BURTON AND CUBA.
Kansas Senator Tells Why He OPP
' poses Reciprocity.
ehinks the United States Has Done Enough
for the Island ut This Time and That
the Beet Sugar Industry Needs
Protection.

Washington, June 21.-The repub-
hcan senators held another confer
ence yesterday on the question OF
Cuban reciprocity and after three
hours discussion adjourned, sub
ject to the call of Chairman Allison,
without action. Almost all the re-
publican senators who are In the city
were present.
The meeting had almost concluded
when Senator Burton, of Kansas,
took the floor to make a brief but
impassioned and eloquent speech In
support and defense of the attitude
of the beet sugar republicans. He
took as his text certain remarks
which had been made by Senator
Plat, of Connecticut, at the Wednes-
day evening meeting and by Senator
Foraker at yesterdays meeting. He
spoke especially with reference to
an intimation that the beet sugar
senator's were not loyal to the party.
He said that the press OF the coun-
try had presented only one side OF
the question. His side, he said, stood
for the support of the most prom
ising, as it was one of the most de-
serving of infant industries. The
beet sugar interest was coming to
the front with rapidity and prom
Use to the future such as had marked
the history of few interests in this
country and he urged that this In
terest should have the same protect
ing care that the republican party
had given to other struggling indus
tries. He said that it was not true
that the beet sugar men were not
willing to extend helping hand to
the people of Cuba if they needed
help, but he contended that there
was no need for assistance to the
people of that island at this time.
Nor did he believe that IL the con-
templated legislation should be en-
acted the Cubans would secure the
benefit. Senator Burton said SEN
ator Platt, of Connecticut, in defend
ing the committees action in strik-
ing out the house provision for the
extension of our labor laws to Cuba
had said that Cuban labor is as well
paid as farm labor in Kansas or any
part of the United States. Senator
Burton said that If this were true
the Cuban laborer certainly was not
in need of aims from the people OF
the United States. He also urged
that If the plantation owners were
able to pay Kansas prices they could
not be in desperate straits, as had
been represented. Nor, he added,
could it be said that the Cuban gov
eminent was in position to ask as
sistance from anyone, for when Gov.
Wood surrendered the reins OF gov
eminent at Havana there were $780,
900 in the Cuban treasury and the
government had an assured annual
income of $17,000,o00. His conclusion
was that as neither the government,
the planters nor the Cuban laborers
had any need of the proposed as
sistance 1t was unfair and unjust
to ask the farmers of this country
to sacrifice their own interests for
the purpose of granting an annuity
of $5,00O,OOO or $6,0OO,00O.

The Progress of Cotton Seed.

Minneapolis Times.
1t was only a little while ago
that cotton seed was considered
of no value. The present cotton
seed industry, therefore, is all
the more remarkable in it's
growth and extent. An old law
Of Mississippi of 1857 required
all cotton seed to be removed or
destroyed under penalty, while
the throwing of cotton seed into
a creek or stream was punish
able by $500 fine. Thirteen years
after this law was passed the
census of 1870 reported 26 cot
ton seed Oil mills. In 1880 the
mum ber increased to 45. In 1890
to 119: while in 1900 there were
357. Prior to the 1900 census.
however, all establishments en-
gagged in refining cotton seed Oil
were counted. The 1900 census
only gives those works that ex-
tract the Oil: fact which would
alter the statistics as to increase.
Years ago we exported almost
all our Oil to foreign countries,
but by 1890 the commercial
value of the oil for domestic pur-
poses was well settled, and now
about One-half of the product is
used for home consumption.
The total value of all cotton seed
products, Oil, Oil cake and meal,
hulls and linters, was S42, All, ,S35,
which was certainly worth saving
instead Of floating down stream
to the Gulf or the Atlantic

Washington, Jan. 2s.-President
Roosevelt viii use every influence in
his power to urge the passage of an
isthmian canal bill through congress
this session. He is making it known
to senators and representatives that
his position on that point is fixed and
unalterable. He is not committed
either to the Panama or Nicaragua
project bat is convinced that caac of
the two routes should be selected, and
the canal commenced without delay.
lie is not averse to congress taking
under reconsideration the Panama route,
but is unwilling that the Panama prop
osition shall be used as a means Of
preventing action. The president is
making clear that he will not be a
party to any movement looking to de-
feat of action on a canal bill. To put
the proposition frankly President
Roosevelt does not intend that the
republican party shall become the vic
I tim of the interests of the transcnn-
tinental railways that are opposed to
canal. He realizes that disappoint-
ment of the clearly expressed wish Of
the American people for this great
national project would probably be
/ Expressed in the loss Of the house in
the congressional elections next No
yember. These ideas have been com-
munieated to senators and represent
atives within the last few days in his
usual straightforward manner 1t is
confidently predicted that the result
