summary action Of the committee and to prevent
immediate action by the Senate. Friends Of tho
administration say tonight that the letter is very
strong; that it has mIdc an impression on mnny
republican Senators, and that they confident
that democratic votes will be needed to reject
General Merritt than required to reject Mr.
Roosevelt On the other hand, the anti-administra-

is certain; that there is fight in the administers

goes and that the charges against Arthur be met
and dsprovcd. There is not much excitement on the
subject here, but the impression is that vote will
be reached on the nominations for q week or more.
