BRITISH AMBASSADOR
EXPECTED NEXT MONTH
Delays of Routine and Travel Thought
to Make His Earlier Arrival
Impossible.

The arrival of the new British am
bassador. Sir Henry Mortimer Durand.
is expected about the middle of Decem-
Der at the earliest. and there is a great
probability the date may be even later.
Embassy officials here have had no ad-
vices to indicate their new chief would
reach this city this month, and they do
not believe he will find IL convenient TO
come sooner than five or six weeks
hence.
Sir Henry Is now in Madrid to pre-
sent his letters of recall and pack up
his personal belongings for the trip to
this country. This will occupy his at
tention for some weeks. when he win
travel back TO London and spend at
least a week there receiving instruc-
tons from the foreign office Some
days more may be occupied with his
personal preparations or waiting for a
steamer. and then will come the six
days trip across the ocean.
Taking into consideration all the Incl
dents of official duties and travelling de-
Esys. the estimate made will bring the
calendar TO December Is.

"SPOLIATION OF WEAK"

MANCHESTER. Nov. THE Guar

the United States for its attitude to-

intimates that the American govern

What the facts really amount TO Is
that the United States. coyeting the

Procedure to Carry Forward the
Cuban Reciprocity Legislation.

President Roosevelt this morning held
most important conference with lead
ing members OF the Senate Committees
on Finance. Foreign Relations. Rela-
tions with Cuba. ard one or two others.
There were six present, Senators Al
drich, Allison. Platt Of Connecticut.
Spooner. Cuilom and Hale all prominent
members of the committees named. with
the exception OF Senator Hale, who is
head OF the Committee on Naval Affairs
and high in rank on the Appropriations
Committee. Of which Senator Allison is
chairman.
Senate Steering Committee.
This sextet is virtually the force that
molds the course Of business in the
Senate, and those present at the con-
ference constitute the steering commit
tee OF the Republican side There was
a general discussion OF the business to
come before the extra and the regular
sessions. The Panama situation was
taken up. and financial legislation was
considered.
Tie question that occupied most ae-
tention. however. was what form OF
procedure should be followed to enact
Cuban reciprocity legislation at the ex-
ira session There are different views
on the subject, some favoring merely
bill or joint resolution approving the
treaty as ratified. This might embody
the act itself
Others take the view that a tariff
measure OF a detailed nature should be
passed. So FAR as could be learned. no
agreement was reached.
Form of the Bill.
The form OF the bill which is to make
effective the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
has been the subject OF much considera-
ton in Legislative circles within the
past twenty-four hours. and the best
opinion now seems to be that the meas
ure, which is TO occupy the boards at
the special session Of Congress. will be
very short, not exceeding 200 words In
length.
1t is not beIieveds that every article
subject to a tariff duty need be specifi-
cally mentioned. nor Is it believed that
there viii be any reference whatsoever
in the bill to the treaty itself The
measure viii declare In substance that
when Cuba. by legislation. has provided
for certain reduction OF duties on Amer
ican-made goods (followingg those laid
down by the treaty stipulation). the
President shall be authorized to declare
by proclamation that these Cuban prod

dutiable shall come IN at a reduction
AS soon an the House Committee on
Ways and Means shall have been ap-
