THE ALDRICH BILL.
Senate Will Probably Vote on It
This Week and Pass It.

Senator Aldrich expects to get a vote
on his emergency currency bill by the
end of this week. According to the pres
ent understanding, Senator La Toilette
will make the last long speech on the
bill Thursday. Senator Clarke of Ar
kansas will speak tomorrow, and pos
sibly there will be one other democratic
speech that day.
Before the debate is closed Senator
Aldrich will speak briefly in answer to
the critics of the measure, and Senator
Hale will also submit few observations
that will not consume much time
That the bill will pass in substantially
the form in which it came from the COM
mittee is little doubted at the Capitol A
Number of republicans, like Senators
Smith and McCumber, are opposed to
certain features of the bill, and will favor
amendments covering these points, but
it is understood that they will vote for
the bill amended or not amended
The bill will also receive some demo-
cratic votes, and these. it is said, will
easily balance what republican votes there
may be against it. Among those re-
fpublicans who will probably vote against
it are Senators Nelson, La Toilette and
Hepburn. So far as is known about six
republicans will vote against 1t and five
democrats for it.
