be voted upon; then the house will be
given an opportunity To say whether IL
will restore the Bland Allison act Of 67S
or not. All these are connected With the
repeal Of the silver purchasing clause of
1890. That Is doomed ia any event
Finally assuming these having failed to
secure MAJ jnrty Of the votes. the house
will face the naked issue of unconditional
repeal. II IL generally conceded that all
OF the propositions relating to the coinage
Of silver will be defeated. and that uncon-
ditional repeal will be carried, only the
detail Of majorities is In doubt.
On Tuesday the report Of the committee
on rules, recommending the code for the
government Of the Fifty-third congress,
will be taken up, and 1t is believed adopted

which the senate declared that Mantle waA

is some expectation that SentoP Morgan,
who was absent when the last vote was
taken, will be In bis seat, and there is an
