WASHINGTON Cry, April ia meeting
of the committee appointed by the Repub-
Hcan caucus to consider the silver question
was held last night at the home of Senator
Sherman. Some progress was made, but
the bill to be presented to the caucus was
not definitely determined on. Que point has
been made clear during the deliberations
thus far-that something very like unlim-
tied coinage is to meet with the approval of
the senate at this session of congress. The
work Of the caucus committee now is di-
rected to preparing compromise measure
on which the Republican members of the
senate can unite, but the information has
come to the Republican senators with some
directness, that the Democratic senator's
will vote almost without exception for free
coinage, and as several Republican senator's
must vote with them on this point, free
coinage $50 far as the senate can determine
the question: seems almost assured.
The Problem Requiring Solution.
This information comes from the most
reliable sources, and it is the information
on which the Republican caucus committee
is acting Some the Republican senators
are bitterly opposed to unlimited coinage,
and how to reconcile them and the silver
advocates so as to prevent a split in the Re-
publican ranks is the problem with which
the caucus committee is wrestling. Many
Of the western silver men have expressed
willingness to vote for a compromise meas
ure if they can be placed in the right atti-
tude before their people.
Unlimited Coipage Favored.
The Republican members of the house
held caucus last night TO consider party
policy. The silver question was taken up
Immediately and discussed at great length.
During the discussion a remarkable feeling
III favor of unlimited coinage d developed.

caucus He explained the provisions of his

Massachusetts,, Cannon of Illinois, McKin-
ley of Ohio, and Carter of Montana Car
ter made strong plea for free coinage.
Will Consult Over the Matter.
The house and senate silver bills were dis
russed at length. At first the general ten
1ency seemed to be in favor of the house bill
The views expressed We're so diverse, how
ever, that it was agreed that a committee o.
