TIMES BUREAU. RApLEY BUILDING, !
WASHINGTON. March %. 1894. I

CONGRESSMAN Tucker when asked his
views about the message vetoing the
Bland BILL said: The message recon-
mends us TO give the Secretary Of the
Treasury power to issue more bonds.
The Presidents position reminds me OF
the story of the boy who ran to his
mother crying and begging her to let him
20 to the circus; her reply was: mo, my
son. but IL you will be a good boy I'll
let you so to your grandmother's funer-
al"
CONGRESSMAN Wise said in substance.
that he considered the veto a very unfor-
tunate thing. as the coinage Of the
bullion was not a serious or momentous
thing, yet would have served TO a great
extent I'm the solution of the silver agita-
ton. He feared now that a provision
for silver coinage will be put upon the
tariff bill and thereby endanger the
speedy passage of that most important
measure.
This view as taken by Captain Wise
seems to be very generally accepted, and
1t was freely predicted to-day that n
free coinage amendment will, at least. be
attempted upon the tariff bill. which comes
up for discussion in the Senate on Mon
day next.
