AsH1NGToN, May Ex-senator Alli-

public an senator's at the Capitol during
the day, about two-thirds OF the mem

tinuation OF the discussion which oc-
CURED at Senator Sherman's house on
Monday night.
Senator Dubois announced his inten-
ton of publicly declaring in favor of
speedy action, and when several sena-
tors took issue with him he said his
judgment relative to the silver repeal
was as good as theirs last fall and he
intended to follow it. The conference
broke up without any action icing
;; agreed upon, but those senators who
Believe in Early Action
seemed to lie in such majority that
they felt that the policy would now be
to consider the bill with view Of en-
gaging in only legi innate discussion Of
the various schedules.
Senator Chandler advanced the sug-
gestion that the debate would consume
from 80 to 60 days on whatever lines it
might be conducted, and said that as
that was the case, there was no neces-
sity of resolving upon any particular
course at present. He also urged that
there was suggestion of flibustering for
the Republican conference to consider.
as there were no senators who desired
to engage in flibustering.
