The Horrors Of the War-A Re.
lief Train From AdrianODle.

LONDON, Jan. 2l.-Ths Daily TeIe-
graph prints tho following under the
date OF Constantinople yesierday:-"Mr.
Master, agent Of the English relief fund,
has just arrived here with q train full OF
Refugees from Adrianople. These
unhappy people have been In open cat
tle-trucks three days. Many perished
from the cold weather. Last night
fifteen were found dead in the trucks.
The sufierinss of al are described as
awful. Mothers are reported in their
frenzy TO have thrown away living babies
rather than see them die In their arms.
As the train moved from Adrianople
numbers of people tried to cling to the
outside and framework of the carriages,
and many attempted 70 ride on the buff
fers. AT one station, where hundreds
OF people had congregated without food
for two days, the men threatened Mr..
Master with violence If bread was not
given to them. Yesterday there were
10000 women and children out In the
snow at ChaFlou. Three trains full are
hourly expected TO arrive at Constantine
pie 1t is not known where they will find
shelter. The snow is several inches
deep, and is still falling. The cold is
intense. All that can possibly be done
Is being effected by the administrators
OF the relief fund, but many lives are
being sacrificed"

Darger, OF the Beaver district. author
lziDg the coinage of standard silver
dollar. and to provide for the legal
tender Qualities of gold and silver, in.
troduced by him into the House TO-
DAY, attracted much attention. The
measure is the result Of frequent con-
sul:ation with Secretary Sherman, the
Director Of the Mint. and other promi.
nent officials of the Government. The
opinion was expressed In the House
to-day, as well as in the Senate, where
the bill was introduced by Senator
cameron, that 1t takes the middle
ground on the financial question, and
Is measure upon which the ex-
tremists of both parties might unite.

Senator Beck's Proposition 10
Stop the Cancellation of
the Public Debt.
WASHINGTON, jan, n, 1873

S1A4 asOH 4BCChA - HOHSOSlhnOm 10
Stop the Cancellation Of
the Public Debt.
WASHINGTON, JAM, n, 1873.
Senator Beck presented resolution in
the Senate ordering the Secretary Of the
Treasury to stop the cancellation Of the
debt which goes on under the name of
Of the sinking fund, in view, as
the spreamable of his resolution re-
cites, of the depressed condition of in
dustry. If this resolution should pass it
would save S37 900, 900 In taxes, and the
the argument for 1t Is that, according TO
the last treasury report, the debt has
been reduced since It reached It's highest
point in 1865 blythe amount Of $500, ,0O0. 900
whereas the terms of the Sinking Fund
act have authorized and pledged its re-
duction to the amount of ouly $475. .OOO.-
600, showing that ever sax, 900 900 mere
have been paid than the Law provided or
pledged; that the nation has therefore
paid much faster than its promises
Obliged 1t to. and being at this time poor
may honorablv rest for awhile.
THE SILVER QUESTION IN THE SENATE,
The debate on the Matthews resolution
is drawing to O close, Senator Jones'. of
Florida, and Cockrell spoke to-day, Sem
ators Randolph and Edmunds are expect
ed to speak Tomorrow, and Senator La
mar on Wednesday, after which the vote
will be had. The excitement among the
silver men increases as the day draws
near, and some of them boastfully de-
clare that the Bland bill will pass by
over two-thirds majority, but the COM
plexion OF the Senate has not changed
within a week, or If 1t has there has been
loss to the silver men. They have, for
instance, counted Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, on their side, but he is
opposed to the bill.

A Wilmington Company seri.
ously Affected by : Philadel-
phfa Failure.
Rumors were on the street, this morn
Ing. thick aud 3ast, to the effect that the
John g. Baker Morocco Manufacturing
Company had tailed or was financially
embarrassed TO considerable extent. At
first they were not credited, as similar
rumors were current about month ago
and proved to be unfounded, but 1t soon
became apparent that this time they were
The cause OF the trouble, It appears,
was the recent failure OF Messrs. T.. q u.
Stokes, importers Of skins, Philadelphia,
whose liabilities amounted TO over $780,
900.
The Baker Campany had not only en-
d )rsed heavily for this firm, but had
loaned them It's paper, which the Messrs.
Stokes, s,-instead Of using a. collateral
security for their own loans,-realiz zed
upon, and thus lett the Baker Company
terribly In the lurch when the crash
came. The extent TO which the Baker
Company Is affected 10 between t150, 900
co firms In Philadelphia are carried with
the Stokes failure in the same way.
What the effect OF the Baker Com
pany's embarrassment will be is not yet
known, and Mr.. Baker is In consultation
with his soliciters, Messrs. Harrington &
Hoffecker, relative to some basis Of set
tlement. 1t 10 greatly feared that the re-
suit viii be > complete breaking up Of
the Company's business, In which case
one Of the loan associations Of the city
will bs q sufferer.
Great sympathy is expressed through
out the city. for Mr.. Baker and his assc-
ciates In busiueas Aside from this nm
fortunate connection with the Philadel-
phia importers the company was in q
prosperous condition. doing fair busi-
ness, and worth from $50. 600 to $50 900
over and above all liabilities. The hope
Is general that the company will be per-
mitted to make such arrangements a.
will enable the business of the concern to
be carried on a. usual, and not sacrificed
by forced sale.
