It would De use less to introduce q bill at this time, with Mir Gillette unuecided what ne will do, for the comlnllIee on coul- merce would not take Il up, and It is highly probable that the matter Will ne aiiOwed to rest TOT this session at least.

 Governor anu Mrs Bulkeley and Mir Sperry lefs this afternoon tor Con necticut. Mir SHrry belore he lett was intervieweu at the Riggs house and talked interestingly of current political matters. lie said: At pres ent the outlook for the democratic party IS not roseate. President Roose- welt is a man of such forcerul charac- ter and patriotic purpose that he has secured an extraordinary hold upon men of all parties, and the confidence of the whole nation is reposed in him ill an extraordinary degree. At the same time nobody would be safe in predicting that the democratic party will never again come into power. Something is always apt to happen In country as big as this, and, as in the past, the democracy has weathered adverse gales, so it may survive the storm of last November. My own be- lief Is /at had the counsel and policy of Grover Cleveland been respected, the party would never have been re- duced to it's present apparently hope less condition"
 To Speak in Connecticut. Congressman Lillcy and Charles Landis, of Indiana. left last night for Hartford. where Mir I.andis is to be the principal speaker at the Mckinley banquet Mir Landis is the first of q number of prominent men from Wash ington. who are to speak in Connecti- cut within the next month. February 10, Congressman Cushman, of Wash ington, and Congressman Lloyd, of | Missouri, will speak at the annual ban quet of the board of trade at Bridge port. February 13, Congressman J. Adam Bede. of Minnesota. will be the speaker at the Lincoln banquet of the Young Mems Republican club at New Haven.
 An effort is also being made to have President Roosevelt come to Con- i necticut at the dedication of the Bush nell memorial at New Haven. Con Tessman Sperry has been asked to in vite him. but TO definite time has been set as yet. Until that Is done it will i he useless to try to get the president, as no one con tell what will happen in the mean time to prevent his going. lt is doubtful if the president woul 1 promise to 90 at any time. as he is ! obliged to refuse a large share of tri,. invitations he gets.
