taken a posIuve sIand against reduc-
ton. because of the feeling that the
president should leave congress to
deal with the subject in its present
stage.
Senator DIETRICH was among the
most outspoken of the beet sugar men,
and he made an unsuccessful effort TO
secure the attention of the chair after
the reading of the message. Those who
are In his confidence say it was his
purpose to move for the discharge of
the committee from the further con-
sideration of the house bill. in order
to permit the immediate consideration
of that measure. There is still more
or less canvassing of the wisdom of
holding a Republican caucus, and It
is probable that ultimately one will
be held. but no date is now mentioned.
Senate and House I'm Brief
Washington June 1.-THE senate
yesterday recOnsidered the vote send
ing the Miss Taylor case to a commit
tee, and the matter was made subject
to the call OF Carmack. Tillman ad-
yoeated metal mail boxes for rural de-
livery routes, an executive session was
held, and the CroZier case discussed
without action. and then in open ses-
sion the presidents message on Cuban
reciprocity was read. Another eXecu-
tive session was then held
The house passed the irrigation bill
by vote of 146 TO %. Many amend
ments were offered. but only one eX-
ctspt those offered by the committee
was adopted. 1t was of a minor char

Washington, June IA. = President
Roosevelt played his last card in his
fight for Cuban reciprocity yesterday
when he sent message to congress
urging the passage of the measure
which he has supported from the start.
The president returned from West
Point to find the opposition in high
spirits. The friends of reciprocity in
the senate, where the fight is now een-
tered, We're in the dumps-thOugh not
ready to admit they were whipped
for the Insurgents had mustered
thirteen Republicans against the adj
ministration plan. 1t looked black for
Cuban reciprOcity.
.'Insurgents" Express Their Regret.
Some of the Insurgents were at
the White House. and expressed regret
that the president had seen fit to push
the matter so strefuously. They say
they cannot retreat. and If the presi-
dent thinks they are outside the party
breastworks in pcrsisting in their
course, they can't help 1t. They point
to the fact that the house members
from Michigan who fought Cuban rec
iprocity have been indorsed by their
constituents. How, then, they ask.
can they back water at this time? The
administration senators shut their
teeth and say the straight reciprocity
must win, but the consensus OF opinion
is that nothing at all will be done this
session.
Salient Points of the Message.
The message calls attention to what
the president said in his message of
December last on the subject of reci-
procity with-Guba. and declares that
message merely gives practical eff
feet to McKinley's words. which he
also quotes. He tells congress that
Yesterday, June u, l received by
cable from the American minister in
Cuba a most earnest appeal from
President Palma for Legislative relief,
before it is too late and my [thisl
country financially ruined" He says
that reciprocity with Cuba stands en-
tireIy alone, and the reasons for grant
ing it far outweigh those in favor of
any other nation.
VIII Not InJure Any Industry.
He declares that such reciprocity
will not injure any United States in
dustry. He says: Cuba is an indie
pendent republic, but republic which
has assumed certain special obligations
as regards her international position
in compliance with our request. i ask
for her certain special economic con-
ceSSlonS In return; these economic con-
cesSiOns to benefit us as well as her.
We are a wealthy and powerful ma
ton; Cuba is a young republic. still
weak. who owes to us her birth. whose
whole future, whose very life, must
depend on our attitude toward her /
ask that we help her as she struggles
upward along tine painful and diff
cult road of self-gOverning indepen-
dence / ask this for her because she
is weak. because she needs IL, because
we have already aided her."

Washington, June 14.-When the
