to continue th.? consideration of the
Blair educational bill intermittently
this week until Thursday, when
a vote is to be had. Mr. Plumb has
threatened to antagonize tbe btil with
stone other measure this afternoon, but
is not likely that the senate will agree
lay it aside. There for is it a has general occupied de¬
to get rid of it,
attention of the senate to the ex¬
of other important buainees for
several weeks now.
The fate of the Mil is problematical.
Mr. Blair claims that it will pass by R
small majority. Senators Aldrich and
Faulkner, who have taken a great in¬
terest in the opposition to tbe bill, be¬
lieve that there is a good majority of
the senate pledged against it. They
are assured that several senators who
have voted for the measure in past
years will vote against it at this tune
and they are counting on the votes of
the senators from the new states to de¬
feat it. Mr. Hawley is booked for a
speech on the bill this week and Mr.
Evans will close the general debate. It
has been agreed that on Thursday at 2
o’clock Mr. Blair shall be given the
floor for an hour to make a final appeal
in behalf of the measure and that de¬
bate on the amendments shall be con¬
ducted under the five minute rule.

Secret SeMlon Topic*.
In the secret session the DMph com¬
mittee may bring up something new,
although known what the it will agree of the upon commit¬ is not
to members
tee yet The examination of witnesses
has not been concluded. The committee
has gone for on The a new Washington tack recently. Star A who re¬
porter denied
was called before the committee
that he had said in conversation with
the sergeant-at-arms of the senate that
he would tell the Dolph committee
where certain secret session leakages
were if three members of the commit¬
tee wonld withdraw. It is understood
the committee believe this statement
can be controverted and that it ha sdie-
cussed the possibility of having the re¬
porter indicted for perjury.
Other matter to be debated in secret
session is the contest over tbe nomina¬
tions of the district judge and attorney
for the northern district of Florida.
Mr. Call has given notice that he wilt
ask the senate today that these nomina¬
tion be considered with open doors. His
suggestion and the does nomination* not meet with will likely much
avor,
