The program in the Senate next week
will include the taking up ana propa-
ble passage of the bin providing for
the taking of the Twelfth Census, which
was displaced as the regular business
of last week by the Teller resolution.
MIR. Carter of Montana viii have charge
of the bin. and he thinks II can De
passed within three days. 1t is also
likely that one if not two IF the small
er appropriation bills viii be disposed
OF in the Senate. Several Senators
are complaining about the slow prog
eress being made in the upper branch
Of Congress They think that time Is
being wasted unnecessarily, but there
is such an Overwhelming sentiment
against applying gag rule in that body
that nothing can be done To hurry the
sticklers for ancient customs.
Senator Mason, who was so full OF
the idea of smashing the rules. and who
boasted last year that enough Of his
associates would vote to accomplish
this purpose. was asked when he
thought a change would be made.
His answer was:
When pigs learn TO fly.
AUGMENTATION bills have the right 81
way i'm The House during the greater
part of the week. Ii is possible that
the Teller. resolution. passed by the
Senate last evening, may be called up
but this is not certain, as the RepuDll-
can leaders want time 10 consider TINS
matter carefully. The Elections COM
mittees also are demanding time Tor
.ontasrad eases The first one likely
40 be called i'm the House is that OF
Aldrich vs.. Plowman. from Alabama.
The prevailing sentiment amuhs
CongresStnen is that the House VIII
refuse to pass the Teller resolution,
and the Republican leaders seem 10
think that they can count on from ~
10 80 majority. but they admit that IN
view of the large vote in the Senate
il may be necessary TO hold party
caucus and pledge all their men 10
stand together. There is a strong dis
position among the more prominent
Repuhlicans from the Eastern section
of the country to bury the whole mat
Ter i'm committee and not give the Rep
l,esentatives chance to vote upon the
prouosition. That course has been tol-
lowed on the Cuban question, and the
Speaker and the powerful ones who
are behind him could repeat 1t II they
arr 81 disposed: but Mr.. Reed rs un-
derstood to be Of the opinion that il
viii be best to force the issue
