cussii'g il change of rules, which ev-
cry Senator knows down in his heart,
vhatever his wishes may be, cannot
he acc"mplised in the midst of this
controversy. A democratic caucus is

sig ,ed the call therefor consider them
selves bound to attend or +" be bound
10y its action. aud IN the call was only
signed by Senators who are opposed
I" the passage ot the Voorhees, bill,
there is little upon wlIicl, to base even
IA hope that it will result in ending
the unfM tunate controversy.
President Cleveland ia apparently
more confident than ever that the
Voorhees, bill can be passed by the
Senate without amendm ant aud more
determined that the ght shall he con
unutd until that end is reached, but
there are good reasons for the belief
that he would willingly sign II COM

der the circumstances that he would,
in advance nt t',e action of the Senate,
