From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July There Is a Temporary
cessation Of hostlitles between the silver and
tho anii-rilyor forces In tho House. Tho "antis" 7"
permitted the Stewart bill 20 be referred 70 the
Coinage Committee to-day. Each side will ress
quietly until tho bill comos back. One reason
assigned for tho Submission OF the "antis' Is
that they have had a count Of nosos and are con-
Gdont oi votes enough TO defeat the measure
whenever Bn attempt Ia made 20 put u upon
its passage. On tue other hand. this "a
denied and she statement Is freely made that
General Tracey and his followers had 70 auit the
fght. because they would have been whipped

wonid not ioin in the nlibustsring and IL - un-
derstood to be their purpose to keep hands on
when the 1ght is renewed and let the Democrats
fight II out, but on square vote on the passage
Of the bill most OF the Republicans Will recofu
themselves against II.
When the last struggle occurred IN the House
tho vote was pretty evenly divided. There wore,
however, some free-coinAss advocates absent

for the reason that they seriously believe that TO
pass tho bill in the iace of the Chicago platform
you'd damage the interests of the national
Democratic ticket. Other members from these
states are confident, however, that not TO pass
tho bin will be an advantageous thing 50 tar as
Virginia and North Carolina are concerned.
