the action of the house yesterday on
the Cuban reciprocity bill. He said the

of the sugar trust and at the request
of the beet sugar producers. The lat

the members. Weeks of Michigan,

THE CUBAN RECIPROCITY BILL.
Washington, April 19.-Very high
tension was manifest among members
of the house today as result Of the
action of the house last night in over
riding the ways and means committee
Cuban reciprocity bill Chairman
Payne took the reverse philosophically
and pointed out that the effect of the
amendment was to take off not only
the differential on sugar, but also the
countervailing duty provided by the
Dingley law, result not intended by
the Dingley act an additional, or
countervailing duty is levied on sugar
coming from countries paying boun-
ty on sugar, equal to the amount OF
bounty received.
Morris Of Minnesota, who framed the
amendment, said he did not think the
claim was good but if it was, the mat
ter could easily be remedied by an
amendment. The senate by no means
has decided what it will do with the
bill The best opinion is that the bill
will remain in the committee on rela-
tions with Cuba for some time.
Teller says he will support any action
calculated to kill the bill in the senate.
Not few senator's predict the bill will
be allowed to die in committee.
