ing Of the Presidents message. The
general expectation is that the mes
sage will be brief and will deal only
with the Cuban reciprocity and pos
sibly with financial legislation. In
his message 1t is expected that the
President will direct the attention of
Congress to the moral obligations af
fecting Cuba and point out the duty
Of the House to indorse the action Of
the Senate in passing a Cuban reci
procity treaty.
If the subject of financial legis
lation is touched upon It is believed
that dennlte recommendations Will be
made by the president along lines of
the speech delivered in Chicago some
time ago by Secretary Shaw. The
differences of opinion entertained by
the Administration and by leading
Republican members Of Congress on
the question of financial legislation
renders it hopeless to expect that any
thing along that line can be accom-.
plished in the short time which the
extra session has before it and in
view of these facts il is altogether
probable that the matter will be left
out Of the Presidents message entire.

Washington Aug. Interpretations Of

These figures OF the years importation

The rapid growth in the use Of tin in the

practically none of that article Is produced
