ANXIOUS SILVER MEN,
Speculation on the Probable Fate Of The
Financial Bill in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-It is the general
expectation that the latter part of next
week the Senate Financial Bill will come
over to the House and the members are
awakening to the possibility of another
strife over the measure somewhat similar to
that preceding the enactment of the present
silver law. There is considerable speepla-
ton as to the shape the bill will take in the
Senate, as its features, outside of the free
coinage proposition. which is looked unon
as inevitable, Will, to some extent, influence
the members in their views On this noint
the silver men themselves do NOT appear
united. :,
Some think bill should be passed pro-
vidlng for nothing whatever save free coin-
age, as they fear its consideration would be
retarded II the bill were numbered m with
general banking legislation. Others are of
the opinion that Tree coinage would be
strengthened by association with these sec
lions, which are popular in the East. When
the bill comes over to the House the general
impression is that it will be at once referred
to the House Committee on Coinage How
ever, the attitude which the Speaker will
assume toward the bill here becomes of i'm
porlance, and there is good reason to be-
lieve Reed has not himself determined upon
his course.
prominent Western Republican silver
man, member of the Coinage Committee
and friend of the Speaker, said the hin
would go to the Coinage Committee and
would he reported to the House. If the bill
is not reported within a reasonable time, a
motion will be made to discharge the com
mittee and take the bill up for action in the
House. The Speaker has it in his power to
be great stumbling block in the wav of
such action, and for this reason his attitude
is the subject of intense interest.
