MORE TALK ON SILVER.
At Two Tomorrow Bland Will Move
the Previous Question.
THEN THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS.
Another Big Crowd Watches the House
Proceedings- Bankers Flock to WASH
ington To Protest Against Democratic
Coinage Lunacy.
ESPECIAL TO THE SEws.l

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 23.-The
anti-silyer Democrats have practically
settled upon their plan of operations,
which will be adhered to unless some
thing unexpected should turn up. The
plan is TO allow the debate TO run on until
the end of its allotted time, but when
Bland moves for the previous question the
anti-silver forces will begin to filibuster to
prevent a vote being taken before the time
limit arrives.
Mr.. Bland will move the previous ques-
tion tomorrow, and this will be the signal
for motions 10 submit any number Of sub
stitute propositions, and the time will be
taken up in debate over these motions.
III this scheme works successfully, the
time will expire before anything can be
done in the way Of vote, and the bill
will 90 back To the calendar.
In the event of the success of this plan
the silver men have assurances that the
committee on rules will report another
resolution, fixing another special order
with provision for the immediation or
dering of the previous question. This will
force vote with no possibility of filibus-
tering.
In conversation with number of promi-
nent Republican Congressman this morn
ing IL was learned that the Republican
leaders are opposed TO. any fusion with
the Democratic opponents in their plan To
gain tlme,by tilibustering against vote
on the bill.

IL is still an open question what actiou
the Senate will take regarding the arbi-

This was 10 show that the proceedings OF
the Mayor were not contrary TO usage or
