EOGI ISLAND SCHEME TO A -Bill For the Annexation of ready Before the Senate ELKINS IS AUTHOR Salient Points in President's Special Tariff Message No Change in Situation. Washington, June 14. When the senate met today Klkins introduced a joint resolution providing? for the annexation of Cuba anl its admis sion as a state of the union. Washington, Jane 14. President Rosevclt played his last card in his fight for Culan reeiproeity j'esterday when he sent a message to congress urging the passage of the measure which he has upiKrted from the start. The president returned from West Point to find the opiositIon In high spirits. The friends- of reciprocity in the senate, where the fight Is now ecu tered, were iu the dumps though not ready to. admit they were whipied for the Insurgents" had mustered thirteen Republicans against the ad ministration plniii It looked black for Cuban reciprocity. "IniurRf ntH Express Their Regret. Some of the "Insurgents" were at the White House, and expressed regret that the president had seen tit to push the matter so strHiuousIy. Thej' say they cannot retreat, and If the presi dent thinks they are outside the party breastworks in persisting - In their course, they can't help it. They point tc the fact that the house members from Michigan who fought Cuban rec iprocity have been indorsed by their constituents. How, then, they ask. can they back water at this time? The administration senators shut their teeth and say the straight reciprocity must win. but the consensus of opinion is that nothing at all will be done this session. Salient Point of the Message. The message calls attention to what the president said iu his message of December last on the subject of reci procity withGuba. and declare that message merely gives practical ef fect to MeKinley's words, which he also quotes. He tells congress that "Yesterday, June ji2, I received by cable from the American minister in Cuba a most earnest pieal from President Palma for "legislative relief- before It is too late and my this country financially ruined.'" He says that reciprocity with Cuba stands en tirely alone, and the reasons for grant ing it far outweigh those in favor of any other nation. Will Not Injure Any Industry. He declares that such reciprocity will not injure any United States industry.- He says: "Cuba Is an inde pendent republic, but a republic which has assumed certain special obligations as regards her international iwisltion in compliance with our request. 1 ask for her certain sjtecial economic con cessions Iu return; these economic con cessions to benefit us as well as her. v e are a wealthy and iwwerful na tion; Cului is a young republic, still weak, who owes to us her birth, whose whole future, whose very life, must deend on our attitude toward hep. I ask that we help her as she struggh-s upward along tiie painful and diffi cult road of self-governing indepen dence. I ask this for her liecause she Is weak, because she needs ii, because we have already aided her. NO CUANOE IN THK SITUATION Both Parties Inclined to Claim Advantage From the Message. ' The reciprocity message gave sena tors a live topic of conversation, but so far as Is yet apparent there is no change in the situation. There was a disjiosition on the part of the leaders on loth sides of the controversy to claim, when t pea king publicly, some advantage from the message. The straight reciprocity men urged that the effect would be to cause at l?ast some of the beet sugar Republicans to aban don their opposition. They contended that many of them had misunderstood the attitude of the president, and now that this had been made clear there could be no longer excuse for oppos ing straight reciprocity measures. The messaged they argued.- would clar the atmosphere, render the pres ident's attitude unmistakable, and therefore bring opponents within the, party face to face with the fact that in continuing their opposition they are antagonizing the official bead of the party. "We have known all the time where the president stood on this subject, and have told the Republican oppo nents of reciprocity Just what the facts are," said a leading reciprocity senator. "They refused to accept our assurances, and professed to have ex pressions from the president to the contrary. The message confirms all that we have said to them. It clears the atmosphere, and necessarily the result must be beneficial for a reci procity bill." .' The beet sugar leaders declared at the close of the day that the message bad caused no loss whatever, to them, and that all those senators who had stood with them are still with them. They also assorted that the presi dent's interposition in the matter had had the effect of causing to hesitate some serutsra who teretolone had not , TAKE CUBA Island. Al: OF THE IYIEASURE talten a positive stana against reduc tion, because of the feeling that the president should leave congress to deal with the subject In its present stage. Senator Deltrlch was among the most outspoken of the beet sugar men, and he made an unsuccessful effort to secure the attention of the chair after the reading of the message. Those who are in his confidence say it was his purpose to move for the discharge of the committee from the further con sideratlon of the house bill, in order to permit the immediate consideration of that measure. There is still more or less canvassing of. the wisdom of holding a Republican caucus, and It is probabl that ultimately one will be held, but no date is uow mentioned. Senate and Honse In Brief.
