THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TITUHSDAY. JANUARY 9 , 1890. Not Likely to Veto Together to Amend the Bovcnue Bill , CHANCES OF PASSAGE CONSIDERED POOR Cn.iritH Took Up the IteorRnnlrnlloii of Mi'itnttr Ollloc hut Adjourned Wit ho tit Tn kin or Any Action. WASHINGTON , Jan. 8. The feature of the republican senatorial caucus held to day wan a discussion of the advisability of amending the house tailff bill by adding n free coinage amendment to It In the nate. This discussion was confined largely to the tree coinage wing of the party. The result of the meeting was the adoption of Senator Quay's resolution , Introduced yesterday , ex pressing the ( tense of the caucus to be that the finance committee rhould report th ; bill as It came from the bouse with a few verbal changes , which will not alter the meaning of the measure In any cu-entlnl feature. There was no roll call upon this , but there were a tow dissenting voices. There was no formal effort to bind thn senators to support the bill when It should come before- the senate , and It was left open to amendments at that stage of the proceed ings. It wap while the advisability of attempting to secure n pledge ? of support was under consideration that the ellver question came up. It was sprung by a question as to what the sllvr republicans would do In case a free silver amendment should be offered to the tariff bill In , the senate. Sena tor Mitchell ot Oregon was the first to re- npond to this Inquiry , He stated that hu should Join the > I'll ver forces In the effort to secure the adoption of the free coinage substitute for the Imurc bond bill , but that with the silver question disposed of In that connection , he would advlso that the sil ver republicans refrain from participating In any effort that might be made to amend the tariff bill by adding a free coinage pro vision. Senator Carter followed In the sams line of argument , advising united action on the part ot the silver republicans in opposition to such an amendment In the ercnt of the previous patyage of the silver substitute for the band bill. Ho said that ho thought their action on the bond bill would bu a mifllclent Indication to the country of their attitude. Ho did not Ray that ho would oppose such on amendment by his vote In case of failure to secure concerted and unani mous action by his silver colleagues , but urged thorn strenuously to agree to this line of action. Senator Teller announced his Intention to vote for a silver amendment It offered from any t-ourco without announcing any pur- pot a of presenting such an amendment him self. He talked very earnestly on the sub ject , saying that ho had , when the McKlnloy bill was before congress In 1S90 , foregone the opportunity to amend that measure with a free coinage provision on the representa tion that the bill with such an amtndment would bQ vetoed , only to bo told afterward 'by thfv friends of that bill that the Sher man s , vcr bill was passed as the only hope of defeating fiee coinage. He declared he would not again bo placed In that predlca- .mont. Brief ppfechcs were also made on thly feature of the question by Senators Duboi ? , Mantle. Shoup and others. There was a sufficiently general expression among the silver senators to show that there were not to exceed a half dozen who would hold out against unanimous agrcomt.nt to refrain from voting for a silver apiendmcnt , and this allowing was such as to lead the anti-silver men in the caucus to conclude that If those who had expressed themselves against the policy of amendment could be Induced to vote against these amendments , regardless ot the action of their colleague ? , they could defeat a sliver amendment when ottered. Senator Baker announced himself as 'friendly'to ' the proposition to coin the Ameri can silver product , and said lie would offer an amendment to till" effect to both the bond and the tirltt bills. Mr. Baker also reiterated hla declaration of yesterday to disregard the Instructions of the caucus nnd vote against the bill unless amended on protection lines. There was n general expression of opinion that the bill , whither amended or unamended In the senate , never would become a law. Several senators expressed the opinion that It could not receive executive sanction. After the conclusion of the tariff bill dis cussion an effort was made to proceed to the consideration of the reorganization of the senate by the election of general of ficers , but the meeting adjourned without taking up this proposition. Immediately after adjournment a. call was clruclated for a caucus tomorrow to consider this question , and It Is understood that a sufficient number of signatures was received to Insure a cau- cu ? for that purpose at the time specified. COMIIINH AGAINST FHKE SILVnil. Aiitlm Four Short of n Majority ivlth Several Doubtful Votex. WASHINGTON , Jan. 8. The anti-silver democrats ot the ssnato held a meeting or conference today while the republican senators were In caucus. The object of the conference was to count how many men could bo mus tered against the free coinage amendment of the tMnate finance committee to the bond bill. It was found that there are fourteen votes on the democratic side against the Oliver proposition , nnd the democrats wcro assured there wcro twenty-six republicans who could bo counted against the Jones amendment. This would mak ? forty In all. Four moro vote ? would be necesjary to make a majority of the .senate. Both democratic and republican anti-silver men are now mak ing an effort to ECO If ihes ? four votes can bo obtained. Among the republicans who arc not counted In the twenty-six anti-silver list , and upon whom nn effort will bo made , are Senators McBride of Oregon and Wilson of Washington. On the democratic side are Senators Bacon and Gordon of Georgia , and Mnrtln of Virginia. It Is not known with what the anti-silver men are working , but they tuy the vote will bo very close and that perhaps free coinage may be defeated. The democrats counted ugslnst the bill are : Brlco , Caffery , 7aulkner , Gibson , Gorman , Gray , Hilt. Llydtuy , Mills , Mitchell , Murphy , Pal- nu > : , Smith and Vllas. DivldliiK l'l ' > Appropriation Worlt. WASHINGTON , Jan. 8. Chairman Cannon ot the house committee on appropriations has appointed nub-committees , which will have charge- preparation of the various appropriation bllU , They are : Sundry civil , WASHINGTON , Jan. S. Ths Navy depart ment took steps tod-ay to learn how speedily all the monitors now under construction could bo equipped for oervlce In case of emergency. The various bureau chiefs were consulted and reports made ao to the- length of time each branch of work required. From this It appears that th ? low free-board monitor Monadnock. now at Mars Island , will be ready by February 1. Th ? Mlantonomah , a double turreted monitor now out ot commis sion at League Island , con be ready for serv ice In fourteen days. The testing of her pneumatic stesrlng apparatus Is about the only feature requiring time. The low free board monitor Terror , now at New York , will require sixty days to be made ready for earvlce. Theeo thro ? craft will make a powerful acquisition to the available naval vessels. They are fully equipped ] with armor and the few days required for making them ready fcr o a. will b ? spent on minor finish ing touches. It Is expected also that the ram Katahdln will be ready for service at an early day. The department is In com munication with the Bath Iron works as to certain minor change ?

S. The iccretary of the navy today sent to the senate a reply to the resolution asking tor lilt opinion ai to whether It would be advantageous to the naval service to contract for tHx battle ships InKead of for the two authorized , on the basis of the bids now before the de partment. The secretary says the two ships authorized have already bosn contratced for , and that the department doe * not deem It advisable to recommend that any bids al ready received and not accepted should bo further considered. He Is nf the opinion on the contrary that the building of other ship ! should ba open to competition. HP thinks there would be no necesi'Ity for de- liy In getting bids on other new ships , as the department's plans for butleships are familiar to the shipbuilders In the country. Ho thinks ten days' notlco would be suf ficient time. The secretary alto renewed his recom mendation that the building of at least twelve new torpedo boats be authorized , and recommends that If till ? action bo taken the number which any one contractor may build may not be made too small , for the reason that If they are- awarded In largs lots they can be built at cheaper prices. He also recommends that If the additional torpedo boats nro authorized , permission bo given to build them of different sizes , and that the limit to the rest of the vessels ha made In the aggregate Instead of on the Individual boats. It , lie says , decision ru > to the di mensions of the several boats be given to the department , they may bo built ot various slzfei , and it would thus , bo possibl : to give S3H10 ot them a greater rate cf speed than would he possible If nil were of the same size and all cost the svimo amount. i.vcitnA.si : ix Tim NAVAL roncn. tllll Reported In tin * .Semite * to Pro vide for Etuerirenelex. WASHINGTON , Jan. 8. Senator Hale today reported from the committee on naval affairs an original bill authorizing the en listment of additional men. The bill was prepared at the Navy department and was sent to the naval committee with a letter from Secretary Herbert , giving the depart ment's reasons for desiring the legislation. The hill authorizes the enlistment ot 1,000 additional men , and also extends to the president the discretion to increase the en listment from the naval reserve Indefinitely In ca& ? of exigency. , The secretary says In his statement to file committee that the number of men authorized by existing law Is barely fufllcient to equip the vessels which are at any time In commission. . "If , " ho adds , "a new vessel Is to be sent to sea some ship In the service must go out of com- inhslon and the enlisted men on one trans ferred to the other. If by reason of any public exigency It should become necessary to place all the vessels of our navy In actual service at the same time It would be Im- posilble to do so for want of crews to nun them. Considering the constantly recurring en ergencies of the service and the number of vessels" soon to bo completed , the urgent necessity for the enlistment of 1,000 addi tional men becomes obvious. " Mr. Herbert says that the second provision nf the bill is Intended to make reasonable provision for emergencies which may at any moment occur and which might arise when congress was not In session.

The treasury today lost $430,000 In gold bars , which leaves the true amount of the reserve $57,802,204 Nothing Is known at the Treasury depart ment , so far as can be learned , of any con certed movement by bankers to protect the ' reserve by making gold deposits , and up to the hour of closing , the statement published yesterday that Zimmerman & Forshay , bul lion dealers cf New York , had depositci $500,000 , had not been verified by Assistant Treasurer Jordan. In fact , the only consid erable deposit during the last several weeks was made yesterday by the Mercantile Na tional bank , which exchanged $500,000 In gold for currency. So far as can bo learned , the situation shows no signs of Improvement and no surprise would be felt here If heavy shipments of gold should be made on each of the fast going European steamers for some time to come. Arrangements are being perfected at the treasury for the printing of the new bonds , and a number of applications for blanks to be used In making bids are being received by each mail. No formal bids have been yet received. The treasury deficit for the present fiscal year today reached $20,039,439. HEPUIH.ICAN SENATORS IN LINE.

ARMOR PLATE MAIIU A POOH SHOW. Not Only Crnekeil , lint Ilrolteii Into Three Ple.ciM. WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. A test of 015 tons ot naval armor plaife , representing the bar- balto armor of the battle ship Iowa and the turrets of the cruiser1 Brooklyn , was made at Indian Head proving ; ground today. An eight-Inch plate wa ? usctd as a representa tive of the entire { cup. A shot was fired ' from a six-Inch gun , the projectile being a six-inch Wheeler sltel 'pointed shell , fired with a velocity of WOO 'feet , The condition of the test was that the plate should with stand all the effects of , the shot , but It failed ' ' to meet requirements' . The plate- was not only cracked , but 'brokp'n Into three large plecss , rendering ltjueritlilely worthless. The officers present consfddred the plate the worst ever offered for the test. The result necessitates the terftporary rejection of the entire grtiup of armor of which this plau was representative , but n further test vlll be made on another plate , as the Carnegie company has the right under the contrast tea a second test.
