WASHINGTON. Aug. lO.-Up to this morn
ing little had been done toward repeating
the Sherman law, but much is expected to-
day. Both houses are in session.
The silver question has been given by the
Democratic senator's into the hands OF a
committee. There was a long and visor-
Gus discussion whether the appointment OF
a special committee would no; appear a
reflection upon the finance committee. The
members OF the latter committee insisted
that they should have jurj~dictiou Of the
subject. There was a general sentiment
on the other hand in favor Of placing the
matter i'll thu hands Of a special committee.
and that idea finally prevailed.
The discussion Developed a decided Op-
position to the unconditional repeal OF the
sherman law, and large majority those
present insisted that the pledges Of the
party's national platform should he car
ricd out. BtmejaIl!~m WAS generally al
vocated a. against the unconditional re-
peal.
There was a disposition to dea. promptly
with the subject ON that basis, and Senator
German WAS authorized to name the COM
mittee to conduct negotiations for COM
promise on tho general question. The
committee consists Of Senators German,
