CLARK A 80 N. THE MILLS BILL. 1 attest Gossip About iU p L'asrs* the Measure Maj Take. Special to the News . Washington, M >iy 18.— Thera its great (led of consultation among Re publican members of the House on the proposition made by Mr. Mills last week, that the House shall vote upon tko Mills’JBill, and a substitute to be offered by the Republicans di rectly upon the close of the debate this v.et-k and without consideration of the amendments. Up to this point no sort of an agreement has been reached by the Republicans, and there appears to be a wide differ ence of opinion upon the subject. Some members believe that the Mills Bill cun be easily oeateu in its pres ent shapF, while others, and notably a part of the New York contingent, bold that they are in duty bound to use every effoit to kill the bill, and that this can be effectually done only by riddling it with amendments. Prominent Republican Senators are being consulted almost every day by the Republican leaders in the House Some of them profess to be Iifcve that Mr. Mills was prompted to make his proposition through fear that hia party would disrupt and be led off by tempting amendments of fared by the Republicans. Mr. Mills himself says he has no fear ou that score. He says he made the offer to save the bill from being drawn into the whirlpool of five minutes debate, which might hold it in its grip indefinitely. lie is confi dent that his party can be held to gethor in the principles under which the bill was constructed, and that all of the vital features can be preserved, although amendments of minor im portsnee about which he cures little may be made. It appoars that the proposition to take the test vote without the consideration of amend mendments was made by the Demo ernts as a condition to granting the extension of general debate. At the time the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee do dined to give an immediate answer, but took it under consideration. Mr. Mills expects the offer to be re jected, but it may be noted that the canvass which is going on has reveal ed the fact that the proposition is acceptable to a considerable number of Republicans.

It 44 short and reads as follows: T^e Democrats ot Kentucky, roaf firming their allegiance to th^ princi pleS embodied in previous party plat forms, State and National, do espec iaUEJ declare; ■ l&rst—Their unqualified confi deflCe in the administration of Urov er Cleveland, President of the United Statfs, and tfceir unflagging devotion to tfce doctrines laid down in his last annual message to Congress; and they instruct their delegates to' the National Democratic Convention (o vote as a unit for his renomiuation. Second—They regard all exactions from the people under the guise of taxation, beyond what may be necessary to defray the legit imate expenses of the gov er&u>ent, honestly and econom icaily administered, as legalized rob bery; aud the settled policy of the Republican party to subsidize special industries by unjust and oppressive bounties levied mainly upon the nec esaaries of life meets with (heir de termined condemnation. Third—They indorse the proposal of the WajBand Means Committee, known as the Mills Bill, as a fair, con servative and practical measure of revenue reform, and applaud the coarse of their Representatives in Congress in giving it n unanimous and hearty support. FoUitk—They deprecate sectional agitation, and denounce the efforts of the Republican party to destroy antouomv of tbo several States and conec-ntra * ull political power in a centralized Government, by their re peated interference with State elec tions, aud other invasions of their re seved rights, to renew factional strife among the pc ..pie, and to remand a large portion of the Union to the cor rnpt methods of the era of recon sirnctiou. Fifth—They cordially indorse the administration of Gov. Ruckner as eminently wise, patriotic aud states manlike, and worthy of the oommen dation and confidence of the people. Superior Court Matter.
