THE SILVER BILL.

No Action to be Taken on it This Session.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-A Democratic eau
Gus was held today, which was devoted to the
question of taking action on the Coke resolu-
ton to discharge the finance committee from
the silver bill.
Although no action was taken and no formal
agreement reached, there seems to be gener-
al and we'll founded expectation among Demo
cratic Senators that as a consequence of the in
terchange of views the majority of the Finance
Committee, will allow the bill to be reported
back to the Senate without recommendation"
and placed upon the calendar with an under
standing that no action shall be taken upon
the measure until next session. 1t is under
stood that Senator Bayard consented to this
course of procedure in the nature of compro-
mise. He informed the caucus, however, he
would certainly resign his craftsmanship of the
Finance Committee if the adoption of Coke's
resolution to discharge the committee were
made caucus decree, and that under no cir
cumstances would he consent to reporting the
bill without distinct understanding that ac-
ton upon it shall be postponed until next win
ter
The caucus appointed committee to confer
with members of the Finance Committee and
report to another caucus meeting (not later
than Monday what course of action can be
agreed upon with reference to the Silver bill.
1t is believed the committees report will be in
accordance with the line of compromise above
indicated.

THE ROCKLAND MURDER.
Haines Surrounded in the Woods
His Capture Almost Certain.
Especial DESPATCH to the Press

Especial Despatch to the Press
RoCKLAND, June 13.-Haines, he escaped
desperate, was seen to go through Camden
village last night, and Constable Irish with
two men tracked him thence to Lincolnville.
About three a. m. they saw him go towards a
barn and supposing that he had entered
searched for him there, while Haines escaped
round a corner and took to the woods. Sub
sequently he entered a house near French :
Beach and being discovered told the lady he
only wanted something to eat which she sup
piled him. His whereabout being known the
sheriff of Waldo with posse of citizens from
Belfast and others from Camden and Sheriff
Shepherd and number of our own citizens
went to the scene and Joined in the search.
Haines is now reported surrounded in a piece
OF woods with strong force guarding every
avenue of escape and his capture is considered
almost certain.
James p Robbins, the victim of Haines'
murderous assault, lies in a dying condition.
But few details of the murder in addition to
those sent last night can be given. AT the
time Mr.. Robbins was struck down he was
sitting in chair and it is not believed that he
was asleep. He had been repeatedly warned
that Haines was a dangerous man, and Officer
Hewett told him when he went out of the
station short time before the murder that he
had better lock Haines up. Robbins was
very powerful man and could easily handle
Haines who is of slight frame and this fact
probably accounted for the formers reckless
ness Robbins has returned to consciousness
but once since he was struck and that but for
moment-not long enough to get from him
any details of the assault.
Haines is native of Patten and has led an
abandoned life. Some years since he was con-
victed before the United States Court for rob-
bling the Patten post Office and sentenced to
four years in State prison. Other burglaries
are laid to his charge and there are those who
think he had something to do with the Valley
Avenue murder near Bangor last winter.

The Silver Question in the British Parlia-
ment.
LONDON, June 12.-In the House Of Com
mons tonight, in the debate on the Indian
budget, Right Honorable Mr.. Goschen pointed
out that the main causes of the depreciation of
silver were the American over-production and
the German demonstration. These were not
likely to continue in operation much longer,
and as he was most distinctly assured upon
high authority that the German government
did not intend to sell any more silver, he
strongly advised the government not to make
any radical change in the existing system of
Secretary for India, expressed his agreement
with the greater part of Mr.. Goschen's speech,

The Colorado Railroad War.

DENVER, June 13.-The excitement attend
ing the services of the injunction Wednesday,
and in accordance with which the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad was ousted
and the Denver and Rio Grande resumed
possession of its constructed railroad, has SUBJ
sided along the entire line. Judge Hallett
decided that the controversy was in effect
between the railroad companies and therefore
removable, and that the United States court
had jurisdiction, but did not decide the
question of legality of Judge Bowers injunc-
ton. He said that he would take no further
action until the Rio Grande attorneys were
notified. 1t is inferred that he intends to
postpone all further action until Justice
Miller's arrival as this and the grand canyon
suit are all considered part of tn g same
litigation.

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.

Republican Senators Decide to Oppose
Both the Army and Judicial Bills in
their Present Form.
WASHINGTON June 13.-Two fully attended
sessions of a caucus of Republican Senators
were held to-day. Both were devoted to the
interchange of views concerning the proposed
course OF action to be taken in regard to the
pending appropriation bills. Earnest and
lengthy speeches were made by Blaine, Conk-
ling and Hoar. 1t was agreed at the afternoon
session with substantial unanimity that the
passage of the army bill in its present form
should be opposed until the majority consent
to the addition of a proviso to the sixth section
doclaringlit not be construed to prevent the
use of troops to execute any existing laws
This is partly based ON the broad principle
that it is the duty of Congress to make appro-
priations in accordance with existing laws and
that the sixth section infringes on the Presi-
dents constitutional power as commander-in-
chief of the army. 1t was agreed that the
passage of the judicial expenses bill will be
opposed until conditions therein contained
relative to the use of money appropriated are
eliminated.
