CONNECTICUT SENATOR AMI
MR. TELLER.
■Washington, June 1!7.— A sharp debate arose
unexpectedly i:i the Senate to-day on the ques
tion of Culian reciprocity- Mr. Teller, of Colo
rado, at v. hose instance ilie Senate Committee
or Relations with Cuba made its Investigation,
t ji\.,, . a -; -i.ii speech in opposition to reci
procity ■ :•'•• Cub* He charged that the entire
j^clprocity propaganda had been hacked by the
f;,,^;.' Trust and by Americans who were in
terested financially in Cuban sugar plantations
Th*" purpose, he said, was to strike down an im
r^rt-' ;<?ricul'ur;il Industry at this country.
He'iia? i\ i!iin?r to join i:i ■ general revision of

the duties on iron and steel and other products
were reduced, together with those on sugar, In
rider that ihe arrangement might be. equitable,
the beet sugar growers never would consent to
reduction <-n their product.
Mr. Fi.iii, of Connecticut, chairman of the
Committee <ju Relations with Cuba, replied to
«h» Colorado Senator. He maintained that there
tvas •■■ •:.- sordid in the. desire to promote re
cipr.-.. A \ relation^ between the United States and
Cuba, and said that the making of some con
risdons to Cuba was a plain duty of this coun
try. It v «s a duty which this government owed
to itself as v.ell as to Cuba, because absolutely
JrifTsdly relations with th« new republic were
a necessary means of defence to this country.
unl*>ss llr* United States should annex the isl
and. That, he hoped would not be done, as he re
tarded annexation as a grave menace to uur in
ttitulion,-.
SENATOR TELLER'S SPEECH.
Mr. Teller in l>eglnnlng his speech said he did
not think it proper to let this session of Con
er»ss adjourn without submitting some facts
on Th" subject of Cuban reciprocity. After
tskmg For th« printing of several documents,
ti«> referred to the reports of distress m Cuba
find the statements that unless the United
States -should give relief to th- island a revolu
tion would occur. Mr. Teller declared that the
statements were untrue and that there never
lud been any condition in the island which
■Bsirantod them. It had been proved, he as-
BBfl d. '--a no such condition existed. "I say,"
}!«•• added, "measuring my words, that never in
my experience In public life has there, been so
pstfTi- ana open an attempt to deceive the
American people as this." The attempt at de
roption. he declared, was made by those who
w«r«> relying on the well known desire of the
American people to assist any other people In
distress.
BEET SUGAR IX THE WEST.
Discussing the beet sugar industry. Mr. Teller
*si<i th" question was one of great Importance
to th» people of the West. They studied it.
iTi'l it di 1 not take them long- to ascertain
"that th*» American Sugar Refining Company —
\h" American Sugar Trust— was particularly
active in urging the reduction of the duty on
Cuban sugar." There was some desire on the
parr of the Cubans to secure a reduction
of let* on tobacco, but that was lost sight of
In Hew of the propaganda for a reduction of
the duty on sugar.
There has been.** he declared, "more misrep
resentation and ii:isstaten-ient about our obli
gations to Cuba than about almost any other
question. Every obligation which this country
fas under to Cuba has been performed." He
challenged any Senator to indicate any obliga
tion which the United States was under to the
island
DISTRESS IN CUBA DENIED.
"There Is no distress in Cuba," he declared.
"and my correspondence with the people of the
Mand prove? this. The Cubans are not mendi
cants at our hands. The American holders of
fugs'- lands in Cuba and the American Sugar
Refining Company are at the bottom of this
effort to change our financial system with ref
erence to Cuba."
Mr. Teller said that Cuba was ■ one of the
richest countries in the world, and he referred
to her exports. He asserted that the Cuban
laborers received from ?23 to $30 a month in
grid— a sum, he thought, that would enable
them to live as well as the laborers in this
country.
Discussing th«» diplomatic situation of the
Cuban Goveniment, Mr. Teller expressed the
belief that the Platt amendment ought not to
have been adopted by the United States, as it
KM "a violation — an unnecessary violation -of
coed faith on the part of th.- United States."
He pointed out that Cuba might make a com
mercial agreement with Great Britain, for in
stance., in which the latter country might have
sftantasjes over the United States. He hoped
no fuch agreement would be made, but Cuba
could make such agreement if it desired.
He said that, notwithstanding the fact that
thousands of laborers had recently arrived in
Caba from Spain, labor in the islands was
v~arc«- rind high priced. in such circumstances
•h<TP could be. In his judgment, no serious dis
tress.
Referring so the MB passed by the House,
Mr. Teller said: - "When the differential was
taken off there was a great falling off in in
'"r»sT In reciprocity on the part of the Sugar
TnjFt."
"On the part of the beet sugar people, u-<\"
BSMrJeotHSi Mr. Spooner. (Laughter.)
"No. no." replied Mr. Teller; "we did not go
:iiat far."
He understood that a reciprocity treaty with
Cuba would b* presented at the next session of
the Senate. "I think," said he, •that it will be
•seemingly unfair to the American sugar grow
•*». both bed and cane, to make the proposed
concessions to Cuba and let her maintain her
present labor laws, and compel the States of
Colorado. Louisiana. Texas and other States to
essaaefee ivjtn Chinese labor In the island.
READY FOR TARIFF REVISION.
"I am willing to join you." saii he. addressing
the Republican side, 'upon general revision of
th* tariff, in making a proper redaction of the
tariff to meet changed conditions, but I do not
Propose to submit to a reduction alon*» on the
only product of the American farmer that has
"ny real protection. When you get ready to

Southampton. l»ng Island. June -7.— There
was placed in the hands of the Sheriff late this
afternoon a warrant for the arrest of Louis Dis
brow. It was signed by Justice Edward 11. Fos
ter. ..f this place, who went to tiood Ground this
afternoon on a summons fr«m Districi Attorney
Smith. The warrant was Issued on circumstan
lial evidence, the full nature of which Justice

Fields, who has been investigating th«> case.
refuse to make public now. Rowland Miles.

Detective Fields entered a carriage In Good

ended when the warrant was issued. The per
sons interviewed were formally sworn by the
justice before they began t.. recount what they
knew or thought they knew. .Miss Pearsall,
who. with her father, boarded at Turnell's
house, where Disbrow also boarded, and who
has repeatedly told of hearing a quarrel in Dis
brow's room on the morning <>f the tragedy.
presumably between Foster and Disbrow, and
the remark that they might as well Fettle it. re-
peated her story under oath. Nelson Squires,
whose two boats have been important features
of the on--, was questioned at length. Edward
Turnell and Warren Corwin we're also ex
amined.
Detective Fields ma^e a statement concern
ing bis Investigation. He is paid to have pro
duced two oars, one whole, the other broken.
These were identified by Squires as' his prop
erty. The oarlocks taken from the leaky boat
were produced. They were taken from the leaky
boat by two boys on the morning: of the tragedy
when they found the boat. Their importance is
said to lie in the fact that they are of the kind
that, had the boat Veil even partly turned over,
would have fallen nu* of the rockets. Squires
is also said to have Identified a piece of rope
as belonging to him. It may prove that the
watertight boat was out on the bay that nipht.
Justice Foster, when seen at his home here
to-night, at first declined to talk, but finally
said:
It is true I ha\-e Issued a warrant for Louis
Disbrow. The warrant is now in the hands of
the .Sheriff. It. was Issued on circumstantial
evidence given before me by four persons whose
names I do not feel at liberty to give. The
warrant is not based on the clicks which I>is
brow Is alleged to have forged, but directly in
connection with the death of Clarence Foster.
If the roans man is arrested, as I believe he
can be, he will be brought before me for the
preliminary hearing. This will probably be held
here In Southampton rather than in Good
Ground. When he is arraigned those whose tes
timony I took to-day and others will be called
on to testify. Of course, that hearing must be
in public, and all will be known.
Justice Foster refused to say what the specific
charge .-.gainst Disbrow was. It was suggested
that it was only assault, but the Justice would
not throw light on this.
Northport. Long Island. .rim<= 27.— Rowland
Miles was seen to-night at his home here, and
told that a "warrant had been issued for his
client. Louie Disbrow. in connection with the
death of Clarence Foster. He did not betray
surprise, and, after a moment's thought, said:
I have received no intimation that Is official
that a warrant has been or is to I- >ssm-d for
the young man. I have nothing to ad.i to what
I have repeated many times since bemg brought
Into this case, that is. that I am ready to >to
du.-e Disbrow when I am officially Informed that
a. warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Uthougo Mr. Miles will not admit it. the be
lief is general here that Disbrow is now at the
home of a friend of Mr. Miles in Connecticut
The story current here Is that after parting with
his brothers at Jamaica. Dtebrow came here on
the first train In the morning, and as soon as
no*sib£ went to Mr. Miles. After several hours
consultation. Disbrow. It is asserted was taken
across the Sound in a sailing boat by Mr. Miles.

Th< proclamation will declare th^t a state of

There was a general discussion to-day of the
treatment of the political prisoners In the Isl

Pittsburg. June 27. The largest voluntary in

men of every constituent rompany of the cor
poration. This decision has just been reached
by the executive committee of the United States
Steel Corporation after numerous conferences
with the highest officials of the underlying con
rernti. The first men to profit by the Increase,
, 1S was" told In The New-York Tribune this
morning, were those of the Carnegie Steel Com

private scale. The next advance will come to
the employes of American Steel and Wire

the Imperial Conference is looming m> as a
remnant "I" the coronation fetes. The colonial
statesmen assembled at the Hotel Cecil have
missed the grand pageants which they came to
witness, but they have important business in re
serve. They are discussing among themselves
the work of the conference, and are not disposed
to commit themselves to any premature state
ments of policy. Neither Premier Laurier nor
Mr. Paterson nor Mr. Ross nor any other influ
ential Canadian Minister will allow himself to
be drawn into an interview. They frankly as
sert that they are looking over the ground and
are unprepared to discuss the probable results
of the conference. My own impression is thai
the colonial statesmen will avoid putting them
selves in an attitude of coming before the
United Kingdom and asking for concessions or
privileges at the expense of the British taxpay
ers. They will consider it unworthy the dignity
of self-goveriiing commonwealths to appeal for
tariff preferences like mendicants when the
Uritish Government, in order to comply with
their demands, will be compelled to raise the
co«t of living in the United Kingdom. What
in more likely In a general agreement among the
Canadian. Australian. New-Zealand and South
African statesmen attending the conference to
confine their tariff discussion to existing fiscal
arrangements. For example, there are the grain
registration dailies, already Imposed as war
taxe.M. and the wine schedule, an important feat
ure of the existing revenue tariff. Canada and
Australia can Join In askinu for preferences
based on the relaxation of these duties in their
Cavor in return for i less restricted trade be
tween the mother country and the colonies, and
if they take ihis course they will ntn t place
themselves in an attitude of coercing English
men to tax themselves for th^ benefit of the col
onies, but. on the contrary, will suggest relaxing
the existing fiscal system with the result <«f
promoting the business Interests of the loyal
commonwealths without increasing the burdens
of the British taxpayers. This is regarded by
many colonials as a practical method of ap- j
prow bin* the imperial federation business side.
As Ihhk as Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is Chan- I
celjor <>f the Exchequer, an imperial xollverein
is Impracticable, and there Is no evidence that
any influential representative of Canada or Aus
tralia favors it. j
Publishers, nfter an Idle season, are pulling
themselves tOKt-ther for an active autumn trade.
They are not alarmed by the prospect of the

personally receive Mr. and Mr«. Reid at Buck*
ingham Palace on Saturday. \

of Wales to-day was quite extended, and served
to convince the Ambassador that the members)

spirits concerning the outcome of the King's)
illness than the public, who are dependent chief*
ly on the statements contained in the bulletins^'
