 The determination was reached by the leaders in the House of Representa- tives to-day that the Teller resolution for the payment of bonds in silver. passed by the Senate last night. should be disposed of by the House on Mon day, in order that the attitude of that branch of Congress might be placed be- fore the country immediately. This conclusion was reached after numerous conferences between Speaker Reed Chairman Dingley of the Ways and Means Committee, DalzelI and Hender- son of the Rules Committee and other Influential mem bers of the House. Late in the day the resolution, which had come over from the Senate, was re- ferred by the Speaker to the Ways and Means Committee, and Chairman Ding ley at once gave notice of a special meeting of the committee at 10:30 Mon oay morning. At the same time he notified Democratic members of the committee what his general purpose was, substantially as follows: The reso- lution will be considered by the com mittee on Monday and an adverse re- port made on 1t. No amendment or change in the phraseology will be made. but the adverse report will be on the resolution as 1t stands. This will be submitted to the House when it con Venes on Monday, and plans made to dispose of the matter before the days session closes.
 AS to the procedure on the floor. Dingley made no prediction. beyond saying that 1t was proposed to dispose Of the subject on Monday. This will doubtless require a special rule as to debate. basis for such a rule was presented to-day by Dalzell in the form Of resolution providing that the reso- lution be considered immediately after the report of the Ways and Means Committee. The committee will prob ably be ready to report by 12 o'clock so that under the Dalzell resolution the debate will begin shortly after noon. It is probable that before the House assemblies the Dalzell resolution will be so arranged as to shape the hours of debate and set time for a vote.
 The determination to bring the sub 5ect to an immediate issue gave gen eral satisfaction among the majority of the members. Some had desired to put aside all other business to-day and vote down the Teller business before the week closed. e Representative Johnson of Indiana took the lead in urging this movement. It was finally TeSO- lution go to the Ways and Means Committee with the direct assurance of Chairman Dingley that the issue would be pressed to a conclusion on Monday.
 Soon after Speaker Reed reached the Capitol he was called on by members of the Rules Committee with a view to determining what course should be adopted. Chairman Dingley, the floor leader, favored reference to the Ways and Means Committee. and gave assur- ances that prompt action would be taken, doubtless by an adverse report to the House. This view was shared by Dalzell and Henderson of the Rules Committee.
 A strong feeling developed. however. for immediate action without the usual reference to committee. Represen- tatfVe Johnson of Indiana, member of the Currency Committee, called on the Speaker and urged this line of ac- tion. He said that the House should act to-day, thus giving an immediate answer to the country to offset the ac- ton of the Senate last night. Delay even for few days, he urged. would permit the silver majority in the Sen ate to secure prestige before the country, % which they would not have if the House acted immediately He asked that the views of the other mem- bers on that proposition be secured 70 and Johnson interviewed a number Wno favored prompt action.
 In the meantime the resolution came over from the Senate and was laid aside temporarily until a definite line or action could be agreed upon The current or sentiment was for a refer ence to the Ways and Means Commit tee, the understanding being that this committee might not wait until the usual weekly meeting next Wednesday, but would have special meeting early Tn the week in order to make an ad- verse report.
 There was some talk that the reso luton offered gave the opportunity to engraft upon it an amendment clearly defining the views of the majority in the House, and some urged that this course should be pursued. This did not meet with favor, however as if threat ened a possible division in the major ity, while it was said that the solid Re publican vote, not including the avowed Silver Republicans, would be given to an adverse report.
 After further conference DaIzeu in- troduced the following resolution:
 Resolved, That immediately upon the report to the House by the Commit concurrent resolution No. g (Teller resolution) it shall be in order to pro- ceed to the consideration of said re- port"
 This was referred to the Rules Com mittee, and will serve as the basis oi a special rule, fixing the time and Him. its of the debate, if this course is con- sidered desirable. As Dalzell is a mem Der of the Rules Committee. his reso- luton was regarded as showing a pur- pose to have the question disposed O1 Immediately after the Ways and Means Committee reported.
