just cropped out. Alex Stevens
gave notice that tomorrow he would
move to proceed to business on the
Speakers table and take up the Silver Bill
for the purpose Of moving that the House
concur i'll the Senate amendments AS this
is in direct opposition to the programme
adopted by the Silver League, tc
refer to the. Committee on
Banking and Curr1lcy, it created great
excitement, and Buckner, President of the
League and Chairman of the Committee
defiantly said he should make the motion
to refer at the first opportunity, and pre-
cipitate the fight There seems to be an if
reconcilable difference between the radica
and conservative wings of the silver party
that bodies no good to the measure.

WASHINGTON A
Our South American Trade.

National Associated Press to the Star
WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-HOn. A. NJ. Wad-
dell Chairman of the House Committee ON
Post-offices and Post-roads, was before the
Corresponding Committee of the Senate
yesterday and read his report on the
bill authorizing mail steamship service be
tween New York and Rio de Janeiro and
New Orleans and that port
After stating that the mere postal inter
ests of the Government are of but secondary
importance and that the main object is the
revival of American commerce, the report
says that since 1857 the proportion Of ton
mage as between our own and foreign ships
engaged in trade to and from this country
has been reversed, although the commerce
has increased nearly one hundred per cent.
In 1857 the value of the foreign trade car
ried to and from all American ports in
American bottoms was 500, 100000, and the
total carried III foreign bottoms was $213,
100000. In 1868 the figures We're reversed,
foreign ships carrying S580,000,0OO, while
American ships carried only $296, ,OO0,00
In 1877 the proportion was still greater
against us, foreign bottoms carrying 1888,
600, 600 to $315, 10000 carried by the United
States, this being a million less than our
vessels carried twenty-five years ago.

Commissioner Whitehead yesterday ac-

rObber before the next term of the United

In the Court of Special Sessions yesterday
morning Frank O. Myres, the man who re-
Gently ran away with 81, 800 in cash and
three horses belonging to his WIFE as she al
legged, and who was arrested il Cleveland
Ohio and brought back to this city, was ar
raigned for trial upon charge of assault
and battery of an immoral character upon
Mrs. Myres' daughter Jennie, who is Mr.
Nyres' stepdaughter aged eighteen years.
The affidavit made before Justice Jessop
by Mrs. Myres charged that her husband
cruelty beat and choked her. whereby she
was rendered unconscious. The daughters $
complaint was that Mr.. Myres attempted to
outrage her When placed on the stand
Mrs Myres simply testified to her husband
giving her slight push and declared that
she could not remember of his doing any
thing else. The daughter failed to make
good her charge, and only testified to Mr.
Myres pulling her dress in play.
Mr. Myres, when placed upon the stand,

jail and said he must not think hard of her,
rs the making of this complaint was the
only means Of securing his arrest for run
ming away with all their money and leaving
them in destitute condition. Mr. Myres
denied the assault upon both his wife and
step-daughter.
The Court acquitted him, and ordered his
discharge from custody.
Prosecutor Abel then asked the Court
that an order be issued for the arrest of
Mrs. Myres and her daughter upon a charge
OF perjury and conspiracy. The State, he
said had been put to considerable expense
in securing the arrest of Mr.. Myres and as
twas plainly evident that the making of
these complaints was put up job to
secure Myres arrest he did not think the
matter should be allowed to pass unnoticed.
The Court said that there was certainly a
great discrepancy between the evidence
given on the stand by the complainantsand
their atfidavits before the Police Justice.
The Court, therefore, ordered that Mrs.
Myres and Jennie be taken into custody
upon a charge of perjury and conspiracy
and be held to answer such action as the
prosecutor may see fit to take in the mat
Ter AS to the amount of bail, the Court
stated it would be fixed at a later day.

Singular DOings at a Theater.
If it were not that one party was on the
stage and another in the auditorium, it
would have been difficult last night to tell
which was the audience and which were the
performers at the Lyceum Theater. The
occasion was the benefit Of George, the
Count Joannes," and the extraordinary
spectacle of house full of people assem-
bling and paying q handsome sum for the
privilege of amusing each other was again
presented. Hamlet was the play but so
far as the audience was concerned it was
pantomime. Absolutely not one single
word from beginning to end was audible, so
loud and continuous were cat-calls, laughter
and sarcastic comments and advice given
by the spectators to the players.
The situation was more remarkable from
the fact that the audience was made up of
the more intelligent and refined classes of
the community. The gallery was filled with
well-dressed youths and young men, who
had come to have their say, and the lower
portion was crowded with those who came
to hear it and laugh. While the merriment
was boisterous almost to riotousncSS, there
was not shadow of bitterness or malevo-
lence in it. When some one in the course
of the play cried: Three cheers for
Sothern, the Counts Crushed Encmyn'
there was not single response.
