the silver resolution. He has, of course.
abandoned all hope Of anything being done
at this session. but says that another at
tempt will be made next winter to pass the
bill, and. when asked If he attributed the
defeat of free coinage 10 Cleveland's inter-

and worse sinister Influences at work, be-

Bland Is Very DoIefuI.
When asked for his views as to the result
OF the contest on the Democratic party
Bland. the acknowledged free-silver cham
plon In the House, said: II have only one
reply TO make. Ever since | have been in
Congress We have had the same trouble as
now in dealing with all these public ques-
tons. The Democratic party has always
been threatened with sectionalism, the force
bill and military rule in the South il they
voted against certain measures which the
money powers were fighting. The Repub-
lican party continually forces as an issue
before the penple military rule in the South,
sectonalism and tile force bill. Until this
is stopped | see no hope of any general legis-
lation In the interests of the people,"
Senators Chagrined.
In the Senate the free-silvsr Republicans
were evidently chagrined, though they
hardly expected the bill would pass The
Democratic Senators are not surprised at
the vote against the bill, while the Republi-
can silver Senators maintain that the action
Of the House does not by any means mean
the death of the bill finally, Senator Stewart
being particularly sanguine in his belief
that the measure will again be brought to
the front at the next session of Congress,
even going so far as to say that lie thought
that II Congress were In session two months
longer the bill would pass both Houses
owing TO the revolt IN feeling.
1t is quite certain, however. that the bill
VIII not In any form come up in the Senate
again this session, as every one is convinced
That II is now too late TO attempt any fur
ther silver legislation.
Senator WoIcott regarded the defeat of
the bill as due 10 the main to pressure
brought TO bear against it by Republican
and Democratic candidates for the Presi-
dency and the inopportune time selected for
its passage.
Senator Teller believed that there was a
clear majority in the House IN favor of free
silver under favorable conditions, but the
time was lnopportuue for pressing the ques-
ton TO vote.
VIII BE Evaded.
The Senate's amendment prohibiting the
retail sale of liquor on the Worlds Fair
grounds will not in any way interfere with
'CalifOrnia's exhibit of wines, according to
Senator FELTON,. who voted for the amend
ment The CalifOEnians NAV also whole
sale wine from the grounds without yiolat-
ing the provision OF the law. LIQUOR in
small quantities mny be sold for medicinal
purposes" and ii is believed that this will
offer ample opportunities for the successful
evasion OF the law, and no penalty is pro-
Ylced for its violation.
