"POPGUN" BILLS ABANDONED.

Without Cloture, 1t Is Conceded, They
Cannot lie Passed.
The protest against the proposed change
was SO general that when vote was
taken no one considered it necessary to
ask for the ayes and nays. When the clo-
ture provision was defeated the frie nds of
the tariff bills gave up the fight consider
ing it unnecessary TO make any attempt
to revive their consideration in view of
the opposition of n majority of the Repub-
lIcans, and because Of the fact that any
determined opposition under the rules
would insure their defeat. Hence it is
that those bills do not appear in the Off
cial list of bills TO he presented for the
consideration of the senate
The order for preparation of the cur
rency bill by the finance committee carries
with il instructions to take the recon-
mendations of the president and secretary
of the treasury into consideration The
order is also broad enough to include any
other suggestion of financial character
which may be presented, and the senators
favorable to silver who were present at the
cancus say that it is also understood that
n feasible proposition for the utilization of
silver is to be included in any currency
scheme presented to or by the committee.

JAPAN GETTING PUFFED UP.
An American Thinks Her Bump of Self
Esteem Abnormally Developed.

Esteem Abnormally Developed.
New YORK, Dec. Captain Cormick,
of the steamship Strathlevon, just arrived
from Yokohama, says of Japan: You
never saw a country have such large
bump of self-esteem as Japan has recently
developed. They are very fond of calling
themselves the England of the East One
Japanese gentleman whom l met in Yoko-
hama was talking to me about the future
Of Japan and he got down map and
pointed out to me the fact that Japan was
in the same relative position to Asia that
England is to Europe, and then he said:
'Japan's influence may be felt through
out Asia as England's is throughout
Europe. And then England has some in
terest in Asia. Possibly we may have
some in Europe. None can tell
Another Jap told the captain that ia
pan would some day be the greatest ma
ton on earth. He was asked what Japan
would do after she had whipped China
and said: ''Oh there is a country of gold
to the south. Japan may want that. {"
HE meant Australia, and so asked him
what England would be doing while ia
pan took Australia. i don't think Japan
cares what England would do he an
swered, and had to run off and look hard
Mt the compass for fear of laughing in his
face" The captain thought it probable
that either the United States or England
would have to drub Japan before there
would be any living on the same earth
with her

Carroll ID. Wright Wants the Trades
Unions Incorporated.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Representative
McGann Chairman of the labor commit
tee), Springer and Eriman, who are in
terested in the passage of the labor arbi-
tration bill, were in consultation for sew
eral hours with Labor Commissioner
Wright considering the ACCESSIBILITY of in
cooperating in the bill certain suggestions
made by the commission that investi-
gated the labor troubles growing out Of
the Pullman strike. The conference was
not conclusive and further meetings will
be held.
The principal amendment suggested by
Wright refers to the Incorporation Of Ia
Dor unions, thus increasing their i'm
portance and responsibility. All the
members of the committee favor this and
it will be Incorporated in the bill. Wright,
aided by Herman, Of the strike commits
sion, who is expected here soon, will
formulate this and other union features
and submit them to the committee. Erd-
man said last night that there seemed to
be no real opposition to the bill and that he
thought 1t would be passed easily. 1t can

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Democratic
senate caucus directed the steering COM
mittee' to prepare an order of business
which would present for the consideration
OF the senate the following subjects of
legislation: A bankruptcy bill; al bill
for the construction of the Nicaragua
canal; a currency bill: bills for the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mexico; a
bill involving the interests of the Indian
Territory; for the consideration of the
joint resolution of the house of represen-
tatives on the election Of United States

measures, including the appropriation
bills, as the steering committee may
deem important That in their report to
caucus tho steering committee shall
provide the order in which the above SUBJ
jccts Of legislation shn.I be considered
Discussed the Cloture Proposition.
The caucus was in session from 9 o'clock
until 4:30 p. m, and almost the entire
time was devoted to the discussion of the
first proposition of Daniels, instructing
the committee on rules TO bring in an
amendment for a cloture. and the speeches
Mt times We're very spirited. Vest, Villas,
Berry. and George made speeches favoring
the proposition, while German, Morgan,
Palmer. Harris, Pugh, and Others opposed
it with vigor and warmth. The speeches
were in the same vein as those which have
been made in the senate, except that the
speakers discussed party questions with
more freedom, pointing out the fact on
one side that the Democrats would soon
be in the minority in the senate, and prob
ably in need of the protection which the
present rules would afford
Palmer Has n Change Of Views.
On the other side the advocates of cloture
urged the importance of the supplementary
tariff bills and admitted very frankly that
there was no possibility of such action
without a rule for the limitation of de-
bate. The opponents of a change, it is I'M
derstood, even invoked the ghost of the
force bill and urged that if the Republi-
cans should get into power they would re-
vive this measure. German took the lead
in pressing these views in opposition to
cloture. Palmer, who had heretofore been
an advocate of cloture, indicated a change
OF position and made a vigorous protest
against the adoption of the resolution He
said the Democrats would lose their ma
jority in the senate within few weeks
and that it would he the acme of foolish
ness to tie their hands at such a critical
time
