WASHINGTON, January 19.-The elec
tions bill contest has proceeded to
day in the Senate with the usual Democratic
filibustering, but this was expected. Tomor-
row according to present plans Senator AL
drich will bring In the cloture rule. This
will be delayed day or two, and then the
Republicans will call for vote while the
Democrats will insist upon unlimited debate
there will be critical points. Mr.. Morton is
expected to refuse to allow further debate,
aud the Republican Senators are expected
to support him. If expectations are fulfilled
the rule will be adopted and then the elec-
tions bill will probably be passed in few
days. Senator Blair arrived today and the
Republicans had forty-fve. just a quorum.
Senators Farwell and Chandler are on the
way SO by tomorrow there Will be more
Republicans than quorum. Thus pre-
suming that all Republicans support the
cloture rule except Senators Stewart and
W0lcott, the rule will yet have quorum,
voting for 1t in case the opponents should
leave the hall, IL Is not by any means GER
tain that Senators Wolc0tt and Stewart are
the only Republicans who win oppose the
cl0ture, and some doubts have been ex-
pressed as to Mr.. M0rt0n's disposition to
face the strain that such a ruling would
cause, although 1t Is generally believed that
u6 is reduy TO 10 us part DuI tno uuuoI-
GUS contingencies make the fate Of the bill
exceedingly uncertain. Friends Of the
measure in the House have begun to believe
today for the first time that the Senate
would pass the bill. II Is significant that the
Republicans Of the House have begun to
make preparations for passing the bill In
concurrence should II come from the Senate.
There are within twenty-five Of Republi-
can quorum la the city now, and the absent
members are located within eau. There
seems to be no doubt that the House will be
able to pass the bill should 1t come over but
no attempt will be made to change 1t In the
House. A simple vote to concur with the
Senate will be all the time will allow. The
House Democrats realize the situation liz the
Senate and today have redoubled their fill
busteriDg They have not stopped business
for under the new rules that can be done no
longer, but they have made 1t drag so slowly
that the progress is hardly perceptible. All
this Is done to hinder the election bill. "If
you VIII drop the election BILL" said Heuse
Democrat to Republican today 1--WE will
make tue business spin In this House." No
one wishes to venture prediction whether
the bill will succeed or fail In the Senate, but
IL is to be said tnat its opponents In the
Senate seem confident tnat IL will fail.
