Discussion of the Money Bill
in the Senate to Close
Wednesday.
Republican Senator's Will
Then Attempt to Hold
a Caucus
And Again Force the Obnox-
iouS Election Bill to
the Front.
Appropriation Bills Likely to
Get Mach Attention in
the House.

WASHINGTGN,J Jan. .-Theleglsla
prospect for this week is full OF promise
of matters of public interest and i'm
portance. If the agreement made last
week is observed by the senate,
Wednesday will close the discussion OF
the financial bill and decide its fate in
that body. As it is generally expected
that the free coinage amendment will
prevail, interest now centers in the re-
suit of the controversy over the national
bank and 2 per cent bond features of
the bill. The proceedings of the senate
after the financial bill is out of the
way are problematical. An effort will
be made by the Republican senators to
hold caucus and agree upon pro-
gramme, and if this caucus is held
a determined attempt will be made
to cause it to place the elections
bill again In the van Of party measures
and force it through the senate with the
aid of closure rule. Should this at
tempt to secure caucus action on the
elections bill fail, the probabilities are
that either the apportionment bill, the
pension appropriation bill, one or more
of the pending labor bills, or perhaps
the CoDger lard bill, with the Paddock
pure food bill as an alternative, will be
taken up. Mr., Plat has given notice
that he will ask the senate to consider
the copyright bill tomorrow in the
morning hour. This bill may also fig
ure in the proceedings after the finan-
cial bill is disposed of. The shipping
bill and appropriations will probably be
the chief matters of consideration in the
house during the coming week. Monday
is district day." but Chairman Clutch
con, of the military affairs committee,
expects to make an effort to have the
army appropriation bill, which was I'M
der discussion Saturday, disposed Of be-
fore district legislation lis given the
floor. Tuesday an effort will be made
to take up the shipping bill and push it
to final vote as early as possible. The
opposition developed, however, is very
large, and the prospects are that tn G
bill will not be out of the way until
Thursday afternoon, although its friends
hope to procure final vote just before
adjournment Wednesday. Friday is set
apart for private bills. Six appropria-
ton bills are on the calendar, and from
now on advantage will be taken of
every opportunity to bring them before
the house. The senate financial bill is
expected to reach the house the latter
part of this week. There is no reason
to expect the bill to cut any figure in
the house during this week, but, in
view of the fight Of last session over the
silver bill, the situation is full Of posi-

1t is definitely settled at last that the
maroon and red sash, so often borne to
victory by the great stars of the late
August Belmont's stable, has been seen
for the last time on the course. Not only
is his turf career closed, but with his
death the name of Belmont is to pass
out of turf records, save in days that are
passed. This has become known here
through private channels, which an
nounce that every interest owned IN
horses by the late New York banker

later than June next. Stations,

Three Farmers Who Will Dead
lock q Legislature.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 11.-Mr. Tau
beneck, one of the three farmer repre-
sentatives in general assembly, said to-
night that he and his colleagues have
made up their min dS to insist on fusion
from either the Republicans or Demo
Gratis on the United States senatorship.
They will not, by their votes allow
either side at any time to get quorum
in joint assembly and elect candidate;
aad should both sides vote for their re-
spectiye nominees, the farmers will
also vote. so that neither candidate
shall receive majority. If a
United States senator is elected
at this session of the legislature he will
have to be man satisfactory to the f.
NJ. H. A representatives, and neither
Palmer, Farwell nor OgIesby are such
men. Mr.. Taubeneck said that Grand
Master Thompson or Cicero j. Lindlay
would suit him, though their names had
not been mentioned in the conferences.
The name of the man they have most
favorably considered has not yet been
mentioned i'll connection with the sena-
torship. The senator they want is one
who will use all the honorable means in
his power to secure for farmers benefi-
cial legislation and who will not be in
1uenced against such legislation by
wiles of corporations and their agents.
Such man should have no utilization
with either of the old parties.

Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, and
Hon. Hamilton Fish, of New York. Mr..
Jones entered congress as a delegate
from the territory OF Michigan in 1884.
and some years later he was elected
senator from Iowa. Mr.. Jones was for
many years conspicuous figure in the
social life of Washington. He was one
of the most gallant men then in society
and universal favorite. He still lives,
and was so devoted to those friends of
the past that he travelled from his
Northern home to attend the funeral at
New Orleans of Jefferson Davis, with
whom he had served i'll both houses OF
congress. Mr.. Jones was the second OF
Cilley in the duel with Graves, in which
Cilley was killed, and while in public

state and to the political party he rep
resented in congress.

BIG SALE OF TROTTERs.
Fancy Prices Likely to Be Paid

California in the past furnished many
of the best horses that have been seen
in the East. and during the next few
weeks rich consignments from the far
Western state will be added to the al
ready large stock that the Pacific has
furnished to the Atlantic slope. The
trotters bred by Senator Leland STAN,

part of the present month. The chief
interest in this lot lies in the fact that
many of them of them are the get of the
now famous Electioneer, recently de-

be dropped during the coming spring.
Electioneer stock is at high premium,

Close upon the heels of the Stanford
stock in their eastward journey will
