AS TO FREE COINAGE,

New YORK, Dec. GA morning pa
per (Republican) states that, on the re-
spOnsibility Of the Republican United
States senate, it is able to announce
that bill providing for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver cannot poss
the Firty-second congress over the veto
OF President Harrison. The paper af-
firms that it has made poll of the en-
tire congress, and the result announced
above is based on replies in writing
from 2S0 members Of the United States
senate and house of representatives,
which meet tomorrow. The poll
has occupied several weeks time.
The result indicates that since
the last congress adjourned there
has been no abatement of the free
silver sentiment at the West and South,
and Democrats and Republicans in the
silver states are stated to be, with few
exceptions, bent to the doctrine, but
that an overwhelming majority of the
Republican party in congress is pledged
to mainta in the single gold standard at
all hazards, and limit the output of sill
yer. In the last congress 1O1 Demo
cratic representatives in the house voted
in favor of the bill. The new congress,
which meets tomorrow, has in the house
236 Democrats, 81 Republicans and
8 Farmers Alliance. Of the
PA Democrats and Farmers AL
lance members 1G2 are in
favor OF free coinage bill. The ma
jority is so large that the presidents
veto will be no obstacle TO any bill
which the house desires really to be-
come law; for the Democrats, without
the Farmers Alliance, have more than
the two-thirds vote necessary to pass a
bill over the executive veto. The sem
ate is Republican 10y a majority of nine,
not large enough to prevent the first
passage of a fTee-cOinage or new
tariff bill, but large enough 10 make
certain the defeat of any bill
vetoed by the executive. The paper
gives the result OF its canvass of
the senate by individual members be-
cause the disposition Of a free coinage
bill must finally depend upon that body.
Of the house of representatives table
is given showing how Democrats and
Republicans are now disposed to vote.
A few of the interesting opinions of
senators and representatives. are also
given. Most of the replies were either
"Yes" or No" and the results appear
in table. A summary. however, sets
forth the result of the canvass said to
have been made.

that the management would not

Last night again the attendance
was very slim, and there was but little

Breaking While Trotting.

When horse breaks nowadays it
means that he loses by the break, for
the most noted skip-jacks that now dis
grace the turf cannot break when going
at twenty clip and get back to tr0t
without loss. The champion records
are all made at one gait, and even Sen
ator Conkling can 90 faster mile after
he gets tired enough to trot all the way.
On the other hand, losing break may
rest horse enough to enable him to
finish more gamely than if he had stayed
on his gait. So it is not always true, as
it is often said of horse, that were IT
not for break he would have finished
in better time.
