WINDOWS SILVER BILL.
The House Committee Amend the Pa

The House Committee Amend the Para
agraph on Free Coinage.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Eleven mem
bers of the house committee on coinage,
weights and measures were present Mon
day when the Window silver bill was
again under discussion. The amend
ment offered by Mr.. Bartine, passed upon
by the committee formally last Monday,
when there was smaller attendance,
providing for free coinage when the
price of silver reaches 81 for 81. .25 grains
of pure silver, was voted upon, and
adopted by majority vote.
Mr.. Williams offered an amendment,
which was adopted striking out the
section in the bill authorizing the secre-
tary of the treasury to suspend tempor-
arily the receipt Of silver bullion at any
time when he is satisfied that through
combination or speculative manipulation
of the market the price of silver is arbi-
trary nominal or fictitious. A motion
offered by Mr.. Bartine, providing that
the notes issued for silver bullion de-
posted shall be redeemed upon demand
in lawful money, was lost and motion
to reconsider made, which was pending
when the hour of adjournment arrived.
The bill thus goes over until next Mon
day. In fact, several members of the
committee were absent from Monday
mornings meeting. what was done Mon
day may be recalled and amended again
at the next meeting

COwardIy Attempt on the Life of a
Claim Jumper at Butte, Mont.
BUTTE, Mont, March j9.-An attempt
was made here Monday morning to take
the life of j. Y. Skidmore by blowing
him up with giant power. Skidmore
last fall jumped a claim and built a
cabin, which he now occupies. He was
absent from the cabin few minutes
Monday morning, and when he again
entered an explosion took place, which
knocked him senseless, killed his dog,
knocked hole through the roof ard
floor of the cabin, and shattered things
generally. Skidmores face was lacera-
ted by two pieces of iron, one of his legs
was a mass of wounds and the other
was also injured. II is supposed an en-
emy put a can of giant power in the
cabin during Skidmore's temporary alb
sence and lighted a slow fuse.

From an English Standpoint.

LONDON, March l9.-The revival of
the anti-English excitement in Llsbon in
consequence of the action of Acting
Consul Buchanan in raising the British
flag over the Shire district is every
where regarded as unfortunate
1he exhibition of popular feeling
against England and everything En-
glish, which followed Lord Salisbury's
ultimatum, without doubt svbsided Just
in time to prevent Portugal from getting
into trovble, and it is the general opin-
ion that Lisbon authorities would better
serve the interests of their country by
speedily suppressing the idiotic frenzy
of the people, which threatens injury to
the British legation, than by indulging
in impotent official raving against the
inevitable action of an irresistible foe,
meanwhile, leaving irresponsible stu
dents and others to commit outrages for
which the government must answer.
1t is not at all likely that Consul Bu-
chanan has acted with authority, there
fore it may be accepted as foregona
conclusion that the protest which Portu
gal has lodged against his formal occu-
patton of the disputed territory, will
meet with reception similar to that
which Lord Salisbury has given to the
previous protests of the Lisbon govern
ment. In all respects the situation seems
more grave for Portugal than at any
previous stage of the controversy, and it
is the more unfortunate that the Lisbon
authorities appear to be unable to realize
that fact.

Chinese Laundries Must O..

NEW York, March 10. - The pro-
prietors of the big steam laundries in the
United States, representing, it is said,
$50, ,000, 600 in their plants, have decided
that the Chinese laundries must be
driven out of the business The chief
executive committee of the master laun-
drymen met in this city Monday night
and decided that the association shall do
everything SO far as it can to wrest from
the Chinese the control of the laundry
business. This action was precipitated
by the attempt of six Chinese companies
to purchase the largest laundries in the
