THE BANKING TRUST
Scheme Embodied in the Fowler
Is Not at All Popular
PROTESTS Are coahng in
From AIL Parts of the Country the
Small Banks Fearing Ruin
A FIGliT WITHIN THE PARTY
Is Likely to Be Developed at the Repub-
lican Caucus
COMBINATIONS WOULD BE VERY I3ASY
Under tho Provisions Which Seek to
Give the Big Banks Power to Es-
tablish Branches If They Desire
Special to The Pcst >
Washington May 10 Evidences are ac-
cumulating that there Is to b a fight of no
Inconsiderable propoitlon over the Vowlcr
turrencj bill when It Is taken up by tho re-
publican caucus next Tuesday night
Influential members of the majority In the
house are receiving a largo number of pro-
tests against theUU fiom various parts of
tho country Tho provision to which par-
ticular objection Is made Is that which pro-
vides for tho establishment of branch
ban Us It Is claimed that such a provision
If enacted Into law would practically ruin
banks in the small towns
The Lirger Institutions Mould be enabled
to establish branches whiruvcr they pleased
und It Is said that comUuMtous could be
effected whereby the small bankets could
ho ttusbed osl of existence
THE PRESIDENT IS FIRM
IN HIS
STAND FOR RECIPROCITY
vVITH CUBA
Wants the Tax on Surjar Reduced tho
Danrjer of Such a Move Is 3einfj
Pointed Out to Him
Special to The Tost
Mashlngton May 10 The fact that the
republican lenders are still greatly worrlet
over the matter of reel prod ii with Cuba
Is ilemonstinted by tho number of confer-
ences Influential senators Ime been holding
with tho president duttucliiepaJ day or
ttwo r
Senator Clapp of Mlnncsotn was at tho
Whlto Hmis0 todav attempting to get the
president Interested In his plan for a rom
mission to examine Into the situation In tho
Island and to provide relief for those wjno
appear to be lenlly In need ot it It Is
authoritative stated however that Mr
Itooscvclt has not rhanged hlx opinion In
the least and that he Is by no means dis-
posed to sanction the Clapp scheme or unv
of tho similar ones whleh hao been laid
before him ITo still believes that congress
should pans n bill providing for n straight
reduction of tho tariff on Cuban sugnr and
other produets and that If such ii bill Is
not put through before adjournment an
extraordinary session would b called If
anything will change his mind It will pos
slhly be the argument of these senators
who am opposed to the reciprocity scheme
and who allege that the passage ot a bill
In line with the presidents Uews would
open the door to a general tariff revision
alone lines whleh would by no means bo
acceptable to the dominant party as a
whole
There Is no doubt In the > minds of thoso
who are keepingup with tho situation that
nn effort will be made to get the reciprocity
bill In ahead nf the Isthmian canal measure
which should properly bo taken up Imme-
diately after the vote on the Philippines
bill
Trlends of the cannl bill today nnnowiee
that tbey arc confident ther will bo able
to prcont this and say that they believe
tlio chances ot some sort ot cannl leglsla
Hon being gotten through nt this session
are brighter than cor bejorc There Is
omo covert opposition to any such legisla-
tion on the part of Senator Hanna and
other republicans but It Is thought that It
Is not so stiong but what It may be oer
cproe
There Is absolutely nothing to prevent
the authorization by congress of the canal
project except the adverse Interests In the
senate It will be the constant effort of
the friends of the canal to expose those In-
terests and overcome their Influence It Is
Incredible to the friends of the project
that with so many party Influences to work
for a canol a bill should bo defeated
NO DATE FIXED
For Taklno a Vote on the Philippines
Government Bill
Washington May 10 An effort was made
by Mr Lodge Mans In the senate today to
induce the minority to fix n time when a
vote might be taken on the 1hlltpplne gov
ernment bill but Mr Dubois Idaho speak
lug for the democratic side did not desire
to specify a date for the vote

begun yesterday In opposition to the lhllip
pine policy nf the government which he
maintained was responsible for nil the Ills
that had eome to the United Hint en In
those Islands Mr Deboo Ky supported
the pending measure
Soon after the senate convened a bill to
place Thomas I Carpenter late captain In
the United Slates army on the retired
list was passed
Another bill to restore Benjamin II
Handwcrlh to the army was passed
Tho military academy appropriates bill
waa reported 17 Mr Warren who e t
rc ij
notice tbst he would call It up early e t
week
When the Philippine government bill was
laid before tlio senate at tho conohuJen of
routine business Mr McLaurln contlnned
his speech begun yesterday In opposition to
the measure
Ho criticised the trial of General Jacob
II Smith Intimating that Ws aeqnlttsl was
a foregone conelutton He said he knew
thero was A dlspeMtlon on the part of the
psrty In power to follow the lead of Great
Hrltaln In order to enrry favor with Eng-
land we sent he said n special embassy
to the coronation of King Edward This
led him to speak of the Uocr war rnd ho
criticised tho United States for the Voli-
tion It has assumed toward Great Hrltaln
in that struggle
In a prepared speech Mr Doboe Cy
supported tho pending bill which he said
was a continuation of the vise and pa-
triotic policy of President McKlnley
Mr Dubois representing the minority
satd no senator on his sldci was prepared
to go on with tho discussion today but on
Monday tho democrats would be ready to
go on continuously with the debate
The senate nt 432 p in adjourned until
Monday

small area aud distance from tho mother
country havo proved not only a burden
financially but somewhat unsatisfactory In
the demands which their representatives
have made and continue to make upon the
mother country France has tried the ex-
periment as did Spain ot giving to certain
ot her colonics representation in tho legis-
lative body ot the homo government and
according to a quotation made in the bu
