There IS now little doubt that to-
morrow's proceedings will be Of very
animated character. probably no less
so than those of Friday. and possibly
more so.
All efforts to compromise the differ
cnces on the tarln and to allay the
feeling engendered by the presidents
] letter to MIR Wilson have 80 far been
unavailing, and. unless unusual effort
is made and exceptional success secur-
ed between this time and the hour OF
meeting, the days session will develop
a series OF very interesting speeches,
which bid fair to be characterized by
words both plain and pointed. Dem
ocratlc senators generally agree that
there is now no prospect Of reaching
| an understanding in the party before
tomoTow's session. and this cannot
done until the temper OF the senate
| shall be stlll further exploited before
| the country.

| to discussion II is on this proposition
| that the most interesting part OF the
1 debate Is expected to occur. Senator
Hin expects 10 gain a Few votes over
the number secured for his motion
/ when offered by himself, before the
! bill went to conference, but he does
not think It will show any great
| strength, and comedies that interest ~
| absorbed by the Villas motion, which
he favors as strongly as he does his
| own. The duration Of the discussion
/ upon the Villas amendment viii prob
| ably depend largely upon the time

made against II, shall be made,
! When point of order Is once made
]
| debate ON II shall continue, and with
/ Senator Harris In the chair the cessa-
/ ton might be very sudden at any time
| after the point had been made. 1t is a
/ general feeling, however. that while the
| point is sure TO be raised some time,
| It will not be presented at the begin
ming OF the debate. II is a general fact
1 that there are several senators who
/ are determined to speak upon the gem
/ eral questions which the publication OF
| Mr.. Clevelands letter has raised and
/ that these speeches will find vent in
| some other connection. If not In that.
| Unless the senators who are booked to
speak change their minds there Will
! be minclng Of words when the talk
shall begin.
Senator German is slated for a speech
during the day. and those who are in
| his confidence say he considers that
the presidents letter is directed large
~ against himself and that his utter
/ ances will show his resentment. 1t Is
| also undertood that he will take the
position that the senate bill must be
sustained and will give his reasons
| therefor.
Senator Mills will lead the fight for
the Villas motion. He Will also speak
on the general features Of the question
! at issue and will sustain the presidents
position In his own vigorous manner.
with reference to the Villas motion he

1t out OF order and will contend that
ruling to sustain the point of order
would be unconstitutional, saying that
the greater privilege OF moving TO
amend bill in conference by recedlnB
from an entire amendment carries with
1t the lesser privilege of receding from
a part of any amendment.
The Texas ana Wisconsin senators are
regarded as the special champions OF
th, president on the Issues now at
stake. and It Is intimated that one or
the reasons they have apart from their
convictions on the questions for cham
uiouing the movement Is the desire TO
meet and By their actions on account
