WOULD INJURE
GREAT BRITAIN
Cuban Treaty May Provoke Ad'
verse Legislation.
A S0-CALLED SECRET CLAUSE
ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT FA-
VoR SENATE AMENDMENT.

London, Jan. 24-The reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the United
States threatens to raise one of the
most serious difficulties of opinion be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States that has occurred for years. So
much Importance is attached to the
matter that a meeting of the cabinet
is being specially summoned TO see
what action can be taken. There IS,
of course, no alarmist feeling as to any
possible straining of diplomatic rela-
tiOns, but Great Britain's entire COM
mercial policy is believed to be vitality
concerned. The matter came TO head
through the deputatiOn from the cham
bers of commerce of the United King
dom which waited upon Foreign Sec
rotary LansdOWne yesterday. 1t in
Guided several members of parliament
and represented the most powerful bus
mess interests from all the British in
dustriai centers.
Replying to the delegates argument
that all the advantages which the gov
ernment had gained by securing the
abolition of the sugar bounties would
be sacrificed if the Cuban reciprocity
treaty became operative, Lord Lans-
downe said he thoroughly realized the
gravity of the situation and proceeded
to read dispatches showing that Am
bassador Herbert had forcefully repre-
scented the British ODJecIlonS 10 the
treaty, pointing out that it was to all
intents and purposes a discrimination
against all the British possessions in
the west Indies. Secretary Hays re-
ply maintained that-the United States
Was doing no more than it had the
right to do, and intimated that it had
no intention of modifying the Cuban
treaty.
Lord Lansdowne added that all the
information available pointed to the
fact that the treaty would pass, but
| he announced that the. cabinet would
consider if anything further could be
done.
The delegates said they understood
| that the treaty contains a secret clause
| STIMULATING that no further measures
| of reciprocity shall be undertaken by
the United States toward the British
| West Indies. If such was the case it
| was suggested to Lord Lansdowne that
| Great Britain would be only within her
/ rights in retaliating with an increased
/ duty on grain. The foreign secretary
/ gave no intimation on this point, which
| apparently was only suggested in the
| hope that some of the members of the
cabinet who are reported to be, strongly
! in favor of. a more protectionist policy
might use il as a handle to forward
i their views.

REPUBLICANS AT SEA.
Doubtful If They Can Agree Upon a
Man to Contest the Seat.

Denver. Jan. 24-While the election
OF Senator Teller by the Democratic
portion Of the general assembly has re-
moved one element of uncertainty from
the situation, il has not by any means
cleared the atmosphere. The election
is declared illegal by the Republican
leaders. and the duel SenateS are sun
maintained The Democratic senate
resumed its session immediatCry after
the adjournment of the joint session,
and its leaders announced that they
would continue to occupy the senate
chamber until Monday morning at
least.
As a result of a conference between
Republican senators and representa-
tives of the two factions a proposition
viii be submitted in the house Monday
to recognize the Republican senate as
regular. The Wolcott men hope that
a sufficient number of anti-WolcOtt
Republicans will join them in support
% this proposition to secure its adop-
ton. In that event it is proposed to
hold a joint session of Republicans next
week TO vote upon United states SEN
ator. Should they succeed in agreeing
upon candidate he will contest the
seat with Mr.. Teller.
When the general assembly met Jan.
: the senate stood. Democrats, twenty
| four Republicans, eleven, and the
house. Democrats, thirty-one; Repub-
licans, thirty-four. This gave the Dem
ocrats majority of ten on joint bal
lot. The Republican majority in the
house unseated six Democrats, thus
changing the complexion of the assem-
bly,, giving the Republicans a majority
of two In retaliation the Democratic
majority of the senate unseated two
Republicans and seated two Democrats,
restoring the Democratic majority on
joint ballot.
Upon this the Republican senator's
led by the lieutenant governor, voted
| to unseat eight Of the Democratic SEN
ators, at the same time refusing to
| recognize the action of the Democrats
in unseatiug the two Republicans. This
gave them nineteen members, and they
organized in the lieutenant governor
I chamber, electing a full new set of Of
l ficers. The Democratic senators re-

A SENATE AMENDMENT.
"Secret Clause" Obnoxious to the
Administration.


Washington, jan 24.-The state de-
partment is considering the advisa-
bility of extending the period of time
allowed for the ratification of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty now pending
before the United States senate The
time allowed for ratification expires
one week from today. While the SEN
ators seem confident of their ability to
ratify within that time, the president
and secretary feel that they are not
warranted in risking the loss of this
important convention, and therefore
they contemplate the drafting of a
special article in the shape of a proto-
col which will provide for safe ex-
tension. Of the period allowed for rati-
fication.
The attention Of officials who have
had to do with this treaty was directed
today to the statement made in Lon
don to Lord Lansdowne by the dele
gates of the chambers of commerce of
the United Kingdom to the effect that
the Cuban treaty contained a secret
clause supulatng that no further
measures of reciprocity shall be under
taken by the United States toward the
British West Indies. 1t was explained
that there was no secret clause in the
treaty. What the delegates Undoubt-
eddy had reference to was the amend
ment to the treaty made by the senate
committee prohibiting for a term of
FIVE years any diminutiOn of the sugar
duties in the tariff laws. the effect of
which would be to prevent the con-
firmation of any reciprocity treaty with
the British West Indian colonies or,
indeed, with any country, permitting
a reduction of sugar duties. This
amendment is entirely obnoxious to the
administration, but whether it's incFu-
sion would cause the loss of the treaty
cannot be fOretold at this moment.
