Depends Upon Whether Senate Will
Overmatch the House.
WISCONSIN sQUABBLE IS ENDED
Bad Feeling Among Members Of the
Delegation Was Due to u
Misunderstanding.

Washingt on, Jan. S1.-Secretary Wilson
is not IN harmony with the Cuban recipro-
city ideas of President Roosevelt, and the
rest of the cabinet. He strongly opposes
tariff concessions on sugar and tobacco
and has had leading experts of his de-
partment appear as witnesses before the
ways and means commit tee in opposition
to those CONCESSIONS.
Wilson'S attitude, and the presidents
characteristic habit of striking straight
out from the shoulder whenever he en-
counters opposition, have led to a revival
of the rumor that Wilson may leave the
ca binet should the senate, as IS now pro-
posed, overmatch the house by granting
concessions in the form Of a treaty with
the new republic Of Cuba
No more may be heard OF the Wilson
matter, but should Cuba get nothing. it is
predict ed that the agriculture portfolio
will be too hot for Mr. Wilson oscontinue
holding it. Obviously 1t would be un-
wise from every viewpoint for the presi-
dent to have in the cabinet men not in
sympathy with his policies, regardless Of
whether these policies are right or wrong.

thoroughly ventilated at
the dinner given by house members to
some Wisconsin visitors last Saturday
night, has been threatened between GER

In; the house. There is also authority for
saying that the break in friendly relations
between Representative jenkins and Sen
ator Spqoner was the chief topic: discussed
at a dinner given to Postmaster General
Payne at the New Willard Tues
day night. The. result of the
exchange Of views, in which all
the members Of the delegation pres
ent, including Senator Spooner, took: part,
was an arrangement for meeting at the
capitol yesterday,aat which mutual ex-
plantations were made and peace restored.
It Is understood that nobody made any
apologies for past words and actions, but
that a better unaerstanding was reached

pearance, with cold and
SKIS rather deep snow. Con-
gresham Eddy, by way OF
celebrating the event, came to the capitol
to-day on skis and was the observed OF
all observers. Finding he had crowd OF
interested people watching him, he did
several interesting stunts on the skis
which contributed much to the gaiety OF
the day on Capitol Hill. This is Mr. Ed
since the great blizzard of three years
ago next month, when he went the full
length of Pennsylvania avenue on skis
to the delight of the assembled multi
tudes.
