So prominent u representative as Mr..
Holman said to-day that under the EN-
| crouchmeuts of the senate
the constitutional methods of
legislation was being gradually
reversed. Said he: "Half of the reve-
nue. bills now come from the senate,
whereas all of them should originate in
the house,"
Another representative sitting by,
said: "Yes, the senate wants 10 boss
everything. Senators, in order to Keep

AMONG THE SEN NToRs
| the opinion seems unanimous that tne
house is arbitrary and dlctaioriai, ana
up ess the senate shall stand firm in the
assertion of It's rights, it might as well,
as one senator put it to-day, "be con-
tent To sit here and pass only
such bills as the house chooses To send
over" This feeling does not argue well

than is generally supposed, ana ali that
class is violently opposed to any such
legislation. | have heard some pretty
strong talk on the subject, and L pre-
dict now that congress will not DO any
thing this session beyond passing the
appropriation bills.
MIR. BLAND AND MR.. BUCkNER.
The same paper has the following:
Mr.. Bland, chairman of the house
committee on coinage, weights ana
measures, saws he does not think the
committee win report Mr.. Buckner's
bill for the suspension OF the coinage OF
silver dollars favorably. The commit
tee meet next Wedne> day to consider
the subject, and Mr.. Bland will oppose
the bill. He says whenever there shall
be any silver legislationit must be to give
unlimited coinage to silver, bat the ques-
ton should be let alone this session.
MIR. M'MILLAN SAID
to reporter that he does not beheVe
there is the least probability OF
the passage of any act restricting
silver coinage this session. lie
says so far as the house IS concernes'
even if the Buckner bill shout ! be re-
ported from the coinage committee, 10
would not pass. He thinks there would
be two-thrds of the vote of the house
against it. Mr.. Mcmillan does not be-
lieye such bill would pass the senate.
Tie house committee on coinage stood
five to five on the Buckner bill, until
the arrival of Chairman Bland. His
presence makes the committee stand
Six to five against the bill; so there is
very little prospect of its getting out OF
the committee.
THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
have agreed to deter consideration OF the
silver question until the arrival of SEN
ator Jones, of Nevada, who is exbs cited
very soon after the reassembling OF con-
gress.
