several who as last resort only will vote
for unconditional repeal. Some of them
would much prefer to have the bill
amended, but should they fail in this they
are said to be prepared to vote for uncon-
ditiona repeal. One of the amendmert cts
proposed provides for the coinage of bull
lion now in the treasury and the issuance
Of silver certificates therefor. Another
viii provide for the purchase of $500. .OOO.-
600 or S300.000000 in silver, at the discre-
tion of lhe Secretary Of the Treasury, for
coinage purposes. BY the coinage of the
bullion now on hand and the purchase of
additional silver, the silver coinage Of the
United States would be between 500, ,OOO-
600 and $500. 900. 600. It is now nearly
S60u. 100000. When $500, 900, 900 shall have
been reached, the coinage of silver is to
ce .as

g -as 10 be the model many Senators
" e disposed to follow. The old Bland
'lisoR act will also be introduced as an
a. Ssendment and there will be about the
same amendments as were introduced in
the House for an increase in the ratio.
It is stated that the administration men
are counting on Vice-President Stevenson
to put an end to filibustering in the Senate
after it has proceeded for a time. While
there is no cloture rule i'll the Senate, the
presiding officer can decline to recognize a
Senator who wishes to speak for the clear
purpose of delaying.
1t is said Stevenson will permit silver
speeches to run along for time until their
purpose, being dilatory. becomes evident.
At such time. it is said, the Vice President
will fail to give continued recognition to
the silver men, but will recognize Voor-
hees in motion to take final vote.
This would bring the contest to an alb
rupt termination. Senator Stewart has
secured the original silver characterization
bill of 1873 and another copy Of the meas
ure which went TO the House, interim d.
erased and generally tampered with. and
will present them in his speech tomorrow
of silver" II Is said he will attack Sher-
man savagely.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Posts Wash
ington special says: The administration
has not determined upon a financial bill
The conference held Saturday at the
Treasury Department, at which the Pres-
dent was not present, so a representative
who was there said to-day, was one of a
series which have been held between Sec
retary Carlisle and the friends of the ad-
ministration since Congress assembled.
and which will continue until a plan is
adopted. The only thing thus far agreed
upon is the coinage of the segniorage.
The President and Secretary heartily az
prove of that idea, and after the repeal of
the silver-purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act has been accomplished a bill au-
thorlzing such coinage will be introduced.
Whether it will be introduced alone or
incorporated with the rest of the admin
lstration's financial plan canuot now be
SAID. Ii the entire plan be decided upon
by the time repeal is accomplished the
seigniorage idea will be incorporated :;
otherwise 1t will he introduced by itself.
