CAPITAL GOSSIP.


Senator n"ar and his radical COL
le I, u Sr olgNizr that their lastdefe, {
meant the Anal disposition of the
Force hill, aud they have accepted
the result with the best grace pos
sthle although it Is far from salts
| factory to them. Not so Mr.. Hrri.
sou. He is so welded to the idea Of
Federal interference In Southern
elections and its consequent benefit to
hun Nmd his party that he refuses to
| believe the Force bill dead, and has
heGun scheming for another attempt
to lnsh it through the Senate. He is
| strongly seconded by Speaker Reed
and the House republicans generally,
| but The idea has SO far been very
c0ld!y received Ivy the Senators whose
recollection of the two square knock
downs they lave already received
while battling for this unpopular and
unjust hlll makes them shy Of again
entering the ring against the intelli-
gent public opiuiOn of the country.

Sttn there is To telling what these
republicans may do. 1t is certain
that If they Saw their way clear to
pass the DILL that they would again
take it up. Their desire is rs strong
for the passage Of the hill rs it ever
was, but it is the dread of another
/ defeat that makes them hesitate.
Democratic Senators are fully aware
that all danger from this bill will not
lie passed until the close of the sts-
sion, and they will see to it that the
republicans get no chance TO catch
them mapping.
That the democrats are always
! ready to aid in the transaction Of
| legitimate business was shown when
Senator German notified the republi-
can steering committee the democrats
were prepared to agree to any order
oil business winch did not include the
cloture rule OF Force bill. The pro.
CRANE as arranged provides for the
consideration of the following bills,
after the ApportiOment bill is dis.
posed of; eight hour bill, Copyright,
Pure food, and the job of the session,
the bill to guarantee the payment of
$500, COO eco in bonds Of the Mica
ragua canal company. 1t is certainly
suspicious Clrcuu.s lance that this bill
for the exclusive benefit of II corpo
ration should have been given q
place in the order of business when
dozens of bills important to the coun
try at large We're left out. Some mu
SIC ought 10 be i.eaId when this bill
gets before the 2natf, and will be
unless | am Very mVcl mistaken.
The defeat o. Senator Ingalls, die
not raise Cyclone of grief at the
Capitol.
The anti-silver men have opened
their campaign ag us5 free coinage
by bringing 4 lot of Eastern banker:
here to tell til House Coinage com
mittee what IL dangerous thing free
coinage is. Another dodge of the an
It's, is to amend the free coinage bll
SO as to make it con- orm to the view!
of the President. Both schemes ar,
meant to accomplish the same thing =
delay, and that's now it will be beat
en-, if it is beaten. The commute,
will delay relcrtipg 1t back to thu
House as long rs possible, and afte
it is reported Speaker Reed will della,
its consideration if he can, and be
tween all these delays the time will
have become too short to pass til,
bill at this session. See! Grea
scheme isn't il? Not very origina
though.
Mr.. Blaine isn't saying anythin!
about the Force bill, but he has
kind of old-you-sO look ever sine
MIR. Harrison was knocked out at til,
same time his pet measure was. j.

Unless the republicans attemp
some OF their tricks 1t is believed tina
all of the appropriation bills Can b,
disposed of 10y the 4lh of March, anC
an extra session avoided.
Chairman >Dingley, OF the House
committee now investigating tn,
silver pool scandal, is charged will
having intimated, in a conversation
with MIR. Payne, member of thu
committee, that Senator Vest would
never hav5 been allowed to testify il
he had known that he would "giv,
away" Senator Cameron. Thi!
charge is not made by democrat
but by Il good republican,, Gently
Boynton. Mr.. Dingley denies it
and Gtn. BOynton says Stevens
beard the conVe rsatiun in question
It's nice mess, a republican mess
all through, aud before the committe,
finishes its labors IL will he in neeC
of being investigated.
