aCOLD STANDARD A SNAG.
SENATE FRANCE sUBCosfMrTrEE
GETS A MYSrnRroUs WARMING.
Assuranoes from Presidcnt McKin-
ley aAd senator Hanna DO Not
Satisfy the COMMITTEES.

Marian sanssst Pier, July B.--The SUR
committee OF the senate committee on
finance, which has been in session here
since Monday, has struck snag. the
trouble arose when 1t was proposed TO In
sert a provision in the bill committing
the party TO the single gold standard.
Every member OF the committee fayors
such provision, but some one had sent
Tip" that a standard provision
would jeopardize chances of the bill
passing the senate.
Who sent this tip over the wires7 The
committee had passed over this question
In a light and airy manner and was
counting upon the single standard as the
first and most important provision for the
bill The warning to be shy OF the single
gold standard came from trustworthy
and influential source. 1t might have
been fired by Senator Chandler, Senator
Shoup, Senator Warren or some other BIZ
metallist in the senate. The republicans
will have twelve majority in the next SEN
ate, but no one knows how many are for
the single gold standard. Senator'S VOL
colt. Chandler, Shoup, Clark. Warren,
Carter and Mason are all sound repub-
licans, but all favor bimetallism. VIII
they stand for bill committing the party
TO the single gold standard?
It appears that the subcommittee had
gone ahead on the idea that the party
whip could be used to bring recalcltrants
into line, and had been assured by presi
dent Mckinley and Senator Hanna that
there would be no difficulty in passing
bill With the gold standard. They were
taken aback when the Information to be
ware of the gold standard" came to their
notice. Until the committee has positive
assurances that the doubtful senators are
all right" nothing Will be done with the
singla standard.
