I'VE assume uhat President Mckinley
does not wish his hand to be forced by

war with Spain because his heart is set
upon promoting the economical and COM
merclal development OF the United States.
Yet Il seems doubtful whether he will
prove strong enough to resist the pres
sure brought to bear upon him, one OF
the usual kaleidoscope changes in Amer
lean politics has Just been effected. The

than It was two days ago and the govern
ment is not any stronger An accident

STRUGGLE IN THE HOUSE.


Washington. Jan. n.-There was a par
llamentary struggle in the house today
over the bill for the relief OF the book pub
lhahing company Of the Methodist Epis-
eopai Church South which was before
the house last Friday. BY shrewd ma
noeuvering it's opponents succeeded IN
preventing action today.
Previous TO the consideration OF this
bill the house passed b.l to extend the
public land laws OF The United States to
the territory OF Alaska and to grant a
general railroad right OF way through the
territory.
The urgent deficiency bill was sent to
conference after the silver forces. with
some outside aid, had succeeded in con-
curing in the senate amendments and
striking from the bill the provisions re-
quiring deposltors of bullion at the gov
ment assay offices to pay the cost Of
transportation to the mints.
The debate soon drifted into discus
sion OF silver as Il did on former occas-
ions. Cannon submitted a modified prop
osition having clause providing that a
depOsitOr of bullion should pay the cost
OF transportation to the nearest mint. 1t
was defeated
The senate amendment TO strike out the
whole Of the provision was then agreed
to without a division in committee Of the
whole. Cannon gave notice that he would
demand the aye and no vote In the house.
The committee vote was confirmed on
yea and no vote in the house--iA to liz.
The bin was sent back to the confer
ence and the vote was considered sIgnifi-
cant. as there was to certain extent. an
