LEE STATUE
AT CAPITOL

Washington. d. c., Aug. 20.-The
arrival here of statue OF General
Robert f.. Lee, to be placed in Stat
uary hall to represent the State of
Virginia has 50 far caused no com
ment. But the Virginia Represen-
tatives and friends OF the movement
are anxious lest some objection be
raised when the matter Is brought
before Congress. 1t is necessary
that the Statue be accepted by Con-
gress before it can be placed in the
desired position Senator Daniel
and other Virginiaans, while not
doubling ,hat the statue will be ac-
cepted are nervous lest objection
arise from some ill-advised quarter
from some member who is looking
for a sensation
The leaders i'm both Houses will
do all they can to repress any such
demonstration
The feeling among a vast majority
Of the members Of both Houses is
that the acceptance Of the statue OF
General Lee will do much toward
healing any ill-feeling that may now
exist between the North and .he
South.

DEMOCRATS
ARE JUBMANT

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 20. -
Democratic leaders in the House are
jubilant over the factIonalism tlrat
has developed in the Republican
ranks during the consideration Of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and are
freely predicting that the next House
will be Democratic.
Not in many years has factionalism
among the Republicans in both
Houses been so pronounced as IT Is
now, and it Is generally admitted
that the breach between the progress
sives and regulars in the Senate and
;he insurgents and regulars in the
House cannot be bridged by ordin-
airy methods
The conflict, political observers be-
iieve, will continue until one faction
or the other is driven froK the Con
gress. The nsurgent Republicans
in the House declare with confidence
that the race OF Uncle Joe Cannon is
run, and even should me next House
be Republican, Mr.. Cannon can never
again be elected to the speakership.
1t is somewhat different in the
Senate. The leadership there is
strongly intrenched, and such com
manding figures as Aldrich. of Rhode
Island; Hale, of Maine: Lodge. of
Massachusetts, and Gallinger. of New
Hampshire may remain If they are
so disposed.
Prominent Democrats point to in
surgency in both Houses as hope
full sign that the public at large is
tired of what practically amounts to
both dictatorship In both Houses. and
argues that the people will flock to
the Democratic side at the next elec-
! tion
1t is certain that Mr.. Cannon has
emerged from ;he present battle with
his prestige considerably shattered
Many predict that he will retire At
the expiration Of his present term.
and that even If he should be re-
elected he could never again seek
tne Office he has held for so long and
administered with such an iron hand
Mr.. Cannon himself has given no
I sign Of wnat his intentions are, but
close friends expect him to retire
gracefully from public life.
