WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The fight for tho
Tpeakership Of the house Of representative,
is approaching a climax, and all the indica
items now seem to point to the nomination
OF Thomas B. Reed in the Republican caucus,
which has been called to meet at noon or
Saturday. Great significance is attached t.
the fact that two Of the three Republican
congressman from Missouri who are pledged
to Mckinley went into the conference OF
southern Republicans recently held at the
home Of Representative McComas
Asking Mckinley TO withdraw.
Tie leading spirit among the southern Re
puhlicnus is Congressman Wade Of Missouri,
who is an open supporter Of Mr.. Reed. Ith

Kinsey, Of Missouri. viii 90 over from the
Mckinley 70 the Reed forces before satur
day Some Of the friends Of Mr. Mckinley
have been urging upon him the advisability
Of withdrawing from the contest, and it is
believed that he has this question iihder con.
sideration.
The secret OF Reeds Strength.
TIE strength shown by Mr. Reed is gener
ally attributed to the interference Of the
senators from Pennsylvania. Both Mr.. Cam.
eron and Mr.. Quay deny that they have
taken an active interest in the matter, but
The general impression is that they have in.
