Washington, March 22.-"I can hardl,
see," said Senator Kyle, chairman of tn,
senate committee on education and labor
l "why Senator PETER should have Gen
Coxey's bills sent forward to my commit
tee, but 1 shall examine them and SCI
what can be done about them. Do
think the army will come to Washing
tony" he continued. "Most assuredly
do, and expect to look out of the com
mittee room on May day and see assem-
bled multitude there as large in number
as announced in the program.
II should not wonder If there will be
$4,000 of them instead of 10000 and for
one believe that if tramps and vagrants
can be kept out of the procession and a
respectable lot Of men gathered together,
as think will be the case, the demonstra-
tion will have wholesome effect. 1t is
intended to protest against the issuance
! of bonds and whatever Wall street may
think on the sub bject.
"I tell You this country is almost solid
in its sentiment against the bonds. What
impression the demonstration will make
on congress can not say, but if it is
properly conducted, it can not fail to i'm
press the country at large and have a
future if not immediate effect" The SEN
ator expressed the opinion that the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania could not legally
take steps to prevent the army passing
through that state.
SENATOR MoRGANs IDEA.
Senator Morgan to-day expressed his
intention to press at the proper time the
proposed amendment to the tariff bill
providing for the appointment of tariff
commission. He said the purpose of the
amendments to provide for changes in
thetariff upon an equitable basis, without
the disturbance of business which is
always the result of an effort to make a
complete revision.
THE GOLD PRODUCTION.
The production of gold throughout the
world for the accordingcalendar year
of 1898, is $150,OOO,OOO to the
latest estimate of the mint bureau.
The increase of S11,0OO,O00 will
be mainly furnished by the United
States, South Africa and Russia. The
figures of the United States, although not
yet quite complete, indicate an increase
Of $4,000,000 over those for 1899.
To-DAY's SENATE.
The senate passed the bill for the con-
struction of bridge across the Monon-
gahela river, at Pittsburg.
To-DAY's HOUSE.
The house to-day, by strict party
vote, seated Mr.. English, the Democratic

LET IT COME WEST.
The proposed transfer of the Indian
supply depot from New York to Chicago
is receiving special attention from the
subcommittee on Indian affairs engaged
in the preparation of the annual Indian
appropriation bill. The Nebraska
members in the house are anxious that
the depot should be at Omaha.
CHECK ON APPROPRIATION.
The question of amending the con-
stitution of the United States 80 as to
give the president the right to veto items
of appropriation bills has long been one
that members of congress have given
considerable thought to. It is we'll
known that frequently the chief executive
finds provisions of these bills that are
Objectionable to him, yet rather than
sacrifice numerous items he signs the
bills and they become laws as a whole
has introduced in the house resolution
amending the constitution 80 as to en-
power the president to veto one or more
items of an appropriation bill.
THE PRESIDENT AND BLAND.
Mr.. Bland's visit to President Cleveland
to urge upon him the signing of the
seigniorage bill is the first advance made
on the part Of either Mr.. Cleveland or
Mr.. Bland toward friendly communica-
tion on the financial question. Mr.. Cleve-
land received the silver champion cour-
teously and listened to what he had to
say on the subjec of the seigniorage bill
without committing himself. Ina Joking
way Mr.. Cleveland told the Missourian he
had given the administration more trou-
BILE than any other man in congress. Very
strong efforts are being made to induce
Mr.. Cleveland to sign the bill, and the
visit of Mr.. Bland will be followed by
visits from other leading men in the
party, some of them, like Mr.. Bland, sill
yer men who have heretofore refrained
from offering advice to Mr.. Cleveland.
