HOAR GOES FOR A REST.
THE SENATE TO DO NOTHING
UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

votes to Adopt a Cloture Resolu-
ton.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Hoar
,vant home to Massachusetts tonight for
hriaf rest during the breathing spell before
bostilities are resumed in the Senate on
zo,dav. He needs rest, but he needs
majority much more, and as yet he does not
see how he is going to getit. The declaration
of indepeadance made by the free coinage
,nor, Yesterday was notice to Senator Hoar
that he must get the force bill out OF the
77ay. either By passing it or laying it aside.
Il was a warning that if he did not the free
coinage men would endeavor TO get 1t out OF
the way for him. He must face the issue
next week.
RbAR's LACK OF MEN.
As vet he has not succeeded in getting
sorty.fve republicans to sign paper which
has been prepared, binding them to stay In
the Senate. aud vote for the cloture rule
until it is adopted. Unless he can get these
forty-fve signatures he cannot pass tine
clotlre rule. He cannot pass the force bill.
However, he ia not expected to accept the
situation and let the force bill go, If for no
other reason than because he wants to keep
free coinage back. So the same confusion
of business which now prevails in the SEN
ate is expected to prevail to the end
THE EXTRA SESSION TALK.
This is why an extra session is constantly
predicted as probable by this or the other
senator or representative. Both sides seem
Ia favor an extra session now; the demo-
Gratis because they want to get acquainted
with the new men and have plenty
Of time for organization the
republicans because they hope to see the
democrats fall out among themselves. Vice
President Morton gave the democrats aid
and comfort by deciding that during the
hot fight between Senators Morgan and
Sherman tbat an appeal from the decision
of the chair was debatable This will Sc
rously hinder the attempt to gag the Sen
ate
CAUCUS TO BE HELD.
Before leaving, Senator Hoar had a con-
ference with the other force bill advocates,
and as usual there will be another caucus of
all the Senate republicans on Monday,
probably in the afternoon, as the senators
want to attend the wedding of Chief Justice
A.. Fuer's daughter in the evening. The eau
Gus is to be called in the hope that it will do
what the force bill men said the last caucus
had agreed to do. The republicans are to
be urged by Senator Hoar TO get together,
the policy they are to be urged to adopt
must include the passing of the force bill.
But, at all events, they are to be besought
not to keep on wrangling in public for the
benefit Of the Democratic party.
THE CLoTURE RULE.
Senator Teller's attack on the cloture
rule has compelled Senator Aldrich and the
: others having itespecially in hand to con-
slider the advlsaeill,y of amending it 80 as
to omakeit less severe. Senator Aldrich ad-
mitted to-day that Senator Teller's claim
that it cast off all but one amendment was
well founded It NAV be amended SO as to
more nearly meet with Senator Teller's
views or it may be dropped altogether. for
some force bill senators think if they
dropped it they could better constrain all
the republicans to vote for the force bill,
and to sit 1t out with the democrats day
and night till they get a vote by exhausting
t1e democrats. One thing is certain, it
will be lively caucus.
