SOME SENATORS DISAGREE.
Many Republicans Not Satisfied With
the Dingley Bill.
WILL PROBABLY BE A CAUCUS
1t is Believed That the Administration
Party in the Senate win Decide Against
the Dingley Measure Senator Chand-
Ter Favors a Short Time Loan

WASHINGTON, Nov 25-There is such a
diversity OF opinion among Republican
senator's in the city as to the course to be
pursued at the next session with reference
to the tariff that it is considered quite
probable caucus will be held very early
in the session to decide upon line of ac-
tion. Senator Sherman is still under
stood to hold TO the opinion that the
Dingley bill should and could be passed
at the approaching session, while other
Republican senator's Disagree with him,
some as to the wisdom of the measure
and others as to tho possibility of getting
IL through. 1t Is believed that line of
| action can be agreed upon in a party con-
ference which will be satisfactory to all,
and which when it is once decided upon
will render unnecessary much useless agi-
! tation The indications now are that the
! decision of the caucus will DO against tax
! ing up the Dingley bill.
Senator Chandler said today that he
thought congress should make provision
for a short time loan at the coming session.
Il believe he said, eve can authorize a
short time loan limited to $50, 100000 or
| Sl00,0l0,OO0 Provision may be made for
such loan within n few years If we
have not the money it has to be borrowed,
and IL is offensive to every one to have the
government resort to the roundabout and
evasive methods adopted by Mr., Cleveland
in the loans he has negotiated. Authority
should be given at once for short time
loans so that the government may be
gotten out when it finds itself in a hole. "
| ''Would you make any provision for the
redemption and retirement of the green
| backsY" asked the reporter.
mo, am not in favor of the retirement
of the greenbacks at this time. At present
the banks need them in their reserves. II
they did not have them they would have
to hold their reserves in gold. The thing
to do now is to provide means for getting
money until we can put revenue legisla.
ton into effect. There will have to be an
extra session of the Fifty-tifth congress- in
my Judgment, and we will then enact both
revenue and financial legislation. do not
see how we can accomplish anything as tC
either of these questions at the coming
session.
The senator expressed the opinion that
the next session would be quiet one. "ThC
Republicans are not disposed to crow" hl
said ''and see no opening for rumpu,
except between the silver Democrats ant
the gold Democrats"
He expressed the opinion that the silver
Republicans would be admitted to the
Republican caucus if they wanted to &c
In. 1--WE shall not exclude any senator
who wants to come in, he said.
Speaking for myself, as a Democrat, 81
said Senator Roach, of North Dakota, 81
would not interpose any factious obiec
ton to such tariff legislation as the Re
publican majority might desire to under
take. They say that prosperity is to fol
low Republican supremacy, and am will
ing to let them have a trial, and If it is
successful to give them credit for it. l dc
not know what general policy the Demo
Gratis in the senate may decide upon in
this regard, but those with whom 1 have
talked have not expressed any intention
of opposing the program of the majority
