will have fine Camp room as any in the

Of their nefariOua financial manipula-

their power to fool the people by their

The arrogant crowd who have hitherto
carried the day are now covering and

Mr.. Carlisle stated to the committee
that he believed he had an "undoubtad

this, right in the frontfRce Of the law

which decided adversely to Secretary
Foster on precisely tho same point, is q

ONCE MORE
SILVER DICK BLAND B0Bs UP WITH
A COINAGE BILL.
A Tariff Bill With An Income Tax
Attachment Passed by
the House.

WASHINGTON, February 6-As yet no
democratic member has broken over
party lines on the Hawaiian matter, Rs
far as debate 10 concerned, and it seems
likely the McCreary resolution viii pass
by practically strict party vote. Mr..
Holman, however, is still bent upon Of
fering his resolution condemning the
action OF Mr.. Stevens, but at the same
time reprobating the course Of the Rd.
ministration in attempting the restorS-
tion of the deposed queen.
How much democratic strength, If
any, this resolution will command ia still
pro blemsticsl. On Wednesday Mr..
Bland will call up his bill for the COIN
age Of the silver ssigniorsgs in the
treasury (amounting to over 0000)
and that sum to be made Immediately
available, il necessary, to meet the
wants Of the treasury by issuance of
treasury notes similar to those issued
under the act Of 1890. Mr.. Bland and
many Of his democratic colleagues, who
are bitterly opposed to the bond issue,
want to relieve the treasury in this WBy
rather than by the issue Of bonds, and
it is probable that during the debate
there will be q heavy outcroppiDg Of
criticism of the action of Secretary Car
Isle insofar as it related to the use Of
the proceeds Of the sale Of bonds to pay
current expenses Of the government.
The republicans will take the position
indicated by the minority report, that
there is no silver seigniorage in the
treasury, the bullion against notes issued
under act Of 1890 not having been
coined. They will also take the position
that, while the coinage value OF tho sill
YER in the treasury is S181, ,915, ,961, it's
actual market value is but S97, ,156,O52
or, in other words, that the silver obi
cations Of the government, coined or un.
coined, if issued up 10 the full coinage
value, as il silver were at par CsL29 per
Ounce), would only be worth about 55
cents on the dollar, and could only be
sustained by the credit Of the govern
ment. Mr.. Bland expects the debate
upon this bill will not last over two
days.
During the week q row viii probably

upon.
Within the last few days the demo-
Gratis have noticed that chapters Of Gun

have appeared, in connection with re-
publican speeches, and they are trying
to devise some methods by which repe-
tition Of the George trick OF last session
may be chsokmated. The republicans,
Of course, claim their action is justified
by the democratic preCedents, and, when
the matter comes up, as it probably will
this week, the debate viii no doubt be
highly entertaining. The democrats
want to stop further publication before
the completion Of the volume in order to
destroy its value as q campaign docu-
ment.
THE TARIFF BILL.
Last Thursday evening the Wilson
tariff bill passed the house by vote Of
204 to lao. The ten Popullst members
voted for the bill, and seventeen demo-
Gratis voted against 1t. Aside from this
innovation it was about a straight party
vote a. between republicans and demo-
Gratis, ten members being absent.
For hours before the debate began,
the corridors leading to the galleries
were a surgiDg mass OF humanity, which
finally became 80 great that men cried
out In terror and women tainted from
fright. It was estimated that over 90.
600 attempted to gain admission to the
galleries Of the house. Their seating
capacity is about 1900. and every avail
able seat was occupied long before the
gsvel dropped. The people were lined
against the walls and banked against
doors. So great did the crush become
that the members Of the house secured
permission to bring their wives upon the
floor.
Shortly after the house convened at
ii o'clock, the crowds In the immense
gallery on the north side Of the cham
Der became so great that there was
imminent danger that some of the peo-
pie would be pressed over the railiny
into the house below. Those in the
