TILLMAN'S PERTINENT QUERY
'As to Porto Rico Being in or Be
longing: to the United States
Receives a Very Unsat
isfactory Answer.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-In the senate
today, at the conclusion of routine busi
ness, consideration of the bill to increase
the salaries of judges of United States
courts was resumed. The pending
amendment was that offered by Mr.
Btewart Increasing the salaries of sen
ators and members ol the house of rep
resentatives to $7,500 per year beginning
March 4, 1903. After brief discussion the
amendment was rejected, 15 to 44.
An amendment was then offered by Mr.
Foraker extending the proposed increasa
of salaries of circuit judges to the circuit
Judge of Porto Rico.
Mr. Clark (Wyo.) moved to amend the
amendment by extending the proposed in
crease in salary to the district judge of
Hawaii.
Foraker Answers Foxily.
Mr. Tillman Inquired of Mr. Foraker
•whether Porto Rico was in the United
States or not.
"I will say to the senator," replied Mr.
Foraker, "that Porto Rico belongs to
the United States."
"The matter of "belonging to' and be
ing 'in' is entirely different," suggested
Mr. Tillman.
Mr. Foraker thought this was not a
proper time to discuss the status of Porto
Rico.
"Oh, there Is plenty of time," said Mr.
Tillman. "We've got the whole session
before us. "We might as well discuss the
Question now as at any other time."
Mr. p-craker said he would content him
self now with saying simply that Porto
Rico belonged to the United States. "The
relation of the island to the United
States," said he, "has been established
by congress and approved by the United
States supreme court."
Mr. Teller urged that If the salaries of
the judges in Porto Rico and Hawaii
■were to be increased those of the judges
in the territories- also should be increased.
Considerable opposition was developed
to the amendment and Mr. Foraker with
drew it rather than jeopardize the bill.
Mr. Clark (Wyo.) insisted upon his
amendment and re-offered it at once.
The amendment was laid on the table
•without division.
Tillman Attacks Noyes.
Taking advantage of the latitude of de
bate offered by the senate rules, Mr.
Tillman directed attention to an article
in the "Washington Post relative to the
case of Judge Arthur H. Noyes, of the
district court of Alaska, who was lined
$1,000 recently by the circuit court at
San Francisco, and of associates of Judge
Noyes, who were involved with him. He
read the article, which indicated that
Judge Noyes and his associates' are draw
ing large salaries from the United
States, while the case against them is
pending In the courts. One of the men,
according to the article, who is serving
his sentence, continues to draw salary.
Mr. Tillman, directing all his sarcasm,
ridicule and invective against Judge
Noyes, finally inquired: "By the way,
■whose business is It to remove this man?"
Mr. Foraker (Ohio) believed it might
require impeachment proceedings to re
move Judge Noyes, but Mr. Teller con
tended that the president had ample
power to remove a territorial judge. He
believed there was no question about
that. He declared the actions of Judge
Noyes had been a "crying shame" and
asserted that "a recital of his outrages
would startle the American people."

JEFFRIES WON'T AGREE.
Lanky Bob Wanted Altogether Too
Much Bier End.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Expectations of
an immediate match between Jim Jef
fries and, Bob Fitzsimmons were shat
tered today, when Jeffries and Jim Ken
nedy, acting for the Yosemite Athletic
club, of San Francisco, talked matters
over in a newspaper office.
Jeffries promptly refused to make a
match on the terms already accented by
Fitzsimmons. and there the matter rests
for the present. Kennedy's offer, which
Fitzsimmons agreed to, was an equal di
vision of the gross receipts and picture
privileges between the fighters ' and the
club, each to take one-third. Jeffries'
future actions regarding a match with
Fitzsimmons will be largely guided by
what Delaney may suggest.

DUBUQUB, lowa, Fe«b. 3.—The efforts
In the cause of temperance which have
teen made by Archbishop Keane ever
since his assumption of the archieplsco

the partial reinforcement of reform rules
which were recently adopted by the
Knights of Fidelity, a saloonkeeper's
organization. Saloons were generally
closed yesterday, but some paid, no at
tention to the regulations, and say they
will not until ordered to do so by the
mayor. Reform rules adopted provide
for closing saloons at midnight and Sun
day mornings; abolishment of wine
rcoms, slot machines, and all gambling
devices, exclusion of minors and drunk
ards.
The saloon men of this city, It is said,
never have shown much regard for the

ment. Moral suasion also had no effort
until Archbishop Keane entered the field

such is found to be the fact, said select

by bill 9r otherwise, such measure or
measures, as may be necessary to place
the representation of such states in the
house of representatives upon a constitu
tional basis.
Mr. Crumpacker supported his resolu
tion in a vigorous speech, urging the
need of an investigation fully authen
ticating the facts as a preliminary to de
cisive action by congress.
Morris Backs the Hoosier.
He was followed by Representatives
Taylor, of Ohio; Dayton, of West Vir
ginia; Moody, of Massachusetts; Olm
stead, of Pennsylvania; Morris, of Minne
sota, and Shattuc, of Ohio, all In favor
of the proposed investigation. It soon
developed, however, that the Southern
Republicans were more favorable to a
strong election law than to any resolution
which contemplated a reduction of mem
bership from the South. The Southern
men who spoke against the resolution
and in favor of a federal election law in
cluded Representatives Blackburn and
Moody, of North Carolina, and Gibson, of
Tennessee. Messrs. Bartholdt, of Mis
souri, and Rodey, of New Mexico, also
favored the plan of an election law.
After the discussion had proceeded for
some time with little prospect of agree
ment, Chairman Cannon yielded the chair
to Mr. Long, of Kansas, and, taking the
floor, made a strong appeal for conserva
tive action. He pointed out the difficulties
which had been encountered when for
mer "force bills" had been urged before
congress, and he cited the incidents in
the Forty-third congress when five mem
bers of congress had died from the In
direct effects of the protracted struggle
over an election law. He referred also
to the agitation this movement would
occasion, and the feelings It would en
gender.
Cannon and Payne for Delay.
Mr. Cannon was for postponing action,
at least for the present, and the tenor
of his remarks was not favorable to any
of the plans proposed. Representative
Parker, of New Jersey, also opposed ac
tion, and Representative Reeves, of Il
linois, was for postponement.
Late in the evening Mr. Payne, the
floor leader, made a brief speech, adding
his views in favor of deferring action
until the question could be examined
with more care. By this time the senti
ment of the caucus was clearly favor
able for postponing the subject for an
other week, and accordingly a motion
prevailed to adjourn the caucus until
next Monday night.
THE HONDO DISASTER
WAS HORRIFYING TO AX EXTRE3IE
FAGLE PASS Tex., Feb. 3.—Eighty
four bodies and sixteen men, barely
alive, some cf them horribly mangled,
have been taken from the Hondo mines.
Search for the bodies has stopped on
account of the stench, but disinfectants
arrived this afternoon and work will be
resumed. The shaft had 118 men en
rolled, and eighteen are still mining.
Twenty-five dead mules have been taken
from the shaft. The damage to prop
erty is very great.
The scene at the opening of the mine
was horrible. Wives, mothers and chil
dren of the dead and mangled men-were
screaming and crying and refused to
retire.
Horrible Nightmare.

GEN. WOOD'S
APPEAL FOR CUBA
MILITARY GOVERNOR ;OP ISLAND
: : IS URGENT ..
Says Calm's Two Great Industries,
Sugar and Tobacco, Are In a
Most Critical Condition
i - at Present.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-A circular let
ter has been received by members of
the senate from Gen. Wood, military gov
ernor of Cuba, urging concessions on
Cuban sugar coming into the United
States. It is dated at navana, Jan. 30.
Gen. Wood says: "I desire to invite your
most earnest attention and consideration
to tire economic conditions existing in
Cuba today, conditions which threaten to
bring ruin to her principal industries
sugar and tobacco—unless prompt and ef
ficient relief is given. With the ruin of
her two principal industries we must
give up aJI hopes of a stable government, \
for unless Cuba can sell her products at
a reasonable profit it is obvious that
their cultivation must cease, bringing '
idleness and hunger to her people.
Relief Needed nt Once.
"These great industries are now In a !
most critical condition, especially sugar, |
which is being sold at a price less than (
the cost of production. The planter must
grind Ws cane, even at a moderate loss,
for his entire fortune is in the fields and
is liable to be swept away by fire or
deteriorate from the effects of the ele
ments."
After giving figures concerning the
cost of production, etc., Gen. Wood says
that a reduction of 221-3 per cent will
give an average profit of 38 cents on
each 300 pounds of sugar produced and
that such reduction should be the mini
mum. He further says:
"Each day of delay in giving relief Is
dangerous. When once the crash comes
relief will be of little value except to the
speculator who may. gather up the
wrecks here; the people of i.-c country,
who have virtually reconstructed it in
three years, will be ruined, and we shall
have to step in and reoccupy the coun
try or continue in ocupation and do
over again the work which we have spent
thousands of lives and much treasure
in doing up to date. The situation de
mands relief and it should be immediate
and liberal."
Representatives Payne and Grcsvenor,
the former chairman of tne ways and
means committee, had a long conference
witn the president today on the subject
of the reduction of the tax on Cuban
sugar imported into the United States.
EXTRA SESSION BEGINS
Continued Prom First Page.
all of the members have amendments cf
some kind that they will offer, but the
country members are practicauy unan
imous in their opposition to the proposed
redemption reduction and it is safe to
predict that whatever other changes are
made by the new code, the exemption will
remain at $100.
The house reorganization will be
formal. After calling the house to order
this morning, Speaker Do w ling will re
ceive a resolution offered by Capt. Allen,
of Spring Valley, chairman of the com
mittee on judiciary, reinstating the old
officers, with the exception of the changes
made necessary, through resignations.
Tire speaker will declare all of the com
mittees appointed at the regular session
intact. A resolution for an adjournment
of one day in respect to the memory of
Representative J. W. Torry, of Man
annaft, who committed suicide last spring,
will be offered and adopted. Th!s ad
journment will give the members of tho
Duluth delegation an opportunity to go
home to vote at the municipal election
held there today.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE
ON UTIL,EiS TODAY.
At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the
house and senate will re-convene and the
war of legislation will quickly be on.
The first business expected in the house
tomorrow morning is the reception of the
report of the committee on rules, head
ed by W. W. Dunn, St. Paul. Its report
will fix the number of employes and their
salaries. Aside from tne rules governing
employes the committee Is expected to
recommend that the rules of the regular
session be adopted.
The organization of the senate Is com
plete and the work this morning will in
clude only the roll call and a motion to
adjourn. At the last day of the regular
session the senate provided for its re
organization by resolution directing all
of its officers to report back for duty
upon the date set in the governor's call
for the special session.
None of the senate officials has given
notice of resignation or received other po
litical position. Most of them reported
yesterday and it is expected all will be
at their respective posts this morning.
The official roster of the senate is Lieut.
Gov. Lyndon A. Smith, Montevideo; sec
retary, Samuel A. Langum, Preston; first
assistant secretary, A. D. Countryman,
Appleton; second assistant secretary, W.
D. Smith, Winnebago Oity; engrossing
clerk, A. G. Myran, - Ada; engrossing
clerk, George D. Montgomery, St. Paul;
sergeant-at-arms, Thomas Downs, Min
neapolis; chaplain, Rev. H. A. Chouniard,
St. Peter. The number" of employes was
determined by the same resolution which
cut out all but the doorkeepers, cloak
room keepers and a few general clerks. ;
HOUSE OFFICERS
TO BE RE-ELECTED.
The house organization will entail more
red tape. An attempt to adopt a resolu
tion similar to the one adopted by the
senate was defeated at the close of the
regular session, and technically the house
will be reorganized, although there -will
probably be only one or two changes in
. its official roster. Speaker Dowling will
call the house to order. Then, while It
is the consensus of opinion among the
representatives that the officers of the
house are elected for two years, to In
sure against possible legal difficulties
later, the old officers will be formally
elected severally. ; Ward F. Gray, the
assistant sergeant-at-arms, has been ap
pointed to a berth under the railroad
and warehouse commission. At a caucus
of the house leaders yesterday the Hen
nepin delegation, which was charged
with Gray's appointment, was allowed to
substitute Swen Johnson, of Minneapolis.
The other officers of the house are
Speaker M. J. Dowllng, Renville; Chief
Clerk Julius A. Schmal, Redwood Fails;
Assistant Clerk Jens S. Arneson, Her
man; Enrolling Clerk Frank A. Holcomb,
s St. Paul; : Sergeant-at-Arms Edward Fan
: ning, Stewartville; Postmaster! S. W.
Melendy, Minneapolis; Assistant Post
master Mrs. F. W. Lee, Rush City, and
Rev. H. W. Knowles, chaplain, Duluth.
W. W. Wall, of Lanesboro, engrossing:
clerk at? the last session, has become sec
retary to ; the state dairy and food com
mission, but he says he Is ready to re
sume his legislative duties, and he may
be re-elected. The • number of doorkeep
ers and cloakroom keepers will not be
materially changed, but there will prob
ably be a deep cut in the roster of com
mittee and general . clerks.: Neither of the
clerks to the Judiciary ! committee will
return. Simon: Mlchelet has received an
appointment to the Indian service, and
Edward Parrish is fighting for the reten
tion of his bailiff's berth in the ; St. Paul
municipal court John Jones, of Minne

sion, whose mission is gone at the special

After some sharp personal colloquy !a

the burning of a village, and said thas
upon (Investigation it proved that 1%

asked Mr. Beveridge: "From whom do

"The American authorities," replica
Mr Beveridge.
