THEY EXPECT NO LEGISLATION IN THEIR INTER-
EST THIS SESSION.
Washington, Dec. 6 (SpeciaD.-Mr. DUBOIS. OF
Idaho one of the most active and influential OF
80 free-slver Republicans in the Senate, said TO-
Nv that the friends OF silver did not ook Tor any
favorable legislation at the present session oil con-
gress and that IN view OF the hostile attitude Oh
the President he did not believe any special effort
would be made in that direction. The silver men,
he believed, would so far control the committees
that they could at any time bring up free-conaee
bill and 1t likely that number OF speeches.
In advocacy of such measure would DE mace
during the SESSION. The wisdom OF maklns d pro
longed fight with the full knowledge OF It's nope
lessness he said, doubted by the SILVER men
and il was altogether likely that they would con-
tent themselves with reafirm ns their aee ,ahce
TO the cause rather than prolong the sess on Wheh
no substantial good possibly could result me sen no
ator however, positive ia asserting that no
issue of bonds would be authorized or other nlal,
cial legislation permitted. unless some suDstdhl.d
recognition was given 10 silver, nor ne continued
would any measure providing for the retlremeh'
nf greenbacks pass the Senate unless silver re-
ceived an important place in any scheme Tor pre-
venting the contraction of the currency: Whlcn
necessarily would be caused by such retirement
he therefore did not look for any financial legis-
lat;on at the present session.

lowed as on previous days Superintendent Long

six jobs under way, and would start more In Few
days. He also said that three Of The firms Old EN-
ployes returned to work yesterday and that ne ex-
pected more. Mr.. I.ongacre added that the hrm

expected break in the strike and that its Old men
would then return to work J. NJ. Cornell, president
Of the Iron League, was out Of town yesterday.
President Larry, of the Housesmi,ns Union, SAD
that thrty-one of the Cornel.s' and Mlikens' men
had been persuaded to abandon their jobs yester-
day by the strikers pckets. and that the men the

Washington, Dec Ga new scheme Tor the re-
orranization of the Senate is suggested almost
daily. Now that the Republicans have begun to dis
c,ss the matter seriously it is probable that they
r,n End some way TO secure all the offices. although
.ba matter has not been talked about in caucus
save IN the most informal manner. one OF ne most
influential members of the committee named yes
,erdav by Mr. Sherman said this morning that there
appeared TO be little opposition among the Demo-
Gratis TO the proposed reorganization OF the eiec'Ve
offices Of the Senate, and that such reorganization
would take place unless the Democrats were de-
termined to place themselves on record in the IN
diligence Of obstructive tactics
The method TO be pursued is one enure'y WITHIN
the scope Of the rules against which no Constltu-
tional question can be raised said TINS senator
eft should be borne in mind that majority of a

the ma jorty of the quorum for they nave more
votes than have the Democrats. II is not TO be
nresnmed for a moment that the Democrats would
