The Nalker-Rlca Case.

WASHINGTON. April 1s--special.-The
contested election case of Walker KS.
Rhea will probably not come up in the
House for some time Representative
Taylor, of Ohio, chairman OF the COM
mittee, is out of the city, and the sub
committee cannot be appointed until he
returns. Owing, to the desire OF the he he
publicans to adjourn on or before June
other important public bills, it is possible
that the case may go over to the snort
session.
1t is given out to-day that one of the
reasons why the Republicans and Popu-
lists of North Carolina could not agree
to fusion at their recent meeting, held in
this city, was that the Republican Ma
tional Committee had taken hand IN
the matter. Directing to the proposed
fusion on the grounds that the Repub-
leans We're giving UP too much to the
why the Republicans should fuse with
the Populists in North Carolina, as the
Populists We're always against the Re
publican party, and We're allies OF the
Democracy.

Mr.. Hale declared that the bin, If
passed, would subject the United states
Treasury to drain OF probably Si9o-

oppose its passage.
Mr.. Money challenged Mr.. Haie's state
ment, saying that the bin would take no
suoh amount from the Treasury: that it
involved only s5.OOo,0oO, and that trust
fund. for which the measure provided,
was a means Of distribution to its proper
owners.
Mr.. Teller, of Colorado. as friend of
the bill, urged Mr. Money not at TINS
time to press the measure, as some fur
Their information was needed by the Sen
ate before it acted upon the bill. The
bill needed amendment, he said, but he
thought it would be passed without seri-
Gus delay when understood by the Senate
Mr. Money then gave notice That ne
