A SILVER CAUCUS.
Republican Representatives Discuss the
Coinage Question.

At the caucus of republican represent
atives held last night for the purpose, as an
nounced. of arranging an order of business for
the remainder Of the session, "a discussion of the
silver problem took up most of the time. The
subject was broached by Chairman ConGer Of
the coinage committee, who recently reported
the modified Window bill. 1t was highly ex-
pedient. he said, that the rcpublicans should
agree upon some measure of this kind SO as TO
present a united front when the subject came
up for discussion IN the House. 4 represent
atlye from one OF the new western states spoke
OF the necessity for speedy action upon the sub
ject of silver. He was for free coinage. and
declared that il could be established withou:
danger and with great benefit TO this country
and the whole world.
Representative Walker of Massachusetts. a
member OF the coinage committee. advised the
republicans to support the committee bIll. 1t
would he said. practically afford all OF the ad-
vantage5 or free coinage and would not appear
to be so radical departure from a cOnserv-
ative course as would declared free coinage
bill.
In the course OF the debate the Senate COM
mittee proposition to coin -. SOC. 600 monthly
was discussed and 1t was not without adherents.
One OF the objections made to the House
committee bill was that there was n induce
ments for any one to sell silver to the Treasury
sell 1t at the nearest market to individuals
10 this the answer was made that the bene-
iclal effect would still obtaIn that the price of
silver would be steadied and kept at a maxi
mum. The feature of the debate was the re-
markable strength of the free coinage men,
and, as an eastern member expressed it, the
House is apparently restrained from passing a
free coinage bill only from fear Of a presiden-
tial veto.
Messrs. Mckinley and Cannon took a promi-
N fh.Ad dnhafa fha oh ,,,f.,r
ing the House committee bill and the latter
showing decided leaning toward compro-
mise between the two views represented by
the House and Senate propositions. No at
tempt was made to take Il direct vote upon any
proposition except one, which was adopted,
providing for the appointment of a committee
OF sixteen, to include the republican members
OF the coinage committee. which is to consider
the entire subject, consult with the republican
Senate committee and endeavor to arrange a
definite project for the consideration of the
caucus, which will meet again next Monday
night.

THE MONTANA CASE.
CLOSING THE SENATE DEBATE.
Mr.. Evarts Begins His Argument in
Favor of the Committee Report.
ELECTION CONTEST IN THE HOUSE.
THE SENATE.

Among the bills reported from committees
and placed on the calendar were the following:
Senate bill to provide an American register
for n steamer to be named Australia, owned in
California.
Senate bill to provide and equip two steam
launches to be used in the collection district of
Puget Sound.
Senate bill to ratify and confirm an agree
ment with Sisseton and Wahpeton bands of Da-
kota or Sioux Indians.
THE MONTANA ELECTION CASE.
The consideration of the Montana election
case was resumed, and. as no Senator sought
the floor, the yeas aud nays were ordered on
the first resolution, and the vote was about be-
ing taken when MIR. Evarts rose and suggested
that II no Senator on the other side desired Ia
speak he would proceed to make the closing ar
gument i'll support of the committees report.
Mr.. Morgan said that he did not care to ad.
dress the Senate, but after hear
ing the distinguished lawyer from
required to say something, either in approval
or disapproval, and SO he did not wish to be
understood as being embraced within any
agreement that the Senator from New York
should not close the debate in the case.
Mr.. EyARTs' CLOSING ARGUMENT in FAVOR OF
THE REPORT.
Mr. Evarts said that there was always under
stood the right of any Senator to make any re-
marks before the vote was taken. 1t had been
wisely said by the Senator from Ohio CMr. Sher.
man) that the matter lay in a nut
shell, but it sometimes took time
to find out whether the nut con.
tanned the meat or only the worm. Therefore
one effort on the one side and one on the other
to arrive at the true proposition which was to
affect and turn the vote of the Senate could
not be dispensed with. He then proceeded to
state in detail the
FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE MONTANA
ELECTION,
and to discuss the powers of the territorial can
vassing board, on which. he said, there were
no limitations imposed by the statute in words.
By that he meant. he SAID. that its powers were
unlimited within the sense that it belonged to
the phrase to which it was applied and to the
subject to which it was applied.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Carpet Men Protest-Minor Changes
Before RepOrting-The Two Reports.

Though the majority of the committee on
ways and means have agreed upon their bill
and report and are ready to report it to the
House as soon as the minority report is
prepared, they are still making some slight
changes and are continuing the informal
hearings. A delegation of the Philadelphia
ingram carpet manufacturers were heard today
in opposition to the proposed increase in duty
on carpet woods. They said that the duty pro-
posed amounted to more than the market value
of the ingram carpets and that the effect would
be disastrous to their business.
The committee have made a new class of
common cotton stockings, tending to an in
crease of duty. and are now considering some
other minor changes cffecting increases

CHICAGO's GREAT STRIKE.
The Masters Win Not Yield TO the De-
mands of the Men,

CHICAGO, April 11.--It is thought that the ac-
tion of the Master Carpenters Association last
night in deciding not to concede the strikers de-
mands has done away with all hope of a speedy
settlement of the great strike. The resolutions
adopted by the masters favor the eiyht-hour
dav. but SAYS as there are differences in the
abilities of workmen and as it is a matter reg
ulated greatly by supply and demand a uni
form rate of wages is out of the question. As
10 recognition Of the union the resolutions saw:
''As the carpenters council IS not the ruler OF
a majority of the journeymen carpenters of
Chicago and much less of the better class of
mechanics, and il not wholly composed OF car
penters, but of labor agitators, We can enter
into no agreement with them. which from their
nature they would be unable To fulfill on their
part" The masters also issued loIg address
10 the public setting forth their side of the
case. The strikers say the resolutions miSrop-
resent some of their demands They saw thew
have not asked for a uniform rate of wages
but Tor minimum rate OF forty cents per
hour. The masters resolutions do not bind
the members by any agreement which the as
soclatlon may make in its corporate caracitv.
and according TO the INTERROGATION of several
of the bosses leaves each empiOypr free 70 ac-
cede TO the demands CT his employees if hs sees
lit. The association Will not give IN. 1t Is
understood that several OF the bosses will en-
Geavor TO secure nOn-un!On men at once.
Secretary Howard of carpenters council
after reading the association resolutions said:
I'VE have been frank to acknowledge the
animus of our 1ight-tas desire 20 gain recog.

The contractors have been equally outspoken

carpenters council to determine what further
steps small be taken. 1t may be that the same
general course Will be followed. namely. TO
draw OF men who may be induced 20 resume
work and prevent others from coming 10 the
city. However, ii is more than likely that the
methods adopted by the bosses will influence
ours.

cation, viii hold a meeting this evening 10
