The Financial Measures

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The Subsi-
diary Silver bill which passed the House
some weeks ago is now before the Senate
in the morning hour. 1t will undoubt-
edly pass, although there is some opposi-
tion to it, led by Mr.. Edmunds, on the
ground that it is not the duty OF the Gov
ernment to redeem its coin as is provided
for by this bill. The Warner bill has
gone to the Finance Committee, where
II will probably lie until next winter.
There is some doubt as the standing of
the committee on the subject of free
coinage. There are only three opponents
of 1t who can be relied upon, Bayard,
Herman and Morrill,. Wallace, Voorhees,
and Beck are pronounced friends Of the
measure, while Ferry and Allison are
doubtful. Jones Is out Of town.
The two doubtful men therefore will
decide whether the bill shall be report ed
back at The present session, and it is ex-
pected that to this extent at least they
will act with the hard-money men. This
afternoon in the conference of House
Democrats General Ewing expressed
himself very strongly in favor of waiting
| for veto of the Warner bill, but the
prospect is that he will not be gratified.
