WASHINGTON, Jon. 5. After a recess of
aflmost threo week, ' both houses of con
gress will reconveno tomorrow. Tho prin
cipal Item on tbo bouso program for tho
vrcok Is tho Hepburn Isthmian canal bill,
which Ih tho Bprelat order for Tuesday.
No limit has been fixed as to tho tlmo for
debate upon tho measure, but Mr. Hepburn
docs not contcmplnto a prolonged discussion
of It.
It Is surmised In some quarters, that If tho
proposition of tho Panama Canal company
to sell Its property and franchise for $10,'
000,000, should ba made tomorrow as prom
ised, this may havo tho effect of opening
a wider field of discussion than at Ilrsl
tscemod probable, and If this should provo
to bo tbo ca'so. tho bill may bo beforo thu
houso for a longer tlmo than 1b how con
templated. Mr. Burton has given notlco of a spoech
on tho bill und It Is undurutood that thoro
lino will be other Hnoerhest In rrltlrlMti nf
ftpcclal fcaturcc of tho measure, but Its
friends nro very snngulnn, not only that tho
till will paBS, but that It will pass speedily.
Kxpcntn Mmrl Debute.
Mr. Hepburn, tho nuthor of tho bill,
thinks that only a fow dnys of dobato will
bo necessary.
It Is expected that by tho tlmo tho canal
bill Is disposed of there will bo ono or
fnoro appropriation blllB ready for consider
ation by tho house. None of the appropria
tion bills havo been passed on by tho ap
propriation committee, but both tho urgent
ooucioncy, ana mo pension dims aro in
a, forward state, and tho expectation Is that
thoy will bo considered by tho corainttteo
during tho current wcelc. The prosent tn
tontlon Is to glvo first attention to tho
deficiency bill. Tho estimates for that bill
aggregate $12,000,000, and It Is not believed
that these figures will bu scaled down ma
terially. The scnato has no program for tho week,
end very Uttla business on Its calendar, as
tbo reorganization c't tho scnato commit
tees did ngt.,tuHo., place) until Just beforo
tho holidays. Thoro nro a fow brtdgo
bills roportcd, and Senator Morgan's bill
lor tho acquisition of right-of-way for tho
Nicaragua cnnnl Is among tho measures In
position to rocolvc attention.
niKtit of war nm.
It Is not probable that tho right-of-way
1)111 will recoivo ronsldoratlou nt this time,
(ho disposition being rather to nwatt tba
action of tho hoUso upon tho general sub
ject and then huvo tho scnato predicate Its
pctton on the houso bill. If this courso
phould be decided tho canal question In tho
jpcnatq will bo postponed for a fow weeks.
Tho commltteo on tho Philippines will
take up tho Philippine tariff question very
Boon, but thero Is yet no Indication as to
how much tlmo tho matter may consumu In
committee. Hence thero Is no probability
that the senate itself will bo able to reach
that question tor nomo tlmo.
Senator Fryo Is engaged on his roport In
tho shipping bill, but Is not yot Ohio to fix
tho tlmo for Its completion. Tho announce
'xnont of Senator Scwell's doath probably
will be mado tomorrow, In which evont
there will bo an Immediate adjournment
for tho day. An adjournment from Thurs
day until tho following Monduy Is con
templated. .Memorial Cninniltlee'n Hill.

White. House,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jnn. C. (Special. )-Cuba
has held Its first national election. Toman
Estrada Palma, has been choxeti as tho first
chief magistrate of tho little republic, soon
to tio ackcowledgcd as ono of tho family
of nations. Tho president and the senate
of tho United States must now dctermlno
whether this country shall become "a cruel
stepmother," or an Indulgent guaidlan of
tho Infantile nation.
When tho treaty of Paris was ratified
by tho scnato In Washington, tho lost ties
which bound thu Queen of the Antlllos to
tho Iberian Kingdom wero severed. That
treaty not only separated Cuba from Spulu
politically, but It wrenched asunder the
commercial relations, which hud existed
for 100 years. Up to the outbreak of the
Spanish war In ISPS. Cuba found n ready
mnrket for most of her products In Spain. It
Is tho truth thnt Cuba hail for many years
sent many millions of dollars worth of
sugur and tobacco annually to this country,
but .after nil Spain was the principal mar
kot. Having been Instrumental In depriv
ing the nascent republic of an outlet for
Its products, It Is nrgucd with much force
that it is tho duty of tho United States to
provldo some, other In lieu thereof.
"Tho principal object of the Cuban re
public should bu first of nil, to secure tbo
most friendly relntlons with the American
people, who helped us In our hour of need."
Those nro tho words of tho president-elect
of tho republic of Cuba. They aro wordo
of wisdom nnd demonstrate thnt tho people
of Cuba havo mado nu mlstnko In choosing
their first president. Ho ndded that tariff
concessions In tho matter of duties upon
tobacco and sugar aro essential to tho
life and tho wclfaro of bis people.
Hlfeet of Pree Trade.
Ono of tho republican members of tho
wnyB and means committee, whoso pcoplo
nro deeply Interested In tobacco growing,
recently expressed tho opinion to tho writer
that free trade In tobneco between tho
United Stntes and Cuba would havo a de
eldodly beneficial effect upon tho tobacco
trade. Hut ho admitted that in tho tobacco
growitig sections of Connecticut, Now York,
Pennsylvania and tbo south, such an Idea
would not meet with favor. It will per
haps bo far asler to satisfy tho tobacco
growers In the matter of reduction or entire
elimination of tho duty on Cuban tobacco
than It will bo to placate tho sugar grow
crs, who are so vigorously opposing any
reduction of tho sugar duty.
It Is argued that beet growing for sugar
Is nn Industry which Is rapidly attracting
tho attention of agriculturists in every
agricultural state. Any reduction, what
ever, In sugar duties will not only provo
disastrous to tho beet sugar Industry of
tbo north, it s argued, but to tho Louisiana
planters it will mean annihilation. Yot so
sound n protectionist newspaper as the New
iork Tribune, recently published a enre
fully prepared article, which seemed to
show conclusively that a few million tons
of Cuban sugar In our markets, will havo
no appreciable effect upon tho raising of
sugar beets, and this lino of argument will
certainly havo much weight In shaping tho
treaty.
Thero are, of courso, two sides to tho
question. Tho United Stntes wnnts to con
trol tho Cuban market for cereals, meat
products, agricultural and other machinery.
and, In fact, all kinds of manufactures. To
do so concessions must bo mado to tho Re
public of Cuba How to accomplish this
without materially injuring any American
Industry Ic the difficult problem which con
fronts tho president nnd those phnrged
with tho duty of framlug tho commorclnl
treaty to bo submitted to tho senate for
ratification,
.linn for the Ciiromitloii,
It would seem to tho ordinary rMrxn n
very cusy task to suloct tho rlcht mnn in
represent tho United States nt tho corona
tion of King Edward VII. Rut tho task is
by no meano nn easy ono nt tho present
time. If cougrcss should provldo an ad
equate fund for tho purposo matters would
bo simplified and a hundred names might
bo written down, any ono of which would bo
ncceptcd from any standpoint. Jt Is con
servatively estimated that tho cost of rep
resenting tho United States In London dur
ing tho ceremonies will be between $25,000
nnd $50,000. Thero nro fow men suitable
for tho pleasant duty who could nrrnrti nrh
nn outlny for tho honor of "keeping up the
etui" or inn united states. Wo havo mil
lionaires aplenty who undoubtedly would
Jump ut tho chance. Rut after all some
thing r.toro than mero money Is essential
to ttie mnn wno win no ciiOBcn,
Tho neonlo of the eountrv iroMnrnllv u.in
undoubtedly endorso any nctlon which con
gress may tnko toward appropriating nn
ndcouatii sum for a nroner rnnreHontntlnn
of tho United Stntcs at tho ceremonies at
tendant f.pon tho coronation. Yet congress
whllo liberal, and often extravagant in all
other appropriations is uniformly penurious
In providing funds for tho diplomatic corps.
Tho salary of an American ambassador nf
tho first lank is only $17,500, with allow
ances for rent of ofilces and residence of
only about one-third of that sum. Tho
United Stntes does not own a legation
building In nny European capital, and In
Paris, Berlin, London nnd St. Petersburg
American representatives frequently expend
moro than their ontlro salaries In rents
alone. It hns comu to bo tho custom for
foreign governments lo own their own
buildings In Washington and thoro is not
n llrst-class power in the world whose
diplomatic agent in Washington does not
receive twlco the salary nnd allowances nc
corded to tho American ambassador at tho
capital from which ho comes. This Is tho
reason why' very rich mon nro sent abroad
nnd It Is bocnuse of tho enormous oxponse
attached to such a mission that the presi
dent will bo compelled to sond a million
aire to the coronation, unless congress pro
vldes for tho expense.
llrlKht lropeetN for Irrigation.
There Is at last a bright prospect for we
enactment of a general law to provldo for
the Irrigation of tho lands of tho arid and
toml-arld regions. For many years sena
tors and members from tho west havo beon
trying to persuade or forco congress to

only Inst March that Senator Carter of
Montana talked tho river and harbor bill
to death because tho leaders refused to

When tho formal speeches of tho after

"Sad will be that day, fallen will bo the

when struggling freemen feel thnt they

Mr. Ilryan said that ho wos In ontlro

England so dearly and that tho disastrous
cost In money nnd life would be a much
needed lesson for tho English government
beforo It would teach a lesson that will not

Mayor Johnson also spoke brlelly and said
that ho was In full sympathy with tho In
