): from Our Regular CORRESPONDENCE
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Mr. Atkins, from
the Appropriations Committee, to-day re-
ported the legislative bill, with Senate
amendments, and when he stated that, for
reasons that need not be given, be was will
ing to concur in these Objectionable amend
meats, everybody smiled, because every
body understood that he had rs well have
said that as the President would certainly
veto The bill it was useless to waste time
with Senate amendments or committees OF
body would be bound by what they now
did in regard to the bill. int;mating that at
ter the veto these amendments could be
overhauled. Mr.. Conger asked if tue. bill
contained the political sections, and was in
formed that it did. After brief colloquy.
the bin was passed as it came from the Sem
ate, and went before night to the President,
who will send his veto message to Congress
Monday. He could do so tomorrow, for
hear he has it written, and duly criticised
and approved By his stalwart guardians =.
Why THE REPUBLICANS WANT IN EARLY :.
By. ADJOURNMENT. 49,.
The Republicans now want an early ad-.
iournment because they do not want Proc
tor Knott to get before Congress his report
from the Judiciary Committee on the Pre-
u 1,cf II ~ af.n
this report when the judiciary Committee
is called in it's proper turn, and the sooner
Congress adiourns the fewer the chances of
this report being made. Mr.. Knott is 4 for
chile writer, and I hear that this paper is
rot only Il, strong one, but will make Il most
efficient campaign document.
HOW coNGREssMEN COMPLIMENT RIVALS.
A member being asked what he thought
Of sprightly rival, said 81" lie reminds me
OF a swan Swimming gracefully on a placid
lake, utterly unconscious that he is only cut
ting about four inches OF water, and per-
fectIy ignorant OF the profound depths be-
meath him..
THE SILVER BILL AGAIN TO-DAY.
f. The silver bill was taken up again to-
tlav, and il it's friends have known what
they wanted they have been at times sim
pularIy unfortunate in the language OF their
amendments. This has compelled them to
waste IL good deal OF time in rectifying mis-
takes. Now, bad General Warner, the pa
tron OF the bill, in the beginning taken his
seat by some experienced parliamcntarlan
like s. S. Cox, for example, and deferred to
his judgment throughout. the bill would
have been disposed Of days ago. The ca
pacty 10 lead in fight over an important
bill is certainly not acquired III session,
and not always in many wears. The bill us
il stood to-day when taken up had free coin
ace in the Sd section and free coinage pro.
hibted in the 4th section. Then in the Sth
section the silver certificates given for bull
lion at its market value at present ut the
rate Of $3.50 in certificates for s., 900 in bull
lion-because there is u difference between
the bullion and legal-tender value OF silver
OF about fifteen per cent.-were to be re-
ceiyed for all dues to the Government, but
not to be used either in paying the interest
on the public debt or Tor national bank re-
serves. Mr.. Belford, Of: Colorado, gave the
reason why he has stood by the advocate:
Of the silver bill, and in opposition to hi;
Republican friends, when he stated that
Colorado this year will produce $50, 900, 0O(
OF silver. He further stated in private tha
silver in his State is easily ard cheaply
mined. The bill was further amended so a
to provide that ell the silver bullion I'll,
Government shall become owner Of shall b'
coined into silver dollars. At ten minute
past 8 General Warner offered an amend
ment to the ninth section, which he intend
ed should restore free coinage and counter
act the effects Of the Marsh amendment
Mr.. Marsh said it,would not, however, ant
