SENATE READY TO VOTE
Cuban Reciprocity Treaty Will
Be Disposed of at 8
O'Clock Today.

Washington. March lS.-Before adj
jOuruing az o'clock tonight the sem
ate entered into a unanimous agree
ment to vote on the Cuban reciprocity
treaty at o'clock tomorrow. The hope
of seeing a vote today was disappOint-
ed by the discovery that there were
more speeches to be made in oppo-
sitiOn to the treaty than had been
counted upon. Indeed, it was difficult
to secure an agreement TO vote even
tomorrow and il was evident that this
result could not have been accom-
plished but for the anxiety of sena-
tors to secure final adjournment Of
the session.
The executive session covered six
hours and was DEVOTED largely 20 adj
verse criticisms of the treaty. During
the day Senator NeWlands made a plea
for the annexation of cuba and pre-
scented an amendment TO the treaty
rendering an invitation TO that island
TO become a state of the American
Union
The debate was participated in by
Senators McEnery. Newlands SpOOuer.
Teller. Nelson, CulI0m, German, Bailey
and Carmack.
