From the action of the Democratic
maijority il the senate it is pparent that
they are bent on anything kept prompt
action. Senator German, who is head Of
the Democratic steering committee, has;
apparent u entered upon q well developed
policy Of ilibustering Senator Voorhees,s
Il 4.A1
chairman of the finance committee.
when asked if the cloture rule would be
Eadopted limiting the endless jargon OF
DEBATE, replied: 1T IS not probable nor
possible, and, for my part, { shall oppose
such q proposition When Senators
Hoar and Lodge offered resolutions to
hasten action on the Sherman act in
Harmony with the presidents instruc-
tons, they were severely criticised by
Senators German, VOORHEES, and Vest, Of
the Democratic wing, who slgnifel that
the senate should take all the time for
debate, resolutio ns, committee work and
the introduction Of bills, to which it
took anotion. s=s.5

both from the cellaneous and rand ON
program of debate on which it has emit,
cred, the light attendance, the failure to
enter upon the mission for which it was
called, and from the food of heterogene-
ops bills which it is introducing. On
Monday, the seventh day Of the session,
4 the bills introduced reached! tile total Of
! 3l4. Most of these were introduced by
! Democratic members. On Monday alone,

looking up patronage and visiting the
sea shore, and indulging in the endless
