first Monday in December, fixed by law
for the regular session to begin, falls on
December this year. BY beginning on
November Q there will be plenty Of time to
dispose OF the Cuban tariff matter. The
program of the republican leaders In con-
gress will be, unless there is change In
their present intentions to permit the dem
ocrats all the opportunity they desire dur
ing the extra session to discuss questions
of tariff and reciprocity and kindred sub
jects. After the regular session begins lit
