Washington dispatch: The Hon. Sam
uel J. Randall is still confined to his
bed, but is bright and cheerful, and is
laying his plans for the work of the COM
ing session of Congress, in which he will
rtainiy play an important part, if his
health will permit. He feels confident
that he will be permanently relieved from
the malady from which ne now suffers,
and his physicians and friends encourage
him in this belief, but the medical men
fear he may have a cancer. Mr.. Randall
with Mr.. Carlisle or Mr.. Mills for the
leadership of the Democratic side of the
house, and so far as Mr.. Carlisle and Mr..
Randall are concerned there is every rea-
son to believe that they will work together
for the interest of the Democratic party
without a single jar. In all the years of
their service together in Congress, though
they differed on the tariff Question and
were rival candidates for the Sponsorship,
there has never been any interruption of
their pleasant personal relations. 1t is
interesting to hear Democratic Congress
men who have talked with both Randall
and Carlisle say the two wings will flap
together in resisting any changes of the
House rules. Neither of them will in
dorse the policy which Mills threatens to,
inaugurate of obstruction TO all legisla-
tion-except as to appropriations-tha
may be undertaken by the Republicans.
