Tne Washington Pott although a Republi can paper, has done muco, towards de feating the infamous Election Fore? Bill. In its issue of yesterday, under the above caption it says: "The outlood for the Federal elec tions bill is not as hopeful as it appear ed t.wo weeks since, and it has; censed to be the uugbear or legislation. But little has beeadone with the bill since the last caucus of Republioan Senators. It 13 being dallied with, but the impe tus that was given it by the hand of Speaker Reed and his Republican as sociates has been lost, and there is not propelling power enough in the Senate to get it into motion again. There are some half frozen reasons why the bill has thus been allowed to lapse just at the time when the prom ise was the greatest that it would be pushed to a finish. Gov. Gordon, or Georgia, has rather indirectly an nounced that the South could boycott X ll ! 1 a uruiern eapiiai in retaliation, dui in his indiscretion he has only made the sarav3 argument that was made by two Senators in the caucus, nameli'. that they had investments in the South, and to support the bill they placed, their business interests in jeopardy. Both of these Senators have announced that they would vote for the bill rather than desert their party, but they have industriously been at work ever since the caucus in throwing cold water on the enterprise. wThe estimate most favorable to the passage of the bill is that thirty-five Republican Senators prefer to have it passed, leaving twelve who are either absolutely opposed to it or indifferent to its late. One-half of this number represents those who would vote against the proposition to change the rules, and as the change must be made if the bill is to be passed in time to be effective at the coeiing election an al most unsurmountable stumbling block is presented. While all these reasons have oper ated to prevent the pushing of the bill to a position where it could be taken 111 SIXESS: OUTLOOK.- R.

Mrs. Senator Ransom passed through this city yesterday with several mem bers of the family on her way to Blow ing Rock. Hon. B. H. Bunn Congressman from this district returned from Durham last night and spent the night here conclusion that the bill is practically abandoned is that there is a wide diff erence oi opinion as to whether it is cetter to pass the elections bill or a reapportionment bill. Both cannot be passed, and perhaps neither, but there are "plenty of Republicans who prefer an apportionment bill which would make the next five Congresses certain ly Republican, to a bill the effects of which can only be coniectured, with the probability that there would be the wide reopening o: the chasm. The next cauous of Republican Sen ators will be to determine between the two propositions rather than the sim ple question whether the elections bill shall be pushed any farther. The Democratic Senators are not caucusing any, but they have a policy wnich so far has proved better than any other idea that could have teen adopted, namely, to proceed just as if no bill had been thought of in connec tion with Federal elections. This plan was suggested by benator Gorman, on the principle that so long asthe-Re-publican Senator did not know what the Democrats were going to do they would not know what to do them selves."

Washington, Julv The state ments printed in several Republican newspapers this morning to the t fleet that the Senate sub-committee on priv ileges and election has com pleUl their work of revising the IoxJge elec tion bill, and that it will ioon be ready to be called up in the ienate, are ab surd. It is true that the ub commit tee has gone over tho bill and U ready to consult with the full -committee, but the bill is no nearer Wing reported to the Senate than it was 4 m;nih izo for the' hlmple . reason that -it S cot and never has been in the ross -n of tho committee on privilege and elections. The bill that came over from the Hour was laid upon the table in the Senate, and it is there now. The committee have been considering the subject solely upon their own responsibility and without an instruction whatever Irom the Senate. The bill was with held from the committee for the ox- press purpose of preventing it from be ing killed by Republican Senator, who might manage to keep it in com mittee indefinitely if an opportunity offered. The statement that tho tub- committee had eliminated the more objectionable features of the bill, particularly the proviso as to jury commissioners, is equally untrue. The jury commission feature was stricken from the bill in tho House. Senator Spooner said to-day that in the lniormai consideration oi an elec tion bill they had condensed the House measure somewhat, but had not de cided to recommend the elimination of anv of the important provisions of the Lodge bill. Although the committee on privileges and elections is proceed ing with the unauthorized ebnsidera tion or a force measvure, there are no indications that it will have an early opportunity to iret the bill before the Senate. .

As it is desired to extend, as far as possible, an equal opportunity to all who desire to sell, the Secretary of tho Treasury has de cided to receive proposals for a few days and has accepted offers received during the day of four at 1.24, and four and a half s at 1.032, aggregating 350,000. Washington, July 2-5. The Clayton vs. urecKinriago election case irom Arkansas, under discussion, was re sumed to-day by the House committee on elections.
