 Unusual interest attaches to the tour of Speaker Henderson of the House of Rep. resentatives. Henderson will be furnished
 with a private ear in which to make his tour and he will visit close districts iu several of the States between the Rocky Mountains and the Atlantic Coast. Un- less the present plans are rearranged he will not go further West. Representative Littlefield of Maine, who is, regarded as one of the strongest .af all the Repub- | licans in the House, and who has been 1 in the public eye to a considerable extent recently as a result of his connection
 with the Presidents opera oouffe warfare against the trusts, will go to California. The conditions in that State are, admit tedly bad from the Republican standpoint. The chances of gain of two or three Democratic tCongressnlen are regard
 ed as being very bright and that the Re-
 publicans appreciate tbis is deInonstrated by the fact that they are sending one of
 their best men to stump the State. The scommNtH 4keemS to think that Mir. Lit
 tlefield will be abie to- control the situa-
 tion. aided as he will be by local spell
 binders: but if it is found that he needs
 more help from this part of the country,
 other speakers will be sent out to par
 tlcipate in the gabfest. VT
 The three, men who are the speakers $ principal assistants in the control of the House of Representatives will play a prominent part in the oanpaigu. They are Payne of New York.

They will be heard in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, and, perhaps. in some of the other States
