Washington letter sketches looming Congress agenda
Washington correspondent reports Congress to convene with Speaker Henderson arriving and committees largely intact. Key issues: Hay-Pauncefote treaty, reciprocity pacts, canal question, ship subsidy bill, Pacific cable, tariff and currency reforms, irrigation and river improvements, and Philippine policy. Delegations urge Commerce Department, and Bidwell removal sparking a GOP clash. Local praise for park plans and capital improvements alongside stalled Penn Station relocation.
