LoSpoN, June "a deputation from
Scotland visited Mr.. Chaplin, Minister
OF Agriculture, to-day and asked himto
modify the restriction against the i'm.
portation Of American cattle. The chief
arguments Of the deputation in s,lpnort
Of thelr request was the scarcity OF store
cattle in Great Britain and the absence
OF pleuro-pneumonia in America. n
IN reply to the request, Mr.. Chaplin
SAID that the bulk Of the farmers of
Great Britain favored restriction. He
was unable, he declared, to hold out the
slightest hope Of any modification Of the
present regulations governing the i'm
portation OF cattle, even II cattle in
America were entirely free from the
disease. - ) - 4 - -

President Of the First National Bank OF
thiscity, glaes manufacturer, aud one
of the best known capitalists OF Western
Pennsylvania. About three weeks ago
Kissinger, who has been leading re.
spectacle life since his release from the
penitentiary, called on Mr.. FoItz and

for him and tried to obtain his consent
to murder him, promising him 81 900 for
the job. kissin2er was told to 70 ahead
and make the arrangements with the
woman, and If possible to learn the plot.
Detectives kept within hearing distance

The motive for seeking the murder OF
Mr.. Follz Is not known. A corresnond.
ent interviewed Mrs. McGin,y. She
said: "About three weeks AGO a stran.

end OF the game would funk out and he
would get nothing"
Mrs. McGinty said she did not know

or where he lived, excep. that he said
he lived out OF town. She claims he

SHERMAN SPEAKS
On tho Silver Dill In tho Scnnto-lIo Makes
Iuunrtunt StntementH

On tho Sllver Dlll In tho Sonnto-lIc Makes
Important Statements.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-1n the Senate
to-day the silver bill was taken up. ,.
Mr.. Sherman then addressed the
Senate. He had, he said, consented to
the increase Of circulation proposed in
the bill, fifty.four millions 4 year.e,He
saw no objections to that, although he
thought it little larger than was neces.
sary. He believed Treasury notes based
on silver bullion were safer. That was
far preferable to the free coinage OF
silver; because, with all the efforts
made to get the silver dollars in circula-
ton there was not one OF them in circu-
lation for every iuhabitant. Passing to the
question OF the demonstration of silver
in 1873, Mr.. Sherman gave history OF
that transaction, so as to set at rest for
ever all the charges OF bad faith and con.
spiracy in connection with it. No bill,
he said, had ever been more fully dis
cnssed than that, and yet his friend Mr..
Morrill, and himself, who had voted
against it, because it discontinued the
charges for coinage, were constantly de-
nounced as conspirators, while the Sem
ators from the Pacific Coast, all OF whom
voted for it, posed as victims. He
thought it necessary, he said, in closing
that subject, to trace down the lie, not
only for himself, but for all others en-.
gagged in that legislation.
Coming back to the question. OF the
bill; he said that the result OF free COIN
age would be to demonetize gold and
to cause gold to he boarded or exported.
The pound sterling would be worth six
dollars instead Of 81 50; and the Ameri-
can dollar would be, as in colonial times,
worth three shillings, or six francs.
In conclusion, Mr.. Sherman said that
he would vote for any measure that
would, in his judgment, secure and
maintain the bi-metallic standard.
Mt. Teller congratulated himself that
the mask was of the faces OF the so.call-
ed silver party. The gentleman Mr..
Sherman) was evidently for gold as a
standard, and the abandonment Of silver
Us a money metal.
Mr.. Stewert again referred to the bill
oi 1873, That demonetized the silver dol
lar, and said that the amendment de.
monetizing silver had never been read
in tho House.
Mr. Sherman produced the original
bill and showed it had been read and
voted on in the House, and amended
thereon by his own motion. Mr., Stew.
art asserted it was not read, and Mr.
Sherman said he was sorry n Senator
who had the testimony before him
could not frankly and fairly withdraw
his charges OF impropriety.
Mr.. Stewart said he had been charged
with being present when the transaction
took place. ,
Mr.. Aldrich said that not only had
Nh. Stewart voted on the amendment,
but he had actually spoken upon two
sections Of the bill. How could the
Senator say after that that he did not
know that silver was to be demonetized ?
The silver bill'went over wishout ac.
ton. ' 'f-- K
