Notes


WASHINGTON. ID. G.. Aug. s.. Special.
The Republican bosses Of the House are dis
gusted with the election bill reported TO tb'
Senate. Reed says it is better to do moth
ing than to pass such q milk-and-watcl
measure as senator Iloar has reported
Senator lIoar discovered from the sentimehi
expressed in the two caucuscs that NJ
- force " bill could be- passed: that enough
Republican Senators would oppos,
any rigid bill TO beat H.
lloar had been posing before tho
country as a champion of "Irec and faii
elections" and had declared a force biz
necessary TO procure such. lie was NOT
willing to let tine country see that he had
not influence enough with the senate tc
procure the passage Of a bill which Dee had
so ardently championed.
Rather than suffer such humiliation Iloar
cmasculatcd the bill i'm the hope that IN,
senate would pass something labeled clec-
tion bill. II is safe 10 say that Reed. E0Noll
and Lodge will not accept II even if it gets
through the Senate. They are indignant
and Reed was venting his spite and extend
ing his sarcasm TODAY upon the members Ol
the House Of Lords. who are. Doe said, afraid
10 perform an imperative duty.
The Democratic Senators viii resist with
all their might anything in the shape of an
election bill. no matter how mild It's proyi-
sions may be.
RECESS ABANDONED.
The scheme 10 have the House take a TO-
10. fsr Il fnf'tft
through, rs the Speaker could not bo pre-
vailed upon to give il "A chance. IL encoun-
tered such fierce opposition from the Repub-
lican Senator's that Reed felt 10 the better
part OF discretion 10 take a stand against
the move.
FREDERIcKsBURG's BUILDING.
The House Committee on Public Build
ngs and Grounds has reported iay0rahly
the bill for the erection OF a public building
az Frederick sburg. with an amendment re-
ducing the amount Of cost from Sj0.o0o to
$4,000. Unless Speaker Reed can Dee pur-
suaded 10 relent and permit the cOn,idcra-
iion of public building bills, all of them will
die on the calendar or in committee. Al
least it is scarcely probable that be- would
consent 10 any more than consideration Of
the bills fayOrably reported from the Com
mittee of the Whole. Mr. Reeds last IT,
spOnsc To a request for a day for public
building bills was that enough Of such bills
mad already been passed.
