and agreed 10 those passed by the House.

made by Mr.. Hale of Maine. Mr.. Sherman

Nr. Gray of Delaware, ana Mr.. Bur
rows of Michigan will speak on this sub

seated The impression among republic
cans is that Mr. Dupont will get the solid
vote of the republicans together with
one and perhaps two, popuist votes.
This of course, would give him the seat.
The silver men appear to have been care
fully sounded on the subject, and those
interested in the case say that silver
will not figure in the matter at all, but
that the case will be decided on its mer-

Dupont does mean one more antl-sllVer
vote in the Senate.
The bill to prevent the determination OF
the fur seals of Alaska (Which seeks to
prevent such determination by eXterTnln-

ers) has been made the special order Tor
Thursday. This measure will cause some
debate, at least on the part of Senator
Morgan, who is bitterly opposed to its
provisions and was defeated in committee
by a majority of only one.

consideration of appropriation bills and
the contested election cases of Aldrich vs..
Robbins from the Fourth district of AL
