The senate will adjourn on Saturday for the holidays, ltiJ not ven the friends of the bill express con fidence of action on the measure before tuat time. Senators Hanna and Beveridge say the republicans must consider the statehood bill in caucus, tc which Mr. juay replies that it is an uniieard-of proposition to talk of changing e de claration of the republican i.atlona; platform in a caucus of senators. A deadlock in the senate is predicted, lor the Qght is to be strongly waged upon both sides. It is known that Quay will not yl but the republican leadeis of the :eo ate think some among the twelve or fifteen republican members wlin have .Hied themselves with him will not r r.titin steadfast when pressure Is brought to bear upon them. The programme, as it is understood by both Fides in the controversy, is tills. The debate will continue for several days, when a proposition will be m id -lo lav the measure P.side and eonsid-v something else. It is anticipated this will be voted down, end the vote wiii show the statehood advocates in the majority. Then Hanna and Beveridge will make their proposition to consider the meas ure in caucus, and Quay and his friends will doubtless refuse to attenj the meeting. Hanna has some influence with west ern senators like Hanrbrough and other men, it Is believed, can be forced or led to abandon Quay in return for prom ised support for schemes of their own. It is conceded now that Quay has a majority of the senate with him. count ing the full democratic membership. His success in the measure'will depend upon his being able to hold his repub lican followers.
