Mondny-Other Washington Topics.
WASHINGTON. March 2p-1t seems probable
after all. that the Silver bill IL not dead. but
only sleeping. There may yet be silver con.
test IN Congress. and It will probably take
place in tho Senate chamber on Monday next.
Senator Stewart OF Nevada Is equally as en-
thusiastic and determined n champion OF free
coinage rs Mr. Bland. and having formally an
nounced ut to-days session that he would call
UP his Free Silver bill on Monday. there Is no
doubt that he will do So The ant-silvcr men
In the Senate will do just rs those In the House
did. and oppose its consideration. Whether
| they will succeed In this attempt II is impossi-
BILE yet to say. although the chances are that
they will.
There Is getting to be very ugly feeling on
tho Silver bill in both Houses Of Congress.
The followers OF Mr.. Bland in tho House are
| not only respondent over their defeat. but
they are In desperate and belligerent mood.
and determined. IL possible. to have revenge.
The most conspicuous silver men in the
House persist in the statement that in the
collapse OF their plans yesterday they were the
| victims OF Speaker Crisp's duplicity. Mr..
Bland charges that tho Speaker promised that
the Committee on Rules would bring in
another special order. and says that
IL this had not been fact he
would not have allowed the House to
adjourn last Thursday night The Speaker
does not make an out-and-out denial Of this
charge. but says that having learned after tho
three days debate that there was II large con-
did not fool warranted in providing for its con-

Tho hone Of Mr.. Bland and his free silver
friends, now is to be able to pass tho Stewart
