to Have a Majority Of Free
for silver Men.

the Floor of the House of
RepreSentativeS.

| Mantle, of Montana. took the oath of
| office the democratic ma ority OF the
Senate disappeared-let us hope never
to come back again. The senate now
consists of eighty-six members, forty
three democrats, thirty eight republI-
cans and five populsts. When the re-
publican senator's from Wyoming and
Washington take their seats the senate
will be tull for the first time for several
years, and forey.6ve will be majority.
The only change made by the acces-
SONS to the senate. from financial
point OF view. is to strengthen the silver
men, who alreadv had majority. As
an answer to appeals which have been
made to them to join hands with the
administration and pass financial,
bill, several republican senator's have
made careful canvass of the senate
aud the reeult is that forty.seyen sen.
ators are for the free coinage of silver
and thirty-nine against it. The free
coinage men will have forty-nine votes
when the Washington and wyoming
senators arrive.
There is hitch in the administra-
tons program for the new Issue OF
bonds. While it IS given out that the
administration is waiting to see ii con-
gress will act upon Mr.. Cleyeland's gold
bond recommendation is well known
that the DELAY has been caused by the
demands of the capitalists who are ex-
pected to Subscribe for the new bonds.
Orders have been issued to the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing to print
$500 100000 of4 per cent thirty year
bonds authorized by the specie re.ump-
ton act of 1875. but what amount will
be issued is not yet known. Mr.. Cleve-
land is said to favor advertising tor
bids without stating any specified
amount and accepting all satisfactory
BIDS, but the cabinet is understood to
be diviViied on that idea. The ques-
ton may be settled at the cabinet
Through the instrumental atty of Senat-
ors Frye, of Maine, and Dubois, of
Idaho. Senators Chandler and Gallinper.
of New Hampshire, have resumed ami
cable relations with each other, much
to the qualification of their republican
colleagues. Previous to their reconcilia-
ton the two senators had not spoken
to ,ch other tor some years.
The most disgraceful personal encoun-
ter of the present session-the only one.
III fact, was that III which two demo-
Gratis, Breckenridge of Kentucky, and
Heard OF Montana were the principles
There would have been a regular rough
and tumble. fight on the floor of the
house had nobody interfered. The cpl
thets liar" and Contemplate scoun-
drel' were exchanged. and then, as usu
al, apologies were offered and the house
gave its consent to striking the whole
business from the record.
The house will this week decide what
shall he done with the Cleveland gold
bond ILL, the committee on rules hav.
ing decided to report an order setting
aside Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day for its considerat ion II this order
is adopted by the house the final vote
will be taken next Thursday, but there
seems probability, notwithstand the
extraordinary efforts of the administra,
ton to prevent it, that the order may
.neer the same tate as the order for the
consideration of the Carlisle CURRENCY
bill, bc rejected by the house, So far as
the final result is concerned it does not
make the slightest difference what dis
position the house makes of either the
order or the bill. as the latter cannot
possibly get reported to the senate, even
should it pass the house.
The house sent the Reilly Pacif: rail.
road funding bull back to the committe
avote OF lit to LOG. Opponents of
the bill say that, instead Of making
votes against It, the circulars sent TO
Washington by Mayor Sutro, OF San
Francisco, charging the Huntington
lobby witch buying votes tor $40, 900
each, made votes for the bill.
