'T have been astonished." said Con-
gresham Cooper last night, in dis

the House of Representatives better
qualified to give an opinion on what
would not pass the House, or on what
seen every sort of thing happen that
can happen ip Congress. He speaks
by the book.
"The situation in Washington" he
continued, 'is curious, and probably
