OPPOSITION TO THE , CUBAN jTARIFF TREATY. Amesdmests Uried by Senators to tbe Provisions Relstlst to' Tobacco - and Cattle, Also to Sugar. Br Ttlscraph to tbe Morning Btar. WASHisaToji. January 14. The Senate Commi;tee or Foreign Rela tions to-day agreed to recommend the adoption of an amendment to the Cu ban reciprocity treaty, providing that tbe reduction of twenty per cent, la the tariff on Cuban sugar shall not be further reduced by any preferential rte given to another country. This action was taken at the 1 staccj of the bel sugar men. To-day's meeting also served to de elop objections to other features of the traiy. Sonator Taliaferro, of Florida, made an argument before tbe eoujinute-, urging amendments to the provisions relating to tobacco and e ttle, aod Senators Bacon and Bailey, both Demosratio members of the o mmittee, indicated opposition to the treat on other grounds. Senator B e in i flared an amendment placing the Oubto treaty on trie same basis as otber reciiriKstiy treaties, with refer ence to in. Bouse of Representatives, but the amendment was not acted upon. Senator Bailey took positive ground against the policy of securing reciprocal relations witn other coun tries by maus of treaties. He said that aucb a course is unconstitutional, la lost it is an interference with tbe authority vented in tbe House of Rep resentatives to originate all tariff leg islation. The committee did not reach a vote on tbe motions made by Senator Bacon to strike out Article 0 of tbe treaty exempting American tobscoi from preferential rates given bv Cuba to American articles. It is ciaimrd tbat the adoption of the amendment relative to tbe reduction onrsugar will have the effect of in-itirlna- the support practically of all tbt Republican senators. Tne oppo sition to striking out the provision re garding tobacco was because of the plea on the part of the Cubans tbat under it American tobacco might be snipped to Cuba and then export-d mo that tslsod as Cuban tobacco. II Boaior Bacon's pending amendment abou d be adopted tbe treaty would not cm-come effective until it should be acted upon by tbe House. The amendment reads: "This treaty shall not Uke affect until the same shall have been approved by Congress." Senator Bacon was speaking in sup port of tbis amendment when tbe com mittee aoj urued. There will be an other meeting to-morrow. FIRE AT PENSACOLA, FLA. Bryaa Sanitarian Destroyed One of tbe lomstcs Darned to Death Several Others Injured One Fatally.

Providing for Rebate of Duty on All Importations of Coal " for One Year. BY ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE Aa Ameodmeat by the Seoste Which Practically Placed Aathraclte Coal oa the Free List Adopted by the Hoose-Otber Proceedlif . By Telegraph to the Horning star. Washington, Jan 14. The bill re ported from the Ways and Means Committee yesterday to provide for a rebate of the dutiea on foreign coal for a period of one year, waa passed in abort order by tbe House to-day by practically a unanimous vote 258 to 5 those voting against it being Messrs. Cushman and Jones of Washington, Gaines of West Virginia, Mondell of Wyoming and Patterson of Pennsyl vania, all Republicans. The bill waa considerd under the operation of a rule .which cut off opportunity to amend. The only opposition to the measure came from some of tbe mem bers representing coal States; who ex pressed the fear tbat tbe admission of tbe Chinese mined coal in Canada would injure tbe coal industry of their (States. Both Mr. Dalsell of Pennsyl vania and Mr. Payne of New York. tbe Republican leaders, expressed the opinion on tbe floor that tbe bill would nu relieve the existing distress. .Tney said it would sat isfy, however, public demand for action, and show tbe disposition of Congress to do what it could. The Democrats, although tbey all support ed the bill, took the view that it did not go far enough, saying that coal should go on the free list, and when tbe bill came back from the Senate with a provision which virtually placed anthracite coal on the free list, tbey applauded vigorously. Mr. Dal- sell in the course of his remarks to-day said that there was practically no an thracite coal in the world except tbat in the United States and a little in China. The Senate amendment waa adopted without division. uuring tne aeoate ur. mcaarason said when the stress of emergency came there was perforce a recourse to Democratic doctrine. Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, who followed Mr. Richardson, contended: that the removal of the dutiea must result, in reducing the price of coal. Mr. Dalzsll declared tbat the hypocrisy of the other aide was apparent from tbe remarks of Mr. Richardson. Tne opposition he said, was simply playing politics. The Democratic "perndy and dishon or" bill bad contained a duty on coal. Mr. Cochran, of Missouri, declared that this waa ''late day repentance" on the other side. If the President and Department of Justice, he said, had done their duty months ago when they were gallavanting around denouncing trusts, "the situation would be differ ent now." Rapid progress was made with the Army Appropriation bill after the Coal bill had been passed. , The mist important amendments adop ed were to increase the number of officers of the signal corps by twenty-three. namely, one colonel, two lieutenant colonels, four majors, eight csp captains aod eight first lieutenants, and another offered by Mr. Hay, of Virjiois, to prevent tbe discontinu ance of tbe army transport service without action by Congress. The House ad j aur aed until tomorrow. Seoste Acted Promptly. The Senate today acted promptly on the House bill providing rebates of tbe duty on coal and passed it unani mously, without debate, a few minutes after it waa brought over from tbe House. Senator Aldrich offered a committee amendment adding a new section to tbe bill, providing that the proviaions of paragraph 415 of the Dingley Act ahall not hereafter be construed to au thorize the imposition of any duty upoa anthracite coal. Senator Aldrich asked immediate consideration, Senator Vest remarked tbat he hoped tbe bill would fpass without a single dissenting vole. As amended, the bill passed unanimously. Tbe Militia bill also passed, with an amendment striking out of the bill the section providing fo a reserve force of trained men, tbus removing tne objec tions msde against it. as e GERMANY MAKES DENIAL.

It is said at tbe State Department that there is no change in tbe status of the negotiations with Colombia, re specting the canal. Great impatience ia exhibited at the delays and tbe fail ure of Colombia to accept the terms held out, and pressure is being brought to bear to hasten a conclusion o that the President before the ad journment of the present Congress can announce tbat we nave acquired control or either the Panama or tbe Nicaragua routes and be in a position t . begin tbe work of construction.

A Characteristic Speech la Which He De- nooDcrd Trusts aod Monopolies and Criticised the Attorney Qeaeral. bv Telegraph to tbe Mamma Btar. Washington, Jan. 14. For an hour and a half to-day Mr. Tillman of South Carolina occupied the attention of tbe Senate in a cbsrac' eristic speech, in which he denounced trusts and monop olies and severely criticised the At torney General. Mr. Tillman said tbat Mr. Aldrich, aince the Vest resolution regarding re moval of the coal duty came up, bad become more stre&uous and had ex hibited more feeling and earnestness than be thought Mm capable of. The energy of the venerable and brilliant Senator from Missouri, Mr. Tillman said, bad put a spur to tbe lagging horses in tbe House of Rspri- aentatives and those In tbe Senate who have Ibeen cold bloodedly contemplat ing tbe condition of affairs for a month. His only wonder, be said, was tbat in these trying times or death and distress, ddoIh are not taking steps to show monopolists tbat in tbe Jast resort men will neither starve nor frees to death, but will throttle tbe law if necessary and take it into their own hands abd seize supplies. He then criticised those who claimed tbat there was not sufficient authority to remedy the evils which exist and said tbat we may load down our stat ute books with laws, but unless tbe sworn omcers or the law shall flu charge their duties fesrlessly and hou . esily, every effort to protect the peopie will rail becauae of their dereliction. Efforts have been made." said Mr. Tillman, "pleadings have been had, petitions to tbe attorney general flitd. warning and begging bim to protect the paople against the impending dan ger, but be has sat quietly in bis office and done nothing. Rich and poor alike." be declared, "are freezing be cause of the fact tbat a monopoly does exist because tbe lawyers -nave railed to interpret the law in the interest of the people." He then criticised the coal strike commissioners and said they were tak ing irrelevant aod unnecessary testi mony, when, if they wanted to. they could find out about the combination and report to Cong rets that such a monopoly exists. He criticised a decision by Judge Taft involving a esse under tbe inter state commerce law aod said it ws the same j jdge who would not leave 'f ha AnaAa sail rA iAna ti t i as nn 'hich he waa now engaged in tbe tUV VUVI VWe BUM WMIWMOa wwastw Philippines for a seat on the supreme bench.

Philadxxphja, Jan 14. Recognition of the union, which the anthracite coal operators maintain is not an issue be fore the coal atrike commission, was the principal demand attacked by the u.ti uompany to-day in lla con test against; the claims of the United Mine Workers of America. General Superintendent W. A. May. of the Hilliide Coal and Iron Com- pany.and the Pennsylvania Coal Com pany, which is controlled by the Erie, was on the witness stand for a long time to-day, and gave testimony tend ing to show that aince the advent of the union into the anthracite regions the workmen were less efficient, that a lack of discipline has resulted, that it interrered with authority and limit ed the earning capacity of the em ployee. Other witnesses were called who corrobrated much of Superin tendent Biayo's testimony. The witness did not think the ten per cent, advance given the men two years ago waa deserved, but he has since changed bia mind. He did not think the advance asked for was rea sonable and j gave a noncommittal answer when asked if he might change nts mind again two years bence. THE GREAT. HIGHWAY. Aatemobllea jand the Hew ToIc-CM eago Road. The owners of racing automobiles have brought that machine, which might be useful, into such disrepute that it Is pleasant to find one of them engaged in useful public service. Colo iflel Dickinson of Springfield, Mass., left recently on an automobile trip to Chicago which promises to strengthen the movement for good roads, says tbe Brooklyn Eagle. Be is treasurer of the Mew York; and Chicago Road asso ciation, which hopes to nave a line of smooth, hard highways connecting the two cities. The distance Is some 850 miles, of which only 320 miles are of good macadam. The association, which numbers some, 2,000 members, will ask the next legislature to bond the state of New York' to build a good state highway, ' and Mr. . Dickinson seems confident of state help In Ohio. Indi ana he regards as the enemy's country. There Is no question that smooth, - hard highways would be of immense benefit to farmers and not be merely a convenience for the owners of auto mobiles and bicycles. It has been shown over and over again tbat the farmer cotld draw four times as heavy loads to market with the same span of horses over a properly made road as over tbe average roads through even, level country. ; The roads. ought to be made and kept In repair from local taxation by the towns and counties through which; they run. But co-operation between! such neighboring divi sions In the matter Is more difficult to secure than uniform divorce laws among the states or uniform trust leg islation.' One long, fine road as an ob ject lesson might be worth even state co-operation for its effect upon other communities. If the automobile can be used to pro mote Interest In that movement, it Is a good thing, but farmers are not going to vote taxes for roads which would be practically speed courses for these ma chine wagons land on which It would be dangerous to drive their family car ryalls. Colonel Dickinson and his as sociation should take the racers of their favorite i machine In band. If they could suppress those "public nui sances, their j good : road movement would thrive better.
