SENATOR'S TO CONFER.
Effort VIII Be Made to Report a Reel
procity Bill This Week.

WASHINGTON, June H.-The present
plans of the senatorial supporters OF Cuban
reciprocity to press the question to an
issue next week This was the result of
the conferences held to-day and yesterday.
According to the programme as now ar
ranged. the Republican members of the
committee on Cuban relations will meet
either Monday or Tuesday and finally
agree upon the exact terms of the bill to
be reported as a substitute for the House
bill. The measure thus agreed on will be
reported to a Republican caucus TO be held
Tuesday or Wednesday. and If the caucus
indorses the measure it then will be
brought before a meeting of the full com
mittee on Cuban relations and reported to
the Senate The desire is to have all this
done by the time the isthmian canal bill
is disposed of on Thursday, so that the
reciprocity bill may be given the first place
in the order Of business.
The reciprocity advocates still profess
the utmost confidence in their ability to
pass through the Senate any bill that may
be recommended by the committee and
caucus. They count largely upon the un-
willingness of Republican members TO
align themselves strictly with the opposi-
tion against a bill that has been made
party measure by the Presidents message
and there are indications that at least in
some instances this representation will
prove sound.
Inc critical point VIII come upon the aC-
ceptance of the House bill with its amend
ment for the removal of the differential
duty on refined sugar. The beet-sugar Re-
publcans are all protectOnists, and there
has been from the beginning a division as
to the expediency of adopting a policy
looking to the abolition of this duty This
opposition found evidence in Thursdays
beet-sugar caucus, but the decision to
stand by the House BILL unamended was
secured largely upon the understanding
that such a course would inevitably result
I'm the defeat of all legislation. Recent de-
velopments lead to the conclusion that if
any considerable number of Republicans
should adhere to the determination TO vote
with the Democrats to support the House
bill IL would pass the Senate. There would
would go To the President, who, il is ex-
pected. would attach his signature and
thus make a law of the bill, with the Nor
ris amendment included This provision
would of course. affect the beet-sugar in
terests equally with the trust in proportion
to the extent of their refining industry
and IL is not desired. The beet-sugar re-
fners say they would lose about $500 900
annually, while the cane-sugar refners
would lose $50 600, but they argue that the
cane refiners would still have an ADVANTAGE
in the reduction on Cuban raw sugar They
also hesitate to violate the principle of
protection.
None of the beet-sugar Republicans has
gone so far rs TO announce his nonadher-
ence to Thursdays agreement. but their
discussion of the phase of the question has
given hope to the reciprocity advocates
and lends color to their claim that in the
end they will secure a Republican vote
sufficiently large for their purposes.

PROGRAMME OF SENATORS
CUBA'S FRIENDS TO TEST THEIR
STRENGTH THIS WEEK.
Caucus Of Republicans VIII BE Held
and nm Attempt Made TO Settle
the Reciprocity Matter.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Elkins
to-day introduced a joint resolution in the
Senate providing for the annexation of
Cuba and for its admission as a State Of
the Union. The resolution grants the con-
sent of Congress to the erection of the
Republic of Cuba as State of the Union,
Ito be called the State of Cuba, with a
republican form of government, to be
adopted by the people Of said republic by
deputies in convention assembled, with the
consent of the existing government" A con-
dition is specified that the Constitution OF
the proposed State shall be submitted TO
Congress not later than Jan. l. 1904. There
also is provision that the debts of Cuba
shall not become a charge upon the gen.
eral government There also is an alterna-
tive provision giving the President author
ity, If he prefer, to proceed in more di-
rect way for Cuban admission as a State.
This provision permits the admission under
the terms of the resolution itself instead
of proceeding to submit the resolution to
Cuba as an overture on the part of the
United States" If this latter course is
pursued a State is to be formed tout of the
present Republic Of Cuba, with a repub-
ncan form of government. and with repre-
sentatves in Congress, and be admitted
into the Union by this act on an equal foot
ing with the existing States as soon as the
terms and conditions of such admission
shall be agreed upon by the governments
Of the Republic Of Cuba and the United
States. The resolution provides for the
appropriation OF 100000 to carry its pro-
visions into effect.
Senator ElkinS, speaking of the resolu-
ton, said that Texas was admitted under
precisely the same terms as this resolution
provided for Cuba. He said he preferred
the admission of Cuban to granting
100000 a year on her account out of
the revenues. without knowing where it
would go. BY providing for the admis-
sion of Cuba there would be no more diff
ferences in the Republican party on the
subject of tariff relations with the island.

upon the President to-day to ascertain
his attitude toward the movement

licitous of ascertaining whether the

were presented to the President by
Gen. James S. Clarkson, surveyor of
the port of New York. Postmaster
General Payne arrived at the White
House while the conference was in
progress, and was present part of the
time. After the interview the colored
men expressed themselves as highly
pleased with what the President had
said to them. They announced that
the President had stated to them that
his actions in all matters affecting the
negroes was his answer as TO his at
