CHICAGO, March Il.
A Washington special says there was
considerable figuring there by Senators,
both yesterday and to-day, as to whether
Caldwell will be turned out after all,
The general conclusion as to TIE vote on
the Morton resolution is that 1t will be lost
by vote of 80 to 80, the majority of the
Democrats voting against it. On the
Alcorn substitute, expelling Caldwell,
the vote is put down as 35 to 81, but it
requires two-thirds to expel. The de-
bate this week may completely change
these figures, but if. the vote were taken
to morrow, it is conceded that the above
would be the result.
