1t is understood that the leading expo

form theories intend to address the
senate during the week on the subject
of reciprocity.
There Is some uncertainty as to the
course of business in the house owing
to the illness of Mr.. Springer, chair
man of the ways aud means committee,
which may possibly result in the post
ponement of the tariff discussion that
was booked to begin Tuesday, with
the free wool bill as the special measure
under consideration. If the tariff bill
be taken up Tuesday, its consideration
will probably occupy all the remainder
of the week.
The District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill is almost completed by the ap-
preparations committee and will occupy
several days of the week in the event
that Mr.. Springer's illness becomes so
serious as to delay the tariff debate.
