FALL OF THE FORCE BILL,
TT IS NOW ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO
GET 1T THROUGH.

President Harrison at Last Discour-
aeed-He Makes Blacklist of the Re-
nubucans Who Helped Side-track
Cloture-Senetor Cameron Looked
UJpon as Regular Benedict Arnold.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-The President is
rsDorted to be discouraged about the force
hill. To-day, for the first time, he realizes
what the force bill senators are SO reluct-
.utlv admitting, that it is now almost i'm
rossible to get the force bill through, even
If Senator Stanford, who is guest at the
white house state dinner tonight, should
emma to see his duty differently in the cleo
trio light of the state dining-room, and
should tomorrow, as the force bill
SENATORS hope, announce his adherence
to their cause, voting with them again as
be did last week. The force bill sena-
tors would need one vote more to give
them majority. or even make it certain
that they would have tie, which the Vice
President could determine in their favor
Really they are in such a fix that they
were openly specializing to-day on the
chances of Senator Hearst dying in time
TO give them the extra vote they need by
releasing one Of their paired absentees. II
Senator Hearst should die this week and all
of the four absent northwestern senator's
two of whom have already been displacedD
should return, as they are expected to do,
then Senators Hoar and Aldrich would
have better chance.
THE ORDER OF BUSINESS.
But, as things stand, with time running
against them faster every one of the re-
naming thirty-two days of this session, the
steering committee under Senator Plumb's
direction did we'll to-day to arrange an
order of business to follow the reapportion-
ment bill without saying anything in it
about the cloture rule or the force bill. OF
course this order OF business would be set
aside if the force bill men figure out force
bill majority. But it is important as show
ing the belief of the less radical republicans
VINO voted with Senator Hoar that it is now
too late to talk of a second resurrection.
This is the general belief on both sides of the
Senate.
GORMAN ALWAYS READY.
The cautious German does not admit it,
however, even if he entertains it. He says
he will not regard the force bill as safely
and securely buried until congress adjourns
on March 4. He admits that with eight or
ten Of their own men against them the
"You cannot tell. In politics the unex-
pected always happens" He does not pro-
pose to be surprised, and keeps the demo-
Gratis in waiting for sudden assault. Even
to-day, when Senator Aldrich was supposed
to be at home In Providence, whittier he
went from Newport after he discovered
that Senator Stanford was against him,
Senator German kept Senator Colquitt in
the chamber when Senator ColQuitt ought
TO have been at home. Senator Voorhees,
is i'll now, so that the democrats are short
the votes Of Senators Brown, Hearst and
voorhees, should the force bill men proceed
to the desperate expedient of breaking
pairs.
HARRIsoN's BLACK LIST.
The President has made black list of the
names OF the seven republicans who yester-
day aided the democrats. Senators Cam
eron, Ingalls,, Jones, Stewart, Teller, Wash
burn and Wolcott will get nothing more of
courtesy or patronage from this administra-
ton. Senator Stanford is continued for a
time in the good graces of the President
on probation. Senator Cameron comes
in for the Presidents heaviest
condemnation. He did not want Senas
tor Cameron reelected. He thinks Senator
cameron could not have been reelected il
ne had not promised to support the force
Dill. he thinks Senator Cameron broke a
E4O oSV0LuaJ' consequently OenaCor
Cameron is Benedict Arnold and a Judas
!scarlot. The President can speak more
frankly than the force bill senator's, because
Tue latter expect TO get Senator Cameron's
vote, with that of Senator Washburn, If
tney ever get direct vote on taking up the
cloture rule, and Senator Cameron's vote
on the force bill as well.
DALzELL STILL FRoTHrNG.
representative Dalzell and his friends are
sun irothing. Senator Cameron is not a
oit disturbed by it at all. He said this
afternoon that he had not read the denun-
clauon interviews Of the Dalzell republi-
cans cans and did not propose to answer them.
Let them do the talking" he said with a
s s,nnei time will tell" Senator Quay said
this afternoon that he hoped the Senate
would stick to business now and let politics
alone. PN--'.''
