Stewart VIII Call Up His Silver Bill.

| WASHINGTON, March 29-Notice given
in the Senate this afternoon by Stewart
of his intention to call up his free silver
coinage bill Monday, created a sensation
notwithstanding the fact that it was ex-
pected, in view of the set back of the
Bland bill received in the House that the
struggle must sooner or later be Trans
ferred to the Senate. So far as can be
learned, Stewart acted on his own re-
sponsibility in precipitatng the issue.
II IS said by some silver men Speaker
Crisp urged them to pass the silver
bill in the Senate, then let it come over 10
the House, when it would be in posit on
much more favorable for action than If il
came before the House in The shape of ali
original report from the coinage committee.
some Republican silver Senators are un-
able to see the force of this reasoning fear
ing the speaker is playing or any party ad-
vantage which might be expected TO follow
the passage Of d silver bill by Republican
Senate even By The lnstrumentallty OF
Democratic votes. The Democratic 5sua-
tors as yet are undecided a8 to the attitude
they shall assume hen the bill is cal ed m
by Stewart. Carlisle remarked the out
come of an effort 10 pass the bill would be
extremely doubtful. 1his view appeared
to pe generally entertained on this slae of
the cham Der. l. is probable there will be
a general consultation among Democratic
Senators before Monday with the purpose
of reaching an agreement upon a united
line OF action. On the Republican side the
opinion is the bull will net
pass. Hansbrough, of South Dakota,
who has been included in all estimates in
the ranks OF the silver men, SAID very
frankly this afternoon he would oppose
with his vote any effort TO pass u pure free
coinage bill, and believed not ten Republi-
can Senators who woula vote FOR SUCH a
bill. He called attention to the fact that
Perkins, the successor of Plumb in the
Senate, is an anti-free coinage man aud felt
confident even with the full strength
which the Democratic silver Senators had
shown in the last struggle the bill would
not have more than one majority. Asa
matter of fact he believed the Democrats
were divided on the question and he ex-
pected when it came to test vote many of
them who formerl, voted for the Vest bill
would vote against the Stewart bill.
Stewart himself is not very sanguine OF
tue success of his bill. He says, however.
the country is entitled TO know exactly
how the Senators stand on the silver cues

record if ne can

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.l
New YORK, March 20-An Ereni..g Tel
egrdm special from Washington says: No
body need be surprised to hear II if Sena-
tor Hill should, within the next month. de-
clare that he is net q candidate for the
presidency His most intimate friends
here now admit openly that he is practically
out of the race. Senators vino claimed
couple of weeks ago that Hill would GER
tainly be nominated, admit they were badly
mistaken. A number of them expressed
the opinion to Senator Hill Just before his
departure for New York that ne had bet
ter withdraw and throw his influence to
either western candidate, or to Senator
German or Governor Flower. l hear that
on one occasion when this suggestion was
made to him he became very angry. There
will be only two serious candidates before
the Chicago convention-myself and Mr..
Cleveland" Senator Hill replied. "You
will have to choose between US. The talk
of any one else at this late day is absurd"
This remark has alarmed the Hill follow
ing. The majority Of those composing it
did rot favor Hill so much on personal
grounds as on account Of desire to defeat
Cleveland. They begin to suspect that,

There are many reasons why ne
should favor Cleveland. If Clevelond
was defeated Hill would be the strong man
OF his party and the people might be apt TO
think that Hill could have peen elected.
II Cleveland is elected, Hill would be in
position to claim q large share of the cradit
for the success of tue party. Cleveland
would be out of the way in four years and
Hill would again be q candidate. Still
Flower continues to be talked of more and
more every day, seeing that the New York
Senator will not be nominated, the Hill
following know that they could expect
nothing from Cleveland, and they are
anxious to get another strong man into
the race. They think Flower is the man,

tent of the damage is rot known. 1t is said
two persons were injured. The police are

proach. Two arrests have been made. it
is believed the damage is comparatively
light.
The directors of the Paris custom house
have received notice that the Anarchists

muzzle turned toward the light
ship and prepared to load. No
part of the gun could be seen
from the beach in front Of the parapet. but
the moment the loading was completed, the
machinery was set to work, and in an
instant, tho big gun, weighing 81, GOO

elevation for firing, eight feet from the
load position. The gun was worked with
an electric primer, and the recoil was
easy. The time elapsing from the comple-
