PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH HOUSES.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The silver
men, or the most intense silver men, in
the house will, it is said, insist that the
repeal bill be put through by force and
without any agreement on their part as
10 time when debate shall end or any
thing else. They say they mean TO be
forced into submission.
The mode of procedure in the house
tomorrow 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. Mr. Wilson will
ask how much time is desired, and will
endeaVor to get an agreement The sill
yer men, if they do not change their
minds, will not agree to anything. Mr..
Wilson viii then insist upon the previ-
Gus question. Then the filibustering
viii begin. 1t Is doubtful how much
strength the silver men will have.
a number OF those who have always
voted for free coinage and will
vote against coucurring in the senate
amendment will not join the tilibus-
tererS. But there Is little doubt that
these men will have sufficient strength
to call the yeas and nays, and that will
force the committee on rules to report a
closure resolution. This will be done if
the tilibustering begins. The repealers
have peen worried all the time about
quorum, and today could count but 165
members in the city who voted against
all amendments when the bill was pend
ing in the house before being sent to
the senate. If all the other members.
about $50, who are here, and who sup
ported silver in some form or other,
should refuse 10 vote on various mo-
ti0us, ii would leave the house without
quorum. But it is understood that
they viii not do this. 1t is generally
understood thai Mr.. Bland weakened
his case very much when he objected TO
Mir. Liyingston's motion to take up and
consider the bill until tomorrow night,
when & vote should be taken.
Mir. Bland wants an opportunity to
vote on free coinage proposition, and
ii the rules will give him the privilege
he Will offer as an amendment to the
repeal bill the coinage act Of 1887. IL
have done with all compromises" he
said 10 an Associated Press reporter,
"aud want nothing but free coinage. |
will not offer the Bland-AllisOn law,
even II am given an opportunity. Free
coinage or nothing"
Mr.. Bland will be given an oppor-
tunity to move to commit the bill to his
committee on coinage, weights and
measures, as such a motion is privi-
legged under the rules. The clause in
the Voorhees, bill which declares the in
tention of this government to maintain
the parity OF all money and in favor of
bimetallic coinage gives the coinage
committee the right to the bill should it
be referred to committee, and conse-
quenuy Mr.. Bland has the privilege of
making such a motion. 1t would, of
course, be voted down. 1t is probable
that the rGleS committee will fix the
time for voting on the bill at some time
tomorrow evening, perhaps about 5
