President Hopes to Get a Gold
Bond Bill Through
WITH REPUBLICAN asslsrANcE.
A Rumor that . Deal Has Been Ar
ranged With Mr.. Reed.
The Prospses IL that . Gold Bond Bna
wli BE Reported 60 the House
0oon--A Gold Bend Resolution by
Senator niil = The Appropriatioa
Bills.

Washington City. Feb. 1.-THE house
cofssnai ,tee on ways and means held an
other conference over the presidents 5
bond message to-day. and again ad-
journeSd without reaching any conciu-
son. but with a brighter prospect for
agreement ahead of IL. Tomorrow
Secretary Carlisle viii appear. II is ex-
pccted, with the contract for the sale OF
the Forthcoming bond ixsue. 10 settle a
question which arose today. Demo
cratic members OF the committee
pppilesy that the Republicans will
unite with them upon a plan This be-
lief Is based upon no definite statement
from the opposition. but on the general
attitude OF the Republicans. .and the
sight OF Reed in conference with Cock
ran for an hour. The Republican con-
tsngent took small part in the proceed
ings. and individually the members are
diplomatic In speak ang OF their snten-
tons. II Reed has arrived at any un-
Outstanding with the administrators,
as was freely raanored. he has done 1t.
his colleagues say. on his personal re-
sponslhsilty.
Most of the time today was con-
suned in a discussion of a plan offered
by Cochran TO meet the present emer-
gency and possible exigencies of the
future, which would confer large dis
cretioaary power upon the executive
branch OF the government. He made Vt
as a verbal proposition. but after the
meeting reduced tho plan 10 writing
and viii present it tomorrow in the fol-
lowing form:
Whenever 1t appears to the secre-
tacy Of the treasury that an additional
supply OF gold or silver is necessary TO
the treasury 90 enable it 10 maintain
the parity between the various coins or
forms OF money for the United States.
as required by the law, the said secre-
tary is hereby authorized to procure
such gold or silver as may be necessary
for that purpose by issuing therefor
obligations OF the United States condl-
tiured upon q return OF a like quantity
of the same metal as may have thus
been obtained. and for the transfer to
the hosder of such Obligations of any
additional amount OF said metal, not to
exceed per cent. OF the whole amount
thus obtained.
Earlier in the meeting Cochran made
speech in favor OF this proposslbon,
claiming for 1t that 1t did not discrim-
tnate against either metal.
Bryan, of Nebraska, asserted that its
intent was soleiy IN the interest of
gold. Among the Democratic members
OF the committee who were listed as
doubtful a conciliatory condition made
itself manifest, but it may pot result in
an agreement. Republicans say their
course cannot be decided upon unsn the
Democrats present some definite meas
ure 10 them.
