WHY HANNA IS
AGAINST WOOD
He Is Said to Be Fighting the Battle
of His Old Friend
Rathbone.
The Incident May Result in an Open
Break Between Senator and
President.
New York Sun speci.1 Service.

New 4ork oun special service,
Washington, Nov. 1s.-President
Roosevelt is greatly interested in the
case Of his friend, General Wood,
whose nomination to be brigadier
general was sent to the senate yes
terday, and held up in response to the
protests filed by Senators Hanna and
Teller. The matter will be consid-
cred by a senatorial committee next
Thursday and the administration nat-
urally will exert every. influence, in
General Woods favor. The hearing
will be public.
Acting upon the presidents instruc-
tons Secretary Root has had compiled
a long statement of General Woods
services in the army, which will be
sent to the committee. In addition it
has been proposed to Secretary Root
that he appear in person before the
committee and urge the confirmation
of General Wood.
1t is known that the president was
particularly anxious to have Secretary
Root return from Europe in time to
take an active part in the defense Of
General Wood, and that Mr.. Root as
sured President Roosevelt before 1eav-
ing for London that he would hasten
his return for this purpose and if nee
essary would appear before a COM
mittee.
The Rathbone Case.
Prominent politicians of both par
ties see in the case Of Major Estes G..
Rathbone, former superintendent OF
posts in Cuba, who was disgraced by
General Leonard Wood during the
latter's administration of affairs In
that island, a probable widening Of the
alleged breach between Senator Han
ma, the stanch friend of Rathbone
and President Roosevelt, the earnest
friend and patron of Wood. Rathbone
cherishes the most bitter venomous
hatred for Wood,
Friends of Rathbone speak Of him
as having "camped on Woods trail
with a characteristic grim determine
ton to give and seek no quarter, many
persons believing that the expose OF
apparently exceedingly intimate and
friendly relations between Genera,
Wood and the notorious Captain Bel
lairs'' in Cuba, largely came about
thru the fundamentally of Rathbone
Hanna, 1t is claimed, will continue
to champion the cause of Rathbone
who has never relaxed in his efforts
for an investigation Of his official acts
on the island. Major Rathbone is
expected in Washington within few
| days, still with the same object il
view. Incidentally he may see Hanna
who is fighting Woods promotion.

The Measure, Apparently, Will Meet
With Little Opposition in
the House..

Washington, Nov. 13.-The house
committee on ways and means, by a

BILE report on the bill making effec-
tive the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Mr..
Metcalf (rep., CALI did not vote, and
Messrs. Robertson (dem., Lao and
Cooper (dem., Texas) voted against
the bill.
Two amendments were offered, but
both were rejected. One, by Mr.. Coo
per, extended the provisions OF the
treaty to all other countries. Inc
other, by Mr.. Williams, the minority
floor leader, abolished the differen-
tial on refined sugar.
rule will likely be reported Mon
day requiring a vote, without oppor-
tunity for amendment, at 4 p. m.
Thursday. The report says:
The bill is necessary to give erect TO
the convention providing for reciprocal
trade between this country and Cuba.
TITS results not merely because the con-
.vention itself provides that 1t shall not
take effect until the same shall have been
approved by the congress-" but because
the constitution gives no power 10 the
president and the senate to make con-
vention or treaty changing the rates OF
revenue. That power now Is expressly
lodged in the congress. The records or
congress abound with unrefuted argu-
ments OH the affirmative of this conten-
ton, and the practice OF congress mas
been uniformly in the same direction.
The president has deemed the subject
of sufficient Importance to convene an
extraordinary session of congress in or
der that the convention may become eff
fective before the commencement of the
harvest Of the new sugar crop in De-
Cember.
This legislation will result in no harm
10 any American industry. Articles, the
product of this country. like the articles
embraced in this convention now imported
from Cuba, receive the very highest Aeo-
lection Of any in the same schedule. The
huty on sugar was placed above the pro-
tective point for the purpose Of revenue
" The house tariff bill provided expressly

rocal trade agreement. which it authorized
the president to make The duty on to-
bacco has for years been much higher
than any necessity required on account OF
the competition Of Cuban tobacco. The
reduction in this bill leaves it amply
protected.
The report closes with an argument
setting forth the advantages to botf

suit from the reciprocal arrangement

durance and the fact that they bear
their humiliation with greater pa

Mrs. Chamberlin's Statement.
1.-THE trade is being carried on like
any other business in Chicago" de-
clared Mrs. A. S. Chamberlin, vice
president Of the association. Mrs.
Chamberlin bases her statement upon
the reports Of the agents of the asso-
Hciation who meet all incoming trains
and find homes for the young women
travelling alone.
1.-THE business she continued, us
SO cautiously carried on that we have
been unable to cause the arrest of any
OF the principals, but that trafficking
exists is proved by the large number
of cases brought to the attention of
the travellers aid committee of this
association.
