PARTY LEADERS
ARE HOSTILE TO
SPANISH CABINET
Demand for Assembling of Par.
liiament To Be Started Soon
Is Prediction

Madrid Sept S.-Conservative
party leaders are displaying hostility
to the Spanish cabinet. it is declared
by the newspaper FL Heraldo. which
adds that liberal leaders are also
criticising the government and refus-
ing to cooperate with it, This would
appear to indicate the early fall of
the Maura ministry. 1t is further
declared by the newspaper that the
Republican element will soon open a
political campaign in the provinces
demanding that parliament be called
into session. Many members of the
cabinet are reported to have opposed
the re-opening of parliament because
of their fear that debate over the
Moroccan situation might prove ON
barrassing to the cabinet.
Francisco Cambo. minister of fl
nance, has issued statement that the
charter of the Bank OF Spain. which
expires on December 81, will not be
Professionally prolonged by royal de-
cree as was reported to be the plan
a few days ago He declares bill
relative to the renewal of the bank $
charter will be introduced in parlia-
ment. In financial and political cir
cles the inference is drawn from the
statement that parliament will re-
assemble shortly.

Tax Revision and Peace Treaties
To Have Right of Way-Ses.

An Hour Earlier In Morning
Canal Tolls Vote Set for 0cto.

Washington, Sept. 2S-With a view
to eXpediting action on the peace
treaties with Germany. Austria and
Hungary and on tax revision legisla-
ton, Republican leaders planned to
day to put through a program calling
not only for night sessions of the
senate but for the beginning of the
day sessions an hour earlier than
usual The tax bill would be consid-
cred during the day and the treaties
at night.
There is a desire to dispose of the
treaties before the beginning of the
conference on the limitation of arma-
ments and since the three pacts must
be acted upon separately, leaders plan
to lose no time in getting their con-
sideratiOn fully under way.
Chairman Penrose,. of the finance
committee, is determined to push the
tax bill as fast as possible. He still
is hopeful that it can be put through
with two weeks consideration. but op-
position to some features apparently
has taken on Il wider range than at
first was anticipated.
Aside from the tax matter and the
tfeatleS, many Otnef matters OF I'M
portance are awaiting action before
the beginning of the regular session
early in December. There is an
agreement to vote on the Panama
Canal tolls repeal bill on October 10
and Senator Sterling. Republican, of
South Dakota, in charge of the beer
bill, has given notice that after the
tax bill and the treaties are out of
the way he will insist that the con-
ference report on the beer measure
and that it be disposed of without in
terruption. Other matters include the
railroad refunding bill and the meas
ure authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to fund into long time Sc
curities the debts owed the United
States by its former associates in the
world war
