to determined effort, led by Mr.. How

to discriminate against United States
exports in retaliation for the Mckinley
tariff bill The government, however,
has so much important business on its
list that it is unlikely that such a meas
ure, involving radical departure from
the free trade principles of half cen
tury, would receive serious considera-
ton during the present session.
In France, however, the adoption Of
retaliatory measures is certain as soon
as the Mckinley bill becomes law.

They Have the Better of the Strike as
Yet--A Peculiar Feature.
CHICAGO, July The dock laborers
strike is still on, and the strikers are
having rather the better of it. From
hundred men who struck few days
ago on one line, the Lehigh Valley, the
strike has spread until 1000 men and
five transportation lines are now in
volved. The odd feature Of the strike is
the fact that the strikers are entirely
unorganized. They have no union, but
are simply pulling together from sheer
force of common interest. Their work
is 30 arduous that men unaccustomed to
the work would be soon disabled by it,
and hence the improbability of replacing
the strikers by new men at the prices
offered is very slim.

THE ANXIOUS SILVER MEN.
Hard Nuts for the Senate to Crack-Clotur,
Election Bill and Free Coinage.

Hard Nuts for the Senate to Crack-Cloture,
Election Bill and Free Coinage.
The silver men are growing more and more
impatient at the delay in reaching financial
legislation, but their leaders are not yet con-
ident of being able to hold together all of the
silver faith in any radical movement
1t is said that there is being some influence
used upon certain western men, but that it is
difficult to determine what is the character OF
the influence. 1t is suggested that the intima-
ton has come from the east that if q too radi-
cal silver legislation Is insisted upon some
western bankers, brokers and SPECTATORS will
find it very hard to get money without paying
an extraordinary interest and furnishing I'M
questionable security. This is suggested as the
very natural result Of free coinage.
Matters are getting into such shape, how
ever, that the leading silver men see that they
must take some action promptly or else wait
Tor another Congress to pass a free coinage bill.
They find no promise Of speedy legislation on
finance in the adoption of
CLoTuRE RULE.
This rule might insure vote on the election
bill at such time as the managers should deter.
mine; but if it is not applied promptly the
election bill may stand in the way of silver
legislation for some time yet without being il
self endangered by the delay.
Ahc hdudScTb tuuS IaT nave gwen no a6Sur-
ance that II the cloture rule is adopted the
election bill will be disposed of at once.
Silver men therefore feel that they will have
gained nothing by the adoption of cloture, but
will have put themselves in the power Of the
anti-silver men if they assist in clearing the
way for action on the election bill. Without any
assurance that the action will be had at once
they will have abandoned about the only weapon
they have.
Therefore some of the leaders feel that there
should be prompt action on their part and that
they
SHOULD FORCE THE FIGHTING
What they can accomplish depends upon their
success in holding their own men together.
They feel that every moment taken
up in the consideration of the election bill
puts additional difficulty in the way of free
coinage. and they believe that If the passage Of
the election bill were assured there would still
be Senators who would endeavcr to keep the
question before the Senate az long as possible
to prevent or delay financial legislation.
