WASHINGTON. July 2-The question as to
whether the FREQ Silver bill will PASS the
House was the ono important TOPIC discussed
ut tho Capitol to-day. The Senate having ad-
journcd over tho Fourth OF July. mud the House
having set apart the afternoon for the delivery
Of culogics upon tho death Of tho late Senator
Wilson OF Maryland. those members who arc
Interested in tho Silver bill had ample oppor-
tunity to confer without interruption. Messrs.
Tracey Of New York. Williams Of Massachu-
sotts. and Harter OF Ohio. who nre at the head
OF tho anti-silver Democrats, wero seen to-
gethcr frequently comparing notes as to tho
probable result, should tho fight for free all
YER be renewed. as 1t probably will be. in tho
House. Messrs Pierce Of Tennessee. Bartine
OF Nebraska. and other FREQ silver mon are
moro confident than ever that they can secure
majority Of Democrats to petition the Com
mttee on Rulos to bring in special rule un-
der which tho Senate bill may be considered.
Representative Bland OF Missouri. who is
now absent from the city. teegraphed to his
FREQ silver friends that no would DO In WASH
ington by next Tuesday to call meeting OF
tho Committee on Coinage. Weights. and
Measures with view to promptly consider
the Senate bill. The anti silver men In tho
House ore not SO confident OF preventing the
passage OF the bill now as they were before II
passed the Senate. although they have not
given up the fight. They believe that II is I'm
vrpHnpf n fprCa ha Silror hill INF ho
dental cam paign in view Of tho action taken
on that subject at Chicago. They believe with
Senator German that no good can como OF
standing In the way Of the party. He has nd.
vsed all winter TINT the silver question should
not be made On issue during the present Con-
gress. and it was because the party leaders at
Chicago decided upon a conservative course
with regard to silver that he voted against tho
bill yesterday
For the same reason tho anti-silvor men in
the House propose to resort to every means in
their power to prevent tho passage OF tho
Stewart Morgan bill. Representative Harter
says he does not believe the bill will pass the
House. but II 1t does, and tine President should
sign 1t. the FREQ coinage mon will discover that
they have passed bill for 81 free coinage which
does not permit free coinage" In other words.
no claims that the text Of tho bill passed by
the Senate yesterday docs not accomplish what
tho free silver men believe 1t provides for
First, It provides for the stoppaGe Of the
monthly purchase Of silver bullion and also
stops the issuance OF silver certificates. The
effect OF this is to stop the accumulation OF
silver month BY month: and NATURALLY force
the price OF silver down to below 81 cents per
ounce.
until the 10 rsople have had time to examine
the text Of Tho bill as 1t was voted upon finally
In tho Senate. 1t contains 80 many ridiculous
