RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.
Minister Quesada and Acting Score
tary Hill Discussing a Treaty.

Senior Quesada, the Cuban minister, and
Acting Secretary Hill were engaged today
for time in going over the bases of a reci-
procity treaty between the United states
and Cuba. The matter has progressed to
the point where it has been possible to ac-
tually draft the convention, and it would be
easy to complete it and reduce it to the final
form in which it would go to the Senate in
a very short time This is accounted for
by the fact that no substantial points of
difference between the negotiators have de
veloped. 1t is understood that the War De
partment was consulted in the early stages
of the matter.
These negotiations do not slightly that 1t
is the intention to submit a reciprocity
treaty to the Senate in the present session.
though the Cuban minister has profeSsed
his willingness and ability,if the thing were
desired, to secure promptly from his gov
eminent the exceptional and extraordinary
powers that would be needed to enable him
to conclude the treaty. AS already pointed
out, the physical difficulties involved in the
transmission of the treaty to Havana and
back before the adjournment of the present
session could probably not be overcome
Still in carrying on the negotiations, the
acting secretary Of state Is performing a
duty that must be discharged at some time,
and the administration regards 1t as wise
precaution to have a treaty all prepared and
ready for Immediate ratification. The De-
partment of State is carefully protecting
far embodied in the treaty, but 1t Is be-
lieved that they are very similar TO the
items set out in the pending Cuban reci-
procity bill.

THE IsTHMIAN CANAL.
House Adopts the Senate Substitute
for It's Bill.

Amidst q general democratic and repub-
iican love feast the House today adopted
the Senate substitute for the isthmian canal
bill. In the brief debate which pre-
ceded the concurrence in the report of the
cenferees all the speakers on both sides of
the chamber, except one. expressed their
belief that the Nicaragua route was prefer
able. but rather than have no legislation
at all they would yield to the inevitable
and accept the Panama route. Some of the
speakers expressed the belief that in the
end the Nicaragua route would be chosen
factory arrangements for taking over the
Panama concession.
Some Of the democrats were not ILL
pleased with the Spooner substitute in Sc
cret. They say that this legislation places
the responsibility Of securing q canal upon
the republican administration. They con-
tend that the democrats hereafter will hold
tratfon responsible for failure or success OF
this cherished object of the American peo
pie. To that extent they imagine they can
foresee possible political capital IN the
SpoOner substitute.
The adoption Of the canal conference re-
port leaves only one bill in dispute between
the two houses at all likely to cause dis
cussion, the Philippine civil government
measure. The differences between the
House and Senate are very acute upon this
measure.
Several interesting sessions of the con-
ferees are expected with considerable de-
bate In both houses, as there is stubborn
pride of opinion in the two bodies to the
relative merits of the respective bills. All
the remaining appropriation bills are in
good shape for closing up, and with the
Philippines bill out of the way Congress
could be adjourned in a very short time.

MOVING PRACTICALLY OVER.
President Will Find Everything Ready
in LAFAYETTE Square Building.

The moving Of furniture from the White
House to the temporary quarters Of Pres-
dent Roosevelt at p Lafayette square has
about been completed, and when the Presi-
dent gets back to Washington tomorrow he
will find his desk and his chair arranged at
the head of the old, historic cabinet table,
and with the usual attendants waiting to
serve him. Practically all the Office furni-
ture that will be necessary is now in place
and the remainder of today will be devoted
to arranging 1t to the satisfaction of those
in charge. and Of course in the mos /; con-
yenient manner. -r5
1t has been decided that Presider' Roose-
welt will occupy the second foe Of the
temporary executive building for 8 living
quarters and that the third floor will hold
the offices Of the executive clerks. The
President will not sleep In White House
beds, but will use the furniture that belongs
to the house. 1t is not likely that the
President will spend many nights in the
building, as he will leave Washington al
most Immediately after the adjournment OF
Congress for Oyster Bay.

$3.50. 900 for the Charleston, 8. c.. EXPOSE
ton were reached Mr.. Bailey (Texas) pro-
tested. He insisted that IL Congress should
meet the present demands 1t would be call
ed upon to meet a still greater deficit In the
st. Louis exposition. He thought 1t was a
gross misapplication Of public money.
Other senator's. Mr.. Hale, Mr. Spooner and
Mr.. Teller, while they sympathized with
Mr.. Bailey's views, thought that the calam-
ity which had befallen the people in Buffalo.
in the assassination of President Mckinley,
had much to do with the deficiency and
should be taken into consideration
Mr.. Hale believed the example Of these
cities would be means Of stopping the
mad rush of cities for expositions. He
hoped that not again in a generation would
the government extend financial aid TO
exposition enterprises.
With the understanding that the present
appropriations were not to be considered
as precedent. Mr.. Bailey withdrew his
objection and the amendments were agreed
to.
An amendment was agreed to authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the
unpaid expenses incurred on account Of
the last illness and death of President
Mckinley. including compensation OF phy-
scans, $45 1000, provided that only such
expenses shall be paid as are just and
reasonable, no government employees to be
paid any sum for personal or professional
services.
The Bill Passed.
All other committee amendments were
agreed to and the bill was passed.
Canal Bill Goes to the President.
Mr.. Morgan presented the conference re-
port on the canal bill this afternoon, and 1t

will be sent to the President.

AMENDMENTS ADOPTED.
Bill Creating a National Board of Arbi'
tration Considered.

The labor committee Of the House today
considered the bill creating a national
board of arbitration, to deal with strikes,
etc. which was introduced by Mr.. McDer-
mott (New Jersey because Of the contin-
uance of the coal strike. Chairman Gard
ner called attention to the prostrating in
fiuence of a long-continued strike. which,
he said might be more serious than a
national panic. 1t was the general view
of the committee that a legally effective
compulsory arbitration measure would be
impossible but that one which would Sc
cure investigation and publicity of the
merits of a controversy would exert a
strong moral influence. backed by the nat
ional government, in adjusting strikes.
Several amendments perfecting the bill
were made and the committee will meet
again tomorrow to act further.

heard where the President would be during
the races.
At Red Top, the Harvard headquarters.
the men were about at the same hour as
the oarsmen at Yale. They, too. were in
the best Of spirits.
Head Coach Francis L. Higginson. jr.,
had conference with Mr.. Storrow, who is
assisting him IN the work of coaching. and
the two talked over the condition OF their
men.
Weight Of Varsity Crew.
''The varsity" said Mr.. Higginson, twill
row at about 16S3s pounds on an average.
That is abou. the weight at which the
oarsmen have rowed here during the past
five years. 1 do not think that the men
are trained too much. II conditions permit
there will be some little practice later i'm
the forenoon in order that the men may
Timber up.
At both the Harvard and Yale quarters
the only question was as to the condition
Of the water.
About 1880 O'Clock the northwest winds
had increased In force. If anything, but still
the Thames from the starting point to the
mile mark was not rough although not as
smooth as might be wished for.
At noon the wind, which had been con-
stantly changing during the morning was

where they. practiced for about twenty min
utes, after which they returned to their
quarters.
The men rowed under difficulties on nc
count of the condition Of the water, but
they showed good form.
Asked as to the possibilities of a race
Head Coach Higg1nson said: 1.-THE shell
would not live mile in this water"
Strong hopes were had, however, that
the wind would moderate later in the
afternoon, although 1t was expected at
noon that the four-oared and freshman
races might be delayed on account of
rough water.

Report on Canal Delayed.

Mr. Hepburn Uowa) chairman of the
Committee on interstate commerce, then
called up the conference report upon the

The statement submitted by him yester-
day was read. showing that the effect of
the adoption of the report would be the
elimination of the House bill and the enact
ment into law of the Senate bill. Il desire
to move the adoption of the report said
Mr.. Hepburn. In doing SO l desire to say
that / have not changed in the slightest de-
gree any belief in the wisdom of the House
of Representatives on the 9th of last Janu-
ary
At this point further proceedings were
blocked by the Speakers announcement
that the original papers were missing. and
that 10 action could be taken until they
were before the House.
THE papers should be in the hands of the
CLERK" observed Mr.. Hepburn.
But they are not here" announced the
Speaker. They must be in the Senate.
AL any rate IT is well settled that a con-
ference report cannot be considered with
out the original papers
Car I ask unanimous consent for the
considsra. .on of the report asked Mr.. Hep
burn.

Speaker. The matter must go over until
the papers are found

terest rate of the bonds to be issued for
