FREE SILVER MEN
Will Probably Destroy the House
Bond Bill in the Senate.
Thought That They Can Be Persuaded to Let
Tariff Bill Alone.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The Senate com
mittce on finance will hold its first meet
ing since the reorganization, tomorrow
morning. Although final action may not
be taken on either the bond or tariff bill
recently passed by the House. some mem
bers Of the committee will urge speedy &C.
ton, and If possible an immediate report
The best Judgment of the situation in
dicates that the bond bill will be destroyed
in the committee and substitute in the
shape of q free coinage bill reported.
Nothing short Of this will satisfy the sill
YER men on the committee, and as they
have eight votes to five against silver, any
measure that they agree upon can be
easily adopted in the committee
Wolcott Of Colorado, one Of the new men
added to the committees, has not been in
Washington. this winter, owing to i'll
health, but his absence makes little differ
encc, the silver men still having a work
ing majority of two in the committee, and
u clean majority in the Senate of 10 or H.
1t is probable that the tariff bill will BIZ
reported to the SenatRswithout amend
ment. The RSpnbiicaAs have been max
ing every cff0rfSto get together on this
measure, and the Silver Republicans who
will vote for free coinage as a substitute
for the bond proposition, it is believed can
BIZ persuaded to refrain from putting such
amendment in the tariff bill
The Republican leaders hope to see the
bill pass the Senate as 1t came from the
Honse. 1t is believed that the President
will veto it, but itis thought by the Re
pu5licans to be good politics to put the
President where he will be compelled to
veto a measure intended to increase the
receipts and provide an adequate revenue
Whether the Republicans can be lined
up on this proposition and persuaded not
to insist upon amendments, is q question
that noone can answer. !5 is not unlikely
that after the bill is reported, Republi-
can caucus will be held to discuss the sub
ject and agree upon policy.

SOLID WISDOM.
The New York State Assembly Adopts
Very Sensible Resolutions,


Albany, n. Y, jan. 1.-The following
was unanimously adopted by the Senate
and Assembly, today:
at is proper for the Legislature OF the
state Of New York, cenveping at time
questions OF international policy, to clearly
state its position as t9ing always in favor
Of the loyal maintena nee of the right and
dignity of the government Of the United
States.
"Thar it is our Dear conviction that
arbitration is the true, logical, intelligent
humane and hOnorabe 10 method Of settling
differences, especially Between great Chris
tian nations of the vprld.
That In conforiniy as we believe, with
the views Of the peo1le of this state, we
are of the Opinion th&t the arbitrary de-
termination by any European power to
fix the boundaries GIFTS territories on the
continent of America SO as to encroach
upon any neighbor, Gould be an invasion
of the rights Of the pSople OF the country
affected and involve violation of the es-
sential principles of the Monroe doctrine.
"That to avoid the risk OF erroneous
conclusions about matters which the
President has declared still open to in
vestigation, 1t ia our earnest counsel to
await the report Of the commission al
ready empowered by Congress to examine
all facts in the Venezuelan dispute.
THAT, realizing the waste of precious
life, the wreck of financial prosperity, the
horrors which would BIS the inevitable re-
suit of an armed conflict between England
and the United States, we believe that
every honorable means of settling any
possible differences should be resorted to
and exhausted, before the amicable rels-
which, today, stand before the world for
the most advanced civilization, should be
