Washington reports the Aldrich financial bill will be reported to the Senate tomorrow and taken up for debate around February 10. Sen ator Aldrich expects about two weeks of discussion with rapid speeches to minimize lost time. Democratic opposition, aided by Mr Bryan, appears not to be prolonged. The measure seeks changes in banknote security using railroad bonds where appropriate and broadens use of municipal and county bonds as security, with tighter Treasury investigations.

No reciprocity treaty exists but champagne duty concessions were granted to protect Porto Rican coffee and American petroleum. Cottonseed oil duties remain unchanged, with provisions to withdraw champagne concessions if French duties on any American product rise unjustly. The deal strengthens tariff leverage and signals favorable treatment for allied nations.
