WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-There
will be much disappointment today
if the vote on the reconsideration Of
the Montana case in the senate or
any other cause, should prevent the
delivery of Hill's promised speech
on the silver question. Notwith.
standing the fact that the Senator
stated in his animated colloquy with
German on Wednesday last that his
position on this question had not
been misunderstood, since last Feb.
ruary there is much curiosity, which
only Hill himself can satisfy, to
kno " Just exactly where he stands
at the present day on the financial
question, and especially after his
championship of the views of PEI

national bank resolutions. There

Senator German, of Maryland, the
hitherto acknowledged leader Of his
party on the senate floor. There
was distinct tone of acerbity in
Hill's remarks on Wednesday, when
he said: 81 am as anxious, sir, as
the Senator from Maryland can
possibly be, to solve the financial
distress of this country. l will go
with him as far as he will go in the
effort to keep out craftsmanship in
the disposition of the financial ques-
ton. From the hour we first met
in this body my efforts have been
toward bringing about proper So

forts have been Just as Jealous, just
as earnest as have been the Efforts
of the Senator from Maryland. My
position on this great financial ques.

spoke on the subject last February,
when l thought saw danger com.
ing to the country. l did not hear
the eloquent voices of some other
gentlemen aiding me in this con-
test"
Golman let this last remark,
though evidently directed at him,
pass unnoticed at the time, but
should the criticism thus implied by
Hill be in any way renewed, the
quid nuncs joytully anticipate a
spicy rejoinder and an exciting in.
terlude in the dreary waste of sena.
torial silver talk.
1t is predicted that the bill to
increase the circulation of the
national banks TO the pa.
value of the bonds deposited
by them will never come to 8
vote in the senate. The issue hat
now been dragging its slow length
, along for some days. 1t has receiv
ed good deal of commentator,
but there has been exhibited toward
it also the most pronounced hostil-
ity. Voorhees, himself, in his
speech the other day, gave utter
ance to no very friendly sentiments
+ towards the national banks, and hi
remarks found responsive echo from
, other senators. The Indiana sena-
| tor stated the other day that if this
bank circulation bill was to be used
. to delay action upon the repeal bill
he would withdraw it. Whether
q he carries this threat into execution
= or not the measure is not likely tt
q reach vote.
