ELECTION BILL PROSPECTS.
Mr.. Rowel Thinks IL VIII Pass, but No
In Time to Affect the Fall Elections

Mr.. Rowell Thinks 1t Will Pass, but Not
In Time to Affect the Fall Elections.
TIE SENATE MOT LIKuLy 70 pIsposr OF sus
TARHp Bill FoR MAuy WEBS TO conH-oxLy
FOUR SAaEs OUT OF 1871 ooSH SHnoUos 80
yAa-rsS SENATE ANExDMsxrs.
The advocates of the federal election bill are
gsttng very FESTIVE because the tariff docs NOT
get disposed or more rapidly. The fact that
but four pages of the bill havo been gone over
In the Senate suggests a calculation as to how
long II will take to get through the lsl pages
m the bill, with tho most difficult matter 10
deal With yet TO come. AT the present rate Of
progress IL looks a. II tho federal election bill
might have long time to wait yet
1t cannot be ssid, however, that the demo-
Gratis are at loss to find things to say about
the tariff bill and that they are talking to
kill time. That they are saying things on tho
subject that have some meaning 10 evidenced
by the fact that the republicans concluded that
it was
NECESSARY TO BREAK THEIR COMPACT OF SILENCE
and have Mr.. Morrill, reply to some Of the criti-
cisms and defend the bill 1t will be very diffi-
cult to convict the democrats Of filibustering,
for half the legitimate amendments
we're offered that might be swo months
would not be long time for
the consideration OF the bill With this
condition of things II 10 not necessary for the
democrats, even il they desired to kill time, to
proceed in any but an orderly way. They
might even be generous and pass over many
matters they would like TO contest, and yet
vote on the bill cannot possibly be reached in
time to satisfy the necessities Of the federal
election bill.
WHAT MB. HOWELL SAYS.
II 10 . grave mistake to assume that the ma
jority Of the republicans have given up tho
hope Of passing the election BILL or that they
have lost all control over those who would like
to oppose the whole scheme. But what they
are unable to do 10 to force tho election bill to
the front as they would like to- Mr.. Rowell,
the chairman of the elections commit
tee OF the House, who IL more the
author of the bill than is Mr.. Lodge, said to q
STAR reporter today that he expected the bill
to pass, but that he had no idea that it would
pass Ia time to be in operation during this
falls elections. He added that ne did
not care anything about its being put
In force before the November elections. He
said that the amendments by the Senate COM
mittee would simplify but not modify the
measure. The Senate would merely cut out
some Of the details, bnt not change the general
provisions Of the bill They would strike out
the minimum penalty, o thing he was in
favor OF dong. He said the bill would pass
and that 1t would be effective. II any state
went into rebellion. he said, they would have
to be dealt with accordingly.

PROPOSED NEW SENATE RULE.
What Mr.. Blair Says OF the Necessity
for Passage Of His Resolution.

Senator Blair, in speaking Of his resolution
introduced this morning instructins the COM
mittee on rules to report rule to limit debate
by the operation Of the previous question or
some other method, said that he be-
leved IT to be the opinion Of . majority
OF the republican Senators that the time
bad arrived for the adoption Of rule by which
debate might be controlled. He would not ad-
NIT. however, that he was acting by direction
OF the caucus. He was mot, he said, the st.
Peter Of that body, by whom what was bound
in the caucus should be bound in tho Senate
and what was loosed in the caucus should be
loosed in the Senate. He said il was apparent
that not one of the twenty-five important meas
ures on the calendar could be passed without
the change Of rules proposed in his resolution.

The Creditor stood In the pitchers boz,
With Hewitt just come to the bat,
And the Assignee holding the back stop up,
While the seats were empty and fat
The public was doing the Umpire act
And yelled with will .'Play ball."
When Hewitt stepped out and, twirling his
stick,
Didn't hit anything at ALL
'One strike" called the Umpire, and Hewitt
braced up
And reached for the next one that came,
With wild woolly reach, that should have got
And won for the striker the game.

Then Walter laid down his bat and his ball,
And baudaged his breaks up with lint.
