There is the best of authority for stating
that there is serious dissension among the

FREE COINAGE KILLED.
The Defeat of the Force Bill Sealed
Its Fate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-The critics Of
the anti-force bill republican senators who
attribute their action to their desire for
free coinage was great mistake. The
anti-force bill republicans have buried the
free coinage bill, the cloture rule, and the
force bill, and they know it, and
knew that they were doing it on
Monday. The chief hope the free coinage
men had for the passage of the free coinage
bill in the House depended upon the passage
of the force bill by the Senate. Now that
the force bill seems to be forever at rest,
Speaker Reed and its other friends in the
House will retaliate on the free coinage bill,
which will be a convenient object for their
otherwise impotent rage.
