Monday will be devoted to the read
ing Of the president message. The
general expectation is that the mes
sage will be brief and will deal only
with Cuban reciprocity and possibly
with financial legislation. In his mes
age it is thought that the president

Cuba and point out the duty of the
house to endorse the action of the
senate i'll passing the Cuban recipco-
city treaty.
If the subject Of financial legisla-
ton is touched upon it is believed that
detinate recommendation will be made

extra session has before it and in

probable that the matter will be left
