WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-A poll of the
senate ON the repeal bill has been sub
mitted to President Cleveland as
follows:
For repeal. forty seven; against repeal,
thirty; doubtful with disposition to vote
for repeal, three; doubtful with d;spo-
sition TO vote against repeal-ive. This
is believed to be fairly accurate state
ment. TIE list of the senators who will
vote for repeal comprises several who
prefer to have the bill amended and
will vote for the unconditional bill only
as last resort.
One amendment proposed provides
"fOr the coinage of silver now in
the treasury" Another prov des for
the purchase of s3OO,OOO,OOO worth of
silver, which with the amount now on
hand would bring the silver coined up
to about $4,000 600. 1t is now nearly
S600,000,000 and when S8O0,OOOOOO
reached the coinage of silver TO cease.
The old Bland-Alllson act will also be
introduced as an amendment.
LOOKING TO NEW TARIFF.
Today was the beginning of hearings by
the ways and means committee OF repre-
sentatlves of the protected industries.
preparatory to framing a new tariff bill.
The only persons present were repre-
septatives of potato and onion growers
OF Bermuda islands, who asked for re-
duction OF duty on these articles, on the
ground that they were almost prohi BIZ
tive. 1t looks as if the protected IN
du-tries of the United States are not
inclined to avail themselves of the
opportunity to appear before the COM
mlttee.
Senator Collum, of Illinois, spoke in
favor of repeal in the senate this morn
ing.
