LONG DEADLOCK IS
LIKELY AS RESULT
Of HOUSE ACTION
Defeat of Reciprocity IRE,
pealer" May Precipitate
Trouble.

A long deadlock between the House
and Senate over tariff bills Is pre-
dicted today, following the decisive
action of the House In rejecting the
Canadian reciprocity "rider" inserted
by the Senate in the bill revising the
steel schedule. The House refused
to repeal the reciprocity agreement
and the steel bill was returned to the
Senate today with the gentle hint
that the House will stand pat on that
decision.
Congressman Underwood. the ma
jority leader, did not even ask for q
conference on the steel measure, and
the overtures must come from the Sen
ate unless it eliminates the reciprocity
rider forthwith. The vote In the
House against repeal-1A to lOl-indi'
Gates there will be no concession on
reciprocity by the House.
1t is understood to be the intention oi
the Senate TO tack the reciprocity rider
on all of the Democratic tariff bills
II this is done, 1t probably will defeat
tariff revision at this session, as the
House does not propose to tack the
reciprocity repeal on tariff bills, thus
giving the President an excuse to veto

with several hundred midshipmen
aboard. the first division of the Atlantic
feet is today at anchor in Hampton
Roads and is expected to steam south
for Key West before nightfall. The
order directing the Massachusetts,,

countermanded and the middies will see
service in Cuban waters instead Of

Conference Is Secret.
It is not unlikely that the entire feet
will be anchored In Cuban waters be-
fore the end Of the week. Secrecy sur
rounds the outcome of the conference In
Havana yesterday between Rear Ad-
miral Osterhaus and Minister Beaupre.
But II is significant that the order
holding the first division in Hampton
Roads with steam up, was given af-
ter Rear Admiral Osterhaus reported
to Washington.
Reports from Havana indicate that
the presence of two warships in the
harbor, which were regarded as fore
runners of Intervention, have temper
arily awed the leaders Of the impending
race war. This cessation OF warlike
hostilities in the Cuban capital Is not
expected to continue long. according l.
