Payne's statement as to the Morris proposition. MT. Morris con cludes as follows: MT. Payne knows that this was proposed in no spirit of hostili- ty either to the President or to the ways and means committee, but on the con- trary as a suggestion which would pre- vent the House from being placed in an attitude hostile to the President and would bring peace and harmony in the Republican party and restore confidence to our domestic sugar producers In the advancement of this proposition no at tempt was made to work out details That was left to the wisdom of the ways and means committee.
 ''1 do not think it wise or conducive to harmony that Republicans, and especial ly the chairman of the ways and means committee should be making statements in the nature of arguments In the public press while the conferences of the Re- publicans are in progress. l have re- trained from doing this since these con ferences began, but I feel that I can not remain silent in the face of MT.

ANXIOUS PARENT
 ARRIVES TOO LATE
SAW CONCLUSION OF CEREMONY WHICH WEDDED HIS DAUGHTER TO GORDON ALEXANDER OF ALABAMA-ASSEN

Chicago, March 7.-After racing across the state in an endeavor to prevent the marriage of his daughter Miss Daisy Clem, to Gordon Alexander, H. A. Glenn, president of the National Stock Yards of East St. Louis, arrived in Chicago just in time to witness the conclusion of the wedding ceremony. Then instead of be- coming enraged over his lack of success, he accepted the situation and gave his blessing to the couple
 The only ground of objection the pa rents of the young couple had to their marriage was extreme youth. The bride who was one of East St. Louis beauties, is but IT years of age. Gordon Alexander who has been employed in St. Louis is the son of William H. Alexander of Mo- bile, Ala, is 20 years of age and comes from one of the best families in the South.

DOUGLAS ASKS
 CONGRESS TO ACT
DECISION IN NORTHERN SECURE TIES CASE SHUTS OUT MIN NEsoTA FROM REDRESS IN THE FEDERAL COURTS.

Minneapolis. Minn., March 7.-Attorney General Douglas has applied to Congress in the Northern Securities case. With the backing of the Minnesota Legislature and of the Minnesota delegation in both branches of Congress at Washington he hopes for an amendment to the judicial acts which will change the anomalous position in which Minnesota is now placed.
 The decision in the Northern Securities case shuts out the state completely from redress in the Federal courts. The court lays down the rule that a state cannot sue a citizen of another state where citi- zens of the plaintiff state are necessary parties. Both the Senate and House of the State Legislature have passed reso- luton drawn up by the attorney general.
 It is probable that a bill will be intro duced in both branches of Congress amending the judiciary act as the attor- ney general suggests.

ALL COUNTIES ABOLISHED.
American Minister at Brussels Makes
 Official Sugar Report.

Washington, March 7.-Minister Town send, at Brussels, has informed the State Department that he is able to eer- tfy as official the statement of the agreement reached by the beet sugar producing countries, namely, the aboli- tion of all bounties on sugar and provis- ion for a uniform customs tariff of 6 francs per one hundred kilograms, or about half cent a pound.' Roumania alone of the countries represented at the conference, withdrew and refused to en- ter into this arrangement. Her total sugar production Is believed to be too small to affect the integrity of the agree ment.
 These facts have been made known to the United States treasury and they must proceed at once to take steps to remove the countervailing duties now levied on bounty paid on sugar. This considerably affects the revenues. It will be for the treasury officials to say when the change Is to take effect and how carGoes In snip ment will be affected.
