| Some Of Mr.. Mills best friends are
very much put out, about this matter;
they do not OF course blame Mr.. Mills
| for opposing the decision OF the speaker,
but they regret that he should have be-
come SO violent and excited in doing it.,
as the only argument used against Mr.
Mills candidacy for speakership has
been his liab1ty to lose his head from
excitement at critical periods, and they
recognize the fact that his action in this
case makes that argument stronger
than it ever was before.
Everything congressional now turns
npon the disposition the senate makes
Of the resolution providing for a change
in the rules to limit debate at the will Of
the majority, which that body is now
considering. between the times it is en-
gagged in Strengthening the parliamcnta-
ry entanglements that the democrats
are constantly bringing about; and that
disposition will turn upon the decisions
made by Vice President Morton, for
without an arbitrary decision the demo
Gratis can, and win, if necessary, prolons
the discussion until the session expires.
AT the beginning OF the week it was
stated that Mr.. Morton had promised
to make certain rulings That would en-
able the republicans to take vote On
the resolution, but up to this time he
has not done SO. His rulings, SO far,
have been som, IN favor OF his own
party and some in favor OF the demo-
Gratis and in one notable instance he
acknowledged, upon having his atten-
ton called to it by Senator German,
that he had made an error-a remark
able thing for any man in his position
to have done.
The republican leaders in the house
are said to have adopted scheme by
which they hope to compel the silver re-
publican senators to vote with their
party in the senate. 1t is to keep the
free coinage bill in the hands OF the com
mittee until the senate has finally dis
posed OF the election bill. But it will be
a hard thing to do, as the silver men in
the house are growing restless, and al
ready representative Bland has made a
proposition to discharge the committee,
and to make the free coinage bill con-
tinual order after January 27, that is,
to give it the exclusive right OF way in
the house until disposed OF. OF course
there isn't any probability of Mr..
Bland's motion being adopted by the
house, but it shows the spirit existing in
regard to the free coinage bill.
The democrats make no secret of
their willingness to take the chances OF
forcing ;tn extra session in order to de-
feat the election bill, and if that bill is
passed by the senate, l predict, that
from the day it gets back to the house
Tor concurrence i'll the senate amend
ments, the house will become the most
turbulent legislative body this country
has ever seen. There are democrats in
the house willing to take any and all
risks to defeat this measure, and there
are some republicans who secretly SYM
pathize with them, though openly yot-
