Journal Bukead,
Washington, 1). C, Jan. 14. f
Financial topics have been much dis
cussed at the Capitol this week, but il
was not on the floors of the House or
Sunute, but in the committee rooms and
between individual Senators and Repre
sentatives. Early in the week Senator
Chandler started the ball rolling, as it
were, by declaring in the most emphatic
language that he has just had a talk with
President McKinley on the subject, auil
that the President was juBt as good a bi
tneiallist as he (Chandler) was, and that
he had not given up international bimet
allism, but intended to send the commis.
sion to Euiope again at the lirst favora
ble opportunity. Then there was a breezy
little talk in the room ot the Senate Fi
nance committee 'on the resolution of-'
fered by Senator Teller, declaring I'. S
bonds to be payable in silver dollars, ut
the option of the government Consid-
iration of the resolution was' postponed
week. Then there were long financial
talks by ex-Senator Edmauds aud ex-
Secretary Fairchild, members of the mon-
etary commission, before the House com
mittee on Bankiue, and Currency, in
favor of tiie bill prepared and recom
mended by that commission.
If those who favor a retention of the
preseut civil service status really believe,
they say.tlicy do, that the members of
the House who said so many bitter things
during the debate on the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial appropriatiou
bill, which was passed this week, are
satisfied now that thoy have gotten their
peeches in the Record which can he dis
tributed among their constituents, they
e likely to get a rude awakening later
on, llie anus are working liarucr tnan
ever to make converts and are expressing
confidence iu their ability to get their
bill providing for a modified civil service
law before the House, and to pass it,
before the present session closes. Some
of them now express hope that the Presi
dent will not modify the present rules,
because that would weaken them, by
satisfying some who would otherwive
vote for their bill.
Tho outlook for the annexation of
Hawaii through the treaty, whi'-h is now
under discussion by the Senate, is not ns
good as it was a week ago, although the
friends of the treaty are still claiming
that the necessary two-thirds vote will
os obtuined for it. Senators Thurston, of
Nebraska, and Gear, of Iowa, who had
been put down as favoring the treaty,
this week announced their Intention to
vote against Its ratification; and Welling
ton, Maryland; Mason, of Illinois, and
Spooner. of Wisconsin, arc iu doubt as
to how they will vote. Guesses as to how
long the Senate will debate the treaty
before taking a, vote run all the way from
two weeks to three months.
