RECIPROCITY.

Washington, April S.-The debate
upon the Cuban reciprocity bin opened
In the house today. There was much
activity among the leaders OH both
sides In anticipation Of the coming bat
tie and when the house was called TO
order at noon the attendance of mem
bers was unusually large. Routine BUSH
ness was first considered.
Mr. Lacey OF Iowa asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of bill
TO protect game and fsh in Alaska
There was no objection and the bill
was passed. He explained that when
the Alaska code was enacted a year
ago II did not include game laws and
the result had been an enormous
slaughter of game during the last
season.
Mr.. Payne. chairman OF the ways and
means committee, then moved that the
house 60 into committee Of the whole
for the consideration OF the Cuban reci-
proclty bill.
The battle began Immediately. Mr..
Tawney OF Minnesota demanded to
know upon what theory the bill was
privileged. Mr.. Payne replied that the
bill was one affecting revenue and the
speaker sustained that view. There
upon Mr.. Robertson of Louisiana raised
the point Of order that the bill did not
come within the purvlew OF the rule.
His contention was that the bill pro-
posed TO authorize reciprocal trade re-
lations with Cuba-that II was not
bill. TO raise or reduce revenue and not
amendable as such.
The speaker held that under long
line OF presidents the bill was priyi-
legged
Mr.. Newlands Of Nevada attempted
to secure a ruling Of the chair upon the
question OF whether amendments af-
fecting the general reduction OF the
tariff would be in order, but the speak
er declined to rule upon question not
before the house.
Mr. Robertson attempted TO propose
a proposition as 10 the length of gem
