YESTERDAY IN cdAc8Ess.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The@ eQate re-
sumed consideration of the conADeence re-
port on the silver bill and was addressed
by Morgan in opposition of the report. He
expected day when there was to be crisis
in the question of the currency of the
United States, as much SO in regard to the
demonetizatlon Of silver and confning Of
coins to single gold standard as was the
act of 1873. He did not know but the effect
of the vote to be taken to-day, If it should
bill, would be really more fatal to the pros
than the act Of 1873. THE legislation Of
1873 had been." he said, IAN act Of
cold-blooded assassination of the silver
dollar. It had been presided over by the
name of a senator whose fine Italian hand
was to be seen in the conference bill,
which was a total departure from the
action of both the house and senate, and was
as essentially new as If it had been a
novel written by the senator from Ohio
within the last five days.'' Morgan went
on to speak Of legislation on all important
matters being now entirely controlled by
conference committees, committees of arbi-
tration whose proceedings were secret, so
that if such committee were bribed to the
extent of hundred million dollars no SEN
ator would be permitted to find it out.
Inns statement was CnAllen9oQ ana caused
some side talk between Morgan, Allison
and Sherman. Morgan resumed his argu-
ment against the conference bill and called
the attention of the friends of free coinage,
particularly of the senator from Colorado
(Teller) to the fact that the same "fine
Italian hand' which framed the bill
of 1873 operated in the conference
bill to destroy utterly any hope of
the demonstration of silver SO long as it re-
manned unrepealed. He predicted that when
others of the conference came to realize
what they had done they would feel like
kicking themselves over ten-acre field
The bill would monometalize the country;
would make gold the only thing with which
to pay debts on any property. The craft of
the senator from Ohio could not ''after
twelve months consideration have fixed
up bill that would more thoroughly de-
stroy silver forever as money.
Plumb spoke in it's favor. The confer
ence bill would give the country az much
money during the next year as free coinage
would give. The bill il long step IN the
right direction. It is his belief that if the
bill becomes law SO nicely and easily will it
work and so helpful will it be to all the peo-
pie of the United States that the next step
will be free coinage. He would vote for the
conference bill regretting that it is no bet
ter, and glad it is no worse. After further
| debate vote was taken and the conference
ropOrt agreed to. veaS 40 navs M

manager MOhler Thus ClAssifies q New
York Rumor.
ST. PAUL, July 1O.-[Spncial.l- tele-
gram from New York states that a coali-
tion between the Great Northern and the
Chicago, Burlington g. Northern is among
the possibilities of the near future. The
reasons given are that some of the heaviest
stockholders in the Burlington are also
heavy holders in the Great Northern. and
also that the action of the Northern Pacific
in getting control of the Wisconsin Central
has compelled the Great Northern also to
look for Chicago extension. General
Manager Mohler, of the Great Northern,
however, when questioned about the mat
ter by a reporter, said: "What, have they
taken up that old chestnut burr again?
Why, it's old enough to have horns. ANY
man who will deliberately resurrectsRthat
story is capable Of Noah's ark"

Plumb Out OF Line,

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Dr. Ensor, who il
one Of the few republican carpet-baggere
left in South Carolina politics, was talking
to his old friend Senator Plumb, when he
was in Washington several weeks ago. and
complaining, as usual, that he could not get
elected to congress from South Carolina be-
cause his white neighbors did not like his
associating politically with negroes.
"Well," said Plumb, in his blunt. bust
ness-like way, "what do you stay there for?
wouldn't stay where wasn't wanted.
Why don't you sell out and leave? Come
out to Kansas. There's plenty of room out
there for you to run for congress.''
"Weil," DR.. Ensor said, Il don't want to
come away. l have some property there,
and want to stay there; but would like
to como to congress, and l will. too, If you
would pass the Federal election bill"
"Yes," said Plumb, "that's Just it, You
fellows can't get elected to congress unless
you have an army at your back. Well. now,
the day for that sort of thing is past in this
country, and will never come back again.
We tried that matter very fully under

WAsHrNaroN, July 10.-[Special.l l-Mr.

ing the fact that Supervisor Speer was per
fectly satisaed and had telearaphed 20 CON-

would like to have the matter looked into.
Mr.. Porter telegraphed Speer that he
thought it advisable for him to call together

see il the claims of the citizens were veri-

IN A BACHELORS BED.

Tho Embarrassing Joke Friend Played
| ON Gov. Hill.
| NEW YORK, July 1O.-Gov. David B. Hill
entered the apartments provided for him
during his entertainment by Gen. Earle at
Normandie-by -the-Sea. It was Thursday
night and the governor was about to 90 to
bed. He locked the door, lighted the gas
low and calmly and deliberately began to
prepare the gubernatorial form for it's
nocturnal repose, when the cares Of state
are lost in the unconsciousness Of peaceful
slumber. There was, of course, bed in
the room. and this certainly would not ac-
count for the look of wonderment that
filled the gubernatorial eye as, after lazily
wandering about the apartment, lit finallv
rested upon the daintily prepared couch.
No, there was something unusual about
the appearance of the counterpane; some
| thing unusual. at least. for an unoccupied
bed. As rapidly as if about to veto an nm
popular Legislative measure, the hand of the
executive reached out and turned on Hood
of light. Stepping gently to the bed the
same outstretched hand softly pulled down
the coverings.

VERY FOOLISH PROCEEDING.

The New York Tribune Voices Public Som
timent Anent tho Behring Sea,
New York, July 1O-The Tribune in an
editorial on the Behring Sea matter TO-
morrow will say: Congress has acted wise
ly in calling for the correspondence in the
controversy. It is evident that Lord Sails
bury is advancing some of the most absurd
contentious. There is some reason to be-
lieve that certain quality of menace has
been impaired to his later tones. Some
curious military and naval operations have
been going ON lately about our coasts.
Great Britain has been strengthening heI
splendid defenses At Halifax, increas-
ing the military and naval forces
there, adding to her feet at
the Bermudas and Bahamas and sending
a considerable squadron TO Behring sea. II
she desired this display to be interpreted
by the United States as menace, she ia en-
gagged in foolish and regrctable business.
It is not agreeable to q spirited people to
feel that an effort is being made to awe
them into submission by display Of the
engines of force. We can imagine no pro
ceeding ON England's part more likely Ia
convince American people that the
Behring sea is a mare clausum
than the presence Of English, gun;
boats in the neighborhood Of
Pribzlof islands. We can fancy no DEM
onstration more admirably calculated to
unite this country in resolute determine.
tion to persist in its extreme demand than
the sight of British cruiser lowering
around and down the Atlantic coast. It ID
desirable that Great Britain should appre.
ciate this point. America cannot suppose
this unusual congress of war ships is an ex.
nreHaiOn of oannine Rr,kiah annfimant hr,
but whatever it means, it serves no good
purpose, and the British government will
do itself favor by ordering its cruisers
away.
