I AN4|. Nt-IN
dent and the Republican aenatofa has
been directly raised, and she Senate D
|uItimatnm is the talk Of tho day.
What does il amount 10, and whittier
will ii leaM Ia reality Ii amounts 10
nothing more thau the expression Of
en- opinion by small portion of the
Senate.
Some Republican Senator'S IN esa-
Gus. declare that they will confirm Mo
nominations made to tilg vacaneiea
created by removals unless The rea-
sons asked for are furnished. This
position will probably lead " u tafnr
porary deadlock between the Pfesi-
dent and Senate IN certain taat cases
1t is not likely, however 10 bring cn
ID very serious conflict, though there
will Be hot political disensa3ona over
the abstract principles invpl4 led.
The Preaident viii noa soerced
into abdieation Of a Wit lssre ef
the Exc ntive prerogati' gsI.lsE aal,s rS .
be relied upon 10 hold h. a aund.
The Republican Senators aye BY no
means united. A number them
who we're not prepared tsot I" sch
extreme ground, absentsd H sspes
from the cancus. There 4 ltore, ,s.i
spread opinion thai tho
leaders who afo prominel
ing up the agitation, whisl 80 Z.
sof this matter, are doing ss fFnrlish
cal effect in their own rival interests.
Still, the ultra Republican members
carried the day, for their resolutions
were finally adopted as expressing the
sense Of the caucus, aud however much
individual Senators may feel that
their party has committed q grave
error, they are now bound 70 act in
conformity with tile caucus decision.
The women are here again in anput
convention wanting to vote. AZ

Il is interesting TO look over

teenth winter that the association
made a rendezvous Of Washingto
many people will tell you, half apolg
when you meet them AZ u
deliberations Of this body, thai the
thought they would like 10 come ono
inst as a matter az curiosity. The

nine element al these meetings, bnt
there i also fair sprinkling 81 mas
enline yisages expressive of consutns
ing desire to know what goes ON at
such places. The feminine faces ex'
press various feelinga. Some shoW

bored, others cynical, and many ex-
press the sweet silineaa Of womankind

AT last evenings session Miss An
