Washington, u. g, Nov. 2~0.-Toaay's
proceedings in the Senate dissipated al
hope Of an early disposition Of the Cuban
bill By that body.
Il i IN fact. 4 pretty safe prediction
tha; the bill yesterday passed by the
House ana now pending III the Senate.
| VIII not become d law before we'll along
in the regular session. So apparent j.
this, that one o. the Republican leaders
in the Senate tonight remarked TO the
| News and Observer correspondent:
1T will be we'll in December before the
Senate gets 10 4 vote. We are trying
% get an agreement tonight from the

! Senate today, Mr.. Bailey Dem.). o.
Texas. expressed The belief that the de-
bate on the measure would continue into
the regular session, but both he and Sen
ator Teller predicted its ultimate passage.
Senator Teller viii make the principal
speech against the bill, and IN course Of
it he viii vigorously attack General
Woods administration IN Cuba. Senator
Patterson. his colleague from Colorado,
viii also make Il speech opposing the bill.
Senator Bailey will make d constitutional
argument against 1t and the two Senators
from Louisiana will oppose 1t because OF
the provision in it regarding sugar. The
Republicans, Of course. will undertake TO
answer these arguments. and then there
VIII also be much desultory talking.
Ii is easy 10 see from this programme
that considerable time will be consumed
| before a vote IS reached.
That the bib Will finally be passed and
without amendment, yer It's most strcnu-
Gus opponents admit. The only uncertain
quantity about it is as TO Wher 4 Vote
viii be reached.
In administration circles. confirmation
Of the appointment OF CIarleston's negro
collector Ccum is now being predicted.
This prediction IS based on the state
mont that there Will no longer be active
| opposition from Republicans on the com
mittee. Senator Perkins tRep.) Of Cali
fornia. who threatened to carry the fight
into the Senate last session ii the com
mittce reported iavorably, IS quoted as
saying that he still believes Crun's ap-
pointment unwise, but that he will make
no f~actious opposition to his confirmation
at this session. Others who fought Crurn
are now out OF the Senate. The commit
tee is composed Of eleven Republicans and
six Democrats, al the Democrats being
from Southern states.
