rrency question held its place yes
day as practically the only subject
consideration at both ends of the
pitol, and when both houses adj
irned the compromise bill which
s drafted by the republican con-
ees had received the sanction of
house and had been presented to
senate, where it was announced it
uld be taken up for consideration
morrow, and where It will also be
sed when the vote is reached.
The day began with continuation
yesterdays conference between the
publican members of the two hous-
This resulted in a complete
reement, which, being later pre-
tied as a matter of form to the
nocratic conferees, was shortly ar
p. m. presented to the house.
ERE it was taken up at 3 o'clock,
!, cussed for one hour and passed
a vote of 166 to 40.
Aldrich Rushes Work.
Z The house had no sooner recorded
4 verdict in favor of the bill than
was hurried over to the senate,
prtly before o'clock, with the an
II uncement of the approval of the
. use.
The conference report was read.
after the reading had been con-
ded, Senator Aldrich announced
i tomorrow, after routine business
would move to take up the report
continue its consideration until
4 posed of.
In reply to a question of Senator
lberson, Senator Aldrich stated
It the democratic conferees of the
bate and house had not concurred
the conference report. The dem
ratio senator's spent much of the
in informal conferences among
emselves as to the proper course
pursue with reference to the bill
, decided upon a conference to be
q Id tomorrow at 10 O'Clock as the
st means of affording an oppor-
nifty for an exchange of views with
binding any one.
!, Summon All Absentees.
1t was also decided to summon all
sentees to return. The only point
n naming unsettled is when the vote
II be taken. No one doubts that
Il report will be adopted and the
i carried. AS the situation now
81 pears the time of voting and the
nsequent adjournment of congress
pend largely upon one man-Sena-
II Robert La Toilette.
So far as they have spoken, the
70 mocrats are inclined to permit
al action after brief consideration.
II hey simply desire opportunity to
q umerate what they believe to be
jectionable features of the bill and
NJ point out the inconsistencies to
publican leaders.
X The meeting of the democrats to-
orrow will be a conference, and
I a caucus. There win be no ef-
" TT to bind the participants. SEN
or La Toilette refused to outline his
ogram other than to say he would
tie against the new bill. He was
u consultation with democratic lead
today and his bearing leads 70
conclusion that IL the democrats
L rec to fight the bill La Toilette will
sist them.
May Announce His stand.
Senator Aldrich does mol expect e
s, eak on the bill beyond a brief state
ent. Some OF the democrats are
"a eparing to charge him with having
I pandoned his opposition to asset

The opinion was expressed by Mr.
