Cuban Reciprocity Treaty Will
Not Become Effective Till In
dorsed by the House.
AGREEMENT IN committee.
Strength Shown by the Minority in
the Senate Causes Consterna-
ton Among Administra-
ton Leaders.
The Republic Bureau.


Washington. March 12.-Democrats have
drawn first blood in the extra session Of
the Senate through a victory won to-day in
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons regarding the Cuban reciprocity
treaty. The committee voted, to report the
treaty favorably. but not until an amend
ment had been adopted requiring concurrent
action on the part of the House.
The members Of the minority party have
contended from the first that 1t was neces-
sary for the two branches of Congress to
act jointly on Cuban reciprocity by reason
of the change in the revenues which Is n,
volved by the ratification of the convention
masmuch as the House will not meet un-
III next December, the treaty cannot 20
into effect until after that time, even IL
form.
The result of this action will be far
reaching. The Cuban treaty will be rati
fed eventually by the House. which needs
only a majority vote, and not the two
thirds vote required by the Senate.
But the more Important result will be that
when Congress meets again ii is probable
that the tariff question will be opened for
prolonged debate. This is OF the oh
3ects of the Democrats In forcing the a6op-
that they contend that. under the Consti-
tuition. the House must pass on revenue
bills.
The force of the Democratic minority is
felt as 1t never has been before. 1t is
shown that, with a vigorous leader like SEN
ator German. they can accomplish wonders
CONSERVATION has attacked the Republican
ranks at the strength shown. though the
administration leaders profess not to be
alarmed.

PRESIDENT DISCUSSES
PLANS FOR WESTERN TRIP.
To Leave April 1 and Spend Several
Weeks in Yellowstone Park Be-
fore Going to st. Louis.

Washington, March 12.-President Roose-
velt's contemplated Western trip was sub
ject of some discussion at the White House
to-day. Senators Long of Kansas and Hop
kins of Illinois and Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow. also of Kansas,
talked with the President about his tour.
The Kansas people are urging the Presi-
dent to make some stops in their State
after the dedication of the Worlds Fair
grounds at ST. Louis on April 30.
Only one stop thus far has been arranged.
The President has accepted an invitation to
attend a meeting Of the railway branch OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. to be held at Topeka, May
!. Few other details Of the itinerary have
been worked out. -H
1t has been decided with practical def
niteness that only one trip will be made.
While no date for the beginning Of the trip
can be fixed definitely until the Senate shall
have adjourned. 1t is expected now that It
will be not far from April l.
After leaving Washington the President
will not return until some time in June. It
is likely that the first two or three weeks
Of the trip will be passed principally in the
Yellowstone Park. There the President will
seek rest and recreation. but 1t is under
stood that he will do little hunting.
