The present situation in both Senate
and House may in a not shell, be
summed up thus:
??????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
' Everybody, is asking everybody
else questions without number, and
the answers usually depend, upon the
personal desire of the apdalcef. The
republicans of the Senate are again
j apparently wording together in the
attempt to force a vote upon-the Fed
eral Election bill, as & party measure,
by tiring the democrats out in a con
tinuous RMSinn Th (tension hafl nnw
HOPE, i lasted day and night since Friday
morning, with the exception of a Sun
day recess.and the question of whether
the bill will ever be voted on seems
; as far from being answered as ever.
DOSHEE. ST. GEORGE tl CO.. : One thing favorable to the final passage
; i j of tlie bill is the fact that the republi
cans who voted with the democrats
for free coinage are now voting with
their party on questions affecting the
Election bill. The democrats say the
bill can never be passed unless the
cloture rule is adopted, and there are
still a number of republican Senators
who will not agree to go to that ox
trme. But after all, the "subject about

It now looks as if some big fish
might be caught in the drag net of the j
House committee that is investigating
the silver pool charges. The committee
was informed at its first meeting, held
Saturday, that Senator Stewart had
stated that he had personal knowledge
of Senators speculating in silver; it
was also informed that an official of
the House had stated that he knew of
Congressmen 'who would get into
trouble if the investigation was rushed.
These twocentlemeh and others whose
names have been furnished the 'com

know about silref pools, and if they
tell there's squally times ahead for
