CLOSURE ON THE SENATE.
Senator Gordon Heads a Movem en-
For a Change in the Rules.


For Change in the Rules.
Washington, May IA movement was
begun to day looking toward change in
the rules. Its chief promoter is Senator
Gordon, who believes that unless the rules
shall be changed the tariff bill will never
become a law. you may say for me. -
Senator Gordon said this evening, that
believe nothing short of closure will en-
able the democrats to pass the bill We
are now absolutely at, the mercy of the
minority, and the Senate is fast becoming
a by-word. You cannot state my position
IN this matter too strongly |
am for changing the rules to
the end that necessary business
may be transacted and the ma aiority may
carry out its will" "
SECURING SIGNATURES.
Senator Gordon, with other senator's,
has been busy to-day securing signatures
to paper which declares closure to be a
necessity. A majority of the democratic
senators have already signed it, and the
impression seems to be growing that
enough signatures will be procured to
warrant calling democratic caucus for
the purpose of formulating plan for ac-
tion. There are several democrats, Sen
ators Harris and German among
them, who have announced their
opposition to closure, and those
who favor the change feel
that it will be necessary to bring mis-
sionary work to bear on these gentlemen.
GLOOMY VIEW.
Senator Gordon takes rather a gloomy
view of the situation. The impression
exists generally thatnothing can prevent
the bill from passing, but the great diff
Guilty lies in the unnecessary delay. Sen
ator Blackburn, of Kentucky chairman
of the committee on rules, and who has
always been counted as against closure,
said to-day that he would urge his COM
mittee to recommend any change in the
rules which would hasten the passage of
the bill

"The duties of the American Minister

NO; he made proposition to me.
In redirect examination Arthur Rodgers

But the question got lost in maze OF o0-
Jections. and then Grove johnson sought
10 strike out the whole of his cross

The ex-senator was again 20 the fore,
claiming utter inability to give direct an

10 explain. Against the objection of Grove
johnson the explanation was allowed.
Then the witness said:
