was manifested in the proceedings.
The House met again at 7:30 this evening. lmme-
diatey after the session began, an arrangement was
made whereby vote will be taken tomorrow at
la IN. The House galleries were crowded to excess
this evening, and most of the members were present
in their seats The greatest excitement and interest
existed among both members and spectators as to the
fate of the bill Although the main question on the
motion to concur in the Senate amendments was
ordered by such large majority it is no indication
of the passage of the bill. Many who will vote
against the bill its final passage voted in favor of
the main question in order to bring the matter fairly
before the House and fight it squarely,
and leave no room for complaint. Donnelly
Highly, Banks, Loan, and others spoke this
evening against concurrng in the Senate amend
ment Woodbridge, Hill, Davis, and Dawes spoke
in favor of a concurrence, while Niblack, Fnck
Hise and Ross spoke against the bill altogether.
The House adjourned at late hour, with no one
knowing definitely the fate of the bill tomorrow

counted 81 members against conCuTing in the Senate
amendments, and 81 for concurrence. On the other
hand, the friends of the bill canvassed the House.

makes so members in favor of the bill. 1t Is
claimed this number will carry it through, as
number of Republicans and Democrats who
are opposed to it will absent themselves and not
vote. Absentees may come in however, and change
all calculations made. Telcgrams have been sent
TO absent members who can arrive in time to come
on at once 1t is said that the Democrats of the
Tennessee delegation portion Of the Democrats of
the Kentucky delegation, and two three of the
NewYork delegation viii vote for the BILL if neces-
sary in oder to pass it, So the fate of the bill Is said
to lie with the Democracy Some assert that the
putting off the vote on the bill until tomorrow is
dodge of the Democracy to allow the bill to pass, and
let the President keep il the necessary 10 days
vetOng it at the last moment, and then they can
fibuster through the remainder of the session, and
prevent its passage over the veto. This Is less
probable as il is also asserted that the President will
sign the bill if passed.
