LUCKY BOND LOAN BIDDERS
Receive Official Notice From
Secretary Carlisle.

ness before the senate this week probably
will be the vote on Senator Quay's resolu-
ton for the recommitment Of the revenue
tariff bill to tho committee on finance.
Senator Smith IN. j. Is announced to
make u speech on the Mehroe doctrine,
n Senator Blanchard on the same SUBJ
ject.
The Hansbrough resolution in regard to
the distribution of seed by the agricul-
tural department will, by agreement, be
taken up early I'm the week, and IL Is the
purpose OF the committee on a%ppropria-
lions to get the appropriation bills up in
rapid succession and out OF the way as
soon rs possible. -Four OF these bills have
already been reported from the committee,
n others will follow as speedily as tho
committee can tnrn them out after their
passage by the house.
There will DO an effort to secure an adj
journment from Thursday until Monday
TO permit the Pacific railroads committees
to continue their hearings. 1t is probable
that the better part of the week will BIO
given up to the appropriation bills. TIL
Republicans expect to get up the question
of tho senate reorganization toward the
latter part OF the week, and II they succeed
this will consume considerable time.
TIL interest in the Quay resolution is
enhanced by the knowledge thai the vote
will be very close. The Republicans ex-
pect TO poll their full vote of "A members
for recommittal. and they are not without
hope that they may get n vote or two from
the Democratic side. This claim, is, how
ever, vigorously contested by the Demo-
Gratis. who say they will have "A full Demo-
cratic and Populist vote against this pro-
position.

ton, the effect will be TO place tho silver
substitute for the tariff bill before the
senate, but it is not expected that IL will
be taken up Immediately. Senators in
cline TO the belief that In no event can
the tariff-silver bill be disposed Of within
less than a months time.
The general debate on the free coinage
substitute for the bond bill, which was
discussed day and night for four days in
the house last week, closes today. 1t is
the general expectation that a vote will DO
reached sometime tomorrow.
AS to the result, there is no sort OF
doubt. Mr.. Dingley's motion to non-con-
cur and insist on the house bill will carry
by a vast majority, probably exceeding
100 IL there Is % full house. 1t Is not be-
lieved that Mr.. Crisp's motion TO concur
In the FREQ coinage substitute will muster
oNtE lOO NOttS. IL III opportunity Is gwen
10 concur in the last three sections of the
blll-to redeem greenbacks i'm gold or sill
yer at the option of the government, to
coin the seigniorage and 10 retire national
bank notes Of n less denomination than
Sl0-the vote may be close. but IL Is
thought that parliamentary manipulation
will prevent votes except on the main
propositions.
The resolution to censurc Mr.. Bayard
can be prevented mt any time during the
week, but it NAV be withheld until the
pending appropriations bills-the agricul-
tural, army and District Of Columbia-are
out OF the way.
A Matter Of Form.
The Populist senators have concluded to
stand by their former decision to nominate
candidates of their own for the offices of
secretary and sergeant-at-arms of the sem
ate when the election OF these officers Is
undertaken in accordance with the Re-
publican program. The Populists will
name Thomas Watson Of Georgia for Sec
rotary and Mr.. Taubeneck OF Illinois for
sergeant-at-arms. They have not, so far
rs can be learned, gone beyond an agree
ment to support these men on the first bal
lot.
Financial Argument.
The debate In the house on the free coin
age substitute for the house bond bill was
very spirited Saturday. There were sew
eral strong speeches, and one, at least, of
a somewhat sensational character. Mr..
Towne (Rep., Mimi claimed the atten-
ton of the house and galleries for over an
hour with an eloquent effort on behalf Of
free coinage, which won for him n personal
ovation such as has not been accorded any
member since the session began. His
speech was illustrated with charts, and
aroused unbounded enthusiasm among
the silver forces.
Mr.. Hall (Dem., Mo-, on the other hand,
announced his conversion 30 Sound
money" In n rather sensational speech, in
which he charged that senator's who voted
for free coinage according to credible
information" had privately said hat they
beloved free coinage would bring upon
this country national and individual bank
ruptcy and ruin. He charged them with
trying 10 feather their nests mt home,"
and declared hat the greatest sin OF the
present age was the cowardice OF states
men. He also declared that a high official
of tho administration had said that the
silver agitation had already cost the gov
S262, co., 900 In bond issues, and
In the course OF the next ~ months the
bond issues would increase to 81 900, 600, 900.
Mr.. Hall voted for free coinage in the last
congress.

public the names OF the successful bidders
