INCORPORATED in the bill. The caucus
committee bin was agreed 10 by the
caucus with only six dissenting votes.
This proposition, IL Is believed, Will
be acceptable as a compromise between
the extreme views of those desir-
ing free coinage and the eastern
sentiment which opposes an increase of
the coinage of silver dollars. IL does not
require the coinage Of the silver pur-
chased, and It's enactment would repeal
the present law. which requires the
coinage OF 81. 600, 600 per month. AT the
present price OF silver $500. 600 ounces.
which il is proposed TO require the Sec
retary OF the Treasury to purchase.
would amount 10 s., 900. 600. and it is
estimated that it would absorb prac-
tically the entire product Of the country
month by month.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The House
| Wednesday went into committee Of
the whole on the legislative ap-
propristion bill, the pending question
being on the motion OF Mr.. Dunnell
/ (Minn.) to strike out the clause provid-
/ ing clerks for Senators. After consid
| erable debate the motion 10 strike out
was lostty vote Of SIS to 81.
In speaking 10 verbal amendment
! Mr.. Kelley Kan replied to a remark
made by Mr.. Allen Mass to the effect
that some of the newly-appointed post
masters in Mississippi had moved
/ their Offices out OF the towns into
the country. Thinking that there
must be some reason for this, be
/ (Mr. Kelley had gone TO the Post-Office
/ Department and had been informed that
/ in some places it was impossible for a
/ Republican postmaster TO secure a loca-
/ tion in a town and he was obliged TO go
to the country. As an instance of the
manner in which some Republican
! postmasters were treated in the
/ South he read letter from w. A. Fin
/ ley. appointed in May as postmaster at
| Able ville 5. c., who states that shortly
after his appointment be was set upon
by mob led by Ward 5. Cothran, son
of Congressman Cothran, and beaten
with barbed wire and ordered to leave
the town.
Continuing, Mr.. Kelley said that he
did not agree with the gentleman from
Mississippi in his criticism Of the Presi-
dent He did not complain that the
President played with his little grand
child, but he wished he would cease IL
long enough TO see to it that every man
in the United States, black or white is
under the protection OF the flag. Zap
plause and laughter.
Mr.. Cothran q. CD said there was
just enough OF fact in the flaming letter
which had been read by the gentleman
from Kansas relative to the Abbe-
Vile case 10 make out a story.
/ There was a town; there was a
post-ofice; there was an applicant
for the pOstmastership. and there
were some hot-headed young men,
OF which his son was one. Those
young men. not for the purpose Of doing
Finley any harm, went TO his house one
night and made some demonstration.
With a guilty conscience. he had broken
out at the back door and run down
20 the railroad track In jumping down
cut he had broken his leg The young
men had sent for a physician and
had paid all The expenses of the treat
ment That was all there was to the
story
Mr.. Rogers ARK. called attention =
the fact that under leave 70 print the
gentleman from Kansas had printed in
the Record vile caiumnies on the Stste
Of Arkansas Had the gentleman nd
