He said he refused to ac- cept the theory that the American sugar producing industry would be injured by adopting the reciprocal relations pro- posed by the treaty, and he contended that the only advantage Cuba would have over the United States in the pro- duction of sugar would be found in the fact that the Cuban soil is somewhat better adapted to that industry than is ours.
 On the conclusion of MT. Simmons speech voting began. The committee on foreign relations announced through Senator Cullom, it's chairman, the ac- eeptance of two amendments in addi- tion- to those already recommended by the committee. The first of these was the amendment increasing the rate of reduction on flour, cornmeal and corn imported into Cuba from the United States. Senator Nelson spoke yesterday in support of an amendment along these lines. and Senator Burton prepared the amendment. AS offered it provided for reduction of 40 per cent, but the com. mittee modified the amendment so as to provide for reduction of 30 per cent.
 The other amendment adopted by the committee was suggested by Senator Bacon and fixed a uniform \reduction of 30 per cent on American cotton goods imported into Cuba. The only aye and no vote taken on the committee amend ments was lon the amendment adopted some time ago by the committee at the instance of the beet sugar republican senators, providing against a further treaty reduction of the duty on sugar imported into the United States for the next five years, or while the treaty re- mains in force. A division was called for on this amendment, and it was sustained by a majority of twenty-two votes, the vote being forty-four for the amendment and twenty-two against it, the negative votes being cast by demo- crats. The other committee amend ments, including those accepted today and the amendment making the ap- proval of the entire congress necessary to render the treaty effective, then were adopted.
 After the committee amendments had been accepted the democrats offered a number of amendments, but they were all voted down by a strict party vote.

THE LAST NIGHT
 WAS uHEYEkTFUL
Disappointment to Spectators Who
 Went Home Early.

The council did practically no busi- ness during the first hour, but stood at recess while the committee on ways and means considered the general ap- propriation bill which had been receiv- ed from the house when the council convened. At 9:10 the committee re- ported the bill, and the council went into committee of the whole for the consideration Of the bill by sections, with Judge kibbey in the chair.
 The first amendment was to add S45S to the item providing for the salary oi the territorial treasurer for the ensu- ing two years, to make the total s 43S. thus making the treasurer's increased salary-whici hereafter will be 8 5G0 a year instead of $1,000-begin on the 18th of this month. The amendment was foffered by MT. Ives. and was adopted unanimously.
 At this point the committee rose to receive a message from the governor. The message was the nomination of Dr. R. M. DodswOrth to be superintendent Of public health, and the nomination was promptly confirmed.
 Consideration of the appropriation bill was resumed, and an amendment e1o iNiCt'ltb lO Day Sl seiisiIy tL Sotu sli- nually to the assistant territorial li- brarian. This was to conform to new law which makes the secretary of the territory the assistant librarian.

HAD A MAJORITY
 BUT NEEDED TIME

House bill 15O, which authorized the supervisors in counties of the first class to employ deputies in certain county offices was taken up and the adverse report of the committee was rejected. Judge Kibbey- made a speech advocating the bill. MT. Packard op posed it. On roll call the council ordered the bill to Q third reading. The chair stated that the bill could not nave a third reading without a suspension of the rules, which required a two thirds vote-t!.e rules requiring the measure to lay over for one day. MT: Ashurst raised the point that the bill had been read the second time before
 it's reference to the committee, but the chair insisted that the second reading was not completed until the final ques- ton was reached, Shall the bill have q third raading?" Judge kibbey con- tended that this was an absurdity. This bill, he contended. had been read a second time, and although still ''on sec on reading technically. il had been read the second time on the day be- fore. when it was referred. It was an interesting situation. The bill had a ma jority Of the council, it was clear, hut rot a two-thirds ma jority, and tfc fate of the bill depended upon whether the chair was sustained Tn his position that the bill must SC over one more day in the absence of a suspension of the rule. Judge Kibiaey appealed from the decision of the chair, but MT. Whiteside appealed ic him to consent to a recess for 70 minutes, assuring him that the differences over the bill ''could be fixed up.' The recess was taken at 11:15, and the sergeant-at-arms took advantage of the situation to stop the clock.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
 FAILED AT LAST
Governor Based Veto of Bill or Con
 stitutional Grounds.

The equal suffra gists of Arizona were doomed to bitter disappointment in the closing hour of the session. The thing which they had pursued almost hopelessly for ten years was almost within their grasp. It had seemed to them that if the suffrage bill could once be gotten through the hostile houses it would be safe. Its passage was somewhat unexpected but it was passed, and it was quite generally be- ieved that it would be signed. The only obstacle in the way was in getting it into the hands of the governor. There was a great deal of uneasfness all day yesterday among the friends of the bill who feared that an attempt would be made to keep it out of the hands of the executive. It was transmitted lat in the afternoon along with a lot of other bills and it became certain that its fate would be made known some, time in the course of the night
 A few minutes after the house was called to order in the evening session a message was received from the gov ernor returning the woman suffrage bill without his approval. There was a breathless stiffness while the message was being read. Upon the conclusion of the reading MT. St. Charles said: Mir. Speaker. I move that the apology of the governor be accepted. It is nothing more than an apology
 The motion was declared out of order Speaker Powers stated that the ques- tion before the house was, Shall the bill pass. the governors veto notwith- standing?" MT. Rowe was recognized and he made a speech highly eulogistic of the governor. There was a tremen- dous applause from the men in the gal leries at the conclusion of MT. Rowe's speech.
 Mir St. Charles said that it was an extraordinary proposition to his mind that the only bill passed by this legis 1ature which the governor could find unconstitutional was the bill enfran chising women. He admitted that the executive had a right to his opinion. ''But,' he added, "a two-thirds ma jority of this house has declared for the bill. It is our duty now to stand by our position. For ten years the women

BRIDGE COMPANY
 BREAKING STRIKE
Importing Men Into Pittsburg to Re-
 sume Operations.

Pittsburg, Pa. March 19-A deter mined effort is to be made by the Am erican Bridge company to break the strike of structural iron workers in this city, by importing non-union men. Last Monday forty men were brought from Louisville but the men deserted immediately upon reaching Pittsburg. Last night forty-seven men were brought into the city from Norfolk, Va, and 150 men, it is said, have been engaged and are on their way here. The men who arrived last night were placed on large house boat which is tied up in the Monongahela river at the company's plant. The boat has been fitted up with hunks. dining room and kitchen and it is proposed to house and board the men on the boat until the strike is broken.
 The men are to be used in complet- ing the work on the new Wabash railroad bridge across the Mononga- hela river.
 A squad of policemen are guarding the nOnunion men but everything is quiet, no move having been made by the strikers to interfere with the new corners.

DOCTOR LEARNED
The Power of Pure Food

Sometimes a physician who has eX- hausted medical skill on his own case finds that he has to look to pure food to cure him by it's simple and homely yet natural and scientific principles.
 A well-known physician and surgeon of Crowley. La, has spent d great many years in his profession. "The services of my life time" he says. have been to try to better mankind :, to help them preserve health when in possession of it and to help them to re- gain it when lost. Si it is with great pleasure I recall my first inUoduction to Grape-Nuts l had never inyestI- gater the food until l came to use it in my own case. I had suffered all that a man can suffer from dyspepsia, had tried to heal myself and had had the services of many other prominen: physicians. Then l clutched at Grape Nuts as drowning man clutches at a straw, and to my great astonishmens and qualification I found that I had discovered something besides a broken reed to lean upon, for the food began to recuperate me immediately and i: has now entirely cured me to such an extent that I have returned to my ol l habit of eating everything that I de- sire and can do so without distress And I have not only found a gooj friend in sickness but most delicious dish as well. It is the most nutritious article of diet 1 have ever found and notice it's splendid effects more particu, larly at night time, for a saucer ot Grape Nuts and milk is always followe1 by most refreshing sleep and perfec, awakening. My only regret is that was so slow to look into the scientific merits of this wonderful food" Name furnished by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek Mich.

Washington, March 19.-After raitfy- ing the Cuban reciprocity treaty the senate adjourned sine die today at fif- teen minutes past o'clock. Practical ly the entire day was spent behind closed doors in executive session. Most of the time was devoted to the consider ation of the Cuban treaty. Several speeches were made in opposition to the treaty and in favor of it, and then, promptly at the agreed hour, o'clock, voting commenced. Roll calls were had on a number of amendments, and the treaty itself was made the subject of an aye and no vote.
 The motion to ratify was adopted by ballot of fifty to sixteen, somewhat more than a three-fourts vote, whereas only a two-thirds vote was necessary to secure ratification. Immediately after the doors were closed, a few min utes past Il o'clock, Senator Foster of Louisiana took the floor in order to make a set speech in opposition to the treaty. He spoke for about two and d half hours. His address had been pre- pared carefully, and on it's conclusion Mr. Foster very generally was com plimented on the manner of his presen- tation of the opposition view of the treaty.
 In the main his speech was an appeal for the protection of the American sugar producing industry. He spoke especially for the cane sgar interests of Louisiana, but said that while the sugar interest was of paramount importance in his own state on account of the cane produced there, the beet sugar industry has grown to such proportions that many other portions of the union also were coming to have very pronounced interest in the making of sugar. He drew a graphic picture of present con- ditions in Louisiana, and said that if the treaty should be ratified the result was liable to be very disastrous to many of his constituents. MT. Foster also made the point that there was nothing to prevent the introduction of Chinese coolie labor into Cuba, and said that if such labor should be in- troduced American labor could not compete with it.
 Other speeches in opposition to the and Carmack and Senator Simmons Ol 4<OI LII SdlOllld SpOhc SuppOit Oi it. Senator Berry based his opposition to the agreement on the amendment offered by the committee on foreign relations providing against any further reduction by treaty of the duty on sugar while the treaty remains in force. MT. Carmack opposed the treaty on general principles, declaring that it was contrary to our theory of government. Senator Simmons was the only demo- crat who made speech in advocacy of the ratification of the treaty.
 He replied at some length to the speech of Foster, declaring for the treaty as a means of promoting friend ly relations between the United States and Cuba. He said that he spoke for the United States and not for Cuba. declaring that he did not accept the theory that the United States is under any obligations to Cuba, saying he thought that we had done all for the Cubans that any one nation could be expected to do for another. But he be- Ieved that with the ratification of this treaty Cuba'S prosperity would be ma terally enhanced, and that on account of the improved feeling on the part of

passed temporarily, and the reading of the bill proceeded, it being understood that all items were adopted unless ob- jection was raised.
 After a large number of items had been passed without objection, on sug- gestion of MT. Rice the committee of the whole went back to the considera- tion of the subdivision providing for the payment O; S36 to all the papers outside Of Phoenix for copies furnished members during the session. He offer ed a substitute which provided for pay ment only to the papers with which his committee had contracted for sub scriptionS. The effect of this was to cut off some fifteen or twenty rural papers from the favored list. The amendment was adopted, and the com mittee took a recess for twenty min utes. The committee rose after the re- cess, and or motion of Judge Kibbey the committee of the whole was dis charged from further consideration of the appropriation bill. and it was plac- ed on the order of second reading MT. Ives offered an amendment paying S150 to Dunbar Bros. for job printing, and another paying SIP to Miss Trott for rent of typewriter. The council adopt cd the amendments made in commit tee of the whole, already mentioned. It was aScertained that the house had failed to provide az appropriation for the salary of the adjutant general, and an amendment was adopted providing $500 per year. The bill was then ord cred to third reading

MODERN J0SHUkS
 HOTLY REBUKED
Secretary Stoddard Would Have No
 Pooling With the Clock.

A sensational incident occurred dur ing the recess. Secretary Stoddard
 :ound that the clock had been stopped, and went to the sergeant-at-a arms and demanded that the clock be started up. The sergeant-at-armS asked for instructions from President Ives, and
 Mi. Ives told him to leave the clock alone. Mir. Stoddard then sent one of the colnred employees of the capital building into the council chamber, with a ladder. The colored man was ascend ing the rostrum Of the president when Mir. Ives rVshed into the chamber from his room, took his place and with savage whacl of the gavel called the council to order. He then directed the ergeant-at-arms to arrest the coloTed man, which was done, and the offender was removed from the room.
 The council then killed the supervis- or bill. and also the bill for bridge across the Gila river in Pinal county.
 The aprropriat ton bill was then plac- ed on third reading. and after the ad iutant generals salary had been fixed at $6G0 a year, the bill was passed and sent to the house.
 Mr. Ives took advantage of the luil in the proceedings to call MT. Morehead
 to the chair. and made another appeal fo. tha passage O. the "Bucly" O'Neill nonurent bill. He paid an earnest
 tribute to the memory of O'Neill, and said if he had wounded the feelings of
 the majority Wednesday night, he apoiogized. At the conclusion of his
 remarks a vote was taken and result ed: Ayes.,Ashurst, Bulson, Moore head Whiteside and Ives-5 noes Childs. Corbett, Jarvis. Kibbey, Pack ard and Woods. So the monument bill was finally killed. At 11:45. actual time the council took a recess to await the action of the house on the appro- priation bill as amended by the cou,.-
 cil.
 1 The house refused to concur in the counci! amendments to the appropria- tion bill and appointed as members of ! the conference committee on it's side, i Messrs. Webb, Whitcside and WoOlf. | The council members of the commit
 tee were Messrs. Whiteside, BUrs0n 1 ana Childs- Another recess or twenty
 minutes was taken a little after mid- 1 night. The point in dispute between
 the two houses was mainly the elinin-
 alton from the bill of the provision for the rural newspapers. The latest mes
 sage from the governor announced his
 signature Of the medical bill concern | ing which there had been some doubt. | (Continued on Third Page)

 Mir. Rowe moved the previous ques- tion. The roll call was begun and pro : ceeded until Mir Webb's name was reached. MT. Webb began to explain his vote, and said that he did not think a member Of the house would doubt his sincere support of the question, but at this juncture MT. Rowe raised a point of order that debate was out of order. The point was overruled and MT. Webb proceeded: My sincerity on this floor has been questioned on some ques- tions but not on this.'' He was inter rupted by MT. Rowe again with a point of order, and he was so insistent that the speaker threatened him that he would be suppressed by the sergeant at-arins if he did not subside
