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.
