WASHINGTON BUREAU THE OMAHA BEE, !
5l3 l3FoURrEENrH STREET )
WASHINGTON ID. c., Sept. l3. J
The deadlock which has existed since last
Tuesday was broken today and the indica-
tions are that the house will proceed to the
consideration of business Monday. Every
one experiences a feeling OF relief over tho
outlook, because almost every member has
more or less interest in the bills which have
passed both houses and which simply await
the report of the committee ON enrolled bills
to receive the signature of the presiding Of
fcer of each branch of congress and later tho
signature of the president. Tho general uu.
derstanding is'that the ways and means com.
mittce will report back the tariff bill Monday
with motion to non-coucur in all the amend.
ments and that debate lasting six or eight
hours on each side will result. Then tho
confcrees on the part of the house
will be appointed by the speaker
and the conference committee will
get right down TO work. 1t has hard Job
before it and is not likely to be able to reach
an agreement upon all the amendments in
| anything less than ten days, so that tho
| chances are against the closing of the session
| during the present month. On the contrary
| members are pretty positive that October 10
| Will arrive before the speakers gavcl will
fall for the last time the first session of tho
| F'ifty-tirst congress. In the meantime osCt.y
possible effort is being made by all sorts u
interests 10 secure notifications of tho
amendments which the senate has incorpO
rated in the bill. The strongest hobby at
| present is that representing the bindingtWue
interests of the cast Manu- facturers of this
| product who take exception to theentirc a boz
| litiOn of the tariff on binding twinehaye been
| warned time after time that their trust would
| lead to the removal of all the profits from
their product unless they made some con-
ccSsionS to the farmers They received lrss
| sympathy in their present predicumcut than
! they would otherwise, and it is not ut all
| likely that their efforts torcesMblish duty ON
| this necessity to the farmer will be successful
THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN INDIANA.
Representative Owen of Indiana IN convcrs.
| ing with THE Bee correspondent thisaftrr.
| noon concerning the outlook in his state said,
| -Four months ago the republican chance,
seemed to be absolutely hopeless. Every.
thing pointed to the success of the demo.
cratic ticket in the state, and good deal Of
apathy was felt by republicans in Washinu.
ton generally, but within the last thirty davs
there has been decided stiffcuiug up in tho
backbone OF Indiana republicans, and now
great confidence is felt in the ability of our
party to carry the state in the coming cleo
ton. twill require great deal of work to
do this, but Indiana is never carried without
work as every one knows. There is general
satisfaction among all Indiana republicans in
washington over the state ticket, and | feel

president will be endorsed by good majority
from his own state this fall
