LESS LITIGATION AND GREAT Loss TO The GOV
ERNMENT.
(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WAsHINGroN, Feb. 1O.-The House of Representa-
tives spent good part of yesterday and almost all
of to-day on q bill to undo the work of the Hot
Springs Commission. The bill was passed about
the middle of the afternoon, and the Oyerworked
House then adjourned.
The final vote OH the bill was 125 for to 12l
against Almost all the Democrats voted in the
affirmative.
1t Is the opinion of some of the best lawyers in the
House that if the bill becomes law it will not only
upset the work of the Commission which has been
engaged for several years investigating the whole
subject and in making awards upon testimony
offered but that it will also open the way to end
less litigation and cause great loss TO the Govern
ment.
1t is regarded as somewhat peculiar that the adj
yocates of the measure could not show that any
considerable number of the settlers who are di-
rectly interested demur to the findings of the Com
mission or ask for any further legislation on the
subject Neither did the friends of the bill attempt
to cast any discredit upon the Commission OF It's
works.
1t is also regarded as suspicious that an attempt
was made to rush the bill through without discus
sion under a suspension of the rules; and further,
that it was at last pressed to vote without allow
ing the House more than one day to study and con,
slider its provisions. 1t is TO be hoped that the bill
will receive more careful scrutiny and deliberate
consideration In tie Senate that 1t has III the
House.

were heartily in favor of Sherman, and that the
opinion had spread among them OF late that IL was
time for them to express themselves In q way to
make their influence felt In reply to question as
to the grounds upon which they desired Mr.. Sher-
mans nomination, he said'
1--WE believe Mr. Sherman would give us thor
oughly good business Administration. He under
stands the resources of the country and their capa-
city for Development We have the greatest coun-
try in the world. All the others are pigmies COM
pared to it. Our wealth is enormous. We
don't half understand it ourselves until we
contrast our condition with that Of the
pinched and half-starved nations of Europe. We
want man at the head of the Government who IS
familiar with our agricultural industries and trade
and knows how they can be promoted. We are now
at the beginning of great business epoch, when
different type OF men from politicians will be
needed in high offices TO give stability and pros
perity to our affairs"
What objections do you hear urged to Mr.. Sher-
man 7"
"None whatever save that he is cold in his'man-
ners. a friend said to me the other day that 1t
would be January all the year IN the White House
if Sherman were President. replied that nothing
would satisfy my friend but shouting negro
camp-meetng style of administration, and that as
for me | didn't care whether Sherman was cola
socially or not as long knew he was honest and
capable, and would pay out sound dollars, ana COM
pretended the business needs OF the country"
8 Is the Sherman movement spreadingP
"Undoubtedly 1t must spread because it IS
based on good sense People realize that the safest
man to put in the White house IS the man who has
done so we'll in the Treasury-the man VINO has
brought us back TO sound money, steady values and
business prosperity"
