PRESSED TO AN EARLY VOTE
THIS WEEK WILL WITNESS THE END
OF THE CUBAN DEBATE.

Senator Platt is One Who Is Down for n
Debate on the Question-Mr. Sherman ID
Determined to Press the Matter to an
Early vote-One Objection to the Con-
ference Report.
Washington, March 15.-It Is probable
that the week opening tomorrow will
witness the conclusion of the Cuban
debate in the senate for Mr.. Sherman
IN charge of the conference report has
given notice that he intends tn press
the question to an early vote, Sena-
tor Morgan of Alabama, the ex-chair-
man of the committee, has the floor
on the report whenever it is called
UP. 1t is not unlikely that he will reply
10 some OF the structures upon the mem-
pers OF the senate made by Minister
de LONE. Others who intend to speak
on the subject are Senators PIatt Of
Connecticut, White of California, and
probably Butter of North Carolina.
The chief objection to the conference
report is the acceptance by the SEN
ate conferees of the third clause Of the
house resolution relating to interven-
ton. This identical proposition was
submitted to the senate committee ana
after mature deliberation was rejected.
One prominent senator who intends to
speak on this subject says if the senate
committee had reported this clause in
it's own resolutions they would not have
| received one-third the vote Of the sen.
ate.
The objection to this clause is 50
bitter that 1t is not impossible the re-
port may be sent back to conference,
although such a contingency is not
seriously expected. A senator who has
given the question careful considera-
ton is authority for the statement that
the report will be agreed to, but that
the vote against it will be at least
twenty instead of six, as against the
original proposition.
The Dupont case has been laid aside
to take up the senate Arkansas COM
promise bill agreed to last year by Sec
| retaries Carlisle and Smith on the one
side and Governor ClarkeNof Arkansas
on the other, whereby all indebted
ness on the part of each is to be I'm
ally settled by the payment by Arkan-
| oe1S " lilC OLlleu StdISS OF $5(z IN
money and of one hundred and sixty
$1,000 bonds of the state held by the
United States. There is much opposi-
| ton to the bill.
Mr.. Lodge has given notice that to-
morrow he will speak on the immigra-
! tion bill reported from his committee.
Mr.. Pugh of Alabama will address the
senate upon the tariff bill. His re-
marks, it is understood. will relate
more to the free coinage Of silver than
| to the tariff
| When the consideration Of the Dupont
case is resumed Mr.. Gray of Delaware,
Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Burrows and Mr..
George will speak. Mr.. Butler Of
North Carolina will also during the
week call up his resolution to pro-
| hibit the further issuance of bonds and
make a speech thereon. The legisla-
| tive bill will be reported Wednesday.
| The program of business in the house
this week presented varied charac-
| ter. Tomorrow will be committee sus-
pension day when the chairman may
| call up measures for passage under
suspension of the rules. Among meas
ures thus brought up, it is expected.
will be the bill relating to the location
| of homesteads in Oklahoma.
