THE FIGHT ON RECIPROCITY.
BEET SUGAR SENATORS AGREE ON
QUEER COMPROMISE.

VIII Support the House Reciprocity
Bill, Including Repeal of Dineren-
tial on Refined Sugar, Counting on
the Full Democratic Vote to Go
With Them-Their object, HOwev-
err, Is to Force the Administration
to Drop All Reciprocity Legisla-
ton.
Washington, June 1.-THE Republi-
can senators who are friendly to beet
sugar and who oppose the proposed
legislation for reduction of the tariff
on Cuban products, held a conference
of almost two hours duration to-day
and decided to continue their oppo-
sition to the reciprocity proposition.
They win do this hy announcing to the
advocates of tariff reduction that they
will cast their votes for the reciprocity
bill as it passed the House of Repre-
sentatives. including the Morris amend
ment for the abolition OF the differen-
tial duty on refined sugar. and that
they will resist all amendments that
may be offered on it. They will pro-
pose two alternatives. One of these is
to drop the subject and make no fur
Their attempt to secure reciprocity
legislation. The other Is to accept the
rebate plan.
A count of those present and those
absent and known to be in sympathy
with the movement led to the conclu-
sion that there are at least nineteen
Republican senators who can be de-
pended on to stand together in any
course agreed on.
Counting the full Democratic vote as
favorable to the House bill, the beet
sugar advocates conclude that a prop
osition to pass that measure unamend-
ed would be the strongest that could
be put forward. The combination of
the two forces would give a total of 80
votes, or seven more than a majority.
There was objection on the part CT
some of the senators present to accept
any of the House bill carrying the
abolition of the refined sugar differen-
tial with the reciprocity provision, hut
it was pointed out that by no other
course were the beet sugar senators
certain of securing the full Democratic
vote.
The Republican caucus of senators,
which it was announced yesterday
would be held Friday or Saturday has
not yet been called, and Senator Aid
rich tonight after a conference with
Senators Allison, Plat of Connecticut
and Mcmillan said that no date had
been decided on for the caucus. He
stiIl thought, however, that there
would be a caucus at an early day.

New York, June 12-Edward M.
Shepard gave a luncheon to-day at the
University Club, at which the guests
were Senator Edward w. Carmack of
Tennessee and Senator Frederick T.
Dubois of Idaho, minority members Of
the Senate Philippine Committee; Carl

had hoped to be present, but were de-
tained at the last moment.

The significance of the meeting of
so many prominent anti-imperialists
seems to be this: The luncheon was
arranged to make impossible in the flu
ture any dissention among the leaders
of the opposition to the government
Philippine policy. They met to discuss
every phase of the Eastern situation
and they left the table feeling that
they understood each other. Several

any immediate step would be taken by
the leaders present. One of the sena-
tors replied:
q" We came up from Washington to
meet the anti-imperialist leaders of
New York and Boston. Mr.. Shepard
kindly invited us to the University
Club. There we found that every
man Endorsed the action of
the minority which recently
offered a bill in the House asking for
complete independence for the Fill
pinos. The majority had passed in the
Senate a bill giving the Republican no.
tions of rule in these islands. We pre-
scented substitute BILL which was de-
feated. The majority bill is now in
the hands of the. House Committee.
The important point in to-day's con-
ference was the unmistakable support
which we received to the substitute
bill, which, though defeated, brought
out the existence of thorough harmony
between the Democrats of both houses
of Congress.

TERRELL REPLIES TO ESTILL

Asserts That He Has More Ground to
Complain of Irregularities Than
the Defeated Candidates.
Atlanta, June 12-Hon. ]. NJ. Terrell
made the following statement to-day
at Greenville:
Il have read and considered Col.
hstllTs protest, and was very much
surprised at its contents. The protest
is certainly without merit whatever.
Inc most casual observer of events
would be forced to conclude that the
irregularities ana unusual methods
used against me far exceeded those of
which even Col. Estill complains. The
technicalities set forth in his protest
amount to nothing and refer to mat
ters which not only did not affect the
result OF the election, burt of which
L had no concern or knowledge
and were not instigated to advance nv
interest. The will of the people as
freely and fairly expressed at the bal
lot box should not only be accepted
by all the Democrats of the state, but
the opposing candidates should lead
the procession in accepting the result
l should have done So had either of
my opponents occupied the position
that now occupy-that of being the
choice of the majority of my party

.d From the NcighborhoOd on the
Charge That He Was Running a
DisorderIy House-only Witness OF

BiRsers.
Atlanta, June 12.-W. H. Simpson, a
.,au carrier, was shot and killed this
morning by Willis r. Biggers. neigh
bor. H. I. Sterne, Biggers' brother
in-law. was present. Biggers and
sterne claim that the shooting was
done in elf-defense. The men had
hsan enemies for some time, Simpson
having circulated a petition through
the neighborhood asking that they be
compelled to move, charging that they
we're running a disorderly house. The
case was taken into the recorders
court but was dismissed because the
charges were not proven.
Biggers and Sterne met Simpson on
Crew street this morning and. so they
say. demanded an explanation from
him. They assert that he fired at them
first and that Biggers killed him in
self-defense. There was no eyewitness
10 the first shot, though several per-
sons saw the remainder of the shots
fred.
Biggers had a bullet hole through his
coat sleeve, which, he says, was made
by Simpsons shot
Immediately after the shooting, Lin
ton Simpson, a 1S-year-ol6 son OF
simpson, appeared on the scene with a
parlor rifle and tried to shoot Biggers
who was being held under arrest. The
sife was taken away from the boy by
a lady bystander. 1t is said that Big
gers and Storms went to Simpsons
house last night about 10 o'clock to
see him, but Simpson, fearing trouble,
refused to go out and meet the men.
When he left his home this morning
his wife, who feared there would be
trouble, asked her husband to take his
revolver, which he did. The shooting
occurred three blocks from Simpson
house.

Pembroke, Ga, June 12.-Ex-Senator
w. w. Gieger, one of Bryan's most
honored citizens, died this morning,
suddenly and only lived few min

say it was some heart trouble that

citizen as there is in the state. He
held office in the county as school COM

instances he always gave the best
satisfaction. In his death the county

His First Drunk at the Age of 1O2.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Among the prisoners called on TO
answer the charge Of drunkenness at the
Central station yesterday was an old
man. He told Magistrate Kochersperg-
err that his name was Daniel Ryan
and that he lived at 1887 South Amer
lean street. Asked what he had to say
he replied feebly he had a Mt: that
he had been to the Pennsylvania Hos
pital for medicine and didn't feel right
when he came out.
"How old are your" asked the magis-
t-ate.
IT was born in March. 1900. and have
never been drunk BEFORE" said the old
man.
WHAT" said the magistrate.
there's some mistake here. Why you
would be 102 years old"
I'm 1s00,'' replied the old man; that's
what my father always told me-"
''Well you're too old to go to jail.

credulous; "go home"

The Boy who Deceived His Teacher.
From Success.

The boy who used to boast of getting
the best of his teacher has been heard
from. The same traits of character
which tempted him to deceive his
teacher into believing that he had
solved his problems and completed his
tasks himself, led him to cheat his en-
Rloyer, to idle whenever his back was
turned, and to slip his days work, until
he finally lost his position.
His lack of education-the result of
cheating his teacher-has proved per-
petual handicap, and has lost him many
a good situation. His dishonesty, which
started In the schoolroom, has grown
until nobody will trust him, and he has
no credit or standing in his communi-
ty.
AS a. boy, he thought himself very
clever in being able to dodge his les
sons and impose upon his teacher; but
he realizes now that the person cheat
ed was himself. In those precious days
of youth, he robbed himself of pearls
of great value which he never will be
able to recover.
The thief Of time and opportunity
often thinks he Is enrichign himself.
but he awakes one day to the truth
that he is poorer and meaner for the
theft
