SILVER THE THEME.
Senators Still Wrestling With the Hard
Money Problem.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-In the Senate
the silver bill was taken up and Mr..
Dolph addressed the Senate. He thought
that international bimetalism was desir-
able. So far as he knew there was not
a member OF the Senate who was not in
favor OF both gold and silver as money.
He argued against the free coinage OF
silver as something that would stop the
coinage OF gold.
Mr.. Teller said that he did not propose
that the country should be deceived into
believing that the proposition which
came from the Finance Committee
meant silver at all On the contrary,
he asserted that IL meant a single gold
standard.
Mr.. Mitchell dissented from the views
of Mr.. DOlph. and said that gentleman
did not voice the sentiment OF Oregon,
as both their Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions have endorsed the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
On motion OF Mr.. Wilson, OF Iowa, 1t
was ordered that the Senate bill subject
ing imported liquors to the provisions Of
the law of the several States, shall be
taken up tomorrow after the routine
morning business.

BAYNE HUMBLED.
How Republican Paper Regards the
Episode.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1.-THE
correspondent OF the PittSburg ChroH-
iclc-Teleqrdph, an uncOmpromiSing Re
publican paper. published in Bayne'S
home. telegraphs his paper as follows
concerning the Baync-Bynum episode:
The general impression among
members on both sides OF the floor is
that while Mr. Bayne escaped the cen
sure THAT was visited ON Bynum for his
part I'm the diSgraceful proceedings Of
saturday night. he was even more cul-
pable than the Representative from the
indianapolis district. He was the ag-
grcssor. and responsible for the whole
scene OF disorder and personal Wilt
fcatiou His unparliamentary lam
guage was. however, allowed To pass,
and when subsequent proceedings had
iutervened il was too late To take down
his words Had the proper course been
taken hc also would have been cen
sured
Mr.. Bayne'S speech to-day in reply to
Mr.. Wilson. of West Virginia, was a
virtual apology to the House for his
part in Saturday nights scenes. The
House having been satisfied with Mr..
Bvnum'S ccnSure and Mr., Bayne's
apology again resolved itself into .
deliberate body and went ON with the
consideration Of the tariff.

A CHANCE FoK MIR. SMITH.
The Galipolis Marine Hospital-Mr
Kenna Watchful w. Va. Interests.

Special telegram % tbs.Rsgi'isr
WASHINGTON. May l9.-The passage
bv the Senate of a bill TO establish
marine hospital at Gallipolis, Ohio, has
afforded a prcteXt TO the Ltclligcnccr
correspondent To suggest that Senator
Kenna's neglect lost this establishment
for Point Pleasant. The inSinuauOn OF
neglect ON the part of Senator kenna Is
stupid. If the public knows anything
10 knows that for thir,een years no
man i'm Congress has been more asSidlOuS
n looking after the local interests OF
his people than Senator kenna. The
Great Kanawha, and, i'm fact, every
naVigable stream in West Virginia, the
Charleston and ClarkSburg pOStOtfce
buildings and things generally in
that region. vindicate this SuggeS-
tion. The fact is that in the great
demand upon the Treasury amounting
to near two million dollars for the inn
proycmeut of the kauawha river includ-
ing the Ice Harbor 0t Point Pleasant
have taxed the energies and best en-
dcayorS OF the West Virginia delegates.
lu this great enterprise il is only fair To
say that gentlemen representing the
neighboring districts I'm Ohio have cX-
hibited a friendly and ncighborly Senti-
mput. Mr. GrOSvenOr, who Is now on
the House Committee OF Rivers and llar-
hors. has been generous in his support
of the West Virginia Senators and the
West Virginia delegation i'm the en-
deavor 10 promote and facilitate inn
movements. With the Great kanawha
river with no least two million dollars
and with harbOr provided for AT the
mouth of the Kanawha at Point Pleas
amt. with the further fact that Gaillpo-
Iis was for many years the real terml-
mus of the Kanawha navigation,
90 is drawing things very
iue for partisan newspaper
to SAY that moderate appropriation Tor

FAIRMoNT, w. VA, May l0.-Elisha
Brumage died at Montana Mines on
yesterday Sunday evening, at G:3O
o'clock from injuries inflicted by fel-
low workman. 1t seems that Brumage
and one Richard Kinney were slightly
intoxicated on last Thursday and were
standing talking near one Of the COM
pany's houses, when Brumage started
to walk away from Kinney. Kinney
Immediately picked up a limestone and
struck Brumage on the back OF the
head, MASKING his skull. He was un-
conscious from the time he was hit un-
I'll he died. Kinney can give no reason
why he hit him as they worked together
in the mines and never had had hard
word. Kinney did everything in his
power to help take care of the wounded,
hiring the doctors and acting as his
nurse. He was arrested to-day and
placed in Jail here. Although it is a
self-evident fact that murder was COM
mitted still he seems to have the SYM
pathy of the community.
