WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb %.
6PHE present week in the senate
promises to bs barren in legisla-
tion but fertile in action, look
II ing to the shaping of the policy
Of the party in power on the tariff
question. Three very important mat
ters are expected to transpire tomorrow,
the presentation of the tariff bill to the
Republican members of the finance
committee, the Democratic caucus with
the same bill as basis for the discus
sion in which dissatisfied Democrats
are expected to BE- moBt active, and the
report of the committee on foreign af'
fairs on the Hawaiian investigation
For two weeks. Mr. Bland has un-
ayailingly striven to bring 4 majority
of the house to the support of his bill
to coin the seignioraye OF the silver
bullion in the treasury, or at least to
induce majority to vote upon the
question of closing debate on the meas
nre, and thus bring it before the house
for disposition Mr.. Bland says that
the struggle will be Kept up until the
bill shall have been voted upOl If it
takes all summer
DEMOCRATS WILL OPPOSE THE BILL.
An impression prevails that the ne.
cessary and long desired quorum will
manifest itself tomorrow or Tuesday.
A prominent member, who has not
taken an active part in the controversy
over the bill, but who has voted to
consider it, said this evening. II very
much doubt that the bill willbe passed
even if quorum be sacurdd to act
upon. If the republicans will vote with
the Democrats who are opposed
to the bill in the present form, it can
be shOrn Of its most Objectionable feat
ures. The frat section can he changed
so as to permit the issue of certificates
against the seigniorage only so fast rs
it shall be coined. With the present
mint facilities this wonld amount to
about two millions u month, distribut-
ing the issue over period of nearly
two and half years And the second
section can be stricken out altogether.
The proposition to incorporate author
ity to ISSUE bonds in the bill will not
be adopted With the changes sug
gested the bill will probably be passed,
but not otherwise.
ELECTION, CONTESTS READY.
Whenever the bill shall he disposed
of, the election case of O'Neli VS.

COACHMAN,S BLUNDER.
He Was More Jealous Than Discreet
in His Method.

he Was More Jealous Than Discreet
in His Method.
Henry Coachman was examined in US
tice Henry's court yesterday on the
charge of attempting to bribe witness,
with the result that he was held to an
swer.
The charge grew out of the examination
of j. II. Reynolds, a couple of weeks
ago, who was held to answer for burg
larry, in entering the barn of b. G.. Slaus-
son, near Willow Slough, and taking
therefrom sack Of oats for his horse.
The alleged attempt at bribery occurred
in front of Justice Henry's office during
the examination, and Coachman was
arrested day or two afterward. Assist
ant District Attorney j. G. Jones con-
Quoted the prosecution, and G. n. Post
appeared for the defendant.
b. @. Slausson testified that Coachman
offered to pay him $50 if he would not
testify against Reynolds. He could not
repeat the exact words used by Coach
man, but had no doubt as to what he
meant in making the offer. The offer
was repeated later on.
Both sides tried hard to get the witness
to repeat the language used by Coach
man, but he could not do so.
Deputy Constable w. J. Brissel testi-
fed that he heard Coachman say to
Slausson that he would give him $40 to
drop the prosecution against Reynolds.
as the latter was a poor fellow and did
not mean to steal anything.
Subsequently witness heard Coachman
say to Carl Munger that he would give
so to get Reynolds out of his trouble.
Carl Munger testified that on the side
walk in front of the courtroom, on the
day of Reynolds examination, Coach
man asked him if he could do anything
for Reynolds, and he replied that he
wasn't in that kind of business. Coach
man then asked him to do what he could
Tor Reynolds.
Witness also heard Coachman say some
thing about giving $40 to square the busi-
ness SO that everything would be all
right; that Reynolds was poor fellow,
and he wanted to get him out of trouble.
Charles Slausson testified to having
heard Coachman tell G.. b. Slausson that
he would give him $40 not to appear
against Reynolds.
Justice Henry then held Coachman to
answer, and fixed his bail at 81 900.

But He Leaves Sundry Reminders to
Criminals Behind Him.
Justice Henry was not in good humor
with evil-doers yesterday.
T. II. Evans, charged with selling a
coat and other property stolen from D. III.
Quinn's, received sentence of one hum
dred days in Jail.
George A. Clark and John Webster,
charged with trying to defraud lodging
house keeper, came up for sentence.
Justice Henry, whom one Of the prison.
ers claimed to have known, stated that he
knew the prisoners father and mother,
who were respectable people, and after
warning him OF the certain consequences
Of persisting in such courses, fined them
So each, with the usual alternative.
George st. Clair and James Murphy
were charged with stealing a trunk which
had been checked, at the railroad depot,
and taking out a dozen pairs of ladies'
hose.
They were evidently expensive hose.
for they cost the prisoners ten days each in
the County Jail for each pair OF the hose,
or l20 days each.
John Bornhold, who had tipped his
elbow too freely, forfeited his So deposit.
Ida Wilson, charged with vagrancy,
was sentenced to thirty days in jail, and
the commitment withheld till Saturday.
The sentence of Pat McQuade, for dis
turbing the peace of Mrs. Cody, was con-
tinued for ten days.
Before Justice Henry closed court, he
took occasion to thank the attorneys and
officers for their courteous treatment and
assistance to him, during the time he had
oiliciated in Justice Devine's place. He
entirely overlooked the prisoners, how
ever, who had given him the opportunity
OF showing how evenly the scales of JUS
tice are balanced, and how sure are her
punishments.
