Speaker Gillett expects to arrive in Washington on the special train with the president early Saturday morning and to see house republican leaders before going to Springfield, - Mass., where he will speak Sunday on the arms conference treaties. He appeared interested today when told the Wash- ington reports of the developments of a difference of opinlon among re- publican house leaders as to the method of bringing up the bonus bill. Will Give Adverse Ruling He has indicated that he will rule adversely on a motion to bring up the bonus legislation Monday under sus- pension of the rules.

The speaker appeared undisturbed by the situation and left the impres- sion that he thought handling the matter through a special rule was the best procedure. He had already said that he thought the bonus bill a most important one and that the house should have timé to consider it and entertain amendments, if desired. N. H.
