WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Prof. Elliott, o
the Smithsonian Institution, has returned
here from Ohio. where he spent the sum
mer. He had an interview with Senato
Harrison, chairman of the committee OF
territories today in regard to his bill pro
Yiding form OF government for Alaska
He says that Harrison told him the bill
introduced last session making Alaska 8
Judicial district, would he reintroduoe6
the first day of the coming session. and
that its carly consideration could be
depended II ION. Elliott says, the indica-
Ilons are IL bill forming Alaska into g
judicial dist Il, will be passed inside of
sixty days after the meeting of congress,
THE sPEAKERsHlp CAMPAIGN.
The striking feature of the speakership
campaign today he's been the growing
bitterness against Randall. This was best
illustrated by sharp colloquy between
Morrlson and "Bili'' Eaton. Morrison is
an aggressive supporter Of Carlisle. Eaton
although he, curiously enough, denies that
ne Is for Randall, is, on account of his dec-
leratlon on the tariff question, is one of
handalIs most practical supporters. Nor
rlson arraigned Eaton for his attitude ON
the tariff question and for his support of
Randall. 'The tariff com mission" he
SAID, 'fs an abomination You have
yourself said that it was fraud.
and have said that you were deceived
at the White house. Yet the
tarlf commission was in great measure
the work OF Randall. 1t is denounced by
the Democratic party, yet we are told that
the Democratic party can only be saved by
making one who is responsible for it
speaker. 1t is part of the whole tariff
PoIicy; II 1t Is necessary that things shall
go on as they are let the Republicans stay
ana Dc responsible for it. Don't saddle
hepubllcan measures upon the Democratic
party. Randall does not represent his
party. If he does, there is no reason
why Ihe Democrats should
DC put IN power. Let the rascals stay in
II nothing is to be accomplished by put
ting them out.
morrison ran on in this vigorous way
Tor half an hour, giving Eaton scarcely a
chance to speak, except to say that he wa,
not going to cnt his throat for the Demo-
cfatlo party. There is very bitter feeling
against Randall. 1t seems to grow more
intense as members arrive. 1t is especial
~ noticeable among southern men. If
Randall gets the vote from the south that
ne expects there will be very sharp divi-
sion among southern men. The leader. ara |
becoming so violent against Randall that |
IL does not seem possible that a delegation
can be divided in his savor.
Some sharp comments have been heard |
to-day on Senator Brown, of Georgia. He |
Is charged with having been responsible
1or the statement that the Georgia press
came out for Randall. Az examination of
the Atlanta Constitution, which has been |
made at Carlisle's headquarters, fails To
olsclo5e any such arguments in favor of
Randall as were reported to be there. RAN
dail Is undisturhed by the outcry against
him. He expresses his customary stolid
conhdence in his success. The letter of ex
senator Gordon, of Georgia, helps him.
Carlisle's confidence increases with every
arrival He said to-day: Il am ooiYo, 70
be elected as certainly as 1 live. If the
vote should be taken to day I should have
more on the first ballot than both of the
opposing candidates. Springer is not in
ended ~ both, AID tais ratio is maintained
|l.h every erriy'L' Every member that
has arrived has beea seen, and his position
pretty accurately determined. Carlisle's
tfeuds are so confident of success that
they DO not talk of a second ballot.
They say they do not propose TO allow any
combinations 10 be made against them
they intend to elect Carlisle on the first
ballot. They mske the estimate of this
strength on the first ballot:
