and disclaiming every bad thing, say
that the Republican party deserves the
credit for Rural Free Delivery, just ask
them in reply under whose admipistra-

are aware OF the fact that the present eff

cratic Postmaster General. and inquire of
them if they do not think that his contin-

PRESIDENT OPPOSED
TO REBATE PLAN
Believes 1t lmpracticable and
Unconstitutional.
Senator Ell:ins Fails to Convince
Would Veto Measure-Special
Message Possible.

President Roosevelt reiterated yester-
day his determination to oppose any spe-
cics of rebate proposition suggested as
a solution of the Cuban tariff question.
He stands where he has stood f-cm
the start, as an advocate CT duty re-
duction for the gciief of the Cuban plant
ers. He made this assertion yesterday
to several Senators and Representatives.
Senator Ell,ns, CT West Virginia, the
leader OF the Boxers" who are opposed
to the tariff reduction. held consulta-
tion with the President yesterday morn
ing upon the matter, but was unable 10
shake the Executives decision
Representative Long OF Kansas, i
member Of the House Ways and Means
Committee. was another caller who was
assured that nothing short of a straight
tariff reduction would suit the head Of
the Administration. If Congress should
pass rebate compromise. the President
would undoubtedly veto it at once. as
he looks upon the rebate plan as not
only unconstitutional but impractical BILE
Though there seems to De a some
what general expectation that the Pres
ident may send TO Congress shortly a
special message on the Cuban matter, il
is stated at The White House that no
such action is now under consideration
Should the President determine to send
a message 10 Congress. it is believed it
will merely call attention to the duty
of this country to Cuba and urge suita-
bic action.

Stands by Message.

The President stands by his original
message TO Congress in December; which
recommended "a substantial reduction
in the tariff duties upon Cuban imports
into the United States.'' This is what is
proposed by the bill passed by the
House of Representatives and the bill
agreed 20 by the Republican members
OF the Committee on Cuban Relations
and known as the Spooner compromise.
1t is the bill that Senator Platt is the
author of and that the committee stands
fer, and Senator Aldrich and Senator
Allison and all of the other leaders OF
the Senate Republicans as well as the
rank and file of the party in the Senate.
The Spooner compromise plan ..as
agreed to by the Republican Senators
on the Cuban Relations Committee not
because it was what all of them would
have preferred il they could have had
their way. but because it was a PROPOSE
tion upon which at least forty-five of the
fifty-fcur Senators could stand in line
with the policy of the President and the
House of Representatives.
Senator Spooner, the author Of The
compromise proposition. was originally
opposed to any tariff concessions what
ever to Cuba. and to any commercial.
relief for the pec:'le of Cuba. Senator
Mcmillan OF Michigan. another member
of the committee. who represents a beet
sugar State, was at first opposed 20 any
tariff reduction. He stands with his

The three Republican Senators on the

absolutely refuse to consider any prop

COMMITTEE IN CONFERENCE
No Settlement Reached at Yesterdays
Meeting - Advocates of Tariff Con-
cessiOns and of Rebate Plan Both De-
cline to Recede From Position.

Another long session yesterday of the
consultation committee of Republican
Senators representing the two factions
in the controversy over the framing of
a Cuban tariff reduction bill accom-
plished practically nothing toward
reaching an agreement.
Each side stood firm. the one for the
five year 20 per cent reciprocal reduc-
ton. which was agreed TO by the Re
publican members OF the Committee on
Cuban Relations. and the other ior the
plan of paying over rebate OF the
duties collected on Cuban imports to
the Cuban government.
Senator Plat OF Connecticut. chair
man of the committee. and those who
agreed with him contend that it would
be unconstitutional to pay s6.0OO.OCo
which is estimated to be 20 per cent Of
the value of the present years crop
out of the Treasury to the people of any
foreign country. and that the American
public would not indorse such unpre-
cedented legislation.
The rebate Senators replied to this that
the American public would be better
pleased with 4 bill to pay this amount
of money out of the Treasury after It
had been collected from importers of
sugar than they would be to grant 20
per cent reduction in the tariff rates TO
these importers. the majority Of whom
they say are Americans and chiefly Off
GERS of the American Sugar Refining
Company. otherwise known as the sugar
trust. and thus make the beet sugar
manufacturers of the United States stand
the whole burden OF the tax.
The Washington times., 1902-06-08
Attitude of President.

Another important point of yesterdays s
discussion in the consultation commit
tee was the alleged attitude of President
Roosevelt. During the past two or three
days the statement has been made over
and over again by Senators who adyo-
cate the rebate plan OF commercial re-
lief to Cuba that the President would
sign a bill providing for the payment or
rebate out of the tariff collections on
Cuban imports to the Cuban government.
TO be turned over to the sugar planters,
but when challenged by Senators on the
other side of the question, not one Of
these men would accept responsibility
for the statement. The truth is said to
be that President Roosevelt has never
said to anybody that q rebate bill would
be acceptable to him. although the most
persistent efforts have been made to in
duce him to so declare himself.
