CUBAN RECIPROCITY

One of the Surprises of the Day.
Wants to Take Duty Off Hides.
By Kuluslve Wire from The Asoc i.itcil Press.
" "Washington, April IS. The Demo
crats anil the Republican Insurgents
rode rough-shod over the house lead
CIS today when the voting1 began on
the Cubun leeiprocity bill. They over
threw the ruling of the chair in the
committee of the whole on the ques
tion of thcgormnncness of an amend
ment to remove the differential from
1 crlned nugar during the existence of
thu reciprocity agreement piovlded for
in the bill. The vote to over-i ule the
decision of the choir, made by Mr.
Sherman, of New York, was 171 to 130,
Republicans to the number of 37 Join
ins with a solid Democratic vote to
accomplish this result. Having won
this- preliminary victory, the amend
ment was adopted In committee, 161
111, and later, in the house, by a still
larger majority, 1PD-105. On this vote,
Gt Republicans -voted with the Demo
crats for the amendment. The bill
then was passed by an overwhelming
majority, tMT-o".
An analysis of the vote shows tli.it
JJI Republicans and 123 Democrats
voted for the amended bill and VI Re
publicans and ten Democrats against
it. Mr. Giosvenor, of Ohio, was one of
those who voted against the bill. The
voting on the bill was the culmination
of a long struggle, which begun al
most with the opening of this session
of congress, and after two weeks of
continuous debate, during which much
bitterness was aroused. Today's de
bate was of an exceedingly lively char
acter, the feature being the echoes of
( last night's Democratic caucus.
To that caucus the defeat of the Re
publican leaders, who sought to pas-s
the bill without amendment, is nt
ti Ibutnble. Previous to the holding of
the caucus, the Democrats were very
much divided, and the opposition of
the Republican beet sugar men showed
signs of abating. Today, when it be
came apparent that the Democrats
would net together, the beet sugar men
decided at a meeting attended by 32 of
them, to take the bit In their teelh
ond over-ride the chair. As soon as
this combination was effected, the Re
publican leadeis realized that they
would lie defeated, so r.ir as the re
moval of the differential was con-
. cerned, and Mr. Payne, the Republican
leader, contented himself with warning
Ills beet sugar colleagues that In 10
movlng the dlfrerenti.il they were tak
ing off a bit of protection placed in the
Dlngley bill especially fur the benelll
of the beet sugar pioducers. The
Deniocr.'ils attempted to follow up their
advantage when the dlh'ereutinl
amendment was adoptee", by offering
the Babcoi k bill and others amend
ments to i educe the Dlngley schedules-',
but on thesV amendments the Re
publicans declined to stand with them,
and the Democrats did not piess them
vlgoiously. One of the surprises of the
session was the attempt of Mr. Rob
erts, a Massachusetts Republican, to
take the duty off hides. He offered two
amendments and appealed once from
the decision of the chair, but was voted
down each time.
The bill, us passed, ruthorlzes tho
president, us soon ns may be after the
crtubllshment of an Independent gov
ernment hi Cuba, and the enactment
by said government of Immigration,
exclusion und contract labor laws as
restrictive as those of the Vnlted
Kli.tes, to negotiate a reciprocal trade
agreement with Culm, by which, in le
turn for equivalent concessions, tlin
Vnlted States will grant a reduction of
twenty per cent, from the Dlngley
jates on goods coming into the United
States from Cuba, such agreement to
ccutluuQ until Deceniner 1, 1903. Dur
ing the existence of such, agreement,
the duty on refined sugars and all su
gar,', above Xo. it), Dutch stundurd, Is
to be I.Sl'.'i per pound.
No Repuhl i an member front Penn
sylvania voted with the Democrats for
the amendment, nor did any Pennsyl
vania member vote against tho amend
ed bill on Its final passage,
The Chinese Sill.
In view of the action of thu senate

VAN WORMER BOYS
ARE SENTENCED
They Must Pay the Penalty for the
Murder of Peter A. Hallenbeck
on Christmas Eve.
Dy Ewlujhc Wire fiom The Associated Pre?.
Hudson, N. Y April 18. Burton,
Willis and Fred Van Wormer were
found guilty of murder in the first de
gree this morning for the shooting of
their uncle, Peter A. Hallenbeck, at
Greenport on Chiis-tmas eve.
Within fifteen minutes after the re
port of the jury Justice Chester sen
tenced the brothers to die in the elec
tric chair at Clinton prison, Dannu
mora, duilng the week of May 30, 1902.
The piisoners received their Bentence
coolly, answering the questions put to '
them in a loud clear voice. As they
were taken out of the court room Fred
remarked to Chief of Police Lane:
"Pretty tough luck isn't it."
Peter A. Hallenbeck was shot In his
houe nt Greendale, N. Y where he
lived with his aged wife. The story,
as brought out on the stand' by the
prisoners themselves and their cousin,
Harvey Bruce, who, while he was with
them at the time of the niuuler, was
not on trial, was that the Van Woimers
bought face masks at the store of one
Imond Venner in Klnderhook, where
they lived, on the day before Christ
mas and then hired a one-horse team
at a livery stable and drove neuily
twenty miles to their uncle's house.
They first peeieil Into the chinch win
dows at that place to make sure that
Charles Hallenbeck, the old man's son,
and his wife weie not with their father.
Then they pioceeded to the house, rang
the bell and as soon us the door opened
began firing with revolvers at the aged
man. 'Wheu he was dead they went
back to their team, which they had
hitched In the yard, iliove u distance
down the road, removed their masks,
turned their coats lightslde out and
reached Klnderbiook again late that
night. The motive for the murder was
declared by the prosecution to be due
to ii family feud.

COLOMBIAN
PROTOCOL
Canal Document Which Was
Recalled Is Again Delivered
to State Department.
By I'.xelusiie Wire from 'the Asml.itd l'reti.
Washington, April 18. The Colombian
canal protocol, which was delheied at
the state department on April 1 and
afterward lecalled by Minister Concha
for modifications, was again piesented
to Secretary Hay today.
The proposal as to price is set out as
follows:
One year after tho exchange of ratifi
cations of a treaty, the United States
shall puy Colombia the lump sum of
$7,000,000. This figure will represent
fourteen years' rental at $500,000 a year.
At the end of the foftrteen years' period
the price which tho United States shall
pay each year is to be fixed by mutual
consent of the two countries. In case
the parties cannot agree upon a sum,
it will be left to an arbitrator selected
between the two governments. The pro
tocol provides for the nppbintnient of a
joint commission representing Colombia
and the United States, which will ar
range and provide for all matters per
taining to the administration of affniis
within the proposed -oanal belt, Includ
ing the membership of the mixed tri
bunals for the administration of justice
and other steps necessary to the Joint
occupntlon of the belt. It is realized
that the building of a Panama canal
would bring great numbers of persons
of all sorts and conditions to the Isth
mus and for this reason It has been
provided that the policing of the strip
shall be performed by both American
and Colombian constables, neither of
these nationalities, it is held, being
efficient without the aid of the other.
It Is stated positively in an authori
tative quarter that the modifications
for which the protocol was recalled
were In no sense a retraction of any of
the proposals embodied In it at its foi
iner presentation, but were In the na
ture of explanations which make cer
tain points clearer, but do not change
their effect.
The retention of Colombian sover
eignty over the canal land Is a point
w hlch has been consistently adhered to
all through the piotocol and none of Its
provisions relinquish this sovereignty
in any degree, it is stated. The proto
col consists of twenty-seven articles
and represents an exhaustive study of
more than a year. Viewed as a study
and as a oompiehenslve presentation,
it is legardpd very favorably at the
state department.

Every Commando in the Jfleld tc
Send a Representative Lord
Kitchener Refused to Grant an
Armistice Proceedings Expected
to Occupy Three Weeks The Boer
Leaders Did Not Go to Pretoria at
Suggestion of British Authorities.
By i:iluslie Wile fiom The Associated Prew.
London, April IS. The government
leader, A. J. Balfour, In the house of
commons today made the following
statement:
After two conferences between I.ord
miner, the British hlgn commissioner
of South Africa, and Lord Kitchener
and tho Boer delegates at Pretoria,
Lctd Kitchener, while refusing to
grant an armistice on military grounds,
has agreed to give, facilities for the
election and meeting of representa
tives of the various Boer commandos
to consider the position. The Boer
leaders have, therefore, left Pretoria to
carry out that plan.
Mr. Balfour added that It was not
expected that communication between
the British authorities and the Boer
leaders could be resumed in less tihan
three weeks' time.
The government statement made a
generally favorable Impression. It
was nrgued that the action of th,e
Boer leaders demonstrates that, at any
late, a majority of the delegates favor
the acceptance of the suggested Brit
ish peace terms. The submission' ot
the question to a plebiscite of the bur
ghers Ik according to Boer law, which
leipilres the leaders of the armed
forces in the field to talte the opinion
of their followers before the conclud
ing peace.
Boers' Action Spontaneous,
it Is oflieially asserted that the con
tinental statements to the effect that
the Boer leaders went to Pretoria at
the suggestion of the British authori
ties are absolutely unfounded. The ac
tion of the Boers was entirely spon
taneous, und it Is regarded here as the
best evidence of a genuine desire to
In ing about a settlement by peaceful
negotiations, and as being indicative of
the character of the advice which will
be given to the burghers by the lead
eis, who are now returning to their
vailous commands.
