WASHINGTON, Jan. 0.-The passage BY
tho House Of the caucus silver bill will
doubtless operate to cut short the sill
yer debate in the Senate. A Republican
caucus may be held on the Senate side
of the capitol carly this week for the
purpose of determining whether or not
the Senate will endorse tho action Of
the House on this question.
Tho general belief IL that the Republi-
can Senators will not b able to agree
upon . measure, and that the Senate
will pas. . bill differing from the
House bill especially in the bullion
redemption feature, and that the whole
matter will then DO settled in confer
ence between the two houses. What
ever the caucus determines, it 10 likely
this is the last week of silver debate in
the Senate.
Senator Vest promises that he will
bring up soon . new subject for debate
the discussion Of which may OCCUPY
several days. The special committee
of which he 10 chairman, which spent
many months in the investigation of
the transportation of beef and beef

culture reported a substitute for it,
Mr.. Vest has given notice that some
afternoon during the coming week after
the set speeches on silver have been
made, he will call up these bills and
| urge their consideration to Q conclu-
sion.
One Or two appropriation bill. may
impossible that the conferees on the
Pension bill will come to some aort OF
understanding and report to the two
housed, although this Is not likely.
The River and Harbor Appropriation
bill may be reported to the Senate dur
ing the week. The Committee on Com
merce has made such progress with it
that Senator Frye thinks its considera-
ton tS. ma, may be g concluded y tho middle Of
hearings to be given by the committee,
and they may prolong tho discussion to
the end of the week.
The Senate Finance Committee had
hoped to have the Tariff bill ready to
report before the end of thia week, but
the Indications new are that the bill
will aot be ready to return to the
Senate before the beginning or middle
of the committee have turned over to
| the Democrats several Of the schedules,
and all of tho more important items in
the bill will be passed upen before tie
end Of the week.
There is prospect Of very dull
| week In the House. The committees
that have appropriation bills ready to
report will probably have full swing

cussion. If this 10 finished before Fri
day, some of the other committees that
have appropriation bills ready will cal
them up for discussion.

Sir Charles Tupper's Return.

MONTREAL, June 9.-The report that
Sir Charles Topper is returning to
Canada from London because Of the
Newfoundland dispute does not express
his zeal mission. The fact il at'only
a few days ago Sir John Macdonald
cabled Sir Charles that his presence at
Ottawa WAS imperative If negotiations
in connection with the Atlantic Fisher
les and Behring Sea question were to
be continued. Every effort on the part
of young Upper to secure anything sp-
preaching a settlement has failed, and
he has informed Sir John Of his inabil-
ity TO accomplish anything at Washing
ton. He was put forward by his
father, Sir Charles, to assist in the
negotiations at Washington, but Sir
John now secs the mistake he made in
not in the first instance insisting that
Sir Charles should take the case In
hand.

MONTREAL, June 9.-About O'Clock
yesterday afternoon a CARR age contain
ing Editor Eugene Cowles of Cleveland,
his young wife and his brother-in-1aw,
passed rapidly along Catherine street.
When opposite No. 4 fire station Cowlos
pulled q revolver and fred at his wife
but missed his aim. The brother-in-
law then shot Cowles through the neck.
Cowlss was taken to the General Hos
pital and placed under DR.. Kirkpatrick's
care. But slight hopes are entertained
Of his recovery,
Tho streets were crowded At the time
Of tho shooting with people, and there
was = tremendous sensation. By almost
. miracle the ball passed completely
through Cowles' neck without touch
ing any vital point. .
Hale at once drove to the Central
POLICE Station and gave himself mp.
He was placed in a cell. Mrs. Cowles
also gave herself up, but she was re-
leased on bail. She is completely over
come by the tragedy.
The young daughter, who Is niue
years Of age, is at the Sacred Heart
Convent, . stones throw from where
tho shooting took place. Some of the
leading lawyers in the city have been
engaged for Hale's defence.
The trouble between Cowles and his
wife and brother-ip-law began some
months ago, when Mrs, Cowles OBJ
tanned q divorce from her husband, and
the court awarded her the custody of
their only child, a little girl named
Florence. Last Monday Cowles kid
mapped the little girl, and fed with her
from Cleveland.
After considerable search by his wife
and her brother the ascending editor
was located at Niagara Falls, and the
police there were requested to aPPre-
hend him. Before he could be arrested,
however, Cowles learned there was a
warrant out for him, and he ran off to
Toronto.
Detectives employed by his wife fol-
lowed him to the latter city, when he
left for Montreal. Mrs. Oowles went
on with her brother to Montreal with
out delay to secure her husbands ar
rest by the Canadian authorities if he
refused to return her daughter to hel
keeping.
When Cowles found himself com
cletely trapped he declared a truce, and
the Arst denomination of any wrong
intent he made was when he tried tc
shoot his wife without wsrning.

HE report that the Sunday rest bill, which zulick pocketed instead of vetoipg, is to be revived throu gh the agency of the courts, will place the opponents of the bill upon the defensive. A judgment afirning its validity should be met with an appeal to the supreme court which, if for no other purpose, would af- ford time for the legislature to further consider the measure under instructions of voters through the ballot box. The question was sprung in the last general assembly without reference to the wishes O.. the people.-Silver Belt.
