Democratic Anxiety About Eustfs
The general belief among Senators is
that vote upon the three cases OF heI-
logg, Butler and Eustis, will be reached
on Saturday next. The Democrats VIII
contend tor action upon the Eustls case,
and will not consent to any sort OF al
agreement or understanding which vii!
not include Eustis. They claim that
there is less reason tor objection to the
Eustis case than TO either of the others
The understanding is that the COMMITTEE
on Privileges and Elections will report
the case to the Senate by or on Saturday,
and the purpose is, as previously stated,
to insist that II shall receive final action
during this session.

increase over either of the two prior

Kellogg, in a letter to Senator Wad-
leig, pronounces absolutely untrue the
allegations. contained in the following eI-
tract from the speech of Senator Hi;

recently learned that Governor Kellogg
