\VASIIINGTON . Feb. 15.-0plnlons In the
senate vary ns to the influence of the result
of the vote In the house upon the bond bill
upon the future course ot the senate on
the financial ciuestlon. The most generally
expressed opinion on the republican side Is
that the effort wi be 10 render unnecessary
and futile any effort to take up the nnnnclni
question , while democrats ! generally express
the belief that the action of the house will
not control the movements ot the senate In
any way Senator Jones Is outspoken In
ahnounclng his Intent to mO\e to the thlrl
readIng his unrestricted coinage bill before

say just when he wIll make the move lie
has reIterated , however thnt the ant.slver
men wIll have either to allow tim question l
he considered or nlbuster against it . I
appears probable ! In view of the expressions
of some of the morl radical bond allocntes
among the republIcan senators tht
the latter course will be resorted
to tt necessary to prevent a vote.
The silver senators on both sides ot the
chamber proCess to be entirely wiing to test
the strength oC time silver queston on the
Jones bill , bul there are hulctons that
some or them mlghl have opposed 1 vote lad

are , theretore. that some means will be

ably early next week to debate the fnanclul
