WHAT WILL REED Dol
The question on which discussion is be-
coming heated is, as TO what Speaker Reed
Wilde, be- ause this answers the question as TO
what the House will do, since Mr.. Reed ia still
On hand for purposes Of obstruction IN the
House. Speaker Reed can smother the bill
il be will, but will he? The only political
reason why he should is that it will relieve
the President from the embarrassment OF
having to offend the eastern or western
wing Of his party By passing favorably or
uDfsvorably upon it. The Presidents alter
native would. it is thought, involve his re-
nomination, with the chances against him.
Whatever his decision might be, Speaker
Reed will, of course, oppose free coinage
bill, but 1t will take extraordinary arbitra-
rainess on his part to keepi from the Presi-
dent
REEDS PRESIDENTIAL BEE.
He is a presidential candidate himself,
and since the President preferred Secretary
Blaine's candidate for collector Of Portland,
has not been thought to be in love with Mr..
Harrison. But their relations are still sutti-
GENTLY friendly to permit the President to
tender, and the speaker to accept, an invita-
tion to dine at the white house, so that the
speaker may take magnanimously upon his
shoulders the responsibility which the Presi-
dent would rather not have just at this
time.
THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
(BR the associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The finance bill
was taken up in the Senate this noon, and
Ar. Stewart asked unanimous consent that
a vote should be taken on the bill and
amendments at o'clock Saturday.
Mr. German expressed his surprise at the
proposition. The amendment offered to
tne bill by the senator from Nevada Mr..
Stewartl had been described by the senator
from Ohio Mr. Sherman) as one of the
most revolutionary measures introduced in
congress- and that senator had said
that if the amendment was agreed to
the whole financial structure of the country
would probably be overturned. If the
senator from Ohio were correct in that
matter the senators ought to have time to
den0erate; time to ascertain what was
necessary TO be done. On the other hand,
Tue senator from Nevada (Mr. SteWart) had
sla'eu IN the most emphatic way that the
fec9mmendations of the senator from Ohio
70 the committee on finance were more de-
sFucnve to the interests of the people than
any proposition ever presented
II either Of those senator's were right-he
trusted they were both wrong-the Senate
ought to have time TO weigh and consider
!le 3I matter. There ought to be some time to
uen0erGte. There ought to be disposition
ou DOM sides OF the chamber to come
Vge'her and consider the matter calmly
auu CAREFULLY without regard to party.
STEWART STILL IN HURRY.
Mr.. Stewart realized the Importance of
MI dorman's suggestion, but thought that
Is the subject had been much discussed. the
