THE JONES BILL.
The Senate Committee Adopts 1t With
Few Amendments.

rev Amendments.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-An effort was
made by the senate republican silver
committee to agree upon silver bill to
be reported to the caucus. Three of the
thirteen members were absent. The ten
present, together with Senator Stewart
who was invited to take part in the pro-
ceedings, after discussion lasting nearly
three hours, decided to report to the
caucus to be held some day this week,
the bill reported by Senator Jones from
the finance committee some weeks ago.
with amendments.
One of the amendments strikes out
the provision in the reported bill, that the
notes issued for the purchase of bullion
when redeemed shall be Cancelled, and
instructs the secretary of the treasury to
reissue them with the proviso that the
amount outstanding shall not at any
time be in excess of the amount paid
out for the bullion deposited.
Another amendment is the addition of
the sixth section of the bill adopted by
the house caucus, which provides for
million dollars of lawful money now held
for the redemption of national bank
notes.
The Jones bill directs the secretary of
the treasury to purchase monthly silver
bullion to the value of $4,500,OOO, the
notes in payment thereof to be redeema-
BILE in lawful money.
Senator Mitchell stated that while per-
sonally he was in favor of the free coin
age of silver, he believed the measure
(the bullion redemption clause having
been omitted) to be free from any vicious
principle, and one that if adopted would
ultimately lead to free coinage. In this
Senator Teller agreed.

LONDON, May 6.-Mr. Gibbs, ex-gov-

dent of the Bi-Metallic League, cables
Senator Jones, in the name of the BIZ
Metallic League, deeply regretting the
death of Senator Beck, 'whose services
warmly appreciated, and adding "The
bi-metallist party in the United King
dom, now including over one hun
dred members of the house of
commons, attach the greatest
value to the debate about to
commence in your illustrious chamber.
We fully recognize, not only that the
support afforded silver by your legisla-
ton during the past twelve years, has
helped to protect the industrial world
from an acute monetary crisis, but also,
that the debates in Congress have served
more than all else to educate our people
to recognition of the important issues
involved. We believe also, that the in
creased coinage of silver contemplated
by congress, will restore, wholly or con-
siderably, your coinage rates, and will
tuuS make all lHuerHdJlOIldl SeICleI1enC
of this complex question comparatively
easy. We anticipate further, with
much confidence, that the advance in
the price Of silver which must follow
your action will stimulate the export
trade of your country, and, while tend
ing to the prosperity of your agricul-
tural classes, will also assist the manu-
featuring industries Of the United King
dom and the whole body of our wage
earners."

ROMAYER'S DUPES.
Hundreds of ImpecuniOus NOblemen
Who Had Titles to SWAP for Fortunes.


New YORK, May 6.-The Worlds
cable from Berlin says: An interesting
postal secret has just leaked out. Ever
since the first disclosures were made in
the case of Romayer, who conducted in
California bureau for the furnishing of
rich American women as wives to impe-
cunious German nobility, there have
been anxious hearts in Berlin. Some of
the letters addressed to Romayer by
needy fortune-hunters were published,
and in consequence two officers of the
imperial guard were forced to resign.
When the news of Romayer's
suicide arrived here the anxiety of
those who had written to him
was somewhat relieved, but still re-
mained. Some officers were in much
trepidation. They did not know into whose
hands their letters had fallen. Some
days ago, however, big batch of these
letters was returned to Berlin by the
United States postal authorities. The
postal department opened them and re-
turned them to the writer's. The Ger
man postal department keeps letter
secret inviolable, but enough has
leaked out to prove that quite
number of guardsmen and noblemen,
some OF them belonging to very aristo-
cratic families, were Implicated. The
contents of these letters are amusing.
One count, who makes a living as re-
porter for a newspaper, asked 100000
for the honor of comforting his name and
hand upon some California heiress. A
Polish prince asked a million for his
title. Over 300 letters were returned to
Berlin alone. How many were sent back
to other parts of Germany, no one can

SAN FRANCISCO, May GA Chronicle
special from Traver, California, says:
At O'Clock last night Mrs. T. A. Bres-
Ter, who lives with her husband five
miles from this place, sent her two girls,
aged IL and 8 years, to bed, and shortly
thereafter entered the room, and seizing
the oldest girl by the throat, proceeded
to strangle her to death. The younger
child ran from the room, pursued by the
mother, who was still clinging to the
other child. The mother followed 200
yards and dropped the older child, who
was then dead, and after pursuing the
other some distance gave up the chase
and returned horne. The little girl soon
arrived at a neighbor's and gave the
alarm. Meanwhile the husband re-
turned home, and finding no
one in the house, gave several
calls and was finally answered by his
wife. Going to the back Of the house
he found her in pool of blood. He
carried her into the house and found
that the front part of her head was lit
orally chopped to pieces. She was per-
fectly conscious, and said she inflicted
the wounds on herself, but gave no
reason for doing SO. She told him where
her child was, and the neighbors, who
had then arrived, soon found the body,
which was closely guarded bv faithful
dog. Several physicians were sum-
moned and pronounced the woman's
case hopeless, the axe with which the
deed was done having penetrated her
brain in several places. The coroner has
left here to hold an investigation. The
woman was evidently insane.

Boats and National Aid.
NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-At p m. Gov
ernor Nichols received from Bayou Sara an
appeal for boat to save the people. The
dispatch said that unless help arrived there
might be great loss of life. A steamer and
barges were at once sent from Baton
Rouge, The wind and rain storm proved
too much for the Bayou Sara levees There
are numerous crevasses and the upper (old)
Morgan sea levee is broken.
Governor Nichols has telegraphed Sena-
tor Gibson that the breaking of the Morgan
sea levee is so great disaster that he feels
justified in appealing for prompt national
aid
A break has occurred in the left bank
near Gardere, ten miles below Baton Rouge
Two crevasses also occurred in the Atcha-
falaya levees, one above and one below
West Melville, The water is running over
the levees all along that section. The pro
lection levee in front of Vidalia has bro
ken and many houses are submerged
This is the first break in the Natchez dis
trict, The Lake Concordia levee gave way
during the day. The lower portion of Con-
cordia parish will be flooded and great
damage must ensue.
The lake water which had encroached on
the outskirts OF New Orleans is gradually
receding, The washouts along the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad have been re-
paired and trains are passing as usual.
Coupee is terrible. 1t is reported that peo-
pie are resorting TO trees for safety. Skif
loads of people are passing through the
streets seeking safety on the hills. They
make sad and gloomy procession-men,
