THE CUBA TREATY IMPERFECTIONS TEND TO MEAS URE'S INJURY. MAY KILL JK ENACTMEUT Authorities Have Doubts About Being Able to Do Anything. Senate Amendments Sc Sunglingly Made is to Invalidate the Convention. WASHINGTON, D. C- Acting Sec retary of State Loomis and Mr. Queenan. the Cuban minister, after i discussing the prospects of the ratifi cation of the Cuban treaty -within the time limit on Friday, decided to cable President Palma requesting him to call the Cuban congress into extraor- dinary session immediatelv for this purpose, as that bodv otherwise would , tce climatic conditions more favora not meet until April 7. seven days af te for agricultural pursuits. The ter the expiration of the legal time I denuding of the natural forests for limit for the exchange of ratifica j lumbering purposes has occasioned tions. i physical disturbances, a study of the From such imperfect readings cf the i effects of which are more or less ag treaty as can be had at this stage the itating the scientific world, but it is state department officials have some . certain that any resultant injury can docbt as to their ability to do anything whatever with the convention. The amendments made br the senate, par ticularly rhat added to the ratifying article, though probably not so intend- ed, may result in the complete loss of the treaty. There are conflicting clauses which it may not be possible to reconcile. Article 11 provided orig- inally that -the present convention shaH be ratified by the authorities of the respective countries and the ratifi- cations shall be exchanged at Wash- mcton. D. C as soon as may be be- before January 31. 1503. and the con- vention shall go into effect on the tenth day after the exchange of rati fications and shall continue in force for the term of five years from the date of going into effect, and from year to year thereafter until the expiration of one year from the day, when either of the contracting parties shall give notice to the other of its intention tc terminate the same."' ' Usually it is provided that a treaty shall go into effect as soon as the rat ifications are exchanged, and with the slight change in this respect the orig inal ratifying clause ot the Cuban trea ty was in the usual form and would not have led to complications. The , date of January 31 was changed by : both governments before the United j . States senate acted to March 31. and ; that is how the article stood when the senate added this sentence: .ffc-sr -This treaty shall not. take effect un til the same shall have been approved By the congress." ! This led to complications which are , I now vexing the departments here. where two different dates are fixed in the same article for the taking effect ot" the treaty The weight of opinion j inclines to the belief that following I the common law principle the last stip- j . . illation should govern, which would de- f .- - fer the operation or" the treaty until after the congress acted. But a more serines difficulty "s pointed out. as fol-1 lows: It is hardly regarded as feasible, and - -- - Is certainly in violation of precedent. to exchange ratifications of a docu ment which is not a treaty, as this j Cben convention will not be. in the , opinion of some of the state depart ment people, until "the congress" has set its approval upon it. If this view is corroct. then the exchange of rat : Ificartons will have to be deferred un til next winter at the earliest, and this delay, it is thought, would cause the failure of the treaty in its present form, because or" the inability of the negotiators to met the requirement at article 11. which demands that th exchange take place before March 31.

WORK OF SENATE THE RACE QUESTION DISCUSSION. UNDER MR. MONEY JAS THE FLOOR He Declares that the President is Merely Executive of the Black Belt Says the Whites Will Never Stand for African Officeholders. WASHINGTON The race question was discussed in the senate Wed nesday, Mr. Money bringing the mat-j ter up in speaking on the president's action in closing the Indianola posr oface. In the course of his remarks he declared that Mr. Rosevelt war. not the president of the United t States, but the president of the -black belt.- -The department has made the peo ple of the south hate the administra tion." he said. "The people cf the ' south hoped Mr. Roosevelt would be an American president, but instead , he is president of the black belt. j -His appointments had caused gen- j has received the fallowing letter rrom eral disgust.

"This is a white man's coun try and government." There was a feeling in the south, he said, that no colored man should held oface. It was the inherent and constitu tional right of a great community, he declared, to have its mail handled regularly. Letters which were ad- dressed to important county officers residing at Indianola had been sent to Greenville, and rhus an unwarrant - able interference with the liberty and rights of the people had been perpe- trated. If it was intended to punish the peo ple of Indianola the punishment had gone far enough. The dapartment had shown to the world its authority and nobody had disputed it.

"There is a race prejudice in the south." he said, "and I thank God that there is JThe .prejudice against the,negro, he asserted, was not local, but prompt ed by a universal, world-wide senti ment. said Answering Mr. Foraker, he that these recent appointments had re- ! vived the race question, and that the ' people of the south had heretofore ' tolerated negro office holders. "This white man's country." said he, "has been carved out of the wilderness and conquered from the Indian, not for the ' African, but for the white man.' I Mr. Foraker asked if his objection to colored people holding office ex tended to all offices, and whether it , would include the enlistment of col- ' ored men in the arar. In reply Sen- . ator Monev disclaimed any virulent 1 objection to black soldiers, but de- ' dared it would be better if no col ored man held any official position whatever. ' "Would you disfranchise the negro?" ' asked Mr. Foraker, "and if so. should -that be taken into account in fixing "he representation in congress?"

LY SIXTEBI VITES ACJUKT : tismmittss Amendments Are AH Adopted, Though Others Fail to Ob tain Sufficient Support to Proposed Changes in the Treaty. WASHINGTON After ratifying the Cuban reciprocity treaty the sen ate adjourned sine die at 5:15 on Thursday. nacucaiiv tne entire tiay was spent behind closed doors in executive ses- sion Most of the time was devoted to consideration of the Cuban treaty. Several speeches were made in oppo-2rftfim-smr-oe 'in-faror. and then, promptly ar the agreed hour, 3 o'clock, voting began. Roll calls were taken on a number of amendments and the treaty itself was made the subject of a vote, the motion to ratify being adopted by 50 to 16, somewhat more than a three fourths vote. Immediately after the doors were closed, at a few minutes past 11. Sen ator Foster (La.) took the floor in on- position to the treaty. In the main his speech was an appeal for the pro tection of American sugar. He spoke especially for the can sugar inter ests of Louisiana, but said the beet sugar interests had grown to such proportions that many other states were coming to have a pronounced in terest in the making of sugar. He drew a graphic picture of pres ent conditions in Louisiana and said the ratification of the treaty would be liable to be disastrous to many of his constituents. He appealed to sena tors from north and south alike to re frain from inflicting this hardship on his people. He raised the point that there was nothing to prevent the introduction of Chinese labor into Cuba, with which American labor could not compete. Senator Berry based his opposition on the amendment providing against any further reduction by treaty of the duty on sugar while the treaty re mains in force. Senator Carmack opposed on gener- , al principles, declaring it was con trary to the American theory of gov ernment. Senator Simmons was the only dem ocrat who advocated ratification. He said he spoke for the United States ana cat for Cuba, refusing to accept the theory that the United States was under any- obligations to Cuba. But he believed the treaty would add to Cuba's prosperity and American ex ports to the island, which now amount m .ihnnr S5S.nflO.000 annuallv would I soon be douDiea. tie reiusea to ac-. . . ... .-, i Mp. g 0 jt American sugar woaM be .mjnTed contended that the only advantage Cuba would have i over the United States would be in lts soiL ETen aizeT e reduction proposed j duty 02 Cuban sugar would amount to 64 per cent ad valorem. which would be quite sufiicient to mafnrJtin the industry in the United 5raro When Mr. Simmons concluded vat-1 ing began.

Ratifies the Protocol With Colombia. WASHINGTON. The senate met at 11 o'clock Tuesday and went into ex ecutive session after the journal Tras read and approved. Shortly after the doers were closed Mr. Money offered a substitute for the fourth article of the treaty, which dis avows any intention on the part of the United States to increase its territory at the expense of South or Central America. Senators Bacon, Teller. Daniel. Mor gan. Bailey and others contended for an impartial recognitnon of all Amer ican republics, urging that under the i i U3 e of the fourth article of the treaty Mexico would be lert as the only American republic to which the avowal of non-encroachment could be held as non-applicable. Senators Spctmer and Hoar replied, contending that there was practicaly no difference between the language of the amendment and of the article. ' The amendment was then defeated by 25 to 27. Senator Daniel then offered an amendment providing that the treaty should not take effect until L had been approved by congress. The fact was soon apparent that he offered his amendment for the purpose of making a general speech on the treaty, and when the fifteen minute3 allowed him had expired and the amendment was voted down. Senator Morgan presented four or five of his amendments, which were each in turn defeated, but upon all of which Sen ator Daniel continued to speak. AIL told he spoke for about an hour. His speech was an arraignment of Ihe republican policy in pressing the treatv with what he asserted was un due haste. He referred to the enorm ous expenditure that would be required to construct -the canal and charged recklessness in rushing into such an enterprise. Mr. Morgan asserted that senators were not thinkinz for themselves, but following blindlv in the lead of the secretary of state. They were prac- ticaliy surendering their own offices ,in order to maintain a reputation for party allegiance. When it became apparent that the fifteen-minute speeches had been can eluded. Senator Morgan surprised the senate by presenting all the fifty amendments which he had prepared in one block, with those portions of the treaty he did not desire to change, as a substitute for the whole agreement. He did not demand a roll call and was voted down viva voce almost unani- coasr Vohlzs to the national encamp- mouslv ' ment to be hela at San Francisco in unnst It was now a few minutes past 5 and " Jf. , . . Senator Morgan took the floor to make Iast of jg Iaas series of speeches in opposition to the treaty. In accord anct with the unanimous agreement he spoke for an hour, and to make the points he desired he had prepared his sneech in advance. He read de- I liberately but in a firm voice, often disgressing in order to emphasize. Senator Cullom occupied only about , committee who demanded the dis-three-quarters of the hour allotted to charge of a foreman, him. and when he concluded the ques-' TEe body of Mrs. Angela Chabot tio as to whether the treaty should be ratified was promptly put before the senate. All the senators in rh rirrr occupied their seats and all prompt in responding whon VTQZQ . . . ' names were called. The vote resulted in the ratification of the treaty by 73 to 5. The report was no surprise, for all had predicted that when the offered amendments had been disposed of the treaty would be approved by an over-' whelming majority, sues, provea to be the case.
