Meet Sugar senatorS Confer with
Their CoIIeagues ON Cuban ReIa-
lions Committee

tOHfmlIIees
Washington, June 5.-The commit
tee appointed by the beet sugar SEN
ators consisting of Senators Elkins,
Burrows and Jones of Nevada, to con-
FER with the Republican members of
the Senate Committee on Cuban Rela-
uons as to the degree of relief to be
gwen TO the Cubans in the way of
tarlH concessions or otherwise, had
their first meeting with that commit
tee to-day. The meeting was attend
ed on the part of the committee by
senators Platt of Connecticut. Cullom
ana Spooner. No agreement was
reached and an adjournment was
taken until tomorrow The propo-
sltion to grant a rebate on Cuban
products was made by the beet sugar
representatives. The proposition was
not fatty rejected, but Mr.. Platt
stated on behalf of the majority of
the committee that he was not now
prepared or disposed to accept it.
The conference for a time took the
shape of discussion of the wisdom of
a general revision of the tariff. but it
was generally agreed that this is not
desirable from any point of view. The
beet sugar men then urged that there
was no more reason for reduction of
the duty on sugar and tobacco than
upon other commodities. They con-
tended that it would be unfair to make
a reduction upon those articles, and not
upon others, and said that if the pend
ing legislation should be enacted into
law the Republican party would be
held responsible for legislation affect
ing adversely the farming interests.

RIOTING AT PROVIDENCE.
Street Railway Strike Gives Ground
For Much Disorder.

Providence, r. L, June 5.-The street
railway strike took a violent form to-
night. Crowds of men blocked the
streets and hooted and jeered at the
officers and passengers of the cars,
throwing missiles through the windows,
cutting trolley ropes and defacing with
knives the interior fittings of cars. The
officers freely used their clubs in half
a dozen individual riots, mounted men
charged the crowds and twenty-five-ar-
rests were made.
The initial cause of the disturbance
was the parade of about 800 striking
conductors and motormen. The line
of march led up the main thorough
fare, where a crowd soon gathered.
Motormen and conductors on the cars
which followed, were Kissed and jeered
at until a blockade gave opportunity
for a demonstration. There was
instant response. The trolley
was pulled off, missiles filled
the air, and for half an
hour the thousands shouted themselves
hoarse. Towards midnight the excite
ment ceased and the crowd dispersed.

from is miles to % were broken by
Albert Champion on Charles River
Park track tonight during a 25-mile
individual motor paced race against
Elkes, Walthour and Mcfarland. His
time for 25 miles was 37:15 3-5 The
record was 37:17, made by Walthour
last year. This race was a substitute

machine. The original agreement was
for Elkes and Walthour to race Cham

trouble over motors. After keeping
the crowd waiting for nearly three
hours, the individual race was started

TAFT RECEIVED AT VATICAN.
Presented Letter From President TO
Pope Leo and n Set OF MIR. Roose-
vets Literary Works.


Rome, June 5.---The Pope to-day re-
ceived Judge Taft, civil governor of
the Philippine Islands: Bishop Thomas
O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, S. D.; Judge
Smith and Maj. Porter of the Judge
Advocates Department at Washington.
The Americans We're met at the en-
trance of the Vatican by Mgr.
Bisleti, the papal chamberlain, and
were conducted to the Pope's private
library. Judge Taft there presented to
his holiness a letter from President
Roosevelt and a box containing Pres
ident Roosevelts literary works, and
the Pope expressed his thanks
for Mr. Roosevelt's friendly
greetings, promised to study the Phil
ippihe question and said he hoped for
good results. The Pope also asked
Judge Taft to thank President Roose-
Welt for his gift.
Bishop O'Gorman acted as interpreter
and NAB Porter read the Presidents
letter. The audience lasted forty min
utes.
Judge Taft subsequently met Cardi-
nal Rampolla, the papal secretary of
state, and opened the discussion of
Philippine matters.
While talking with the Pope, Gov.
Taft reviewed in a summary way the
questions in the Philippines which re-
quire settlement. He pointed out to
His Holiness that the readjustment of
the relations of church and state in
the islands was not an indication of
hostility of the United States to the
Catholic Church, but declared that such
REIMBURSEMENT was merely a necessity
under the American constitution. Gov.
TAFT referred to the prosperity and the
freedom of the Roman Catholic Church
in the United States. and cited these
conditions as an assurance that the
Vatican had nothing to fear from the
extension of the authority of the United
States over the Philippine Islands.
Replying to Gov. Taft, the pontiff
said that the Roman Catholic Church
had the greatest pride in the United
States. He said he earnestly desired
to help the American administration OF
the Philippines in every possible way,
and he assured Gov. Taft that the
Vatican would approach all questions
raised in the broadcast and most con-
ciliatory spirit. The Pope said
also that matters of detail,
in connection with the questions
tc be decided would be referred to a
committee of cardinals, where they
would be considered at length and that
all the issues would be treated with
the sole aim of reaching a settlement
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The Pope appeared to be in excellent
health during his interview with Gov.
Taft and was of Vivacious humor. He
referred pleasantly to Archbishop Ire
land in what he had to say coicerning
the Roman Catholic Church in the
Uuited States.

Changed Conditions Resulting

Changed Conditions Resulting
From Civilization.
Washington, June 5.-Before an as
semblage that crowded the National
Theater, President Roosevelt to-day
opened the eleventh annual convention
of the Association of Military Surgeons
of the United States. The President
made brief speech, in which he said:
Conditions in modern civilization
tend more and moro to make the
average life of the community one of
great softness, of great ease, COM
pared to what has been the case in the
past, and together with all the adj
vantages that have come from this
softening of life, this rendering it more
easy, there are certain attendant dis
advantages, also. 1t is a very neces-
sary thing that there should be some
professions, some trades where the
same demands are made now as
have been made in the past upon the
heroic qualities in a man, and those
demands are made alike upon the sol
der and upon the doctor, and how
much more upon those who are both
soldiers and DOCTORS
The president urged perfection in sci
entific work, and said the surgeon
should be also an able administrator.

THE ANTI-ANARCHY DEBATE.
Legal Features of the Proposed
Measure Discussed in the House.

Legal Features of the Proposed
Measure Discussed in the House.
Washington, June 5.-The general
debate on the anti-anarchy bill was
ended to-day except for two speeches
which will be made tomorrow. Mr..
Littlefield of Maine will make the
closing argument in support of the
measure. The debate to-day, like that
of yesterday, was devoted to legal ar
guments over controverted questions
involved in the proposed legislation.
The speakers to-day were Messrs Sib-
ley of Pennsylvania, De Almond of
Missouri, Williams of Mississippi,
Wooten of Texas, MeDermott of New
Jersey, Loud of California, Crum-
packer of Indiana, Maddox of Geor-
gia, Ball of Texas and Clark of Mis-
souri,.
Mir. DeArmond defended some of
the features of the bill that had been
attacked. But he believed the thir-
teenth section of the bill was uncon-
sti@utiona and that the section de-
signed to protect foreign ambassadors
and ministers should be stricken out.
Mr.. Williams supported the bill. He
said he found nothing in it that was
unconstitutional or undemocratic. He
was opposed to the bill as reported
from the committee because it circulu-
scribed the crime with conditions which
might embarrass the prosecution.
Mr.. Clark declared that the expedi-
tious trial of Czolgosz at Buffalo was
an honor to the Jurisprudence of New
York, while that of Guiteau in Wash
ingtOn was a disgrace to that of the
District of Columbia.

San Francisco June 5.-President
Newhall of the Chamber of Commerce

has the unanimous support of the

and as a business proposition is the
route we should choose. l wish you
