WASHINGTON. d. c., March 2S.-The

The friends Of the seigniOrage bill had
new story to tell today. This was that
Secretary Gresham and HOke Smith had
overcome the objections OF the President
10 the bill and he had decided TO sign
II. The story gained ground rapidly, and
members who were responsible for IL
were eagerly sought and piled with ques-
lions as TO its correctness.
The "anti-silver" members took no
stock in il. and held firmly to their opin-
ion that Il veto would reach the House
to-day or tomorrow While the story
seemed 10 please the silyerites. IL appar-
emily did not disturb the anti-siiver peo-
pie or shake their belief that the Presi-
dent would return the bill without his
