Question.
Special to the RRcoRp-UyInN.

SpeciaI to the RECoRD-UNToN.
WASHINGTON. March 9.--''The fight on
the tariff bill has not begun yet" said
one of the Democratic Senators this
morning, who all along has been consist
emily opposed to the bill. ''It is too early
yet to predict what will be the final out
come; but can give you pointer, and
that is, the real fight for the defeat of the
bill has not started in earnest"
This remark, coupled with the strange
desire of some Democrats to bet that the
Mckinley Act will not be repealed at this
session, has caused good deal of specula-
ton to-day. This is much dissatisfaction
over some of the schedules, and there will
be tight squeezing to pass them. Should
break come over any of them the bars
will come down and great smash occur.
That is why the Democrats are trying
now to keep all in line and keep the bill
intact,

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Senator AIli-
son regards the appointment by Germany

question as an instance of great signifi-
cance, particularly because the commits
sion. with the exception of one or at the
most two, is composed of bimetallists.
The creation of the commission. the SEN
ator says, was due to the rapid decline in
silver. He looks to see the example of
Germany followed by the other Govern
ments of Europe. THE action of Ger
many" the Senator said to-day, "ought
to give the greatest encouragement to the
friends of silver in the United States, who
believe the true solution of the problem
is by international agreement"

small caliber OF the pistol and the fact
that Young had on a heavy overcoat at
the time, only one of the bullets took
effect, penetrating the left shoulder a
short distance The doctor who extracted
the bullet gives it as his opinion that the
injury will not be at all serious.
Darby was arrested and lodged in jail.
but no charge was placed against him,
pending the result of Young's injuries.
Both men are about u years old, and ac-
cording to Young have not been on good
terms on account of some little personal
difficulties. Darby refuses to say any
thing about the matter.
