Wa Aington. March 15.-The mem
bers Of the ways and means commit
tee state with positiveness that the
conference now In progress will re
suit In a compromise agreement on
the Cuban reciprocity issue probably
on the lines of twenty per cent con.
eess.on for one or two years On the
other hand some OF the eonferees repre-.
senting the element opposed to the
ways and means committee stated that
while an amieable adjustment would
be reached there woald be no consent
to any plan involving a reduction of
tariff. Representative Fordney of
Michigan, one of the conferees, takes
this view and has favored in
The conference a plan by which
there shall be 90 per cent reduction Of
the Cuban duties on United States
goods going into Cuba and in return
the payment 70 Cuba out of the United
States treasury Of an amount equal
TO 20 per cent of the duties on Cuban
goods coming here. Mr., Fordney holds
that this will give the desired relief
without involving a reduction of duty.
The plan is somewhat similar to the
rebate proposition heretofore present
de, except that this payment Is to go
direct to Cuba instead Of the planters.

Throughout the session of the senate
Friday the ship subsidy bill was under
consideration The measure was dis
eussed by Mr. Foraker of Ohio, Mr. Nc
Laurin OF Mississippi and Mr. Harris
Of Kansas. Mr. Foraker supported the
bill. although he admitted that he
would have preferred to build up the
American merchant marine by the
levying of discriminating duties.
Both Mr. McLaurin and Mr. Harris
opposed the measure on the ground
that In their judgment it was not con-
stitutional They maintained that it
was class legislation which amounted
to little short of robbery Of the people
for the benefit of few shipowners.
Mr. Harris made the point that the
United States now was paying more
to the American line for the carrying
of ocean mails than was paid to the
foreign ships for greater service.
