CUBAN RECIPROCITY BILL
EVIDENTLY WILL PASS

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 16.-
1t is quite evident this morning that
the Cuban reciprocity bill will pass
and Cuba will get the twenty per cent
yagreed upon. The sugar deferential,
which the Democrats have fought very
hard and who have had the aid of
some Republicans. will not be taken
off, and when the bill passes this
week, probably on Friday, it will be in
the shape agreed upon by Republican
party leaders. Sugar beet men this
morning gave up the fight but profess
satisfaction that the differenual is no
larger.
The Chinese exclusion bill will have
passed the senate by this afternoon.
Several amendments We're offered this
morning when the senate met. but all
of them were voted down. Final vote
will be taken before the senate ad-
journs. and will show a majority in
favor of the passage of the bill
