The House silver i.iil May Pass.

WASHINGTON June [ The belief is be coming more and more pronounced that the House bill will pass in its present form with the possible exception that the section providing for tue purchase Of S4 5O0, 000 oi bullion per month will be changed so that will provide fer the purchase of 4,50o,0 00t ounces The feature Of the bill that will be the source Of much controversy. it is believed, is that providing that the holder of bullion certificate may demand it's re discretionary power given to the Secretary of the Treasury to refuss To redeem iu bullion There is constantly growing belief that the bill wilt pass the House Intact, but that the bullion feature will ba struck out ln tue senate. Tais will ueces- sitats conference between the two Houses and there is probability that the conferences will be obliged to report to their respective bodies that no agreement can be reached A vote of instructions tc the House conferees may be given and the chances are that the conferces will meet again and successfully patch up their differ enees by allowing the bullion feature tc remain iu the bill. The bullion feature is advocated by Secretary Windom, who, oi course, represents the views of the Presi dent, and tho Senate will be almost obliged to agree to 1t if the bill is to receive ths executive signature.

At the fourth shoot he failed to appear and his companions were scared enough, thinking they had shot him.
