The Fight to be Precipitated Over the
Special Order of the Rules Commit
tee-Hope Now Conferred in the Sem
ate-Voorhees Will Come to the
Front With q Compromise Measure.
WAsHINGToN, January 9.-(Special. THE
opinion now prevails that the new currency
scheme will fail in the House. There is an
organization to defeat it; and il is an incon-
gruOus movement, made up of Republicans,
Populsts and free silver Democrats. The Com
mittee on Rules will report special rule fixing
the time for vote on the bill. The opposition
propose to make fight against the adoption of
the rule, when a direct vote will be taken, If
a majority is polled against special order it
means defeat Of the bill, and then
will come concessions and compromise.
If the special rule is adopted it
means that the bill will probably get MAJOR
ity vote iii the House.
Senator Voorhees, has bill now ready that
he claims will command majority of tho
Senate and he will push it, as soon as the fate
OF the House bill is determined. If the House
bill is defeated voorhees, will Immediately in
troduce his bill in the Senate and if tho
House bill passes, he will incorporate the
main features Of the House bill and amend it
to conform to the prevailing sentiment in the
| Senate; which is for silver coinage up to %
specified maximum.
There is much comment today over tho
speech made by Senator Vest of Missouri, yes
| terday evening in the room of finance COM
| mittce of the Senate. Senator Vest is reliably
| quoted as saying that the people no longer had
| any confidence in either of the two great
parties, and in order to remove this prejudice
| it would be necessary to do something at this
| session that would show the people than Con-
| gress independent of party, was able and will
| ing to give them the legislation they needed.
| Mr.. Vest said he was ready to accept some
| sort of compromise financial bill, He favored
an issue of bonds at low rate of interest and
if it took several hundred millions, would be
willing to support it, provided it recognized
| silver in some way.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri says he will
oppose any further extension of the civil ser
vice rules as proposed by President Cleveland.
In committee debate yesterday Senator
COckrell said: ..... ...... .,.
II believe both President Cleveland and
| President Harrison have exceeded their duty
and authority in this respect And If they are
going to take any more officials under this
humbug system, / propose they include heads
of bureaus, members of the Cabinet and the
| President himself. i do not see why we should
except the President from civil service exam
ination, if we are going to include all the rest
the executive officers Of the government"
| j. s. COxey, the commonweal leader, appear
ed before a subcommittee Of the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means yesterday in sup
port of his good roads and non-interest bearing
bond bills. Coxey also called upon Senator
Voorhees,, chairman of the Senate Finance
committee, to request a hearing on the same
propositions, but was told the committee could
not go into the matter.
1t is rumored that Senator Brice has named
his man for U. S. District Attorney for the
Northern Ohio District, but his choice is secret
