THE CUBAN CONGRESS-
ARE FOR A HARMONI-

Opposition Makes it Known that 1t Wiil Not Pursue its Former Policy of Obstruetion-Few
 Absentees.

Havana, Eov.e7.--The winter session of Congress opened today promisingly In sharp contrast to the rows and dis inclihations to leglslate which charac- tirized the summer session, the mem bers of the minority party occupied their seats in full force. Nationalist leaders have informed the Associated Press that it Is not their intention to pursue their former obstructive tac- ties.
 There were less than half dozen absentees in each House. and the pro- ceedings were characterized by friend- Illness. R 6 ea 3&E s.e s
 In his message. President Palma. af- ter a lengthy review of the condition of the republic, outlined leading mat ters requiring action by Congress. The message made no reference to the po- Iitical situation. In mentioning the progress that has been made in paying the 50 per cent of what Is due the vete- rans, the total amounting to $2S.5OO, 900. President Palma asked Congress to de- eide in what manner the remaining half should be raised, or Co suggest other modes of settlement.
 In the message, the President called attention to the fact that the Platt amenOmenI WOulu not permit SuDd Io incur debt unless the ordinary receipts of the Treasury were sufficient to pay off the sinking fund and interest, ad- ding that as the present sources above the ordinary expenses are practically absorbed by the first loan. Cuba cannot create a new loan except through in- creasing taxes. The President sug- gests the difficulty might be obviated by the creation of a perpetual debt bearing interest at per cent per an mum. which the Government could be authorized to sink after twenty-five years, or to liquldate sooner if the means became available.
 President Palma called attention 10 cuba's responsibility under the Platt amendment for proper sanitation thr6ushout the island, and stated that

NEW DEMAND ON CITYll
REDUCTION or FIRE INSURANCE N RATES IS FAR OFF.
When Montgomery Council Had Conn piled With Restrictions seufh- eastern Tari6 Association Inc
 sfsta Upon Lower License

From correspondence between Alder man John P. Kohn, Chairman of the FinanAe Committee of the City Coun- cil of Montgomery and Charles V Fleming, Secretary of the Southeastern Tartff Association of Atlanta, Ga.. " basic rate for fire insurance. which has been waged by Montgomerians for over year, has no. more prospects or successful termination than buropat- kin has of driving Oyama out of Man churia in the next two weeks
 This correspondence further mol cates that the Southeastern Tartn AS sociation recognizes that 1t has Mont- gomery powerless. proposition Tor relief is submitted that Aldermen regard as unreasonable.
 Several months ago, 1t was stated that the Southeastern Tarfn Associa- ton had promised to lower Montgom- ery's basic rate of insurance. if the City Council would install as number of new fire plugs, purchase additional hose, a couple of hose carts. an extra engine and a chemical engine.
 These things the City Council has done. But the letter of Secretary Fleming says that Montgomery must also reduce the license of fire insurance companies from $400 to $100 year be- fore there will be anything doing in the lowering of insurance rates. He informs Alderman Kohn that a a re- cent meeting of the Executive Com mittee, the following resolution was adopted.
 That the Secretary be directed to reply to the letter of the Chairman sof the Finance Committee. City Council. of Montgomery, Ala, and state that the Southeastern Tariff Association considers the proposition submitted as to the amount of taxation against fire insurance companies excessive---but that, If the fire department and water supply of Montgomery are put on g basis of a first class city as per re- quirements previously submitted, and if the license tax Is reduced to $100. the Association will re-rate."
 The reply of Alderman Kohn, which was read to the Council last night was short and to the point. He said:
 T beg to acknowledge your favor of 3nd inst. am constrained to say that as Chairman of the Finance Com mittee of the City Council, I could not favor such radical reduction of the license as you suggest. I think you are asking too much and I would op- pose a reduction below $250. The city of Montgomery Is not in position to give up so large a proportion of its revenues and it seems to me that the proposition submitted to you in con- nection with the great improvements under way would entitle the city of Montgomery to more consideration than you seem to give"
 The correspondence was ordered re- ceived and fled,

TO PROTECT CEMETERY
CITY ATTORNEY INsTRUcTED TO
 SUE CENTRAL RAILR0AD
CounciI's Committee Reported thnt su- perantendent Hall Declaned te Do Necessary Work in Oak-
 wood Burial Ground.

The failure of the Central of Geor- Eia Railroad to aecede to requests of the Cemetery Committee of the City Council of Montgomery to protect oakwood Cemetery from damages in- cured by the operation of the road through it's centre. raised a storm of protest in the Council Chamber last night against the company's action.
 A resolution by Alderman Lobruan was unanimously adopted. instructing the City Attorney to compel the rail. road company to take action in refer ence to the matter, through process of law.
 Alderman Lobman reported that the Cemetery Committee to which was re- ferred the resolution of Alderman Kohn in reference to the Central of Georgia Railway, protecting the burial ground by fence or otherwise, had made numerous visits to the ofice of the company's attorney in Montgomery and after correspondence had met the Superintendent. J. H. Hall. In com pany with MT. Hall. the Committee went over the ground, but Mir. Hall re- .quired tracings and estimates of what was necessary. The City Engineer prepared these papers but MT. Hall re- piled that owing to the heavy cost, to- gether with the fact that there is no responsibility resting on his company. the corporation did not feel authorized to bear any portion of the cost of the work.
 Mir. Lobman said that the right of way through the Cemetery was given the Central Railroad under certain conditions and that these conditions were that the Cemetery property be not injured. He explained that owing to the traffic of heavy trains through the Cemetery cut the banks of the burial ground were daily giving away and great damage was done. He urg- ed immediate action and introduced the resolution that the matter be refer red to the City Attorney for determi- nation as to the rights of the city.
