WASHINGTON. August 1.-The informs-
An sont the Dispatch last night to the Of
80 ths, an agreement has been reached
Nv winch the force bin shall not be press
"a this session came from O source direct
ord reliable. Tho whole question hinges on
,bcunwillncness of ten or dozen of the Re
r,hlican senator's 20 agree 20 any propo-
.tion that would place limitation upon
d,hate. without such limitation IL is
, scnorally admitted fact that II wo ul1
.,mply be legislative folly 10 sit here for
months in the vain effort 90 tire out the
democrats bv holding long ia ly sessions
81 the Senate. Some OF the Repubncans
oarot hesitate 90 admit IN their private
conversations that thore Is disagreement
on their own side. and that Is one OF the
reasons why there - poor prospect OF
applying gsg-.aw in The Senate.
Tm BLAIR RESOLUTION.
Tho resolution offered TO-DAY by Senator
lQs.r to order the previous question will
amount 10 nothing. and his action is one
Of unbmshing cheek, because he has
done more talking in the Senate tins
session than any ten members OF
tte body. His gentle remarks on
Sis pet subject. the Blair education
IN. for TINS session alone have filed
more than two hundred pages Of the
confessional Record. and having had
LIS say, and being decidedly un-
POPULAR among the Republicans, II Is
Iot likely that the majority wOuld adopt
resolution offered by the wlndiest man IN
The senate after he had exhausted HIM
self even though the adoption OF such
3 rule would result In squeiching IN
future is postiiorous author. Ihere -

TIE SENATORIAL PREpIcAMEST.
II the leading Republican senators were
e. express their honest sentiments they
would say that the pending tariff bill ought
/, be laid over until the next session and
that Congress should adjourn 10y the
.Ith of August. They are IN terrible
trslicament over the sugar and tobacco
questions. and Mr.. Blaine's letters on the
reciprocity question have SO divided the
party that they may possibly have 10 even
Throw the tariff overheard.
ATTACKED ALL ALoSo TIE LINE.
Tho force hill Is being attacked all along
Tho line. Even the bitter Houk and lay

eee were unable % have their State Con
vcntion. which met "a few daysago at Nash

subject was stradqhhg hnAir am. any.
amounted 70 very little. They dld not
l.re give the dge-lloar-Davenport
measure an unqualified endorsement, ana

INFLUENCES AGAINST IT.
Tho bin j. unpopular among cOnscrva-
Give men all over the land, and influences
certainly at work that will prevent ITS

sfth, most reliable men here, though they
admit that II the radical senators could

o. lust enough senators are op-
posed O. having ga rules, 1T does
s...r reasonable enough 20 conclude that
,..t..tl.ra of the force bill has been
ir.ken and that the Republicans will not
,tempt to press 10 seriously this session.
