the pressure of realizations and short sales by
the trading element, and prices soon began to

THE CONSERVATIVES LIKELY TO wIS-THEIR
PROBABLE PROGRAM.
The votes TO correct the journal of the
House and to approve it as corrected, in all Of
which the Speaker wns defeated does not in
dictate necessarily the ultimate passage Of q
free coinage bill. A number Of the democrats
who voted with the silver men did 30 merely
to rebuke the Speaker. and while their
number is Offset in a measure by silver republi-
cans who voted with the Speaker there are
probably, oil told, on both sides enough mem
bers favoring conservative course to sustain
the Speaker in such course when the politi-
cal maneuvering is over.
THE SILVER MRS WILL THY TO FORCE A VOTE
on the question of free coinage at once. and in
this they are apt TO be defeated. A resolution
will be offered referring the bill to the CON-
mittee by authority Of the House, where il
has already gone by the action Of the
Speaker, with instructions that it be reported
as promptly. This resolution is offered with
the understanding that the committee is TO
recommend Inconvenience in the Senate
amendments. but to agree that the bullion re-
demption clause shall be stricken from the
House bill. and the silver republicans and
probably number of democrats are expected
to vote for the resolution.
IT Is NOT AT ALL LIKELY
that free coinage bill WILL in the end. be per-
mitted to pass the House. The House bill, with
the bullion redemption clause stricken out,
will probably be the bill adopted. and the con-
servative silver men will, having got this much,
agree to be satisfied and not to vote for free
coinage.
THE FIRST MOVE
will doubtless be Inconvenience by the
House In the Senate amendments. and in con.
ference the House conferees will offer the sac.
rifce Of the bullion clause in consideration oil
q concession on the part of the Senate.
If the Senate does not agree to a compromise
1t is not likely that there will be any legisla
ton in spite Of the display of strength that the
silver men have made in both houses.
THE VOTE IN THE HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON.
The disposition not to act on the Senate
amendments at once as the ultra-siIver mel
desire, was evinced in the determine
ton by vote of 140 TO 10:
to take up a conference report on the anti
trust bill. when the converse proposition wal
understood TO be the consideration OF the
