NO SHOW FOR SILVER.
Little Prospect Of Legislation for
Free Silver at this Session
Of Congress.
The Matter Will be Discussed In
the Senate During the Pres
ent Week.
The Tariff Debate In the House IN Expected
to Bring Out Interesting
Features.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-[Special. when
the house goes into committee of the whole
tomorrow morning the lead schedule of
the tariff bill will be the first matter con-
sidered. The only hope now that the
mixed ores will be placed on the free list is
that questions of personal privilege will
continue to occupy the house until the time
arrives for reporting the bill to the house.
Although it is said that Russell Harrison
is taking an active part in politics in Mon
tana, and that his influence has been made
manifest in several appointments lately
made, he is thus spoken of in New York
paper: Russell Harrison has become quite
we'll known here in New York. He has no po-
litical enthusiasm, but owns several news
papers in Montana, and is ambitious as a
journalist. He is not especially cordial to
office seekers.
''There will be no silver legislation at this
session of congress-" remarked represen-
tative who has kept informed on the mat
ter. And there is u probability that he is
right. There is no prospect of agreement
between the opposing factions, and if the
| silver men force free coinage bill through
congress the president will veto it, and long
before another bill can be agreed upon and
passed an adjournment will be reached.
The silver men have really ovcrreached
themselves in getting concessions from the
anti-silver men. The latter are
now in rebellion and will, in the interest of
what they believe safe currency, 90 no far
ther, and let the silver infationists do their
utmost. This is the idea expressed by a
member who is willing to compromise Oh
any fair proposition. As the consideration
of the silver bill is postponed in the house
and the debate promises to 20 on indefi
nitely in the senate, the prospect is that
silver legislation will stand where it now is
for this session.
Paul Mccormick, of Junction City, and
A. G. johnson, of Fort Benton, Mont, are

Washington state senator: Senator Squire's
bill to provide for monument for General
Grant passed the senate yesterday. 1t was
amended to provide that the cost may be
limited to S300, 900, which amount is none
too large to expend in erecting fitting
monument to Ulysses s. Grant.

FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
Indications of Increased Political
Activity.
Republican Headquarters Opened for Enroll
ment - Coleman's Reception - In
spectors and Judges.

The indications are that the coming week
will be one of activity in local political cir
Giles. The Democrats. who have already
been busily at work preparing for organiza-
ton. will tomorrow night elect permanent
officers for the 176 precinct clubs. and on
Monday night the County Committee will
meet to settle any contests that may arise.
On Tuesday the State Central Committee
will be called together to decide upon the
time and place for the holding Of the next
State Convention. Equally important will
be the meetin IS of the Executive Commit
tees of the various Assembly districts,
which will be held on Wednesday to select
the 100 members of the new County Com
mittee, which it is expected will be ready
to organize on or about the LIST of June. a
large number OF the present committeeman
no doubt will be rechosen, but there will
be many new men in the new committee in
addition to the forty new members added
in the increase from sixty to 100. Thus it
will be seen that the Democrats are taking
advantage of every moment of time, and
are arranging matters so as to 60 into the
fight thoroughly organized.
The Republicans have done little or
nothing. A general lethargy seems to have
pervaded their ranks.

CRAFT AND GUILD.
Carpenters Are Conceded Eight
Hour Wages.
d Quiet Day Among the Molders-Presidsnt
Valentines Statement Regarding
Reported Interview.

The members of Carpenters Union. No.
%, yesterday made demand upon their
employers for So so day for eight hours
work, instead of IS 20, which the builders
and contractors had decided upon paying
for the shortened hours of labor.
1t was the first decisive step which the
jOurneymen had made toward carrying out
their resolution passed last week of de-
1nanding So so. 1t was at first looked upon
as an individual matter, and that the union
would not indorse any movement tending
toward strike.
Relying upon this, the contractors drew
up their agreement for signatures of men,
bers of the Builders Association, to the
effect that they would not pay more than
DO cents an hour for eight hours work. 1t
W as obligatory upon the members to secure
The signatures of three-fourtbS of those be-
longing 10 the association before this agree
ment could go into general effect
The effort to obtain those signatures fell
through, and then came the action Of the
jOurneymen yesterday. Opinion WAS
divided among the builders as to acceding
TO the demands of their employees. 1t was
soon found, however, that the majority of
the most prominent builders were willing
TO pay the wages asked for.
REASONS ASKED AND GIVEN.
As soon rs some of these latter saw their
men quitting yesterday morning they in
quired the reason of il. and when informed
told their men to 60 back TO work and that
they would receive their money. What the
contractors who are willing to pay the ad-
vance want Ia a uniformity of wages on the
So 30 basis among all the Builders. They
say the carpenters earn these wages even
when working eight hours, and they are
not unwilling to pay them.
1t IS well-known that nearly all the
builders have anticipated this matter, both
as regards hours ana wages, the carpenters
having informed them of their intention of
working eight hours after May LIST, and
have figured on the shorter hours and SIS 80
day in making contracts.
Late yesterday afternoon il vas an
n0unced on Pine street in the vicinity of
the Builders Exchange that all but seven
or eight builders have agreed to pay their
men So 90, and II was expected that these
would fan into line before next Monday.
If they do not their men will refuse to work
Tor them.
CONSIDERING THE SITUATION.
The Executive Committee of the Carpen-
ters and JOiners' Union met in executive
session again last evening at harmony
Hall, and spent several hours in consider
ing the situation.
1t was reported that all the contractors
and builders had conceded the eight hours
with So 80, except four tr five minor ones
who did not have many men in their en-
ploy.
When the demand for the Increased pay
was made upon the other contractors the
men had hardly time to don their coats pre-
paratory to leaving when they were told to
so to work again.
Plans were formed last evening to coerce
the refractory builders into agreeing to the
carpenters terms, but they will be kent
