Committee Not Prepared
to Call Up Any Meas
ureS Today.
DEPOT BILL NOT COMPLETED
Will Require an Entire Day for Con-
Observation-Disclosures Bill to Be
Taken Up in Conference This Week
Personal Tax Under Consideration.

Although under the rule of the House
today should be devoted in part, at
least. to the consideration Of District
matters. it is probable that Chairman
Babcock will not call up any District
legislation, but will ask for another day.
The principal matter which the Dis
trict Committee has on hand now is
the union station bill, and that will
not be ready to report for several days.
When it does come up in the House it
will be necessary to devote practically
an entire day to its consideration, as it
promises to evoke much discussion.
Union Depot May Fail.
Some of the friends OF the measure
are fearful that after al, the union sta
ton scheme may fail at this session, by
reason of the non-action of the House.
The House committee has already made
a change in the location of the depot
from the site proposed in the Senate
bill, and in view of the widely differing
opinions of citizens of the District. as
was manifest at the recent hearing be-
fore the committee, the committee
would have a good excuse for not re-
porting the measure at this session.
In that event, those who are earnest
in their endeavors TO have the bill
PASSED fear that it will be too late to
take up the matter next December. The
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company is anx-
ious to have decision reached as to
what is to be done. This was expressed
by Vice President Green in his state
ment before the committee ten days
ago.
Railway Must Increase Facilities.
As he expressed it, the company must
increase its facilities, and in answer to
a question by Mr.. Sims. member of
the committee, he would not say that
the company would not go on and build
its depot on the Mall. as is provided in
the legislation enacted last year.
Already the preparations for this work
have been made, and therefore many be-
lieve that the union setation plan Will
fail entirely if it is not enacted at this
session now rapidly drawing TO a close.
District appropria tion bill will be
taken uo in conference within a day or
two Already the House conferees,
Hassrs. Cannon, McCleary, and Benton,
have read over aud studied the Senate
slendments quite carefully, and it is
AID hat if the plan of the extraordinary
movements in the District is to be

Sanate's scheme of raising additional
revenue.

Water Route Between the Fields and
New Orleans Projected

NEW ORLEANS. June ga company
has been organized here to establish an
all-water route between New Orleans
and the oil fields of Beaumont, in order
to bring oil here in barges.
The greater part of the route already
exists. and there will be but little canal
construction to be done. The pro-
posed route will be via Barataria Bay
and thence into the Mississippi River,
Just below New Orleans, saving nearly
100 miles in the present route through
the gulf and passes at the mouth of the

ONLY OBSTACLE CUBAN TARIFF
Believed That No Reciprocity Measure

sion-Treaty Would Hardly Be Acted
on Before Adjournment.

Senator Frye, president pro TEN of the
Senate. is authority for the statement
that Congress will adjourn by July 3
and probably on that day.
Senator Foraker agrees with him.
Senator Allison is trife more con-
servative in his prediction.
II believe we can adjourn within two
weeks" he said yesterday
Before End of Next Week.
1t is now generally predicted that Con-
gress will be ready to stop work before
the end of next week. Some careful
authorities predict that it will be nee
essary to remain in session over Jnde-
pendence Day and others say that II
will be possible to go away in time for
Congressman from nearby States to
spend their Fourth of July at home.
The question of stopping the congress
sional machinery has been hinging on
the Cuban reciprocity situation. At first
the attitude of the beet sugar Senators
made the outlook for an early adjourn
ment not very bright Since they have

their position has been seen to be rather

Four DAYS of Debate iii
the House Still Re-
naming.
Vote ON MEASURE THURSDAY
Representative Williams Booked as the
Star Attraction - Mr.. Cannon Will
Probably Close for the Republicans
Substitute to Be Offered.

The House has four more days to de-
vote to the consideration OF the Phil
ippine civil government bill. One-half
of this time the measure will be subject
to general discussion, and on Wednes-
day ii will be taken up and read under
the fve-minute rule. Thus far there has
not been a great deal of interest OF
enthusiasm in the discussion, but the
debate will be livened up somewhat this
week.
Representative John Sharp Williams
is booked as the star attraction. On
Tuesday he will conclude the general
debate upon behalf of the minority in
opposition to the pending bill and in
favor of the substitute prepared by the
Democratic members OF the Committee
on Insular Affairs. r-,.-... ...
An Able Speaker.
His abilities as an eloquent and force
full speechmaker are recognized on both
sides of the chamber, and it is predicted
that his remarks on Tuesday will be
supreme effort. While the attendance
of members upon the floor during the
debate has been very meager, Mr.. Will
liams is assured in advance of an at
tentive audience.
He has closely followed the arguments
of those in support of the bill, and is
expected to make answer to them.
Representative Cannon, who is also a
member of the Committee on Insular At
fairs, and who is likewise a very enter
tanning speaker, is also yet to be heard,
and he will probably close the general
debate for the Republicans.
Five-Minute Talks.
During the reading of the bill under
the fve-minute rule on Wednesday
and Thursday, there will be large num-
ber of fve-minute talks by members of
both parties, and numerous amendments
will be proposed. The measure will be
passed, however, substantially as re-
ported by the committee.
Mr. Jones, the ranking member Of the
will offer a substitute for the
whole bill. It embodies the plan of
providing a temporary government for
the islands and the withdrawal of the
United States at the expiration of four
years, and turning the Philippines over
to the Filipinos.
The bill will then go to conference,
where it will be necessary to adjust the
between the Senate and
House bills.
