fBY TELEGRAPH 10 THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Very little dependence
now seems TO be placed by Republican Senators
upon the order of business agreed uT"n
in caucus n week ago. The bargain between he
friends Of the Chinese bill aud the tobacco tx
scheme was In direct violation Of the programme,
and was so gross a violation Of the agreement tiat
Senators who kept their faith seem unwilling -
commit themselves again.
tits not probable that either party Will be willing
TO take the responsibility OF delaying
the regular appropriation bills for auJ
considerable time in order to take up party
measures or general legislation Il seems probable
now that after dspOsing Of the Army BILL which
may be done tomorrow. and the Corbin Butler

Should the caucus agreement be held 70 remain IN

luton providing for an amendment 70 the Con-
stitution prohibiting the payment # rebel war

WAsurXGroN. Feb. 23.-The Brtler-Corbln con-

consideration by the Senate tomorrow. The result
cannot be predicted with safety. There is GER
tainly 10 good reason for the reports which
have recently been put in circulation giving
n coloring TO the situation uniavorable to
Mr.. Corbin. Yet it cannot be said to be ell
couraging to either contestant. One Republi-
can Senator only can be counted on as certain to
vote for Mr. Butler and two more are thought to be
doubtful. with the chances favorng one for each
contestant. Senator Davis, Of Illinois, gives no GER
tam indication of the position he will take, and It
Is possible that he may hold the balance of power
if the question is permitted TO come to a vote. 4
more probable outcome Is That tie Democrats VIII
