THE SILVER BILL PASSED.
The Conference Report Adopted in House
by Strict Party Vote.

After an interesting debate of four hours the
House, by vote of 122 yeas against 80 nays-a
strict party vote-adopted the report of the
conference committee on the silver question.
thus finally passing the Silver bill as agreed
upon by the conferees, and ending that con-
test in Congress for the present. Without
tran sacting any further business the House ad-
journed until tomorrow
The bill had been enrolled in advance BY
the energetic enrolling clerks of the House,
and is, therefore, ready to receive the sigma
lures of the presiding officers of the two
Houses and will be sent to the President of
the United States tomorrow.
In connection with this bill, Representative
Conger, of Iowa, who had charge of it, stated
to the House that the bill was (as all conference
bills must be- in the nature of compromise.
1t was not just such bill as he thought Congress
ought to pass. Itwas not just such bill perhaps,
as any member would desire. The work of
Congress had been moving the country rapidly
toward the establishment of parity between
silver and gold. When Congress met silver was
93 cents an ounce. Yesterday it sold for 1O7!
cents Since it had been announced that the
conference had agreed upon bill silver had
gone up more than cents ounce,

Cnnfernnrn Inhnrsnd

Recommendations of the Pan American
Conference Endorsed.
The President yesterday sent to Congress
with the following Endorsement, al recon-
mend the suggestions and hope that they will
meet with the prompt approval of Congress" :"
letter from Secretary Blaine on the subject
of an international American monetary union.
In his letter the Secretary says:
To the President:
The International American Conference, re-
Gently in session at this Capital, adopted the
following report:
THE International American Conference is of
opinion that great advantages would accrue to
the commerce between the nations of this con-
tinent by the use of a coin, or coins that would
be current at the same value in all the countries
represented in this conference, and, therefore,
recommends.
81. That an international American monetary
union be established.
"2. That as basis for this union an inter
national coin, or coins, be issued, which shall
be uniform in weight and fineness and which
may be used in all the countries represented in
this conference.
"3 That to give full effect to this recommen-
dation there shall meet in Washington a com
mission composed of one delegate or more from
each nation represented in the conference.
which shall consider the quantity, the kind of
currency, the uses it shall have, and the value
and proportion of the international silver coin,
or coins, and their relations to gold.
~, That the Government OF the United
States shall invite the commission to meet in
Washington within year, to be counted from
the date of the beginning of this conference"
1t was hoped and expected by the conference
that the recommendation should be transmitted
to Congress with recommendation that the
several nations interested be invited to send
delegates to a meeting of the international
American Monetary Union at Washington on the
first Wednesday of January next: that authority
be granted for the appointment of three dele
gates on the part of the United States, and that
an appropriation be made to meet the necessary
nNnanspS

OFFICER DEAN ACQUITTED.

Judge Miller Puts Aside as worthless
Most of the Evidence Against Him.
The trial of Officer Richard Dean, of the
polio force, which occupied the attention of
Jud ge Miller during almost the whole of last
week, was finished yesterday The testimony
for the prosecution was very conflicting, the
witnesses contradictng one another on the
most important points at issue. The case was
one brought about by agitation among the col
ored people over an alleged brutal assault by
Officer Dean on prisoner named Samuel Hut
Crimson, whom he arrested for disorderly con-
duct. Hutchinson resisted arrest, broke away
from the officer, and ran When recaptured he
attempted to assault the officer.
The leading testimony was given bv Bishop
johnson, the Rev. DIR. Gaines, Preacher Loanes
and a number of other colored residents of the
neighborhood where the affair occurred MANY
of these witnesses did not seem to understand
that they were under oath, for each had diff
ferent and brutal story of the afTray, and each
located the various occurrences at different
points. In the midst of all this array of testi-
mony the prosecuting witness, Sam Hutchinson
told the only straight story, contradicting every
one of his with nesses in material points, adhering
to the fact that he was struck only once This
was the state of affairs when the trial was called
Yesterday but more perplexity was caused by
the appearance of two associates of Hutchinson
who were with him when the fight took place
They mixed affairs up worse than ever, The
courtroom was crowded, aud prominent IN the
throng were the agitators who worked up the
affair.
After the testimony was all in Assistant At
torney Mullowney spoke for the Government
and went over the case, holding that Officer
Dean did not display ordinary discretion, had
exceeded his discretion, and should be fined for
the assault. Lawyer Moss, the coored man
who defended Officer Dean, made a forcibe
speech and handled the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton without gloves, his reference to Archbishop
johnson, Bishop Gaines, Rev. Mr. Loane and
the Others causing considerable amusement to
the spectators. He made the best showing
since his appearance as a lawyer, and at the
close was congratulated by his associates
In summing up Judge Miller went over the
whole case, and took up the evidence link by
link, showing how important he regarded the
case. He said that malice had to be shown.
None had been shown, and in his Judgment the
officer did not exceed his authority. Throwing
out the whole testimony for the defense, and
taking up that of the prosecution, he was
totally unable to find one particle that would
justify conviction. 1t fact, the only testi-
mony that would stand was that of the prin-
clpal, sam Hutchinson. The other was too far
stretched to be given thought in a court of
Justice. He therefore deemed it just to acuuit
Ottlcer Dean of the charge.
Officer Dean, who is regarded as one of the
best officers on the force, was the recipient of
many congratulations at the finish of the trial.

The Subsidy Bills Passed.

After debate, which continued through parts
of several days, the Senate yesterday passed, by
votes of 90 against IS, and 2S against 16, re-
spectively, the Tonnage Shipping bill and the
Postal Subsidy bill. With the exception of Mr.
Payne, Democrat, who voted for the bills, and
Messrs Edmunds and Plumb, Republicans,
who voted against the bills, the two political
parties were arrayed against each other on these
two measures, which, by their high-sounding
titles, were claimed to be intended to place

News From Wall Street About Stocks

bonus, ana Money.
NEW YORK, July 12-The stock market to-
day was extremely dull, though it presented a
firm front throughout. The dealings in all ex-
cept few specialties and sugar refineres, how
ever, were without feature of any kind, while
the fluctuations were confined to the limits of
about per cent. Sugar refineres continued
to respond to the proposed scheme to reorgan-
lze the trust with the belief that the insiders
will support the stock. The buying, however,
is largely for the short account. and its
elimination seems only matter of short time.
The bank statement, which was awaited with
so much interest, showed a handsome gain in
surplus reserve, which leaves it about where
1t was two weeks ago, but the result had been
so thoroughly discounted that it had no effect
to either raise or depress prices The close
was very dull and firm at slightly better figures
than those of the opening. Money on call has
been easy with no loans, and closing offered at
80. Prime mercantile paper is in good supply
with somewhat better demand, but rates re-
main unchanged at and per cent. Sterling
