tomorrow at IL o. m. the trouble will
neRin. The Democratic senators, after
hoiulng midday conference with thor
colleagues 10 the House, CONQUERED in the
Joint session resolution sent in by the
House and which had been allowed to lie
on the table until afternoon. ThiB asBuree

after that nobody can foretell. The
Indications arc that the Democrats

But "suffioent unto the day Is the evil
thereof and II convention IL again des-
tined 10 DO swamped under an avalanche
OF obstructive aud controversial YER.
bosity, there will be trouble enough when
the time oomes without stopping now to
4 clsBect the prospective details.
The Democratic members held pro-
traoted conference on this subject to-
night and adjourned, about II p. M, to
0 80 q. N. tomorrow without having de-
cidsi on any def its plan of potion.
There is a general uuwillingness among
them to acoede TO the Republican pro.
gramme Of the joint session and a general
understanding that they will refuse to
sanction any action OF tho Joint session
beyond tho mere computation of the vote
4 cast. Beyond that, th6y maintain, in
agreement with Mr.. Smithers' exposition
! of the law before the Republican caucus
Of last night, that the houses in joint Bes-
sion have no constitutional authority to
go. As to what shape this refusal to
c0nour In the Republican programme
should take there is no rnuoh variance OF
opinion that the members themselves
profess inability to oonjectnre precisely
what they will or will not do. "But they
will find this the ivelieH. minority they
ever struck" ran or expressive comment
embodylng the trend of expectation on
this and other prospective legislation.
