W1LLTAKE AVOTE ON 1TTHURSDAY Senator Morgan is Prepared For a Prolonged Discussion of the Panama Situation in tho Senate. The General Supposition Is That He Will Defer His Speeches Until the New Canal Treaty Shall Bo Sent to the Senate.

Washington, Nov. 16. The bill mak-lng effective the Cuban reciprocity convention reported by the ways and means committee -will be taken up In tho house Monday and disposed of on Thursday. It probably will be sent to the senate Friday. Mr.

Payne (N. chairman of the ways and means committee, In accordance with the notice he gave when he reported tho bill' on Friday, will ask the house as Boon as It convenes Monday to begin its consideration. A rule will be reported by tho committee on rules providing for a vote at 4 p. m. Thursday without Intervening action.

On the adoption of the rule the house will go Into committee of the whole and discussion of tho Cuban bill will be begun. The program of the minority Is well defined by the resolution ndopted at the democratic caucus Saturday night. A rule cutting off amendments will bo opposed In order that an amendment may be offered striking out the differential on refined sugar and eliminating the five yean clause. The resolution made it the sense of the caucus that the democratic members should vote for the bill either "upon the adoption or rejection of the amendment." It is the Intention of the senate leaders to confine as closely as possible the legislation of the present session to the bill to carry Into effect the Cuban treaty, and with that end In view the dally sessions of the senate during the present week will be brief and another adjournment will be taken on Thursday or Friday until the following Monday. The work of Introducing bills and of presenting petitions will go forward, but with the exception of the Cuban bill neither bills nor petitions will be taken up in committee nor dis-cuBsed In the senate during the week.

It Is quite well understood that Senator Morgan is prepared for a prolonged discussion of the situation on the Isth-raus of Panama, but while he seems not to have taken any one Into his confidence the general supposition Is that he will defer his speeches until the new canal treaty shall be sent to the senate. There is an understanding on tho part of senators that even though the negotiations of the new convention be forthwith completed, It will not be transmitted to the senate until the beginning of the regular session of congress in December. It is expected that the Cuban bill will be received from the house on Friday and it Is probable that a session will be held on that day In order that tho bill may be referred to the committee on foreign relations, which will begin Its consideration at once.

Chicago, Nov. 16. A victory, temporary at least, was scored Sunday by the management of tho Chicago City railway against its striking employes. From early in the morning until dark the company succeeded In maintaining a regular service on Its Wentworth. avenue line, which extends from 70th street to the down-town district, a distance of eight miles.

The first car, manned by a newly-hired non-union crew, left tho car barns guarded by a dozen policemen at 8 o'clock and was followed four minutes later by another train. Twenty-five cars In all were put Into the service but the schedule was frequently interfered with by delays caused by obstructions being placed on tho tracks and the Inexperience of men in charge of cars. The most serious trouble occurred during the morning when a number of arrests were made, but clashes between the police and tho crowds that tho streets were frequented with during the afternoon and when darkness set in it was not considered safe to send more cars from tho barn. The last car returned to the barns at 4:30 o'clock and after it had been safely housed the day's work came to an end. More arrests were made during the day than at any time since the strike was declared.

The most trouble was experienced between 22d and 30th streets. In the blocks bounded by these thoroughfares crowds of men, women and children congregated and as tho first cars passed hooted at the police and non-union employes. This was soon followed by more violent demonstrations. Huge barricades were piled upon the tracks, stones were thrown at the cars and a hand-to-hand conflict between the police and the crowd followed in several instances. Several patrol wagons which had previously been called were soon filled with prisoners.

One of the men arrested, who gave his name as McQuaid. is said to have placed a cartridge of large caliber upon the track near Harrison and Clark streets. Thousands of spectators were in the street at the time and believing it was dynamite became panic-stricken with fear as they daslted for places of safety. Assistant Chief of Police Hprman Srhupttler. who was near at the time, removed tho cartridge and nnested McQunid.

It being Sunday the absence of traffic teams on the streets lessened the trouble for the police in the matter of blockados, but another source of serious annoy-' ance was the great crowds of idle i sightseers and sympathizers who were attracted by thoiiRands to the streets through which the cars had to pass. Dining the latter part of the afternoon, however, the Interference with tho procross of tl-o Hirs had greatly diminished and many of the cars were half filled with passengers as they sped along unmolested.
