Vigorous Talk on Cuban Re-

Let Republicans Opposing Trusts Vote to Re-
move Differenta Tariff on Sugar. J.
Wiley Attacks Simmons.
Especial to News and Observer)

Washington, D. c., April 17.-Repre-
sentative w. w. Kitchin, in the course
Of forty minute speech on the Cuban
Reciprocity Bill, declared that when the
amendment is offered to remove the diff
ferential tariff on refined sugar, every
Republican who is against trusts, If there
be any. should vote with the Democrats
III favor of it, He said that the bill
1t is not such a bill as any Democratic
committee would offer. He contended
that Congress ought to forthwith repeal
the tariff upon those articles made and
controlled by trusts, and which by the
trusts are sold cheaper to the inhabi-
tants of Russia and Brazil than to our
own people. He advocated lower tariff
for all sugar so the consumers can get
it cheaper. The sugar grower of
Louisiana and the beet sugar grower of
Michigan who, under the protective
tariff sell their raw sugar for $40 per
hundred, ought not to oppose this bill,
which will enable the struggling Cuban,
just emerging from the desolation of
war to sell his sugar at $3.50 a hundred,
when the testimony shows that other
wise he cannot get actual cost for it.
So long as we hold control over Cuba,
we should consider the good of her peo-
pie in our legislation. Mr.. Kitchin did
not want any other or further race
problem on our hands. He opposed the

NO CHANGES TO BE MADE
And There Will be no Cornering OF

THIS MUCH IS GWEN TO THE PUBLIC
The Terms of the Agreement Were Settled Yes
terday by Representatives of Interests
involved, But Retic5nce as to
Details Was Observed
(By the Associated Pregs.)

New York, April 1.-THE following
authoritative statement respecting the
Louisville and Nashville situation was
made today by member of the firm of
j. P. Morgan & Co.:
1.-The public as We'll as the speculative
community should bear in mind these
three things:
81. There will be no corner
''2. There will he no contest fer con-
troll.
SO. ]. P. Morgan absolutely controls
Louisville and Nashville.
"The rst is assured by Mr.. Gates and
the manner in which he has disposed of
his stock. Mr. Belmont's statements
arc assurances as to the second and j.
P. Morgan s, Co. are sponsors for the

Further, the Louisville and Nash

it has in the past and there will be no
Change.
81. P Morgan & Co. say positively
that the present status of the road re-
mains as it has been heretofore except
that J. p. Morgan controls and Directs
absolutely and without publication.
''IICse who intimate that Mr.. Gates
might possibly make trouble in the fu-
ture, or that is in any position to do
so, are much mistaken. The only one
to be reckoned with in the management
of the Louisville and Nashville is Mr..
Morgan. If that fact is borne in mind
there will be no misunderstanding and
no need of guessing. The situation is
controlled by him ana that should be
sufficient guarantee to everybody"
Charles w. Gates, son of John w.
Gates, made several trips to the office
of j. P. Morgan & CO. during the morn
ing and conferred with Mr. Perkins.
Francis Lynde Stetson, Mr.. MCrgan's
attorney, was closeted with other repre-
septatives of the rm and it was reported
that all the essential details of the
agreement between Messrs. Belmont
and Gates had been completed.
Mr.. Belmont had nothing to say for
publication. As foreshadoWed yesterday
