WASHINGTON. Dec. 8 Especial. - Repre-
sentative Harmer, Of Philadelphia, whose
long and able service In Congress places him
among the foremost Republicans, is out
spoken I'm his opposition to the Force Dill
He said to-day that IL is not only an nnneces :
.ary aud mischievous measure. but that the
Republicans are making great mistake IN
urgingit
"In pressing that bill at this session. said
General Farmer. my party VIII accuiDPlsn
nothing OF value, but may render necessary
an extra session o. Congress. In the nrst
place question very much u the biii can ger
through the senate, and IN the event II shall,
It's subsequent favorable consideration
by the House wOnld be doubtful. As
the Senate Is Offering substitute us
passage I'm thnt body would send the measure
Z back 10 the House. Now. question very Sc
riOusly our ability TO get quorum Oh lsepuu .,,
leans here this session Without ihGt. and
I'm the face OF determined nemOcr tic oppO
sitiOn. the bill would fail i'm the House.
Meantime much valuable time would nave
been wasted. Now, IN my opinion, an extra
session oil the next Congress would DE eAceeu-
ingly unfortunate, and al the eNh'r.suits
would be charged to the Republican party"
