WASHINGTON BUREAU The OMAHA BKE,

~ OphIEENTh lNIkEET,
WASHINGTON. ID. c., May 20.
It developed in the caucus of the repub-
lican members of the house this afternoon
that it is not at all certain that there will be
a republican substitute offered TO the Mills
bill in the lower branch Of congress. On the
contrary the speeches indicated that the sub
stitute business will be left entirely to the
senate. The first struggle will be over the
free wool section. Free wool will be reached
within n week after the bill is taken up, and
should it be stricken out will take all the life
from the measure and may lave the effect of
its friends permitting every conceivable
a~mendment-as many say will be done-and
then the bill may receive the support of
many republicans and pass. AS the bill now
stands it would likely be defeated by a ma
iority of from two to four. After the dis
cussion under the five-minute rule has pro-
crossed a week or two the republicans will
prepare their bill If they think 1t advisable.
The work under the five-minute rule will
progress on Monday next, the pending appro-
priation bill standing aside for awhile. Dur
ing the national conventions the tariff is to
be shelvcd and appropriation bills con-
sidered.
A FLAG OF TRUCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

pressed by prominent democratic politicians
outside of New York at the strange change
of front on the part of the administration
towards the Hill democracy in that state.
The selection Of Murray, q warm personal
friend of Governor Hill and one of his most
ardent henchmen, as chairman of the New
York state committee, is u~naccountablc to
many, especially as at the convention to
choose delegates to Chicago the administra-
finft nnphin t.rno Nrn aal
Hills friends We're left in the lurch. A
democratic politician of national reputation,
and who is close to the side of the president,
said to-day, in speaking of the matter, that a
careful survey of the state of New York,
after Governor Hills veto of the high license
bill had convinced Colonel Lamont and the
president that the sooner they gave up the
idea of decapitating David the better it
would be for the administration The entire
foreign elements have rallied so strongly
around Governor Hill that any attempt to
leave him out of consideration as a c~ontroll-
ing element in New York politics would be
impossible. AS a result a truce has been
called, and the olive branch of peace has
been extended to Governor Hill and he will
have the administrations ssGrrror.. ff1SF d re-.
nomination.
