THE SILVER FIGHT.
1t Will Rage for Three Days
of This Week.
PROSPECT OF A VERY WARM TIME.

Units Decline to Pledge Themselves Not
to Filibuster, but Are Apprehensive of
the Speaker-Lord Salisbury Replies
mo" to the Modus Niyendi Proposal
An Immense Array of Figures for the
Senate Subcommittee on Tariff to
wrestIe with-Notes from the Capital.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-This week will
probably be the most exciting of the pre- s.
ent session of congress, so far as the house
is concerned, as tomorrow the silver de.
bate will begin and continue Wednes-
day and Thursday. On these days the
house will meet ut II o'clock, with recess
from until and adjourn at 10 p m,
unless change in the programme occurs.
A vote is expected Thursday.
That Arrangement Is "Off."
In the foregoing it is stated that there
will be only three days debate on the bill,
when last week five or six days were ex-
pected. But it is understood now that the
arrangement between the silver and anti
silver wings of the Democracy by which
IN return for promise OF the anti-silver
men not to filibuster against the Bland
bill the time was extended from three to
five days, is off. Harter was willing to
make the promise, but Tracey and Will.
Jams, who are in charge of the Democratic
opposition to the bill, refused thus to be
bound. The time is to be divided among
the parties so that the anti-silver Demo.
Gratis and Republicans will have half be-
tween them. Abner Taylor of Illinois has
charge of the time for the Republicans,
Tracey for the anti-silver Democrats and
Bland for the silver men.
Speaking OF the probabilities of the sit
uation Tracey yesterday said:
We don't know how the speaker is going to
rule. Speaker Crisp's rulings have been so ar
bitrary and so unprecedented that we can not
predict what he will do. He decides n point
and refuses 10 give his reasons. When he de-
cines to consider a motion of consideration or
lay on the table lie is liable to refuse anything.
He may not let US offer amendments to the
bill If he allows the previous question we are
cut off, but if the bill i read by sections we
have right to offer amendments. At any
rate, we have the right to offer two amend
ments, a substitute and an amendment to the
substitute.
Plan of the Anti Silver Men.
Our plan is to offer as u substitute my bill
calling for an international monetary con.
gress, and l think the Republicans will vote
solidly with Us for that. The silver men are
afraid they cannot get their men together al
the end of three days. II we can prevent Il
vote being taken in these three days, then the
silver men have lost their right OF way and The
bill goes back to its old place. or another rule
will have to be brought in by the rules com.
mittee compelling a vote.

What is lacking is truth
and confidence.
If there were absolute truth
on the one hand and absolute
confidence on the other, it
wouldn't be necessary for the
makers of DR.. Sage's Catarrh

statement of fact by a $500
guarantee.
They say" If we can't
cure yen (make it personal,

say.

people prefer sickness to

absolute.
