further obstruction. As near as can be
learned to-day's action was taken by Mr..
Tracey on the impulse OF the moment and
more with the purpc7e of emphasizing the
opposition of himself and his adherents TO
the bill than from belief that the mani

In retarding consideration OF the bill.
MUST GO TO THE COINAGE COMMITTEES.
IL is now admitted by the anti-silver men
that the bill must ultimately go to the
coinage COMMITTEES, and it is their purpose
TO make strong fight there. For the rea-
son that the bill was not to-day referred to
the committee there will be no meeting be-
fore the House meets, for there will be
nothing before the committee for its action.
The silver men think that there will be no
loss of ground by this delay and it is ex.
trsmely doubtful In view of the number of
absentees whether they could secure the
presence OF voting quorum In the com
mittee tomorrow.
There has been some talk of postponing
from Thursday to Friday the order for sus-
pension day. 1t Is argued that the change
will insure the attendance of a larger num-
Der OF representatives. The sergeant-at-

A PLOT TO HURT CLEVELAND.
Special Dispatch to the Morning Ne,os
WASHINGTON. July 5.-If the promise
would be made by the republicans In the
House that every anti-free silver vote in
their party would be thrown against the
Senate bill, the fllibustering Of the friends
OF sound money would cease and the bill
would come to a vote at once. 1t would be
defeated, too. The sound money democrats
who are fighting from the vantage ground
OF the democratic platform just adopted
are ready to adopt that course, but they
can get no assurance from the republicans.
The evidences that there is big job under
this whole business seems to increase.
Why were Senators Sherman and Aldrich
Of the finance committee away when the
bill passed the Senate and why was Sena-
tor Hawley absent after he had asked about
the time when it was coming up9 And
why are the anti-Cleveland senator's 80
much pleased 20 think that they have, to
quote the remark reported to have been
made by one OF them, "given Grover Cleve-
land another dose" and why are the repub-
loan leaders 30 anxious 20 help out Mr..
Bland and his followers, as they were all
through the session of the House to-day
when the sound money men were

In the previous silver crisis said IL was too
serious matter TO play with, and must be
defeated at the skirmish line IL possible.
to-day said that he thought the bill would
pass and go to Mr.. Harrison and be vetoed.
The fight to-day, however. did not look as II
the bill would pass. The solid wall OF oppo-
sition against which the silver bill struck
to-day the moment Speaker Crisp put IL
over his desk made the free silver mea stop
and think. Meanwhile the sound money
democrats, from their impregnable party
standpoint Of agreement with their party
platform, are preaching party loyalty with
good results, as already some converts have
been made.
