est the World Has Known.
Washington. Dec. 1.-THE National
Anti-Saloon League adjourned to-day
to meet next year in Columbus, o.
Resolutions were adopted which pro-
nounced the saloon to be the greatest
criminal the world has known. Con-
gress was commended for refusing to
repeal the anti-canteen law and asked
to further appropriate for post eX-
changes and furnish suitable places
for recreation and amusement for the
soldiers.
The resolutions expressed joy that
the saloon had been driven from the
United States Capitol building, COM
mended Secretary Moody for his ac-
tion in regard to the betterment of
morals in the navy yards at Bremen
ton and Washington, and urged the
prohibition of the sale If liquors within
two miles of army and navy posts.
They also approved the Bollver-Hep
burn bill, making intoxicating liquors
shipped into a state subject to the
laws of the state, both before and after
delivery.
Another resolution was adopted, pro-

ON THE CUBAN BILL
Two Senators Spoke; One for and
the other Against 1t.

Washington, Dec. 11.-There were
two speeches in the Senate to-day on
the Cuban reciprocity bill, one of
them by a Democrat in support of the
bill, and the other by a Republican in
opposition to it.
The opposition speech was made by
Mr.. Bard of California. who contend
ed that the United States are under no
obligation to give further aid to Cuba,
especially, when to do so we must pur-
sue a course injurious to our own in
dustries. Mr.. McCrearY of Kentucky
made his maiden speech in support of
the bill. as in line with our past mag
unanimous course towards Cuba, and
especially because he believed it to be
a step towards tariff reform. He said
that the protective policy of the United
States already had brought about re-
taliation by Germany and predicted
that other European nations, possibly
including Great Britain. would soon
follow the example set by that coun-
try.
Mr. Mallory interrupted Mr.. Nc
Creary to ask whether, in view of this
disposition of foreign nations to re-
taliate, it was wise to enact law
which contains a provision precludlnS
the possibility of tariff reductions for
the next five years, to which MIR. NC
Creary replied by repeating his decla-
ration that he desired to have that pro-
vision stricken out. but even if it re-
manned in the bill he considered 1t an
advance and would. therefore, vote for
it.
Reviewing foreign tariff legislation,
Mr.. McCreary referred at some length
to the agitation for a protective pol
icy in Great Britain, which had he
said, been induced by our own tariff
policy 'If," he said, under the able
and accomplished Chamberlain law
should be enacted closing the markets
of that country by as high tariff
rate as our own and if Great Britain
should allow free trade with her colo
MES, it is not difficult to see what the
result would be-"
He closed with a declaration to the
effect that the day has almost arrived
when the nations of the world would
cease to permit their markets to re-
main open to the United States, while
the markets of this country are closed
to them. He expressed the hope that
the pending bill would receive in the
Senate a vote relatively as nearly
unanimous as that given it in the
House of Representatives.
Mr.. Teller asked Mr.. McGregor If he
thought it would please Germany and
other European countries, from which
the United States buy sugar, to know
that the United States had entered
into an agreement with a country
competing with them for a reduction
of 20 per cent. in the rate on sugar,
IN which MoCYaoYU ranlia6 that
he was for this bill because it makes
a breach in the tariff wall.
The Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row.

Representatives Tawney of Minnesota
and Trimble of Kentucky addressed

chairman of a committee to call upon
Secretary Cortelyou and Commission
er Yerkes of the internal revenue bu-
reau, when matters of interest to the
association will be discussed.
