Malone had not voted with the republicans
II the republican caucus would have .nomin-
ated that Riddleberger. Neither answering
he said silent all.
Dawes SAID it was unfair to imputc silence
to the republican side. They did not break
INTO and spoil a speech and figures which had

memory.
This tilt was highly enjoyed.
NEW YORK, April 13.-rhe Commercial
Buttetfn's Washington special says that it is
now apparent that the treasury policy in re-
gard to the six per cent. bonds will be entire

policy ii successfully carried out, will make

OIL next winter and its success is hourly as
sured by bankers who wish to escape the
troubieS OF The passage of funding bill like
that which Hayes vetoed.
The WOrd attacks the treasury policy,
summing up as follows: "The more Win

holders OF government securities to the
amount of Sl0i 100000, bearing interest at

men OF both parties insist. 1t does it with

There is, therefore, every reason to wish he
secretary the fullest success with his plan,
because in its every detail it promotes public
lntereets and guards the treasury.
WASHINGTON, April l3.-There was an
exciting scene in the senate this afternoon
when Dawes charged that some democratic
senators had before this senate met, approach
ed Mahole, offering to give him the sergeant
alarms place for his vote. Pendleton, Harris
and Others sang out ''nama the man, and
said they would not believe a word of il un-
til he gave the name.
Dawes said Harris was trying to intimidate
him.
Butler interrupting him, 'parlon me-"
Dawes replied, it is beyond my power to
pardon you
Butler retoited by saying that Dawes was
imperLinent and GiscOurteols.
