GORE OF OKLAHOMA

From Present Indications It Appears Hybrid Money Measure Will Be Passed by the Senate In
 Very Short Order.

Washington, May 2S.-(Specia1) )-"l cannot find two senators who will stand up and fight this bill. I know of one who will do so. but he can accomplish little by himself"
 Senator Lafollette of Wisconsin made the above statement tonight in discussing the pending Aldrich-vreeland makeshift compromise currency bill
 The senator had reference to himself as being the only senator wl.o could be de- pended upon to fight the measure He was frank to state that he could accomp- fish nothing by himself His physical condition would not admit of his mak- ing a speech of more than two hours. T suppose" said the senator that could lean against my desk or half sit on the arm of my chair and hold the floor for eight or 10 hours, but" and the senator gave an expression which could readily be interpreted as meaning whats the use"
 Senator Lafollette can get Senator Gore of Oklahoma to assist him. but Senator Gore does not believe he could speak over two hours. As for the democrats they WtHl oH recOTu d month ago aBalnSt the Aldrich bill, and allowed vote to be taken That being the case, they decided at their conference this morning that a filbuster would not be justifiable, and they will content themselves by voting against the bill.
 This is the situation as it stands to- night. and accordingly Senator Aldrich and the other leaders predict that vote will be taken tomorrow. When this is done Speaker Cannon will let loose the | public buildings bill, the general de- ficiency bill will be passed and the re- 1 publican Congress come to an inglorious end. leaving behind 1t an unparalleled record of extravaganza and inefficieney Little reference was made to the cur rency bill in the Senate today, and the matter was allowed to go over until to- morrow and held before the body until a vote Is reached.

PLANNED BY TAFT PARTY

Washington, May 2S.-(Special.) )-For- aker negroes captured Taft meeting in New York last night and a big republican rally planned for the benefit of the War Secretary was stampeded to the Ohio senator.
 Acting upon plan mapped out by Register Vernon of the Treasury and Frank Hitchcock of the Taft head quarters, a series of mass meeting was planned to pledge the negro vote to the republican nominee and to indorse Secre- tary Taft, in order to show that the col ored vote was not antagonistic to the Secretary of War
 Meetings were planned for New York, Cincinnati and Chicago, at which some Of the best colored orators of the country in the federal service and others were en- gagged to speak, The New York meeting had been largely advertised, the New York Age, Taft colored organ, booming the meeting, and circulars were posted in all of the colored districts of New York city.
 Bishop Derrick was selected to preside, and Bishop w. B. Parks and Ex-Governor Pinchback of Louisiana and other speak CTS billed. Only about 500 negroes turned out, many of whom went out of curiosity to see and hear what would be said.
 Bishop Derrick in opening the meeting stated that if Secretary Taft was the nominee 1t would be the duty of all col ored republicans to support him. He re- cited the history of the republican party and half way in his speech mentioned the name of Senator Foraker as one of the greatest men the party had produced. The effect was electrical. Senator For aker was cheered for fully five minutes. the bishop being unable to secure order. Cheers of "Foraker for President Vote against Taft resounded through the hail. Bishop Derrick at last disclaimed that the meeting was called for any purpose antagonistic to Senator Foraker. w. s.

READY TO ADJOURN.
Congress Will Not Delay Very Much
 Longer.

Washington, May 2s.-The anticipated strenuous opposition to the adoption of the conference report on the Aldrich cur rency bill in the Senate. according to the
 inference to be drawn from the debate today, probably will not materialize Senator Aldrich kept the report before the Senate until nearly o'clock this aft ernoon when he assented to it's being laid aside until II o'clock tomorrow and the remainder of the time today was de- voted to the passage of unobjected to House bills on the calendar Every sen ator realized that the meaning of this move was that an understanding had been reached to vote on the bill tomor- row. Inquiry proved the existence of ths understanding. although no positive agree ment has been made. The indications are, therefore, that Congress will adjourn sine die tomorrow or Saturday.
 Unquestionably the temperature, which was higher today than at any time dur ing the present session. had something 10 do with the indispostion on the part of many senators to discuss the bill. Palm leaf fans were in evidence among those senators who found 1t necessary to be on the floor and at no time was there Il quorum present except when the roll WAS being called to establish the quorum. During the morning the democrats had sweltered through conference lasting more than an hour, at which 1t was de- cided not to filibuster against the bill.
 While the conference had no bind ing force, the sentiment favored the minority standing together In a solid vote against the bill. On the other hand, it is not likely that more than two republicans will join the opposl- tion. The discussion today was opened by Senator Aldrich, who made a brief statement concerning the compromise bill. Some of the democrats then sought to get an agreement to con- slider the campaign publicity bill, and afterward speeches against the cur rency measure were made by Senators Teller, Newlands and Owen No other senators were ready to speak.
 Senator Aldrich spent most of tho day trying to arrange an agreement to vote on the bill tomorrow. This was not opposed by Senator Culberson. the minority leader, but Senator --a- toilette who is very much opposed to the bill, asked that motion for an adjournment be not passed.
 Stating frankly that he had tried to organize a filibuster against the bin. but had met with little encoura cement Senator Lafollette said he probably would not speak at length. From the position assumed by him 1t did not ap- pear necessary to obtain an agreement to vote on the conference report to- morrow. In fact 1t was said an agre-. ment might delay the taking of the vote as senators were unwilling to fl time earlier than 5 o'clock. though it is not believed the senators who want to speak tomorrow will consume the six hours between II and o'clock

 He was born in the city of Charles ton, s. C., on September 22, 1883, and had nearly reached his 75th birthday.
 He graduated rom west fOlnt Niii- tary academy in the class of 1854, in which were many who took leading parts in tho great war of the sixties. On the break ing out of hostiities he was at the front, and as an aide on the staff of General Beauregard he bore the notification to Colonel Anderson that fire would be op- ened on Fort Sumter on the morning of April 12, 1861, which were the first guns of the great conflict. Thence his promotion was most marked and rapid, passing through all grades till commits stoned lieutenant general June 23 1854. He enjoyed the unique distinction of earning the highest commendation in each arm of the service, and so great was the value placed on his ability by the President of the Confederate states that in recommending his promotion from one rank to another, MT. Davis expressed regret that he could not serve in both as the position from which he was trans ferred would feel the great loss of his presence.
 Since the war in addition to edu- eating the minds of the young of the south like his great namesake, he, as was the case with his predecessor in ! the U. c. ", bent his energies to healing the wounds left by the conflict,

On Friday of last week he threw himself with enth usiastic whol heartedness into the entertainment oe the visitors who were at the park in Vicksburg, thereby rendering all most proud and happy, but he became over heated which brought about com1li cations, which resulted in death.

HEARST STILL GAINING
 IN RECOUNT OF BALLOTS

sions has been to give the contestant for the mayoralty 6S more votes than he was credited with receiving, the eight ballot boxes recounted thus far adding this number to the Hearst total.
 In the case of the ballot box of one district examined today ] counsel for Mayor Mcclellan called attention to the condition of strip of paper pasted over the slit in the top of the box. They told the court this looked to them as if the box had been tempered with. The box cover was carefully examined by the jurymen. The recount of this box dis closed gain of three votes for Hearst.
 During the latter part of the session two boxes were opened at time and the recount went along with more celer- ity.
 The recounting of the votes will be continued tomorrow.
