Washington, May 29. Possibility
of unexpected delay and possibility of
the death of the currency bill devel
oped this morning when Senator Stone
of Missouri, returned here and noti
fied LitFollctte he would Join In talk
ing the bill to death.
It Is now believed the vote will be
delayed until next week by LaFolIette,
who says It Is evasive, dangerous and
does not meet the requirements.
Senator Gore has also promised to
Join in the fillibuster.
These developments have changed
th whole situation here, as last night
it was believed congress would ad
journ this evening. There Is a possi
bility that the republican leaders will
surrender when the filibusters threat
en to turn the guns on the bill.
Culberson opened the debate this
afternoon. He said: "The daiigemui
Infhitiiin .if Pllrrennv linger lh HVK-
tcm provided by this measure woulj
prove disastrous and result in the con
t'ractlon of the money supply." He
criticised the Roosevelt administra
tion as being wilful extravagance.
La Follette began the, fillibuster by
demanding a count to see If a quorum
was present. This was overruled by
Fairbanks.

Colonel James Jackson, U. S. army,
retired, hero of the civil war and of
many Indian campaigns, will deliver
the Decoration day address at the
cemetery Sunday forenoon. He was
invited yesterday to be the speaker
of the day and an acceptance was re
ceived by wire this morning.
As a speaker Colonel Jackson has
an excellent reputation, and there are
a number of things con'cerning his ca
reer that make It especially appropri
ate that he should deliver the memor
ial address in this city.
As an officer in the civil war he
distinguished himself in several bat
tles and was rewarded by promotions
and medals of honor.
An Indian Fighter.
At the close of the war the colonel
became a captain of cavalry in the
regulars and fought through some of
the hardest fought Indian campaigns
of the west. 1
"During the Piute war of '78, he
brought a command to this county
from Klamath, where he had partici
pated in the Modoc war, and with his
men was encamped for some time on1
the Umatilla reservation for the pur
pose of protecting the people of the
county from the hostile redskins.
Since his retirement from active
service Colonel Jackson has been the
inspector general of the O. X. G. and
I generally beloved by the officers
and men of the guard. Consequently
his selection as Decoration day speak
er is pleasing to veterans and guards
men alike.
