Subsidies and a silver coin dominate Pan American talks
Washington reports ongoing committee work at the Pan American Congress. Subsidies for steamship lines remain central as US allies seek shared costs, potentially via long term contracts. A possible international coin, likely silver, is debated, with US delegates Estee and Coolidge consulting Mint Director Leech amid uncertainty over material value and parity.

No Duty on Glass Discs for Optical Instruments
The Treasury Department reverses prior stance, allowing free entry of glass discs and plates used to make optical instruments if the surface is polished only to show defects. The decision rests on long standing practice at ports, requires certainty that items are optical glass and intended for instrument manufacture, not lenses.

Windom Silver Bill To Be Considered By Committees
The Windom silver bill will be taken up by both houses committees. The House coinage committee meets secretary Windom tomorrow for a general talk and will hold a hearing Monday for free coinage advocates and others interested. Treasury officials say the revised bill is safer, with a binding provision to limit silver acceptances to products of American mines. It faces likely rough handling in the Senate finance committee.

Silver bill faces uphill committee test in Congress
McPherson of New Jersey, the most conservative Democrat, opposes the bill and doubts it can pass the committee. Radical silver supporters are more against it, saying it grants too much discretion to the secretary and treats silver as a commodity rather than money. The secretary may ease opposition in tomorrow's conference, but the outlook remains unfavorably cautious.

Long and Bitter Debate Over Florida Swamp Land Grant
In Washington on January 14 a lively Senate debate centered on Mr Call's swamp land grant resolutions for Florida. Call claimed much of the land labeled swamp or overflowed was arable, arguing the public lands have been misallocated to Florida and alleging vast fraud. Plumb defended the state’s grants, accusing Call's charges and defending Florida land management and the railroad land dealings. The exchange included sharp personal criticisms, with both sides urging accountability before adjournment.
