the session today, beginning nj noon
and concluding at 3:15 p. m. The en-
tire time was consumed in debating a
motion to refer the Cuban reciprocity
bill to the committee on foreign rela-
tions. The political line was sharply
drawn In the discussion, the republic
ans advocating such reference and the
democrats contending that the meas
ure should go to the committee on
finance. The motion prevailed with
out division.
The debate served to bring out some
incidental references to the merits of
the bill. Mr.. Teller took occasion to
correct published reports that he has
hope of defeating the bill or that he
intends unduly to obstruct its consid-
Grafton.
Messrs. Allison and Aldrich an
nounced their willingness to have the
bill 60 to the foreign relations CON-
mittee, but they united in an express
sion of opinion that such reference
should form no precedent for the refer
ence of revenue bills in the future. Mr..
Allison also denied that there was any
purpose Of revising the tariff by reel
procity treaties. -.
After the disposition of the routine
business, the Cuban bill was taken up
and q debate ensued on its reference
to the committee.
Mr.. Cullom stated that IL had been
the custom to refer such bills % the
committee on foreign relations.
Mr.. Bailey said he had no doubt the
statement was correct, but declared
that the practice was wrong. He said
1t should be referred to the committee
on finance or relations with Cuba.
MIR. Teller thought that the bill
should go to the committee on finances.
He announced his intention to oppose
the bill. but said he would not carry
his opposition to the extent of seeking
delay.
Continuing, Mr.. Teller charged that
the legislation is in the interest of
great financial interests and taking
this fact into consideration in connec-
ton with the fact that the measure
has the support of the chief executive
he knew there was little hope of Sc
curing the defeat Of the bill. He based
his opposition to the bill on the ground
that its enactment into law would be
a great injury to h beet sugar in
terests.

The inquiry of the senate committee
on military affairs into the opposition
to the confirmation Of the nomination
Of Gen. Leonard Wood to be major
general in the army vas begun today,
and the hearing, SO far as 1t has gone,
was behind closed doors. Before clos
ing the doors there were exchanges OF
opinion concerning the propriety OF
making the proceedings public. The
point was raised by Senator Quarles
and several other members of the COM
mittee. sustained by all OF them taking
the position that as all of the business
was executive in character the commit
tee had no right to make it public
without first securing an order from
the senate.
Senator Scott made a plea for open
sessions during the hearing.
at will all be in the evening per-
haps, anyway" he said, land | think
1t better to have an authorized report
than try to hide the proceedings"
Other senators replied that they had
no objection to publicity, but contend
ed that the committee could o itself
assume authority for the open doors
10 the press.
Senators Teller and Hanna and Maj.
Estes G. Rathbone were present. the
last three named being prepared to
present objections to General Woods
confirmation. 1t was stated that no
charges had been filed against the gem
eral, but Senator Proctor. who pre-
sided. said he understood Major Rath-
bone would present such charges.
1t has been determined that the ses-
sions Of the committee will not be
public.
A THE session Of the committee to-
day Senator Teller said he objected to
General Wood because Of the injus-
tice that was being done to the army
by his promotion.
Senator Hanna said that the action
Of General Wood In the Rathbone case
was of a character to show his unfit
ness for high command.
