New York, April 2S.-Reports that a

Washington. April 27.-There was some
discussion today in the senate committee
on postofficves and post roads of the bill
introduced by Senator Chandler to provide
for popular loan through postal savings

The measure provides for the issuance of
postal savings notes of $50 and 500. pay

to avoid a bond issue if possible The
postal savings bill was also under consid-
GRAFTON. and the opinion was expressed
that the committee would be able TO re-
port upon this measure after one or more
meetings.

it is denied at headquarters that any

Mission Ridge. Drilling of infantry

TRIUMPH OF BONDS.
Even In the Senate, Opposition Will
Not Avail.


Not Avail.
Washington, April 27-While there is
no doubt that the senators of all par
ties. who advocate the free coinage Of
silver, will oppose the bond feature Of
the war revenue bill, the present pros
pect is that they will not seek TO delay
its passage on account of that provi-
sion. Senators Teller, Pettigrew and
Butler all express the opinion todav
that this would be the course pursued.
Senator Jones of Arkansas declined 10
express any opinion, saying there had
been no exchange of views upon it
among the Democratic senators.
The bond provision will probably be
stricken out of the bill in the commit
tee on finance and restored in the SEN
ate. The full Democratic strength of
the finance committee is relied upon to
oppose the provision.
Senator Jones of Nevada ISL. Rep)
is counted upon to support motion to
eliminate the bond feature. His vote
would be decisive as he holds the b2l
ance of power in the committee. In the
event that the bill is reported to the
senate without the bond clause, the
Republicans will move 10 reinssrt 1t
after it is reported. and in this they

soon succumb. Its defenses are in a
wretched state. The Americans in the
Philippines are anxious to see British
rule established there, and the report
has been favorably received. The Ma

thousand rebels does not affect the
virtue of the race, and they haughtily
add that the Philippines will prove wor-
