senate each day after ? o'clock until dis

have announced their determination not
TO cease their labors in its behalf until
vote shall be secured upon it, 1t is impos-
sible to say how much time will be re-
quired on the bill, but Senator Lodge is
hopeful that he will get it through this
week.
Senator Gibson of Maryland has an
nounccd his purpose to talk in opposition
to the bill, but he declines TO state wheth-
er he will resort TO other tactics TO defeat
it. Those who oppose concede that the bill
will pass II it should reach vote.

west and has been particularly prominent
in Oklahoma. Senator Pettigrew is the
especial champion of the bill, and he will

is claimed that its enactment into law

of the senate this week, and It is quite
possible that they may not be disposed Of

tors by the direct vote of the people is a
special order for Monday, but it may go

his resolution concerning the validity Of

in this speech about the policy of western
states which have elected Populist state
administrations and TO pay his respects to
some of the critics of those states. The
Nebraska senator is also likely to call up
the Dingley bill at any time.
There is a possibility that congress may
