Washington, March 11. —The fourth
conference of the House Republicans
on the reciprocity question was fruit
less, like those that preceded it, the
conference adjourning at midnight
until next Tuesday. The victory

ity, as the motion to adjourn was
carried 72 to 04 after a motion to
amend to make it a sine die adjourn
ment, offered by Mr. Littlefield of
Maine, one of the leaders of the op
position, had been voted down 61 to
79. The motion to adjourn
was made by Speaker Hender

iprocity claimed after the ad
journment that some of their friends
dr! not care to offend the Speaker by
deoliniing to heed his appeal for a fur

insisted upon a vote to-night upon the
main proposition.

Would not increase it.
Washington, March 11. —About 130
members were present to-night at the
fourth conference of House Republi
cans, called to consider the question
of Cuban reciprocity. Representative
Long of Kansas, a member of the
Ways and Means Committee, opened
an exhaustive argument in favor of
the 20 per cent, concession advocated
by his colleagues of the Ways and
Means Committee. He argued that
the maintenance of -a protective tariff
was not involved in the proposition of
the Ways and Means Committee, but
that the policy of reciprocity was.
The defeat of this bill,” he said,
"means that the Republican party has
refused to follow the leadership of
Blaine, of McKinley, and of Roose
velt, and it would mean that reciproc
ity was no longer a part of the Repub
lican faith.”
lie insisted that the hearings before
the Committee on Ways and Means
showed conclusively that concessions
made on Cuban sugar would not affect
the price of sugar In this country, and
that the beet sugar industry would not
ba injured. He espoused reciprocity
with Cuba, he said, not only because it
would be helpful to Cuba, but because
he believed we would get an adequate
return and in support of that belief he
instanced the result of the reciprocity
with Cuba under McKinley law.
Mr. Long contends that in addition
to self-interest there was a moral ob
ligation upon the United States to
grant concessions. He declared that
when the commission from Cuba was
prevailed upon to accept the Platt
amendment, President McKinley as
sured them that in consideration of its
acceptance he would do all in his pow
er to secure economic concessions and
said that the commission so reported
to the Cuban convention.
In conclusion, Mr. Long said:
Cannot Prevent Free Sugar.
"If this legislation fails, and no
concession be made to Cuba —if the
Policy of President McKinley and Presi
dent Roosevelt be defeated by this
House—it does not mean that the beet
sugar industry, by the control of this
House, can prevent free sugar from
Cuba. After the establishment of the
Hepublic of Cuba a treaty can be ne
gotiated with that country by the
President. That treaty can provide for
the annexation of. Cuba and that treaty
tan be submitted to the Senate and
ratified. The moment that the ratifi
cations are exchanged, under the de
cision of the Supreme Corfrt in the
Porto Rican case,, we would have free
trade with Cuba on all products. The
House would be powerless to prevent
A I’rotent Against the Plan
H’hen Mr. Long finished speaking
Mr. Tayler of Ohio, presented a protest
®£ainst the plan of the Ways and

ture of a manifesto setting out the
grounds on which their opposition was
cased, being largely an amplification
of the contention that a reduction of

The manifesto declares the 20 per

denial of Republican reciprocity,
which is a corollary to the greater
policy of protection.
William A. Smith of Michigan made
a rousing SDeech of over an hour
against reciprocity . While announc
ing great admiration for the President,
he Insisted that there should be no
executive interference with the legisla
tive branch of the government. He
also assailed the organization of the
House for leading the party into disas
ter. and paid his respects to some of
the members of the Ways and Means
Committee, who, he asserted, have
changed their positions on the reci
procity question within the last few
weeks.
Republican* Get Huffy.
As the evening advanced considera
ble bad blood was manifested. The
opponents of reciprocity seemed confi
dent of a majority, and w*ere anxious
for a vote, while the friends of reci
procity counseled against precipitate
action. Mr. Cannon of Illinois made
an appeal for harmony, and strongly
advised against hasty action. He was
followed by Mr. Dick of Ohio, who
favored an abandonment of the reci
procity scheme.
The Speuker'* Motion Prevailed.
A.t 11:40 o’clock Speaker Henderson
moved an adjournment of the Repub
lican conference until next Tuesday,
and Mr. Litttlefield of Maine moved to
amend and strike oult the "Tuesday,”
which would have caused a sine die
adjournment, but his amendment was
lost, 61 to 79. Hr. Henderson's mo
tion was then carried, 72 to 54.
BRANTLEY FORRECIPROCITY
Whatever Is to Be Done for Cuba
Should lie Done Speedily.
Washington, March 11.—The House
to-day entered upon the consideration
of the postoffi.ee appropriation bill, but
as usual during the general debate on
an appropriation bill, the members who
spoke devoted themselves to everything
except the bill before the House. Early
in the day Mr. Thayer of Massachu
setts attempted to take advantage of
the division among the Republicans on
the subject of reciprocity by bringing
forward a resolution to investigate the
reports that the sugar trust would be
the chief beneficiary of Cuban reciproc
ity, that it was subsidizing newspapers,
establishing literary bureaus and in
other ways attempting to create public
sentiment in favor of Cuban reciproc
ity.
A point of order against the resolu
tion was sustained by the Speaker. Mr.
Thayer appealed from the decision and
his appeal was laid on the table—l2s
to 87, the Republicans voting solidly In
the affirmative, while two Democrats,
Messrs. Fleming of Georgia and Mc-
Clellan of New York, voted with the
Republicans.
Mr. Brantley of Georgia discussed
the question of Cuban reciprocity. He
contended that whatever was done
should be done speedily. He favored
reciprocity. He argued that the South
would benefit greatly from the com
menree of Cuba, if freer trade existed,
and that, moreover, if Cuba were pros
perous a sanitary condition would be
maintained there which would remove
the danger of yellow fever which had
constantly threatened the Southern
ports in the past.
Mr. Brantley spoke for over an hour.
He was closely questioned by the
Michigan and Louisiana members.
Mr. Meyer of Louisiana said the
question of reciprocity concerned the
wheat grower of the Upper Mississippi
valley, the manufacturer of New Eng
land, Pennsylvania and Ohio, the stock
farmer of Kentucky and all our varied
industries. There is, he said, no con
siderable number of the American peo
ple who desire tariff agitation and con
troversy. The farmers and planters
dread any unfriendly legislation by
treaty, Congress or otherwise. They
care nothing about the success of the
Cuban boom, if they are to pay the
piper.
BRITISH OPPOSE RECIPROCITY.
Would Give United States Cuba's
Trade, They Say.
London, March 11—Delegates from
a number of the British chambers of
Commerce visited the foreign secre
tary, Lord Lansdowne, at the foreign
office to-day and presented a memorial
relative to British trade with Cuba,
pointing out that it was feared that
when the administration of that island
was handed over to the Cubans a rec
iprocity treaty would be negotiated,
admitting Cuban produce into the
United States at reduced duties and
granting corresponding preferential
terms to American produce and man
ufactures by Cuba.
“Such a reciprocity treaty as that
anticipated,” says the memorial,
"woul undoubtedly put an end to Euro
pean trade with the island. The cham
bers, therefore, most earnestly request
that the utmost effort be made by His
Majesty’s minister at Washington to
prevent the signing of any such treaty,
or at least, to secure that the most
favored treatment be continued by
Cuba to this country.”
The interview was private, but the
Associated Press understands that
while promising to loolt into the mat
ter Lord Lansdowne gave but faint en
couragement.
Hanna Favors Reciprocity.
Washington, March 11.—Senator Han
na was on the floor of the House to
day, and in talking to a. group of Re
publicans, urged that the Cuban reci
procity plan be adopted.

Baron von Richthofen'* Sympathetic
Speerli in Prussian Diet—German
Relief Will He Delivered to Boer
Camps,
Berlin, March 11. —In the Prussian
Diet to-day the foreign secretary, Bar
on von Richthofen, after reading th.
answer of the British government per
mitting lth4 delivery of German ohar
italble gifts to the Boers in the South
African concentration camps, under
the surveillance of the camp authori
ties, declared that the reply guaran
teed a just distribution, and added:
“The English and German nations
are connected by ties of blood, race
and friendship. They are cousins who
may again find themselves side by
side. Gen. Methuen deserves our com
plete sympathy.” ,
The sacrifices that Great Britain had
made in blood and treasure, said the
foreign secretary, made it only human
ly natural that her susceptibilities
should be now more acute. Every
harsh word is doubly felt by her. Every
friendly address was accepted with
double gratitude. If the members of
the Diet wished to secure the co-opera
tion of the British in helping the Boers,
they must abstain from provoking
Great Britain's susceptibility.
"If we feel ourselves more than cous
ins kin to England,” the secretary said,
"we shall be able the more ef
fectively to help our common cousins
,in South Africa. Let us not
always assume that everything done
by the English is wrong and bad.
"Let us do what we can in the way
of service to humanity,” continued the
secretary, “and then perhaps we can
go further, perhaps we shall be able,
without drawing upon ourselves a
sharp rebuff, to address ourselves as
cousins to our cousins on the. other
side of the channel and speak a good
word for our mutual cousins, the
Boers.”
ALTGEI.D FALLS IN FAINT.
Had Jn.t Concluded Impassioned
Appeal for Boers.
Chicago, March 11. —At the conclusion
of an Impassioned appeal In behalf of
the Boers, delivered to-night in the
.Toliet Opera House in Joliet, 111., ex-
Gov. John P. A.ltgeld fell into a dead
faint as he was walking from the
stage. Physicians were quickly sum
moned. Restoratives applied and, after
much effort Mr. Altgeld regained con
sciousness. Later it was announced
that he was out of danger.
The physicians diagnosed the attack
as the result of stomach trouble, and
did not think heart weakness was pri
marily to blame.
ASSAULTED A CHINAMAN.
Augusta Negroes Pat One in Shape
, for the Hospital.
Augusta, March 11.—Lou Choy, a
Chinaman,- who runs a small grocery
store at the corner of Wild and Walk
er streets, was attacked in his store
to-night and severely bealten by two
or three young negroes. He was gash
ed about the face aind neck and he had
to be sent to the hospital. The ne
groes are known and the police are
after them. It is claimed by the fa
ther of two of ‘the negroes that one of
his sons and the Chinaman fought
about a piece of meat. The police think
it was a bold attempt at robbery.
AN EVENTFUL DAY
AVlien Coffee Left the Household.
“I never began to use coffee until
after I began teaching school, then a
good motherly old dame served such
nice coffee that she got me into the
way of drinking it.
Inside of a year I became a wreck
from insomnia and nervous prostration.
Every afternoon I was so drowsy and
filled with apprehension that I would
have crying spells without knowing
why.
I laid around the house in misery,
and was a misery to every one else.
Once in a while a friend would tell mi©
that coffee was the cause of my trou
ble. I reasoned with them that I only
had one cup at breakfast and that
was not enough to cause the trouble,
but I found that that was the secret—
that one cup of coffee.
It was an eventful day in our house
hold when I quit coffee and started
n\aking Postum. I followed the direc
tions and the result was wonderful; no
other words express It. The Postum
Coffee was of a rich, beautiful color,
and when cream was added looked as
delicious as it tasted.
A doctor who was in the house tasted
the Postum and said that it was equal
to the best Mocha or Java, then quickly
turned away as though it was Incom
prehensible. He suspected there was
coffee in it, but I have been assured
of the absolute purity of the Postum
and have confidence in It.
Nothing ever tasted better to me
than that first, well-made cup of Pos
tum, and never since have I tasted
coffee, and I now look back with'hor
ror upon the sickness it caused. We
began, very quickly, to see the differ
ence between my condition under Pos
tum and under common coffee. I lost
that feeling of despair and restlessness
which oppressed me every afternoon,
and I began to sleep like a baby. Pos
tum must be given credit for all my
improvement.
A word about tea also. One time
when I was visiting I had a package of
Postum with me. It gave out and be
fore I could get another I had tea for
breakfast. Within a few days the old
wretched feeling that coffee used to
give me came back, and all through the
long afternoon I felt that I must weep
and weep though really over nothing
at all.
Insomnia came back, but I quickly
quit the tea and got all right again.”

BOSTON’S STRIKE GROWING.
NEARLY 6,000 MEN ORDERED OUT
YESTERDAY.
This Makes the Total of Idle Men
10,000 With Prospect of Large In
crease To-lny—Should the Boston
Central Union Endorse the Strike
Almost All Business Would Be
I’nrnl) zed—Mayor Collins Invokes
Aid of National Civic Federation.
Boston, Mass., March 11. —The second
day of the great strike of organized
labor against the demands, of railroad
and steamship companies that mer
chandise delivered at freight depots
by the R. S. Brine Transportation
Company be not discriminated against,
found large additions to ’the ranks of
the strikers. Nearly 6,000 union men
were ordered out to-day, bringing the
grand total of idle men up to about
16,000 with the prospect of still greater
increase to-imorrow.
One of the most important develop
ments of the day was the ordering out
of the longshoremen at the
docks of the Philadelphia and
Metropolitan Steamship Companies,
in consequence of which ves
sels of those lines were compelled
to depart with only partial cargoes,
while the wharves are partially filled
with the freight which the men re
fused to handle. Other docks are In
similar condition, and business is
practically tied up there.
The members of the General Teams
ters’ Union, comprising 1,400 brick,
sand, lime and cement teamsters, also
went out this afternoon, which vir
tually ties up the building trades by
depriving them of material with which
to work.
A strong effort has been made to
induce the Boston Central Labor
Union, which is composed of ninety
affiliated trades of all descriptions,
to officially indorse the strike by or
dering out all members and that
body has the matter under consider
ation. The effect of such action would
be to paralyze business of all kinds.
The Central Labor Union has thus
far taken no part in the fight.
The state board of arbitration to-day
had before it President Cox, and the
Strike Committee of the allied Freight
Transportation Council, but no way of
settlement could be agreed upon. Tills
committee also waited upon Mayor Col
lins, where the serious condition of
affairs was discussed, and he promised
his best efforts to effect an understand
ing between the parties at Issue. Deem
ing the situation sufficiently grave to
warrant his taking- such action, Mr.
Collins sent a telegram to Hon. M.
A. Hanna at Washington, asking that
the National Civic Federation, of
whose Executive Committee Mr. Han
na Is chairman, should Interest itself
in the matter and endeavor to effect
a settlement by arbitration.
6,000 More to Strike To-day.
Labor unions having a membership
of over 6,000 men, voted to-night to
strike, and will to-morrow morning,
join the army of unemployed. The or
ganizations include the Coal Teamsters'
Union, Lumber Teamsters, Wool Han
dlers, Expressmen, Longshoremen, the
Freight Handlers and Freight Clerks'
Union, men employed by the Boston
and Maine Railroad, and 25 switchmen
employed in the yards of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
This will Increase the number of strik
ers to between 20,000 and 25,000 men,
and practically tie up all the freight
business of all railroads and steamship
companies in the city. All the meet
ings to-night were largely attended,
and scarcely a trace of opposition to
a strike was manifested at any of them.
BANK TELLER A DEFAULTER.
Portland. Me., Mna Confesses to a
Shortage of $4:1,000.
Portland, Me., March 11.—Granville
W. Leighton, teller of the National
Traders' Bank of this city, is under ar
rest, a self-confessed defaulter to the
extent of $43,000. To-night the bank
officials would make no statement fur
ther than that Leighton had made over
to the institution all his real estate
and other property and that this, to
gether with his bond, will make good
the loss sustained by the bank.
The detection of the defalcation was
brought about by the discovery of an
apparent error in Leighton’s books
this afternoon. When pressed for an
explanation, the teller broke down and
made a complete confession, stating
that his speculations extended back
over a period of several months and
would reach a total of $43,000. It is
said that Leighton’s trouble is due to
unsuccessful business ventures.
