Other End of the Avenue.

son had . lengthy conference today in the

Senator Evarts' speech.

ment was made restricting the portion of

THE SILVER QUESTION IN THE SENATE
The committee Of republican Senators
charged with the duty Of framing silver bill,
IL possible, that shall secure the united support
OF the majority in the Senate, held another
meeting last night at the residence OF Mr..
Sherman. There were two propositions before
the committee, which are receiving especial at
tention, first, to authorize unlimited coinage
OF silver bullion produced in the United States;
second, to limit the amount of silver to be
coined at $50 600, 600 year, to be purchased
by the Secretary OF the Treasury without re-
gard to the place OF production. An impress
sion prevails that the latter proposition will be
finally adopted and recommended as the basis
upon which to frame the bill.

THEY WANT GOVERNMENT aAs.
Minors Who Attend Disorderly Gather
ings on the Streets at Night.

'There is a good provision in the disorderly
conduct law" said a lawyer to a STAR reporter
this morning, "but it is never carried into eff
feet 1t is that part Of the law that was in
tended to keep young men out Of disorderly
and disreputabie gatherings at night" The
lawyer then referred to Webb's Digest and read
the section Of law applicable to minors as fol-
lows:
'And it is hereby made lawful for the mayor.
chief of police, the several police magistrates
and officers, the captain and other members Of
the auxiliary guard, and they are hereby re-
CURED, whenever any minor or minors shall be
found after 10 O'Clock at night congregated at
such places where there Is cursing swearing
loud, boisterous, profane, indecent or obscene
language, OF any other dsorderly proceeding
such as Is made unlawful by this act, and said
minor or minors are not under the personal
charge or attendance Of their parent, guard
sponsible person, or have not the
permission of their parent or guardian in writ
ing to be at such place or places. to arrest such
minor or minors and convey him. her or them
70 the residence of his, her or their parent or
guardian if the same be known; and in case the
said minor or minors shall refuse to make
known their residence or give false statement
In relation thereto to convey him, her or them
to the watch or lookup house nearest to the
place of such arrest, there to be kept and dealt
with as disorderly persons brought to the
watch house at night for vagrancy or disorderly
conduct"
THE PROPER COURSE TO PURSUE WITH CHILDREN.
''For some reason or other" continued the
lawyer, that section is seldom, if ever, en-
forced OF course, no one would expect the
officers to take young men nineteen or twenty
years old to their parents, but, certainly, when
children OF tender years are arrested, and they
are usually arrested for some trifiing offense,
they should not be thrown into cells where
criminals are incarcerated Some consideration
should be shown them on account of their
age and instead Of being started on the road to
a criminal career they should be looked after
by the officers and led in better direction
There was q case in Baltimore the other day
that fully demonstrates the danger Of placing
children behind the bars. As published in
The STAR two days ago the boy, who was only
twelve years old, was incarcerated in prison
cell for striking another boy with a stone. The
surroundings were different from what he had
been used to, and his imprisonment coupled
with the offense had the effect Of unbalancing
the little fellows mind. 1t is better to put the
police to q little trouble and have the boys
grow up good citizens than to put them in the
way of becoming criminals"

The Russian Students.

ST.. PETERsBuRo, April 1.-The Official Mes
serlger says that the students at the various
public institutions Of learning in Russia, who
took part in the recent agitations, had no
grounds for dissatisfaction. Friendly advice
proved unavailing to stop their demonstra-
tions and the authorities were compelled to
adopt stern measures to subdue their insubor-
dination. Fifty-fve students at the agricul-
tural academy at Moscow have been sent home
and three have been expelled; twenty have
been sent home from the st. Petersburg Uni
versity and two have been expelled; twenty
three sent home and two expelled from the
Psychological Institute; thirteen sent home
and two expelled from the School Of Forestry,
and fifteen sent home and two expelled from

TO PUT GOVERNMENT WIRES UNDERGROUND.
Recently the Commissioners had submitted
to them for report House bill 646l. ITO pro-
vide for placing the electric wires connecting
the several departments OF the government Of
Washington, d. c., underground" In his re-
port to Col. Robert Capt. Lusk, to whom the

port and shall require bond or security in the

LIEUT.. sTEELE's MISTAKES.
They are Sharply Set Forth In Maj. Gen.
Schofield's Reprimand.

Gen. schoAeld has issued the reprimand to
Lieut. Matthew n. Steele, in conformity with
the sentence imposed By the court-martial
which recently tried him for striking Private
Wild. The order Of reprimand ID a. follows:
HEADQUARTERS DIVISION or TEE MISSOURI.
'wAsHISGroS, DC, April 10, 1890
''The proceedings, findings and sentence in
the case Of Lieut. Matthew T. Steele, eighth
cavalry, are approved The sentence will be
duly executed.
"A temporary loss Of self-control in dealing
With the mutinous conduct Of a soldier has
already resulted in subjecting Lieut. Steele to
the punishment OF public and official CEN
sure, to which little can now be added
by . formal reprimand. The lesson
taught by this incident is instructive % all
young officers OF the army, by showing them
qualitcstion for the command Of men. Abuse
Of subordinates by words or blows cannot be
tolerated under any circumstances. The
United States army has heretofore won un-
bounded confidence by the cool, dispassionate
manner in which its duties have always been
performed, even under the most trying circum-
stances. This high character cannot be main
tained II officers permit themselves to be gov
erned by feeling in their official conduct toward
each osher and the men under their command
III 10 proper to remark, in connection with
this case, that Lieut. Steele committed an un-
fortunate mistake in acting as prosecutor in the
trial OF soldier with whom he had had per-
sonal difficulty. This resulted from the acci-
dental circumstance that Lieut. Steele WAS the
judge advocate Of existing court before
which this case was sent for trial Although
the Judge advocate Of court martial is not
one of the judges who try the cause, and al
though there is no provision OF law for the
challenge Of judge advocate by the accused,
yet nice sense Of propriety and due appre-
citation Of self interest should suggest to Of
fcer the wisdom Of requesting TO be excused
from the duty Of prosecutor under such cir
cumstances. Such request would, OF course,
be respected by the commanding general who
appointed the court j. NJ ScHoFIELp,
"Major General Commanding"
The court remarked that il was lenient in
this case on account Of the great provocation
under which Lieut. Steele acted and of his e1-
cellent character as shown in evidence.

dR. RANDALL GROWS WEAKER,
With That Exception There 10 no Change
Today In His Condition.

Representative Randall's condition continues
unchanged from yesterday, save that he il
gradually growing weaker and weaker. It 10
thought that he will last the day out, but
his great endurance can hardly sustain
him more than a very few days at
the most He rests easily and sleeps Q good
part Of the time. His rest Is natural for his
state Of ill-health, and there is no need 70 give
him anything 10 induce sleep. He takes
nourishment regularly. So far as pos
nble perfect quiet is maintained about
the sick chamber. and not even all the MEM
bers Of the family are allowed to see him, as
the presence OF any one he has not grown &C
customed to seeing during his illness might
excite him and induce him to talk.
Secretary Blaine called at Mr.. Randalrs resi-
dence yesterday evening but did not see him.
Mr. Randall's vitality has been almost mar.
velous, and even at the present rate of rapid
sinking life may last for several DAYS. Dr. Mallon
s assiduous in his attention and is in and out of
the sick room almost continually. As in most
cases Of blood poisoning Mr.. Randall sleeps q
good portion Of the time and today suffers little
or no pain.
TALK WITH THE DOCTOR.
Or. Mallon told . STAR reporter today that
the conditions were almost the same, although
the patient was apparently weaker. Nourish-
mont in sufficient quantities are taken easily
in 9 liquid form.
One organ after another, however, is gradu-
ally becoming weaker and loosing power to
properly perform the regular functions.
CONSULTATION.
Dr. Mallon and DR.. Lincoln held q consulta-
ton today at the bedside. 81 have no idea, N
said DR.. Mallon, "of Mr. Randalrs imme diats
death, but it 10 impossible to predict and the
change may come at any moment"
1t Is mistake that opiates have been needed,
- no necessity has arisen for their use.
The callers today have been numerous, but
no one has been admitted TO the sick room ex-
cept the family and physicians. Among the
callers yesterday afternoon was Secretary
Blaine.
Mr.. Randall when awake is reported to be
conscious in a drowsy kind of way and it ID
thought realizes bis condition.
