IT MEANS MUCH.
Fate Of the Currency Bill Will
Shape the Administered
tion's Policy.
VOTE PROBABLE THIS WEEK.
Opponents of the Measure to
Make a Bold Attempt to
Defeat 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-The coming
week promises to be a most eventful
one in the house of representatives,. 1t
will not only determine the fate of the
Carlisle currency bill SO far as the
lower branch Of congress is concerned,
but in the event of the defeat Of the
measure it will have far.reaching ef-
feet on the currency question and on
the policy of congress and the admins
tration. A rule fixing the future
course of debate will be introduced
Tuesday and its terms will depend
largely
On the Events Of tho Caucus.
1t had been hoped to get final vote by
Tuesday or Wednesday, but Mr..
Springer, who is in charge of the bill,
says it may be necessary to let the de-
bate run through the week. There are
evidences, however, that a coup d'etat
will be put in execution early by those
opposed to the bill. This will be a mo-
tion to strike out all after the enacting
clause, which would be equivalent to
motion to kill the bill. 1t was by a
stroke of this kind that the Morrison
tariff bill was summarily killed long
before its friends had anticipated
final vote. The parliamentary leaders
of the house
Have Been Consulted
and have agreed that this move is reg
ular and in accordance with the rules.
They are expecting the move, although
it is not known positively that 1t will
be executed. II an early vote is thus
precipitated and all of the bill after the
enacting clause struck out, it would do
away with the 5-minuie debate and
put summary end to the struggle. If,
however, the motion to strike out
should fail to secure majority the
5-minute debate would proceed until
the final vote was taken.

Another Suspect Under Arrest Makes an

DENVER, Jan. 7.-Alphonso Lamar,
one of the Frenchmen under arrest on
suspicion of having strangled three
Market street women, has made an al.
legged confession, charging Victor Von-
cherueauz, also under arrest, with the
murders. He claims that the latter
tried to persuade him to do the killing
and upon his refusing did it himself.
He says that Voncherueaux told him
the details of how each woman was
strangled and said that he would kill a
number of others. On Friday Von-
cherueaux dictated a confession in
which he charged Lamar with the
murders in almost the same language
that Lamar uses in his confession.
