 After che paesaks of the Cuban treaty the Senate. agreed to the House resolution providing for . holiday recess from De- cember 1s to January f.
 :. spooner Eirst Speaker. , The Senate was prompt to-day in talk ing up the Cuban reciprocity hlll. and Mr. spooher was immediately recognized. He began by remarklng that t was strange that the Senate should find it necessary to spend 50 much time in conS sideration of bin which had been so promptly accepted by the House. This attitude, he declared was Inconsistent with the attitude of senators who not long ago. were engaged in accusing the white faced patient man who then occu- pied the executive mansion with ultericr motives in standing out against war with Spain for the liberation of Cuba.
 Mir, Spooner spoke of the varying. posi-. tions of the opponents of the bill and es- pecially of the introduction of the New lands resolution inviting Cuba to be- come part of the United States depre- eating It. and saying he hoped 1t would be postponed indefinitely. because. he said sometimes invitations are regarded as commands. "a
 Hoar Was in Doubt.
 He did mot. however. believe in the pol- icy of treaties affecting the taria and con" tended that direct legislation was easier of accomplishnent than the exchange of treaties. Mir. Eoar also said that because oe his pppOsitiDn to this method he had found it dtfEicuIt to secure his own assent to suppork the bill.
 ! Mr. Hosr objected to the claim that promises had been made to Cuba and con leased that he had not looked with favor upon the statement made by the Presi- dent in his message Go the effect that q failure to pass the bill would amount al- most to .a-breaci of trust. Still. he. added, he did not intends to let this objection in- terfere with his support of the bill. Mir. Bailey took exception to the state ment made by kbGr. spooner to the effect that he (lAr. Bailey1 had been influenced towards protection because of his interest In the cattle, business of his State. T, dis claim any sympathy with any biii an disayow any opposition to any hill aftect- inK my intereSt of my own State because of sentiment in that State favorable to protection" ile said. He explained that his position on all matters relating to revenue only. <, ess
 MT. spooner disavowed any intention of ITnpugning the motives of Mfr. Bailey. Bailey and the Conetitution.
 Afr. Bailey then discussed the eonstitu- tfonal questions involved in the bill. maip- taining that the House had the exclusive right to- originates revenue legis;ation- and had no power over treaties. Mr. Bailey discussed at some length the attitude of the DeulOcrattc 6euatOtee A8atHot EeCapEoC- ,ty provisions of the Mckinley law and
 he fact that the party had divided on this and other matters,
 But" he said, turning towards thr Republican side of the chamber. you will hereafter get no Senators votes for
 he White House on this side of the cham Der; youslI have to take care of your selveS .n the future.
 This statement was accepted las d. sact reference to the decision of the Dem ,cratic caucus Co stand as unit on all measures agreed upon by two-thirds vote of the caucus and aroused quick in- crest. 7
 "tNhy?'' asked Mfr. Aldrich. and he
 Hlxed the question two or three times
 efore Mir. Bailey could reach the end e lis sentence. While the query was being nut and reiterated Mr. Bailey was pro seedine to say that when the reason waE 'uHicient and White House meaaires were good. they would get all the Demo- ratio Yotes."
 Then he made reply to dr. Aldrich's re- iuest for an explanation of the reasons !or the statement just made.
