CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Only Meagre Results to Be Ex-
pected from 1t.


pected from 1t.
Washington, April 14-The mem
bers of the Mississippi delegation di-
vided upon the Cuban Reciprocity bill
the other day. Five of the members
voted to take the measure up, and one
General Hooker, voted against the
motion. One member of thu delega-
tion-Mr. Spight, was paired, being
absent from the city. The members
who are thrown into the new Eighth
district divided. Messrs. Henry, and
Williams voting to take the bill up
and General Hooker voting against the
motion. Il il considered as likely
that the vote on the passage of the
bill, so far as the Mississippi delega-
ton are concerned will be the same
as that Tuesday morning upon the test
vote to go into committee of the whole
to consider the bill.
The outlook is that the debate upon
the bill will run on for some time,
perhaps week or more, and it is
likely several of the Mississippi mem
bers will have something to say re-
garding its PROVISIONS.
There is no doubt of the passage of
the bill through the House by a sub
stantial majority, larger, it is thought
perhaps than that by which the bill
was taken up for consideration. The
Repn blioans, aided by those Demo-
Gratis who poted with them to take up
the BILL have votes enough to push it
through the House.
