BRADFORD W Paragon Building -ys REAI EST HIGH TENSION IN CONGRESS j MUDDLE CAUSEP BY OVERRIDING COMMITTEE ONJCUBAN RECIPROCITY. Chairman PayhnjecilK, Z surgents have Caused a pe v suit Beyond their Intentions. FORTIFICATIONS BILL PAQCPTt PV tut? rrriTTCT?J i . j CONFERENCE ORDERED ON THE CHINESE EXCLUSION BILLS THE URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL NOW; IN PRESIDENTS HANDS. Washington, April 19. High tension was manifested among the members of the houee today as a result of the ac- tion of the house in overriding the ways ituus means committee on the Cuban reciprocity bill. Chairman Payne took the reverse philosophically. He pointed out that the effect of the amendment was to take off not only the differential on sugar, but also the countervailing duty , prowaea ty the Dingley law, a result not intended "by the author of the amendment. Under the Dingley act, an additional, countervailing duty is levied on sugars -coming from countries paying a bounty on sugar, equal in amount to the bounty received. This is by section 5 of the Dingley act and is a provision separate from that mak ing a differential between' the duty on raw and refined sugar. Mr. Payne holds, however, that as the amendment specifies that the rate of 1,825 cents shall be "in lieu of duties thereon how provided 0y law," it takes off both the differential of about 12 cents a ' huD ! dred pounds and the countervailine duty of the Dingley law amounting o between 26 and 27 cents a hundred pounds." I Representative Morris, of Minnesota, who framed the amendment, is exam- lining the Dingley and otber laws to.de- . tormina wVr(ihaTV TVTt, TPq tttq' ivihwt' li , -rr. vwv - .ngoa. mr.- jviornaaici tn-at irom nis jfinquiry so far he did not -think the claim was good, but if it was, the mat- I ter could easily be remedied by amend ment. The senate is by no means decided as to what it will do with the bill. The measure reached the senate a few min utes after that body convene! today and was received with exceptional in terest, which was made evident by the private comments of senators. The bill goes to the committee on re lations with Cuba, -which is composed of seven republicans and four opposi tion senators, Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, being chairman. Being- asked today if he felt disposed to outline his view of the probable course of the committee with reference to the measure, Senator Piatt declined to say more than that a meeting would be called -at an early ( date to decide upon a course of action, 1 merely adding, "We are not going to lose our composupei, but will consider fthe question carefully." The best opinion is that the bill will remain in committee for some time and a republican senator suggested the pos sibility of an investigation into the question of the probable beneficiaries under the proposed reduction if made. If the bill had passedxthe house with out an amendment removing the differ ential oh refined sugar, it would have received the support of two of the four opposition members of the commis sions. These are Messrs. Money end Simmons and they are now more than ever pleased with it. On the other hand at least two of the republican members, Messrs. McMillan and Spooner, oppose the bill. The indications are that the democratic strength of the committee will now be thrown to the support of the differential amendment. Hence it seems probable that the character of NEW LINE SCREENS.

Senator Tefller says he will support any action calculated to kill the Wil to the senate and he is inclined! to think that the house adoption of the amend ment for the removal of the differential will have that effect. f There are not a few senators mho predict that the bill will be allowed jo die in committee. ' m In the house today Mr. G-roavenQ jOhio) took occasion to talk on the ac 'ion of the house yesterday oil - tbe Cuban reciprocity bill. He said that the differential on a-efined sugar, had been placed in the Dingley bill against the protest of the Sugar trust and ajt the request of the beet sugar producers-. He said the beet sugar men had over reached themselves. In order to ac complish the humiliation of certain members of the house they had not only struck off the differential on sugar, toutl also the countervailing duty on iboua?- ty'-produced sugar. Referring to what might occur in the senate he said if the action of the house by the vote of the democrats and the controlling factor ill the house, then beet sugar republicans had made it impossible for the senat to remove the differential amendment' woum oe accused or favoring tne sugar trust. He said that the Morris amend ment obviated the necessity of coast defenses, for no country would be-likely to go to war with the United States after congress had reduced the duty on .those who voted the Morris amendment knew what they were doing the voting was aimed to destroy the beet sugur industry.

Weeks, "and we believe that it is kilted an that if it ever comes back from the senate its irienas win not 'De aDie ,jqs recognize it." r Mr. Cannon stated that if the senate dealt with the bill as Mr. Weeks sug gested the house would in due time; and in its own way deal with the amended measure. Mr. Cannon's re- marks put the house in good humor and brought the discussion back tp the fortification bill.

At the conclu sion of routine business today the sen ate agreed to a conference asked for by the house on the Chinese exclusion bill. The chair, Mr. Frye, said that he felt bound to appoint conferees who would represent the majority sentiment of the senate. He named Messrs. Piatt, of Connecticut; Dillingham of Ver mont, and Clay, of Georgia. Among the measures passed were the following:" Granting permission for the erection of a monument or statue in Washing ton, D. C-, to the memory and in honor of . the late Benjamin F. Stephenson, founder of the Grand Army of the Re public. To confer jurisdiction on the court of claims to render judgment for the principal and interest in actions to re coved duties collected by the military authorities of the United States upon articles imported into Porto Rico from the several states between April 11, 1899, and May 1, 1900.

New York, April 19. The plan of J. Pierpont Morgan to combine all the leading trans-Atlantic steamship lines, mention of which was made in the Laffan bureau's dispatches some weeks ago has .Deeni consummated, .uonaon dispatches announcing the combination were today confirmed at the Morgan banking house. The companies to be consolidated will, it is understood, include the American and Red Star lines. White Star line, Dominion line, Atlantic Transport and the Leyland lines. The two last la'ned have been under Morgan control for some time. Probable additions to hi list are the Cunard, Wilson and Holland-American companies and it is un derstood that a "working agreement" will be reached with the other leading companies, including the North German Lloyd, Hamburg-American, General Trans-Atlantic (French), Allan and Anchor lines. Just what the capitalisation of the company will be is not as yet known, but the amount is likely to be well in excess of $150,000,000. This phase of the project will depend entirely upon the number 'of steamship lines taken into the combine. One of the most interesting features of the Dlan deals with the subsidy question. The White Star and Cunerd lines receive liberal subsidies from -he British government. These subsidies would be withheld or abrogated if the ships of these lines changed their flag from British to American. Because of this, the ships of the White Star, Cu nard and the English subsidized com panies will doubtless continue nominal ly under Brit4sh control. G. W. Perkins, of J. P. Morgan & Co., is authority for the statement that American interests will dominate the proposed amalgamation and declares the result will prove not only a great triumph for Mr. Morgan, but will mak the United States the real ruler of tht merchant marine of the world. "It is true," he added, "that Mr. Mor gan will act as syndicate manager in this combination, just as he brought to- Choice Building Site ON MONTFORD AVE.

The financial details have 'been com pleted to the extent that the cash necessary for the deal has been sub scribed. It is too soon to speak about the directorate, but let it be borne in mind that control of the company will be held here." It is taken as a matter of course that the interests now prominent in the va rious steamship lines will be taken into the consolidated directory. Banking interests identified with the proposed underwriting syndicate said that the new company would have a New Jersey charter. They thought that no very great amount of cash con tributions would be required from the underwriting syndicate, but were reti cent as to how far the owners of un derlying companies had the option to take new stock or cash. The Roths childs, they added, were to be among the underwriters. TRICK BICYCLE RIDER GETS A HARD FALL TRYING TO RIDE LOOP AT MADI SON SQUARE GARDEN ON LY AN ANKLE SPRAINED. New York, April 19. Harry R. Pol lay, a trick bicycle rider of Syracuse, today essayed to duplicate the act of Performer Diavolo, who rides a bicycle on a loop built high- Jn the air at Sells and Forepaw's circus at Madison Square garden. Pollay went first into gallery and got on a platform leading to the runway. He came down the incline on his bi cycle at a high rate speed and passed up into the loop. As he reached the top of the loop his wheel wobbled and left the path. Pollay was then head down and 23 feet from the ground. After wobbling the wheel turned toward the outer edge and plunged into the air, hurling him a distance of 30 feet. He fell with' his wheel on the inclined path leaning to the loop. The force of the fall broke the planks of the path. Whea he was picked up it' was found he hadi one sprained ankle and had a number of bruises and cuts on the body. He said he did not lose his nerve, but attributed the accident to his wheel wobbling. He said he learned by his experience tnat a reijow must remem ber he is upside down, circling the loop. He added: "If I had thought of that I would have wiggled the wheel the Other way, and not got out of the loop." He says he will try again.
