WASHINGTON. July S0.-Although the
radical Republican senators are tempo
rarily holding mp on the force bill and
nothing was done at the Monday night
raucus with regard TO fixing way for
rushing tho bill through, they are not
weakening in the least IN their de-
termination to put into effect an in
famous law. They have some kickers in
thor ranks. and TO soo,hc and hoodwink
these fair-mindcd senators they have
Knocked out some of the worst features of
ile Lodge bill; but that move u nothing
moro nor less than "a tnck to deceive the
country and to whip in tho protesting Re

lu.tost radicals on the Senate Committee
