END OF SESSION
IS NOT IN SIGHT
Deadlock Between House and
Senate Likelihood of
Midsummer.
MANY MATTERS INVOLVED
There Is Disposition to Amend
Reciprocity Bill in Upper
Branch.
Washington, May 24.?Deadlock,
hard and fast, between the House and
Senate is a likelihood of midsummer;
in the opinion of leading Senators and
Representatives of both parties. The
present shaping of legislation seems
The House and Senate may lock
to them to point that way.
horns on every important legislative
proposition, not even excepting Cana?
dian reciprocity. Wide differences of
opinion and divergence of political
and economic policies lead to this con?
clusion.
The suspicion Is well grounded In
the minds of many Senators and Rep?
resentatives that there is a growing
disposition In the Senate to tinker
with the Canadian reciprocity bill and
add amendments until that measure
BhalJ be rendered practically lneft'ec
tlve.
Such action would be highly objec?
tionable to the House. That body
passed the Canadian reciprocity bill j
in good faith. At that time It was
thought that without doubt the Sen- j
ate would accept It and that Canadian
reciprocity would be made operative,
with a great deal of the credit inuring
to the Democratic party.
The old guard of the Republican .
party In the Senate is apparently In?
tent upon killing reciprocity If pos- I
siblfc. More ominous still is the fact;
that some Republicans who would
have favored reciprocity if it had come
to a vote last session are showing in?
dications of a change of heart.
If the Senate should amend the bill
vitally the deadlock would probably
come over tho report of the conference
committee. The House, It Is thought at
this time, would refuse to agree to a
conference report, evert If the con?
ferees presented one, which would
scotch reciprocity.
A ? deadlock over the Arizona state?
hood bill is regarded as not unlikely.
As the bill passed the House the prin?
ciple of the Tecall of.fthe Judiciary Is
to he In effect submitted to the voters '
of Arizona, and If approved by them
Is to become part of the Constitution
and Arizona admitted as a State. Thus
bv indirection the recall is made pos?
sible.
The Republican majority in the Sen?
ate any many of the Democrats of that
body are unalterably opposed to any
possibility of the recall being embod?
ied In the Constitution of Arizona.
They are In harmony with the
amendment offered In the House yes?
terday by Mr. Mann, providing for the
immediate admission of Arizona upon
the striking out of the recall provision
from her Constitution. In the House |
thirty-three Eiemocrats voted with Mr.
Mann, and the proportion of Demo?
crats of .the.same, mind will probably
be even greater In the Senate. Many
Senators do not see how It will bp pos?
sible to avoid a deadlock between the
two houses over this proposition.
The Free Mat Dill.
When it comes to tariff revision It Is
absolutely certain. Republican leaders!
say, that there will either be a dead?
lock or the House will yield. The Re?
publican loaders do not entertain the ]
remotest Idea of acting upon thej
"farmers' free list bill." which the |
House has passed and sent over to the j
Senate. That measure proposes such a
radloa": change of the tariff and such I
a violent assault upon the tariff plat-;
form of the last Republican national
convention that the leaders will refuse I
to acquiesce.
The proposed revision of the wool'
schedule, which the House Democrats
are to take up in earnest in their cau?
cus of June 5, hasn't the ghost of a
show of receiving the .attention of the
Senate at the preesnt session.
Republican Senators are noj dis?
mayed over the prospect of the country
holding the Senate responsible for non
action. They re gar dlt as less than
the alternative evil of the Republicans
of the Senate assisting In making good
a Democratic program for the political
benefit of tho Democratic party.

GREAT INTEREST SHOWN;
Government It Tokio Hesitates
to Make the First
Advances.
Tokio. May 2 1.?Japan, It was stated
In official circles to-day, Is prepared to
participate In negotiations for a gen?
eral treaty of arbitration with the
United States, and Is willing to submit
proposals for such an agreement, if in?
vited.
Government leaders arc deeply in?
terested In the tentative draft of the
arbitration proposal which the Ameri?
can government submitted to Great
Britain and France, nnd It Is regard?
ed as the must able document on the
subject of arbitration ever produced.
The proposal meets with hearty ap?
proval here.
r'enrn n Snub.
Washington, 1). C. May II.?About the only
obstacle to the Initiation of negotiations be?
tween the, United Slates anil Japan lor a j
general arbitration treaty Is found In the |
technical process of starting the exchange*, i
The Tokio report appear! to show very
clearly that the Japanese government hesi?
tates to make the tlrst advance because,
after nil. II has had no official Intimation
thai such a movement would he welcomed
hy the United States, and consequently may
be fearfuj of receiving a snub.
Olplomutn Complain.
In fact, there Is a common complaint
among the diplomat!*.' representatives of
most of the powers at Washington of l*ck
of such an exact understanding of the ob?
jects of the State. Deportment and the terms
of the arrangement that has been proposed
to France and Great Britain. So far as can ba
learned, no copy of the draft of the arbitra?
tion treaty has boon furnished to any other
governments than those of France and
Great Urltaln.
It Is true that any of the diplomatic rep?
resentatives of the powers In Washington
might have had a copy of the agreement
for the meressklng. but they have not been
official^- so Informed with one exception,
and that Is Germany.
The German government concluded that
the subject was not urgent as soon as It
learned that, contrary to some early im?
pressions, the proposed treaty did not carry
It with any kind of an alliance between ihe
United .States and Great Itrltain or France.
Hence. Its disposition is to await the de?
velopment of the negotiations already In
progress, for It ha? become apparent that
the original draft of a convention may have |
to be materially modified during the nego?
tiations. And even If these are successful.;
there is no telling what the United Plates
Senate may do to Ihi proposed treaty. It
will be quite time enough, according to the i
German view, to determine whether or not
Germany shall make application for a simi?
lar treaty when the Franco-British-Ameri?
can conventions take Unal shape.
No Ken.onn for Delay.
With a pretty clear understanding that the
Japanese government thoroughly approves of
the principle of a general arbitration agree- ;
ment. the State Department can scarcely j
have reason to delay overtures, unless It !
reaches the conclusion that these had better
await the outcome of the negotiations now
In progress with France and Great Rrttaln,
and the subsequent action of the Senate. If
precedent Is followed, S^-retary Knox prob,
ably will verbally take np the subject with
Baron l.'chlda, the resident Japanese ambas?
sador, as the department has decided to con?
duct all of these negotiations In Washington.
