WASHINGTON, April 11. Debate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill continued in the
bouse today, the principal speeches being
mad by Mr. Long of Kansas, a member of
the way and means committee, who from
the flrat, ardently aupported the proposi
tion for reciprocity and who originally fa
vored a reduction of 40 per cent, and by
Mr.. Shafroth of Colorado, who opposed the
bill on the ground that the 8ugar trust,
which he said was waging a war of exter
mination against the beet sugar Industry
would be Its chief beneficiary.
The leaders of the house who have been
much worried as to the outcome of the
controversy were considerably relieved to
day when Mr. Watson, of Indiana, who is
acting aa the republican whip on this occa
sion, informed them that after a careful
canvass he was postli-e that when
the attempt was made to overrule
the chair In order to make way for an
amendment to abolish the differential on
refined sugar the chair would be sustained.
On both aides it Is considered that the
uncertainty regard I qg the fate of the bill
hinges upon the question of overruling the
chair. Despite Mr. Watson's canvass,
there are those who still contend that they
will win the bill.
Roaecran Funeral Committer.
At the opening of the session of
the house today the speaker an
nounced the appointment of the fol
lowing 'committee to attend 'the funeral
at Arlington cemetery, Washington, of
Oeneral W. 8. Rosecrana: Mr. Hepburn of
Iowa,. Mr. Oroavenor of Ohio, Mr. Ixud of
California, Mr. Steele of Indiana, Mr. Sui
ter of New York, Mr. Elliott of South
Carolina, Mr. Clark of Missouri. Mr. Cum
mlngs of New York and Mr. Taylor of
Alabama.
The postofflc appropriation bill was
aent to conference. - Messrs. Loud. Smith
of Illinois and Swanson of Virginia were
appointed conferees.
The house then went Into committee of
the whole and resumed the consideration
of the Cuban reciprocity bill.
Mr. Long, who has been very ac
tive In urging Cuban reciprocity, spoke
In favor of the bill. He urged that
the pending bill dote not Involve a
revision of the. tariff, but contended that
the fata of the republican doctrine of
reciprocity, to which the party was com
mitted by the platforms of 1896 and 1900
and the McKlnley and Dlngley tariff acts,
depended upon the passage of this bill.
Coat of Production. .,
Ha analysed the evidence before the com
mittee on ways and means as to the cost of
producing refined sugar from both Cuban
can and the sugar beet and argued that
even at the reduced tariff provided by this
bill refined sugar could be placed on the
Chicago market for 28 cents a hundred less
than refined Cuban sugar and that Ne
braska and Colorado beet tugar can bo
placed on the Kansas City market for 18
cents a hundred less than Cuban sugar
and that Cuban sugar' cannot compete at
all with Ua beet rival on the Denver mar-1
ket. He quoted from the atatement made
by the Oxnard Beet Sugar company at Its
annual meeting, held April 1, 1902, that
It can manufacture refined sugar "below
the cost of granulated sugar made from
Imported raws."
H read the evidence of all the beet
sugar experts to the effect that the pro
posed reduction In the Cuban tariff would
not lower the price of refined sugar and
argued that therefore the beet augar In
dustry would not be injured by the pro
posed legislation. He devoted much time
to the proposition. The Cuban planters,
and aot the sugar trust, would get th
benefit of th concession In tariff.
Effect of f iclproclty.
Turning to th benefits which would ac
crue to us from reciprocity vita Cuba he
reviewed the case of the Blaine reciprocity
treaty, which existed from 1891 Co 1894,
showing that while our exports to all other
countries fell off . materially during this
period, owing to the depreciation in silver
and other causes, that our trade with Cuba
mora than doubled and that our exports
to countries with which we had reciprocity
agreements were the only ones that
showed an Increase. Reciprocity, he de

monopoly of the Ctfban .markets. A moral
obligation, he said, rented on the Inlted
States to aid Cuba, from the fact that the
I'latt amendment was accepted only upon
the virtual promise of tariff concessions.
In closing, Mr. Long said:
That It I our duty to complete the work
undertaken In (uta In recognised by every
patriotic American. We can discharge
that obligation and still do no harm to
any American Industry. Special Interest
have endeavored to prevent action and
tried to alarm cnnrea by 'the cry that

facta do not warrant this assumption and
If this congress does Its duty, as did the
congress that passed the resolution of
Intervention. It will provide before this
session ends for reciprocity with Cuba,
which will bring happiness and content
ment to the people of that .island, further
promote the prosperity of the people of
the 1'nlted States and honorably nnlsh the
work undertaken when the War with Spain
began.
Volley of Inquiries.
Mr. Long met a volley of questions from
the opponents of reciprocity on the repub
lican side. At various times during his
speech he sustained the fire of Mr. Prince
of Illinois, Mr. Hepburn or Iowa, Mr. Need
ham of California, Mr. Kahn of California
and W. A. Smith of Michigan.
He ridiculed the republican adversaries
of reciprocity who, he said, refused to yield
soy concession to Cuba because they al
lege It threatened the protective . system,
but who deliberately proposed to adopt a
revolutionary course to take the differen
tial off of refined augar. which he said bad
been placed In the Dlngley bill for the
express purpose Of protecting the beet
sugar industry.
Mr. Long . pointed out that the adver
saries of the bill bad shifted their ground
since the publication of Oeneral Woods'
statement thst the Sugar trust controlled
only 3,600 tons of Cuban sugar. He aatd
that previous to that those who controlled
the bill charged that .the trust had bought
up all the Cuban sugar. Yet now they used
that ststement to prove that the (rust was
not making large purchase of sugar, but
wss holding off, awaiting the action of con
gress. Shafroth Aajalnat Bill.
Mr. Shafroth of Colorado . opposed the
bill. He charged that the eentlment in
favor of concessions to Cuban sugar had
been manufactured by the Sugar trust and
was part of the war the trust was waging
against the beet sugar Industry in Colorado
and other western states.
He read extracts from the report of the
president of the " Sugar trust before the
Lexow commission and the Industrial com
mission to show the methods of the com
pany in crushing out ita competitors. Mr.
Shafroth aald the bill. made a gift of 88,000,
000 to somebody and he undertook to dem
onstrate that the major portion of the
money would find Its way Into the coffers
of the trust.

was among the president's callers today
and during the conference the president
authorised the atatement that he was tak
ing no part whatever In the Illinois sena

Mason, Representative Hopkins and Mr.
Dawea were alike most friendly and be had
done, and would do, nothing that could
poaalbly be construed Into an evidence of
partiality for either of the candidates.
"My time is altogether too much occupied
with being president." aald Mr. Roosevelt,
"to admit of my taking any part in the
senatorial contest In Illinois."

Oeneral Schofield Declares that Dual Bead
of Army i Wrong.
WOULD MAKE PRESIDENT COMMANDER
teran Military Leader Deplores the
"trained Relation EslatlnsT Br
' tvreen Rooaevelt, Miles and
Secretary Hoot.
WASHINGTON, April 11. The report of
the testimony given before the senate com
mittee on military affairs by Oeneral
Schofield, formerly the commanding gen
eral of the army, on the bill to create a
general staff wsa made public today. He
endorsed the bill, saying that he had long
since come to the conclusion that there
is no room under our constitution for two
commanders and that the president, whom
the constitution makes the supreme com
mander, must act through the secretary of
war. He added:
The verv exalted Individual offloe so-
called, of commanding general of the army
must oieappenr. There is no room for It in
this government, no matter who occupies
It; It la not a question of personality at all,
6r the character of the Individual, so far
as this great question la concerned. He
mi at, oe wnat other nations of the earth
have, a chief .of staff, not a commanding
general.
Referring ' to the German system, Oen
eral Schofield said:
We would have to modify their system
so as to make it applicable. If we had at
the head of the armv for veHra the same
distinguished general, other things being
satisfactory, that would be very well, but
wnai is tne tise or a great general as the
nominal head of the army if the president
will not even talk to him except to criti
cise him, or If the secretary of war and he
do not even speak to each other? What
good Is he?
Senators Burrows: "Why would l ot the
same condition of affairs exist between the
chief of staff, and the president?"
Maya Bill Is Indlapenable.
Oeneral Schofield: "Because he would
relieve him and get another. The personal
relations between the president, the secre
tary of war and the commanding general
re, of all, more important than any law,
and that is one of the reasons why this
bill is absolutely indispensable, or some
thing like It. You must give to the presi
dent discretion to select thst man."
Snator Burrows: "Why cannot the lieu
tenant general of the army and the presi
dent confer as it Is?"
General ' Schofield: "They are not on
speaking terms."
Senator Burrows: "Not on speaking
terms?"
General Schofield: "No, sir. You will
have to get rid of that intolerable condition
by which this man, close to the president,
the only man who Is available to do these
things. Is a man whom the president does
talk to except to criticise him. The re
sult Is bad; very bad. The president feels
the need of such a man, as did the presi
dents whom I have known. They would
say: "I cannot do these things; I must
have a military man to help me' then in
that situation he perhaps sends tor Colonel
or Major so and so, and he finds there Is
a bright young fellow and be knowa about
these things and a few days It gets to be
known that 'Tom so and so' la commanding
the army."
Not Afraid oC Germanising.
In reply to a question by Senator
Scott, calling attention to General Miles'
statement that the effect of the proposed
legislation would be to Germanize and .Rus
sianize the American army, General Scho
field said: "I am not afraid of that. 1
think we might Germanise other things a
little with advantage, possibly.
Remarking upon the provision of the bill
for a four years term as chief of staff.
General Schofield opposed It as coming from
"that fountain of error, the congress of the
United States, which provides for the re
tirement of the very best men Just when
they come to be of' the age when Von
Moltke won his greatest triumphs. I au
not supperanuated yet," be continued.
"and still I have been retired tor a long
time."
General Schofield expressed the opinion
that during the war of the rebellion the
southern system of selecting high officers
was far better than that of the north.
Speaking of the rank of lieutenant general,
he said he would give the proposed chief
of staff even higher rank, adding;
"I would make one general at the head
of the army and I would have three lieu
tenant generals and then the proper num
ber of officers In the grades uader that.
The confederates during the civil war were
a great deal wiser than we In that respect.
They were better soldiers and better edu
cated and knew more about It. They car
ried off the greater proportion of the best
blood that we had, to tell the truth, and
they organised their army ' scientifically."
Fanetloa of Chief of Stan.
He also expressed the opinion that under
the secretary of war the chief of staff
should have charge of the department of
supply and transportation and the signal
corps, which the commanding general does
not now control. He also urged that under
existing law the commanding general ha
no real authority, that except that he Is
president of th Board of Ordnance and
Fortification there bad never been a law
defining what bla position Is. He held
that the United States and Great Britain
are the only present countries which have
not a general ataff.
Of the British he said: "They hav not
any system. What w hav is what they
bad 100 years ago and we hav not im
proved and they have not either. They
have had the same conflict between the
Horse guards and the War office in Great
Britain as we have had here, and that will
continue until by some chance a king hap
pens to be a soldier and then he will
straighten It all out."

In the United States circuit court the
case of A. J. VanAlstlne against the
United States is being tried. VanAlstlns
was the sub-contractor for the delivery of
mall between the Omaha postofflc and the
depot In 188. According to his petition
at th time th Transmisalsslppt exposition
was opened in that year he was ordered by
the postmaster to deliver mall In sacks to
a postofflc established by the government
en th exposition grounds. This work re
quired the employment of a large number
of men not otherwise necessary. Ha de
manded of th postmaster psy for th addi
tional work, which was refuted, and h now
brings suit for S50 for services.
In addition to this claim he has another
far $135 which hs alleges grew out of the
fact that b was required by the postmas
ter to carry mall between th postofflc and
th Burlington station, which was not
specified in th original contract. Th case
is defended by the United States on tn
ground that VanAlstlne Is not known to

the man from whom he secured th sub

A HORRIBLE LEGACY
DREADFUL INHERITANCE OF AN

For Year He Endeavored to Met Hid

The inheritance of Thomas E. Lawes, pro
prietor of Hotel Taft, Dunkirk, Ind., was
anything but an enviable one. It came to
him more than a decade ago and to get rid
of it he tried In vain for many years. How
at last he succeeded makes an Interesting
story.
"Until a few years ago," he says. "I was
a man to be pitied. For more than ten
years I was a paralytic hardly able to use
my hands, and with my eyes so affected
by the disease that I could not recognize
my friends across the room. My hands
and forearms were so numb that there was
scarcely any feeling In them at all."
"You bad a doctor?" ventured hie Inter
viewer. "Yes, for a while In 1882, until be
affected my hearing with his medicine. I
tried Various things, but I didn't get any
better and I became pretty well dis
couraged. The disease is hereditary In the
family. One of my sisters died of paralysis
and the face of another was all drawn out
of shape by It. So, you see, I realize that
It would be a prstty hard, and almost Im
possible thing to get rid of It In my case."
"But you did succeed."
"I did, and the credit Is all du to Or.

Mr. Lawes is a substantial citizen of

The fact that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills

Friends of Accused Officer Look for Verdict
of Not Guilty.
MAJOR PROTESTS HIS OWN INNOCENCE
Admits In Hla atatement on Witness
land Killing Certain Filipinos
and gays Me Did
Riant.
MANILA. April 11 Major Littleton W.
T. Waller of the marine corps, who Is being
tried by court-martial on the charge of exe
cuting Samar natives without trial, addressed
the court today. The mJor said he was either
right or wrong In his actions and added
that be desired to cite Ave precedents
which came under the bead of his own
rase. He alluded to the naval battle at
Santiago and the humanity he had shown
to Spaniards who were raptured, and said
be bad many letters from Spaniards thank
ing him for the kindness he bad shown
tbem.
Continuing, the major said that In 1882
he was with the British forces In Egypt,
where Arabs captured pickets of Belgal
cavalry, decapitated the prisoners and
placed their heads on poles. Afterwards
all the Arabs were caught and shot without
trial. During tne campaign In China the
Chinese mutilated the dead and tortured the
wounded to death. Consequently, when a
Boxter or a fanatic was captured be was
executed Immediately without reference.
Says It I Common Practice.
This waa true lu the care of the troops
of every nation in China. It was true dur
ing the three weeks he commanded the
American there. But the same thing oc
curred later, when he was no longer In
Command. No protest was made and he
had every right to believe that his act
were approved, so far as the American
forces were concerned. He knew they wer
approved by those of other natlone.
"It la impossible to conceive such treach
ery as that of the natives of Samar," said
the major. "They revel In blood and have
an appetite for wanton sacrilege of the
bumaa body. These thieves stole Captain
Conns!!' class ring, filled the soldiers'
body with jam and jelly and attempted to
murder my command. I shot them. I hon
estly thought then that I was right, and I
believe so now. Neither my people nor
the world will believe me to be a mur
derer." Captain Arthur T. Marlx, marine corps,
representing Major Waller, In a forceful
argument, maintained that Waller's actions
were justified by martial law, quoting num
erous authorities on the subject. Captain
Marlx also said be regretted that the pros,
ecutlon has seen fit to call General Smith.
He claimed that all the testimony went to
show that the major was justified.
At the conclusion of the argument for
the defense the general feeling was that
the result of the trial would be the ac
quittal of the major. The judge advocate,
Major Henry P. Kingbury of the Third car
airy, will reply to morrow.

SHIELDS MUST STAND TRIAL
One f Alleged Assailants of Victor
' " Walker Held to District" ; '
' Conrt. '' ' ' " ,
At the conclusion of the argument last
evening County Judge Vlnsonhaler held
Martin Shields, one of the policemen ac
cused by Victor Walker of assaulting him
with intent to do blm groat bodily Injury,
to the district court in the sum of $500,
but allowed him' to go on his own recogni
zance. John Brady he released, as he did
not consider there was probable cause to
believe blm guilty. Prince Wheeler, Cyrus
Terrlll and Charles Marr, three of the
witnesses, were held to the district court,
bond being fixed at (200 each.
On the witness stand both Shields and
Brady denied emphatically and flatly all the
Important allegations of Walker In bis
suit against them for assault with Intent
to do great bodily injury. They swear that
Walker's statement that Shields said ha
"had orders to bump blm off" was without
any foundation in fact, and that their only
orders were to arrest Walker for carrying
concealed weapons.
The proceedings were Interrupted some
hours by an effort on the part of the attor
ney for Walker to prevent the introduction
of evidence Intended to show that bis client
was t dangerous and vicious man, In deal
ing with whom It was well to employ sum
mary methods. The judge finally permitted
the evidence to go In. The court room was
crowded. . '
When Walker was on the stand an attor
ney asked: "What la this Midway saloon
that hs been referred to? What sort of a
place Is It?"
"It is a place where ' respectable ladles
and gentlemen go to spend their money,"
answered Walker, seriously. But the court
smiled and the audience chuckled audibly.

Bad food habits hurt th habitue and
sometimes affect others. A mother urti in
such a miserable condition from coffee
drinking that when ber baby was born but
let her tell her own tale.
"I steadily grew worse. When baby
was bora It was a sksleton of mere bones,
and so weak and puny that Its little life
soon flickered out. I bad been suffering
for several years with stomach trouble and
nervous diseases, the doctor said, 'brought
on by coffee.'
"At times I would swell up until I could
hardly breathe, but I poohed when the doc
tor told me coffee waa the cauae of it all.
Why, I had used coffee for year without
seeing that It did me any barm, so the silly
Idea of a fogy doctor was not going to make
me give up my favorite beverage, and I
kept on using It on the sly, unknown to
him, while he gav me every sort of tonic
and pills to attempt to curs me and get
my nerve In a healthy condition.
"After baby'a death I was sick in bed and
th doctor Insisted on keeping coffee away
from me. He put me on Postum Food
Coffee and Grape-Nuts. I shall never for
get bow I relished the first cup of fragrant,
black Postum and bow good the Grape-Nuts
with cream tasted, and, a If by magic, I
began to sleep all night for th first time
in months.
"Slowly I begsn to gain in strength and
flesh and my mind began to clear up. My
stomach gave m no pain, and th doctor
was greatly surprised at the change caused
by the food and drink and pleasantly
named them th 'magic nerve restorers,"
for he say they built up my nerves and
strength as nothing else on earth could.
"It seems to me I am twice as large as 1
used to be, but It Is good, healthy tlirue. I
have been made a well woman by Postum

WASHINGTON, April 11. Eugene F.
Ware of Kansas has been selected by the
president to succeed H. Clay Evans as
commissioner of pensions. Mr. Ware la
from Topeka, Kan., and Is a member of
tb law Arm of War & Olped.
It was stated at tbe White House that
the president desired to appoint some man
whom he knew well and that, If possible,
h should come from Kansas. Hs did not
consult with tbe Kansas delegation, al
though 8enator Burton, who was at th
White House, said tbe appointment would
have his entire and hearty support.
Ware Is Snl-prlaed.
TOPEKA. Kan., April 11. Eugene F.
Ware waa much surprised today when he
learned of his appointment to the position
pf pension commissioner.
"I have not, at any time, made applica
tion for tbe place," said he, "and have not
exerted myself to tbe extent of sending lu
a single letter of recommendation. Tbe
president mentioned It to me during my
last visit to Washington, while I was there
helping Attorney Oeneral Qoddard in the
Colorado-Kansas Irrigation case. I bave
not received any official nolle of my ap
pointment, and until I receive It, I will not
aay whether or not I will accept the place."
Mr. Ware ba met Mr. Kooatevelt only
three times, but the president knew him
through bis writings.
Mr. Ware was born at Hartford, Conn.,
in 1841. He enlisted in the civil war In
Company E, First Iowa volunteer infan
try, serving afterward In Company L,
Fourth Iowa volunteer infantry and Com
pany F, Seventh Iowa cavalry, finally be
coming captain of tbe last named organiza
tion. He also saw service In the Indian
wars and In tbeaa campaigns was badly
wounded.
Moved to Kansas.
After leaving tbe army be moved to Fort
Scott, Kan., and in 171 waa admitted to
the bar, was a member of th state sen
ate and twice a delegate to the republican
national convention. Later be moved to
Topeka.
Judge Peters aud ex-Congressman Blu
ware tbe men urged by Kansas, politicians
for the place aud ihe nam of War bad
not been mentioned. As be enjoys the per
sonal friendship of the president, it may
probably be considered a personal appoint
ment. Mr. Wars Is not Identified with
eltber of the Kansas republican factions.
The new commissioner bus achieved con
siderable reputation In the llerary world
over the nom de plume of "Ironqull!."' One
of his best known productions Is a poeui
entitled ''Tbe Washerwoman's Bong."
