Senator William B. Allison. of Iowa, chairman
of the Approp -iations Committee of the Senate.
and also one of the most Influential members OF
the Finance Committee IN the city yester
day at the Albemarle Hotel. There was a re-
port that a subcommittee of the Finance Com
mittee was TO meet here this week to begin
work on a financial bill for presentation at the
next session of Congress.
There is no meeting scheduled for the present.
according to Senator Allison. but he said: Il

time in May. saw Senator Aldrich for few
moments yesterday, and We talked the matter

bill that will prove satisfactory. If we have the

be modifed-wiu be drafted. presented and

ciaI stringency in New-York: but conditions are
rot had There mas never been a time when
there was so much money in the country; when
the per capita circulation so large Money

mand for money for legitimate business. This
makes the price of money higher. Possibly it
is per cent higher than in dull times. but it is
q healthy sign This money is not being squan-
dered or put to worthless use. 1t is developing
the country and flowing in legitimate channels.
About these new securities that have been
manufactured? Possibly there are a great many
of them, but time will adjust them. Elim-
mate the common stocks, which in many In
stances are not looked upon steady earning

interest and coming with the natural expansion
of the country.

IT'S UP TO CONGRESS NOW
CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Treaty Ratifcations E.rchanged-
Special Session to Begin NOU. 9.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington March 31.-The last act but one
in the accomplishment of Cuban reciprocity took
place at the State Department to-day IN the
formal exchange of ratifcations of the treaty,
the Cuban Congress having accepted the con-
vention as amended by the United States Sen
ate without change. To-days formality was
slightly different from the customary exchange
of treaties, this being made necessary by the
short time intervening between the action of
the Cuban Government and the expiration of the
limit stipulated by the treaty itself within
which ratihcations had to be exchanged. This
difficulty was surmounted by Secretary Hay IS
delivery to Minister Quesada of the copy exc
cuted by President Roosevelt and the signing
of a protocol reciting the fact of exchange and
binding the Cuban Minister to deliver the other
copy bearing President Ralma's signature to the
State Department as soon as it arrives in WASH
ington. the American Minister at Havana Mr..
Souiers having cabled satisfactory assurances
that it was already on the way.
The President and Secretary Hay are much
gratified at the completion of the diplomatic
end of the negotiations, which leaves only one
step necessary to put the provisions of the treaty
into effect namely, the passage by Congress OF
a simple joint resolution of approval
With view to enabling Congress to pass the
necessary legislation without infringing the
regular work of the session, the President will
call an extraordinary session TO meet on NoVem-
Der 8, and it is hoped that the simplest form of
resolution asserting the approval Of both houses
will be introduced and promptly adopted. In
such form 1t is not believed that the expression
of approval need provoke any general debate
or that it would be made the occasion for such
tariff dfscussion it is appreciated the Demo-
Gratis intend to indulge in at the long session
With reasonable expedition such a resolution
as outlined could be promptly passed, reci-
procity with Cuba made an accomplished fact,
and some time would still remain for the or
panization of the House under Speaker Cannon
and the completion Of the Senate committees,
vacancies In which were not filled at the recent
special session.
The President will lose 10 opportunity to Gre
ate sentiment in favor of the Cuban treaty on
his trip through the West, and VIII endeaVor TO
disarm opposition if in any instance he finds
that such exists.
