 WAsBINGToN - Among tine many congrstulatory letters which Secre- tarp of State Foster has received since his appointment is one from ex-Sec- retary Blaine saying: Fl am very glad you have been appointed You will be able to do better service than any man new to the department" | WAsHINGToS-The week in tie house will be, in political sense cloudy with silver lining. The com mittee on rules will bring in tomorrow d resolution designating that day and the "next legislative day" if Wednes- Jay Is insufficient, be devoted 10 con- sideration of the free coinage bill. Fll- clustering motions viii not be in order and an opportunity will therefore be offered at the very outset 10 test the relative strength of the seconds and opponents of the silver bill by voting upon the resolution providing for its consideration by the house. A ma iority vote against the resolution, it is openly stated will be accepted by the advocates of free coinage as the abso- lute defeat of the measure for the session, but they express confidence that an adverse majority cannot be and must not be mustered on the question of consideration.

 HoMEsTEAD-The intense strain of excitement to which tie strikers have been subjected the past week is be- ginning to tell on the men. Anxiety has reached such tension that re- beWed hostlltles would be a positive relief.
 There is nc doubt of the settled con victlon among the strikers that an other battle is inevitable. At least a dozen telegrams were received statiug that Plnkertons are mobilizins in de tachments preparatory to moving on the city, and the leaders have conclud- ed that the decisive struggle is not far distant.
