AGAIN THE CUBAN BILL.
Was the Subject of Debate Among
the Senators.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The Senate
spent the day on the Cuban bill, most
of the time being occupied by Mr..
Bailey of Texas in an elaborate argu-
ment against the constitutionality of
the proceedings. He claimed that no
treaty changing the revenue laws that
was not first authorized by legislation
originating in the House of Representa-
tives, was valid. Mr.. Bailey also OPP
posed the bill as a matter of general
policy.
Brief speeches were made by Sena-
tors Teller, Cullom and Lodge. The
last named asserted that Cuba had
adopted the same immigration laws as
those of the United States, in regard
to Chinese immigration.
In the course of colloquy with Mr.
Stewart Mr.. Bailey said the President
believed just as the Nevada senator
did.
Then he is a good lawyer" re-
sponded Senator Stewart.
Il never heard that he was a lawyer
at all" answered Mr.. Bailey. while
/ have heard that he has spent days
and nights at lighter literature, 1 am
not aware that he has encountered
the drudgery of the law-and more's
the pity for it,"
He declared that the President, by
the course followed in this treaty, had
performed an insolent usurpation of the
privileges of the House. The proceed
ings, he declared, amounted to moral
and political coercion. Concerning the
policy of enacting the reciprocal meas
ures, Mr.. Bailey said that the first
argument advanced was that it was
duty to the suffering Cubans and
driven from that the friends of the bill
but. said Mr.. Bailey, Il say those who
Will reap the benefits are the sugar
and tobacco trusts, and they have no
right to it. j believe the Republican
senators are honest in their support.
In fact, / do not think there is any
difference between the two sides of this
chamber on questions of honesty. l
believe the sole difference is one of
intelligence
Senator Spooner observed, You pay
us a high compliment"
In his discussion of the benefits of
the bill Mr.. Bailey told of the effect
upon the Wall street sugar market with
every change in the legislation. He
said that every time the bill was about
to pass the sugar stock went up, and
whenever the bill was about to fail
the stock went down.
The Senate adjourned until to-mor-
row.
