between the Cuban government and
the insurgents is the mission on
which Secretary Taft and Acting Sec
rotary Bacon have left for Cuba as
special emissaries Of President Roose-
welt. If these two peace enovys fail
in their mission. there will be imme.
diate armed intervention in the affairs
of Cuba, and the army of the United
States and its naval force will be util-
lied in pacifying the island and max
ing it safe place for American life
and property.
the treaty with Cuba, which is the SUI
prerne law of the land.
Never Come Back.
President Roosevelt will use the
army as a police force to protect life
and property in Cuba in the event Of
the failure of the Cuban government
and the insurgents to settle their diff
culties.
If American troops are landed in
Cuba, it is the well grounded belief
here that they will never leave it, and
that the island will pass under the
sovereignty of the United States.

Secretary Taft and Mr.. Bacon left
for Cuba yesterday afternoon at 3:45
on the Palm limited on the Atlantic

Gen. Frederick Funston, who has
been ordered to Cuba because Of his
knowledge of the country and Of the
insurgents themselves, will reach
Washington from the Pacific coast

Havana, arriving therei next Sunday.
No secret is made of the fact that the

the recommendation We're made before
determining whether I could favor them.
The Wichita Chamber of Commerce was
not satisfied with this position and ex-
pressed its dissatisfaction by adopting
a resolution directing me to get right
with the president.
Now that the recommendations have
been made and bill which have the
approval of the president have been
introduced to carry these recommends
tons into effect, I regret that you are
not satisfied with the proposed legisla-
tor
It was a great surprise to me that
the committee on resolutions OF the
railroad rate convention recently held
at Wichita. refused to report a resOlu-
ton indorsing President Roosevelt's
recommendations on railroad rate leg
islation in his last message, and 1t was
a greater surprise to me that after the
committee had reported resolutions,
emitting all reference to President
Roosevelt and his communications,
that such resolutions should have been
unanimously adopted by the conven-
ton without amendment
I understand there is an impression
in Kansas that the contest on railroad
rate legislation is practically over TINS
is not the case. 1t has Just begun. Not
Withstanding the probable action of the
house and the recomm endatiOns of the
president vet there will be determined
opposition i'm the senate TO the Hep
burn bill. and the result there can not
at this time be definitely determined.
Your organization and the Kansas
Civic League can be of great service in
this proposed legislation by adopting
resolutions ind0rsing the Hepburn bill,
as reported to the house, and the Dol
liver bill pending in the senate, thus
contributing their help and influence
in the pasSa sc of the measure and also
refute the charge that they are not in

BURTON GETS MILEAGE
Trick Resorted to Which Proved His
Presence in Senate Chamber

Washington. Jan. 23.-One of the most
remarkable procedures in the history Of
the senate occurred yesterday in order 10
avoid a teehnicality which prevented Sem
ator Burton of Kansas from drawing his
mileage from the present session In or
der to have his requisition honored it is
necessary for some official of the senate
to take oath that he has seen the senator
in the chamber, but since the Indictment
and conviction of the Kansas senator he
has not appeared in the chamber.
There is no disposition on the part OF
anyone to withhold the mileage and the
senator was asked to step from the cloak
room into the chamber for a moment in
order that he might be seen by some Of
fetal. He declined. but an employee en-
gagged him in conversation in the cloak
room near the entrance to the chamber.
The employee suddenly turned the sem
ator so that he faced the chamber and
the attention of the officials previously
having been directed toward the door,
he was seen from the chamber. Tt was
then certified that Senator Burton was in
attendance and his mileage was paid.
