have done so much hard work. The bill

According to the program arranged by
the Committee on Rules, Monday was de
voted TO the District of Columbia business
followed by the Pacific cable bill. The
advocates of both private and govern
ment ownership are prepared to make a
vigorous fight in support of their conten,
tons and while the lines are not at all
partisan, they are sharply drawn and
promise lively contest. The cable bill
will be followed by the Hansbrough
Newlands irrigation bill which was en-,
dorsed by democratic caucus one day
last week and which it is believed has
many friends on the republican side OF
the chamber. In fact. Mr.. Newlands told
me Saturday that the promoters of the
bill had considerably more than sufficient
votes pledged to secure the passage of the
measure.

The Hill subsidiary coinage bill passed
the House last week. According TO the
democrats this IS another blow at the
supremacy of silver and will result in the
gradual retirement of all silver dollars
and their recoinage into coins of smaller
denomination. According to the repuh-
licans the bill will provide an increase of
small coins which is imperative to the
business interests of the country. This
is probably the only financial legislation
which will be considered by the House
during this session although the Fowler
bill will remain OH the calendar to be
taken up early in the short session.
