WASHINGTON, March 27.-The
Republicans are. according to an au-
torty the reliability of which is un-
questioned, now making preparations
to put In effect one of the boldest
plans they have ever attempted. This
plan Is nothing more nor less than
one contemplating the capture of
Western free silver States which went
for Bryan In 1896 and 1900, by using
Mr. bryan's own free silver policies.
In brief, 1t contemplates the inclu-
sion in the bill for the government of
the Philippines, now under considera-
ton by that committee, of provision
authorizing the mints of the United
States to coin into Americana Philip
pine dollars all the silver that may be
Drought to the mints for that purpose.
If this provision Is enacted into law
1t will enable the holders of silver
bullion In the West 10 ship to .ae
Philippines an unlimited amount Of
money. According to the ideas OF the
Republicans two important results will
be achieved by such plan. There
will be no lack of money In the Phil
and there will be In the Western States
a unanimous opinion in favor OF per-
manentiy retaining the islands II the
Philippines are to be the recipient of
all the American silver that can be
coined Ii is thought that strong pres

the silver States.
In other words. the Republicans be-
lieve that II their plan is gotten
through, these same silver States will
be found in the Republican columns
at The next election.
Il is claimed that the Investigations
Of the Senate committee have demon
