WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 97-The
House Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures to-day began the considera.
ton Of the silver question. The whole
subject was discussed in an informal way,
and while members spoke more freely
than heretofore, they did not state their
views specifically, but in very general
terms. The discussion took very wide
range, reference being made to the
French monetary system and our own
paper money. The following resolution
was introduced by Mr.. IIanham during
the session Of the committee.
Resolved, That 1t Is the duty Of the Com.
mittee on Coinage, Weights and Measures
at as early date as practicable TO report
10 the House q bill looking TO the free
coinage oil standard silver dollars.
Mr.. Scott, Of Pennsylvania, thereupon
introduced as a substitute for this resolu.
ton the following.
RsSOlred, That II Is the sense OF this
committee that the best interests OF the
country cannot be promoted by any bill
now before the committee looking TO the
free coinage Of silver.
Mr.. Bynum, oi Indiana, also introduced
q resolution on the subject which read as
follows:
RssOlrsd, That 1t is the sense Of this
com mittee that the laws regulating and
providing for the issue OF gold and silver
certificates should be so amended as to
provide for the retirement OF the same
and for the issue Of coin certificates In
their stead. ras
No action was taken by the committee
upon any Of these resolutions, nor did
they elicit definite expression Of views
from any Of the members. II was re-.
solved that the question should be- further
discussed and opinions sought from differ.
