Washington, March 19.-The race
senate yesterday. Senator Money
spoke two hours. His remarks had di-
rect reference to the action of the
president in closing the IndianOla,
Miss, postoffice Senator Money ex-
planned at the outset of his remarks
that if he could secure the unanimous
consent for the leave to print he
would not take up the time OF the sell
ate. The sentiment of the senate
seemed to be that the remarks not de-
livered should not be spread on the
record. He thereupoI. proceeded and
delivered himself OF some severe stric-
lures of the president, stating in the
course of his remarks that Roosevelt
was not president of America, but
president of the BLACK belt" At times
he was closely Intercepted by Sena-
tors Foraker and Spooner.
Before adjourning at o'clock last
night the senate entered into a unani-
nous agreement to vote on the Cuban
reciprocity treaty at 3 O'Clock today.
The hope of securing a vote today was
dissipated by the discovery that there
were more speeches to be made in OPP
position to the treaty than had been
counted upon. Indeed, it was difficult
to secure an agreement to vote even
today, and it was evident that this re-
suit could not have been accomplished
but for the anxiety of the senators to
secure the final adjournment of the
session.
In executive session Senator New
ate executive session Senator New
lands delivered a speech notable not
only because it was his maiden speech
in the senate, but because he appeared
as an open advocate of the annexation
of Cuba and also as an opponent OF
the reciprocity treaty. He presented
an amendment 10 the treaty in which
it was declared the United States
cordially invited the republic of Cuba
to become a state of the union under
the constitution and laws of the Unit
ed States" He argued in support of
this amendment, saying:
I'VE should give Cuba clearly and
unequivocally to understand that if
she wishes commerciat~ union with
this country and conditions of cOIA-
merce with us, not enjoyed by other
Independent natiOns.-vshe must seek
political union with us in the form OF
an annexation as part of the repub-
lie" He expressed the opinion that
the adoption of the policy of reciproc-
ity with Cuba would lead to retaliation
on the part of the other nations.
Senator Spooner in replying sharply
criticised Senator Newlands' policy on
annexation. He said political indie
pendence had been guaranteed Cuba
and under that pledge and in respect
to our own obligations we could take
no step towards looking to any other
result.
Senator Newlands challenged Sena-
tor Spooner's statements and the two
engaged in a spirited controversy in
which Senators Teller and Nelson
participated.

vision as TO time would probably be
to allow shooting of certain kinds of
ducks in certain limited bags during
the month of April. This would give
some two weeks of shooting In the
northern part of the state and about
the same time in the southern part.
The sentiment of Dane county hunt
ers, he said, was that Wisconsin had
tried a closed season in the spring
for four years and had made no per
ceptible change in the number of
uucks it was proper that the sports
men of this state should be placed
on a more nearly equal footing with
the sportsmen of other states. He
said this would soon bring about a
situation such that the southern
states would be willing to cooperate
with the north i'm the mutual prOtec-
ton of game.
Mr.. Lush made no set speech to
the committee but interrupted the
other speakers frequently with per-
tinent inquiries and remarks. He
saiu that if the legislature were to
sit in the fall or after the spring
shooting season had passed there
would be no demand from Dane
county for spring shooting. He said
the old hunters of Madison and vicin-
ity had become afflicted with the
cunning fever and from reasons such
as that demanded the change of the
law. He said il would be impossible
to tell what kind of a duck a hunter
was shooting until the bird was
killed. Chairman Valentine disagreed
with him on this point as did several
other duck hunters who were pres
ent. Senator North said he was i'm
formed that all the ducks his bill
failed to protect i'm the spring had
white breasts and were thus easily to
be distinguished from the other kinds.
The Madison meeting was repre-
sens1 Sya COMMITTEES consisting OF
Grant Thomas, William Dunn, An.
drew Mayors, II. T, Sheldon and Don
Bradford,
Mr.. Lush said the hunters of ILL
nois were DESTROYS that Wisconsin
allow spring shooting so that ducks
scared out of Illinois might be scared
back again out of Wisconsin. He
said that even if the hunters dis
tinguished between the various vari-
cites of duck the ones that were pro-
tected would be 'gunned" off the Wis
cCnsin lakes and marshes by the
shooting of the unprotected varieties.
Henry Graas of sturgeon Bay. clerk
in the office of Game Warden Over
beck, said he believed he had shot
the committee room and he was in
favor of continuing the spring protec-
ton of ducks, Notwithstanding the
fact that other states may be back
ward in doing what is right in the
matter He said the other states
would never take the right position 4.
Wisconsin is to take a retrogIdde
step. In reply to a question from AS
semblyman Leroy he said he had
often found ducks nests in the
marshes of Door county, showing that
the ducks do breed and multiply in
Wisconsin. From his experience he
said it was hard to tell the kind of
duck that was flying unless the hunt
er had a long time to observe the
bird, which was not often the case
and, he added, that gunners are not
usually particular when they are out
whether the bird has red, white or
green feathers.
The comittee took no action for or
against favorable report.
