IILAND'8 DIFFICULTY. He I* I'nahle to <«et a Majority Report For Free Coinage. Washington, May 8.—Representative Bland's hopes of reporting a free coinage bill are considerably interfered with by the continued absence of Representative Allen of Mississippi, member of the coinage committoe. Mr. Allen is a free silver man, ..nd if he had been present at the committee meeting last Thursday it would have given Mr. Bland a margin of one vote necessary to report the bill. But without him the committee was a tie, with prospects of remaining no. To meet the emergency Mr. Bland has secured a letter from Mr. Allen stating that the latter desired to vote to report the bill. But this move has been offset by Representatives Tracy and Harter with objections to all proxy voring. Thus the free coinage bill is at a standstill until Mr. Allen returns, and even then the anti silver men hint that another absentee will further postjione the reporting of the bill.
