Senate Doings.

Washing on, Dec. 2.-Immedlately
after the conclusion Of the routine
morning business today the senate re-
suined the discussion Of the Cuban re-
'ciproclty bill with Mr.. Foster DAB
as the speaker. He opposed the bill on
the ground that its enactment into law
would prove injurious to sugar produe-
ing and other important Interests OF the
United States.
After speaking OF the sentiment that
had been created In behalf of Cuba
when the appeal was first made for
relief for the republic and referring to
committee hearings in the house, the
senator spoke Of the appearance Of Mr..
Thurber Of New York, before the ways
and means committee, and declared it
was subsequently developed that he
was in the pay Of the military COVER
nor Of Cuba, The senator added as his
belief that the money Of the Cubans
was used for the wrongful purpose of
missta ting the facts. In this same con-
nectIon he spoke of Mr.. Thurber as
having in his pockets money of Mr.
Havemeyer for the purpose of reach
ing "the best thought" to use Mr.
Thurbers words.

Germany Breaks with Servia.

Berlin, Dec 1.-THE reason Germany
has decided to break off diplomatic
relations with the Servian court, for
the present at least, is that the social
season Is about to begin in Belgrade
and King Peter has issued invitations
to balls and entertainments and other
festivities as usual at all European
capitals. 1t is stated that the minis
ters accredited to Belgrade have never
ceased earnestly to advise King Peter
to dlsassociate himself from the MUIR
derers of his predecessor. and the lat
ter's wife, and to demand their punish
ment. The Serylan king disregards
this advice and did not even answer the
notes, Matters reached crisis when
IL was evident that King Peter intend
ed to invite the reglcide ministers,
shake hands with them and dance with
their wives. Germany accordingly de-
olded that II was time for her minis
tiers to take leave of absence
