 day of the approaching session of con-
 gress, the senate financial bill will be
 introduced in the latter body It will
 not be on the same lines as the house.
 but it will declare without equivoea-
 tion for the gold standard
 Senator Aldrich, who, as chairman
 of the finance committee of the sen ate, has taken a prominent part in the
 framing of the bill, said yesterday that
 the measure had been prepared, but
 that 1t would not be made public until it had been shown to a number of re- publican senators. Senator Aldrich be-
 ieves that it will be passed. It is the present intention of the finance com
 mlttee to ask a speedy consideration
 of the bill in the senate. in order that
 1t may be disposed of as early in the session as possible.
 There is no reason in the world g said the senator, why the republican party should not place the gold stan dard upon the statute books. This is the honest and proper course to pur- sue, while, as a political step. it is wise, because it puts the democrats on the other side of the fence. I believe in having the issue made as ciear-cut and definite as possible. We will not lose anything by such action"
 Speaking of the sentiment of his Cfa ia he ator Aldrich said it was almost uni versal in favor of retaining the is lands, although the present war with the natives was deprecated by some. When told that the Filipinos, according to the latest reports, had assumed an aggressive position, Senator AIdrich remarked: II am not certain but that is the best thing that could happen. The attack upon us will at least show the country why we have an army in the Philippines, and will, more than ever, confirm the country in the feel ing that vigorous measures are nee essary.'

 . ''Is the republican party in good shape?"
 Splendid. We are all getting to- sether and working together. Senator Foraker is beginning his effective speeches, and republicans from all 'ver the country are going into the 'tate to help us. Am I going into the Oh, yes I have already been to a couple of meetings, and am ,oing right back to Ohio in order to continue my canvass. Make speeches? We'll. don't dignify my talks by call ng them speeches. am not an orator, ,ou know"
 If Bryan were citizen of any other tate than Nebraska said Senator 7hurston, of that state, yesterday. we would have no doubt about re- 'uD1can F1ClOry- AS It IS, l MOuAQ iiOI are to make any positive predictions
 believe we will win, but it is hard ght, and the result will not be known ntil the ballots are counted.
 ''There is no doubt" cointued Sena- or Thurston, that Bryan is holding is people together. They believe some ay that he will be president. and that hen they will live off the fat of the and. He has lost some of his drawing over, but there is not complete dis ltegration in his following, by any tanner of means. The republicans are ghting a fusion of the democrats and opulists and we base our hopes of 1cces on the fact that last year we educed the fusion majority from 1S,- 70 to about 5000. We are trying this ear to overturn it altogether, and the pod crops and prosperous times will cry materially help us. But Bryan, lded the senator, '.is still factor in le state. Of that there can be no 1ubt'
