FREE SILVER COINAGE
A Report Which States That
1t Seems Assured.
REPUBLICAN CAUcusEs HELD.

In Both Senate and House the Rspub-
iicans Are Said to Favor Such scheme.
A Committee Appointed to Draft a
Silver Coinage Compromise Measure.
WASHINGTON, April 1l.--A meeting OF
the COMMITTEES appointed by the Republican
caucus 10 consider the silver question was
held last night at the home of Senator Sher-
man. Sons progress was made but the bill
to be presented to the caucus was not def
nitely determined on. One point has been
made clear during those deliberations thus
far-that something very like unlimited
coinage is to meet with the approval Of the
senate at this session Of congress. The cau-
Gus committee is now preparing com
promise measure on which the Republican
members Of the senate can unite, but the
information has come TO the Republican
senators with some directness that the Demo-
cratic senators will vote almost withouk
exception for free coinage.
Free Coinage Seems Assured.
As several Republican senators must vote
with them on this point free coinage 80 far
as the senate cnn determine the question:
seems almost assured. This information
comes from most reliable sources, aud it is
the information on which the Republican
caucus committee Is acting. Some of the
Republican senators are bitterly opposed to
unlimited coinage, and how to reconcile
them and the silver advocates so as to pre-
vent a split in Republican ranks is the prob
lem with which the caucus committee is
wrestling. Many Of the western silver men
I4s
compromise measure ii they can be placed
in the right attitude before the people. bus
II the Democratic members vote solidly for
free coinage IT would be political suicide 20
prevent with their votes the contamination
for which the west has been working so
many years
The House Favars II, Too.
The Republican members Of the house
held caucus last night 70 consider party
policy. The silver question was taken up
Immediately and discussed at great length
During the discussion remarkable feeling
in favor of unlimited coinale developed, and
| IL present indications are OF any value, the
house and senate will join before long in
passing a bill providing for free coinage.
/ Mr.. Conger, Of Ohio, was the first speaker
| He explained the provisions d his silver bill
| He was followed by Mr.. Walker, Of MIassa-
chusetts; Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois; Mr. Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, and Mr.. Carter Of Mon
tana. Mr. Carter made a strong plea for
free coinage.
To Devise "A compromiss Measure.
The views expressed were so diverse, how
ever, that II was agreed that committee Of
fifteen members should be appointed to con-
suit with a committee Of Republican mem
bers Of the senate to devise some measure
that would be In effect a compromise, and
to report TO a caucus to be held in the house

notes against the absconding J. Monroe
Shelienberger to the amount of S25, 600 have
been brought in by farmers and others in
the country, and the known shortage is thus
increased to SIPS, 600, but the returns are far
from being complete. Shellenbergers large
practice in the orphans court was taken ad.
vantage of by him to rob many widows and
orphans. The crime Of forgery has been
fastened upon him by the production Of
notes to which the names Of J. r. Lands
and others were forged The notes were
given BY Shellenberger as security for bor-

EX-GOVERNOR coRNeLusi irRoUeLe.
Nearly 5000 Of His Notes Protested.
He Has pksappeared.

NEW ToRg, April 1t-As Ex-Governor
Cornell did not appear Wednesday to pay
the notes indorsei by him and held by the
Broadway bank, Messrs. Kelly and McRae,
attorneys for the bank, yesterday entered
up Judgment on the default and issued exc
cution papers by the sheriff. Deputy Sheriff
Young was given charge Of the papers, but
up 70 late hour had not found the ex-gov-
ernor to serve them.
The story that the ex-governor had run
away or was hiding from his creditors was
emphatically denied by his son Charles, who
said to a reporters II cannot conceive why
my father should run away; he has nothing
to fear That story is as absurd as the one
that he is suffering from softening Of the
brain. Why | breakfasted with him at our
house, 46s Lexington avenue. You may
meet him at any moment on the street: he
IS down town attending TO his business
do not know where you can find him, but he
IS somewhere down town. He had an office
in the Tower building, but gave it up when
the lease expired, April |.
He has his own reasons for not wanting
to pay the notes and must have felt pretty
sure Of judgment In his favor, or he would
not have refused TO pay. As for softening
Of the brain, father is in better health today
Others, however, declare that Mr.. Cornell
has been breaking down for some time and
that he Is now kept in some place where he
cannot be troubled by creditors. The cir
cumstances and the conditions Of affairs have
