New YoBg, Nsa. i6-~Aooarding "a the
World, it is pretty certain bill for the
free coinage Of silver in some form will
pass both the democratic house and re-
publican senate of the present session.
The plan is practically agreed upon by
those who viii control the matter in the
house, says a Washington special to the
World, which is briefly this: so stop
all purchase of silver by the government,
throw open the minis to free coinage of
all silver to be hereafter produced by
American mines, and guard against for
eign silver by the system OF notification
and inspection, similar to that devised
for guarding sugar bounties." The dis
patch also states that Speaker Crisp
fully decides to make Bland chairman of
The committee ON coinage, and that the
majority of the members of the COM
miItee will be advocates of free silver.

LONDON, Dec. l6.-The Times CORES
pendent in Paris sends his paper a COL
um dispatch glging the text of Chlle's
reply to President Harrison's message.
In commenting upon it he says: The
surprising character Of America, is the
violence of President Harrison's Mes
cage. 1t would be repugnant to Eu
ropean ideas, even il they only were IF
fected. However, IL America went to
war for sailors quarrel Europe might
witness a spectacle so singular that 1T
would relieve the monotony OF the pres
ent times. America having refused to
sign the treaty against privateering,
Chile will be entitled to equip her entire
mercantile marine. even II American
built vessels, as privateers. Happily
this mere hypothesis of President Har-
rison's ne MESSAGE Is merely rhetoric.
