Cummings Takes a Stand
on Silver.
HE WANTS TO CONSIDER 1T.
The Democrats Seek to Secure Clo-
ture, but Have Very Small
Prospect of Success.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The advocates of
the repeal Of the Sherman bullion purchase
act continued 10 the House to circulate
petitions in favor OF clcture amendment
to the rule for the consideration OF the
Andrew Cate bill. All the Democrats from
New York, except Cummings, signed it.
The latter wants more time to think over
the ma ter. The number OF signatures OBJ
tanned thus far falls considerably short of
majority Of the Democrats of the House,
and apprehensions are felt that it will be
impossible to obtain the desired majority.
A number Of signatures can be obtained if
assurances will be given that some
compromise measure will be substituted
for the present law. The members Of
this mind say 1t is asking too much
of them to repeal the present law and leave
no other act for furnishing continued adj
ditions to the circulating medium In its
place. Missionary work among tho Re-
publican members Of the House has begun.
An anchor has been cast to windward by
the Democrats in favor of repeal. and efforts
are being made to get most of the Repub-
licans in line on an agreement to support
the Democrats In voting down the previous
question on the order reported by the Rules
cloiure in case it is found that the same re-
suit cannot be reached by securing sigma
lures OF the majority OF Democrats to
petitions In circulation. 1t is believed that
If the Republicans will give cordial and
fairly united support they. with the repeal
Democrats, will constitute majority Of the
House.
