CAPITOL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

The Next Speaker.-Is there a revolt
against Speaker Henderson? In the House
Hobbies 4 suspicion exists that there is,
and members are already figuring upon the
likelihood Of its success, and the IOwan's
possible successor.
Some reasons for the rumoTed dissatis-
faction are being given and a general
charge is brought against the Speaker OF
the House He is said to be no longer
''accep table' TO the disgruntled members
because he is mot unfrequently iH-hu-
mored in the morning. and inclined to be
rather short N his manner even to those
who helped to Pot him in the chair Others
allege that he refuses requests without
giving what is considered a sufficient rea-
son. and this complaint shows. perhaps,
most clearly The nature Of the opposition
By the malcontents he is clothed with all
the Czar-like traits OF Speaker Reed
without tee compromising virtues Of
strength and decision
However genuine the reported revolt
against the Speaker is. 1t has at least set
tongues wagging as to his possible success
