November 17, 1903, Tlic special ?es«ion of the 58th Congress, called by the President for the purpose of working the Cu ban reciprocity proposition is now in session. The opening of Congress wa? very much like the opening of any Congress that lias preceded it. The republican program went through as stated. '"Uncle Joe" Cannon elected speaker according t schedule, and the Hon. John Sharp Williams, cf Mississippi, was tlu nominee of the democratic part) as predicted in this correspondence •way last spring. As the defeated candidate for Speaker, Mr. Wil lianu was placed on tl:e committee to escort in the new Speaker and his speech introducing the new Speaker to the Mouse of Represen tatives was the most graceful thing that has teen heard on the floor of the House for many jears. The daily papers all over the count r\ commented 011 it as such. Mr. Williams has already mafle good the predictions of his friends that he is the ni: n for the position of flooi leader of the House on tin democratic side. lie has had ll:t good sense, as his friends knew lie would have, to give hi.> chief oppo nent, the Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri, the appciiutmeut on tin Wavs and Means Committee, imi of the highest honors that can c» me to a democrat. Mr. Williams not only showed his generosity by this Hit hi* jyvd «en c e as well, for Mr. Clark it one of the ablest demon at- 111 tlu Congress, and can ou effective work against the re publican party in that position Mr. Williams net enly has d»n tM?: he also has placed Hon Dtiviu A. DeArmoiwl, 01 Missouri, one ol the ablest men in public life to-day. 011 the couuuiilee ou rules with himself. That is the most imj or tant ccmmi't'e : n the House, for it controls all legislation emanating from the Hon-*, ptid con troll-, ah debates He will tie absolute!) in - to the party and to Mr Williams iu the debates that wil. cnric • ff this \v ; ntcr Mr. Will.am h's also placed the Hon. James T Lloyd, of Missouri, back in his old plaee as the democratic "whip" of tlie HeUse. That is au honorable and respon sible position, for the "whip" of the House has to see to it that a oiijoritv of the mem'ers in the city are in their seats and vo»'np 011 any propusitiuu in which is involved the jwirty policy. Mr. I.loyd »»« for Mr.Clark again t Mi Williams, and this action of Mr Williams nor only wa« just and good ens*, bat it was generous as w>U. H. b»s thus jus'ified the prediction ui his friends that lie was big enough to lead the uiiiioiitv to things they can hoa>t of in the mxt canipiign As I have j revi' uslv remarked in thi.- coif.tspot.dei ce. the democracy cat; he (ouinattiUui. on tlte feadet ship it p»»*-«-sses in the-Hom-e *or the u«xt two years.

'1 bat is the\liuie-h"iiot«d J; function ot drawing seats 101 lb. MMii«ii. A |Mg« is biiiMiiotavd :itiH be inui* out i a Lux a uiarLic with a nuiuber on it. and tLere tr a ber. Both are called out and the member then goes down and selects his seat. There was much applause when certain men were called out. For instance, there was a resolu tion adopted tbat gave the floor leader of the republican side, the Hon. Sereno Pnyne. of Ntw York, and the oMest member on that side of the IIou?e, the Hon. Harry Bingham, of Pennsylvania, the floor leader of the Democratic side. 'the Hon. John Sharp Williams, of Tennessee, the right to choose their seat* without drawing for them, fbcre was much applause when they went forward ar.d chose their seat-. Then Qhc names of promi nent men on both sides of the House were called out, and as they went down the aisles to get their seats theie went up the plaudits of their friends. Among the number on tlie democratic side who were recognized in this manner were Hon. George B. McClcllan, lately elected the democratic Mayor of Greater New York, and the Hon. William Randolph Hearst, of New York, who has done so much for the cause of democracy and the common people of the country. He received an ovation that must have warmed the cockles in his heart, for it is the univeral opinion here that he and his papers, with himself as the directing democratic head, won the recent election in the cty of New York. The democrats all feel very kindly to him for his work for the party, and they im proved the opportunity to show him their marked appreciation of llis brilliant work in behalf of de mocracy. He has recived marked attention troin democrats here since the as sembling of Congress. Some of the party leaders here are beginning to tlnd ott( that he is a much bigger man than they thought; that he was not merely a newspaper man who had made a phenomenal suc cess of the business, but that the reason he made tlie.sticcess was be cause he was an able executive, a single-minded patriot, ami a lover of the common people. As a con sequence his stock as the nominee of the democracy for the presidency has gone up several points. * * It is top early to predict what the fights will !>e in this Congress, but the fight 011 the Cuban recip rocity proposition is fioing to be a bitter one. There will nut be as many republican recalcitrants in this Congress as there was in the last on that proposition, for the reason, n stated in this correspon dence not long ago. that the Trust has Inuiglit out the 1 tel sugar interests and that ha* clt sed the mouth* of many republicans who othi 1 wise would lie opj>«sed to '"''than reciprocity. There are some, however, who stdl hold out against it, ami ttiev will hue up with the democrats and tight it unless the> w ill ailow the iler.octatic aim nd ment to go through removing the d (Tereutial from refined sugar. Tl e democrats are -perfectly « 'llii.g to give Cuba all the reciprocity she aiks for or give her free trade with this coi.utiy, piovtucd thej can re move the eiilkietuial fiotu refined sugar which w ill give the consum ers of this country a chance. This is exactly what the Sugar Trust does not want. With reciprocity with Cuba on raw sugar to the ex tern of a tweu'.y five j-ei Cent, re duction ou the- pieseut tanff. and retaining the differential ou refined sugui, the Trust makes not less than eight millions a year out of the game That is the milk iu the co co.inut. It is a straight be tween the people and the Sugai Tiust. M atch the game. a * a To the intense delight of th« democratic leadeis 11 ejf % _thejfc-pnl» lican administration has actualU tied up in a nice package nrd hanu jed to the democracy another aiwl u corking good can'|>iign issue i». this dirty mess in the Pamnia country. It is the tieliet here nut only uuioug democrats, hut many good republicans, that the rccer.t iev ■lut >n in the Uli't d St ites of ColomMn in Cent- 1 America, was lutein d in thi« coun try and ct the in.-tigntion of tin.* rt publican ndtniiist'ation in order to get control of the Panama canal In other words, the game put U| in the Senate to get the UKUIIUC. out ot those Panama canal bond* has got to go through at any tost This it publican aiiniinistratiou plays into their liauus and ii cite* iri\oiuiion down there and robs I that l.ttle cotiuiry of a slice of it terr iiorv iu ordt t to give the rena |j ikl u.Uic iu nkn| Jiow arc they going to get way from the imputation that they are respon sible for thin revolution ? If they are not, then there must be some expert mind-readers in the Navy Department, for no sooner had the first rumblings of this trouble be tween Colombia and one of its stttes been wafted over the earth than this country had several na val vessels at the proper point in a jiffy in order to put backbone into] the revolutionists and to intimidate the Colombian forces. Then this I government makes haste to "recog nize" the new Republic of Panama, ft is an infernal outrage and a nat ional disgrace. I will explain it all in my uext letter.
