PAY BONUS ON CANE
MINNESOTA MEN FIGHT CUBAN RE-
CIPROCITY.
WOULD HURT REPUBLICANS.
SUGAR BEET GROWERS WOULD
NOT STAND FOR 1T.

Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota Advocates
Paying a bonus of 20 Cents a Ton
on Cane Direct TO the Cuban Sugar
Planter and Making the Law Ret
rOactive to Nov. 1-Says Tariff Re-
ductiOn Would Only Benefit Sugar
Trust-RepubIican Caucus Accom-
pIished Nothing.
Washington, March 3.-The Republi-
can members of the House, who met
in conference again tonight, after
three hours of fruitless discussion, ad-
journed until Thursday. without action.
Mr.. Tawney and Mr.. Morris of Mime
sofa, who oppose direct tariff conces-
sion and espouse the plan of giving a
rebate direct to the Cuban sugar plant
ers, held the floor throughout the even
ing. Much feeling was manifested. Po-
litical disaster to the Republican party
In the beet sugar states was predicted
If the tariff on sugar was lowered for
the benefit of the Cubans when another
solution was open.
Mr.. Tawney had modified his prop
osition of week ago to provide that
it should be retroactive until Nov /,
1901, in order to ever all the present
sugar crop, and instead of providing
that 20 per cent. of the duties collect
ed should be returned as his former
proposition did, that 20 cents on each
ton of cane produced should be distrlb-
uted directly to the sugar growers.
The distribution under his plan would
be made through the military govern
ment until the civil government is es-
tablished. He figured that 20 cents a
ton would be equivalent to 20 per cent.
of the duty and maintained that his
plan would insure the receipt
of the money by those whom
Congress desired to benefit If a d.
rect tariff concession We're made he
maintained that the benefit would ac-
crue to the sugar trust and not the Gu
ban planters. In this connection he
produced a report made by the Ways
and Means Committee in the last Con-
gress on resolution introduced by Alr.
Richardson, the minority leader, far
the return of the duties collected ON
Porto Rican sugar. This report, it de-
Veloped, was drawn by Gen. Grosvenor
Mr.. Tawney read from this report,
which contended that the beneficiary
of the Richardson resolution would be
the sugar trust, and drew the infer
ence that the same result would fol-
low a reduction of the duty on sugar
from Cuba. Mr.. Tawney earnestly
urged the necessity for his retroactive
proposition.
IF there is need for relief, as is
claimed said he, sit is important that
the relief should be immediate. With
out the Retrospective clause no benefit
would result from the rebate until
next years crop"
Mr.. Tawney underwent a sharp fire
of questions from Mr.. Payne of New
York Mr.. Long OF Kansas and others
lie was asked whether 1t was his in
tention that the rebate should DO to
nonresident owners of sugar lands in
Cuba, and he replied in the negative.
He declared that our own citizens who
were engaged in speculation in Cuba
did not ned our Iargess.

at the door of the Auditorium Hotel
tonight at the time Prince Henry was
entering it after his arrival from

My sovereign is ever an advocate of

with the nations.

greatness grows upon me daily as l
travel through your land.

PIeasure-LiberaI Member Refers
to the Power of the German EIe-
ment in the United states-Count
Won BueIOw's Remarks Meet with
Warm AppIause-He Announces
That Germany Will Not Help the
Beers.
Berlin, March 3.-Herr Hasse Glib
eraD referring to the visit of Prince
Henry to the United States, said he
was glad to see it had frustrated the
designs of Great Britain against
German-American understanding, but
that the German element in the United
States was power which would not
and should not build up state within
a state.
Herr Gradnauer (Social Democracy
ridiculed the idea of advantage rising
from Prince Henry's visit.
Replying to Herr Gradnauer,- Count
Won Buelow said he deeply regretted
the remarks of the last speaker, es-
pecially in view of the splendid well
come that Prince Henry was receiving
from the American people.
This remark of Count Won Buelow
was greeted with applause from all
sections of the house.
The Traditional Friendship.
Continuing, the imperial chancellor
said the journey of the Emperor's
brother had no political object save
the natural one of upholding the tradi
tional good relations between Prussia,
Germany and the United States, which
had existed since the days of the great
Frederick and the great Washington.
Both nations" said Count Won
BueloW, have every reason for mutual
esteem. They have no occasion what
ever to besmirch one another or dis
pute with one another. They have ev-
cry interest for living in peace and
friendship, based upon complete reel
prCcity. Even in the most remote flu
ture my eye perceiVes no point where
the political ways of the German
and American peoples cross. l am not
saying this for Germany alone, but
also for abroad. 1 am convinced that L
agree with the great majority of this
house when L recognize that the Ger
man people have viewed with lively
satisfaction the hospitable, chiyalroGs
and brilliant reception which the Amer
lean nation has accorded the brother OF
the German Emperor"
The imperial chancellor concluded his
remarks amid the applause of the
House.
Will Not Help the Beers.
Count Won Buelow also assured the
Reichstag, in a somewhat lengthy
speech, that there was not the slightest
likelihood or desirabilty of Germany
taking any steps to interfere in the
course of affairs in South Africa. Such
course, he said, was not in accord
with German interests and policy.

Gov Flores, of the province of Ri

recently captured Ampil, the president
of Cainta, Morong province, were nei-
Their ladrones nor insurgents. He

under torture and expecting death. AS
previously set forth~in these dispatches,
Amnil was an enthusiastic American
symDathiZer.

His offer has not yet been considered
favorably.

by RemOunt Report.
London, March "a parliamentary
paper was issued tonight, containing
dispatches and reports regarding the
re-mount department in South Africa.
It refers to the American mules as
being "the best received from any
source, magnificent workers and kept
in condition under the most adverse
circumstances.
The paper on the re-mount depart
ment in South Africa is considered the
strongest indictment of it's own inca
pacity yet issued by the war office, and
it viii go far to explain to the public
the reasons why the war has been so
unduly prolonged This paper shows
continual conflict throughout the war
between the generals at the fTont,
appealing for horses, and the officials
of the war office, who We're endeavor-
ing to limit the number of horses sent
out.
Lord Roberts repeatedly called for
more horses and was met with sugges-
lions from the war office that the sup
ply might be diminished.
The parliamentary paper then sets
forth complaints from the war Office
of the wastage of horses through the
inefTiciency of the remount depart
ment, and Mr.. Brodrick wired in No

Funston. who is in this city en- route
to Washington, where he goes to learn
if he is to return to the Philippines
when his furlough expires in April, had
a talk with Herald reporter and will
be quoted tomorrow as saying:
There is no more danger in the Phil
ippines than there is in Kentucky. AS
sassins Turk in the cane and shoot
down men who are at their mercy, but
there are no soldiers in the field to
battle, with the United States troops.
Even respectable guerilla warfare has
ceased.
There has been no fighting in any
of the Philippine provinces for nearly
six months. 1t has been said that /
have opposed the reduction of our
forces in the East. That is a mis-
take. In my opinion one-hah of our
troops might be brought home now
and at the end of a year one-half of
those remaining might be returned
AT the same time, too much latitude
should not be given to the natives of
the Philippines. They are not ready
for el-yovernment and they belong 10
that class of people who look upon
kindness as a show of weakness. If
we are to maintain peaSa in the islands
we must deal fairly. but somewhat
sternly with most of the natives for
a good many years. They have been
so long accustomed to the Spanish
methods of treachery that II will be
long before they will accept our prom
ises as we mean them"
