IS considered one to be
filed upon Mr.. lIudd's Recommendation.
but the advice of Mr.. McComas as a
Republican Senator has boen considered
by the President. with the result that
Mr. Mudd's candidates so far have fail
ed to secure the place. These were A.
l.. Boiling. of st. Mary's. and Capt
James B. Belt, CT Prince Georges coun-
ty.
Representative jackson was a caller
at the temporary White House yester-
day and saw the President In reference
to this appointment On Leaving the
executive office Mr. Jackson would not
be quoted as to the prospects of the
carly settlement Of the case.
This is not my fight said Mr.. Jack
son, ''it is Mr.. Mudd's. or course I am
supporting him in his recommendations.
but information as to the settlement C.
the contest would be more authorita-
tive II il came directly from him."
Despite Sir. Jackson's reticence, it was
learned in other quarters that Mr.. Mudd
has selected third candidate. who is a
ba nker, thus meeting q qualification
which the President stated few days
ago the successful candidate must pos
sess.
It is expected that Mr.. Mudd will pre-
sent the new name TO the President to-
day and that his selection will follow
shortly. AS the President las given some
very direct intinaticns to the lenders
in the controversy that he dislikes the
pickering which has gone on concern
ing the appointment. 1t Is believed that
unless Senator McComas has some def
mite and well-fouaded reason for filing
objections to the latest candidate the
case will be now settled.

PRESIDENT INVITED
TO MICHIGAN FBHE
To Celebrate Opening of
Lake Superior Canal.

4 movement is on foot at the Lake
ports to inaugurate semi-centennial
celebration of the commencement of the
Lake Superior Canal at Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich.
Governor Bliss. of Michigan. who was
here last week, spoke quite enthusiastic
ally about it and said he would bring 1t
to the attention of the Michigan Legis-
lature as soon as possible.
Governor Bliss advocated inviting the
President and Cabinet to attend the
semi-ccntennial anniversary of the com
mencement of the Lake Superior Ship
Canal. which will occur June 4, 1908.

spectacular event in Western State his

say that the expenses will easily be pro-

Treaty Would Be Unfair.
As to the suggestion that a treaty
with Cuba would be made and submitted
at the next session. he said that 1t
would be exceedingly unfair unless Cuba
was required to arrange her labor con-
ditions, as to Chinese laborers. ETC.. on
the same terms as in the United States.
He declared that he was ready for tar
If revision. but he would not give his
approval to Q reduction Of duty on the
only thing (sugar) that the American
farmer had any real protection on. The
American farmers, he asserted, could
produce all the sugar consumed In the
United States provided they had fair
protection, on line of equality with
every other American product. The cost
OF the production OF sugar in Cuba was
only btween 1 cent and 1.35 cents q
pound. aud there was therefore no rea-
son for a reduction Of the duty on Cuban
sugar.
Would Not Reach Poor Cubans.
1t was safe to say that none of the
proposed reduction of five or six mil
lions of dollars would reach the poor
people of Cuba. One man living in Paris
and holding large sugar estates in Cuba

OTHER ARRESTS PROBABLE
Tony Simmons Unable to Give Bail
Elvin Morsey Released on Bond
Sheriff Has Other Warrants-Results
of Investigations.

Tony Simmons, who is held in Jail at
Fort Myer Heights, Va, on a charge Of
shooting Harry C. Pancoast, an artillery
man, during disturbance at Rosslyn on
Wednesday night, was unable to furnish
bond in the sum of S1.5OO last night.
Simmons will be arraigned for a pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Thomp-
son at the Alexandria county court
house next Tuesday morning.
Elvin Marsey, charged with partici
pating in the disturbance and wreclling
of the saloon of James Geary, near the

was released from custody yesterday
afternoon on $500 bond, to await the
hearing next Tuesday, when he will ne
arraigned with Simmons. Marsey was
formerly constable of the county. and
resides at Ballston.
Soldiers at Court House.
Patrick J. McManus and George R.
Owens. members of the Signal Corps, u.
S. A. stationed at Fort Myer, who were
assaulted while passing through Rosslyn
on the way to the post from this city.
Thursday night, had sufficiently recov-
cred yesterday 30 permit their attend
ance at the Alexandria county court
house. 1t is said they identified both
Simmons and Marsey, who are charged
with having assaulted the soldiers. Sim
mons and Marsey deny participation in
any trouble at Rosslyn. Both men state
they did not assault the soldiers: had
no part in. and know nothing about the
disturbance
The story told the authorities of AL
exandria county yesterday as to the
origin of the trouble was that on We'd
nesday night, while a dance was in
progress on a pavilion back of Geary's
saloon, several soldiers made insulting
remarks about some or the women pres
ent, particularly Miss Mabel Simmons.
of Georgetown. cousin of Tony Sim
mons, now under arrest. Evidently
Simmons learned of the alleged insults
and it is said he put the blame at the
door of Artilleryman Pancoast. When
the latter left the dance. friends of
Pancoast claim. he was set upon. beat
en-. and shot by Simmons.
Saloon Wrecked.
The shooting of Panccast excited the
resentment of the soldiers at Fort
Myer. who have been in the habit. It is
said. of stopping in Rcsslyn when going
to and returning from this city This
spirit OF revenge had its sequel in the
riot of Thursday night. when the sa-
Icon Of James Geary, where is also To-
Gated the dancing pavilion, was wreck
ed, and damage estimated at nearly 81
GOO accomplished.
The major part of the mob which
wrecked the barroom was composed of
soldiers, yet there were some civilians
connected with the outrage. Since the
trouble both the civil and the military
authorities have been working to ferret
cut all concerned in the attack on the
saloon and cause their arrest
In addition to the arrests of Tony
Simmons and Marsey, twelve soldiers
are still confined in the guardhousc at

IHAL ENGE:S PROOF
OF CUBAN DISTRESS

States ought to enter into close and
closer reciprocal arrangements for trade
with the new republic to which the
United States had given birth. and
which. for coed or for evil, was to be
its immediate neighbor.
People Understand Question.
The question, he declared. was made
up From such statements as had been
made, largely based on speculative imag-
inings of witness employed by the beet
sugar interest. he would appeal to the
question. 1t would not down.
He regarded the annexation of Cuba
to the United States as the greatest
peril that today besets the Government.
He could think of nothing in the future
which was more dangerous. 1t was tho
plain duty Of the United States SO to
treat Cuba with reference to her COM
mercial relations to the United States
as to make her and keep her the friend
Of the United States.
Mr. Teller resented the 'pretension"
Of Mr.. Platt to lecture him. Mr. Platt's
threat of annexation Mr.. Teller charac-
terized as baby cry-a mere childish
attack. The agitation. he said, had not
been started in the interest of Cuba.
but In the interest of American owners
of sugar plantations in Cuba and In the
interest of the American sugar trust.
Do Not Want Annexation.
He asserted that the people Of Cuba
did not want to be annexed to the United
States. At least. the great mass of them
did not. The men who wanted annexa-
ticn were Americans who had gone to
Cuba and purchased hundreds of thou
sands Of acres of sugar lands. The men
who carried the banner Of Cuba and who
fought Spain did not want annexation
and would not have it unless 1t was
forced upon them, and that could not be
done without war.
II was generally suggested yesterday
that these two speeches would be the
total result at this session of the Cuban
movement in the Senate.
