speak in opposition, and on that ac-
count suggestion to have day and
hour fixed for voting on it after the
holidays did not meet with favor. The
bill, however, retains the privilege of
a place in the morning hour. A like
attempt was made in regard to the
anti-option bill after Senator PETER,
Populist, of Kansas, had finished his
speech in its favor, but as objection
was made Senator Washburn, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota, declared his in
tention of pressing for the BILLS con-
sideration andfor vote after the re.
assembling of the senate, even at the
expense of long sessions. He asserted
that the bill was favored by consid-
cradle majority of senators, by nine
tenths of the whole people and by
nj lety-nine one. hundreths of the
farmers of the co Intry.
An important subject which, &C.
cording to notice given by Chandler,
Republican, will be pressed for con-
sideration Immediately after the hoii-
days recess, is the bill to restrict and
prohibiI immigration which was re-
ported today from the committee on
immigration which according to Sena-
tor Hill, Democrat, of New York, q
member of that COMMITTEES, is not in
all respects such bill as the people
wish. Senator Hill has reserved the
right of making minority report.
Senator Perkins, Republican, of
Kansas, introduced bill to enable
the people of Oklahoma to form con-
stitutional and state government and
to be admitted into the Upion on an
equal footing with the original states
Referred to the committee OIL terri

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Recer
events have caused a pretty free 81
preston of the views of the member
Of the house on the subject of tn
speakership. Talk of an extra sessio
early in the spring, which has no.
almost completely disappeared, hs
started gossip on the speakership an
the Reform club incident has arouse
d livelier interest in the question. Thel
a have been a number of quiet gathe
ings in small groups of member
y whose interests and associations al
It to some extent allied, and the result
d the friends of the speaker now asse
y with confidence that he will succet
e himself, and some of them EXPIRE
B. the belief that the sentiment in b
y favor will be found SO strong tn
o Crisp will have no opposition. III
10 views OF a large part of u
members of the house and membe
elect have been ascertained, partly Il
Q. sneakers intimate friends say throue
of voluntary expressions. The result
"a claim that 140 members have 81
S, nified their intention to vote for CriI
lg for speaker of the house in the FIT
~ third congress. The speakers frien
= have been disinclined to give public
Id ty to the matter because, as one of /
n close friends said, it might look ii
ay boasting on their part, bat the matt
re became generally known when 1t
sumed its present shape.
Mr.. Cultivate of Ohio, who is o
of the speakers most active lieute
ants in his fight for the prese
e' speakership, consented to be quote
