WASHINGTON-Th house Thurs
day, by rising vote 335 to 21, passed
the bill to make effective the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. The dissenting
votes were about equally divided be
tween republicans and democrats, but
there was no record vote, the minority
having too few votes to order the yeas
and nays. The democrats, under the
leadership of Mr.. Williams, sought to
the last to secure amendments to the
bill in accordance with the action of
the caucus, but were defeated stead
lily. Mr.. Williams made the final ef-
fort when he tried to have the bill
recomitted to the ways and means
committee with instructions to amend,
but point of order, under the special
rule, providing for a vote on the bill
without intervening EIotion, was sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Cannon received the applause
of the democratic side when he enter
tanned the appeal from his ruling
made By Mr.. Williams, the speaker
saying LIE preferred to err, if he erred
at all in giving the house the right to
express its will. The appeal was ia.
bled by a strict party vote.
The debate, begun Monday, was
continued up to within few minutes
of o'clock the time appointed t.
take vote on the final passage Of the
bill. Mr.. Williams closed the debate
for his side and made an arraignment
of the republican policy of protection.
Mr.. Call, rep. (Mass.), made the clos
ing speech on the republican side
others speaking on that side being Mr.
Hepburn Qa.) and Mr. Watson Qnd.)
Mr.. Broussard, dem. Oa.) opposed
the bill and Mr.. DeArmond, dem.
(Mo.), supported it. The announce.
ment of the passage of the bill caused
only slight demonstration.
Mr.. Mcclellan, dem. Ua.), opened
the debate when the house resumed
consideration of the Cuban bill today
He opposed the measure and said it
was not in line with democratic tariff
reform.
Mr.. hepburn, rep. Qa), followed,
stating at the outset of his remarks
that he would vote for the bill, but
with reluctance. He said he was not
one of those who believed we owe
Cuba anything. This country had

reciprocity-thte reciprocity of Nc

from the speech made by the late

SIGN THE TREATY.
The Canal Compact in Shape TO Mean
Business.

The Canal Compact in Shape TO Mean
Business.
WASHINGTON-Se Hay and
NJ. Philippe Banau-Varilla, the min
lister from the Republic of Panama, at
Gao o'clock Wednesday evening
signed the Hay-Banau-Varilla treaty
providing for the construction of the
Panama canal by the United States.
The ceremony occurred in Secretary
Hays study. The Panama minister
arrived at Mr. Hays house promptly
at o'clock, having made an appoint
ment for the conferences at that hour
He was surprised to find that the Sec
retary had before him the treaty en-
crossed in duplicate. The secretary
informed M. Bunau-Varilla that he
was ready to sign the treaty. The
minister read the document carefully
and then he and Secretary Hay at
tached their signatures to it.
Hearty congratulations were ex-
changed and it was agreed that the
news of the signing of the treaty
should be kept from the public for
the present President Roosevelt was
Immediately advised of the signing of
the agreement and M. Bunau-Varilla
sent a confidential cablegram to his
fafi hot
had been signed. This evening the
minister refused to comment on the
ceremony The only official admis-
sion that can be had is that the terms
Of the treaty are practically settled.
The treaty in it's text cannot be
made public at this time for two rea-
sons. First, because of the unwrit-
ten law which obliges the State de-
partment to await the pleasure of the
senate in the matter of publicity, and
second, because the president has not
yet determined when the convention
shall be submitted to the senate for
ratification.
His purpose is to withhold 1t until
there is reasonable assurance that its
confirmation will not obstruct any of
the legislation for which the present
special session Of congress has been
called. But certain facts have been
disclosed as to the provisions of the
treaty which make it appear that in
it's general outlines the new Hay-Bu-
nau-Varilla convention is patterned
upon the proposed Hay-Herran treaty,
with the exception that the new con-
vention follows not only the spirit,
but the letter of the Spooner act.
Thus, instead of the lease for fixed
period of the canal strip, this new
treaty provides for a perpetual lease
of the right-of-way to the United
States, and instead of complicated
provision for courts of mixed compost
tion-half American and half Colon
bian-to administer justice over the
canal strip, the new treaty permits
the United States government to exer-
else the most complete jurisdiction.

SENATE GETS THE CUBAN BILL
Referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee

heIerFeo 70 the Forei9h RELATIONS
Committee.
WASHINGTON-Th senate held
its longest sitting of the session Fri
day, beginning at noon and concluding
at 3:15 p. m. The entire time was
consumed in debating a motion to re-
fer the Cuban reciprocity bill to the
committee on foreign relations. The
political line was sharply drawn in the
discussion, the republicans advocating
such reference, and the democrats
contending that the measure should go
to the committee on finance. The
motion prevailed without discussion.
The resolution served to bring out
some incidental references to the mer-
its of the bill. Mr. Teller took occa-
sion to correct published reports that
he has hope of defeating the bill, or
that he intends unduly to obstruct its
consideration
Messrs. Allison and Aldrich an
nounced their willingness to have the
bill go to the foreign relations COM
mittee, but they united in an express
sion of opinion that such reference
should form no precedent for the ref
erence of revenue bills in the future
Mr. Allison also denied that there was
any purpose of revising the traffic by
reciprocity treaties.
When the senate met today the bill
passed by the house yesterday to
carry into effect the Cuban reciprocity
treaty was received and laid before
the senate. After the disposition of
the routine business the Cuban bill
was taken up and a debate ensued
on its reference to the committee.
Mr.. Cullom stated that it had been
the custom to refer such bills to the
committee on foreign relations.
Mr.. Bailey said he had no doubt the
statement was correct, but declared
that the practice was wrong. He said
it should be referred to the commit
tee On finances or relations with Cuba.
Mr.. Tellers throught that the bill
should go to the committee on f.
name. He announced his intention to
oppose the bill, but said he would not
carry his opposition to the extent of
seeking delay.

about the middle of December, in the
regular session, and the extra session

No proposition has been made openly
in the senate, but efforts are made to
bring about such an arrangement.
