The reIub.!caus In the Senate seem to &c
getting iufthar AID further away from eace

bouds reGeemab!e 10 1910. Shortly aitet,
ward Mr.. Stewart gave notice OF propossd
amendment 10 The DILL, providing Tor Tree

can colleagues are keen set upon the pass
age of the bill, but they fear that If vote be
reached, they gil bs forced by party pres
snre to support it. Mr.. German is one Of
those who think that In the end the Dill
will go through. Others, or the contrary,
stil think toe bill is dead, and it Ia well
known that some republican Senators en-
terrain that bsief and don'i hesitate TO ex-
press II.
Neither CT tbs Virginia Senators wac
ar.ung the number of their co!l9sRues WHO
