Thursday.
Washington, May 2S.-An emergen-
cy currency law is assured. The cur
rency question held its place yester-
day as practically the only subject of
consideration at both ends of the cap
itol, and when both houses adjourned
the compromise bill which was draft
ed by the Republican conferees had
received the sanction of the house
and had been presented to the senate,
where it was announced it would be
taken up for consideration to-day and
where it will also be passed when the
vote is reached.
The day began with a continuation
of Tuesdays conference between the
Republican representatives of the two
houses. This resulted in complete
agreement which, being later present
ed as matter Of form to the Demo-
cratic conferees, was shortly after 2
p. m. presented to the house. There
it was taken up, discussed for one
hour and passed by vote of 166 to
40.
Rushed to the Senate.
The house had no sooner recorded
its verdict in favor of the bill than it
was hurried over to the senate, short
ly before o'clock, with the announce
ment Of the approval of the house.
The conference report was read,
and after the reading had been con-
cluded Mr.. Aldrich announced that
to-day after routine business he would
move to take up the report and con-
tinue its consideration until it was
disposed Of
In reply to question by Mr.. Gull
berson, Mr.. Aldrich stated the Demo-
cratic conferees of the senate and
house had not concurred in the con-
ference report.
Deep interest attaches to the prob.
able course of the bill in the senate,
as also to the length of time that may
be required for its consideration by
that body.
Democrats Will Confer.
The Democratic senators spent
much Of the day in informal confer
ences among themselves as to the
proper course to pursue with reference
to the bill, and decided upon confer
ence to be held at 10 o'clock as the
best means of affording an opportuni-
ty for an exchange of views without
binding any one. 1t was also decided
to summon all absent Democratic SEN
ators to return.
Friday.
Washington, May 90 The consid..
GRAFTON of the conference report on
the currency bill in the senate yester-
day showed plainly that there would
be little or no obstructive tactics
against its passage. Senator Aldrich
briefly explained the measure and a
little political by play was intro
duced by Senators Culberson of Tex
as and Bacon of Georgia, who tainted
members Of the majority with disin-
clination to pass anti-injunction and
campaign contribution publicity bills
before adjournment. which called
forth claims of interest in both meas
ures by senators on both sides, but
gave no promise Of action at this ses.

women and all sorts Of common
people. He has also resigned the
cditorship of the Commoncr and
has cleared the decks for battle.
His old enemies. Henry Waiter
