CONGRESS THIS WEEK.
enato sherman VIII EndeavOr tn
Pass the Cuban Reso,ntfons.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-The indications
are that the Cuban question and the Dupont
election case viii continue TO claim the great
er share OF the attention Of the Senate dur
Ing the present week, though other matters
undoubtedly will be considered at different
times. An agreement was reached two weeks
ago, before the Dupont case was taken up,
that the bill for the settlement of the ac-
counts between the United States and the
State of Arkansas should be made the I'M
finished business for Tomorrow. IL this
agreement is observed it will, for the time
at least. displace the Dupont debate. There
also is an understanding that In case it is
made apparent that the Cuban matter can
be speedily disposed Of the managers for Mr..
Dupont viii not stand in the way. Senator
Sherman Is exceedingly dasirous Of getting
the Cuban resolutions out of the way at the
earliest practicable time. and will press con-
sideration. Tn Senator's who are opposing
the resolutions are, however, not inclined
to fall i'm with this design, AMI there is now
no prospect Of an immediate vote on the
conference report. It Is intimate that the
President IL likely to send a message to the
Senate on the Cuban question in response to
Senator Hears resolution of inquiry. and if
he should do so it unquestionably will have
8hnSence either IN stxpeultlnS or retardfng
final consideration OF the question in the
Senate. Senator Lodge will be heard to-
mcrIow on the immigration bill. and Senator
Pugh on tariff and silver. Senator Morgan
prccably will make the next speech on the
Cuban question in reply TO Senator's Hale,
Hill and Hoar, and Senator Chandler will
lead on the debate in the Dupont case when
It's consideration IL esumed-
A variety Of matters make fup the pro-
eramme for the weak in the House. To-mor-
row Is committee suspension day under the
rules, and several bills will probably be
called up and acted on. among them the
Oklahoma homestead bill. The bill for the
reform OF the administrative features OF the
tariff law. which has been carefully fcrmu-
lated as a result OF extensive hearings before
The ways and means committee, will be
brought forward Tuesday. AS the aiminis-
traticn OF the customs laws is largely a
technical matter. concerning which there Is
little general information, the bill probably
will be passed in a day unless a general
tariff discussion IS precipitated. This is not
At all unlikely, In view Of the political ac-
tivity IN the country. The naval apprcpria-
ton bill will follow. The whole question Of
the expediercy of adding 20 the new navy is
involved IN this bill. and It's possibilities as
a subject for debate are very wide. Ii IS not
believed that IL can be disposed OF this week,
but II. by chance. il should. the report of the
e~.ecti3ns committed in fayCr OF unseatirg Mr..
Boatner from the Fifth Louisiana district
viii be called UP.

not sufficient to put a stop TO the firing on

THE MONEY QUESTION BROKEN.
He Wants All Dollars, Whether Of
Gold or Silver, to He Equal In

PITTSBURG, March 15.-The Canton O)
correspondent of the Dispatch says: Ex-
Governor Mckinley Saturday broke the
sphynx-like silence he has held for many
months, when the general public criticism
Of his position on silver ives repeated to him.
He was told that sound money Repub-
licans complained that the Ohio platform,
which he was supposed to nave written. was
too favorable to silver. while the silver Sem
ators all said it was too favorable to the
single gold standard
Governor Mckinley was told thai there
was a universal demand to know where he
really stood. He replied: II have discussed
the question Of currency and coinage in Con-
gress, and my record is plain. Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson once said the people were
willing to chance free and unlimited coin

not prepared TO indulge in any such specu-
lation.

serve gold and silver money side by side.
that 1 did not want gold at a premium, or
silver at a discount, or vice versa, but that
1 wanted both metals to be equal in pur-
chasing power, and in legal tender quality,
equal in power TO perform the functions of
money with which to do the business and
move the commerce of the United States.
My exact views are these" said Governor
Mckinley, as he read from the Congressional
Record the following:
1t is only because of the safe and con-
seryative policy Of the Republican party,
aided by conservative men of both parties.
which has mere than once received the ap-
provai OF the country, that since 1873 we
nave compelled gold and silver TO work
together upon an equality, both employed
as safe means of exchange in the business

they be paper dollars. or gold dollars, or
silver dollars, or treasury notes, each con-

One of his private secretaries said: why
don't you quote Governor Mckinley's Lam
guage recently uttered at Chicago? He has
said that the Republican party would as
soon think Of lowering the flag of our
country as to contemplate with patience or
to degrade or corrupt the medium of ex-
changes among the people. 1t can be re-
led upon in the future as in the past TO
supply the country with the best money
