ing Republican Senators have to-
day privately informed some o.
their outside party friends that il
is not Intended to carry the Repub-
llcan opposition to the present
Army Appropriation bill in the
Senate to such a point as would
make its subsequent signature by
the President cause of real or ap.
parent schism in the party. Their
object, they say, is to put them.

listing laws any conditions intend

and at the same time they expect,
by offering various propositions

the bill, to force from the Demo.
cratic majority some votes or decla-
tons which will be useful in q

will probably approve this bill.
There seems to be hardly any
room for doubt that he will veto
the Judicial Appropriation bill
upon grounds which have been
already indicated in these dis
patches. But it is now somewhat
uncertain whether he will consider
