PARIS, Dec. 1S.-It is believed the gov.

land and some OF the other powers may
object on the ground Of the futility OF pre-
vious conferences. In such an event
powerful influences will be brought TO

The tariff bill as now shaped under
the hands Of the committee OF the
chamber outdoes the Mckinley bill
in protectionism. The Gironde Com
merce league, the leading free trade body
has issued strong manifesto denouncing
IL as tending 20 surround France with a
Chinese wall, the inevitable result Of
which will be 10 ruin of the country's ag-
ricultural, commercial, and shipping in

WINDOW WILL KILL IT
Heading on the Sentiment In Favor Of
Free Coinage.
PLOTTING AGAINST SILVER
Harrison's Government Playing
into the Hands Of Wall Street-A
True and Pretty Story for
Sunday Reading.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The Tribune says:
IL is understood at the conference with
the bankers yesterday Secretary Window
intimated that free coinage silver bill
is likely TO be passed at the present
session OF congress, unless forestalled by
some action. The suggestion of Treasurer
Houston that fractional silver coin should
be transferred TO the bullion account and
the secretary be authorized to issue silver
certificates for il was discussed. The
treasurer also wished 10 include the trade
dollar bullion, which, with fractional sill
yer, would make fresh issue Of about
S25,000,000 in currency.
Another proposal was that the treasury
should buy each month, in addition to
the legal requirements of 100000 ounces
OF silver, enough more TO counteract the
retirement Of national bank notes. The
withdrawal from the national bank cur.
rency amounts to about SIS, ,000. 900 year,
and il was proposed that the secretary
buy enough silver TO make good the con-
traction. The proposition that was re-
ceived with the most favor was
that the treasury should be authorized
TO buy at once all the silver in sight of
American production. The amount cam
not be ascertained. II seemed to be the
general opinion at the meeting, and il
was encouraged by Window, that even il
the amount was above SlSO00,0O0 this
course would be preferable to free coin
age bill.
About the amount Of silver that might
have TO be purchased under this plan
Morgan said: II do not know how much
there is. | do not think il is over
sl00O0,0o, but you might as well
ask that boy there, for he knows as much
as Secretary Window, and the persons
who consulted with him were agreed on
one point, that no definite action has been
taken as a result of the conference
THE only thing youcan say" Seligman
remarked, "is that the administration is
willing and ready TO relieve the situa-
tion."
A banker discussing the situation, said:
"There is no doubt about the position of
the government. The free coinage of
silver is opposed, but the larger use of the
white metal is favored
