Washington, April 9. Before the de- Date unon the Cuban reciprocity bill i was resumed in the house today, Mr. Olmstead (Pa.) presented the report on the contested election case of Fow- er vs. Thomas, from the Third North Coralina district, The report is in fa- for of Thomas. Mr. Henry (Conn.) asked unanimous consent to disagree to the senate amendment . to the oleomargarine bill, but Mr. Bichardson (Tenn.) obiected and the bill rent to the committee on agriculture. The house then went into committee of the whole and the Cuban reciprocity bill was taken up. William Alden Smith (Mich.) was the first speaker. He spoke against the bill. He presented the question from the view point of the republicans who have opposed Cuban reciprocity on ac count of the beet sugar interests. He said in tpart: "I would not for anything have you believe that . we, who for two months have been battling for what we believe to be right, were animated by any hostility or unfriend liness toward the island of Cuba. We have always aided and sustained her in her struggle for independence. We glory in her approaching sovereignty. But we must not forget that while we may sympathize with Cuba, our hrst duty is toward our own people and everything that tends to strengthen and develop - our multiplied resources at or American industries, with especial reference to the establishment of the beet sugar industry as a rival of the sugar trust, which he said refined and controlled 92 er cent Of the cane su gar. "The farmers of the country," he went on, "have been encouraged by the republican party in their ambition to produce the sugar of the country. It was a distinct promise to the farmer that the republican party would not per mit the' cheap labor and cheap sugar of any tropical territory to be brought in in a manner whih wmiiA Hootrm; I the infant industry of the foeet sugar production which the farmers of the United States have under the fostering care of the republican party been building up during the last few years.

Mr. Smith maintained that the sugar trust would be the 'beneficiary of the reduction and not the Planters. In the course of Mr. Smith's speech, Mr. Underwood of Alabama, asked Mr. Smith if he would vote to take the dif ferential off of refined sugars coining from Cuba. Mr. Smith replied that no refined sugar came from Cuiba, and in turn he asked Mr. Underwool if ihe democratic side would vote to overrule the chair and join in voting to take the differential off the sugar of the world. After some discussion, during which Mr. Underwood showed disposition to evade the question, in response to the prompt support of democratic mem bers, he finally said the mater would offer an opportunity to vote upon the proposition to take the differential off the sugar of the world. "If there is," observed Mr. Smith, l will watch your vote w'tb great in terest .
