SILVER AND COLD.
Senate Discussed Them Yesterday:
VIII Talk of Rum TODAY.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Senate took
up the.silver bill today and Mr.. Dolph spoke
| upon it. He said that what he had said in
regard to free coinage of silver did not, of
course, apply to free coinage under an inter-
national agreement, establishing ratio be-
tween gold and silver. There had never
been one hour when the United States gov
ernment had not favored bi-metalllsm Ma
tional bi-metallism was lmpracticable. The
only way to secure both metals as coin was
to have an international agreement with the
principal countries of Eupope for the estab-
lishment of such an international ratio as
would secure the free coinage of both metals
in the mints of those countries and the Unit
ed States. 1t was not possible for the Unit
ed States alone to control by legislation the
relative value of gold and silver. The Unit
ed States was either to remain with the
countries that had gold standard, or join
with those that had a silver standard.
At the close of Mr.. Dolph's speech, Mr..
Teller criticised some points of it. He said
It would not do for that Senator or any other
Senator to say with unction that he was for
double standard or for silver and then fav-
or measures absolutely destructive of silver
as money. He Mr.. Tellerl did not propose
that the country should be deceived into be-
lieving the proposition which came from the
finance committee meant silver at all. On
the contrary, he asserted that it meant a
single gold STANDARD.
Mr.. Aldrich asked Mr.. Teller whether he
proposed, in the issue of silver money, to
dislocate the parity of gold and silver.
MIR. Teller replied that the Senator from
Rhode Island knew he did want cOuble
standard. he repeated. if but one metal
money could be used, the interest of the peo-
pie was that the metal should be silver and
not gold. He wanted double standard
He wanted to put gold and
silver on parity. In order to do that gold
had to be brought down from the point to
which it had been appreciated by vicious
legislation, or, in other words, the products
OF the. country had to be brought up. He
knew It was dangerous to crificise the fnan-
publican Senators who did so were apt to be
considered not sound politically. He repelled
the idea that the silver coins of Europe |
would be sent to this country if free silver |
coinage was established, and argued that |
none of the European nations could think of |
reducing their silver circulation. ~
Mr.. Mitchell expressed his thorough dis
sent from the views expressed by his col
league [Mr. Dolphl. The Democratic and
Republican state conventions of Oregon re-
Gently expressed themselves unanimously in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. He believed the resolutions of those
conventions voiced the sentiment also of the
people Of his state.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson of Iowa, it was
ordered that the Senate bill, subjecting i'm
ported liquors to the provisions of the laws
of the several states. should be taken up to-
morrow after the routine morning business.
After a brief executive session the Senate,
at %. adjourned,

Railroad Men Make Common Cause
for 3. & o. Employees.

PHILADELPHIA. May ia convention Of
representatives from the different organiza-
tions of railroad employees of all roads GEN.
tering in Philadelphia was held here last
night. The object of the convention was to
take action in endeavoring to secure rea-
sonable adjustment of grievances which, it
is claimed, the men have against the differ
ent companies by which they are employed.
When the grievances of the employees Of
the Baltimore q Ohio were made known, the
employees of the other roads decided to sink
their own grievances until those OF the Bal
timore & Ohio men had been corrected.
The bill Of grievances presented to the
meeting by the Baltimore & Ohio men en-
bodied comparison of the wages received
by them with the rates paid to the employees
of the Pennsylvania railroad. The list pre-
sented states that "on through trains to
Washington on the Baltimore & Ohio the
conductors in their fourth year receive S412
per round trip, the baggage masters So So
per round trip, and the brakemen S1.S1 per
round trip: while on the Philadelphia, Will
mington 81 Baltimore the conductors are
paid Sc per round trip, the baggage masters
S2.75, and the brakemen S3."
The convention did not take any action on
the grievances, but adjourned to consider
them and take action at a subsequent meet
ing.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Chairman j. II.

has been consulting with the Maine delega-
tion in regard to the approaching campaign
in Maine. There is general feeling of con-
fidence in the outlook in Maine. Mr.. Man
ley reports that the state convention will
probably be very largely attended for a con-
vention in year when there is no contest
As many as 1900 delegates will be present in
his opinion, and he regards this as very en-
couraglng sign of Republican enthusiasm.
There will probably be about three weeks of
speaking in the campaign, mostly by home
talent, with few brilliant speakers from
abroad to help along. Who these speakers
will be it is of course too early to say.

geant alarms of the Senate, today entered

help him greatly.

The Attempt to InvaIIdate the Ed
munds Law Defeated.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Supreme
Court of the United States today rendered
an opinion in the suit of the Church of Lat
ter Day Saints against the United States.
which comes here on appeal from the de-
cision of the Supreme Court Of Utah in fa-
v0r of the United States. This court affirms
that judgment. The case grows out of the
passage of the Edmunds anti-polygamy law.
When the United States, under the terms
of this act, began proceedings to cOnfscate
about $750,0C0 worth of property belonging
to the church, the Mormons Immediately en-
tered suit to have the Edmunds law de-
clared unconstitutional. 1t was argued be-
fore the Supreme Court, in their behalf,
that Congress, by dissolution of the
church corporation, assumed judicial
powers; that the act of the legislative
assembly of Utah, incorporating the church,
constituted contract that could not be i'm
paired by Congress under its authority to
repeal territorial enactments. 1t was held
that the doctrine of escheat was alien to the
spirit of free institutions and had never ap-
piled in this country to church or charit-
able corporation.
On the part of the United States it was
contended that Congress had authority to
repeal all territorial enactments; that the
act incorporating the church was invalid as
an attempt to establish religion contrary
to the provisions of the Constitutions that
the charter should be annulled for abuse of
granted rights, and that when the church
corporation was dissolved there was no one to
whom to turn over the property and it proper
ly escheated to the United States.
