as to Prevent Dilatory
Motions.

WASHINGTON, March 26-The men OF
the two sides on the silver question are
getting hot and chafed. This is partic-
ularly true of the silver men. who con-
fdentlv counted on victory and are in
a rage over thei- defeat. Absentees,
whether paired or not are gaining a
great deal Of uncomplinentary men
ton. Representatives Tim Campbell
and Stahlnecke-, Tammaay men of
New York city, were both away and
gained a world OF abuse from anti
silver men whose side could have sue
ceeded If these two gold votes had been
here. Campbell is 10Y here Indignant
that his name was taken in vain.
II was sick" he said. My system
is full Of insomnia"
StahInecker, it is said, will be here
TUESDAY, when q vote is looked for.
Dockery, who was to have taken his
worlds fair investigating committee to
Chicago yesterday, will not go until
the silver fight is ended. Silver gains
one vote by Dockery's course. as the
committee stands three for silver and
two against
Senator Teller expects silver to be
defeated, but declines to be inter.
viewed. Bland regards the chances OF
passing his bill as very shadowy.
If Mr.. Catchings, of MISSISSIPPI re-
turns to Washington in time a specla!
order may be brought il the house
| Monday for the immediate considera'
tim of the Bland silver bill and pend
ing amendments
Mr.. Bland, during the afternoon,
disclosed his plan by the introduction
OF a resolution fixing March IS as the
date on which the bill for the free
coinage of silver and pending amend
ments shall be taken up and put upon
its passage. Accompanying the reso
luton is a provision giving the speaker
power to refuse to entertain any
dilatorv motion. The resolution went
to the committee on rules
Such an order as this reported by
the committee on rules and adopted by
the house. would, of course, efectu
ally su ppress the fllibusters and make
them powerless to prevent the final vote
at the hour designated. As the rules o.
the present house are peculiar IN con
tanning a further provision thai a re
port from the committee or rules Is II
order at all times and the speaker car
refuse to entertain dilatory motion:
during its consideration, the opposition
is equally powerless tn prevent the
adoption of such an order when report
ed by the committee on rules
In view, therefore, of the inevitable
programme, the anti-free coinage mel
are preparing to appear before tat
committee on rules at the proper tin'
and insist that Il the silver bill is to b'
taken from the calendar OF unfinished
business to which it has gone and forced
