have won victory but for several acci-

iePeu w ltn.
Washington. u. c., April 10.-The
final agreement among Democrats, silver
Republicans and Populsts in the Senate
looking to a permanent coalition was
reached at meeting Of representatives
Of those parties, held in Senator Cor
mans committee room at the capitol to-
day. The agreement had it's origin in
the effort to reorganize the Senate COM
mittees, but it is destined apparently to
reach far beyond this situation and in
fact to the future proceedings of the
Senate on all matters, if not to the eX-
tent of shaping party policies throughout
the country.
The silver Republicans say that their
principal incentive in entering the coali-
ton is to protect the Finance committee
which they feared might become an
anti-silver organization IN case the Re-
publicans were allowed to have their own
way in committee organization. If the
Republicans accept the terms which the
combinations will attempt to dictate, the
Republicans will name a man to succeed
Senator Sherman, while the silver COM
bination will name Senator Voohees's
successor. This will ensure the continued
preponderance of silver men on the COM
mittee, while it will not interfere with
the Republican programme on the tariff.
All intention to Interfere with the
passage Of the tariff bill through the
Senate through the coalition OF Demo
Gratis, silver Republicans and Populists,
is denied by the parties to the agree
ment.
$50 far as the Democrats are con-
cerned," said Senator Jones, of Arkan-
sas, who is a member of the Senate
committee on Finance, their plans are
simple and easily understood. 1t is our
purpose to debate the bill thoroughly and
completely so as to show up the, incon-
sistencies and lack of uniformity of
rates in the bill and then to allow the
bill to pass, provided there are votes
enough to pass it,"
''Will you attempt to amend the bill?
1--WE shall, in all probability, offer
amendments making the bill conform to
our ideas of fairness and uniformity.
am not prepared to say that we shall Of
fer any amendment providing for the
free coinage of silver, but so far as
am concerned, / should think that our
party would support amendments look
ing to the suppression of the trusts so
far as that can be done in a tariff BILL"
The Republican Senators are not in
clined to credit the reports of a coalition
against them in the Senate and say
furthermore that the Senators present
had no authority to represent their par
ries and that the agreemnt cannot be
made binding.

NEXT WEEK, DEAD SURE.


Another Solution of the Judgeship Mys-
terry, With Skinner in the Lead-Then
any Old Thing May Happen.
& ,sn r,
Washington, April 10.-(Special)-T
North Carolina Republican members of
congress and Senator Pritchard will have
q conference Tuesday to settle, il possi-
Bile, the controversy over the judgeship.
Messrs. Robinson, Allen, Timberlake,
and Settle, all of whom are candidates
for the place, are now in the city. The
appointment will probably be made some
time next week. The leading candidates
are supposed to be Price and Robinson,
but there is some talk of James h. Boyd
and Governor Russell. 1t is said that if
Skinner would have it, he would get it,
but he is handicapped by his endorsement
Of Timberlake. If an Eastern man is
agreed upon, it will mean that Judge
Dick is to be retired at an early day
so that Price may get his place. The
retirement of Judge Dick is real impor-
tant factor in the problem.
Messrs. Moody and West, of Waynes-
Vile, arrived here last night. J. Wiley
Shook has secured an appointment in
connection with the Senate. His threat
TO run for Congress against Pearson
seems to haveborne early fruit.
The Asheville postofice muddle seems
likely to give Pritchard and Pearson a
good deal of trouble. If Rollins should
be confirmed the fight against him will
be transferred to his endorsers.

KNOCKS HIS SOCKS. OFF
JERRY SIMPSON TAKES ANOTHER
FLYER AT REED.
a, Political Pot-Pourri Started by
Ding!e,'s Reiteration of Reeds
Tirranicai Policy

Washington, April 10.-The House
coul not resist the temptation to indulge
in political debate to-day, as it had no
business on hand. Interest was focused
upon Mr.. Simpson, of Kansas, who had
announced a determinat to obstruct
any legislation attempted without the pre-
sence of quorum. Hls policy was frus-
trated because the quorum appeared.
Mr.. Simpson found an opportunity, how
ever, to reiterate his denuncia ton of a
concentration Of power in the Speaker S
hands. Mr.. Dingley declared the Re
publican policy to be TO do nothing but
enact the tariff and leftover appropria-
tions bills this session. Mr.. Bailey, the
Democratic leader, favored giving the
Republicans a free hand.
In the course of discussion on the
business before the House, Mr.. Dingley
said that the session was called for a
specific purpose, to provide sufficient rev.
enue to carry on the government. The
House had acted On that suggestion. As
there seemed nothing else to do.
"We are not inclined to insist upon the
Republican party legislating," said Mr..
Bailey. 1--WE feel that the country suf-
fers when the Republican party legis-
lates. We have contended this all our
lives and we sincerely believe it. We
have no desire to urge the Rpublican
party to make laws but we desire to un-
derstand their policy"
Mr.. Simpson said the country was de-
manding financial legislation and the Re
publican party should be given a chance
to show what it could do, and should not
sit idly for two or three months. He
then repeated his recent attack on the
Speakers power, declaring that the mem
bers Of the House by giving him auto
cratic power disfranchised the consti-
uents who had elected them.
After Mr.. Simpson had subsided, the
House drifted into a somewhat perfume
tory political discussion.
The debate for the Democrats was con-
cluded by Mr.. Bailey. He said the Re
publicans had declared before the cleo
ton that the country needed only the
restoration of confidence which the re-
turn of the Republican party to power
would bring. If they succeeded in res
toring prosperity the Democratic party
mi ghs as well make no nominations for
the next election. If the Republicans
failed they might as we'll make no nomin-
ations. He was so confident that they
would fail that he wanted to give them
every opportunity to demonstrate what
they could do.
Mr.. Mahon, Republican, PENN, as
sured the Democrats that the Republi-
can party would take care of the financial
question as it had of all other questions.
At Ito p. m, the House adjourned
until Wednesday.
