THE ANTI TRUST BILL.
Likely to be Strengthened by the House
judiciary Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The antitrust
bill passed by the senate will be taken up
for consideration within day or two by
the house judiciary committee.
1t is learned that this measure in it's
present shape does not give Unlimited
satisfaction to the house of representa-
tives. 1t is claimed that the house " ill
not adopt it just as it came from the other
chamber, but will amend it in several i'm
portant particulars. A member of the
judiciary committee said to day:
81 shall insist, and there are others of
both parties who will insist with me, that
the provisions OF the bill combining juris-
dction to the federal courts shalt be
stricken out and jurisdiction given to the
state courts. Now, there is statute
which will make it necessary for us to
frame our amendment with great care. |
allude to the act allowing the transfer OF
cases from state to federal court dockets.
We shall be Obliged to word our amend
ment so as to allow these trust cases to be
decided in the state courts alone"
1t is we'll known that the house is jeal-
GUS of the jurisdiction of the federal courts
and without regard to what party is In
control there. The judiciary committee,
it is believed, will make the bill more
stringent than it was when it came from
the senate.

SILVER LEGISLATION,

Members of the senate Republican sill
yer committee have not had meeting
since Thursday night, and indications are
they will wait until the house caucus an
nounces their conclusion upon the sub
ject. That committee consists of SEN
stors Morril, Allison, Aldrick, Sherman,
Jones and HiscOck, six Republican mem
bers Of the committee on finance. and
Davis, Mitchell Mcmillan, Manderson,
Platt, Pierce and Teller. The silver men
on this committee are contending for
free coinage of bullion produced in the
United States and of Mexican ores
smelted in the United States refineries.
They say the entire amount produced in
the United States and Mexico as show
by statisticsI of the treasury department
is $57 100000 ounces annually, all but
100000 ounces being native produc-
ton. This entire amount they claim is
not as great at present values as the Sec
retary is required to purchase by the
terms of the Jones bill That I'm
qulres the purchase monthly of silver |
bullion to the value OF four and half |
millions of dollars, but they admit the
effect of the passage of this bill would be |
to increase the value of silver. In case
they are unable to secure anything from
the committee more favorable to them
than the terms of the Jones bill, the sill
yer men will insist upon a substantial
increase in paper currency. There are
several suggestions before the committee
the point.
