WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Democrats III
the Senate are lining up for hight asa'fls'
the Cuban reciprocity treaty bill. WIN 'he
object of throwing that treaty over UNI"
the next session of Congress. so that Inc
whole subject of tariff revision can De
opened up in the House.
The Senate Democrats also are inclined to
Insist upon amendment to the Panama
treaty.
The present aim OF the Senate Democrat
is 20 insist upon an amendment 10 th9
Cuban treaty providing that. even II the
treaty should be ratified at the present ses-
sion, the change In duties should not be-
came effective until action had heen taken
by Congress ut its next regular session.. ,
+ Some Democrats also are In favor OF
bringing up the French reciprocity treaty
and would make the same stipulation as 10
that instrument. the effect of which would
be TO give another lever for 2ry!nS open
tariff revision at the next session.
Senator German and Senator Morgan
We're in conference to-day more than IN
hour in Senator Morgan's committee room.
anxious that the Senator should cooperate
with them In any general policy which may
be decided upon, and that he should not
maintain the attitude of free lance, going
after these large questions solely upon his
own account.
The Republican managers are somewhat
concerned ever the aggressive attitude of
the minority at this time. There is no mis-
taking the evidences of determination on
the part of the minority to make very ag-
gressive fight.
The report of dissension among the DEM
ocrats and of incipient revolt against the
leadership of Senator German are without
foundation. There is no dissension among
the Democrats; but. on the contrary, a
spirit OF harmony prevails, and there Is
more enthusiasm among them than has
been demonstrated for some time Senator
Germans selection as leader was not forced
and did not leave ranking in any faction Of
the minority.
The Democrats are comforting among
themselves freely and with great earnest
ness. The belief is general among them
that opportunities exist in the present situa-
ton for making political capital which will
be valuable. and the only question is one of
ways and means to effect that desired OBJ
ject most readily.
The Democrats are very anxious to enlist
the support Of some Republicans in their
programme Of procrastination for the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. They know very
Well the existence of Republican opposition
TO that instrument. although the Republic
ans are trying to veil that fact. The Dem
ocrats feel they would gain a point if the
amendment they propose. providing that
Congress put the war-tariff rates into ef-
feet, were adopted by combined Democratic
and Republican vote. That would pass the
question up to the next Congress and re-
Heve the Democrats, as party from re-
sponsibility for doing.
