Mr. Honr said that while the naval mili tia wan yel In an experimental stage, It tvas manifest that In every warlike cmcr Rency tho country muat bo protected by a trained mllltla or by a regular army, or by both. It has been proved that the United Btatca. ought 16 have a good regular army or moderate strength, supplemented by a strong mllltla force. Mr. Hoar, referring to the training of tailors In civil life, said there was another tact not generally known. Our Independ ence In the war of the revolution had been Won at sea. England could have continued for a hundred yearn If necessary tho land war of the revolution, because It was able Jo pay the cost. It was not tho French al liance, but the rate of maritime Insurance, which compelled the unwilling monarch to come to peace. It was New England sail ore of the maritime states which won the battle. The rate of Insuranco on English commercial ships was then 28 por cent In the Mediterranean, It was the, ship owners of Bristol who won tho battlo by privateers and not Iho navy, niorr Knoifnh for Alt. After Mr. Bacon had protested that It was the valor of our soldiers nnd sailors that enabled the colonics lo gain their In dopendnnco nnd not tho rntea of Insurance on English .ships, Mr. Tillman Insisted that 'Mr. Hoar should give some of the credit of achieving Importance to other colonies than New England. Amid laughter and applause he declared! "Them's glory enough to go around, as our great' admiral In command 'at tho battlo of Santiago said.'" At tho conclusion of the. discussion Mr. Hoar Introduced th following resolution: That tho president. If In his Judgment It be not comntitllilc with the public In terest, 16 'rerjUtatert to Inform tho senate whother the Department of State hud nny olllclnl Informaaon whether tho Urltlin government cxtrnctfl duller on goods in tended for prisoners of wnr In Bermuda In violation of article 16 of the convention adopted at The Hague, which Is us, fol lows: "Gifts und relief In kind for prison ers of wnr nhiill be admitted free or nil (lutlM of entiy und others, us well as of payments for tarrlnge by tho Eovernmnt railways." Vlmrlty ftoiiiU Tnxcd. In explanation of his resolution Mr. Hoar ald that some charitable, organizations In this country had sent supplies and com forts to.Iloor prisoners detained In Ber muda. Upon these supplies duties haa been 'collected in contravention to The Hague treaty. Ho desired to nrcertain whether tho "State department had been Informed of the 'situation. The resolution was adopted and at 1:15 p. m. the seuato went Into exccutlvo ses sion. After un executive sosilon of twenty minutes bills were passed making the fol lowing appropriations for public buildings: At Nashua, N. H., $100,000; Huntington, W.

Tho wv nrl means committee began hearing today on tno sunject of Cuban reciprocity with a lareo renrpRontntUn Interests which would be effected by legis lation or this character. Tho Cuban Indus tries Wero renrMntfl hv Mrn Pinna. Mondoz, Dumols and Franckc, choson by commercial organizations In various parts of tho island. Tho American Interests engaged in sugar production in Cuba were represented by Edwin F. Atklnx. nokfitmn far nn nrnin. izatlon controlling large part of tho sugar vroauction or tho Island; Hugh Kelly of .ew itorK and John F. Craig of Phlladel phla. William Haywood was present In bo half of tho Hawaiian sugar planters nnd Henry T. Oxnard for tho domestic beet sugar Interests. The tobacco and other in terests affected by Cuban production also wcro woll represented. Chnlrman Payne stated at the outset that tho hearing wns In rcfcrcnco to that por tion or tho president's message relating to reciprocity with Cuba. Tho eommlttoo would first hear thoso favorable to Cuba, and Mr. Payno stated that tho commlttco desired to bo Informed ns to the offect of reciprocity" both on Cuba nnd on tho pcoplo of tho United States. Sny There la Overproduction of flugnr Edwin F. Atkins of Boston made tho opening statomont In behalf of reciprocity. Ho spoke of tho enormous overproduction of sugnr throughout tho world, nmountlng to about 1,500,000 tons, which had resulted In a crisis In tho Industry. European countries had met this by bounties, so that tho Go: man producer, by means of n. bounty, was able to soil sugar at H a cent por pound below Us cost ot production. Tho cost of production In Cuba was 2.6 contB por pound, which was somewhat abovo tho soiling price. Mr. Atkins etntcd that thero was about $20,000,000 worth nf Rtnndlnir pnnn In Puhn and at prcsont prices n considerable part ot mis would not bo harvested. While not nn alarmist, he said the effect would bo actIous loss to tho Dlnntera and thn labor employed. Tho loss to labor, he tnougnt, was likely to lead to disturbances. Mr. Atkins Stated that n RO nnr rxnt fa. ductlon of duties waa desired on the vn- rlOUS lares nrndnrt nf thn UUnrl but in rcsponso to Inquiries from Mr. l'aync. no said that on tho suear thnv should havo 100 por cent reduction. Mr. Atkins said tho opposition to Cuban reciprocity came from several sources, namely tbo domestic beet sucar Indimtrv. tho Hawaiian planters and tho sugar In terests of Porto Rico nnd Louisiana, ag gregating 89,000 tons production. To Mr. Payno he stated that a vnrv 1 centage ot tho Cuban sugar. Industry was owned by citizens of tho United States. Aside from the advantage of rectnroMtr to Cuba, Mr. Atkins maintained that it would be to tho advantaso of the Unltud States, resulting In the reduction In the price Of'SUKar to tho neonle. When nulrnrl by Mr. Payne if his sugar business was profitable 'last year, Mr. Atkins said he conceded ..(hat It had been but general In quiry among planters showed that they had not done a profitable business. At 12 o'clock a rccosn was taken until 2 p. m. Attne afternoon session Mr. Atkins con tinued his statement, In the courso ot Which ho , expressed stroncr onnnnltlnn tn any system ot drawback. He said that tho Havcmcyer Interests wcro small and exercised no controlling Influence Mr. At kins sold that If present conditions con tlnued Cuba probably would become so desperate as to bo forced Into annexation. Will Increnae Patronage. Mr. Louis Place, n morchant of Havana. and hoad of the Cuban delegation, nro- sontod tbo caso from tho Cuban standpoint. At prosent, ne said, Cuba was buying largo quantities of foreign goods and if reci procity waa brought about with tho United States Cuba would buy American cotton goods, wlno and many other articles. He believed this market In Cuba would amount to $25O,O00,00 within two years. Francis B. Thurbor of the United States Export association snld that the primary consideration was ono of good faith on tho part of the United States toward Cuba. Hugh Kcllcy of New York,, who has largo sugar holdings In Cuba, said that as an American ho urged that reciprocal conces sions bo made. Hn believed that If thero was no reciprocity Cuba would ask for annexation. If thin occurred tho voloe of tho American people would be for admitting the island. Mr. Mendoza of the Cuban delegation pictured tho distress If prosent conditions wcro continued, and said tho loss on the sugnr crop ot tho island this year will approxlmato $12,000,000. He strongly favors the free admission of sugar and reciprocal concessions on American goods entering Cuba. Tho hearings will contlnuo tomorrow, DENOUNCE IT A BASE LIBEL DmiKlitera nf Confederacy In Warfare Affutnst "Uncle Toin'a Cnliln," LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 15.
