Berdan.

Berdan.
WASHINGTON, December 18Th. = Vice.
President Francis G.. Newlands presided
over the meeting of the National Silver
Committee yesterday, in which the action
of the Republican Senatorial caucus. with
reference to finance, was condemned, and
it was claimed that the people of the
country demanded the passage of q free
coinage Act at This session.
Harley B. Morse and George B. Merrick
of Denver have arrived in Washington
with silver bar in gripsack. They pro.
pose to present silver bar, valued at
81 GOO, and demand that it be coined into
silver. Upon refusal, they will apply for
a writ of mandamus, and through the
medium of the Supreme Court, compel the
Secretary Of the Treasury to do what they
desire. Both men claim. to have good
cause, basing their argument on the claim
that the demonstration of silver was an
unconstitutional act.
Members of the Silver Committee say
this move would only delay legitimate
legislation and get the question into an
inextricable mess. By throwing the mat
ter into the Supreme Court, they claim, q
decision could not be reached in FIVE years
The people will settle the question long
before that.
COMPOSITE DOLLAR COIN.
WASHINGTON, December 19th.-Generai
Berdan has written letter to Francis G.
Newlands, proposing decided novel coin.
age measure. He suggests q composite
coin of gold and silver mechanically COM
bined. He thinks the dollar should be the
size of a silver quarter, containing % cents
worth of silver. In the center would be
hole which would be plugged up with 70
cents worth of gold, the numer of grains
of silver to be employed to be decided by
Congress. Around the gold plug would be
raised a milled edge, which would serve to
protect the gold from friction. The Gen.
ersl argues that the size of this coin would
be much more convenient than the present
dollar for general circulation, and says that
OF the numerous prominent men to whom
he has unfolded the scheme not one has
disapproved.
THE CAUCUS AGREEMENT ACCEPTABLE.
New YORK, December 19sh.-Washing-
ton specials say the silver managers are en-.
deavoriDg to secure promises from the
Democrats not to obstIuct final legislation
by Offering free coinage amendments. The
Republican leaders OF the House have
given the Senators to understand the eau
Gus on the financial measure is acceptable,
and urge that every effort be made 10 pass
it in its present shape, otherwise they will
not be responsible for the result.

THE ELECTIONS BILL.
Senator Stewart Vigorously Opposes Its
Passage.

HasSage.
WASHINGTON, December 19th-Stewart's
speech in opposition to the Federal cleo
tions bill was the feature of the Senate pro-
ceedings to-day, and is the topic of CONVEX
sation here tonight. IL is the general
opinion here that Stewards bolt will en-
courage other Republican Senators to fol-
low suit. Like Stewart, Senator Teller of
Colorado is very anxious fer silver legisla-
ton this session, and it is expected that his
opposition TO the elections bill will find ex-
preston in q speech to be delivered soon.
Very few Senators were in their seats
this afternoon when Stewart rose to ad-
dress the Senate, but before he had been
speaking ten minutes most of the seats
were filed by both Republican and Demo-
cratic Senators, who listened with closest
attention. The Democratic Senators crowd
ed closely around him, and frequently
clapped their hands in response to Stew
arts vigorous denunciations of the force
bill. The galleries frequently broke into
applause, which was not stopped by the
presiding officers admonition.
At the close of his speech Senator Teller
shook Stewart warmly by the hand, and
the Democratic Senators crowded around
him and did likewise.

BEHRING SEA.
Naval Fleet Said to be Going North in
May.

May.
New YORK, December 19Lh.-The Herald
prints sensational Ottawa special this
morning saying: Confidential advices
from Washington strongly confirm the
press utterances that point to o crisis next
season in the fur seal controversy.
After the rejection by President Harri-
son of the latest British proposal of arbitra-
ton, the Imperial Government will suspend
further efforts toward a settlement of the
dispute.
By May next a strong squadron of war
vessels will be assembled at Esquimault,
and vessels of smaller class will be sent
to Behring Sea to protect from seizure or re-
moval the British ships.
The naval force to enter Behring Sea will
be large enough to induce the American
Government to refrain from interference
with sealing vessels. Unless the President
really desires to bring the crisis that the
American press Is predicting, our authori-
ties look for no trouble and for no molesta-
ton on Canadian sealing vessels next sum-
mer.

SUBSIDY SHIPPING BILL.
The Final Fate of the Measure at Presen,
Unknown,


WASHINGTON, December 10 h.-The sub.
sldy tonnage combination bill will prob
ably occupy the House for day or two at
least, and what the final result will be is
very doubtful. The opposition has not yet
been fully crystallized. The members have
been busy with other work that has been
assigned TO them, or that is of especial in
terest to them. and they have not had time
to thoroughly examine this proposition.
There are some members who oppose all
subsidy schemes on general principles, and
therefore do not have to look very deeply
into the question to determine where they
stand, but some others will be influenced
mostly by the question of cost Some
favor the mail subsidy proposition who
will not vote for the tonnage bounty
scheme against which there is the strong
est opposition.
The idea of the friends of these two
measures was that BY combining thev
would bring together the supporters of
both propositions, and so secure the passage
of measure that would give all they
wanted, but the indications are that they
have made characterization and have
materially weakened their position by
amalgamation.
The fact that q majority voted TO con-
slider the matter does not insure the passage
of the bill proposed. Some less compre-
henslve scheme may be adopted, or the
whole thing may fail. At present they are
going over the whole question in Commit
tee CT the Whole, and number of very
material amendments will be proposed
during the course of consideration The
outcome may be a bill for a mail subsidy
merely between this country and the Gen.
tral American ports. The Democrats are
hopeful of knocking the whole thing over.

Persecution of Jews,

WASHINGTON, December 19th.-In the
House to-day, Cummings of New York Of
fered for reference resolution setting forth
that the members of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States have heard
with profound sorrow and feeling akin to
horror, the reports of the persecution OF
Jews in Russia, rejecting barbarism of
past ages, disgraeing humanity and i'm.
peding the progress of civilization. That
the sorrow is intensified by the fact that
such occurrences should happen in coun-

the United States, and that clothed itself
with glory not long since by the emanci-

News from the Sweetwater is to the eff
feet that the snow has entirely gone, that
stock is doing finely and that the loss will
be below the average. Out of a recent
roundup of over two hundred head, only
two were found that needed feed, and they
would have been all right if their calves
had been weaned. The range stock is com
ing out much better than was reported
they would a few weeks ago. The Rep,sb-
licdn has heard of no losses in Carbon
county. Splendid weather for range stock
The snow has nearly all disappeared and
feed is plentiful. The past week has been
very warm for winter weather, which will
tend to strengthen the weaker critters and
put them in a fair way to pull through all
right.-RdDlins Republican.
Persons from different parts of the
country say the disappearance of the snow
discloses the carcasses of many dead
cattle. What the general loss will be in
central and eastern Nevada cannot be
estimated with any degree of correctness
at present, but it is very heavy.-Winne
mmucca, (Neu.) Siluer State.
Insurance rates on live cattle crossing
the ocean have been increased from 311
per cent. on the best, and 5 per cent. on the
poorest boats, 5 per cent. on the best
and per cent. on the poorest
boats. The advance is said to be due
TO rOugn weather ana heavy losses lately
experienced on the ocean.
William Snow arrived from Ruby valley
yesterday, having made most of the trip
on snow shoes. He gives gloomy account
of the situation in that part of the country
on account of the great depth of snow and
scarcity of feed. Horses and cattle are
dying by hundreds, and there seems nc
probability of saving any except what few
can be fed. 1t is deplorable state OF
affairs for which there seems to be nc
remedy, and we heartily sympathize with
those who are sustaining such heavy
losses.-ElkO Independent
