Cuba as a sovereign state.
Messrs. Teller and Newlands re-

Clay followed. He opened his ad-
dress with a statement declaring in
favor of the measure and continuing
said the sole issue involved is the re-
ductiOn of the tariff between the gov
ernmentS of Cuba and the United
States. He reviewed some of the
speeches which had been made in op-
position to the bill, concerning the
trade conditions between the island
and other countries. and declared he
had made Il thorough investigation of
the character of goods Cuba had
bought from other countries. From
statements read, he said the exports
from the United States to the island
should have been much greater. The
purpose of the statistics quoted was To
show that the treaty should be put
in operation for the benefits il will
bring to this country and in that con-
nectiOn Mr.. Clay said the treaty is
purely reciprocal; thar we have bene-
fits to derive and benefits to give un-
der the legislation proposed.
He said he expected to see the tim-
when Cuba Will be the best market
of this country. Concerning the pre-
diction that the passage of the Cuban
bill Will destroy the sugar industry Of
Louisiana. Mr.. Clay said that we
could consume all the sugar produced
in the United States. Hawaii. Porto
Rico and all the American republics.
Therefore. he believed the Senators
who oppose the bill had been mistaken
in their views. He did not believe
that in the life of the treaty, Cuba
would be able TO produce enough
sugar to seriously affect the industry
in this country.

Washington, December 12-The DEM
ocrauc Senators in caucus today prac-
tcally reached the conclusion not to Of
fer any amendments to the Cuban rec
iprocity BILL when it comes up to be
voted on in the Senate next Wednesday.
Dut the result was not arrived at until
after there had been a very spirited ex-
cnange Of views on the subject
The caucus was called at the instance
OF the Democratic steering committee,
which presented a recommendation
against amendments, on the ground
that If offered they and not the bill
itself would be the basis of discussion.
The caucus was an animated one and
was sharply divided.
The point at issue was some of the
Senators contending that numerous
amendments should be presented and
others holding out against any effort
whatever to change the character of
the Dill, and standing for a straight
party vote against it. The caucus
continued until after the beginning OF
the regular daily session of the Senate
and in the end, the committee won it's
poi.zt.
The caucus also considered some COM
plants made by Senators relative to the
early adjournment of the Senate on
Thursday. Senators who filed these
complaints expressed the opinion that
the Thursday session should have been
M,
nifty for speech-mahng, and some of
them suggested that an effort should be
made to extend for day or two tho
time for discussion, which would have
the effect of postponing the final vote

culties of changing a unanimous under
standing, and it was ultimately decided
to allow the present arrangement to ve-
main undisturbed.
According to agreement between tn 2
parties, the time on Tuesday and We'd
nesday is to be evenly divided be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats.
| The suggestion was made in the eau
| Gus that as the Republicans had been

| at least give the major part Of the re-

| the understanding that if the time for
| a vote cannot be extended it Will be i'm
| possible to disturb the agreement in re-

| The only important vote taken by the
