It is s(? rate for the Democrats , in either branch of Congress to | outgeneral the Republican* in the | political game that their success , in (loiniT SO llV crnllinrr mi nmond c-? %/ o ,,v4" inont for the repeal of the differential duty on sugar attached t*j the Cuban reciprocity bill before i that measure passed the House naturally caused a sensation, which is still-the topic of conversation]' in congressional circles,ami which ( may play an important part in the future legislation of this session r>f Congress. The U4 republicans ( who joined the democrats in up- ( setting a p.ograui endorsed I?y tho , administration and hv a caucus; and tho party leaders in the; House rely upon the claim that i the repeal of the differential du j ty on sugar is a blow at the sugar trust to square them with their constituents. It is the first ti*ic that u successful party revolt ugainst the Qeed rules has been carried out since those rules have I governed the House,"and tho ef- , feet will be watched with interest. Whether it will make the committee on rules less autocratic in dealing with members of the House I remains to be seen; also whether the Senate will allow the repeal of the differential on sugar to stand. ' lhe President's attitude toward ' the revolting Republicans wiil also bo watched with interest, as it may have an important bearing ' on political matters. Public sentiment whicb is naturally opposed to trusts is inclined to regard the repeal of the differential duty on ' rcHued sugar as a good thing and i C r> n to hope that it will lie allowed to I stand, regardless of opinion of the 1 manner in which it was passed. The senate Committee on Foreign relations has agreed to vote I on the long hung-up reciprocity treaties this week. Talk of the 1 members of the committee indicates that a majority will vote j against reporting the treaties to the Senate. As a matter of form the House | disagreed to tli? Senate amendment? the Piatt substitute--to the House Chinese Exclusion bill, andiordered the bill sent to conference, but it is generally understood that the Senate amendment will be accepted by the House conferees and by the House, as Pacific ("oast delegations have expressed their willingness to do so rather than take auy chances of having the present law expire?it will die May nth?before the new one becomes operative and the consequent influx of Chinese that would follow. Secretary Hay has transmitted to Congress a formal protest of the Chinese government against n o tho exslusion of the Chinese from the Philippines, but the protest is not likely to prevent tho exclusion although it claims it to be a violation of treatv rights, There are several reasons w hy tho outlook lor a speedy vote on the Philippine bill which is now the "unfinished business" of the Senate is not promising. One of them is the investigation now un tier way l?y the henat? Philippine committee, which threaten* to continue foi sometime, and which is being made to cover everything that lias been published and much that has not been published omcorning cruel treatment of natives by our soldiers. As long as that investigation is going on the op mucnls of the will will bavo a ralid reason to oppose taking a rote.
