wAsHxoroS. June 2i.-Frye. In tho Ju-
dietary Committee. when the Caldwell Dis
patches were under discussion yesterday,
askcd Knott what he expected 10 prove BY
investigating them. II Il was TO establish
the fact that the Caldwell dispatch was not
genuine, then Just the reverse Was fully
proved. II ID was TO establish that u had
been suggested from this side 10 Caldwell
that he should telegraph. then. the fact
being conceded. IL Was OF no possible value
or significance. for nothing wS more CON-
mon than 10 send to . witness an AFFIDAVIT
or deposition, fully prepared. for him to
sign. and this was the utmost extent that
had been suggested to Caldwell. II IT, were
sought 70 connect Blalne's name In any
way with the dispatches to Caldwell. II
was evidently q failure. for not . particle
Of proof In support Of that superstition had
been adduced. Frye insisted that the main
thing Was 10 find out vhethsr CALDWELL had
actually sent the dispatch 10 Knott. IND
that. he understood. was now fully conced-
ed and denied by no one.
The silver Qssssiss.
wAsHISorox. June 2i.-In the course Of
the debate on the Silver bill to-day bar
gent said the trade dollar was at . greater
| discount In California than ordinary sub
| sidiary silver coin. The trade dollar was
worth but ninety cents, while Subsidiary
| silver coin Was n~inety-four and ninety-hve
| cents. There was q general protest In this
section against these trade dollars.
Sherman said he thought $40, 000. 900 In
| silver coin should be issued insteat Of $l0,-
OOO, 900, though he did not want 10 en-
| danger the passage Of the bill by offering
that amendment II ID would cause debate;
but II the Senate should unanimously pass
Hneh an amendment he had no doubt the
House would agree 10 II. He then sub
mitted an amendment 10 strike out $10,.
100000. and insert In lieu thereof $20,-
OO0, 0O0.
sargent objected. and Sherman Withdrew
his amendment. In doing 10 he had M
doubt that the Senator from California
would regret having made objection. ~ In
his (Sherman'sj opinion there would be \
want Of change In the country before the
next session u Congress, and II woald be .
mistake for Congress ~ adjourn the ses-
sion without providing for the demand for
small change.
Sargent said that II the amount was In
creased to $40. 0O0. 900 the result would be
