The Free Coinage Bill.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The defeat of the
Bland Free Coinage bill to-day was a sur
prise TO both the friends and foes OF the
measure. The advocates of the bill were
impressed with the belief they would be able
to control greater number of friends than
was shown by the vote. As between the two
propositions, free coinage and suspension,
the former was most popular The vote to-
day did not mean sentiment favoring sus-
pension of coinage, but upon the contrary
it meant that the House was not yet ready
to change the Nations finance, but was
willing that the present law should
remain longer upon the statute books Fifty
two Western Representatives voted against
the bill, as did twenty-one of those from the
South. New York and New England voted
solid against it, while Pennsylvania cast
three votes for it. The friends OF the bill
think that had they gotten vote some six
weeks ago, before so much discussion had
been had, the bill, in all probability, would
have passed. AS it is, no harm has been
done, and there is general feeling of satis-
faction in both parties, and no further legis-
lition will be attempted this session.

Deputies to BE Prosecuted.

ST. LOUIS, April 1l.-Mr. Bailey and other
members of the General Executive Board,
as well as prominent local Knights of Labor,
state emphatically that the Deputy Sheriffs
who fred on the people in East st. Louis
Friday will be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law; that plenty of money will be
forthcoming for that purpose. and that the
best legal talent obtainable will be employed.
Large amounts of money are coming here
LOW to relieve whatever distress may exist
amony striking Knights.
At festival given here by the Knights of
Labor last night for the benefit of the strik-
ers, Mr.. T. B. Brown, of New York. one of
the orators of the order, used the following
language.
Nov, 10 conclusion word about the strike.
Let me say that the General Executive Board Of
the Knigts of Labor have entered into this strug-
gle, and we are going TO win. We are going II win
this strike II t takes all the resources OF the order
to insure success That is the size of IT, and they
can make their minds up TO that. We know this,
that il we are beaten in this strike the men who
work for railroads viii not be able to call their
souls their own. They will be as bad the coach
man OF Jay Gould. They dress him up as one of
those monkeys on an organ (laughter), and on his
hat is a cockade, which shows that he is slave.
That is where he wants to get the men who
work on his railroads. We must win this strike
and alter this there never viii be another strike
on any railroad system In the United States IL
will be a lesson to Gould, showing him that he
cen not crush the LIE out OF his employee"

In the suit of the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company VS.. the Chicago ana Atlantic Rail

the road from Chicago to Marion, O., for
nearly SIS, 600, 600, Judge Gresham yesterday
made ruling, holding: u) That the COM

demurrer to bill filed to foreclose. (2) That
the Indiana statute, known as the Coffroth
law, passed May, 1869, and prohibiting citi-

void. (3) Reserving judgment as to ap-
pointment of areceiver and not passing upon

as it reviewed in detail the points particu-
larly ruled upon, and the effect will proba-

is a defeat of IT, Jewett interest. II will be

CLEVELAND, April 11.-Chief Engineer
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, has returned from the seat Of
trouble in the Southwest. In an interview
he declined to 60 into the question of the
existing strike, but said: II heartily in

I'D. m.-But little real work has been
done.in the yards so far, and but few trains
have been moved. This is chiefly for tine
reason, however. that in some of the yards
there are not sufficient men to make up
trans while in others there is little or no
freight to move. The Louisville and Nash
vile yards are practically at a standstill.
This is the road at which the strikers are the
most incensed, and but few outsiders care to
be employed there. They have moved no
trains yet to-day, Two shots are reported to
have been fred in this yard about o'clock
this morning, but NOBODY seems TO know
where they came from or by whom or for
what purpose they were fired. A
large train came into the Indianapolis
and st. Louis yard this morning
from the East, but none have been sent out
yet. The Vandalia sent out one and re-
ceived one, The Ohio and Mississippi is
busy receiving freight, but no trains have
gone out. The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy and the Chicago and Alton are doing
all they can with the men they have, and
the Wabash is doing its regular business.
The inquest in the shooting affair of Fri
day last was continued to-day, and up to
noon more than dozen witnesses were ex-
amined. No new facts were developed. ALI
the testimony given was of the same tenor as
that of Saturday. The witnesses were chiefly
railroad men, spectators of the scene, and all
alleged that the Deputy Sherifs fred the
first shot; that no stones were thrown al
them. and that the crowd gave the Deputies
no other prOvocation for firing than hootine
and jeering at them, and making irritating
remarks

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The case of Col
lector Hanlon, of the Terre Haute District,
will be up before the Finance Committee oil
the Senate this week. Last week there was
much discussion IN his case and it will be
more vigorously contested. 1t seems that
Senator Harrison is exhausting himself upon
Mr.. Hanlon's appointment, and will make a
special effort to defeat his confirmation, il
no others. Senator Voorhees, thinks it will
come out all right.

ing on the square east of the Capitol, where
a number of private dwellings now stand.
While other Senators have been posing be-
fore the country as reformers, or cultivating
Presidential booms, the father of the Senate
has devoted his energies to building a
home for Mr.. Spofford's books, and has
shown the patience of JOB with the
persistency of a Missouai office-seeker.
It has been hope deferred, from ses-
sion 10 session, until to-day, when
the bin which passed the House last
week went through the Senate without an
objection. The old gentleman in his excite
ment and Joy at the realization of his hopes
forgot the dignity that is his most conspicu-
Gus characteristic, and tossed kiss across
the Chamber to Senator VOORHEES,, who has
been bis active coparcencer. VOORHEES, kissed
his hand in return, and hurried page of
with the news to Librarian Spoford who
came ambling in, and the three men en-
braced each other warmly, much to the
amusement of the Senate and the galleries.
The new library building is to be con-
structed of white marble, to correspond with
the Capitol, and will be capable of contain
ing 100000 books. The cost will be s., ,0O0,.
600, including the site, for which s550,0O0 is
appropriated. Mr.. Spofford says it will be
the finest building of the kind in the world.

Inspectors of Diseased Meat.
Snanfal N fba CaOfinal


WASHINGTON, April l0.-The House Com
mittee on Commerce today instructed
Representative Dunham to report favor
ably his bill to authorize the Presi-
dent to appoint inspectors of live stock
end diseased meats and hog products intend
ed for foreign shipment to a number not ex-
ceeding fifteen for any customs district. 1t
shall be the duty of these inspectors upon
application to inspect live stock hog pro-
ducts to furnish written certificate of the
result of such inspection. This certificate
shall accompany these articles abroad. The
bill makes it a misdemesnor, punishable by
fine, imprisonment and forfeiture of goods,
TO import IN to the United States any adulter
ated or any unwholesome food or liquor, and
authorizes the President to suspend the inn
portatioIi of any article which he has good
reason TO believe is injurious to the health

Circulars containing photographs of the

them came into possession of Mr.. J. A.
Winter, agent Of the Rock Island in Kansas
City. Mr.. Winter had been keeping his

The Chinese.
Special to the Sentinel.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, which has
for some time been discussing the Chinese
problem, in all probability will report bill
repeating the Burlingame treaty. Governor
McCreary, of Kentucky, who is a member OF
the committee, said to reporter tonight
that he was in favor of legislation which
would positively prohibit the immigration
of Chinese to this country. They do us no
good" said the Governor, ''and we should
not allow them to come here"

Logan Not Pteased.

Special to the sentinel.
WASHINGTON, April l0.-Logan accuses
Conger of having beaten his bill, but Teller
and Plumb will have to bear their share of
the revenge which the Senator from Illinois
proposes to infiict at his earliest opportunity.
He approached Conger after the vote was ia
ken, and said, in an angry way:
"You beat that bill, blank you, with your
blankety blank bloody shirt Speech
THAT is just what i intended to do" re-
piled Conger, "and tn INK you for the COM
pliment."
Logan says that there were seven Southern
Democrats ready to support his bill, three oil
whom had agreed to it in committee, but
who were offended at what Conger said, and
changed sides at the last moment. He ex
pected great credit for the measure, but got
answer the charge that he wanted the
army increased in order to crush the
laboring men, who are, of course, his
dearest friends. He accuses Hale and Teller
and Plumb of trying TO get HIM out of the
way as a Presidential candidate, and is now
willing TO renew the remarks that he took
back about the Influences outside of the Sen
ate being exerted to defeat anu humiliate
him. 1t is generally admitted, even by his
warmest friends, that Logan's Presidential
boom has had serious back set, not SO much
by the defeat of the bill as because of the
speeches he has himself made in the debate
upon it and the antagonisms he has created
among his own party in the Senate. He has
not spoken to either Teller or Plumb for a
week, and it will be long while before he
will recognize the Senator from Michigan
Logan never forgives and never forgets, and
will not lose an opportunity to punish those
who have downed him this time.

DIR. De BenZi states, in The Rivista
CIinica, that by treating patients with
traumatic tetanus by means of perfect
rest he has been able to restore four out
of five TO health; whereas, when treated
in other ways, these patients usually die
IN two or three days He places the case
+ special room, were absolute silence
reignS. Even in the passages leading to
It and in the neighbOring wards care is
taken TO lay down carpets, so that no
sound shall penetrate the tetanus ward
The door of the latter is of course well
oiled, so as TO open and shut noiselessly.
and the patients ears are stuffed with cot
ton wool, he himself being strictly en-
joined not to make the slightest noise
He must. OF course, be fed. This has
generally been considered impossible, the
teeth being clinched and the spasmodic
contraction being increased by attempts
to masticate The obstacle may, how
ever, be easily overcome by parting the
jaws and introducing liquid food through
a curved sound; swallowing is accom-
plished without difficulty. This method
of treating traumatic tetanus has been
tried with success by several Italian prac-
utioners-Drs. Pisani, Maragliano, Ria,
etc. The only disadvantage is that the
affection is sometimes prolonged for two
months II seems to increase in duration
as il diminIshes in force.-Scientific Amer

1t is pretty story which Is being circu-
lated about the Ajax. One round from
two of her 3S ton guns produced such re-
suits that it was considered prudent to
order every one out Of the turret before
the guns were fired again A second
round was then fired. when the Admiral
concluded that the guns had better not be
discharged again After this 1t is really
of little consequence whether it be true or
not that "the A tubes were all found to
be cracked" It Is clear that the vessel
is useless, either as fighting machine or
a sea going ship. Possibly she might be
of some use as a coal hulk or q dredger;
but, then, neither q coal-hulk nor Q
dredger ought to cost thousands upon
