THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
While the democratic mni;l('rs
are rending the air of (he senate
chamber with tiieir denunciations (if
republican policy in the Philippines
nml (he house of representatives in
devoting its labors to the regular
appropriation bills, (tie republican
senators arequietly and Industriously
working out the solution of the Cuban
reciprocity problem. On Friday the
roiumittee on relations with Cuba
adopted that portion of the Teller
resolution which rails for an Investi
gation of the amount of Cuban sugar
held by the American Smrar Refill
ing company. Senators Piatt, Burn
liam and Teller will conduct the in
vestigation which, in view of the
fact that most, of the desired informa
tion is in the possession of the w ar
department, will not, in the Judg
ment of Senator Piatt, occupy but a
short period. In the meantime the
committee will devote its attention
to framing a straight reciprocity bill
as a sulwtitute for the measure passed
by the house.
A senator who stands very close to
the administration told me Saturday
he believed that a simple bill author
izing the president to negoiate a
reciprocity treaty on a basis of per
cent, reduction, would be acceptable
to a majority of the senators. He
further said that he did not lielieve
that the democrat in the house
would dare to vote against such a
bill because of the popular demand
for relief for 'Cuba. I understand
that Senator Gorman Is expected to
use his influence with his house dem
ocrats to prevent such a suicidal
course on their part. Resolutions
passed by the Beet Sugar Manufac
turers' association of Michigan, con
deming the house bill, and the state
ment made to the president one day
last week by George H. Barbour of
Michigan, who is promiently assoc
iated with the beet sugar interests of
his state, that a reduction of 25 per
cent. In the Cuban tariff would not
injure the Michigan beet sugar in
dustry have done much to strengthen
the position of the pro-reciprocity
senators.
The slate department has practi
cally completed its arrangements
with the governments of Colombia
and with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
and they will be submitted to con
gress hiimoadiate'.y as the president
is most anixous that something to
wards the promotion of an isthmian
canal should be accomplished fit thin
session. Mr. Roosevelt believes that
the people desire to see prompt action
in this matter and that they will
criticise the controlling party if such
action is not taken. I understand
that the amount to lie pRid to the
interested governments is the same
in lioth cases, namely, $7,000,(loO.
Should the I'anania route be chosen
the whole of this sum would be paid
to Colombia and in the event ol the
Nicaraguai! route being selected f 1,.
0(10,000 would go to Costa Rica and
$0,000,000 to Nicaragua. While an
annual rental would be paid for
either route. The amount would be
practically nominal and would be
paid for either route, and would
lie more for the purpose of a
continuous recognition of the sov
ereignty of the interested govern
ments than a recompense for the use
of the land.
The Philippine debate on the floor
of the senate has, so far, been entire
ly one-hided. During a portion of
three sessions Senator Rawlins of
Utah delivert-J a wearisome and
iimuiitonuus presentation of the
democratic attitude. He was follow
ed on Friday and Saturday by Sena

instructions to the conferees to hold
out for certain changes calculated to
make measure more dm -tie, the pas

ii'iisldeiaiion of argricllunil appro

was devoted to a eulogy ot the late
Representative Stokes of South
Carolina.
On Saturday Representative Mer
cer of Nebraska reported to the
house the omnibus public building
bill which carries a total appro
priation of tl5,ROO,OO0 and today
a special rule tor the consideration
of the bill will lie brought in. It
is expected that under this rule
but three hours will be allowed
for general discussion, the time to be
equaly divided between the two sides
of the house. The bill actually con
tains 173 appropriations, including
77 for new sites ami buildings, AH
for increases of appropriations for
buildings already provided lor, H for
construction of buildings on sites al
ready owned, 10 for the erection of
buildings on donated sites and 16 for
sites alone. As every state and ter
ritory, save two, will receive a por
tion of "the pork," no congressman
(ran oppose it W ithout doing violence
to bis local interests.
The announcement of the attorney
general that he has ordered proceed
ings against the beef trust will he
greeted with joy by the vast army of
consumers. Mr. Knox states that a
careful inquiry has been instituted
by Judge Day, ex-secretary of state,
and that sufficient violation of the
law has been discovered to warrant
such proceedings with the hope of
successful Issue. The action of the
attorney general is in entire accord
ance with the wishes of the president
who has most heartily commended
the procedure.

Dr. C W. Roberta of Scranton,
who proposes building a large house
here for the purpose of chemical
biths,' has submitted plans for the
edifice to a builder in town. The
first story is of blue stone and the
seoond tramo. It was expected that
it would cost about (15,000 but the
plans if carried out as designed
will involve considerable more out

Cruelties in the Philippines.
The charge that orders wore given
in the Philipines to burn and kill
and make Samar a howling wilder
ness is admitted now to he true and
that such an order was given Gen
eral Jacob H. Smith. It is not
alleged, however, that any of the
cruel acts said to have boen com
mitted by the Americans there hud
the sanction of the government nor
was it known hero that any such
order was issue until it was pleaded
by Major Waller as a dofence for
his action. On learning of the facts
President Roosevelt ordered that
General Smith bo court martialed.
No one for a moment indorses the
cruelties practiced and they are
receiving a very proper condemna.
tion at the bands of the party

down Tuesday, April 2iHh, while
sitting la-side the coflin of his tlead
friend, J. B. Westbrook. The people

bejjin breathing heavily. He was

Dr Fulmer was iMirn Rt Stewarts
viHo, New Jericy, June 10, Kin,
and graduated at Lafayette college,
Fusion, Pa., in 1818 w hen only eigh
teen yenr i.l.l. n2 bcramc a student
iu the New York medical college and
subsequently s)H-nt two years at the
University of Pennsylvania wh :re
he graduated in 18.r.:l. His father
having become largely interested in
huiness affairs In this county, ow n
ing a tannery and store at Fulmer
ville in Delaware township, the place
having been named for him, the
Doctor soon after came up and located
there for the practice of liis profession
and also to aid iu the management of
the business. There he remained
until 1800. In isr.O he bought the
hotel at Dinginan's Ferry where he
has since resided and which he has
greatly enlarged and improved. It
may be said that he was one of the
pioneers In the boarding business in
this valley and the hotel from being
a little wayside Inn soon became in
his hands a popular and widely
known resort patronized by many
celebrities and always thronged with
guests.
Dr. Fulmer wss a very busy man.
He gave personal and careful super
vision to all the details of his large
business, besides being ever ready to
heed the calls of the sick In his
capacity as a physician. In bis pro
fi ssion he was successful. His sunny
presence in the sick room was a
cheer and cordial to the sufferer, and
many will rise up and call him
blessed. His pleasant smile, his
cordial greeting, his untiring atten
tion, his genuine solicitude for the
comfort and pleasure of his guests
ami-file traveling public made him
extremely popular and' brought suc
cess in large measure to his under
taking. He was a warm friend, a
social enmpanion and In his family
a most devoted father and husband.
He will be sorely missed In the com
munity which he has so long and
largely prospered. In early life he
became Interested In the cause of
of education generally and was county
superintendent of schools from 1857
to 180(1 and was for 25 years secretary
of the school board of Delaware.
May 25, 1805, he married Miss
Ella Bennett of Elm Ira, N. Y., who
survives him. lie Is also survived
by one son, Philip F., Jr., a practic
ing attorney In Philadelphia, and by
one daughter, Nana B. Both Mrs.
Fulmer and her daughter were yet
at their winter home in Philadelphia
and the shock to them will be griev
ous, Indeed. The home which has
for years been so happy and full ot
joy for them Is suddenly darkened by
a cloud which has no passing and
which must dim the sunshine of
their lives through all the years of
their pilgrimage here.
Dr. Fulmer also left surviving a
brother, Andrew . J., of Stcwarts
vllle and two. sisters, Mrs. Mary
Strader of Washington, N. J., and
Mrs. Emma Clark.
The funeral will be held today and

Colorado Labor Commissioner on
Women's Vote.
James T. Smith of Denver, labor
commissioner for the state of Colo
rado, writes :
"The practical effeot of woman
suffrage In Colorado during the
eight years that it has been In oper
ation here has in my judgment been
beneficial in every way. The moral
tone of political conventions has
been improved and women have
been enabled to command more
consideration and respect than for
merly. The vast majority of the
membership of trades onions in
this state wore in favor of extend
ing suffrage to women. It was
largely throngh tneir efforts that
the amendment, was submitted In
1893.
"I do not think there is much
opposition now to women in politics.
Most of the voters who were oppos-
ed to woman suffrage when the is
sue was a burning one In Colorado
are ready now to admit that their
prediction of the dire disaster that
would follow has not been fulfilled."
Bulletin on Woods.
The Pennsylvania state college
has sent out a bulletin No. 53 on
weeds iu geuaral and especially on
two new comers in the state. The
summary says : Freedom from
weeds is best had by improving the
soil quality and intensive cultivation
and that greater care should be ex
ercised in regard to purity of farm
seeds and in cutting all roadside,
fence row, and other weeds before
the time of seeding. The Keeled
garlio and the Southern Scabious
are two weeds new to the state.
They possess qualities which render
them liable to become seriona posts.
