1t is not likely, of course, at this late
hour in the session, that there will be
any legislation on the subject. but bills
introduced by Representatives Mann,
of ILL.,, and Tawney, of Mimi, are echoes
of the fears aroused by the quick action
of Russia in raising the tariff on Amer.
ican steel and iron when Secretary Gage
imposed countervailing duty on Rus
sian sugar. The first provides for a
repeal of the section of the DingleY
tariff act, imposing countervalling du-
ties on articles on which bounties are
paid by the countries from which they
are exported, and the second provides
for the admission of flower bulbs free
of duty. 1t is understood that the lat.
ter bill is the result of information that
Holland, which sends us most of the
bulbs, contemplates imposing a prohib.
itory tariff on American -four, ii the
present duty on flower bulbs is retained.
These bills were not introduced with
the expectation of present action upon
them, but to be talked about and to feel
public sentiment as to action by the
next Congress.

ceremonies were being arrsnged for this
imperial regime, and Senator Pettigrew
replied: YVES, everything will be con-
Quoted with due pomp." By this time.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 25TH, 1901.

An extra session being now consid-
cred certain, Notwithstanding the elev-
enth hour efforts in the Senate to pre-
vent it, the leaders of the majority are
considering plans to make it short
one, by limiting the Hesitation to be
taken up. The President is i'll sympa-
thy with the efforts to make the extra
session short one. The legislation in
the House can easily be controlled. as
there will be no committees until
Speaker Henderson, who will have no
republican opposition to his reelection.
chooses to name them, and no bills can
be reported unless there are commit
tees; but the Senate committees are per-
petual, and nothing but the will Of the
Senate will stand in the way Of going
iAto general legislation. An attempt
will be made to pledge the majority in
the Senate, to limit the subject to be
taken up, to the programme that will
be arranged. While the contents of
that programme cannot be positively
stated at this time, it is reasonably GER.
tain that 1t will include Cuba, the Phil.
ippines, and the Nicaragua Canal.
Senator Morgan, after making most
sensational speech, in which he charged
that there was deliberate attempt to
throttle the Nicaragua Canal bill, be-
cause Great Britain had not consented
to the legislation, succeeded in giving
the bill parliamentary status, which
will enable the majority to call it up at
anv time and pass it, if they see fit.
He does not believe. however, that it
will be passed.
Before passing the bill, appropri-
ating $5,000,000 for the st. Louis
exposition, the Senate adopted an
amendment, offered by Senator Teller,
providing that the exposition shall be
closed on Sundays, aud another, offered
by Senator Tillman, appropriating $3.50
900 for the United States exhibit at
Charleston, S. @. exposition.
Senator Spooner, who has from the
first opposed an extra session of Con-
gress, is having able assistance in max
ing last effort co prevent the calling
of one by attaching an Amendment to
the Army Appropriation bill, declaring
the conditions the Cubans must agree
to, before the president is authorized to
withdraw American authority from
Cuba. Unless those who are presum-
ably familiar with the Presidents views,
are mistaken, the attempt is doomed to
failure, sven should Senator Spooner's
amendment 20 through. The President
is understood to be of the opinion that
the situation is one that cannot be met
by any action of this kind.
