bile for orders in regard 10 the MINIS,
deny that such Interpretation OF them
Is by any means necessary, even adj
hitting that preparations are being
made TO increase the capacity of the
MINIS for the coinage of silver. They
say that this would be just as necessary,
providing the Secretary was convinced
that a modified Silver bill would pass
over the veto of the Presidents as though
he expected it to be approved. The
orders referred to direct immediate sus-
pension OF the coinage of Trade Dollars
until a specific guarantee is given that
they are designed for expectation.
Existing deposits of bullion for manu-
facture into Trade Dollars amount to
abou: 81 900 900. The effect of theSec
retary's order is to suspend the coinage
OF Trades where they are to be used
for domestic purposes. Orders have
also been issued to the Superintendent
of the Philadelphia Mint to make i'm
mediate preparation for the coinage of
silver, and similar preparations are in
progress in San Francisco. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has. besides this,
directed that vault accommodations AT
the Assay Office in New York be placed
in readiness TO receive silver coin.

NEW YORK, Feb. %.
A Tribune Washington corresponds
ent, speaking of the prospects of the
Silver bill, says: So now there is
very good reason TO believe the Presi-
dent will not only veto the bill as it
passed both Houses, nj will send il
back to the House of Representatives
with a ringing message, setting forth
in addition to his objections to the bill
what kind of silver legislation, ii any,
ought, in his opinion, to be had. In
this respect the President is likely 10
step aside from the beaten track of pre-
cedent. Conkling will speak against
the bill, and it is likely, if the Presi-
dent vetos it, it will not prevail.
