Republican Caucus Committee Agrees
ON n Preliminary Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec 30-The republican
caucus committee today considered lsgisla-
tion providing for an.lnternational confer
cnce for the establishment OF bimetallism
and agreed upon a bill which it referred to
the republican caucus to be held soon after
tho reassembling of congress next Tuesday
The bill agreed upon Is very brief and
merely confers upon the president the right
to appoint delegates ito any conference that
may be called which has for it's object the
establishment OF bimetallism" 1t does not
distribute the selection of delegates as did
the legislation Of the Fifty-third congress
between the president and the two houses
OF congress, and moreover, leaves the num-
Der to be selected only to the discretion OF
he president. Senator Wolcott gave the
committee a full account of his conference
with Mckinley, from which he had lust re-
turned, assuring them OF Mr.. McKinley's
hearty interest in the committees proceed
ings and his earnest desire to do all in his
power to carry into execution the promise of
the st. Louis convention to secure interna,
uonal bimetallism If possible.
1t was announced after the close of the
conference today that the committee would
press for early consideration of its bill with
the hope of securing all the legislation
needed at this session, so that Mr.. Mckinley
could take whatever steps he might deem
proper to carry it into effect Immediately
upon entering upon his duties as president.
1t was intimated that he was anxious to
have a conference next spring and have 1t
under way by the time the tariff should be
up for consideration. 1t was also stated by
members of the committee that they were
vary hopeful OF securing a conference and
also that they were "by no means hopeless
as to the results of such a conference when
once secured" All members OF the commit
