ATTITUDE OF SILVER MEN.
They VIII Oppose the bond Feature of the

Washington, April 27.--Whlle there
is no doubt that the senators of all
parties who advocate the free coinage

of the war revenue bin the present
prospect is that they WIN not seek TO
delay Its passage on account OF that
provision. Senators Teller. Pettlgrew
and Butler all express the opinion TO.
day that this would be the course pur-
sued. Senator Jones of Arkansas de-
clined to express any opinion, saying
there had been no exchange of views
upon Ii among the Democratic sena-
tors.
The bond provision will probably he
stricken out Of the bill In the commit
tee on finance and restored In the Sem
ate. The full Democratic strength
OF the finance committee is relied upon
TO oppose the provision.
Senator Jones OF Nevada tSilver
Rep) is counted upon to support mo-
ton to eliminate the bond feature.
His vote would be decisive, as he holds
the balance of power in the commit
tee. In the event that the bill is re.
ported to the Senate without the bond
clause. the Republicans will move to
retnsert It after II Is reported and in
this they hope to succeed with the
assistance OF several Democrats The
silver Republicans and Populists plan Ia
to let the majority pass the bill in this
shape that suits them. after COM
parntiveiy brief debate They will,
fnd occasion TO state their position ex-
plicitly. making clear their opposition
to bonds, but win not attempt to delay
the passage OF the measure.
There will he an effort to amend the
bill in committee by adding a provi-
sion for an income tax.
