On the side of the House. Mr.. Wilson and his
associates were also being driven irresistibly
toward an agreement. The menace OF revolt
IN their rear still troubled them. Having yes

one embarrassing uprising. they felt themselves
in no position to risk another meeting on tne
part OF the disafYected element in the House oy
further obstinate and fruitess delay. hs'ne'
therefore, with avidity at the rather scanty ana
uninviting bait Of an offer Of free iron ore they
abandoned definitely and irreparably the cause
OF free coal which lay so near the heart OF tne
President and his Cuckoo followers Accept.
Ing the barren triumph OF concession on iron
ore they precpitatey dropped their fight OF

Senate bill was tainted All the substantial fruits
