The critical point will come upon the
acceptance of the House bill with it's
amendment for the removal of the diff
ferential duty on refined sugar. The
beet sugar Republicans are all protec-
tionists, and there has from the be-
ginning been a division as to the ex-
pediency of adopting a policy looking
to the abolition of this duty. This OPP
position found voice in Thursdays beet
sugar caucus, but the decisin to stand
by the House bill unamended was Sc
cured largely upon the understanding
that such a course would inevitably
result in the defeat of all legislation.
Recent developments lead to the con-
clusion that if any considerable number
of Republicans should adhere to the
determination to vote with the Demo-
Gratis to support the House bill it would
pass the Senate.
There would then be no chance for
a conference, and the bill would go
to the President, who, it is expected,
would attach his signature, and thus
make law of the bill with the Morris
amendment included

Washington, June 1.-THE present
plans of the senatorial supporters of
Cuban reciprocity are 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 arranged, the
Republicans members of the Commit
Tee on Cuban Relations will meet eth
er Monday or Tuesday and finally
agree upon the exact terms of the bill
to be reported as a substitute for the
House bin The measure thus
agreed upon will be reported to a Re
publican caucus to be held Tuesday
or Wednesday, and if the caucus in
dorses the measure it will then be
brought before meeting of the full
Committee 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 con-
fidence in their ability to pass through
the Senate any bill that may be rec
commended by the committee and eau

COST OF THE WAR.
Secretary Root sends Information
Regarding Philippine Rebel
lion to Senate.

Washington, June 20. = Secretary
Root on Thursday made answer to
the senate resolution of April II call
ing for information as to the cost of
the war in the Philippines. The sec
rotary shows the total cost OF the
war to date, including outstanding
obligations, to be S170,326,3S6. He
calls attention to the fact that large
quantities of valuable property, such
as ships, lighters, ETC., horses and
mules, wagons and harness, clothing
equipage and ordnance, medical, sig
nal and engineering supplies, the cost
of which is included in the statement,
still remain on hand in the Philip
pine islands for use. Parts of these
supplies are already being reshipped
to this country. He says also that
a large part of the expense during
the past year should not properly
be treated as occasioned by military
operations in the Philippine islands,
for the reason that it consists of pay
and maintenance of troops whom wo
would have to pay and maintain,
whether they were in the Philippines
or not, in order to keep up the mini
mum number of regular troops re-
quired by law as a safeguard against
future contingencies.

A CELERY cAMELIA.
The Flower Was Missing ana the
Vegetable Was Made TO
Serve Instead.

While speaking of the serio-comic side OF
stage life recently, relates the New York
Times, Miss Clara Morris told the following
story as an experience of her own: :,
Somewhere in the wide world" she SAID,
"there is an actor-and good one-who
never eats celery without thinking OF me. IL

In the first scene, you will remember, the

the strength of the scene. However, 1 con-

stage. On the dinner table was some celery.

pany's properly, but otherwise he
shall adopt the Nicaragua route, would
command the votes of a majority OF
the senate. The Panama route was
considered more desirable by the SEN
ate than the Nicaragua route. The
only question left open is the title to
the property, and that the president
will determine, if the house should
adopt the senate's amendment to its
bill.
Senator Morgan (Ala.) closed the
debate with an earnest appeal for the
adoption of the Nicaragua route. He
had been preceded by Senator Clark
(Mont.) in support Of the Nicaragua
route, and Allison (Ia.) in support of
the Spooner proposition. Only minor
amendments, except those indicated,
were adopted, all others being voted
down.
The Spooner amendment. as amended
and adopted by the senate provides that
the president. through the law officers
OF the government, shall determine IL a
clear title can be obtained OF the Pana-
ma company's property. rights and con-
cessions. II he shall be satisfied that
such title can be obtained. he shall pur-
chase the property. rights and conces-
sions for S40,000.0O0. II. in his opinion, a
clear title cannot be obtained. he shall
proceed to construct an isthmian canal
by the Nicaragua route. The bill further
provides that commission OF seven
shall be appointed by the president to
supervise the work and to make arrange
ments for all the details of 1t. 1t also
provides that gold bonds In the sum OF
$780, 900 900 bearing two per cent interest
shall be issued to raise money with
which to construct the canal.
