hut Csn Fight In senate.
SAN Francisco. July IA special from
Washington City to an evening paper
says: Now that the president has called
congress together. the important question
is. What will it do?" As matter of
fact nobody can tell. The house, which is
always more amicable to the executive
than the senate, will probably repeal tho
Sherman Law. but not without q
fight Bland and other free silver
men will exhaust every privilege
allowed them under the rules
to delay action and will flibuster Just a.
long as they are permitted. But it is
virtually settled by the Democrats that
the rules Of the next house will partske
somewhat of the nature of the Reed rules
and tilibustering will be reduced to a
minimum. Indeed, it 10 no secret that
Democrats of the house intend to follow
closely upon the Reed rules In some re-
spec.s.
The house will be organized in hurry
and Crisp will be reelected speaker with
out opposition. He will arrange the COM
mittees expeditiousty and in the mean
time the committee on rules, which will
be appointed first. will proceed to prepare
a code Of rules. There will be certain pro-
visions deliberately designed to prevent
the friends of silver from delaying vote
on the repeal Of the Sherman act and in
the south end Of the capitol at least tho
presidents programme will be carried out.
The opposition in the senate will be
more effective. Senators Stewart and
Jones. of Nevada, together with other
silver advocates. will make q determined
fight. They will oppose the repeal of the
Sherman law unless legislation more
favorable TO silver is offered rs a sub
ssitute. That will not be conceded
for the Republicans and Democrats who
demand the repeal of the Sherman ac. will
insist upon its unconditional repeai
There will be no previous question in the
senate; no way whatever OF curtaiiing de-
bate except by fixing the hour for the final
vote and then making IL a question OF
physical endurance. Senator Stewart u n
long and enduring talker himself and will
Consume u week least. There is no way of
changing the senate rules so as to Gu, off
debate That would not be tolerated. 1t
would he contrary to established usayes.
The president himself has entertained
doubts as TO whether . majority of the
senate would vote for the repeal of the
Sherman act. and he is not yet entirely
convinced that majority Will promptly
show up on that side.
