Special to the Gazette.
WASHING TON, Msy 16 The leaders OF |
hoth sides Of the House are making q
canvass Of their party friends upon q
prop osition to dis: snse with the consid-
Grafton of the Mills bill by sections and |
to take vote on it as whole st the
close of general debate. Il was with this !
notion that the time Of general deba
was extended to Saturday, aud II
an agreement to the proposition
ia reached the time may be still furtner
extended. The proposition came from
Mr.. Mills in this shape. The proposltlon
WAS neither accepted or rejected by the
Rspub,lcsns, who said they desired to
consult with their party friends before
reschioa decision. They are still IN
certain as to what will be best
marty policy. They expect, however,
to decide the matter in osy
so so. The Republican Senators DO
not look on the matter as favorsDly ss the
Republicsns in the House. The PROPOSE
tion will meet with opposition from some
Democrats as well as Republicans snd 1t
rather places the management OF atfslrs
IN the hands of the radicals on each side.
The matter will be settled in day or 80.
Mr.. Mills SAYS he feels confident OF the
massage OF the bill without any rsdlcal
amendments whether it is considered
Iby paragraph or voted on at once. A
large number CT the Republicans believe
thst direct vote on the bill will result IN
! it's massage, snt while they think perso l.

be better to let it go to the Senate tnis
wsy, the fear that the Interests
In their individual districts might thlnS
+ that il this were done not 81
g earnest enough fight had been made for
q them. This Consideration may result II
the rejection of the proposition, ane
some members believe that the Mills OIL
can be easily beaten IN its present shape
while others, and notably part OF sn'
New York contingent, hold tnet inc
orc in duty bound to as
l. eyery effort to kill the bill and that thi
Is can be effec.ually done by Kidding
"a With amendments. Some Of them Pre-

has no fear on that score. He says .
made the offer to save the bill from bein
irawn in the whirlpool OF Ave minu,

ie its grasp indefinitely. Up
