wait to make the fight in the com mittee, but have already began to ob- struct the bill by striving to have it referred to the various committees supposed to be hostile to the measure. They have not been able as yet to get assurances of support from the Re- publicans and are extremely anxious as to the outcome with the aid of the republicans in refusal to vote The quorum could probably be broken and the action upon the bill be in definitely postponed, but the Repabii- ;cans maintain entire reserve and are not giving any comfort to anti-silver Democrats.
 wAsHINGToN-Th The republicans are resting easily. There has been no conference among them, but many of them say this morning that in the absence of any programme, they shall vote against the bill, so as to go on | record. and will not assist in any ob- struction movement. An amendment of the bill by the house is not likely to be so serious in its effects upon the passage of this measure as has been generally supposed if the present pro. gramme of the silver men is carried out. They intend 10 pass the bill and an amendment of the latter, ii found to be necessary, and send it back to the senate with the request for a con- ference, by SC doing they will avoid the danger Of having the bill smoth- cred in the finance committee, which is constituted with majority adverse | to free silver coinage. The senate has refused to accede to such a request and the presumption is that there will be bu; one test vote upon the adoption of the motion to accede to the request of the house, and as a conference re- port the bill would be so privileged a; to be sure ofspeedy action.

For this reason the bill was not today referred to th' committee. There will be no meet ing before the house meets, for there will be nothing before the committe, for it's actions. The silver men think there will be no loss incurred by the delay, as it is extremely doubtful, 1T 1 view of tine number of absentees whether they could secure the pres ence of voting quorum in the com mittee to make it.
 WAsHISGToN-Ther is now pend ing before the rules committee, a res olution introduced by Representative Pierce. setting apart day Cleft ir
