the platform be brief and to silvers point,
and that all other issues tending to divi-

This is the weak spot in the silver line
at which the sound money democrats will

are men like Gov. Altgeld, Senator Tillman

free silver declaration, but for an extreme
denunciation of Mr.. Cleveland and all his
works, and for the infusion of populistic
blood into the party's veins. On the other

Substitute for the Bond Bill Ii

JONES SAID TO BE WILLING.


WASHINGTON, Feb. SIT is the ex-
pectation Of the Republican members
Of the finance committee that the tariff
bill will be reported from the commit
tee tomorrow. It Is not believed that
the bill will be amended, but will be
reported as 1t came from the house.
This explanation is based upon the
belief that now the silver bond bill
has been disposed of by the senate,
Senator Jones. of Nevada. will no long
er insist upon holding the tariff bill in
committee. He has not so far as can
be learned, given his assent in explicit
terms, and when spoken to on the SUBJ
5ect, he said he had not yet definitely
decided upon a course of action. The
committee agreed at his request at the
meeting held on Tuesday of last week
to allow the tariff question to go on
until tomorrow's meeting, notwith-
standing the Republican members were
anxious at that time to secure a re-
port, even though it should be adverse
to the bill
Mr. Jones did not then say in so many
words that he would agree to a report
at the next meeting, but the committee
understood that to be an implied con-
dition. 1t is possible that the Nevada
senator will not be present tomorrow.
II he is not, the Republican senator's
Will make an effort in the absence of
any authority to cast his vote to have
the bill reported without recommends
ton. They say they care little as to
the nature Of the report so they sue
coed In getting the bill before the SEN
ate.
The friends Of the bill argue that any
EFFORT to have the bill amended in COM
mttee would be futile, as the Republic
an members are under instructions
from their caucus to admit no amend
ments. and the Democrats are COM
mltted to the existing law. Hence,
they conclude that there could be no
object in further delay. 1t has been
suggested that Mr.. Jones may want to
offer a free coinage amendment In
committee, but he has not intimated
such a purpose, and it Is understood
tnat In case he should do so he would
De opposed by the other silver men on
the committee. For these reasons the
advocate of the bill feel sure of secur-
ing q report tomorrow. They expect
amendments to be offered in the senate
among others. one for free coinaie. but
they say that such an amendment ON
the tariff bill will be voted down. and
that they are fairly confident of
passing 1t practically as it comes from
the house. To do this they will have
10 secure all the Republican votes and
at least one Populist vote.

WALKER ON COAST DEFENSE.
The Admiral Points Out the Need OF
Land FOrtiflcatiOns

WASHINGTON. Feb. admiral
Walker appeared before the committee
on coast defenses today and made an
exhaustive statement on the subject
of coast defenses from a naval point of
view. The admiral stated that, while
ne advocates the construction of a
thoroughly effective naval force, he
fully recognizes the absolute necessity
of land defenses. He advocated the
building Of battleships rather than
harbor defense vessels, as being better
adapted for general purposes Of at
tack and defense. In reply to a ques-
ton, the admiral stated that were he
In charge Of the defense Of the coun-
try. and had $100,OOOOOO at his disposal
for that purpose. he would devote. &c.
100000 to land defenses and $50, 0O0, 900
to the navy. He also stated that under
present conditions it would be impos-
sible for the navy to defend our sea-
ports, and that 1t would be far more
economical to protect them with land
defenses than to create a sufficient
navy for that purpose.
