Washington, May 2S.-Fifteen Dem
ocratic senators, all that remain in
the city, conferred for one and a hall
hours today and agreed that they
would stand together in opposition to
the Aldrich-Vreelald compromise cur
rency bill. Many of them will speak
against the bill, but there is nothing
to indicate that the opposition viii
take the form of a filibuster. The alb
5ence of such inclination is best illus
trated by the prediction after the con
ference that congress will probably
be able to adjourn tomorrow, certain,
ly not later than Sunday" This opin
ion was expressed by several Demo
Gratis
La Follette's position was consid-
cred, and the question arose whether
or not it would be advisable to stand
by him if he should be disposed to
the conference report on the bill. The
discussion did not result in a decision
but the sentiment appeared to be
against that course. Most of the Dem
ocrats seem to believe that from a
political standpoint it would be best
for the Democrats merely to register
their objections and vote against the
bill. The senators present were Cul
berson, Teller, Bacon, B2nkhead
Johnson, Simmons, Clay, Gary, Tay-
lor, Overman, Frazier, Newland, OW-
