BAD FOR SILVER.
4 Plan That Will Prevent the Passage of
the Bill Over a Veto.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Franeis G. New
lands resumed his statement before the
House Coinage Committee to-day in adYo-
cacy of the free coinage of silver. Newlands
and Representative Walker combated each
other on the assertion of the former that
the prices OF products always rose and fell
with the advance and decline III the price of
silver
Bartine and others wanted TO know how
long the examination would be kept up, and
another wrangle ensued. Williams of Hi
nois moved that the hearings close with to-
days session. Tracy of New York, as a
substitute, moved that the hearings cease at
II o'clock Friday, and he adopted the sug-
gestions OF the other members that a vote
should be taken ut l o'clock Friday on re-
porting the bill.
Williams said he would vote for the prop
osltlon OF Tracy under protest, because he
could not help himself. Bland made similar
statement, SO by unanimous consent it was
agreed the hearings should cease Friday
noon, and that vote on the bill should be
taken at l O'clock on that day.
Warner of Ohio called attention to the
charge that the advocates of free coinage
were not willing to be questioned, and
stated that he was willing to answer any in
qulrleS which might be made.
Walker asked If he were not the head of
the National Silver Executive Committee,
and when Warner responded in the affirma-
tive Walker inquired how much money had
been expended to promote silver legis lation.
NewlandS interrupted with the remark that
he had given statement of the expendi-
lures to the Silver Pool Investigating Com
mittee, and advised Warner not TO answer
the question.
Warner declined to give the amount, but
declared that So had been expended by the
gold pool and bank pool for every dollar
spent by the silver men. Warner declared
he represented no pool, and said he had been
advocating the cause of silver ever siuce he
had learned of its demonetizatiOn.
Walker several times pressed Warner as
to his knowledge of the existence of any
gold pool or bank pool. Warmers response
was III effect that he had no knowledge ex-
cept that which was in the public press.
IL the programme agreed upon to-day BY
the Coinage Committee TO govern its ac-
tion upon the Senate bill is carried out it
Will make it impossible to pass that bill a
second time if the President declines either
to approve or disapprove 1t. The.period Of

bill without returning it 10 Congress.

irish FINANCES.
a Dispute Between the Warning Factions as
TO Their Use

DUBLIN, Feb. 1S.-Twenty- thousand
dollars, the first installment of the Liberal
grant 10 the McCarthyites. has been depos-
tied in checks signed by Morley and Nc
Carthy.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-The financial dispute
between the opposing factions is likely to
be one Of the features of the coming Irish
struggle. When $4,000 was released from
the League Fund month ago $3.50 went
TO the Campaign Committee and $4,000 to
the Tenants Defense League. The Nc
CarthyiteS say the latter sum was too much,
and furthermore contend that instead of
being devoted to the evicted tenants 1t was
used to meet an oYerdraft on the Hibernian
Bank.
I. P. Gill declares that Mccarthy must
have known when he signed the release
that the fund set apart for evicted tenants
was heavily overdrawn. Mccarthy asserts,
on the contrary. that he left Boulogne be-
lieving tile money was TO be devoted to
eYlcted tenants only. The question arises
whether there was r misconception at the
conference, or whether 0'Bren thought he
was acting within the lines of the agree
ment IN adjusting the bank account. The
McCarthyites insisted on the declaration
that the fund was to be used for the tenants
In an interview Justin Mccarthy denies
the story Of the Liberal subsidy of 10000
for his party.

west coast of Ireland, reports the inhabi-
tants OF that coast badly in need of seed
