As TO SILVER.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE silver
situation continues the chief topic Of dis
cussi0n on the house side Of the capitol,
and TO-DAY matters had taken a new
shape. The silver republicans had
conference last night, at which there
was q pretty general and free inter
change Of views. 1t was determined to
make an effort looking to free coinage of
the American product with seigniorage
charge on foreign silver. In quiet way
the advisability Of holding party eau
Gus on this proposition will be mooted.
Those In charge of the plan arc not very
sanguine of success and at present the
situation ~ full Of complications. The
democrats, IL has been found, are not,
as A rule, willing TO favor any measure
which does not provide for absolute and
unlimited free coinage, while To a very
considerable number OF the republicans
the free coinage OF the American product
Is almost, II not quite, as Objectionable
rs the bill which passed the senate. In
view Of the many difficulties In the way
the silver men are moving very slowly.

The Table Glassware Manufacturers Get
Together.

FISDLAY, o., Feb. 1.-THE first prac-
tical outcome OF the efforts that have
been making for the last five years to
form combination OF the glass table
ware manufacturers OF the country took
shape to-day In the application for a
charter Of an intended corporation TO be
called the United States Glass company.
The nominal capital Of the organization
Is placed at 81 900. 900, but several mill
ions will be involved. The table glass;
ware houses that have signed the articles
are located In Ohio, Pennsylvania al d
West Virginia. The factories which
have combined do not represent more
than half the table glassware manufact-
ories OF the country. but those named
are among the largest and most innuen-
tial, and II is claimed IL will not be long
until the United States Glass company
will embrace every table house both
east and west The headquarters OF the
trust will be In Pittsburg.

WASHINGTON, Feb. i1.--President

was o week nGo, with the exception that
the time IL drawing nearer when under
the law the place must be filed. All OF
the men mentioned who were acceptable
were found TO not be- accessible for one
reason or another. The president wants
q man OF experience In executive work
and one who IL well enough known TO
possess the confidence OF the country.
However, II the truth were known

Office the country would not put q
great deal Of stress upon the matter OF

Harrison will I'm the future as In the

He is q statesman and a gentle
man, popular, and stands well

that no would make good secretary Of
