REAPPORTIONMENT A PROBLEM.
The consideration of the reapportion-
ment bill will be resumed tomorrow in
the house. The indications point to a
final vote upon the measure on Tuesday,
but the fight over the basis of apportion-
tionment is a bitter one, and the debate
may be prolonged. The outcome is not
clear Mr.. Hopkins is still confident that
his bill will carry but in order to pull it
through he is now ready to copcede an
increase of three members to cover the
major fractions of the states of Florida,
Colorado and North Dakota. The opposi-
ton is verg aggressive, but on the sur
face seems to lack the strength neces-
saTy to carry the Burleigh bill. There
are forces at work, however, by which the
opposition hopes, through the agencies
of Senator Quay, Senator Platt, Of New
York and Senator Lodge, of Massachu
sets, to swing the delegations Of New
ORR II
into line, and If successful the Hopkins
bill may suffer defeat Mr.. Crumpacker
of Indiana, proposes to move to recon-
NIT the bill, with instructions to reduce
the representation of the Southern
states, but there is no idea that such a
proposition will prevail. After the dis
posal of the reapportionment bill the
river and harbor bill will be taken up. 1t
Is expected to consume two days The
remainder of the week will be devoted to
appropriation bills. The District of Co
lumbia probably will be the next of the
supply bills to be considered.

whether large or small, represented on
the above occasion. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that you give this movement
your hearty approval, and either in per-
son or through committee of your
selection, present this matter for the
students consideration in mass meeting

1t is desired for obvious reasons that

est date practicable of the representa-

Wallace Donald Mclean.
Chairman intercollegiate Committee
In order that the movement may be
successful, tile suggestion is made that
mass meetings be held by the various
alumni and university clubs throughout
the country for the purpose of inter-
esting college men in the project The
first mass meeting of this kind will be
held in Washington next Saturday at the
Columbian university when graduates
from leading universities are expected
to speak t0 an assemblage to which all
| resident college men are invited.
1t is stated by the intercollegiate COM
mlttee that the different college clubs
and societies ere expected to come as
delegations. Their participation will be
strictly non-partisan. There will be no
| maximum or minimum limit to the size
of each delegation, the only requirement
or decorated so as to display its college
colors. Freedom is given to introduce
unique features characteristic of college
| life. Delegations, it is suggested, should
perfect themselves in marching either by
column, figures or changing their forna.
ton while in line of march, One large
banner should be carried in front of each
delegation. Cheering will be confined ex-
ciusively to the time when the respective
| colleges are passing the presidents re-
| viewing stand. Each delegation will be
| permitted to give only one cheer, so as
to prevent an interruption to the cheer
OF the college following. Horns or other
instr uDnents for the purpose merely Of
making a noise will not be allowed in
i the parade. 1t is requested, however
that bands be brought from as many
| colleges as possible. The local committee
will make all arrangements necessary for.
a convention of institutions signifying
their purpose to be represented. The rail-
roads will give a special rate to the col
lege delegations.
