THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
History, has been in ! rapidly ill
Washington during (he past week.
As predicted in my Inst totter, the
lin'ssage of the president produced
little ('(feet Upon those senators wild
are opposed to Cuban reciprocity and
two conferences of the republican
members of the senate have been
without results. Tlmt them will bp
no reciprocal legislation nt this ses
sion 'if congress is generally conceded
by its most ardent ndvncates. Never
theless, Mr. Roosevelt considers tlmt
the honor of Hip nation is involved
and In: has stated ofllclally tlmt be
will not give up tin' fight. It is now
deemed probable J hat li- will eitlvr
pull the senate ill extra session to
consider a treaty wbieh lip will nieiin
while' negotiate with Cuba, or tlmt
ho will submit such n treaty ns soon
ns congress convenes in December.
Lnst Wednesday evening the re
publican senators called a conference
to consider the subject of the presi
dent's message and the licet sugar
senators were given ample opportun
ity to express their views. Seventeen
senators declared themselves irrevoc
ably opposed to any legislation which
would reduce the duty on raw sugar
and two others, who were not pres
ent, had authorized n similar expres
sion of their views. The conference
adjourned without action to meet
again on Friday afternoon. At the
adjourned meeting a number ol "ad
ministration senators" pleaded fur
harmony and what they represented
as the honor of theeountry. Senator
Ilanna said: "I declare to you, as
chairman of our national committee,
that our party will suffer at the polls
in the coming election if this pledge
which we have made Is not carried
into execution." The conference,
however, was compelled to adjourn
without action and subject to the call
, of the chairman, Senator Allison,
who told me after adjournment that
lie did not believe the conference
would meet "again soon." Another
administration senator told me (hat
lie anticipated no trouble in securing
the ratification of a reciprocal treaty
after the elections and that he felt
sure that would be the ultimate out
come of the president's -Mimes t efforts
in behalf of Cuba, lie said Mr.
Roosevelt would append to the coun
try, in support of Cuban reciprocity,
on the trip lie expects to make this
fall, and that he woud not ask for
support In vain.
On Thursday, by a vote of 42 to 31,
the senate decided in favor of the
Panama-Colon route for ihe isthmian
canal. The test vote came on a mo
tion to substitute the Spoouer bill
for the Hepburn Niearagnnn bill
passed by the house. An amend
ment offered by Senator Fairbanks
was adopted, by virtue of which the
government will, upon the settlement
of the route question by. the presi
dent, issue 2 per cent interest bearing
gold bonds to the amount of- $l:io,
000,000 to defray the expense of the
undertaking. Under the provisions
of the Spooner amendment, the pres
ident is authorized to purchase, the
entire plant, rights, etc., of the Pan
ama canal company for 110,000,000,
providing lie can secure thereto a
satisfactory titlu and provided he
can procure from the Columbia gov
ernment the perpetual right ton strip
of land six miles wide in the proper
location, etc. In the event that he
cannot secure satisfactorily title or
proper concessions from the. Colom
bian government, he i. to secure such
concessions form the Niearnguan and
Ricnn governments and commence
operations on that route. As, in any
'vent, a treaty must be negotiated,
with the government through whoso
territory the canal is to pass and
must lie ratified by the senate, no
active, operations will be begun be
fore the senate has again convened.
.The adoption of the Spooner sub
stitute did not meet witli llieopprov
itl of the house, as evidenced by the
fact that on Friday that body voted
to disagree to the action of the senate
and appointed conference., on the
bill. There is a general belief, how
ever, that, owing to the lateness of
the dale mid to the impossibility of
securing any reversal of the senates
liclion at this session, the houe will
eventually concur.
The senate e.s not in sv si jli on
S-.iturdiy. Put little work remains
fr that body to perform lie fore ud
j lummcut a-, with the exception of
ihe p.ei.,-i.d d. ticiency bill, all "f the
appropriation h;le been pus-, d
ii 1 ; iioir.. I, h iiumU r are Mill in coii-
i. i'-oce. 1 ul'lv l.i-t i o k Senator
tinny gave notice that he would press
a "motion to relieve the committee oh
territories trom further consideration
of the omnibus statehood hill and
would urge action by tiie senate but
he bin since indicated that he has
since indicated that he has changed
his mind. Senator liate has, how
ever, staled that he would present a
similar motion anil urge immediate
action but such a motion coming
a democrat, would -doubtless be de
feated by a party vole.
On Thursday the house took up the
Philippine bill, Chairman Cooper
op- ning the debate with an unusual
ly eloquent speech. He was heartily
applauded by his auditors. As the
time is equally divided between the
parlies, the democrats are having an
opportunity to express their views
but so far they iia ve simply reiterated
the well worn arguments presented
by the democratic, senators. Mr.
Cooper told me yesterday that he
expected the house would pass its
own Philippine hiill and that the
dillerences between .the housj and
senate measures would have to be
"thrashed out" in conference. Indi
cations are that the house conferees
will have, at least tacit, instructions
not to yield to the senate conferees
and the possibility of a deadlock on
the measure is the only cloud on the
prospect of adjournment on the 3d of
July.- The house republicans will be
particularly tenacious of the currency
clause whereby the gold standard
will be established in the Philippines,
which they declare is the only course
in harmony wilh republican tradi
tions. They claim that the senate
provision is in violation of the tenets
of the party.
- The house committee on commerce
has reported favorably a bill altering
the present restriction, that cattle in
transit shall be unloaded for rest,
feed mid water every 28 hours, to
every 40 hours. An effort will lie
made to rush this bill through during
the closing hours but already the
committee is in receipt of protests
from the humane societies of the
country. C. A. Snow, president of
the Washington Humane Society,
has sent to the committee a letter of
protest in the course of which be
says, "The passage of this bill will be
a distinctly inhumane and retrogres
sive act to which I hope the Ameri
can congress will not commit the
American people. These animals,
vertebrates like ourselves, have un
erring appetites and thirst, and twen
ty-eight hours, as under the present
bill, is far too long, especially under
trying transportation conditions, to
make them go without food and
water. To increase the time to forty
hours will involve an added torture
which, If reduced, to intelligible ex
pression, wNiuld shock the conscience
of the- world. How outrageously
mean and cowardly to treat these
noble, gentle beings this way, only
because they are voteless, voiceless,
defenceless. They give thcif lives
that we may live more abundantly
and now an avaricious cattle interest
proposes, through the sanction of
congress to add torture to sacrifice."

Another of those in the front rank
has fallen like a soldier in battle,
suddenly, though with perhaps some
premonition that the end wns ap.
proaching. The way had boon long,
the journey toilsome and thoalloted
period of man's life passed when
the grand summons came and Mr.
Westbrook on Monday went to join
the mighty host that has gone over.
He came of one of the oldest and
most respected families in this val
ley and was born in Middle Smith
Bold, Monroe county, Vebrnar 4,
1827, a son of Solomon and Hannah
Coolbnugh Westbrook. His early
years were spent near Dingmans in
this county and in 1842 with his
family he Went to Blooming Srove
where he has since resided and
whore he has toiled and reclaimed a
part of the virgin wilderness into a
smiling farm. lie was a man of
correct habits, upright in spirit, un
bending in integrity, faithful to his
friends and devoted to his family.
Kind to his neighbors, of excellent
judgment, he was honored in local
affairs and for many years filled var
ioua township offices, rie married
Emily Jones, who, with four sons,
William B. and Fred L. residing
with him, John C, prothonotary of
the county, Moses U. of Liberty, N.
Y.,and one daughter, Carrie, sur
vives him. He is also survived by
two brothers, the venerable John
0. of Milford, Lifayette of Strouds
burg, and one eistor, Mrs. Susan
(Jrnndin of this place. Ha was for
many years a revered member of
Milford Masonic. Lodge and the
brethren attested their sense of his
worth by attending the obsequies,
which occurred yesterday, and lay
ing his remains to rest in the family
plot on the farm near his late home.
Crop of Candidate.
Down in Monroe ' county the
woods are full of candidates. A
baker's (!ozen has announoed them
selves for the office of commisioner
and a corresponding tumber for
the other offices. Judging by some
recent events either the timber of
fered is of mighty poor quality or
else the people are careless in uiak-
int; their selections. The May grand
jury found tho commissioners had
miserably neglected their duties and
last week the bar, evidently with
the concurrence of all good citizens,
passed resolutions strongly condemn
ing the sheriff for gross incompe
tency for allowing two murderers
to escape. It looks' as if democracy
hns so long and vigorously flourish
ed down there that the flowers have
hybridized and produced a deterior
ated crop of office holders, another
evidence that while green is a nat
ural it is not always the' best color
to perpetuate.

Paul Leicester Ford, whoso tragic
death In the prime of his powers has
startled the whole country, wns a
mm of progressive ideas in iinny
resHcts. Among other things, be
believed in the ballot for women.
In his novel, "Tho Honorable Peter
Stirling," he mnkes the hero say :
"Broadly speaking, all persons of
sound mind tjre entitled to vote on
the men and the laws which are to
govern them. Aside from this,
every ounce of brain or experience
you enn add to tho ballot mikes it
more certain. Suppose you say
that half the pcoplonro too ignorant
to vote sensibly. Don't you see
that there is an even chance, at
least, that they'll vote rightly, and
if the wrong half carries the election
it is because more intelligent people
have voted wrongly, have not voted
or have not taken the trouble to try
and show the people the right way,
but have left them to the mercies of
the demagogues? If we grant that
every mini who takes enra of him
self has some brain and some exper
ience, his vote is of some value,
even if not a high one. Suppose we
have an eagle, and a thousand pen
nies. Are we any better off by
tossing away the coppers, because
ench is worth so little? That is
why I have always ndvocated giving
the franchise to women. If we can
add ten million voters to an election
we have added just so mrtch know
ledge to it, and made it just so much
the len der to mi dead or buy enough
votes to change ivsnlts." '
A Word to Milford People.
After mature reflection it seemed
advisaol.i rather than invest the
large t titii requisite to erect a new
building for my chemical bath en
terprise to purchase a place already
improved, and accordingly I have
bought the Kleinhnns property.
This I expect to fit up for the pur
poses of my business, which I will
use every endeavor to make suc
cessful and of advantage to the
town. I sincerely thank the publio
spirited clli.ens who so promptly
and generously subscribed or the
purchase of a site and record with
a grateful feeling the kindness
shown toward and confidence mani
fested in me by them. This is fully
appreciated and it will be my ear
nest effort to compensate by induc
ing a larger number of people to
visit this beautiful plaoe and so
spread its fame abroad to the mu
tual benefit and profit of all.

Civil Service Examination.
The U. S Civil Servioe Commis
sion will hold examinations, during
September and October, in several
places in each state to secure young
men and women for the government
service. There are now 126,423 po
sitions in the classified civil service,
being an increase of 46,736 in six
years. There were 7,972 persons
appointed between July 1, 1901, and
April 15, 1902, being at the rate of
10,070 for the year. There will
probably be 11,000 appointments
next year. Salaries at appointment
vary from $660 to $1200 a year with
liberal promotions afterward. All
appointments are for life and for
most positions only a common school
education is required. Politics or
religion is not considered. Those
desiring to take examinations of
this kind can get full information
about them free by writing to the
Columbian Correspondence College,
