reciprocity between Cuba and the Unit
ed States amended by the senate Of the
United States was approved at 8

which it was positively declared hat
President Roosevelt would not call a
special session of congress prior to

surance was transmitted to the SEN

the beginning of the session., an agree
ment having been reached previously
with Senators B~ustamente, Capote and
Dolz. composing the majority of the
foreign relations committee, hat the
Objectionable condition in the report be
eliminated.

senators substituting the unconditional
adoption Of the amendments to the
treaty by the American senate for the
qualified acceptance contained in the
original report.

HOUSE HAS SPIRITED DEBATE

seal.

LINCOLN. Jan. 29.-(special.)-H. r. is.
by Douglas OF Rock, to entitle county
treasurers to maintain official seals that
would enable them to validate tax titles
occasioned a heated and protracted deba-e.
The bill having been referred to the ju-
dietary committee. was by a majority rec
commended to pass and for indefinite post
ponement by the minority.
The argument Of the majority was that
Il was necessary as a means Of enabling
the collection Of taxes which otherwise
could not be collected; that it would give
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der and had been required and demanded
for many years. One member, Goats OF
Holt, stated that in his county over $780,
900 OF back taxes we're uncol.ectable for
want Of what this bill provided.
The minority commended that tho validity
Of tax deeds by county tressuTers was not
only not essential to the full collection OF
taxes. but would work a serious hardship
upon the widow and other small property
owners; that under existing laws the prop
erty Of this class was secure from the
tax sharks" but would be subjected TO
their selfish grasp IL this bill passed.

OPPOSES SHIP SUBSIDIES
Observation-Disclosures Line OmciaI says
Bounties on work
Harm 60 All.

BERLIN, Jan. 29.-Herr Ballin, director
general Of the neutrality-suspicious. line, in
an Interview with the editor Of the Tageblatt
published today. said the German com
panies regretted the British government
had subsidized the Cunard line. They did
not fear competition, but held IL was a bad
example for other countries. as II one coun-
try should subsidize lines, others might
do likewise until finally all subsidies would
have to be abolished by an international
agreement similar TO the Brussels sugar
convention. He thought the Cunard lines
new large subsidized steamers were too ex-
pensive to be run at a profit, owing to their
enormous consumption Of coal.
The British government, Herr Balm as
serted, was really making a present Of
new steamers to the Cunard, as it found
the capital for building them and subsi-
died the vessels sufficiently to cover the
interest and the organization Of the new
capital.
Frances experience, he further remarked,
showed the deadening effects of state sub
sides. He would try to prevent the Ger
man government from initiating Great
Britain's lead. Means OF transportation
created at considerable expense were al
ways failures when commerce did not ex-
list. German lines we're successful because
German merchants had the courage to
carry American products and thereby
gained return freight. Denmark had Gre
ated a splendid free port at Copenhagen
and the Hamburg American line had been
induced by Danish friends to establish a
line between the United States gulf ports
and Copenhagen, but the freight was not
there. The only regular commodity Of
fered was oil cake for cattle feed, but
not in sufficient quantity to maintain the
line. Hungary was trying to create d.
rect communication between Fiume and
New York, partly by force, for Austrian
Hungarian emigrants would be compelled
to use 10 line. The Hamburg-American
and North German Lloyd companies at the
request of the Hungarian government sent
a committee to Hungary a year ego to in
vestigate the possibilities Of a direct New
York line, but it was decided that il
could not be made profitable because the
freight was not sufficient and passengers
will not take sixteen to eighteen days over
a journey which could be made in half the
time.

Though SIN DemSnd
Practice Elsewhere.

phia & Reading. the last Of the large coal
companies, presented its case to the strike
commission today.
At the afternoon session II was an
nounced that the mine workers and the
aReading officials had agreed that the weigh
ing Of coal in the southern fields was i'm
practicable, thus settling so far as that
field was concerned, one of the principal
points i'm dispute, but It is still a bone Of
contention in the middle and upper regions.
Company Ensures Living Wage.

form all the communication which have
passed between the mine workers, their
organizers and the coal operators.
The first witness was John Veith OF Pots
vile, general mining superintendent Of the
company. Under examination he gave in
detail a technical description OF the vary
ing conditions OF the mines.
II a miner was unable to earn living
wages, he said, it was the rule OF the com
pany to give him an allowance.

stores or employ company doctors, neither
had IL u docking system.

Attorney Wolverton, for the Reading, said
that at a conference held during the noon
recess between John Veith and G. W. Hart
ley, secretary Of district No. 9 OF the min
ers' union, It was agreed that the weigh
ing Of coal in the Ninth district, which
takes in all the southern coal fields, wa'
impracticable because of the pitching veins
Most Of the coal mined in that region was
paid for by the yard.
John Mcguire Of Pottsville, a division
superintendent for the Reading company
said an eight-hour workday would hav'
the effect Of reducing the output.
Witness said the company always go
along with its employees until men whC
never saw the inside Of an anthracite min'
| came between them.
When asked whom he referred to, h
named Messrs. Mitchell and Fahey, but
could not give one ins.ance where trouble
resulted through Mr.. Mitchell or Mr.. Fa'
hey coming between the company and thu
men, except the general strikes Of 1900 and
