Senator Teller Doubts That It VIII

DENVER, Colo, Nav 20.-Bsnator
Teller expressed doubt this afternoon
as to whether the Morgan Cuban reso-
luton will pass the House. "The In.
fiuen ces that dominate Speaker Reed"
said Mr.. Teller, ''are hostile to the
Cubans and In favor of OF Spanish
rule. 1t IL quite evident that the ad-

THE TARIFF BILL.
II think the tariff bill will even tu-

possible now to say. The House bill
as sent to the Senate was very crude
and ill.prepsrsd. I think the Senate
committee has improved IL somewhat,

The friends Of the proposed tariff
measure cannot complain of the delay
so far, because the Republican party
has been entirely responsible for 1t.

SENATOR TELLER's VIEWS SHARED
BY OTHERS.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-President
MolSlnley Ia not likely to be called
upon TO take action upon the Cuban
resolution passed by the Senate today
for some time and perhaps not at all.
The resolution would not be sent to
him for his approval until It had been
adopted by the House, and whether the
House takes 1t up must be decided
hereafter.
1t is known that Mr.. Mckinley
desires the postponement OF final
congressional action on the Cuban
question until the report OF Mr.. Cal.
houn, who IL ON the island investig at.
ing the conditions there, has been
made.
The Senate resolution can be
brought before the House only by
special rule, and Speaker Reed lie
known to be opposed to its sdoption at
this time.
There may be much pressure
brought to bear by the Republicans
who think early action on the Cuban
question advisable to have the resolu.
ton adopted by the House, but 30 long
as the leaders consiuer that 1t may
embsrrass President McKinley's
plans, It IL likely TO lay on the table.
