In fact the strupple h.s already begun The contest is as - conducted in a very quiet manner. ana is merely a matter of argument as ,o whether or not party policy requirss the silver bill to precede or to follow one or more of the tariff bills.
 The silver men have urged throush Chairman Bland and others that tbs way to prevent the silver question from being made unduly prominent is ,o take it up and pass it promptly. Win the silver bill out of the way publi. attention would be concentrated ., the tariff bills, and by keeping thai question before the public steadily ts prominence would be much greater than if the silver bill were sandwichea in between .hem. In this view they ara supported by a very considerable nun.

WILL BE NO CONFLICT.
UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY
 COMMITTEE ON RULES
Tho Free Coinage Measure to Have an Equal show-The Boring Sea Treaty to Go to the Senate Next Week. Gossip.

WASHINGTON. Feb. is.-The free coinage men are masters of the situa- ton in the House. A full understand ing has been reached with the Com mittes on Rules by which it is intended to prevent any conflict between silver and tariff legislation. A conference
 was held this morning between the leading free silver men and Speaker Crisp's advisers. This was done in or der that the Speaker might know just what was expected of the Commit tee on Rules. Mir. Bland and his free coinage colleagues, having shown that a majority of the House Democrats want the Bland bill considered at an carly day, will not press the speaker in
 way to enbarrass their party. They have been given positive assurance that
 the special order they ask will be
 gra~ted without unnecessary delay
 The only question is as to the time
 It was not definitely settled whether
 the tariff or free coinage bill should es
 first considered. Mir. Bland's follow
 CTS, however. have pointed out To the speaker that it will probably be best
 for the party if free coinage is gotten
 rid of first. None of then intend
 to antagonize tariff legislation The
 Free Coinage bill cannot, like the sars@
 measure. be called upa at any time wlsa-
 oui special order. But the Ways and Means committee will not seek con
 fiict with the silver people by pressing
 the free wool or the other bills to the exclusion of the Bland Free Coinage
 bill If the Speaker and his advisers think that one of the tariff bill should
 be taken up they will at the same time agree on the date for the special silver order. so that the Bland faction may be satisfied. The probability now is that the Democratic leaders will con clude to get silver out of the way soon
 But this decision is subject to change. Mir. Bartine of Nevada was asked
 how many Republicans would support
 free silver bill. He thought that ter
 Republicans will vote for free coinage
