of freight brakemen on the San Joa- quin division has ended and that trains were moving.
 is here, ready to take hold of the big end Of the sil- yer fight. He believes the Stewart bill will have to be amended in order 10 rreven, its being practical repudia- ton of the silver certificates now out standing. A meeting of the commit tee on coinage, weights and measures will be called for Wednesday to con- slider the silver bill, and a speedy re- port is expected.
 To a Star reporter Bland said, although he has not talked with the members of the committee or senators interested in silver, nor yet investi- i gated the subject, but looking the bill over he feared it would have to be amended, as it appeared to him that by repeating the act of 1890 the bill deprived eighty-odd million silver certificates of their legal tender quail ity. This, he said. would ad Unit of veto by the president without reference to the question of silver coinage. I WAsHINGToy-Representative Har- ter, (Democrat) of Ohio said: It is a most bungling measure which has passed a legislative body. Should it become a law, the most ardent of sil- yer men would soon begin to upraid its framers. First. it provides for the stoppage of the monthly purchases of silver, it also stops the issue of sii- yer certificates. This ends the accu- mutation of silver month by month and puts a period to the vicious in crease of silver certificates. Observe it absolutely closes the monthly mar ket for silver bullion, and is likely to cause the price to drop away below SS cents per ounce. So far. you see the free silver people have killed the goose which laid the golden Cor silver) egg, If their bill should ever become law, the curses from the mining camps would be loud and deep. WAsHISGToN-One senator who voted for the bill without examining it, said last night to a correspondent of the Times, that ho believed ser ious mistake had been made. "The bill' he said "provides that the un- coined bullion in the IT =asuIy must be coined. Taking the amount on hand and the capacity Of the hints into consideration, figure that over three years would elapse. before any bullion not yet delivered, could be handled by ths government. The man who drew up the substitute, which was accepted, evidently did not think of this.
 NEW YoRK-The Times Washing ton special says:
 Some of the free silver men are be- | ginning to wonder whether the free coinage measure which the senate passed on Friday would really ac- complish what they have been aim- ing to bring about, if it should become law. Apparently very few of them know that previous to Friday Senator Stewart, proposed to offer substitute for his original measure. Most of them seem to have been ignorant of the provisions of the new bill. Now that the bill is in cold type, the impression is growing that should 1t finally be- come law, the free silver men would soon realize that they had been led in- to a ridiculous position.
 WAsHINGToN-R Representative Pierce has introduced resolution providing that on day to be agreed on it shal be in order to move suspension of the rules to pass public measures which were previously discussed, aud that majority vote shall be sufficient. IL is probable that such rule will be reported from the committee on rules
