SILVER MEN sULKY.
They Will Compel the Repeal Men to
Force Them Into Submission.

~ @AA~eAA @AAsC - ASAAb4AAASnACAAs
Washington, Oct 3l.-The silver men,
or the most intense silver men in the
House, it is said, insist that the
repeal bill be put through by force
and without any agreement on their part,
as to the time when the debate shall end
or anything else. They say they mean to
be forced into submission
The mode of procedure in the House to-
morrow will probably be that as
soon as the speaker lays the bill
before the House, Mr.. Wilson. of
West Virginia, will move that the House
concur in the Senate amendments, and
upon that he will demand the previous
question. Then some one will suggest
that time be given for debate. Mir viii
son will ask how much time is desired,
ana Will endeavor to get an agreement.
cILvER MEN NOT TO AGREE TO ANYTHING.
The silver men, if they do not change
their minds, will not agree on anything.
Mr.. Wilson will then insist upon the pre-
vious question. Then the filibustering
Will begin. IL is doubtful how much
strength the silver men will show. A
number OF those who have already
voted for free coinage and will vote
against concurring in the Senate amend
ment will not Join the filibusters. But
thcrels little doubt that the silver men will
have sufficient strength to call the yeas
and nays, and that win force the commit
tee on rules to report a closure resolution.
mis- Will be done il hlibustering is begun.
WORRIED ABOUT QUORUM.
The repealers have been worried all the
time about quorum, and to-day could
count but l65 members in the city who
voted against all the amendments wien
the bill was pending in the House before
1t went over to the Senate. If all the
other members, about 1870, who are here,
and who supported silver in some form
or other, should refuse to vote on
various motions, it would leave the
House without a quorum. But it is un-
derstood that they will not do this It is
understood that Mr.. Bland weakened his
case very much when he objected to Mr.
Livingston's motion TO take up and con-
slider the bill until tomorrow night, vixen
vote should be taken.
MIR. Bland wants an opportunity to
vote onaaufree coinage proposition, and IL
the rules will give him the privilege he
Will offer as an amendment to the repeal
bill the coinage act of 1897.
NO COMPROMISE FOR BLAND.
81 have done with all compromises" ," he
said to an Associated Press reporter,
"and want nothing but free coinage /
will not offer the Bland-Allison law even
If am given an opportunity. Free coin
age or nothing"
Mr. Bland win be given an opportunity
TO move to commit the bill TO his commit
tee on coinage, weights and measures, as
such a motion Is privileged under the
rules.
The clause in the Voorhees, bill which de-
clares the intention of this government to
maintain the parity Of all money
and in favor Of bi-metallic coinage gives
the coinage committee the right to the
bill, should it be referred to committee,
and subsequently Mr. Bland has the priv
ilege of making such motion 1t would,
of couse be voted down. 1t is probable
that the rules committee will fix the time
for voting on the billl at some time tomor-
row evening, perhaps about O'Clock
