Ills Devise to Secure speedy Action OF
the eiiNnr nm

the silver hin.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The complicated
state Of affairs on the senate silver bill in
the house committee on coinage, weights
and measures has caused Senator Stewart
20 resort to a device sometimes practiced
IN congress to secure speedy action on .
bill He has come 70 the conclusion
that the fate Of the silver bill is jeopartlized
sa the house coinage committee, and in
order to prevent unfavorable action on it,,
he has made movement TO take it out OF
the hands OF that committee by submit
ting the silver bill rs an amendment in
tended Is be proposed to the pension mp
propriatioa bill
The amendment was referred to the ap-
propriHions committee, and whether the
committee agrees TO report it favorably OF
not, Mr.. Stewart can call it up in the sen
ate while the pension bill is under discus
sion. II it should be passed by the senate
tapd there IS every reason to believe it will
be) the amendment, as part Of the pension
bill, VIII be sent to the house and there it
can be called up and voted on as a part OF
the pension bill Jurisdiction over the bill
can IN this way be taken from the coinage
committed
The house committee on coinage, weights
and measures continued its hearing on the
senate silver bill Mr.. Carter presented
and read letter from William Il St John,
a banker OF New York, urging the passage
of the bill Francis q. Newlands, vice
chairman of the national silver committee,
spoke IN support of the bill England, he
said, in 1916 had established gold stand
ard, and Of all nations the United States
was the only one to follow.
Mr.. Newlands spoke Of the predicted
overflow Of this country with silver coin
from other countries should free coinage
bill be passed, and he argiied that such
would not be the case In this connection
he gave the amount OF silver held by the
different countries, and said that most OF
them were dependent upon the subsidiary
coins, and the mass of the people would
not consent TO part with them and the
condition of the countries would not per.
init the sole use Of gold The gold output,
he said. was insufficient TO supply money
for the world, as was demonstrated by the
failure Of Barring Brothers, who were
called upon by Russia for -, 100000 of gold
and were unable to meet the demand, as
was the Bank of England. France came
to the rescue and supplied the gold, being
backed with q surplus of silver, which con
stitutcd the greater part Of her money.

There was murmur OF dlsapproval

around the room.
