ADMINISTRATIONS LAST RALLY,
No Further Effort VIII BE Made to
Secur Financial Legislation.

Secure Financial Legislation.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February 10
There seems to be little doubt that
yesterdays fight was the final rally
in the campaign of the Administration
Democrats for financial legislation
by this Congress. Members who are
supposed to know the mind of the
President say that he recognizes that
it is futile to attempt to ecu any
sort of a legislation for the Treasury.
and they assert unheSitatingly that he
will not again recommend congress
sional action Of any sort upon the
finances. These Democrats are dis
posed to put upon the Republicans the
blame for the failure of the resolution
reported by the Ways and Means
Committee. For their part many Re
publicans who say they would not
have opposed the gold provision in Il
bond issue had the proposition been
unincumbered by other factors, ex-
plain their negative votes by saying
they could not assent to a contract
made with private parties for taking
the bonds when they believed the issue
could have been advantageously dis
posed of by public competition in this
country. 1t is safe to say that this
objection to tho contract, which devel-
Oped rapidly while the instrument was
under discussion. was largely re-
sponsible for the remarkable shifting
of plans which took place on the Re-
publican side.

1t is Rccommttfed TO the Senate
Committee on Commerce.
WASHINGTON, D, c.. Feb. b.
The East st. Louis Bridge bill has
been recommitted to the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce. This course was
taken in compliance with the request
of Senator Jones of Arkansas, who is
taking an active interest in the meas-
ure and desire that a further hearing
should be had on the proposition.
Senator Vest at first refused to yield
to Mr.. Jones, but upon the advice of
Representative Forman concluded to
send the bill back to the committee for
a further hearing if there was any de-
sire for such a hearing. There will be
a meeting of this committee not later
than next Thursday. Senator Jones
will be notified and will then have an
opportunity to state the ground of his
opposition. Representative Bartholdt
told the Post Dispatch correspondent
to-day that he would insist on the
schedule of tolls being reinserted in
the bill when it comes back to the
from the Senate.
