Washington, July 3.-There is feel
+ ing among congressman in the city
that gore may yet be spilled as re-
suit of the Bailey Beveridge episode in
tain a statement by Solicitor of the
State Department Penfield, over whom
the controversy started, calling Bailey
"a liar and an ass" Bailey is in New
York but is expected back early in the
morning. There seems to be no doubt
in the public mind but that when
Bailey returns it will be u question of
the nature Of weapons, or retraction
by Pentield. Penfeld's remarks are
regarded as indiscreet.
Speaking of the work of the late ses-
sion of congress today, Congressman
| Lacey said that he had seen more eX-
citing sessions, but that during his
twelve years of service no session had
accomplished SO much real important
legislation.
1T has been a working congress
clear thru" said Major Lacey. Some
very important legislation has been
enacted. The first step has been taken
in the direction of civil government in
the Philippines and the first step to-
ward self government for the F'ilipinos.
The dream of three centuries has be-
came an actually. Perhaps in effect
this is the most important bill passed.
The isthmian canal connecting the At
lantic and Pacific oceans will be built.
| The Philippine and canal laws will con-
Stitute the historic features OF the
Fifty-seventh congress.
Il have served upon the Indian af-
| fairs committee for six years. More
| important legislation from this COM
mittee has been enacted at this SEES
sion than for decade. The way has
been paved for full and complete civil
cation and government in Indian Ter
ritory. A bill was passed providing
for setting aside a forest reservation
of 225,OOO acres to protect the head
waters of the Mississippi.
| Cuban reciprocity has gone over to
the next session. l hope and believe
something will be done then. believe
the senators who have opposed recipro-
| city, after having spent the summer at
home and coming in contract With the
people, will be more favorable to the
plan. The action of state conventions
| in the west indicates that the opposing
senators undereStimated the feelings OF
the people in favor of reciprocity.
| During the past session we cut off
| SIC, 100000 of war taxes and still Uncle
Sam will have ready money with which
Ito liquidate current expenses,
Major Lacey EXPRESSED himself as
confident that the republicans will
succeed in the congressional contests
this fall.

mistake has been made.
Mr. Hancock takes q very optimistic
view of the political situation in Iowa.

factory than for many years and that
