CUBAN RECIPROCITY
President Urges Congress to Adopt
Such a Course. ~,
is OUR DUTY 70 pa
The Presidents Acfien, II Il Stated,
Was Influenced BY Actual Duty
Of the United states Toward
the New Republic.

Washington. June n.--After talking
with a number OF the leaders in con-
gress regarding Cuban reciprocity.
President Roosevelt Friday detesmin-
81 to send a message to congress reaf-
hrming his attitude on the subject. The
president has earnestly considered the
matter for several days and It Is stat
ed that the action OF the antl-reclproc-
lty Republican senator's Thursday. in
deciding to hold out against the policy
advocated by the majority OF the par
ty. did not influence the president In
deciding 10 transmit his message to
congress.
The presidents action. II may be
stated from sources close 10 him. WIS
Influenced by the broad question Of the
duty OF the United States 10 Cuba aud
OF fairness TO the new republic II
has been pointed out to the president
that his warmest political support Is in
the section OF the country where there
Is the greatest opposition 20 reclproc-
fly. the west and northwest. and that
he should remain content with the
stand he had taken without accentuat-
ing his views In special message. II
Is known. however. that the president
did not hesitate to'arrive at the con-
clusion that he would not let his polIt-
ical prospects interfere with what he
regarded as MS plain duty. II Is further
known that he told his friends that II
was source Of great regret 10 him
to take a position hostile to the wishes
Of ais warmes; supporters but that he
felt IL would not be In keeping with
his own nature and his position OF
chief executive 10 longer remain silent
on this subject and thereby give an
opportunity for false speculation as to
HIS attitude.
The president was further led TO
conclude that the relations OF the Unit
ed States and Cuba must necessarily
grow closer and that the United States
should at the outset after It's declared
purpose toward the island, assume a
position contrary thereto and thus
arouse the suspicious OF the Cuban gov
eminent as to our real intentions to-
ward IT, II is alleged that the positive
declaration In his message Friday as
10 the duty OF congress probably will
end his active efforts to bring about
reciprocity.

stead filings. Five thousand seven
hundred and fifty is the total number
OF tracts OF land filed on In that dis
trict from the Kiowa- Comanche coun-

II would appear from the 5000 filings
that nearly all the original entrymen
relinquished. but this is incorrect, as
the majority OF original entrymen are
now on their claims. but in many
cases the same tract OF land has been
acted upon and relinguished several

Lawrence died in 1852 and
his remains rest in the Mount
Vernon vault near those of
George Washington. His will
provided that in the event Of
the death Of his child Sarah
without issue, to whom the es-
tate was bequeathed, it was to
his beloved brother George"
Sarah died soon after her fa-
ther and thus it was that
Mount Vernon became forever
associated with the illustrious
name Of George Washington.
George Washington be-
queathed the estate to his
nephew, Judge Bushrod
Washington, to take effect on
the death of Martha, George
Washington's wife, who died
May 81, 1902, in the room i'm

who died in 1882, leaving
Mount Vernon to his third
child, John "A. Washington,
who became of age in 1881 and

Spectators had repeatedly
tried to get hold Of the estate
prior to that, offering much
larger sums for it.

said to be mostly in the large cities.
The inquisitorial features we're
therefore regarded favorable by
the representatives of the farming
districts, and when a caucus of
some of the friends of the bill was
held that evening, and it was sug-
gested that the inqulsitorial fea.
lures better be eliminated there
was a bitter yell sent up from the
representative of the farming dis
tricts. This force was led bv Rep
resentatives jacobson, Larson, and
Haugland, but they were finally
out.voted, and while the former two
fought against the elimination of
these provisions on the floor Of the
house the next day, they were out
voted by those who preferred to see
a bill of some kind pass, assisted
by those who were opposed to any
bill. Mr.. Jacobson, himself, finally
voted for the amendments, but A
representative stood pat with Mr..
Larson for the retention of these
features. The contention is that a
bill taxing public service corpora
tions and providing for a tax COM
mission that will bring the mining
districts of the,iron range country
into paying "a 'tax. will be better
than no bill at all. This was rec
ognized by the men who voted
against cutting out the inquisitorial
sections, but they proposed to keep
the latter in. the bull. if their votes
could keep'them there, and their
votes are all right on the journal
and before their people. When
these sections were stricken out
Mr.. jacobson secured an amend
ment giving sCcounty auditors the
right to increase'personal property
valuation of an Individual to the ex-
tent of 50!perscent., if the latter has
sufficient evidence to satisfy him
that the individual has listed the
property below its true valuation.
]. A. Peterson.of Hennepin coun-
ty, regarded as the most powerful
debater in the house, and who is
generally admitted as being cham
pion of the people. commenced a
general openingispeech in favor of
the bill on the morning of Feb. 10Th,
which he was obliged to cut short
by reason of being taken suddenly
ill. From so much of the speech as
was delivered there was no room
left for doubt but what Mr.. Peter
son had been studying the tax ques-
tion for many days before he de-
livered it. Every point made scored
for the bill, even when he approved
that portion of it which makes it.
incumbent upon the county treas
urer to collect the delinq per-
sonal property tax. saving that the
law on this subject as it now stands.
should be entitled a bill for secur-
ing larger bill for sheriff. He
stated boldly that but very few
