later.

he 10 not poeitlve, however. whether Is
will be IN the shape OF red uced appro-
prlation or loan. He says that The
opponents Of the fair are talking about
both.
Outcome N Desht
Durborow expressed great conf
dence At first, but when asked Il he
were merely talking for effect, he said:
"Candi1iy, the outcome is IN doubt Il
is absurd for anybody TO say the appro-
pr,ation will pass or that it will fail.
IL all depends on whether the oppos.-
ton filibvster. II they permit the
bill 70 come 70 . voto. contenting them
selves with fair. square fight, Ne Will
succeed IN passlng the bill IL they
raise the point Of no quorum and then
refuse 10 answer when their namso are

byways for absent mombers."
IL may be. though, that the oppoei-
ton will not filibuster. II seeme I'M.
possible to find any one who Will cav
that he intends 20 do 90 or that thers
will be any fiiibustering.

long. ] know members who will vote
against the bill, but who are TOO anx-

There is faint possibility Of the b.lI

afternoon, though Mr.. ssyers, of the
