NATIONAL CAPITAL, Senator Stewart of Nevada Introduces His Free-Coinage Bill the First - Thing in the Senate. Renresentative Wilson bas had a con sultation with the Commissioner of In dian Affairs, iroine over the articles o aveement with the Uoiviile indi ns tor the ccs-ion of a portion of tlietr large reservation. . ; Senator Mitchell has introduced number of bills. Among them was his old boat-railway bill, appropriating 8tS0,356 for l.u lding a railwayaround the dalles. This passed st the last session. Also the payment of (3.783 to Astoria for property taken for a public building. The Senntor has a number of other measures which he intends to put in as soon as he unds time An effort is being: made to consolidate all appropriations with the com rait toe in the House. ..This is in the direction of sealing down ail appropriations to tha smallest possible amount. It is not lia ble to occur, however, as there are too manv members who are looking for an nroprintions for rivers and harbors, In dian affairs and other interests, who who would not feel like trusting their interests with one appronriations coin mittee, especially if Objector Holman was to be Chairman, which now aeenii probable. : Senator Allen did not introduce the Washington State public-buildings bills, as it was deemed best to hold them un til the delegation had a consultation as to the best plan to pnrsue. . Representa tive Wilson does not believe in the site plan, and thinks that the bill may be put throuKh for a building in one town. and he naturally wants it at Spokane, The other cities are somewhat ambi tious, but there is no possibility of get ting four site bills through. That waa tried last winter, and it will meet with more opposition in this Congress. The order for introducing bills in the Senate had been scarcely uttered when Stewart, of Nevada, was np with his free coinage bill. Whether it will pass the Senate or not is not known. The statement is made that enough Demo cratic Senators, who last year favored free coinage, will oppose it this year and prevent it from going through, but it is hard to see how such action can be pre vented unless the Republicans arrange the finance committee in such shape as to smother any silver bill. It is gen erally conceded that the house will pass a free coinasre bill and that President Harrison will have to disapprove of such measure before the conventions nominate Presidential candidates.
