Washington, January ei,--rhe present in
dicauons are chat the senate viii divide
les attention In the main this week between
the federal elections bill and the policy
OF the bond issue as decided upon 10y the
secretary OF the treasury.
There has now been positive agreement
upon the part OF the republicans to con-
unue the discussion OF the elections bin and
10 take 1t UP with u view TO It's nnal dis
position, Many OF the republican scna-
tors have gwen public assurance that they
would not seek to delay the nnal vote upon
/ TINS bill beyond reasonable time FOR de-
bate and tn fact that the republican eau
Gus TOOK NO action looking TO deciding upon
q policy concerning TINS measure would
seem to Indicate that no such course Will
be pursued
ca tho other hand the continued post
ponement OF an uninterrupted discussion
ut the subject would seem TO indicate tnat
there may be some design OF quietly
/ brushing tho SUBJECT aside by plyd1mg
/ Tor delay until the tarin oil shall redcn
/ ,ue senate and absorb its entire time.
lt is evident that the democratic leaders
] Bava some apprehension OK a policy OF tnIs
/ lAnd and are determined that u sucn "a
purpose rs entertained IL shall not sue
coed. They VIII insist on pruceedln. with
] the elections debate this week and are De
/ icrmned To dispose of the subject before
/ tAc tariff bill is reached, as they wish Us
| rar as possible, to divert speechmakine
| in the senate from the bond question
/ Hence 81 may be reasonably inferred that
| tAs programme as agreed to In the senate
| on Thursday last viii, with respect 10
| this bin, be observed.
Mr.. Lodge has given formal notice OF
/ bis intention to speak on the bill Tn
I Wednesday, and Mcssrs. Huar, Frye Hlg-
| slus, Chandler and llawiey have indicated
mat they would ask to be heard upon
/ the subject before d, snail be definitely dis
/ posed ol
Among the democrats who win probably
] speak upon the bill are Messrs, Gray and
! HlM
! II will be impossible to keep the bond
! question entirely ont OF the senate, and
| there is possibility that 1t might he made
/ the subject of "a number OF speeches. II
