sentatlves will not dispose Of the bill ITO main
tain and protect the coin redemption fund anu
10 authorize the issue Of certificates Of indebted
ness to meet temporary deficiencies OF revenue
until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon The oppo-
nents OF the measure. who comprise ALL or
nearly ALL the Democrats, all the Popusts ana
an unknown number of Republican members
feel exceedingly hopeful tonight and many
of them express the opinion that the bill VIII
not pass the House, while others appear to feel
confident Of the defeat Of the first section, whch
provides for the 'sue Of hve-hfteen per cen.
bonds whenever necessary to protect the Soid
reserve They are inclined to the opinion that
the second section which authorizes the issue OF
certificates of indebtedness whenever necessary
. meet current deficiencies Of revenue. VIII DC
carried separate vote will be had on eac"
section.
Nr Hartman of Montana, who is one OF the
most active opponents Of the measure was
busy to-day trying to ascertain now many VI
the Republicans would vote against both Sec
tons and how many would vote against oec'
ton 1 and Section 2. Late this afternoon ne
said that the results of his canvass were eA-
ceedingly encouraging. and that ne believed
eighty or ninety Republican members woulo
vote against the bill a whole. but ne couio
name only about sixty Republicans VINO wouiu
thus vote.
IT'S FRIENDS ALSO CONFIDENT.
With a full vote the friends of the measure
could spare sixty-hve Republicans TO the op-
position, and still pass the bill Several Oh
them admitted that the second section wouia
probably receive 4 stronger vote thah the 'iis'
section but they appeared confident that poth
would be adopted. and the latter lnpress'o"
seemed To prevail among nearly all the ieaueiS
of the majority Several of them however
showed considerable uneasiness, and one or TWO
frankly said that they felt doubuul IN resai"
to the fate Of the measure.
The surface indications late this evening were
that opposition to the bill had gained con-
siderable strength since yesterday, despite the
ac,endments adopted by the Ways and Means
Committee tbs morning. which had removed
the objections Of some Republicans who feared
acl believed that the bill in it's original FORM
would give to the Secretary Of the treasury
an opportunity which he would qulcky L,
come into the possession or the treasury anu
thus retire them from circulation.
WHY SOME REPUBLICANS OPPOSE IT.
The chief reason why some other Republicans
opposed the hill is ttrt with sufficient revenue
(Which the Republican House yesterday voted 10
provide the necessity of issuing bonds 20 pro'ect
and maintain the gold reserve will quickly disap-
pear and that an issue of bonds OF any descrlp-

ADOPTION OF THE SPECIAL RULE.
As on Yesterday th- consideration Of the main
question was preceded by the discussion and
adoption of a special rule. The speechmakins
On that subject to-day however was confined to
the Democratic side. the speakers being Judge
Crisp and Messrs. Bailey and McMillin Judge
Crisp again brought up the question as to the
date on which the revenue act of 1894 became
law An inspection of the statute would have
prevented him from doing so. for 1t would nave
shown him that it "iS received 10y hs'
Cleveland on August ID, 1884, ana therefore De-
came a law without his approval on August -,
two SUNDAYS having IL terSened between the Two
dates The fact that the supreme Court OF the
T-,i,od states has since decided that the law went
into effect on August 2S has no bearing on this
case because the phraseology OF the PHI passed
Yesterday not only fully ana sufnclently DE-
| scribss bv titla the only revenue law enacted in
| 1874 but also specifically says that IL became
law on August 27 1894" which is an exact state
| rn,ot of Tia. fact This point Is mentioned only
| to Indicate the strait to which the Democratic
| leaders find themselves reduced.
STRONG SPEECHES on BOTH SIDES.
The debate on the bill to-day was marked by
several strong speeches both for and against it.
chairman Dingley, of the Ways and Means
Committee. explained and advocated the meas
ure with his usual lucdty Of statement and
/ force of reasoning, and General Grosvenor OF
/ Ohio and Messrs. Johnson, Of North Dakota,
/ and Lacey of Iowa, submitted strong arguments
! in favor OF it, MIR Turner. of Georgia. and Mr..
/ Patterson Of Tennessee. who are both sound-
| money Democrats. delivered forcible speeches
/ on the other side and advocated the scheme
| proposed by President Cleveland and Secretary
! Carlisle.
| The strongest and most effective speech
against the bill however. and the one which
was received with the greatest attention and
| most gene rOus applause. was that OF Mr.. john
! SON. of California. He is friend OF silver and
he made his first appearance to-day as de-
! batter and orator in the House or representa-
tives. His arguments evidently produced deep
| impression and probably won some votes for he
opposition. His speech also indicated that all
the California Representatives will vote against
one or both sections of the pending bl al
! though they also voted for the special rule for
! its consideration.
There is reason to believe that their example
will be followed by all the Representatives from
| Oregon. Washington, Idaho, Colorado Montana
and Wyoming. well as by at least two OF the
| RepuL lean Representatives from Missouri
those from Kansas three from Kentucky two
from Illinois. from Virginia. two from West
Virginia. and two, two If not three from North Caro-
votes against the measure-three times as many
as We're recorded against the special rule to-
| day.
