dent has requested Senator Bruce to call on
hlm to-day about the rupture between him
sell and Senator Bi uce, which eliminated
ia the speech in the secret session of the

1t Is stated that Bruce declines the presi-
dental invitation for consultation with the

these matters, it is likely that the invitation
to interview, and the rejection, are anon
the embellishments to the event that Bruce

baggers bitterly in yesterdays executive
session.
LATER.-lt has at length transpired that
the President and Senator Bruce are mutu-
ally and equally Indifferent about seeing
each other. Mr.. Bruce will repeat his speech
in open session.
