(By the Associated Press.)
London, Nov 19.-The welcome of King
Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena Of
italy to London, as the guests OF the
Lord Mayor and Corporation today was
of a remarkably cordial character. From
the moment of their arrival at Padding
ton Station, except when traversing Hyde
Park, the royal procession passed beneath
one long canopy of bright colors enhanced
here and there by triumphal arches. Each
side the route was fringed by troops
behind whom thick masses of people gave
the royal guests splendid reception. The
weather. which was crisp and bright, lent
itself to the holiday making. King En-
manuel wore the uniform of a general
of Italian cuirassiers. The Queen was
dressed in a charming lilac silk costume
with a cream lace todue and crem velvet
cloak.
Proceeding through Hyde Park the King
and Queen reached the italian Embassy
where was stationed a guard OF honor of
Garibaldian veterans At the embassy
they held a reception and received ad
dresses from the Italian colony.
subsequently the cortege reformed and
the Italian King and Queen. after a half
an hours procession through bedecked
streets, reached the Guild Hall, where
they were greeted by distinguished
gathering Here the Lord Mayor present
ed the Italian King the corporations ad-
dress in a gold casket.
At the banquet which followed King
Victor Emmanuel, replying to the Lord
Mayors toast said:
1--WE are now living under fortunate
conditions of international peace, in the
preservation of which Italy. as well as
England has become herself a willing
and active factor. 1 trust the two nations
always win proceed united on the path
Of progress and civilization

The Cuban Bill Referred TO the Committee
on Foreign Relations
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Nov. 20-The Senate hela
its longest sitting of the session today,
beginning at noon and concluding at 3:15
p. IN. The entire time was consumed IN
debating a motion to refer the Cuban re-
clproclty bill TO the Committee on For
eign Relations. The political line was
sharply drawn in the discussion. the Re
pubEcans advocating such reference. ana
the Democrats coltending that the meas
ure should go to the Committee on FL
nance.
The motion prevailed without discus
sion.
The debate served to bring out some
Incidental references to the merits OF the
bill, and while 1t was in progress Mr. Tel.
Ter took occasion to correct published
reports that he had hopes OF defeating
the bill or that he intends to duly OBJ
strict its consideration.
Messrs. Allison and Aldrich announced
their Willingness to have the bill go to
the Foreign Relations Committee but
they united in an expression of opinion
that such reference should form no prece-
in the future Mr. Allison denied that
/, thCiC was any pdi pocC U lthlSius1 the
tariff by reciprocity treaties.
Messrs. Bacon (Ga.), Bailey (Tex), and
Money (Miss.), on the Democratic side
advocated the reference of the bill to
the Committee on Finance.
Mr.. Bailey said that there was quite
a probability of all the tariff legislation
being accomplished by reciprocity treaties
and it became important that the Finarce
committee should control the pending
bill.
Mr.. Bacon said that this was not en-
isolated case, and for that reason was
important. 1t was a question, he said,
that would largely relate to the future
action of Congress.
Mr.. Bacon said that as a member of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, he had
been the author of provision requiring
the approval by Congress" of the treaty,
but he said he had not believed the Ian
guae to he correctly used. On the con.
trary he considered it quite absurd to
suppose that Congress could approve" a
treaty.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.

SENATE HOPES FOR
NO EARLY VOTE
Teller Will Strongly AssaiI
the Cuban Bill.
FINAL PASSAGE ASSURED
In Administration Circles They are Now Pre-
dieting the Confirmation of The Appoint
ment Of the Negro Collec-
tor Ctum.
Especial to News and Observer

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20-Today S
proceedings in the Senate dissipated all
hope of an early disposition of the Cuban
bill ythat bods.
1t is in fact. pretty safe prediction
that the bill yesterday passed by the
House and now pending in the Senate,
will not become law before well along
in the regular session. So apparent IS
this. that one of the Republican leaders
in the Senate tonight remarked to the
News and Observer correspondent:
1T will be well in December before the
Senate gets to a vote. We are trying
to get an agreement tonight from the
Democrats on a time for vote. II we
can get it for some time early In De-
cember, we shall accept it and consider
ourselves fortunate"
In the course of some remarks IN the
Senate today, Mr. Bailey (Dem), OF
Texas, expressed the belief that the de
bate on the measure would continue into
the regular session, but both he and Sen
ator Teller predicted its ultimate passage
Senator Teller will make the principa
speech against the bill, and in course OF
it he will vigorously attack Genera
Woods administration in Cuba. Senator
Patterson, his colleague from Colorado
will also make speech opposing the bill
Senator Bailey will make a constitutional
argument against it and the two Senator;
from Louisiana will oppose it because OF
the provision in it regarding sugar. The
Republicans, of course. viii undertake to
answer these arguments, and then there
will also be much desultory talking.
It is easy see from this programme
that considerable time will be consumed
before a vote is reached.
That the bill will finally be passed and
without amendment, even its most strenu.
GUS opponents admit. The only uncertain
quantity about it is as to when a vote
will be reached.
In administration circles. confirmation
of the appointment of Charleston's negro
This prediction is based on the state
ment that there will no longer be active
opposition from Republicans on the com
mittee. Senator Perkins (Rep.) of Cali
fornia, who threatened to carry the fight
into the Senate last session if the com
mittee reported favorably, is quoted as
saying that he still believes Crum's ap-
pointment unwise. but that he will make
at this session. Others who fought Crum
are now out of the Senate. The commit
tee is composed of eleven Republicans and
six Democrats, all the Democrats being
from Southern States.

voters, and they decide that issue ia
the affirmative.
90 We make this petition before your
Honorable Board for the reason that since
the election of the dispensary commits
sioners some of them have made it known
that they were in favor OF two dispen-
saries instead Of one, and, as we have
been informed, propose to establish two
In this city. We desire to urge that even
if the law permitted more than one dis
pensary, the board of aldermen alone
have the authority to order its estab-
lshment, and we respectfully ask that you
will refuse to allow the establishment
Of more than one dispensary IN this
city.
(4 We desire further to call the at
tention OF your honorable body to the fact
that the Watts law provides that when
ever it shall become lawful under the
provisions of this act to establish a dis
pensary in any city or town, the gov
erning body body OF said city or town
shall appoint three commissioners from
the voters of said city or town who III
the election voted for said dispensary.
whose duty it shall be to conduct said
Gispensary under such rules and re9E-
lations and with such officers and en-
ployees as may be prescribed and allowed
by the governing body OF said city or
town. who shall fix the compensation OF
said commissioners and their officers and
employees"
90 That since the election of the com
.nissoners for the dispeIsary at the last
regular meeting of the board Mr.. John S.
Jones, one OF the commissioners selected,
has admitted that he did not vote for the
dispensary, and we respectfully submit
Mr.. Jones is not eligible to act as one
OF the commissioners of the dispensary
90 That the provisions Of the law
which requires that only those who voted
for the law shall be eligible to act az
commissioner is, we believe, a fair and
Just requirement, and we respectfully ash
that your honorable board carry out this
provision of the law under which the
election was held and rescind the action
of the board in electing Mr.. Jones as ore
of The commissioners.
CD We believe the dispensary as the
law contemplates should be administered
by It's friends, for obvious reasons, and
/ especially by those who were sufficiently
| friendly to have voted for it in the elec-
| ton held to determine whether ii should
be established or not.
(8) We desire further to say to you:
! honorable board that as the Legislature
| in its wisdom provided in the Watts law
! that 40 person was eligible as commits
sioner unless he had voted for the dis
pensary, We submit that your honorable
body should, in making regulations for the
dspensary. require all persons employed
| in the same to be men OF known TEN
peranoe views and habits.
Wherefore, the undersigned respectfully
retition your honorable board
1st That you will provide for the es
tablishment of only one dispensary foI
the city.
2nd. That only those who voted fol-
the dispensary shall be selected as COM
missioners by law.
Ord. That rules be passed by the board
that only men of known temperance
views and habits shall be employed Al
the dispensary.
Respectfully submitted.

CRUM'S NAME BEFORE SENATE.
President Roosevelt Has Sent in the
Nomination of the C0lOred
Man Once More.

Last week President Roosevelt sent to
the United States Senate the nomination
of the negro doctor, ". D. Crum 10 be COL
lector OF the port Of Charleston, an office
the co,ored man is holding under recess
appointment by the President without
drawing any salary, as the comptroller of
the treasury has decided that unconfrmed
appointees of his class may not be paid
by warrants upon the treasury.
There is every prospect of lively fight
upon the question of confirming the NOM
instion OF Crum. At the last session the
Senate failed to confirm the nomina-
ton, and the committee on commerce,
to which it was referred, reported adverse
" upon the appointment. There have
been several changes in the constitution
of this committee since the last session
and the attitude it will take is matter OF
conjecture.
Senator Tillman has stated that he
could defeat Crum if "a vote could be taken
in secret session, but there is no such
thing as absolutely secrecy in the Senate,
and there are not many Republicans who
will, when it comes to a show down, put
themselves on record in opposition to the
Presidents appointment of the negro.
Senator German, the Democratic leader
in the Senate, is expected to make great
fight against the confirmation of Crum
and he is a very astute parliamentary
loader
