THE EroHr-HoUR BILL.
QUAY AND CANADAY.
Why the Senator Wants to Keep tho
Sergeant-at-Arms in Check.

Col. Canaday says this afternoon that be is still
sergeant-at-arms Of the Senate. The colonel
was led to say this because Senator Quay had
offered a resolution which practically would
deprive him Of the most valuable privilege
attached to his office-the power to remove his
subordinates.s
when Juno 80 passes by will no longer be
sergeant-at-arms," said the colonel to u STAR
reporter. ''lt is not long until then, and he
who cannot wait few days must be impa-
tent"
Senator Quay offered the resolution referred
to because an appointee OF his-a page
named George ii. Mann-was dismissed
this morning. Mann was with tho Senator
IN New York all through the last national cam
paign and the Senator and he are very much
attached to each other.
Col. Canaday says that Senator Quay only
wanted Mann kept in the place for year-he
has beer In about eighteen months. A glance
at the Senate pay roll shows that Pennsyiva-
mans draw $4,000 annually. Heretofore Mon
tana has had nothing.
This morning Col. Canaday, in response to
request from Senator Sanders Of the latter
state. gave Robert Low OF Montana the right
to put his autograph where he can draw money
on 1t at least once month.

WHAT THE VOTE MEANS.
Republican Silver Men In the House Pro.
pose to 70 Slowly.

The vote of the House today against q motion
for the committee Of the whole 10 rise 70 give
an opportunity for amotion to take the silver
bill from the Speakers table, was significant
merely Of the fact that the republican silver
men in the House are not going TO act hastily.
The more conservative OF them want time to
CONSIDER what is to be the outcome Of their &C.
ton. and the chances seem TO be that the
Speaker will give them all the time and per-
haps more than they want.
DETERMINED TO 90 TO CONFERENCE.
There is determination on the part of the
Speaker aud those members Of the House who
are supporters OF the administration and its
policy that the bill shall 60 to conference.
Should they succeed. free coinagelwould surely
be defeated. For this reason the ultra silver
men, those who want nothing short Of
free coinage. are fighting against a
conference and want direct vote
on motion to concur in the Senate
amendments. The skill of the Speaker will
doubtless be taxed to prevent such a
vote and II is suggested that
to accomplish this the Speaker may hold
the bill on his table, not reporting il to
the House until he is satisfied that il
will receive conservative action. He
would probably resort TO pretty vigorous
action if necessary TO prevent the adoption OF
free coinage without consideration Of the mat
tSE IA COultIbuCe.
THE MODERATE SILVER MEN.
Much depends upon what the moderate all
YER men do. There are some twenty-five or
thirty republicans who are determined that
there shall be an enlargement Of the legal
tender silver currency.
They would be satisfied with the House bill
with the bullion redemption clause eliminated.
wHAr Mr.. rAysoS SAYS.
Mr.. Payson is a representative of these men.
He said to a STAR reporter today that they
probably would hold conference to determine
the very least they would accept for silver. and
that IL the anti-silver men would not
concede that they would vote for the
Senate proposition. Prom my own
feeling" he said. land from what have
learned from talks with other moderate
silver men I should say that the
bill will not be permitted TO
60 to conference unless We have pledge that
the conferees will not report measure less
favorable 70 silver than the House bill
with the bullion redemption clause stricken
out. III We cannot get this pledge we will sup
port the Senate proposition. Our demand is
that there shall be something done TO increase
the volume Of the legal tender silver cur
renew"

Sunday Games Don't Count.

DETROIT. Mich, june l8.-The fate of the
International Base Ball League trembled in the
balance yesterday, but after warm meeting
OF six hours it was decided to 60 on. The
Canadian members of the league absolutely re-
fused to do anything that bore the least
resemblance to sanctioning Sunday ball.
although Grand Rapids demanded 1t and even
threatened to withdraw unless 1t was granted
Hamilton wanted to transfer its club to
Montreal. but this the rest of the delegates
would not listen to. The old Buffalo matter.
which was a bugbear TO the league, was settled.
No penalty was affixed for playing Sunday ball,
and there will probably be games in Grand
Rapids and Saginaw Sundays, but they will not
count in the standing.
