STRONG PLEA FOR CUBANS Is President's Message to Extra Session of Congress. RECIPROCITY IS URGED Whole Document is Devoted in Its Entirety to Needed Legislation Regarding the Island. The president’s message was read In both houses of congress- Tuesday. It dealt entirely with Cuba and was as follows: “To the Seuate and House of Rep resentatives: -1 have convened the congress that it may consider the leg islation necessary to put into opera tion the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the senate at its la»t session, add, subsequently, by the Cuban government. 1 deem such leg islation demanded, not only by our interests,' but by our honor. We tun not.,': tyith propriety, abandon the course upon whics we have so wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by tbh action of the con gress of the. United States, this gov ermpent thereby definitely committed Itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occuppying a puique position as re gards this tha **en beeftuie a free sTie should stand relations with us us'tn, certain" some within our system policy; hihl it necessarily followed that she muol also to a certain degree become within tlu> lines of o£r eco- policy. * as Cuba is, it wcmld not for lids country to per --I ..

Finally, it is desir j able as a guaranty of the good faith j of our nation towards her young sis ! ter republic to the south, whose wel fare must ever be clcsely bound with ours. We gave her "liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memo ries of the wisdom and integrity of our administrators who serve her in peace and who started her so well on the difficult path of* self-government. We must help her onward and up ward, and in helping her we shall help ourselves. “The foregoing considerations caus ; ed the negotiations of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the sen ate. They now with equal force sup port the legislation by t.he congress whicli by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. "I transmit herewith the treaty as amended by the senate and ratified by the Cuban government. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT. “White House, November 1). 1903.’’ Tuesday’s session of the housie oc cupied less than half an hour, an ear ly adjournment being taken out of re spect to the memory of two deceased members.

PROMINENT NEW YORKER KILLED. Andrew Green, “Father of Greater Mew York,” Shot Dead by Crazy Neqro. Andrew H. Green, tho “Father of Greater New York,” and one of the city's oldest and most remarkable citizens, was shot and instantly killed on the steps of his home, on Park avenue, New York city, Friday, by Cornelius M. Williams, a negro who is believed to be insane. The shooting was evidently the out come of an insane delusion on the part of the negro that Mr. Green had slandered him, for when he was asked why he had committed the mur j dor, he replied: “I did it to save my ; character.” There were three witnesses to the tragedy, Mrs. Anna Bray, a domestic in Mr. Green’s family; Emil Michel son. an errand boy, and Patrick Dyer, a caiman.

These records were not in the Geor gia file, having been stolen or mis placed. and it was necessary for the legislature to appropriate a sum of money to have them transcribed from the original copies, which are now m London in the government library. AFTER REID SMOOT. Question of Eligibility of Mormon Sub ject of Livdy Debate in the Senate. The session of congress Friday took on somewhat of an interesting turn. Immediately upon assembling the sen ate plunged into a discussion of the question of the eligibility of Read Smoot, of Utah, to a seat in the sen ate. Mr. Dubois, of Idaho, took issue with Mr. Hoar’s remarks of Thurs da/- “I contend that these various or gaaizations of Christian men and wo men,” he said, “have a right to peti tion the senate and that it is tneir duty to do so. Of course, we all ap preciate that this is a judicial ques tion, which must be determined oy the facts, but it is not an idle ques tion, and it is properly betcre the sen ate. It is the same question that was involved in the case of t-he polyga mous Roberts, for whose unseating by the house of representatives many pe titions were filed. “If the allegations now on file with the committee ea privileges and eiec tione can be proven, I do not believe there is a senator here who would vote to have Mr. Smoot continue in his 9eat, but if they are not priven, 1 think we would all unito in asking atm to remain.” Mr. Hoar said that in his remarks he bad merely called the attention of some of his own constituents to tha fact that they are pointing out to the senate the determination of a judicial question in regard to which the sena tors are the judges. Mr. Hale took the position that the question of Mr. Smoot’s eligibility had boon improperly raised at this time. He considered it a very grave and se rious matter, and while, he said, he had appreciated the force of what Mr. Hoar had said as to the judicial character of the proceedings, he did not quite with that senator that in determining the right of a senator to his seat the senate should be con sidered purely as a court of law. He referred briefly to the moral aspects of the Smoot case, and said that, grave as tney are, they are not more important than “the intrusion of a re ligious hierarchy like the Mormon church into the political affairs of the country.' He suggested to the senate the im portance of not prejudging the case. TMe senate adjourned until Monday. In the house, the bill to make effect ive the Cuban treaty convention, which, without objection, was read by title and referred to the committee on ways and means. Mr. Payne naving moved to adjourn, Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, inquired if he was ready to announce the pro gram of the majority. Mr. Payne said a meeting of the ways and means committee would be called Friday, and he hoped to report the bill to the nouse then. Mr. Thayer, of Massachusetts, ris ing to a question of privilege, asked if a member would be considered dere lict in his duty if he would go home to get his winter’s wood, with the un deerstanding that he would return when the six or seven men, who, he said, constitute congress, should an nounce .hat something was to be doae. Mr. Payne observed that he was about to request unanimous consent that the gentleman from Massachu setts be excused for the remainder of the session. The house then ad journed. Ways and Means Committee. Speaker Cannon announced at Fri day's session of the house that the ways and means committee would be as follows: Republicans—Messrs. Payne, of New York, Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. Grosvenor of Ohio, Tawney of Minne sota, McCall of Massachusetts, Bab cock of Wisconsin, Metcalf of Califor nia.
