WASHINGTON LETTER.
IIargis,
From our Reguler Correspondent

the House next Monday, on the resolu'
ton reported from the Committee on
Rules setting aside March -, 23 and "A
for the consideration of the bill. How
will the House vote? That is the qucs-
ton of questions with both the silver and
anti-silver men, and there are several
reasons why it is difficult to answer it
definitely. First, no one knows how
many members will be absent that day.
1t is said that pressure is being brought
to bear upon those Democrats who are
known to favor free coinage, but who are
willing to have it postponed until after
the Presidential election, to get them to
be out of the city that day Second no
one knows what attitude the Republican
members will take on the resolution
There are n few of them committed to
free coinage, but at least eighty of them
are opposed To it, and ex.Speakcr Reed
Representative Burrows and other nhu-
entail members of their party are said
10 favor their not voting ut all. Repre-
sentative Bland says he has made II care
full canvas of the House, and that the
resolution will be passed whether the Re.
publcans vote against it or decline to
vote. If he be right, and, barring the
absentees, the chances are largely IN his
favor, the free coinage bill may be con
sidered AS having already passed the
House.
The serious illness of Representative
Springer necessitated change in the
plans of the Ways and Means Committee
concerning the three tariff bills reported
to the House early this week, and the
postponement of their consideration until
next week. The first bill To be called up
will be the one putting wool on the free
list, to be followed in due time by those
for free binding Irvine, free cotton ties
and cotton bagging.
Members of the labor organizations
who have long recognized the deplorable
of the Government Printing
Office building, within the walls of
which-mighty shaky walls they are,
too--some three thousand employees per.
form the labor incident to the larg, st
printing establishment in the world, are
beginning to ask why it is, if all the Sen
ators aud members of Congress favor il,
AS they all say they do, that Congress
does not provide for new building
As yet the question is very quietly asked,
but il il is not soon answered the tone
will grow louder and louder until it will
be heard in every section of this country
where there is IA branch of organized
labor. Talk has had the floor long enough
action is what is wanted
