THE "sINEws OF WAR"

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE
Washington Aug 3l.-There Is good reason to be-
lIeve that while there is some friction in the Dem
ocratic Congressional Committee between the mem
hers who represent the Senate and those who rep
resent the House OF Representatives 1t Will not re-
suit in any open break. Democratic congressman
who are candidates for denomination and reelection
will pocket a good many insults before they VIII DO
or say anything that might make their prospects
even more gloomy than at present. and the same
remark is measurablv true Of the Senatorial rep
resentatlyes in the committee. An open quarrel
must be avoided al any cost. and both sides re-
aze that fact 1t is pretty safe to say that between
now and election day even Mr.. wilson, OF west
Virginia will not dare again TO crticlse Democratic
Senators as he did in his MartinsburS speech on
Wednesday. 1t may be remembered that senator
Faulkner OF that state, is chairman OF the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee. which, as ne as
serted no longer ago than last Saturday Is pro-
videl with all the means and appliances for run
ming a successful campaign. What some OF these
means and appliances" are has already been re-
vca.cd by Democrats in private conversation, one
of whom recently said to Tribune correspondents
| happen to know that a fund amounting to f2',-
900 $4,000 sent to Alabama before the so
efforts OF Secretary Herbert and other mempers oi
the Administration. The registration BOOKS IN thai
State were closed the last OF May and so remained
until after the State election in August Inc money

honest member OF the committee who is conversant
with the facts Will have the hardihood to deny.
In the same relation another statement Is made.
