There is fair prospect of an early and ami
cable settlement OF the partisan wrangle over
the appOT;ionment bill In the House. At an
early hour this morning Gen. Hawley, who IS
always conservative, submitted proposition
that each side appoint five members to meet
and confer together for the purpose OF agreeing
upon some mode OF procedure that would
avoid any further strife and filIbuster-
ing. This was unanimously agreed to, AMI
1t will probably be arranged to take
vote first upon the highest number (329) pro-
posed as the membership OF the House. and
then take up and vote upon each number In Its
downward progression, In order-325. 319, 81
and 31,; whenever a majority adopts either
number, that shall settle the apportlonment
1t Is 70 be hoped this conference plan will ter
inmate the contest, not alone because of the
appoTtionment BILL but for the reason that
continuation OF the strife must endanger a
number OF important measures pending In the
House. The funding bill. the bill for the
construction OF national library building,
and others OF Importance, might fail
through waste OF time in partisan strife The
District appropriation bill having been sent TO
conference Is comparatively safe, but should
any serious differences arise In regard to the
amendments its passage would be somewhat
endangered by contest In which each side
may be SO stubborn as to maintain It's position
regardless OF all else. Ii has been remarked on
the House side during the past few days that
the failure OF the District appropriation
wouldn't do much harm anyway" but FORUM
ately for the District a large majority of the
representatives do not concur In this view. It
would do very great deal OF harm to a people
that have TO depend entirely upon Congress for

the legislature OF Delaware refuses to grant the
