Cuban Tariff May Cause an

SENATE CLAIMS TREATY RIGHTS
Much Disturbed Over House As
sumption That President .ins Full
Right to Act-Fcars Expressr! for
Elections Next Fail.

The conference of the Republican mem
bers of the House Tuesday night is ex-
pected to be the most exciting held in
years. the subject for discussion being
the recommendation of the majority mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
for bill authorizing the President to
make a reciprocity arrangement with
Cuba.
This recommendation is regarded by all
parties as compromise. and while by no
means acceptable to several members of
the committee, was adopted by ma
jority of the Republican members of the
committee for the purpose of getting the
matter before the Republicans in confer
ence, that the sense of that side might
be taken.
Should the recommendations Of the
committee not meet the approval of the
conference it will be but a slight dis
appointment to the members themselves,
for it can be authortatively stated that
the compromise is not wholly satisfactory

The Washington times., 1902-02-24

In the great jam there were people Of
all sorts and conditions-red-biank
Indians, lcosely-clad Chinese, negroes,
Malays, etc. as well as. Of course, Cau-
caslans, and every one of those thou
sands OF faces-white, rcd. yellow. and
black-was radiant with the joy Of the
cloudless blue dome above them and the
warm amber about them.
Overcoats and Jackets were worn open
and thrown back, and upon hundreds of
lapels a blossom nestled.
Chatterlng and glancing brightly from
side 20 side, the thousands strolled up
and down the street, passing and re2ass-
Ing one another till the sun at last went
down and there came into the air again
a ghost of Saturdays chill. Then the
great parade slowly began to dissipate
and ere night had fairly fallen it was no
more than scene remembered.

people follow the injunction that sufficient

Meeting for Men,

Arrangements have been made whereby
Rev. G. Campbell Morgan will speak at
the big meeting for men in Columbia Thea
ter tomorrow afternoon. To Dwight L.
Moody the credit is due for making Mr..
Morgan well known in America. For sew
eral years he has been the most prominent
figure at Mortified.
Mr.. VIII Moody carried out a part of
his fathers plan in inviting Mr.. Morgan
to come to America to take the lead in the
Mortified extension movement, under the
auspices of which Mr.. Morgan comes to
Washington. 1t is doubtful If any hall in
the city would accommodate the great
crowd of men who will want to hear his ad-
dress.
The Temple Male Quartet will sing at
the service tomorrow. No musical organi-
cation in the series of meetings has been
more popular than these men. They sang
at the meeting recently held in the Lafay-
cite Opera House Admission to this serv-
ice will be by ticket only. Tickets may be
secured at hotels, restaurants, barber shops
