G. B. Farley, Of Louisville,-now in
Washington: "Ihe trouble in Ken
lucky will be a nuisance for long time
to come. 1t will show in all the polit-
ical movements leading up to the Fall
elections. There will not be district
or county convention which will be
free of it. There will be street fights
and cow ention rows, which the news
papers will report as riots. There Will
be shooting scraps which will be called
instructions. In fact, it will be bad
and disgraceful until the people of the
state get sick and tired of it all, To
tell the truth, they are tired of it now.
But there is no way of ending the
trouble. Like an epidemic, it must run
its course"
Senators are disposed to poke fun at
the charge of Speaker Henderson that
there are towards in the Senate. For
instance, Senator Depew said: "Ihe
Speaker has not hurt my feelings by
declaring that there are towards in the
Senate. No, he hasn't hurt my feelings
bit, even though | do not concede
that there are towards in the Senate,
but he does sort of wrench my sensibi.-
tiles when he mtimates that the COW
ardice he speaks Of in the Senate, is
due to the trusts. AS for myself, Mr..
Speaker Henderson is hereby iniorme d
that | am not bit afraid of the trust.
No, sir rec! The trusts cant brighten

1t is regarded as so certain that the
Senate will pass the Porto Rico bill to-
morrow, when the vote will be taken,
that public interest is already trans
ferred to the House, where the result is
not so certain. The free traders are
making some pretty stiff claims as to
their ability to strike out the tariff
clause of the bill, and insert one pro-
viding for free trade in the House, but,
investigation shows that those claims
| have no better foundation than the talk
of few members who voted for the
original tariff bill and then became
frightened by public criticism. There
is no faltering on the part Of the lead
ers of the majority in the House, and
the chances are that they VIII be able
to keep the grumblere in line for the
bill. The majority of the House is al
ways susceptible to administration in
tluence, and the whole influence of the
administration is being thrown in favor
OF the Porto Rican bill. Speaker Hen
derson is also lending Il hand and he
says the bill will become law before
the end Of the present week
1t had never been suspected that the
venerable Senator Pettus-the oldest
man in the Senate-was humorist and
wit, until he made thirty. minute
