WASHINGTON, Jan. V. Cubun reci
procity was again under consideration to
day ' by tho ways and mentis committee,
with large representations ot Cubans and ct
the various sugar and tobacco Interests In
ttendancc. A delegation from tho Njw
Vork Produce exchnngo favoruble to reci
procity and several delegations from tho
beet growing sections oppooed to reci
procity arrived this morning.
Ewan Thomas, cx-prostilimt of the New
York Produce exchange, presented tho
views of tbnt organization. Ho said that
last year JD.OOO.OOO of American food pro
ducts went to Cuba, about 75 per cuit of
the business being done by mcmnors of tho
Produce rxchancc. Continuing, ho said:
Should the United States refuse to grunt
n reduction of duty on the two great export
tanks of Cuba (sugar unit tobacco) wo
bellcvo the result will be ruin to tli
planter, bankruptcy to tlio merchant -md
(Croat distress to the laborers or Cuba, fol
lowed by u-rlous industrial disturbances
and disorder.
Financial nnd economic disaster to Cuba
will correspondingly Injure our trado ami
'materially reductt our exports of Hour,
corn, Inrd, bacon, porlc, beans, pens,
canned tioods inul other commodities. The
material reduction ot our exports and Im
ports to nnd from Cuba, followed by n cor
responding decrease In the carrying trade,
will result in n losi of freight to th p
owners.
This cotnmlttca urges such reduction In
t the duties now levied on sugar nnd to
bacco as will avert this impending dis
aster and thereby safeguard tliu Interests
we represent.
Enilrnvtir to lie vclopc I'rrJiHlli-p.
neprescntatlve McClollan of New York
called attention to circulars received by
blmjelt and other members of the commit
tee attacking tbo current sugar quotations
and stating they wcro Influenced by tho
sugar trust. Tho business men present
gavo their opinion that quotations were ac
curato and fairly Impartial. Mr. McClellnn
remarked in this connection that thoro win
an ovldent purpose In somo quarters ot
prejudicing tho causo of Cuban reciprocity
by creating a public Impression that tho
truM 'waB behind It, whereas, all tho wit
nesses thus far had shown that tho Cuban
cause stood on Us own merits. Charles
Itabldan and C. 1'. Armstrong of the Pro
duce exchange nlso spoke In favor of reci
procity and wero examined at, length by
Chairman Payne and members of the, coin

that tho Cuban people had not spoken for
reciprocity, and that tho movement was di
rected by "tho sugar people" Interested In
tho trade.
Mr. Armstrong nnswered that tho Inter
ests of nil tho Cuban people wcro bound up
with sugar production and must stand or
tall with it.
Mr. Ilobertson also sought to show that
American capitalists wcro buying largo
sugar tracts In Cuba and would bo benefited
by reciprocity moro than Cuban people.
I-oul3 l'lace, head of the Cuban delega
tion, wns heard as to Mio tariff reductions
Cuba was likely to make In order to give
tho United States control of the market.
Ho said tho Cuban tariff was very low now
and said It should be raised (0 to 73 per
cent, nnd after that a dlrforentlal granted
to tho United States sufficient to control
tho trado as ngalnst other countries. Ho
favored ultimate frco trade both ways,
which, ho said, was the only solution of
Cuba's commercial problom.
When Representative Long of Kansas
brought out that Mr. Plac'o had fought for
frco trado at Havana, tho Cuban spokes
man explained amid laughter that ho had
yielded to tho majority and that by asking
much It was hoped to get as near that as
possible. Ho gavo 50 to 60 per cent as tho
lowest concession which would grant re
lief. Iloforo tho hearing closed Representative
Illchardson of Tennessee, tho ranking
member on tho committee, said:
"I no. Ice that a very prominent United
States senator Is quoted lu today's paper
as saying tho senate will settle his whole
question, will make a treaty and we will
have nothing to do with It. He will know
differently beforo ho gets through,"
answered Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania.
Chairman Payne stated that the tobacco
men would be beard on January 21, the
beet sugar Interest on January 22, and that
General Wood was expected up from Cuba.

tower. King Edward and Queen Alexandra
were met by tho high nftlcers of stato and
wcro conducted to the robing rooms.
Having assumed their gorgeous robes, the
procession was formed nnd, preceded by
the duke of Devonshire, lord president of
tho council, bearing-tho Imperial crown and
heralds and pursuivants, they entored the
House of Peers nmld n fanfaro of trumpets.
The sceno In tho glided chamber was
very brilliant. State ofllccrs. ambassadors
and ministers In handsome uniforms and
peors nnd peeresses in varl-colored robes
filled every nook.
Tho king, bencnth his robes, woro a field
marshal's uniform. The queen's dress was
of black velvet, surmounted by a robo
trimmed with ermine, Tho peeresses all
woro ostrich feathers In their hair and
wcro richly clad In evonlng robes of tho
most varied colors, whlto satin predom
inating. Tho display of Jewels was un
usually dazzling.
I.ouill)- Cheer the Kli.rf' .Speech.
The only departure from tho extremely
docorous character of tho proceedings oc
curred when tho king referred to the hu
manity of tho nrltlsh troops In South Af
rica. This led to an unprecedented sceno
In tho House of Lords. Peors and pcor
osses nnd high officers of stato broke out
Into a prolonged cheer, which was repoated
again and again, to tho evident satisfaction
of his majesty, but to tho apparent dismay !
of tlni officials of tbo house, whose sig
nalled deprecations of this departure from
ancient traditions were Ineffectual to stop
tho outburst of onthuslnsm.
The Houso of Lords wus wall filled when
buslnors was resumed. The prince of
Wales occupied tho scat formerly used by
his father.
Many pecrcses were In tho gallery.
The lord chancellor, Karl Halsbery,
formally read the king's speech.
Tbo Earl of Harrowby (conservative) In
moving the address In reply to the speech
from tho throne, referred to tho nonlnter
fcrenco of firing powers In the South Af
rican war as being evidence of their
friendly relations.
The earl of Lytton, who seconded tho
motion, congratulated tho government on
Its "more than friendly relations with the
United States and the South American re
publics." He ndcVd that though affairs In Ireland
were considered critical, they might safely
bo left In tho hands of tho government.
Eurl Sponcer, liberal, criticising the ad
drees, said that while he recognized tho
Impossibility of granting the Doer rtomands
for Independence, ho deprecated Insistence
on' unconditional surrender.
His lordship urged tho government to
promtso tho Boers autonomy similar to that
possessed by tho governments ot Australia
and Canada, '
SiilUtiury Ii Applauded.
Tho premier. Lord Salisbury, whoso en
trance Into tho houso was greeted with
hearty applause, said he was glad, to" hear
Earl Spencor vent an utterance for which
ho (tho premier) had been frequently and
unsparingly condemned. It waw quite true
thai there was no possibility ot granting
the Iloers Independence. Neither was It
tho government's business, after being gra
tuitously ncknolwcdged, to Inform tho Iloers
on what torms they would be forgiven,
especially since the Iloers bad not yet
expressed a wish to be forgiven.'
Lord SalUbury continued by defending
martial law in Poutb Africa and urged the
opposition to remember that thoy were
not dealing with tho question as to whether
or 'not they could mako out n good case
against the government. Tho premier

which would receive overtures when made,
nnd that In this connection ho wished to
know tho truth of tho rumors concerning
tho visit to London of Dr. Kuyper, the
premier of Holland. "Had Dr. Kuyper
Drougni any overture7" he asked.
"Not so far as I know," answered Lord
saiisuury.
"Havo any overtures been received from
tho flocr leaders In Europe?" asked Lord
uoscuery.
To this question Lord Salisbury answered
"NO."
In (lie Itoime of Commons.
There was only a mengro attendance of
members when tho Houso of Commons met
at 4 o'clock this afternoon to commence tho
work of tho session. Irish affairs' cropped
up almost Immediately, Earl Percy, con
servative (oldest son of the duko of North
umberland nnd member for tho South
division of Kensington), moving a resolu
tion to tho effect that the election from
Oaloway of Colencl Arthur Lynch, "who
was commonly and totorlously reported to
havo aided the king's enemies," was an In
sult to the house, and a committee should
bo appointed to consider the courso to pur
sue. The speaker, William Court Gully, de
clined to accept tho motion until notlco of
It was given In the usual way.
The chancellor of tho exchequer, Sir
Michael IIIcks-Dcach, has given out a
definite nssuranco that thero will be no al
teration of the coal tax In the forthcoming
budget.
Mr. MacNelll, Irish nationalist (member
for South Donegal), created the first scene
of the session by deploring the fact that
nationalist members bad "been Immured, n
dungeons at tho behest of' Mr, Wyndham.
tho chief secretary for Ireland." Ho .moved
tho appointment of a committee to Investi
gate the matter, When the speaker de
clined to accept tho motion Mr. MacNelll
questioned his ruling and was called to or
der. After the speech from the throno had
been formally read In tho Houso of Com
mons and the address In reply had been
moved and seconded, the liberal leader. Sir
Henry Campbell Ilanncrman, spoke In gcn
oral terms against the course ot the gov
ernment In South Africa, urging concilia-,!
tlon In place of brute force. He said the
same, to a large measure, was true of Ire
land, where tho government at present was
"floundering between concession and coer
cion," and urged the adoption of the most
liberal program toward Ireland.
Chnmherlnln 1m Mllltnnt.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, liberal, by
attacking the Institution ot martial law
In Cape Colony and by accusing the gov
ernment ot grossly unconstitutional con
duct In advising tho ministers of Capo
Colony not to summon the capo parlia
ment, brought up Mr. Chamberlain, the
colonial secretary, who was In a moat mili
tant mood.
Mr. Chamberlain declared that Sir Wil
liam Vernon Hnrcourt ought to have placed
a question of such vaBt Importance In the
form of on amendment. He proceeded to
Justify absolutely the action of tho cape
government. Mr. Chamberlain said he did
not care a scrap for legal opinions on one
side or the other; that the government
had to deal with an emergency, and that It
had followed tbo universal practlco of all
countries. Ho sold also that tho govern
ment of Cape Colony should ask Parliament
to Indemnity their acts.
Sir William Harcourt asked: "When will
that bo done?"
Mr. Chamberlain retorted: "When Is the
war going to end?" (Laughter and cheers.)
John Redmond (chairman of the Irish
parliamentary party): "By the next gen
eral election."
In tho course of his speech Mr. Cham
berlain protested against the suggestion
that he should overrule the privy council,
when Mr. Redmond Interjected:' "Hear,
hear; you ought to be king."
Amid laughter Mr. Chamberlain replied:
"That Is very good of tho honorable gen
tleman, but that Is not my ambition."
Tho Houso of Commons then adjourned,
Irish Members Will l'rotrst,
The Irish members held their usual ses
sional meeting today and decided to mnvn
amendments to the address In reply to tho
speech from .the throne, condemning coer
cion, the South African war, the concentra
tion camps in South Africa and the finan
cial relations between Ireland and (Jreat
Britain.
Several amendments to tho address were
finally adopted. These Included a petition
for the revision ot the Island land taxntton
laws, protests against the enforcement of
the crimes act, and the operation of cer
tain courts, and against tho concentration
camp In South Africa. Another ameudment
contained an appeal for tho relief of the
conjested districts and the better hnimln
Lot the working classes In Ireland,
I.oril Ljrtton'H Speech.
The debate In the House of Lords on the
opening of Parliament was far more Inter
esting than that In the Houso of Commons,
In which Mr. Chamberlain's speech was
rather dull and languid.
In tho upper house Lord Lytton, son of
tho pcet-dlplomat, seconded tho address
In reply to tho speech from the throno. In
a speech which drew high praise from Lord
Kosebery as "by far the ablest he bad ever
heard upon such an occasion." He gavo
an early touch of distinction to the pro
ceedings. Earl Spencer spoke for the
liberals In the absenco of the earl ot Kim-
berley, who is ill. After Lord Salisbury's
brief reply, Lord Rosebery began an ex
tended criticism by describing King Ed-
r
ward's speech as the most Jejune evsr
placed on the lips of any monarch. The
speaker expressed his skepticism a to
the motives of the visit to London of Father
Kuypers, saying: "I do not suppose he
came to see tho old masters." ho twitted
Mr. Chamberlain tor trailing his diplomatic
coat and allowing anybody to tread upon
It, and declared tho namo of Ore.it llrltaln
was now held In hostility abroad, compared
with which all previous records faded Into
Inslgnlflccncc.
Lord Itosebery commended tho spirit and
words of Mr. Chamberlain's reply to tho
Imperial chancellor of Germany. Count von
Duelow, but expressed anxiety concerning
the constant controversies with Oermanv
and other powers, which Mr. Chamberlain's
dialectics had excited. He wanted to know
where It was going to stop, Indulgence In
the present methods, Lord Kosebery said,
would glvo amplo opportunity for maintain
ing that position ot splendid Isolation of
which the government seemed to deem de
sirable, but to maintain which they would
do well to have an overpowering fleet and
an efficient army, for other powers wero
also building fleets.
During the speech Lord Salisbury con
stantly rose to make corrections or objec
tions, until finally Lord Itosebery said he
would not further touch upon topics which
seemed to Irritate tbo premier. Lord Lons
downe, foreign secretary, briefly replied
to Lord Rcaebery, combating tho vlow that
Great Britain was hated abroad.
Kxcltement Over l.ynrh.
The liberals failed to persuado H. II. As
qulth, M. P., to move the amendment to
the address In reply to tho speech from
the throne, censuring tho government's war
policy.
The Nationalists believe that Colonel
Arthur Lynch will attompt to take his seat
In tho Houso ot Commons If he can evade
arrest until he reaches Westminster.
Amongst tho sttong questions during thu
early days of Parliament thero will be the
Chambcrlaln-Vnn Duelow quarrel; John
Morley will ask whether any evidence can
be adduced that the British government re
fused to tnko part In any suggested com
munication ot the European powers with
respect to the war between the United
States and Spain. This question will bo
tho outcome of tho recent rumors thnt It
was Russia that prevented European Inter
vcntlou In this war.
Musical
The Chicago Symphony concert at the
Poyd theater last night was attended by
an audlcnco which packed the house
Tho orchestra Is scarcely large enough
to bo nblo to give nil tho ensemble effect
that one would wish In such numbers ns
tho symphonies of Ileethoven or tho
Dvorak symphony, or tho Tschalkowsky

bers Is highly commendable. Tho delicate,
plqnant manner In which somo of tho num
bers was played was delicious In tho ex

Ing and spontaneous assistance, furnished
somo strikingly sympathetic accompani
ments. The singers certainly were well nnd
Judiciously supported. It Is unusunl to
find such splendid work dono along that
line. Thero Is too much of a tendency to
overburden the vocalist.
Tho men In the orchestra are trn of
ability, and Mr. Rosenbecker evidently be
lieves that "much may bo madn of a violin
ist If he be caught .young." He has many
young-looking men In the organization, and
why not? Experience will bring them tho

they are devcloplng-Vell and rapidly In the

Sho has a great deal of style; generally
speaking, sho produces a tono quality which
Is above reproach, nnd she sings with much
nntural grace and artistic Instinct.
Mr. Towno, a tenor with n beautiful
quality and a fine stage presence, did somo
very good work, especially In the "Romeo
nnd Juliet" number, In which tho Inspira
tion of tho ratiBio and tho rapt attention
of the audience, as well as his own aban
don, lent his volco a luster and tone-volume
which exceeded any of his other work. Had
ho sung nothing but tho ballad. "All

THE DOCTOR'S GUESS
An Episode in a Turkish Unrein.
A woman of the harem Is tnken sick.
Turkish etiquette makes tio allowance
for sickness. The woman Is for her litis
band's eyes alone. No other tuati tnay
look upon her. When the doctor comes
the sick woman thrmts her hand through
a curtain, on the other side of which sits
the physician, l'rom the hand alone he
must make his diagnosis. As n conse
quence when a Turkish womntt is sick
she docs not often get well.
There is n modesty of nature among
American women which, as much ns the
modesty of etiquette nmong Turkish
vjomcn, often prevents nn attending phy
sician from making n protwr diagnosis of
disease. Women who arc sttlFcritig from
diseases peculiar to their sex shrink
from the indelicate questioning, the of
fensive examination nnd the ohxorious
local treatment which they know so
many local physicians deem necessary
nnd insist upon. As a consequence the
attending doctor obtains only n super
ficial knowledge of the ailment he at
tempts to cure, nnd often treats for the
wrong disease. The result is that women
suffer for long years in silence and allow
disease to gain n firm hold upon them,
until they nre shattered in health nnd
worn and weak in body,
WHAT OTllliR WOMUN 1IAVK DON!'..
Thousands of women who shrank with
natural modesty from the ordeal pro

same strict professional privacy observed
by Dr. Pierce nnd his stall in personal con

Do You Know
liow fascinating English history roally is? That England, ilur
lug the past thousand years, has given to our literature more
heroes and heroines than all the rest of the world aild ages?
What do you know of the private and personal lives of her queens,
who, as well as being stalely sovereigns with passions of love and
hate, were living, palpitating women V
Do you know of that king and queen who stood barefooted,
nnd "all naked from their waists upward." in the great hall of
Westminster? Or what plumber's dog licked the blood of a
king? Or why Henry VII hanged his four English mastiffs us
traitors? Or what, king apologized for taking so long to die?
Or why Marlborough and his duchess were disgraced?
Do you know the story of Thomas Hecket and the Emir's
daughter? Of fair Rosamond Clifford's bower in the labyrinth
at Woodstock, and the telltale silken thread on Henry's golden
spur that led to her becoming a nun? Of Uicliard II and the
fatal trap-door of Vidomar? Of the dreadful warning thai
hung over the bod of Isabella of Angouleme? Of the queen
who was discovered in London, disguised ns a cook-maid?
Do you know how the mere fact that the Duchess of Marl
borough putting on, by mistake, the qilcen's gloves, changed,
as Voltaire says, the destinies of Europe? Or why the great
Elizabeth and her prime minister had to deal secret.lv with
Catherine de' Medici's tailors? Or what, that which passed
between "Nan" liolcyn nnd King Hal beneath the yew-tree in the
cloistered shade of Hopewell nunnery, meant to Woolsey?
Those who are interested may have specimen pages of a Work
that will show how English history may be had in quite a (lifer
ent wny from that presented by Hume, or Knpin, or Mncaulny,
or Guizot, or nullum, or Fronde.

1 Favorite Prescription,' one of ' Golden
Medical Discovery nnd one vial of
'l'ellct?.' I can now work as well ns I

Dr. Pierce's medicine the best in the
world for sick and nervous women,"
ANOTIIKK WAV TO UK CURED.
While n great many sick women write
to Dr. Pierce and find n cure by that
means, there arc many other women who
use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
write only to say tiieyarc
cured by the use of this
great medicine fot
woman's ills. "Favorite
Prescription" is partlctt.
larlv and peculiarly a
medicine for the cure of
womanly diseases. It
makes women strong and
healthy, because it cures
the diseases which under
mine the strength. The
tiny worm desttoys the
beauty nnd fragrance of
the rose. Kill the worm
nnd the rose blossoms in
nil its wonted beauty anil
fragrance. Womanly
diseases mar beauty of
face nnd sweetness of
disposition. " Favorite
Prescription" cures these
diseases, nnd women fre
quently write nftcr their
cure by this, medicine :
"I nut once more robust
and rosy checked." "I
mil no "more cross and
irritable ns I was before."
If there is ihegularity
nnd inontly suffering Dr.
Pierce's I'avorite Pre
scription will cute it. It
tines the weakening, un
healthy drains which un
dermine the strength. It
heals inflammation and
ulceration, and cures
female weakness.

kind. I was taken sick last February
and the doctors here called it ' Grin.' I
lay for four weeks in bed. then when I
got up I found I had 'displacement.'
Had such aches and pains in my back
and limbs could not stand any length of
time. knew that our home doitor
uvuld insist the ,irst thing on an ex
aminaion, and that I would not submit
to. My .son had your book, Common
Sense Medical Adviser, nitd I thought
from reading it that Dr. Pierce's medi
cine would do me more good than nil
the home doctors and so it has. I can
say truly I was surprised at the benefit
I received. I can do nil my washing.
In fact, I um on my feet most all tho
time. An old friend of mine said to me,
"Why what is the matter with you?
You arc getting young again,' I "told
her I had taken six bottles of Dr.
Pierce's medicine, and that if she would
do likewise she would feel ten years
younger, too,"
Judged by its record of womanly ill,
there is no other medicine jtiht us good
as "l-'avorite Prescription." Therefore
accept no substitute.
