RESOLUTION LAID ON TABLE
Especial DISPATCH to The Times.)


NEW ORLEANS, La. December 10
Louisiana Confede. ate veterans are very
much exercised over Senator Iohn b
torakar's Confederate gra,re bill They
are about equal divided in their praise
and their denuucia lion. some alleging
that the ONO Senator's move is only
throwing sop to the Southern people.
To-day's meeting Of the Army OF
Tennessee, Camp No . United Confed-
crate Veteran ISOLATION devoted prac-
tlcally its entire time to the Foraker
measure, the debate growing very hot.
President Lewis Guion was in the chair.
The bitter contest was sprung when Col
onel James Dlnkins moved that vote
Of thanks be. extended Senator j. &.
Foraker, of Ohio. for his having recently
introduced in Congress bill appro-
priatng S101000 for the purpose Of putting
in order and maintaining the Confeder-
ate Cemetery at Camp Chase, o., ana
also for pttting UP marble tonostones.
Colonel D.nkins said that . years
ago this same Senator introduced and
caused the passage Of q. bill in Congress
appropriating $50 600 for the building OF
fence around that cemetery. Now in view
Of his recent action Tor the maintenance
Of the cemetery in proper order. a vote
OF thanks should be rendered him.
General J. \. Cnalaron wenemently op-
posed that motion. he said that from
time to time at the approach Of elections.
some northern politician gets UP a scheme
TO throw a sop at the southern people.
and this is one Of the schemes for the
sole purpose OF enlist:ng the syrlpa thies
OF the old Conefederates. General Chala-
ron added that this same Foraker when
he was Governor OF Ohio vetoed the bill
that provided for the return.to Confed-
crate commands OF flags captured by
Ohio regiments during the civil war. He
therefore moved to POSTPONE the motion
until next meeting.
Colonel Clen l. Walker and nth9:s

should be considered very deliberately
and maturely before being passed by the

Especial Dispatch to The Times

NEW YORK, Dec. i0.-It is getting
warmer, but it is only little relief. The
cold wave has not passed. Rain or snow
is predicted for tonight Then to-mor-
row another freeze. Yet, despite the
moderation in the coldness to-day. there
is great suffering.
The scarcity of fuel" cry is a fiction.
There is enough coal in and about New
York, together with the daily shipments
received, to relieve the pressing necessity
Of fuel
The apparent scarcity is due to a gen
eral hold-up, in which both wholesalers
and retailers are interested.
An appeal to j. Pierpont Morgan for
a supply of coal for the poor Of New York
has been made by Commander Booth
Tucker on behalf Of the Salvation Army.
The great financier has been asked to
of a regular supply of from twenty-five
to one hundred tons a day at reason
able price for distribution in small quaint
tiles among those whose Sufferings are
greatest.
Mr.. Morgan has promised to render all
the aid in his power "A check for $1,000,
to be used in purchasing coal for the
poor, has been sent to Salvation Army
Headquarters by Miss Helen Gould.
Other liberal donations have been re-
ceived and there is no lack of money.
AT the coal yards the Salvation Army
wagons are given preceuence over those
Of other purchasers. but the supply is so
meaere that only few tons a day have
been distributed.

from the island and then return
the proper proportion of lt-say
25 per cent-to the Cuban treas
ury, whence it will be distributed
for the benefit Of the whole Cuban
people. This method the sugar
trust, and all the varied agents
which it is behind, do not of
course favor.
The testimony before the con-
g'TeSSiOnal committees shows that
the tobacco growers Of the Unit
ed States are almost a unit in
their opposition to the proposed
reduction of the productive duty
on Cuban wrapper and filler to-
baccos which come into this
country. They maintain that
the burden of the desired assist
ance to Cuba should not fall
solely on the two industries of
tobacco and sugar, but that such
assistance should come from the
people of the United States.
Senator "Pitchfork" Tillman's
disgraceful attack upon his col
league in the Senate was simply
the columination of months Of
indiscrininate vituperation and
abuse of his political opponents.
The cOncensus of opinion seems
to be that his beer garden,
methods of argument have been
brought to a close in the Senate.
The President concluded that

in the position, BIZ Democratic
politicians, of favoring or en-
dorsing legislation in tie in
terests of the sugar trust, simply
because he insists that "somc-
thing must be done for Cuba"
He has left the manner of doing
that something" with Congress.
Propositions have been made all
all the way from free trade be-
tween Cuba and the United States
down to 20 per cent reduction
from the Dingley rates. Any or
all of these propositions the
sugar trust will support. Why?
Because the trust absolutely con-
trolls the price of raw sugar in
the United States and it would
pay for Cuban sugar just what
price it chose. In other words
the 20 per cent reduction in the
tariff would go into the pockets
of the trust.
1.-The whole fight for reduc-
ion of the tariff on Cuban sugar, "
said one of the highest officials
at Washington, lis being made
by the sugar trnst. Everybody
wants to help Cuba, but the
sugar trust is the only party that
snsists that it shall be done in a
certain specified way-by the re-
duction of the tariff, which re-
duction of sugar would go solely
into the pockets of the trust"
The statement has been made
by at least two of the very highest
officials of the Government that
the proper way to assist Cuba is
to collect the whole Dingley duty

One day last week Gov. Say
age had an article in the State
Journal, criticising that paper
for giving publicity TO the scnti-
ment expressed by the country
press against the pardon of Bart
ley. The governor held that, as
members OF the State Journal
had signed the petition for Bart
ley's pardon, the paper was not
consistant in aiding his critics
by republishing what they had
to say. Personally, the govern
or's position is correct. But the
State Journal could not discharge
its obligation to its thousands of
readers in Supprcssing matters of
SO general interest. Had it ig-
nored what the opposition had to
say, its motives would have been
severely questioned, and its
standing as a news dispenser
very much lowered in the estima-
tion of the public. The pardon
ing OF BARLEY was not private
matter, and it was clearly within
the province of the pulic to cx-
press its opinion. This it did
drought the country press, and
the newspaper that has refrained
from giving its readers the gen
eral opinion expressed through
out the state from personal re-
gard for the governor, has neith-
er helped the governor nor been
true to its readers, who are en-
titled to know what Others think
on the subject.
