Denver, Jan, 15,-The Republican
this morning printed the following spe-
ciai dispatch from Washington:
Senator Teller again selTel netica nh
the Democrats to-day thai iGeir propo-
sitions thus far made will not suit
the silver men. Senator Jones, who
had n bill will not introduce 1t because
of the silver mems, opposition. No
financial legislation is now possible.
Senator Hill, who was going to press Il
financial scheme for the adminlstra-
tion. said to-day that 1t would now be
ueeless. Senator Teller also said that
any financial legislation at this session
was impossible, -.
Senator joncs yesterday submitted
the outllne of his bill to Senator Teller.
He and other silver men conferred re-
garding 1t and decided TINT the coinage
OF the American product was not salts
fnctory, To-day Senators JonQs and
Teller had long conference In the
formers, committee room In which an
effort was made to adjust the differ
eices existing between the friends of
silver and to reconcile them to the ad-
ministration.
The talks between Senators Teller
and Jones did moi result .inany definite
understanding. Mr.. j - hn,svas
not ready 10 yet to put his hn III ana
that he would talk with different sena-
tors to see II there was any prospect of
getting 1t through.
'There will be no use," he said, "tO
put in bill at all unless there Is some
probability OF Its acceptance by tho
conflicting elements. have been see
ing the representatives OF different
shades of sentiment about the Senate
and until shall have had an oppor
tunity. to, compare their views ] cannot
say whether shall present the bill at
ALL"
Mr.. Jones also said that while It was
true that he had seen the President
and had submitted rough draft Of
the bill which he proposed TO him, 1t
was not fact that the President had
indicated his acceptance OF the plan
proposed. He said he had talked with
the President for two hours on Friday
last and that while the President had
indicated his desire that legislation
should be accomplished and had EN-
couraged him To 30 ahead, he had not
said that the Jones bill would be ac-
ceptable In all respccis. He had not
gathered the impression that the Presi-
dent was opposed to the bill, but that
he was non.commlttal and would be
on any bill until he should pc assured
ms to whether II could rass Congress.
