CUBAN BILL MAY RUN
into REGULAR SESSION
Democrats Preparing for a
Fight in the Senate.
PROLONGED DEBATE LIKELY
House Democrats Declare All Pairs OF
and VIII Try TO Defeat Rule Pro-
hibiting All Amendments.

Indications are that the Republicans
will not be able to enact the Cuban re-
ciprocity bill into law at the extra ses-
sion OF Congress which was called for
that purpose. The Democrats are pre-
pared to fight rot in the hope CT de-
feating the measure. for. in fact. a ma
jOrity of them desire TO have IL passed,
but for the purpose of Offering amend
ments and making tariff capital for. the
next campaign. Although they Will
make a stand In the House. they caa do
little in that body, for the measure will
go through at o'clock on Thursday in
its present form without amendment.
The work of the Democrats win be done
IN the Senate.
The best the Democrats OF the House
can do is to make a fight for an amend
ment removing the differentiaI on re-
fined sugar. A special rule from the
Committee on Rules, which viii be re
ported when the bill comes up in the
House on Monday, Will. however, pre-
elude them from presenting such an
amendment, unless, of course, they are
able to induce a sufficient number of
beet sugar Republicans to vote with
them against the adoption of such a
rule. This, however, seems highly i'm
probable.
Caucus to Be Held Tonight
The Democrats will caucus tonight and
outline their plan of action. They have
served notice on the Republicans
through Representative Tawney. the Re
publican whip that all pairs viii be
declared of for the vote on the rule on
Monday II is their plan TO have every
Democrat in his seat on that day, and
1t will, therefore, be incumbent upon the
majority 10 have all of it's members
present, for should all the Democrats
attend and a small number of beet sugar
Republicans vote with them they might
be able TO defeat the rule. The Re-
publicans have accordingly been advised
by Mr. Tawney that they must all be
in their seats Monday.
Should the rule precluding amendments
be adopted, as 1t doubtless will be. the
Democrats can do nothing except talk
until Thursday, when the vote VIII be
taken or the final passage Of the meas
ure. there will probably be less than
twenty-five Democrats 10 vote against it,
Negative Republican Votes Scarce.
Less than dozen Republicans win &c
on record as opposing the measure
There are four members OF the Michi-
gan delegation who viii doubtless vote
no" and perhaps the two Republicans
from Colorado. with here and there q
stray member from some beet sugar
section. Many OF the old beet sugar mer
prefer. however, to surrender their OWL
convictions rather than bolt and cause

In the Senate, however, the party
amendments will be offered, and there
viii be a long-drawn-out talk, which

Superintendent Ty son Trying to Get
Permanent Employment for Some
Men Now at the House

Superintendent Tyson, Of the Munich
pal Lodging House, reported to Commits
sioner Macfarland this morning that
he was ready to deal with the influx Of
needy men that comes with cold
heather. Ever since Mr.. Tyson went
into Office. IN August last. he has been
planning to improve the service of the
Municipal Lodging House. and in the
meantime the trustees who owned the
building and rent it to the District at
nominal figure have been sraking i'm
provements which put it in bSsteT con
dition than ever. There is more room.
and it is better lighted. ventilated, and
heated.
Room for Fifty Men.
Fifty men can now be accommodated
with bath. lodging. and meals. in return
Cor woodsawing and splitting, OF other
work at the Lodging House. The house
is in first-class order. and the men who
go there are made entirely comfortable.
It Is next door to the Twelfth Street
Police Station. opposite the City Post
office, and an Illuminated transparency
attracts attention to it.
The superintendent IS very DESTROYS to
have the corporation OF all citizens and
charitable organizations, together with
the police in making the Municipal
Lodging House even more useful than
IL has beer in the past. and Commits
sioner mcfarland. who has supervis-
ion Of IT, is doing what he can to bring
about this cooperation. Merchants,
householders, and others may help In
this. and at the same time discourage
pauperism by sending needy men who
apply for help to the lodging house.
Tickets of Admission Ready.
Superintendent Tyson has prepared
tickets OF admission which he win glad
iy furnish to any citizen or society for
distribution to needy men. If these tick
cts are given instead OF money. all
needy and worthy men will be well pro-
vided. and the professional tramps. who
will not work, will avoid Washington.
There are now at the Lodging House
men who. Mr.. Tyson feels sure. would
give satisfaction TO employers, includ-
ing one engineer and several mechanics.
If those who desire help. and especi-
ally contractors and other large en-
/ ployers Of labor. will communicate with
A. II. Tyson. at the Municipal Lodging
House, 312 Twelfth Street northwest, or

PoToMAcs' LANTERN CARNIVAL.
A Beautiful Display on the River
Saturday Night.

In spectacular effect the second annual
lantern carnival of the Potomac Boat
Club Saturday evening the Potomac
river between Easby's point and the Aque-
duct bridge was the finest thing of the
kind ever seen on the local waterway. 1t
seemed to the many hundreds Of persons
who witnessed the procession from the
AQueduct bridge and the wharves that
each participant had decorated his craft
for the sole purpose Of carrying off the
first prize. For this reason the task of de-
Gliding who was entitled to the beautiful
banner offered as a prize for the most ef-
fectively decorated vessel proved too much
for the judges-Commissione Henry l..
West and Major Richard Sylvester-and as
a result two first prizes were awarded.
-Lhe carnival began promptly at $50
o'clock. when the members of the Potomac
Boat Club appeared on the wharf OF that
club house ready for the contest Presi-
dent John Hadiey Doyle took his usual
place the waters edge and directed
the launching of each vessel This work
required the greatest care to prevent the
lanterns getting wet. After the last boat
had been dipped the entire fleet, a mass
of lanterns OF every hue and with fam
taStic decorations, moved toward the deS-
ignated starting point. just below the Ana
lostan Boat Club house. When that point
was reached fireworks were set off In large
feature of the occasion. This display con-
sumed only short time, and when the
signal was given the boats began to move.

SARATOGA HANDICAP.
Hermis Looms Up as a Formidable
Contender.

Who'll win the big handicap at Saratoga
today?
Never was speculation on the outcome OF
a horse race 50 intense. Even the with
drawal of the much heralded western Won
der McChesncy has not lesSened the in.
tcrcst mite
The Gotham turf folk arrived in Saratoga
yesterday firm in the belief that the race
WAS nothing more than "a gift to Water
boy. But after listening to the hints and
predictions of the ''raiIbirds." who have
been there for several weeks carefully
watching, the training of the various can
didates for the event, their supreme con-
hdence In the ability of Haggins wonder
has been materially shaken.
The meeting which begins at Saratoga
today will be one of the greatest ever con-
Quoted at AN American race track. The
cream of the thoroughbreds will meet in
valuable stakes while society applauds.
This famous resort is already crowded
with visitors. nearly all of whom Will be
daily attendants at the mighty struggles
LetWeen the best racers OF the east ana
west.
The field for the Saratoga handicap has
been pretty we'll threshed out by the ex-
perts. About ten clean-limbed equine kings
will step daintily out Of the paddock at
post call. Every will be fitted to do
his best and that's all that can be asked
of a horse well as man. Every one.
too. will have his supporters, for even the
most astute judges of form cOncede there
is not an animal named to start in the big
race that has not a good chance of cap
turing the rich purse which goes to the
winner.
In addition to the handicap today. the
Flask stakes for twO-year Olds promises
to be a more than interesting event as
many of the first flight Of youngsters will
take part To many the temperance OF
that grand sprinter. Chuctanunda, will be
the chief event Of the race.
WaterbOy will be favorite for the handi-
cap, judging from the general expression
of opinion, but the Whitney stables will
run in close. None of the works of Satur-
day will materially affect the betting.
though Hermis is gradually retrieving his
last position public fancy and many
believe that he will win.
The work Of yesterday morning amount
ed to nothing. and both Horse Haven and
the main track were as quiet as If such
important event as the Saratoga handicap
was about to take place
