EARLY AGREEMENT LIKELY.
Outlook for Cuban Reciprocity Among
Republican Senators.

1t is probable that an agreement will be
reached by the republican senators Of the
committee on Cuban affairs for the Cuban
reciprocity bill tonight or tomorrow. The
indications are that the agreement will be
practically heretofore outlined namely,
q reduction of 20 per cent, to continue for
five years, with elimination of the other
provisions of the House bill.
AS an agreement seems to be imminent
among the senator's, and the passage of
the bill through the Senate forecasted, in
terest reverts to the probable action of the
House on the bill. 1t was stated today
with positiveness that there was a thor
ough understanding between the demo-
Gratis of the House and the forty or fifty
beet sugar republicans of that body that
no bill should be accepted by the House
unless it embodied the amendment of the
House striking off the differential duty on
sugar.
If this agreement should be carried out to
the end it would indicate a rather gloomy
prospect for the passage Of an acceptable
reciprocity bill, as it is not thought that the
Senate will accept the differeutial amend
ment Of the House.
Inquiry among republican senators today
developed that the feeling is strong in the
Senate that the republicans of the House
will not cooperate with the democrats to
stand out against a bill which the Senate
has passed.
They think there will be such republican
unanimity In the Senate on the Cuban reci-
procity bill finally brought in that the re-
publicans of the House will find their posi-
ton in opposition untenable.
Therefore notwithstanding the gloomy
reports from the House there was a de-
cidedly optimistic feeling in the Senate to-
day as to the prospects of the ultimate en-
actment of satisfactory Cuban reciprocl-
ty bill

House Votes to Consider the
Measure.
HILLS EXPLANATION
SENATE ADOPTS CONFERENCE
REPORT ON BUILDING BILL.
Consents to Occupancy of the New
Government Printing Office
by the G. a. R.

Speaker Henderson attended the funeral
of Lord Pauncefote today. and by his des-
igaation Representative Dalzell (Pa) pre-
sided the deliberations of the House.
Some routine business was transacted be-
fore the regular order was demanded.
Bills were passed to authorize the relin-
punishment TO the United States of patented
lands and claims within the limits of the
Sequoia. Yosemite and General Grant ma
tionaI parks. and extending the time for
the construction of a bridge across the
Missouri river at Oacoma. S. d.
The regular order then being demanded,
a vote was taken upon the adoption of the
rule for the consideration of the bill TO in
crease the subsidiary silver coinage, which
was pending when the House adjourned
yesterday. This was to make the bill
continuing order until disposed of. 1t pro-
vides for two hours general debate and the
reading of the bill for amendment under
the fYe-minute rule.
The rule was adopted-99 to 10
Yesterday afternoon in the House. Mr..
Shafroth of Colorado vigorously opposed
the consideration of the bill, first on the
ground that there was no necessity for d
change in the existing law relative to sub
sidiary coinage, and, second. because it pro-
posed to suspend entirely the coinage of
silver dollars.
MIR. Hill Comm who had charge of the
Diii, expressed his surprise at the criticism
Of the measure INDUCED in by Mr.. Shafroth
yesterday. There seemed to be a misunder-
standing, he said, as to the scope of the
bill 1t had nothing TO do with the ques-
ton of the exchangeability or redemption
OF silver dollars contained in the Fowler
bill 1t covered only the subject of subsd-
larry coinage and was so innocent that the
minority had not seen fit to attack it in
their report.
When Mr.. Hill concluded the attendance
Lad dwindled until there were not over
twenty members the floor. and Mr..
Cochran tMo) made the point of no
quorum. The bells were rung and in a
few minutes Mr.. Tawney. who was in the
chair. was able to count a quorum. The
debate then proceeded.
Mr.. Bell Coli opened against the bill.
lie declared that every great panic from
which the country had suffered had been
precipitated by currency tinkerers'' like
Mr.. Hill The ultimate aim of Mr.. Hill and
his friends. he said was to create an all
powerful banking trust. which would con-
troll the issue of paper currency. If their
program was carried out. he said all the
currency would disappear except gold and
bank paper The pending bill. he said was
one of three, and the only one the republi-
cans dare pass in the face of the congress
siOndl elections
