Mr.. Bell, Democrat, of California, fol-
lowed in opposition to the bill saying the
farmers of his state wanted the senate
measure of protection now afforded
them and he understood the beet sugar
growers needed the protection. He said
the Republicans who feel so certain that
California will be in the sure Republic

Mr.. Garden, Republican of Michigan,
explained why he had changed his views
and now favors the passage of the bill
In the first place, conditions had chang
ed in the last two years. He said the
president of the beet sugar plant in his
district favored the bill.
Mr.. Burgess, Democrat of Texas, char
acterized the bill as an outrage, reading
an extract from the article written by
Thomas Reed. Mr.. Burgess said:
This simply means, stripped of all YER
biage and the bare facts stated, that $2O,-
Geo was appropriated from the Cuban
FUNDS on vouchers issued by Leonard
Wood, indorsed by the war department
of this administration. reciting on their
faces that they were for the purpose of
influencing public opinion in the United
States in favor of this BILL
He continued:
But to pursue the dirty and surrepti-
tious merits (the facts concerning which
had to be dragged out of ThurDer' s
throat in a senate committee) is disgrace
ful and ruinous tC any administration
under the sun. No wonder postoffice
thievery obtains in the land when such
acts as that can be VIGOROUSLY done in
open sunlight and nobody comments up
on such political thievery."

Corbett Not to Meet Fitz

New York, Nov. 19.-Jim Corbett, who
is in town, says that he has decided not
to fight Bob Fitzsimmons next May.
Corbett is prepared to tackle the auburn
haired Cornishman, but declares that he
cannot do so before next October. In
giving his reason the ex-chamnion said:
Il have made contracts for theatrical
engagements way into the summer of
1904. These were signed long before my
battle with Jim Jeffries and before 1
ever thought of meeting Bob Fitzsim-
mons again. To break them would in
volve me in a number of lawsuits, and
cost me more than I could earn By
whipping Fitzsimmons. OF course, some
folks may regard this as bluff-thaI 1
just say this to wriggle out of the
match. But it is the gospel truth.
4 would like to fight Fitzsimmons
again sometime. even for the sake of
proving to the public that his victory
over me at Carson City in 1897 was in
the nature of a fiuke.

BEET SUGAR MEN HEARD
Opposition to Cuban Bill Has an
Inning.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The opposition
80 the Cuban bill was heard in the
house yesterday afternoon in vigorous
speeches The features of the day were
the speech of Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio,
who opened the discussion in advocacy
of the bill, and Of Mr.. Fordney (Rep)
of Michigan, who spoke in opposition.
Among others who spoke in opposition
to the bill were Messrs. Shafrotn, Colo
RADIO, and Bell of California, Democrats.
Mr.. Loud of Michigan, speaking in
Opposition to the bill, said the adoption
OF the Cuban measure would 1eODarulze
the home sugar industry; would retard
and impede the growth of that industry
and lessen the revenues by 100000 900.
As a business proposition he said IN
reasonable chances were being taken to
secure a net result of few millions.
Mr.. McMoran (Rep.) of Michigan, who
also opposed the bill, said the Republi-
cans had Joined hands with the Demo-
Gratis to pass this bill, which he char
acterized as a free trade measure
tariff for revenue only.
Mr.. Fordney (Rep) of Michigan Wig
ofously opposed the measure as an
~infernal bill,'' which he said would
wipe out the sugar industry in A1ichi-
gan. He reviewed the history of the
how, in his opinion, it would be injured
by the passage of the bill Continuing,
he said:
Some one has said that it makes no
difference whether you put this meas
tlre into law or not. If that is so, why
was f. F. Atkins of Boston here nearly
two years ago? Why was that -(here
Mr.. Fordney used adjectives which are
considered nbelous in most newspa-
pers.) Thurber here? Why has he been
here, as he has, sneaking around this
capitol ever since 1 have been in con-
gress-who afterward admitted that he
was paid by the sugar trust and lied
when before the committee on ways
and means when the gentleman from
Minnesota (Tawney) asked him if he
had received any money from Have
meyer OF the sugar trust in any way,
shape or manner, and he said no, but
q few days later, when placed upon
OATH testified that he had received
money from Havemeyer and also tes-
titled that he had received money di-
eectly from Major General Wood, mil

Mr.. ForneY said that with the reduc-
tion of the tariff on sugar which would
follow this bill. the trust. at it's will,
would reduce the price of sugar to a
point with which the beet sugar manu-
they had crushed them out, raise the
price. He also said that every pound
of sugar coming from Cuba goes

American Sugar Refining company or
Arbuckle. one having a capacity of
10000 barrels day and the other 20,-

Z. In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, Geo. w. Stansf1eld means
exactly what the guarantee says.
Of course the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred or
else he could not afford to make this
unusual offer. But if the treatment
should not be adapted to your case there
will be no questions or quibblings when
you go to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. It stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed The Hyomel
trea tment kills the catarrh germs
even in the minutest air cells, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and makes complete and lasting
cures in cases that have resisted the
usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by med
icines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous The outfit costs but

GUS RUHLIN BOBS UP.
Thinks Munroe Should Fight Him
Before Jeffries.

New York, Nov. 1s.-Billy Madden,
manager of Gus Rubin, thinks it is
absurd for Jack Munroe. the Anaconda
miner, to challenge Jim Jeffries before
meeting his man. The veteran handler
ana trainer of fighters says:
"Munroe must show more fighting
qualities before the public will take
him seriously. His victory over Peter
Maher does not help him any. The
Irishman Is only shadow of his for
mer self. and a few years ago 1 think
he could whip all the Munroes in the
business. If Munroe wants to have a
good tryout. why doesn't he tackle
Ruh1in? The latter has always been
willing to meet any of the big fellows.
IF Munroe means business all that
is required to bring about struggle
is for him to post a forfeit. If he does
this his money will be covered in a
jiffy end a match will be arranged. We
are ready to have the contest decided
at either Boston or Philadelphia
