Washington. March president Melen
Of the Northern Pacific 2Tseg7, spent several
hours with the president yesterday, dis
cussing the Aldrich bond deposit bill and
urging that it be pushed to final passage.
The president was much impressed and
has arranged to bring, pressure to bear
upon congress to-day and tomorrow.
Mr.. Mellen is only one of many prominent
business men and capitalists from the east
and west with whom the president has
talked about this Legislation. Everywhere
among business men the demand for 1t is
great, and anxiety prevails lest congress
adjourn without doing anything.
There is a political side to the case aisO
If congress, as the result of the presi-
dents activity, should enact the Aldrlch
bill, the interests which feel aggrieved
because Of recent trust legislation will
feel more kindly towards the administra-
ton. o.. - -' -, ...-|
On the surface, the chances for the
passage of the Aldrich bill are far from
good. Notwithstanding the fact that it
occupies the center of the Legislative
stage. Mr.. Aldrich and his associates are
moving heaven and earth to get the bill
through the senate to-day. and probably
will succeed. In the house, Chairman
| Payne of the ways and means committee.
and other leaders are working to create
| a sentiment which will insure action
! But at present the outlook is decidedly
| bad. They hope to take the bill from the
| speakers table and pass Sit Sunder, sus-
pension of the rules whichSwould require
a two-thirds vote. -TheEmost sanguine
| friends of the bill are partially prepared
| o-day to predict such a. majority and ii
| it is secured it will be because of the
presidents influence. ,'7~ -
Features of the Bill. -
| The essential feature of the Aldrich bill
is that under it the excess revenues %
| government are to- be deposited in ma,
| tional banks SO that's. all this money will
be at the service, of the eaAntrySs bust
ness. The banks now hold, ia this wa.
$3.50, 900 of PUBLIC. money. Under tn
| Aldrich bill these deposits might. Yer.
possibly. be increased to $3.50. 000. 600. 2
The fact that nearly s4.000,o00 was coy
cred into the Subtreasury in New Yorl
city week before last by reason Of Gus
tom payments illustrates the evil .tha
/ is going on. In the opinion of Hose ssh

Il Louisville, Ky, March. 2.--If the leaders
of the republican party should start a.
boom for a man who would
oppose Mr.. Roosevelt, their selection
would be widely supported in Kentucky.
There is a strong belief that this state
would give its vote in the next national
convention to any man brought out against
Roosevelt. The anti Roosevelt party is
gaining in mum bers every day.
The republicans of this state are dissat-
isfied with Mr. Roosevelt's attitude toward
the negro. Besides this, Mr.. Roosevelt,
it is said, has ridden roughshod over a
large number of state leaders who are re-
garded among the shrewdest and ablest
politicians in the party. Among these are
Former Collector Of Internal Revenue
Charles e. Sapp, removed from office by
Mr. Roosevelt; Former American Minister
Godfrey Hunter, practically removed by
Mr. Roosevelt, and United States Senator
Doboe and Former Governor YV. O Bradley,
whose Endorsements of applicants for of
flee have been ignored BY the president
+ These men say Mr.. Roosevelt has ig-
Inored the old-line republicans and has
appointed renegade democrats to pffice.

DEFENSE OF THE UNION
Prof. Gray Says Labor Organizations

Chicago. March 2.-"Give us the labor
union with all it's murders, bloodshed and

Professor John H. Gray. head of the de-
partment of economics at Northwestern
university. thus stanchy defended the
cause of organized labor yesterday at the
First congregational church of Evanston.
Professor Gray recently returned from
England. where he spent several months
special commission from the United States
department of labor, and this fact gave
his words additional force: - -
II am not an advocate of murder he
continued, but the only thing that will
stop the unjust: remuneration OF labor is
the union, and we should thank God that
we save ourselves from something worse
Professor Gray compared the labor
unions of other countries with those OF
the United States, especially of Chicago
! to the dsparagement of the latter. 4s7 b

STRENUOUS IN THE HOUSE
Another Rule Adopted to Cut Off Fill
1.s. clustering Motions.

-.: clustering Motions. IN
Washington, March 2.-When the house
reconvened to-day at II o'clock the pend
ing question was the adoption Of the con-
ference report on the Alaskan homestead
bill. Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
in pursuance of the filibustering program,
attempted to make the point that a
quorum must be ascertained to be present
before business could be transacted, but
the speaker declined to entertain the point
and upon the demand Of Mr.. Payne, the
majority leader, a roll call was ordered
on the pending question. The report was
agreed to-207 to 3. ,e..-e.s r.
The New Rule. j.
{; Mr.. Grosvenor from the committee on
rules than presented the special rule to
put the Immigration bill into conference
by asd direct te and to cut OFF the preyi-
ous question: on conference reports.
Mr.. Grosvenor briefly explained the
scope of the rule and then yielded twenty
minutes to Mr.. Richardson, (Tenn.) who
in turn yielded five minutes to Mr. Under
wood (Ala.) The latter declared that the
rule proposed to force a stote upon con-
ference reports on appropriation bills car
rying millions after five minutes debate
On a side. He taunted the other side for
their inability to do business with delib-
Grafton. He also said it was unfair that
the immigration bill; which had been en-
asculated by. the senate, should be thrown
into conference without giving the house
an opportunity to act. 81
Rights OF the Minority.
| Mr.. Williams (NTiss.) protested against
the course of the republican partizan press
| in attributing the action of the minority
| in the house to revenge against the I'm
! seating of Mr.. Butler. He said the coun
! try should know that the situation wa:
| broader than that The democratic mi
| nority. he said, was not acting in retalia
ton; it was teaching the majority that it!
| rights must be respected. If reasonable
time had been given to discuss and pre-
sent that contested election case, he said
J the minority would not have been unde
] the necessity of pursuing its presen
| course. Every constitutional and parlia
1 mentary privilege, he said would be EN-
/ ployed to drive home the democratic pro
test, and if in the ffty-eighth congress al
attempt was made to deprive a democra
elected by 5000 ma ajority of his seat, tn
same ia actics would be pursued. Mr.. Will
| liams then turned to the rule and ridi
culed the employment of the Frenc
