WODEMOCRATS VOTENO
Committee Declines to Con-
slider the Amendments Of
fered by Its Members.

BY a vote of fourteen to two, Rep
resentative Grosvenor being absent, the
Ways and Means Committee this morn
ing authorized a favorable report, with
out change. upon the Cuban reciproci. ~
bill. Mr.. Robertson (Dem,, La.) and
Mr.. Cooper (Dem., Tex voted against
the majority report. Two amendments
offered by the Democrats were rejected
by party vote. One was presented by
Mr.. Cooper, making a horizontal reduc-
tion Of 20 per cent upon all goods i'm
ported from all countries so long as the
Cuban treaty remains in effect The
other was by Mr. williams removing
the differential upon refined sugar. The
majority report says
Law Is Necessary.
The enactment of this bin into law
is necessary TO give effect 10 the con-
vention providing for reciprocal trade
between this country and Cuba. This
results not merely because the conyen-
don itself provides that it shall not take
effect until the same has been approved
by Congress, but because the Constftu-
ton gives no power to the President
and the Senate to make a convention or
treaty changing the revenue"
The report then goes on TO cite prece-
dents and authority tending to show
that all legislation affecting the reve-
nue. mu&t have its origin in the House
II then says:
II in the judgment of Congress tie

key suffers from a surplus of women.
The Christian populations have stead.
lily increased and gained upon the Mos
lem population. The large standing
army, drawn exclusively from Moslem
young men, makes serious inroads upon
the population. The camps are badly
cared for and diseases ravage them in
peace as well as in war.
This makes preponderance of fe-
males, extremely onerous and harassing
to the poor Moslem. Not to give his
daughter in marriage is disgrace,
and TO provide dowry that shall dis.
tance competition is impossible. The
birth OF female child is therefore
often considered a misfortune. A great
deal of covert infanticide results.

bles which dwell on the harem and the
various aspects of polygamy.
They are so wrapped up in their re-
ligious beliefs that they forget their du-
ties. They generally love Injuries and
are delighted with precious stones and
rich cashmeres.
Their manner of dressing is unique.
It's chief aim is to hide every part of
the body, and especially the face. Some
time ago great efforts were made to
introduce European fashions into Tur-
key. but the innovation met with little
favor. on the ground that they were
wanting in taste and elegance.
Many Ottoman women, especially
among the rich families. are striving
to completely reform the national dress
and to have intercourse with the women
of other religions.
II is no uncommon thing to see these
bold innovators taking walk through
the markets, public gardens, in the
streets of the Pera. or rowing on the
Bosporus, but since many disturbances
have resulted from it the ecclesiastical
and civil authorities have several times
vigorously enforced the old customs.
These are examples, especially in the
harems of the distinguished pashas,
where earnest attempts have been made
to establish true family life and where
the children are brought up under the
eye and care of their parents by Euro
pean governneSses, from whom they
learn not only European languages but
European habits.
Attempts to establish girls schools
among the Mussulmanc population
have been tried, but proved abortive
because of prejudice and religious fanat-
icism. So the Ottoman woman, often
remarkable for mental power. are de
, based Intellectually as well as socially
and find their only interest and oceu.
patton in the material and common
things of life.

FIT. RILEY, Kan, Oct. 2l,--As far
as one can see from division headquar-
tiers except toward junction City, the
land here is under lease to the United
for the troops.
The 80 square miles in the Fl. Riley
reservation proper, having been found
too small to permit the proper display
of military skill, the war department,
through board of army officers, has
leased from nearly 1000 farmers at j
cents an acre all the land in Smoky
Hill, Milford and Ogden townships,
to the north and west Of the reserva
ton, and Jackson and Wingfeld town
ships to the south and east. This gives
a maneuver ground of nearly 200 square
miles. and the government lease money
will pay about half the taxes of each
landlord. Besides, an army board will
60 over the ground when the troops
have left and make allowances for
damage done
The vancouver field is split into two
sections by the Union Pacific railway
which had four spurs from its main
tracks to the big temporary store
houses, containing supplies for the sol
diers.
The railroad follows the Kansas river
formed just below the center of the
reservation by the junction of the Re
publican and Smoky Hill rivers.
Fear that the river might become tur
bulsnt and prevent troops on the south
reaching those on the north side caused
the leasing of about twice as much
ground as may be needed. Each hall
of the maneuver field is big enough
for the operations of u considerable
body of troops.
The fat prairie, which lies in broad
strip from Texas to Montana. has its
eastern boundary line west of TT. Riley
and the last vertical con6gurations oil
prominence until the foothills of the
Rockies are reached are around the
reservation. A more varied topography
better suited for maneuvers 1t would
be hard to find.
