THE BILL BEATEN.
BY the Houses Action Free Coinage Is
Killed.

Killed.
The action of the house today in sus-
tanning the decision of the chair Mr.. Pay
som, by which Mr.. BANDS free coinage
amendment to the sundry civil bill was
ruled out of order, is thought by many TO
mean that no free coinage bill can pass
this congress. There were probably some
republicans who voted to sustain the de-
cision OF the chair-whO. himself, is a sill
yer man-bccause they believed that the
decision was in accordance with the rules.
A direct vote on a free coinage bill might
result differently. but il is not clear how n
direct vote on such bill can be had dur
ing this congress.
The majority Of the coinage committee
have decided that it needs more infOrma-
ton TO be acquired through hearings be-
fore it can vote intelligently on the re-
porting of any silver bill, and the vote to-
day will probably strengthen the majority
in its position.
The silver men have given up all hope Of
getting any sort OF report from the COM
mittee. Today Mr.. Bland and Mr.. Bar
tine lett the committee, refusing to take
any further part in the proceedings, since
1t was evident to them that 1t was not the
purpose of the committee that anything
should be done. In doing this they placed
all their faith in their ability 10 force the
issue before the house by attaching the
provision for free coinage to an appropria-
ton bill. To do this il was necessary, as
they all appreciated, to override the de-
cision OF the chair, which necessarily
would be in accordance with the rules
Todays vote was a test of their strength
on this sort of q motion and the result
makes il evident that no attempt TO at
tach free silver 10 an appropriation bill
in the house can carry.
The leaders of the republicans do not
propose TO let free coinage bill go TO the
president as a rider on an appropriation
If they can help it, as this would make
his position particularly embarrassing
and would probably result in the failure
OF an appropriation bill. making an extra
session necessary. 1t Is asserted, with n
positiveness which indicates knowledge,
that the president has made up his mind
that he will veto any bill which carries
free coinage, even il il should be one Of
the regular appropriation bills.
A Democratic Caucus
A call has been issued for a caucus To-
morrow evening of the democratic men,
bers of the house. The request for the
caucus was signed by about twenty dem
Ocrats, headed by Messrs. Bland and En-
lOe. The call does not state the object for
which the caucus il called, but it is under
stood that the silver question will be the
principal matter discussed and that there
will be general interchange OF views on
the procedure for the remainder of the
session.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 6.-About three
weeks ago three strangers opened an Office
in Minneapolis and displayed maps and
gushing newspaper notices describing
vast tracts of valuable government land in
Oregon and Washington. The men repre-
scented themselves as agents OF cor
poration which desired TO acquire
as much of the land as possible,
and their business was TO secure
men who would pre-empt claims. If an
applicant would advance $50 and good
references they would forward his appli-
cation. When il was returned the appli-
cant would be furnished railroad trans
pOrtation to the point where he was TO
locate a claim. He would be furnished
with 800 for expenses in proving up and
the TT. Blakely company of Fl. Blakely,
Ore, would buy the land from him for
$500. The Office has been crowded with
people the last two weeks and large
number advanced the S25. Last night
the men were arrested and gave their
names as Charles Reed of Seattle and
George Williams and William Davis Of
