' unyielding Opposition to Coinago of Seigniorago. _ Washington, June 9.--—The Senate’s confrerees on the war revenue bill are showing a. surprising stubbornness in connection wit-h the coinage of the-seig- niorage. Instead of yielding graceful- ly, as it was supposed they woulddo, to the demands of the House confre- rees, the Senate confrerees are holding out for this iniquitous scheme that has been thrown as a sort of pap to the western free silver senators. The friends of sound money, how- ever, have valiant champions in the House confrerees, who are standing firmly and unyieldingly in Opposition to the coinage of the seigniorage and it is thought the Senate confrerees will be forced to yield: _ It is probable that the bill will be out of conference by Friday morning. The Chilton amendment ext-ending the pro- visions in regard to proprietary medi- cines and other articles Will most like- 1y be knocked out in conference. Among the changes that have been practically agreed upon by the con— frerees is one in the beer tax provision,. making it definite that the stuff on hand exempted should be the stock in the hands of dealers and not Of brew- ers. The confrerees were engaged yester« day in discussing the amendment re- ferring to a license tax Of $12 a year on insurance agents. Doubtiess the. con- frerees will, decide to remit the tax. Senator Hanna, when asked whether the Republican sound money victory in Oregon’ ou'ght net to have the effect Of strengthening those confrerees who are opposed to the coinage of the reign- iorage, replied: “I certainly think that it ought." ‘ Capt. Philip’s Reported Death a Fake.

The senator, visiting the White House, in- formed some of the functionaries there of What he had read, and from that point it spread all over as a White House confirmation. At the navy department considerable indignation is feit at the report of Cap- tain Philip's - death, the department saying that no basis whatever for it" exists and that it is calculated need- lessly to alarm his family and friends.
