The Outlook for Its Passage This Session

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The present outlook
is not favorable to the passage of the pend
ing bill in the Senate to regulate the presi-
dental succession. The objection raised by
Mr.. Edmunds and other senators to placing
non-elective officers in the line of succession
to the presidency, an Office required by the
constitution to be filled by election, has
strengthened the opposition to the
bill, and the probability is that
it will be recommitted with
instructions to correct this feature.
Once recommitted, it is doubtful if the bill
can again obtain hearing this session, not
withstanding the prevailing sense of the i'm
portance of the measure. In the event of
the failure of the bill, an extra session of the
Senate will be called by the President i'm
mediately after the adjournment of Congress
for the purpose of choosing President OF the
Senate pro tenn. Senator Anthony will then
be the choice of the Republicans.
