News Notes.
Washington, Feb. 26.-The friends of
the amendment to the sundry civil bill
providing for the issue of $100,OOO,OOO
in certificates of indebtedness have about
concluded that they will be unable to get
the bill through as long as the amend
ment remains part of it. The Populist
senators have announced their determin-
alton to kill the bill rather than allow the
adoption of the amendment. The amend
ment, offered by Senator Mills, for the
repeal of all laws authorizing the issue of
bonds will be opposed by those who
favor the certificates just as stubbornly
as the certificate amendment 1s opposed
by the anti-bondmen. Both amendments
will be dropped after few hours debate.
SILVER CONFERENCE COMMISSION.
The senate finance committee to-day
ordered favorable report on the amend
ment to the sundry civil appropriation
bill to provide for the appointment of a
commission of nine in behalf of the
United States to attend an international
conference for the rehabilitation of sill
yer in case one be decided upon. The
committee struck out the provision in
the original resolution specifying the
countries upon whose invitation the
president shall determine thisl country
shall be represented, and it simply pro-
vides that he shall act with such confer
ence if called. The provision regarding
the appointment of commissioners on
behalf of the United States is made to read
as follows: "The United States shall be
represented at such conference by nine
delegates to be selected as follows: The
president of the United States shall select
three of said delegates; the senate shall
select three members of the senate as
delegates, and the house of representa-
tives shall select three members as dele
gates. If at any time there shall be any
vacancy such vacancy shall be filled by
the president of the United States"
