Congress Plays Off Cuban Bill Amid Senate Session Shuffle
The Senate closed its extraordinary session and began the regular one, with President's message read and debates on the Cuban reciprocity bill under way. A Panama canal treaty was sent to the committee on foreign relations, while post office investigations drew sharp exchanges between Gorman and Lodge. House actions included a plan to invest public funds in bonds and a McKinley Day bill, plus post office paper requests and Isle of Pines inquiry. Burglary in Des Moines yielded $500 in furs recovered, with two suspects arrested.
