TO TALK IT TO DEATH.

SILVER MEN DECLARE WAR ON LOAN CERTIFICATES. May Kill Scßilry Civil Kill —Hon** Democrat* Hill Inaiat Upon Fulfil.lug Contract With Loud Syndicate —News of tha Capital. Washington, Feb. 21. —The silver met) have determined to fight the proposition for certificates of indebtedness in the sundry civil bill and will carry their opposition to such lengths as will pretent the bill becoming a lav/ if it Is retained. A conference of silver senators upon this subject last evening developed great opposition to the certificate proposition and a pui pose of talking the bill to death in case. the loan amendment was retained. The possibility that the senate will send the sundry civil bill back to the house with the amendment authorizing the secretary of the treasury to issue certificates of indebtedness is not yet stirring much discussion in the house. The members of the appropriations committee, who will be the conferees upon the bill, say that if the secretary of the treasury wants the authority they are willing to give it to l;irn. The statement of the secretary that the provision will not be needed has its weight with tne administration democrats but not with the republicans, many of whom say they will support the amendment. At will be opposed by the democrats, however, if the clause compelling luture issues of 1 onds to be offered at public sale be retained. That is cons*! ued to be a prohibition against fulfilling the agreement in the recent contract to offer to the syndicate any bonds issued before Oct. 1. Democratic members who are on the best terms with President Cleveland do not hesitate to say that he would veto the sundry civil bill rather than have it become a law with such a stipulation incorporated in It.
