Nothing developed to-day 10 disturb the
belief that clOture and the Force bill
have been disposed Of for good. The
Republicans who favored the measures
have as yet given no assurances that
they will make no further attempt TO
get them up, but it is believed they will
give the Democrats such assurances in
order to remove all danger of further
delay in the dispatch OF public
business. As soon as the
Democratic managers are certain
that they have nothing more to fear they
will at once give their undivided atten-
tion TO the necessary business legiSla-
ti0n Of the session and help TO finish
everything up before the 4th OF March,
