LEONARD WOOD’S FOES
WAGING A BITTER FIGHT
Washington, November 17.—The house
today resumed consideration of the Cu
ban bill. The only notable incidents of
the day were the speeches of Mr. Stevens,
a republican member from Minnesota,
who spoke in opposition to the bill, and
the speech of Mayor-elect McCitHpu, of
New York.
Mr. Stevens opposed the measure for
reciprocity with Cuba at the last session.
Today he argued ths the bid was a
“cruel blow’’ at one of the most promis
ing agricultural industries of this coun
try and that the measure will imperil
our foreign trade.
Mr. McClellan delivered his valedictory
to the house, making an argument in
favor of the bill, during the. course of
which he criticised the administration of
General Wood in Cuba. Four hours
were devoted today to debate on the
measure, ten members speaking. Under
the rule two days more are given for
speeches.
Mr M-Clellan si id there was an ar
gument in favor of the enactment of
the bill which rose above all others ami
Involved the duty and the honor of the
United States.
“As we have made it impossible for
Cuba," said Mr. McClellan, “to seek
alliances elsewhere, it Is a du*y wo
ca'.mvt shirk to permit her to enter Into
tin closest political and commercial re
tailor with us. lie said the liberal con
st made by Cuba in the treaty
“should certainly permit the United
States to obtain virtual monopoly of the
Cuban market.’’
In ■''iirse of his remarks, Mr. Mo
del la n :• id:
i .vo years ago. Cuba was >n the verge
of ■ kruptcy and that site has escaped
t not due to any effort on our part.
That she has been able to exist at all
flaring the last two years is because of
two reasons. First, the change in her
government. Second, the marketing of
nn increased amount of tobacco and
sugar.
McClellan Attacks Wood.
’ln 1902 the spectacular and extrava
gant rule ci General Wood, having sad
died upon Havana for ten years, the in
famous gambling monopoly of the jai
aiai’ gave place to ’the conscrvativ ”,
economical, sensible and business-like ad
ministration of President Extra la Palma,
who has proved himselt an executive of
the very highest order.”
After quoting figures, Mr. McClellan
said;
In other words, under President Palma,
the cost of government is over ueven
million dollars less per annum than It
was under General Wood.
In conclusion, Mr. McClellan said:
“And now, at last, after years of wait
ing. after the spectacle of an insolent
. ... practically dominating the con-
gress. we propose to partially fulfill our
pledge to Cuba by giving her this two
penny measure of'rvlivf, that is warrant

gratulate the republicans that light was
breaking in on them. Speaking of the
rule cutting off amendments to the bill,
Mr. ('lark said the probability is that
the democrats will control the next house
and elect the next president, adding:
“The more of these Ironclad rules yon
ram down our throats the moro you will
have rammed down yours.”
Mr. Clark then quoted what ho termed
republican battle cries.
"Your Uncle Mark invented 'let well
enough alone.’ He afterward converted
i this into ‘stand pat.’ and then the able
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, Mr. Payne, added a little 'keep
on letting well enough alone,’ and then,
when your Uncle Mark was being
punched over the ropes out In Ohio by
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Senator
Foraker, he added, 'for God's sake, let's
keep on letting well enough alone.’ "
Messrs. Macon, Arkansas; Thomas,
North Carolina; Hughes, New Jersey, on
the democratic side, spoke in favor of the
bill.
Grosvenor Attacks Cleveland.
Washington, November 18.—The oppo
sition to the Cuban bill was heard in the
house today and in vigorous speech The
f-atur-H of the day were the speeches
of Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who opened
i the dii'ussion in advocacy of the bill,
. and of Mr. Fordney (republican), of Mich
j iff an, who spoke in opposition.
j Mr. Grosvenor spoke for more than an
j hour, during which time he w'as fre
i quently Interrupted by questions, ema-
I nating from the democratic side. 'Mr.
, Fordney and two of hi.- r<.puijlican col
leagues from Michigan spoke in opposi
tion to the bill. Mr. Fordney emphati
cally expressed his disapproval of the
measure. Among others who .--poke in
opposition to the bill were Messrs. Shar
roth. Colorado; Burgess, Texas, and Bell,
California, democrat;, and Messrs. Mc-
Morran and Loud, the latter two repub
licans from Michigan.
The debate will close tomorrow and n
vote will be taken not later than 4 p. m.
Mr. Grosvenor observed that nothing
• would be more destructive titan to have
the democrats come into power, but that
was an impossibility for the next two
years.
Replying to the remarks of Mr. Swan
son, of Virginia, he said there need be
no fear of r< taliation from a country
which could not live ninety days with
out purchasing food supplies from the
outside.
Answering a statement made by Mr.
Ciark. of Missouri, as to conditions ex
isting when Mr. Cleveland went In as
president, Mr. Grosvenor said:
“Immediately upon the election of
Cleveland, there was practically a sup
pression ot the income of the revenues
ol the government into the treasury of
the United States. It was natural; it
was Inevitable. It would happen again
if somebody other than Roosevelt should
be elected president next year.”
While speaking of the prospects for
the democratic party Mr. Clark, of Mis
souri. asked if Mr. Grosvenor knew that
of the nineteen men convicted in St.,
Louis sixteen were republicans.
“I don’t know/’ replied Mr Grosvenor.
I "but if that is true, it don't speak well
for the fairness of the administration of
justice.” Louu applaui', followed on tho
republican side.
Mr. Grosvenor, replying to the state
ment of Mi Clark, of Missouri, as to
the probability of the democrats gaining
control ot the next congress and ejecting
tie next president, said he would show
what th" result would be. The demo
crats, he d. Wo ild carry Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi Missouri, North Carolina,
Smith Carolina. !’■ urcssie, Toxas and
Virginia.
I Mr. Sulzer (New York)—“And you
I might add Now York.”
| Mr. Grosvenor—“l might add Ohio, but
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION! ATLANTA. GA-, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1903.
I won't." (Laughter on republican side.)
Fie said the democrats would find some
fighting ground in Delaware, and possi
bly Maryland, he said, was in doubt;
Montana somewhat doubtful.
“I put New York in this column against
my own Judgment,’’ he said, adding that
if the democrats do not carry New York
by double the vote given McClellan, they
would be defeated in that state.
He said this gave the democrats 151
votes, and 69 doubtful. He then named
the following ns republican states: Cali
fornia. Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois,
Indiana, lowa. Kansas, Maine, Michigan,
Minnesota. Massachusetts. Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, North
Dakota, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, ’ South Dakota, Vermont, Wash
’ ington. West Virginia. Wisconsin. Wyom
ing, with a total of 263 votes.
Answering Mr. Swanson’s statements
as to retaliation by Russia. Great Britain
and other countries. Mr. Grosvenor said
we will take care of Russia, saying she
is our friend; and also take care of Eng
land. remarking that she has good sense.
South’s Cotton and Cuba.
Mr. Richardson, of Alabama, said the
benefit to the cotton industry of the
south, which will result from the 40 per
cent reduction on the cotton goods
schedule in the Cuban treaty, was the
reason for his support. There are other
interests involved in the treaty besides
sugar. The south, lie said, had increased
the number of her cotton spindles in the
last two years three times the increase of
spindles in Great Britain and New Eng
land combined. Commercial expansion of
our foreign trade Is what we need and
must have. The isthmian canal is our
earnest hope.
Mr. Fordney reviewed the history of the
beet sugar industry, pointing out how it
would be Injured by tho passage of tho
bill. Continuing, he said:
“Some one has said that it makes no
diff'eri nee whether you put this measure
into law or not. If that is so, why was
E F. Atkinson, of Boston, here nearly
two ytars ago? Why was tlial?"—(Here
Mr. Fordney used adjectives which are
considered libelous In most newspapers.)
“Thurber here; been here, as he has,
sneaking around this capitol ev; r since
I have been in congress—who afterwards
admitted that he was paid by the sugar
trust and li' d when before the committee
on wavs ajid means, when the gentleman
from 'Minnesota (Mr. Thawney) asked
him if lie had received any money trom
Havemcver. of the sugar trust, in any
wav shape or manner, and he said no;
but a’few days later when placed upon
oath b." testified that he had received
mom' v trom Havemeycr, and he also tes
tified that h" had received money direct
ly fcom Major General Mood, military
governor of Cuba.”
Fordney Attacks Wood.
Mr Fordney said ho wanted to criti
cise Major General Wood, for it had been
proved that he had extracted from
“those poor starving Cubans” $20,000
which he had paid to Thurber to Influ
ence legislation. , , , „
"Oh what action by a high official,
continued Mr. Fordney.
“He claimed that the Cubans were
starving and then reached his long fin
gers into the Cuban treasury ami hand
ed out $20,C00 to tills and here
Mr. Fordney called names which might
be considered libelous uttered anywhere
save in congress.
Mr. Fordney said General Wood had
testified before a senate committee that
he had searched the whole island and
that all the sugar he could find that be
longed to the trust was 3,285 tons.
”A few days later Mr. Havemyer tes
t fp'd that the trust had 93,000 tons of
sugar in Cuba. Wood only missed it by
ninetv thousand tons.”
Mr.'Burgess, democrat, of Texas, char
acterized the bill as an outrage and said
his party could not hope for success
nt the polls next year if it continued
the policy <>f making tariff agreements
■ a -’feeting the agricultural and stock in
terests of the country.
Reading an extract from an article
written by Thomas B. Reed, Mr. Bur
si ’ Tiffs I 'simply means, stripped of all
verbiage and the bare, facts stated, that
$20,000 was appropriated from the Cu
ban funds on vouchers issued by Leon
a:.l Wood. ii,J"r-eil by the war depart
ment of this administration, reciting on
their faces that they were for the pur
pose of influencing public opinion in Hie
United States in favor of this bill.”
Fig’ht on Wood Is Bitter.
Washington, November 19.—The inquiry
of the senate committee on military as
fairs into the opposition to the contlrma
! tion of the nomination of General Leon
i aid Wood to be major general in the
j army was begun today behind closed
! doors. Before closing the doors there were
exchanges of opinion concerning the pro
priety of making the proceedings public.
The point was raised by Senator Quarles
and several other members of the com
mittee, all of them taking the position
that as all ot the business was executive
In character t4>e committee had no right
to make it public without first securing
an order from the senate.
Senator Scott made a plea for open ses
’ slons during the hearing, basing his con
' tention on the ground ol gem. ral public,
i interest.
| “It will all be In the evening papers
■ any way, ’* he said, “and I think it bet
i ter to have an authorized report than try
i to hide the proceedings.”
I When the doors were closed the cont
; miltee decided to proceed today in ex-
I ecutive session and that the proceedings
i will nos be made public.
j In addition to the members of the com
mittee and the newspaper men Senators
Teller and Hanna and Major Estfs G.
Hathnone were present, the three last
named being prepared to present objec
tions to General Wood's confirmation. It
was stated no charges had yet been filed
against the general, but Senator Proctor,
who presided, said he understood Major
Rathbone would present such charges.
At today's session Senator Teller said
he objected, to General Wood because of
the Injustice that was being done to the
army by his promotion.
Senator Hanna said that the action of
General Wood in the Rathbone case was
of a character to show his unfitness for
high .ommand. Both statements were
v ry general in terms.
Senator Hanna's statement dealt espe
cially with his active interest in be
half of Mr. Rathbone, when he was un
der prosecution lor malfeasance in office
as diri ctor of posts for Cuba In 1900 and
in subsequent years. 11. said that Gen
eral Wood’s requirement that Rathbone
should give a cash bond of $25,000 in
American gold when he was first arrest
ed was beyond all reason. In view of the
fact that the amount he was charged
with misappropriating was only about
$4,000, and he contended that a man who
would be so unjust and so unfair under
the circumstances should not be intrusted
with high command. He also spoke of
hi.- long acquaintance with Major Rath
bone, and reiterated his confidence in his
integrity.
Senator Teller said that he had known
Major Rathbone for many years, and
from his knowledge of him. both in pub
lic and private life, he felt the major
had been unjustly treated under the di
re Jons of General Wood, lie then took
up the question of the promotion of Gen
eral Wood, and went into details to show
that he had been pressed forward in
"an unprecedented manner.” He said
that from tile time of the beginning of the
Cuban war. when General Wood was a
surgeon with the rank of captain, he
had been lifted over rhe heads of almost
five bundled other officers, of whom half
bad r-een service In the civil war.
Senator I’roetor. acting chairman of the
military eominittee, has requested the
secretary of war to send to the commit
tee the military record of General Wood,
for its use in connection with the nom
ination. The committee will meet tomor
row t,> continue its Inquiry ns to General
Wood.

Rathbone Attacks Wood.
Major Estes G. Rathbone, formerly di
rector of the posts in Cuba, was given
a hearing today, and reiterated the

Major Rathbone charged that in ac-
CeTffi ng gifts from the organization com

Rheumatism
M V THE dread of winter.
The coming of winter, with its icy winds, damp, foggy weather, and sudden changes
in temperature, will set the old rheumatic joints to aching and the muscles to throbbing and
twitching with such pains as only Rheumatism can inflict. Chronic sufferers need no better

They know from experience how the damp, easterly winds and night air increase their
misery and rob them of restful sleep. Rheumatism is always worse in winter. Cold and
dampness are exciting causes; they affect the circulation, stop perspiration, and the poi
sonous acids in the blood, no longer able to escape through the pores, settle upon the
nerves and tender linings of the joints and muscles, causing inflammation and swelling

to another, and from joint to joint, and frequently strike the delicate machinery of the heart
or some other vital spot. Rheumatism is never permanently cured till the blood has been
purified and the sluggish system aroused to better action ; and this is exactly what S. S. S.
does. It thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the system by neutralizing the. acids
and expelling from the system all acrid matter. S. S. S.
warms, enriches and invigorates the blood, improves the
g s circulation and builds up and nourishes the weak, diseased
nerves. S. S. S. acts also as a tonic, and as the general
health improves, rheumatic pains are felt less often and
gradually cease altogether. It is the thin, acid blood
that is so easily chilled by the cold and affected by every
ill-wind and change in the weather. Rheumatism and
bad blood are inseparable, you do not have one without the other, and the surest and
quickest way to get rid of Rheumatism is to restore the blood to a normal, healthy state.
S. S. S. is composed of both purifying and tonic properties, just what is required in every
case of Rheumatism. It contains no Potash, Alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is
guaranteed entirely vegetable.
If you have Rheumatism in any form, write us fully about it, and our physicians will
advise you without cost, and we will mail to your address our special book on Rheumatism,
containing helpful information to everyone suffering from this painful complaint.

fair.
Wood and the Jai Alai.
Browne was questioned also in re
gard to the charge that General Wood
knew tlie character of the Jai Alai when
he argued in favor of granting it a con
cession to operate.
When reference to this charge was
made by Mr. Browne, he was asked by
Senator Cockrell to substantiate his as
sertion.
He did so by directing attention to offi
cial publications In Havana newspapers
showing the nature of the Jal Alai's es
tablishments. These statements Includ
ed a copy of the company's by-laws, and
It was declared that these had been sup
pressed by General Wood in his state
ment to the war department concerning
the establishment.
The ground gone over by Mr. Browne
is covered ijj the general statement of
charges tiled with the committee by Ma
jor Rathbone. It is expected Mr. Browne
will again be called before the investi
gation is concluded.
After Mr. Browne left the committee
room, Major Rathbone resumed his
statement where he left off yesterday.
He was examined closely in regard to his
charges that General Wood used coercion
and undue Influence with the courts in
getting instructions which were unfa
vorable to Major Rathbone on bls trial
tn connection with the postal fraud-cases.

Root 'Praises Wood.
Secretary Root, in response to a re
quest from the military committee, has
| sent a report upon the military record
lof General Wood, It is a strong com
mendation of that officer. The secretary
reviews his career, pointing out that he
was first a lino officer and then became
a surgeon. When a surgeon, he asked
and obtained command of troops in the
Geronimo campaign, and in this connec
tion he appends letters of commentation
by General Miles and the late General
Lawton. He also points out General
Wood’s service during the Spanish war
and calls attention to the fact that he
had been five times named as a general
officer, twice as a brigadier general of
volunteers, once as a major general ot
volunteers, once as brigadier general in
the regular army and again as major gen
eral in the regular army. Secretary
Root in his letter, does not make any
reference or reply to the charges that
have been made against General Mood
as military governor ot Cuba.
“If General Wood were on trial for his
life he would not receive instructions
from the court more favorable than the
rulings which have been made by the
senate military committee in the conduct
of the present Investigation," said a
member tonight, when asked concerning
the methods used in dealing with the va
rious witnesses examined.
It is believed that the evidence will
go before the senate In executive ses
sion, and In event of a decision by the
committee favorable to General VV ood.

of the senate. In fact, notice of this
has been given to a member ot the

Conant’s Evidence.
The entire afternoon was occupied by
the committee in examining Mr. Conant.
In connection with the. alleged accept
ance. of presents from the Jal Alai by
General and Mrs. Wood, Mr. Conant told
of a telegram which was sent from
Havana to New York, while the granting
of a concession to the establishment was
pending. The story of the telegram was
told to Mr. Conant by G. Lawton Childs,
a shareholder in the Jal Alai. He said
that Pedro Galbls, secretary of the es
tablishment, went to New York to pur
chase a silver dinner set for General
Wood, and while there was ordered not
to make the Investment until notice of
the granting of the concession was print
ed in The Official Gazette, at Havana.
The concession was granted, a telegram
sent, and, according to Mr. Conant, the
purchase made at a cost ot $5,100. Aft
c< nrldera'ble di.A ussion, tlr committed

is dead, but it is said the telegram < in

cers who served in Cuba with Genera
Wood, but thus far no action has ’oe.ai

How Long Mosquitoes Live
(From Popular Science Monthly.)
It Is not known just how long mosqui
toes can live, but their average life is
much longer than Is ordinarily supp' s- d
Thousands of them live through winter,
hibernatin- or asleep in dark pl:u es in
barns or house cellars. In sparsely set
tled localities, where they "annot fin 1
such places for shelter, they live through
the winter in hollow trees, in caves and
holes under upturned trees; and, even
though the temperature may fall far
below freezing, they are not winter kill
ed, but on the approach of warm weather
become active again. Mosquitoes are fre
quently seen flying about In the woods
before the snow has wholly left the
ground. _____
