President Cleveland is Said to Be

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-An important
meeting OF the house appropriations COM

Chairman Sayers.
The conference was over the adoption OF
policy by which the secretary hopes 10

The commitaee. decided TO strike from
the sundry civil appropriation bill sup

treasury notes TO replace those received at
she treasury. The clause TO DO omitted Is;
Provided. that 40 part OF this sum shall pe
expended for printing United States notes or
larger denominations than those that may DO
cancelled OF retired.
Secretary Carlisle stated that IL was his
desire TO get moro silver certificates OF
small denominations into the hands OF
the people, but explained that other notes
occupied the field and crowded them out.
The committees dropped the provision
mentioned.
Representative Sibley asked the score
tary what objection there would be TO
system of redeeming notes I'm gold ana
silver at the option of the secretary OF the
treasury instead Of the holder.
'If that policy had been inaugurated mt
the beginning OF the resumption" an

worked benefcially, and no trouble would
have arisen from 1t. But my predecessors
have followed the policy Of redeeming In
gold or silver, at the option OF the holders

change this policy and force silver on q
man who wanted gold, or vice versa. par

Democrats still Far Apart.
Senator Vest, who Is leading member
Of the senate finance committee, said yes
terday that he did not believe that the
Democratic members OF the committee
would bc able to agree on financial
scheme that would unite and harmonize
their party either in the committee or In

Neither the Jones nor Pugh bills wre

party which favored free coinage. The

for his party to make any attempt to agree
upon measure that would receive the
support and cooperation Of the Repub-
licans.
Notwithstanding Senator Vests pessi.
