Representative Bland, has not
strengthened the free coinage bill
by his attempt to prevent the House
Committee before which the bill
now is, and of which he is a demo
cratic member, hearing the delega-
lions of business men who have
come here at their own expense to
protest against the passage Of the
bill by the House. Fortunately,
the committee did not agree with
Mr.. Bland as to refusing hearings,
and it also refused to adopt mo-
ton Of his that the committee should
take a vote upon the bill next Wed
nesday. Among those heard by the
committee this week was a big dele
cation Of Boston business men,
headed by II. L. Higginson, who
told the committee that sinceth e
passage of the silver bill of last
year there had been g great and in

Of capitalists and small inves-

questions by the members Of the
committee who favor free coinage,
but he proved himself ready to ans

plication in the speculation they
would have had nothing to do with
the investigation.
The two members of the COM
mittee spoken of deny that any such
conversation ever took place between
them. This committee is being
subjected to great deal of harsh
criticism to which I don't think it
entitled. It is doing its best to
conscientiously perform a very dis
agreeable duty, and from all that
I have seen it is more deserving
commentator than condemnation.
Early in the week many Republi-
cans in the House were so mad over
the laying aside Of the Election bill
by the Senate that many dire threats
were made Of what would be done
to even up with the republican
cnno4o,.c who voted AGAINST the bill
Serenity again reigns supreme and
business is going on in both House
and Senate just as if no disturbing
elements had entered either of them,
and about the only effects Of the
threats will be the votes Of mum

will be cast against the free coin
