said that the Conservative members OF the
federal Parliament are being privately
sounded as to whether they would be will

The plan is TO be adopted in case it b.

remedy in the hands Of the executive-the
redemption OF notes in silver. They might
vote for coin bonds to borrow money If the
executive said that money was needed to
meet current expenses, but as the demand

on that ground--which, in fact. is distinctly
disavowed-their opposition 10 the bond lea
probably also resist the measure on account
of the increase of the tariff schedules. The
administration and souad-money Democrats
who might be disposed to vote for BOND
authorization will probably be deferred from
voting for the measure because or its tarin
propositions So that the solid opposition
OF the Democrats is looked for. The over
whelming Republican majority insures its
passage, however, beyond question 1t is
likely that several amendments will be Of
fered by the Democrats if they can secure
recognition for that purpose-one to author
lie the redemption OF the treasury notes OF

the treasury and possibly a plain free
coinage amendment
The course of the Senate this week will
depend largely IL not entirely upon the
turn which affairs shall take in the House.
The Senate adjourned yesterday until Tues
day. In the event that the House should
adjourn over the holidays. the Senate will
be ready to acquiesce, as majority OF the
Senator's are still unquestionably favorable
TO the usual holiday recess The probabil-
tiles point strongly to the absence OF a
quorum the greater part Of the week in
case no recess is taken. The calendar con-
tains only one DILL of general importance
and not to exceed half dozen minor bills.
Consequently there is little prospect of ac-
tual legislation in any event. 1t is there
fore more than probable that whatever ses-
sions are held will be devoted largely TO
speech-making If the House should send
over a financial or revenue bill there would
be no possibility of receiving q report on
it for some time. But such a measure
might afford subject matter for informal
speeches.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-Whatever hope
may have existed on Saturday for speedy
and. satisfactory settlement OF the tailors'
strike was dispelled by the action OF the
Clothing Contractors Mutual Protective
Association. The contractors virtually de-
cided to make the present trouble the de-
cisive struggle between themselves and
their employees. and bade defiance TO the
board of walking delegates. The contrac-
tors held an afternoon and evening meet
ing, which was attended by three hundred
contractors Reports of committees claim
ing that every contractor was loyal to tnc
association were received with cheers, and
when President Elias Marks stated that
the following card had been hung up in
every contractors shop in New York,
Brooklyn, Jersey City and Brownvile the
meeting became very enthusiastic. The
card reads:
Rules and Regulations OF This Shop
This shop 10 open for such employees as
will suit our work No shop chairman nor
walking delegate admitted here. Working

Ram Katahdin Rejected.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-The President
has decided, after considering the matter
for some time. that the government can
not accept the Amman ram Katahdin be-
cause of her failure to attain the seven
teen knots speed required by the contract.
Senator Hale has, accordingly, introduced
bill in the Senate authorizing the accept
ance of the vessel. The naval authorities
are unanimously of the opinion that she is
an efficient war ship, and is prevented from
attaining the prescribed speed only by a

tee assignment in Pacific railroads. When
IL Is remembered that the obligations of
the Union Pacific railroad come due in 1897
and that the present Congress must there
fore legislate on the future of the Pacific
railroads, it will be recognized that Mr.

him. Nor Is the committee on manufactures

solely for the purpose of allowing the chair

one of that kind.

THE RATE SITUATION.
How it i. sized Up in Colorado

How it is Sized Up in Colorado.
The Denver Republican sizes I'D the
rate situation as follows:
Through misapprehension Colorado
merchants received a benefit at the
hands of the railroads. Grain rates
went down temporarily. At the time
the drourh sufferers were clamoring
for seed wheat and corn, the Burling
ton jumped to their rescue and put in
special rate to Sterling, Colo, from
Missouri river points of 10 cents on
grain other than wheat, with a CORE
spending rate for wheat The Union
Pacific imagined It saw a job. and
published an open tariff. All other
lines met this. Oddly enough the Mis-
souri, Pacific got the bulk of the bust
pess, it being the only line which had
corn along the route. AS a result of
the cut it brought in ten trainloads of
SEaln into the eastern part OF the
2kste. The regular rate was restored
april /.
Freight business now is very light,
and the same is true of passenger re-
ceipts. There IS no great amount of
any one commodity on the move. Po-
tato growers and holders have got rid
of their stocks and the cleanup is be-
ing made. This class of merchants
have learned a thing or two during the
season just closing. They found they
could sell better in Chicago, St Louis
Memphis and as far out as Galveston
than on the Missouri river 1t is the
first year that potatoes have gone so
lar away from home. and. realizing the
large amount of money in the business,
freight men intend bending every en-
ergy to secure long distance markets
for this commodity next fall. The
longer the haul the better for the
freight man as a rule, and the better
for the shipper, because he gets a
wider market.
Rates are almost sound. One general
agent stated yesterday that this was
so from the very fact that there is no
business worth quarreling over.
