THE NEXT CONGRESS
There May Not Be Harmony
 Between inc Houses.
BuF inc Administration Will Be Fully Supported and fhe Next Speaker Must Parfake of inc InSuIar Views of inc President.

Washington, April 24.-The organi zation of the house in the next con- gress on strictly administration lines is expected to facilitate legislation in accordance with plans which are being formulated by the caucus committee now sitting at Atlantic City. This committee is working along the ad- ministration lines rather than in ac- cordance with the views of the Indian apolis monetary conference, and it is expected that it's report will be in harmony with the desires of the pres ident.
 While this harmony between the ad- ministration and house organization which is promised greatly improves ths prospects. 1t does not, however, insure legislation, and too much should not be expected. There are several difficulties in the way of finan- cial legislation, even under these moro favorable conditions In the first p.ace the majority which the republi- cans have in the house is so small
  would hamper action, and in the sec Ond place the failure of the senate re- publicans to cooperate with the house caucus committee in the formulation of their plan is significant of a failure of agreement there. It Is not cer- tain yet, though the republicans will have a substantial majority in the senate, that they can secure an agree ment between enough of them to carry a bill through that body, or even that an absolute majority is assured for the simple proposition of the permanent maintenance Of a single gold standard The house caucus committee was con- structed with the understanding that II was to cooperate with the senate committee. With his understanding It was expected that the action of the caucus next winter wtSl1d be practi- cally binding. But in the absence of the cooperation of the senate. f there are any members of the house wao are dissatisfied with the plan re- ported by the caucus, the opportunity for refusing to obey it will bs afforded
 The plan for the retirement of such greenbacks as are redeemed in gold until they shall again be issued for gold, which 1t Is expected the caucus committee will report, is opposed by a number or republicans in both the mouse and senate, if not coupled with further legislation, their opposition hoc ho +I, reserve in the treasury might be con- pieteIy exhausted by taking out gold for greenbacks and that if no other currency was provided for the gov ernment would be left practically any money in the treasury, the greenbacks received on gold re- demptions not being available for any 
 This question, as well as that of the support of the policy of the admins :, tration generally, will probably enter very prominently into the speakership contest. There will certainly be no candidate on a platform of opposition to the administration, but, with ali avowedly sustaining the administra- tion, the candidates will have to go into detail in defining their positions
 It is quite certain that the candidate who succeeds will have to stand squarely in support of the presidents l insuIar policy, on the Nicaragua canal question and on the internal economic : policy, which are approved by the bulk | of the party.
 It is likely that the rivalry will he l keen and that this fact will contribute toward q perfect understanding be- tween the new organization of the house and the administration on all | questions.
