REPUBLICANS HOSTILE

Opposition Taking Shape on Eve

WASHINGTON. Jan ii. Republican
opposition to the new Pemecrattc revenue

Tho text of the meAsure ts still secret, but
enough of the general Idea of the bill Is
known to Republicans to make their con
certed opposition certain.
llttchtja have developed on the majority
side also. Tho Iiemoorntlc caucus sched
uled for tonight to bind the party to sm-.
port of the measure has ben postponed un
til tomorrow night. Chalnrtan Kitehtn
promised today to lay the completed bill
beforo all members of the Ways and Means
Committee Saturday, and to report the
bill lo the Houm Monday next. The Demo
crxtlo plans are to attempt to ;us th
bill by the middle of next week.
Republicans are united tn opposing the
title agreed ursn by tho Democrats, who
hava named the new child 'a btll to pro
vide revenue on account of the army and
navy." This, the Republicans declare, ts
altoirether a misnomer deliberately de
signed to deceive. The minority avers
that the bill Is necessitated by Peraocratie
reckleaeneas In raiding the Federal treas
ur They point to the fact that although
the army and navy are blamed tor the sew
bill, the revenue Is to be placed tn a fund
available for any purft the majority may
elect
There is nothing the Republicans oan do
until the bill Is thrown open tor debate.
Than the minority will air its lewj. Due

yesterday abandoned steam for electricity In
tho operation of Its water works, The change

of the reservoir pumps Is 21,000.000 gallons
