OREGON SENATORS DISAGREE.
They Entertain Very Opposite Opinions
Upon tho silver Oupstion.

WASHINGTON, May lO-In tho Senate to-day
the silver bill was taken up. with Mr. Dolph on
the floor lie thought that international BIZ
metalllsm was desirable. So far az ho knew
there was not q member OF the Senate who was
not In favor of both gold and silver as money.
In considering tho various plans proposed hp
was satisfied that tho plan proposed by tho
Secretary OF tho Treasury was open to less
aud 10 fewer objections than any Of the
others, II tho purpose was 10 keep both
gold and silver oolnhgo In circulation.
iio argued against the FREQ coinage Of silver
as something that would stop tho coinage OF
gold. but remarked that what bo said In regard
TO fres coinage did not. of gourse, apply 10 ir1o
coinage under an international agreement es-
tabliahing ratio between gold and silver. At
the close of Mr. Dolph'H speech, Mr.. Teller
criticised some points Of lt md SAID that IL
wouldn't do for that Senator or any OthOr
Senator 20 say with JUNCTION that hn was for tho
double standard or Tor silver. and then favor
measures which were absolutely destructive OF
silver as money. lie did not propose that tho
country should be deceived into believing that
the proposition which came from the Finance
Committee meant silver at all. On the con-
trary, he asserted that 1t meant single gold
standard.
Mr. Mitchell expressed his dissent from tho
views expressed by his colleague (MT. Dolph),
saying: ~ desire 10 state for whatever u
amounts to, here and elsewhere Ot may not
amount to very much). that dissent from the
speech just made in toto, and wish that dis
tinctly understood. The two State conven-
tions that recently met in the State of Oregon.
one Republican state Convention, the other
Democratic State Convention, each re-
solved unanimously, without any besita-
tion or equivocation whatever, that they
were in favor of the free and unllu-
tied coinage OF silver. l believe that
each OF those conventions was composed OF the
representative men OF the respective parties OF
our State. l believe that they knew what they
were about. / believe they understood what
they were doing. believe In adopting those
resolutions they voiced the sentiment almost
universally Of the people Of the State of Ore
gon. Therefore | do not desire 1t to GO out that
his speech here to-day on this question voices
the whole of the sentiment OF the State of Ore
gon so far as the representation of that State
Is concerned on this floor. Iexpressed in a
speech made on the 10Th day OF January last
my views on this question"

AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE IMPROVED.

A very striking example of the service
which the Exposition Society can render to
Pittsburg, and OF the Limitation of its use
fulness by its straitened finances is present
ed by the case reported in our local col
umns. Five important firms, of other
places whose exhibits would have been val
liable features of the Exposition, have been
refused space in the next exhibition simply
because all available space in the present
buildings has been occupied; and the E1-
position Society has not the funds to put up
new buildings. At least two of these firms.
if they had been encouraged to come here
with their exhibits, would probably have
located either their main establishments or
important branches in this city.
The mere statement of these facts should
arouse the business public to a prompt
movement for securing that the Exposition
shall not be compelled to turn away i'm
portant business for lack of ability to &C.
commodate it. The fact that months before
the second exhibition the managers have to
refuse exhibitors space, is proof of the re-
markable success of the project. But the
further fact that important advantages
might be secured to Pittsburg if the society
had the comparatively small amount OF ad-
ditional capital needed to put up the build
ings, should stimulate Pittsburg to action.
The sale of few hundred life memberships
would probably furnish all the accommoda-
tions needed, and if they are promptly sub
scribed the additional building could be
completed in time for the next Exposition.
Pittsburg should be prompt to secure the
advantages that are SO plainly placed before
her,

A KN0CKABOUT FARCE.
McCarfhy's Mlshaps - Herrmann's Dark
secrets-AlI the Plays.


1t literally takes a meatax to carve out the
fun in "McCarthy's Mishaps," the farce
comedy which was gwen for the first time in
Pittsburg at the Bijou Theater last night Mr.
Barney Ferguson and Mr.. John =. Marr are the
two athletic comedians who have to hammer,
slap, wrestle, tumble and dance out all the
humor that this remarkable production con-
tains. That they are alive at the end of the
performance Is quite wonder. If there IS
anything in the farce besides the knockdown
and dragout features we could not see it. But
the riotous tomfoolery, in which Messrs. Fer
guson and Marr>engage, undeniably makes the
audience laugh. The company contains some
pretty girls, q capital dancer in Miss Lizzie
DAILY, and clever little girl, little Vinie DAILY.
The Garden City Quartet will not compare
with the several quartets Pittsburg heard last
week.
AS for the farce itself, there is absolutely no
need to say anything about it. 1t is not Of the
least consequence to the players or the audi
ence.

Manager Johnston Gould Fiji Several Build
IuRs Like Machinery Hall.


Ings Like Machinery Hall.
Manager Johnston, OF the Exposition Society,
says he could fill several more buildings such rs
Machinery Hall with exhibits this year, If he
had the space. He uses this as an argument
that the business men Of the city should come
forward with their money and build an addi-
tonal Machinery Hall before the opening of
the Exposition in September, which could be
done.
In speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr..
Johnston said he had been compelled to refuse
space to outside exhibitors in favor of Pitts.

been refused to fill another building, and some
of the outsiders were manufacturers who
might have located in Pittsburg permanently
had they been accommodated this year.
II the Exposition is as great financial sue
cess this year and next as it was last the
society will be able to build the music hall
without any further aid from the citizens, but
