WASHINGTON, D. c., June GA conference
of republican members had long discussion
on silver legislation.
Representative Walker, of Massachusetts,,
submitted a proposition which, in effect,
proposed reference of the bill back to the
former caucus committee, with instructions
to report hill which VIII place gold and
silver on parity by allowing the issue of
certificates to an unlimited extent of deposits
of either metal at the market value.
The silver men Immediately made the OBJ
lection that there could be no parity as long
as the privilege of free coinage accorded to
gold was denied to silver.
Representative Dorsey, Of Nebraska, sub
mitted as a substitute for the caucus bill q
draft of q bill which he proposes to intro
duce In the house. 1t provides that any
holder or American silver may deposit it in
the treasury and receive full legal tender GER
tifcates on the basis of the market price of
silver; that sufficient bullion shall be coined
10 meet the needs of redemption. and that
the national bank note redemption fund
shall be covered into the treasury.
Representative Perkins, of Kansas, at
tackled the mono-metalIsts in a vigorous
speech, and his objections to the bullion re-
demption feature of the caucus bill.
Finally, Representative Mckinley came to
the front with a compromise proposition
He proposed that the treasury shall purchase
s., 5000 worth of American silver each
month; that the certificates in payment
therefor shall be of full legal tender quality.
redeemable In lawful money, and that silver
bullion may be coined to meet the demand
OF redemption His proposition also con-
tanned the national bank redemption fund
feature of the Dorsey bill, and also provi-
sion that when gold and silver reach par there
shall be free coinage.
Its bullion redemption provision of the
caucus bill was therefore Immediately as
Baulted by several members on that account.
Speaker Reed led the attack, and after
making a speech in favor of including the
bullion redemption features, vote was taken,
resulting in its insertion In the Mckinley
substitute.
The substitute was amended and was then
adopted.
An effort was made to secure the passage
Of resolution binding the republican mem
bers to support in the house this last caucus
measure.
Representative Payson submitted propo-
Etion contemplating a recognition of the
right Of a republican member TO offer amend
ments to the bill when II comes before the
house. This was negatived, and when the
caucus adjourned there was a good deal of
confusion in the minds of members as to
whether or not they were bound to support
the caucus proposition.

SLAVE TRADE.

Plea Of stopping the Slave Trade
Has the ERses TO Increase It.
Natives Starving.

LoED0s, June 1.-The European powers
gress IN their professed object of suppressing
the slave trade which Is made the preteIt for
ssizing and sppOrtioning Africa The Red
sea trade IN kidnapping children continues
to flourish without any attempt being made
for its suppression Several thousand of
these children are kidnapped from Africa
every year and disposed of at VARIOUS places
along the Red sea. where they are subjected
to terrible treatment The fact that there L
no fertile territory to be seized under the
pretext of stopping the cruel trade In inno-
cent and helpless humanity, probably ac-
counts for t'ae circumstance that England
does not snare any of her immense feet for
that purpose, although the British station At
Alden Is very near the track of the slaves, and
80 far from suppressing slavery on the east
coast and along the Congo, the system Is
rather encouraged By the compensation paid
to slave owners for the labor of their human
chattelS, and the anKieties of the various
European invaders of the dark continent to
realize On their investments has made tho
traffic In slaves brisker than before. The
most appalling accounts are received of the
suferings of the people IN upper Egypt and
along the scene of the expedition for the re-
hef of Gordon. Il Is said that the inhabi
tants, driven desperate by starvation, feed
upon each other, while all kinds of animals,
however loathsone, are eagerly sought for
food. The Wretched people fight With each
other for morsels. and hundreds are perish
ing daily. Failure of crops Is said to cause
this awful misery, though the wars IN which
British ambition for the territory has proni-
nently figured, has doubtless had their inhu-
ence In causing the failure of the crops. In
deed, 1t Is said that the slaughter of the male
population left the devastated region without
sufficient male labor to raise the crops.

the board of supervisors of 1863 that In De-

granting to every man who should enlist
after that date $50. In January following
the board passed another resolution grant
ing bounty to all who had enlisted before,
or should enlist after that date, due in $50
annual payments with 6 per "ent. interest on
the unpaid amounts. I o < accordingly
filed claim for $125, as he lad received SIS
when he enlisted, and the accrued compound
interest for over rwenty-seven years amount
ing to over $500. He further discovered that
it would take over $4,000 to pay the claims
to which soldiers enlisting from this county
are entitled. The only thing which can pre-
vent the collection of these claims Is the
statute of limitations, which, it is said, does
not apply to debts of governments to its de-
tenders Exciting developments are ex-
