HOW SILVER ROBBED UP.
TOday's Proceedings the Result Of q
Conference Held Last Night.

The sudden change In the plan of procedure
with regard to the silver bill in the House was
due to a determined stand taken by the ex-
treme silver men against any delay in getting
the bill back into the House and thence
into conference. Mr.. Conger, chairman of
the coinage committee, announced yesterday
that no meeting Of his committee would
he held until the latter part of the week and
that the bill would not be reported to the
House until next week. Speaker Reed and the
committee on rules had laid out an order of
business by which the federal election bill
would be taken up today aud considered from
day to day until finally disposed of. The Torrey
bankruptcy bill was to follow.
THE PROTEST OF THE SILVER MEN.
When the silver mon were told this they pro-
tested. Mr.. Payson and other silver republi-
contest Joining with Messrs. Carter. Bar
tine, Morrow and the remaining republicans
who last week voted with the democrats in
declaring they would not allow this postpone
ment Of the silver bill. A meeting, which was
attended by those gentlemen, as well as by the
the committee on rules and Mr.. Conger OF the
night at the Capitol. The silver
men insisted that the silver bill be dealt with
without delay by the coinage committee and
be brought up in the House. Tho silver men
who had acted with their party in last weeks
contest intimated that they had done 40
at some sacrifices, and would have to act
otherwise if an attempt was made to make the
special orders that were proposed to the exclu-
sion OF the silver bill. Mr.. C0nger said he could
not get his committee together before the end
of this week, but the silver men insisted that
he should secure a meeting. When the meet
ing adjourned 1t was agreed this should be
done and the silver bill made the special order
for today.
IN THE COINAGE COMMITTEE.
AT the meeting OF the coinage committee this
morning it is understood that on the first vote
it was agreed to concur in the Senate amend.
ments by 6 to 8, Mr.. Bartine voting with the
democrats in the Affirmative. But az some of the
anti-silver republicans were absent Mr.. Bar
tine said he would not take advantage of that
fact and later changed his vote, and the Senate
amendments were non-concurred In.

Proposed Substitute Of the House Ju-
dietary Committee for the senate Bill.

The House committee on the judiciary, after
having under consideration for four meetings
the Senate Original package" bill, has de-
cided to report to the House in its stead
the following substitute agreed upon by the
committee this morning, with one dissenting
voice. 1t is broader in scope than the Senate
bill, inasmuch as its provisions apply to all
articles OF interstate commerce, whereas the
Senate bill only applies to intoxicating liquors.
The substitute il as follows:
THAT whenever any article of is
imported into any state from any other state,
territory or foreign nation. and there held or
offered for sale, the same shall then be
subject to the laws Of such state; pro-
vided that no discrimination shall be made
by any state in favor OF it's citizens against
those of other states in respect to the sale of
any article OF nor in favor of its own
products against those of like char
acter produced in other states, nor shall the
transportation of through any state
be INSTRUCTED, except in the necessary enforce
ment of the health laws of such state"
Representative Reed OF lows will prepare
the report on the bill and Representative
Adams, who voted against the bill, will proba-
bly, make a minority report.

THE POLICE INVESTIGATION.
The Accused ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Block Restored to His Old Duty.

The investigation Of certain lieutenantso OF the
police force still continued in Col. Roberts pri-
vate Office and several important witnesses were
examined today.
Tho investigation of the Block case still goes
on, however, and will soon be presented to the
board. The testimony adduced discloses some
queer things. but it is probable that Block
will be INDICATED. Col. Robert. after consulting
with Maj. Moore decided that it would be bet
ter to reinstate Block to his position at head
quarters as inspector of pawn shops and today
it was done. This is u partial vindication, as
Block had been ordered to report after his
leave TO his old precinct for police duty.

TABLETS FOR THE MONUMENT.
Senator Edmunds' Resolution The
Monument Socicty's Plaque.

Senator Edmunds has introduced in the Sem
ate q resolution authorizing an appropriation
OF $4,000 to enable the Secretary of War to
place in the interior of the Washington
monument a tablet stating briefly the
history Of the structure. II is further pro-
vided that no other inscription, tablet or other
thing in the nature Of a memorial shall be
placed therein without the authority of Con-
gress.
THE MONUMENT socIETY's PLAQUE.
The Washington Monument Society has had
a plaque or tablet prepared at considerable ex-
pense, which it was the intention to
place in the monument. A member of
the society in speaking of the mat
ter to a STAR reporter today said that six
years ago a committee was authorized to pre-
pare an inscription which would state the
history OF the society in connection
with the This committee. Of
which Mr.. George Bancroft, the historian
was chairman and President j. c. yelling, DIR.
]. NJ. Toner and Admira c. r. L. Rodgers were
members who performed this duty, and the
inscription reported by them was ap-
proved by the society. He said that the
beyond doubt. 1t gave an account of the So
ciety and those most prominently identified
with it from the beginning. de
thought that the history of the society showed
that it had given steadiness TO a
patriotic purpose and without its aid, the
country would still lack this noble memorial
to Washington. He added that TIM inscription
contained nothing that detracted from the
credit that properly belonged to the
government or any individual II was
OF the society TO the monument. 1t was not
supposed, he said, that the monument would
contain no other memorial. He understood
that the commission intended to erect a tablet,
and this could be done with great propriety.
xSs~r. WHAT SENATOR RDMUNDs SAYS.
Senator Edmunds, in speaking to a STAR
reporter of his resolution relative to tablets in
the Washington monument, said the gentlemen
personally interested in the monument
society were all friends of his. II they had
any differences or disagreements he knew
nothing of them. All his interest in the mat
ter was that which concerned the public-the
keeping pure of the monument. That great
memorial must not be defaced.

The Strike Stops the Illinois Central
Dead.

CHICAGO, June 24.-The strike looks ugly this
morning, linasmuch as it now involves the
immense suburban traffic Of the road.
A meeting Of the strikers was held early this
morning, at which the men decided to stop
the running Of ali trains except those carry
ing the United States mails. Accord
ingly as fast as the suburban trains
came in this morning they were
side tracked and it was not long before the
tracks were completely blocked up. suburban
trains, freight trains and through and
way passenger trains being mixed
in almost inextricable confusion. The
last suburban train arrived ut the depot at $50
a. M, and the men announced that that would
be the last suburban train to come in or go out
until the question as to Superintendent Rus
sells retention was decided one way
or the other. At present the strike effects
the road only from Chicago to Kankakee, but
the men say that unless they gain their point
they will tie up the entire system-Chicago to
New Orleans.
A conference between the men and the Off
cials Of the road has been called for
3 o'clock this afternoon. At 10
O'Clock the strikers agreed to let the express
car be attached to the mail car of the st. Louis
train At 10:15 the two cars and an engine pulled
out, no coaches being attached.

know specifically the evidence he has and will
ask him to submit this evidence in writing as

The Sullivan-Jackson fight, when il comes of.
it 10 said no v. will take place almost under the
shadow Of the Capitol Arrangements have
been made for the fight as soon as pos
sible now that Sullivan is out Of his
Mississippi trouble. The fight, IL il said, 10 to
take place under the auspices OF the Virginia
Athletic Association, and it 10 expected to take
place on the Virginia shore Of the Potomac
near Washington.
THE VIRGINIA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
Some months ago . good deal Of comment
was caused by the enactment OF q Law by the
Virginia legislature which incorporated an
athletic club and gave the officers of the club
omnipotent powers as to its grounds and prop
erty.
Ii is stated today that the club has purchased
the property lying between this city and Alex
andria, known as the Gentlemep's Driving
Park, and propose to erect thereon a fine club
house and such other buildings as may be
necessary.
The work of construction is TO at
once and the management has announced its
intention to have the sullivan-Jackson fight
take place there.
NO FEAR OF INTERFERENCE.
They say they can do this without ~interfer-
ence, for the law plainly states that
no sheriff or police officer has any jurisdiction
over the property Of the club. The
only remedy Is the repeal OF the
Law, and for this purpose q special session Of
the legislature would have to be called. The
Virginia legislature biennial ~body-does not
meet IN regular session for nearly two years.
The management has intimsted that the
opening performance at their new grounds will
be a bull fight. This proposition would bring
out all the objection that could possibly be made
and the matter would then have TO be settled
nv n anrrtn 49,
appear to believe, would uphold the Law as
passed by the last legislature.

The Commissioner today replied TO the res.

questing the Commissioner to inform the
Senate if laborers employed by the District
government on public works in the District of
Columbia are required to work more than
eight hours for a days work, and II 90 to what
extent and under what law. Also il laborcrs

stated, are paid by the District Of Columbia.

and the number of hours Of their daily work.
The Commissioner transmit q statement
showing the classification and number, the
rates OF payment and the number OF hours Of
daily work OF the various classes Of employees
paid by the District.
HOURS OF LABOR.
They say that it will be seen from the state
ment that many Of these employees work more
than eight hours a day, and say that they (the
SohuuiicoiOuctbJ dIC III WRIT VI any law ToKu~
lating the number OF hours OF employment.
They say further that under a law Of the cor
p~oration of Washington before that corpora
ton was abolished it prescribed the hours of
labOrers employed on its public works and their
rate OF payment. but that the law applied spe-
officially to the laborers of that corporation and,
consequently, expired when the charter Of that
corporation was revoked.
WAGES IN COUNTY AND CITY.
1t is difficult to ascertain now they say, Why
laborers in the suburban sections are paid
less than those employed In the city on
District work. The Commissioner say further
that they are informed by an official connected
with the employment of these laborers that the
rate OF pay Of labor In the county was fixed to
meet the wishes of the farmers and truck gar
deners living contiguous to and in tho District,
who represented that they could not probably
pay more than s1.25 per day for labor, and
that il the District paid more for work on the
roads OF the District it would be impossible
for them to employ laborers at rates which
would permit them TO carry on their business.
Other reasons, as the greater cheapness of liv-
ing in the country, DC, they continue, seem to
have entered into the problem, but the protest
of the agricultural element seems to have had
the principal influence in fixing the rate.

Tn case of Patrick Cavanaush, the old SOL

Wineberger in Garvey's saloon on the 7th

today. The defendant was represented by Mr..

part OF the defense that Cayanaueh did
the cutting and his counsel claimed that the in
juries to the old soldiers arm received during
the war rendered him physically unable TO do
the emitting. Judge Miller held him in 800
security for the action Of the grand jury.
