to be drawn from the debate today

time today was devoted to the pas.
sage of unobjected house bills on the
calendar.
I Every senator realized that the
meaning Of this move was that an un.

on the bill tomorrow. Inquiry proved
the existence Of this underst tanding

been; made. The indications are
therefore, that congress will adjourn

Hot in Warrington.
Unquestionably the temperature
which was higher today than at any
time during the present session, had
something to do with the indisposi.
stion on the part Of many senator's to
discuss the bill. Palm Leaf fans were
in evidence among these senator's,
who found it necessary toxbe on the
floor, and at no time was there a
quorum present except when the roll
was being called to establish q quo
rum During the morning the demo
Gratis had sweltered through confer
5ence lasting more than an hour at
which It was decided not to filibuster
against the bill. While the confer
'ence had no binding force the. senti-
ment favored the minority standing
together in a solid vote against the
bill. On the other hand, 1t is not
likely that more than twoarepublicans
will join the opposition. Is
Aldrich Opened Discussion.
The discussion today was opened
by Senator Aldrich, who made q brief
statement concerning the compro-
mise bill. Some Of the democrats
then sought to get an agreement to
consider the campaign publicity bill,
and afterwards speeches against the
currency measure were made5by Sen
3ators Teller, Newlands and Gwen. No
other senators were ready to speak.
Senator Aldrich spent most Of the
day trying to arrange an agreement
to vote on the bill tomorrow. This
was not opposed by Senator Culbert-
son. the minority leader, but Senator
u LaFOllette, who is very much opposed
to the bill. asked that motion for
an agreement be not passed. y.
Stating frankly that he had tried to
organize q filibuster against the bill,
but had met with little encourage
lment, Senator LaFollette said he
probably would not speak at length.
From the position assumed by him 1t
did not appear necessary to obtain
an agreement to vote on the confer
ence report tomorrow. In fact 1t was
said that an agreement might delay
the taking Of the vote, as senators
were unwilling to fix a time earlier
than 5 o'clock, though It is not be-
lieved the senators who want to speak
tomorrow will consume the six hours
between IL and 5 O'clock.
