Matters.
Special to Tu AaToniA.x.l
Wasiumjton, April 23. Republican
members of the house held a caucus
to-night, and heard the report of the
sub-committee on the silver question.
Conger, of Iowa, reported that an
agreement had been reached by the
sub-committee, and reported a bill
covering all the amendments agreed
to. The bill provides for the purchase
of four and a half million ounces of
silver bullion per month; that bullion
certificates be redeemable in lawful
certificates of theXJ. S., but no greater
or lesser amount of notes shall be out
standing at any time than the cost of
the silver bullion in the treasury; pro-.
vided that tho secretary of the
treasury, in his discretion may ex
change for such note3 an ntmmnt of
sdver which shall be equal in value,
at market prices on the day qf the
exchange of the notes. The bill
allows the secretary to purchase
both foreign and domestic bullion,
also repeals the provisions of the pres
ent law, which requires a coinage of
not less than two millions each mouth.
The bill as reported was discussed for
an hour or more and finallyngrced to,
with only six dissenting votes.
Morrell pension service bill was
also endorsed by the caucus.
Lodge's national law was also dis
cussed and endorsement urged by its
author, but without action on this,
the caucus adjourned to meat next
Tuesday.
Senator Teller was the only one to
dissent from the bill agreed upon by
the sub-caucus committee. He says
ho will not support any bill which
gives to the secretary of the treasury
the option of redeeming certificates in
bullion. He will, when the bill conies
to the senate, make a determined
effort lo secure free coinage of Mlver,
and work hard to hive certilicites
made legal teuder.

President Holcomb, Supt Choate and
other big officials of the road are
there. The men demand an increase
of pay, a uniform schedule of wages
for the entire system, and longer lay
over hours. On these propositions
they are very determined. It is judged
by the mysterious manner in which

CHINA AND TACOMA.
more Talk of the New Steamer
Line.
Special to The Astorian.
New York, April 23. A director of
the Northern Pacific said this morning,
'the proposed line between China and
Tacoma by the Pacific Mail and
Northern Pacific, will undoubtedly be
carried out If it should fail, some
other plan of the same general results
will be considered by the railroad.
Direct connection with China is now a
necessity. If not obtained one way, it
will be "another. The company pre
fers to have the shipping business in
tho hands of an organized steamship
company, and not to get into the
steamship business itself. Hunting
ton's objections ought not to be an in
surmountable obstacle."
One of the most influential directors
of the Pacific Mail confirmed this
statement, and said "Huntington can
not stop the proposed deal, if the
board believes it to be for the best in
terest of the steamship company to
carry it through. In fact, the idea of a
new line partly grew from the fact that
Huntington had used the Pacific Mail
largely for liis own ends, and it was to
put a stop to unfairness and breaches
of faith, that the proposition was first
made. The Pacific Mail has no inten
tion of discontinuing San Francisco as
a terminus, but merely proposes to
secure Tacoma as a second terminus."
