An AIR OF Sadness.

An air of sadness pervaded the house
when the speakers gavel called that body to
order to-day. Draped in black and orna-
mented with handsome floral designs, the
seat long occupied by Randall recalled to
the members the fact that their old COL
league had passed away forever. A crayon
portrait of the ex-speaker, hung in tho
lobby, was also tastefully draped with em-
blems of mourning. In his prayer the
dead congressman, and when he had con-
cluded O'Neill of Pennsylvania, delivered
a brief eulogy and then offered resolution
of regret at Randall's death and providing
for committee of nine members of the
house to attend the funeral. The house
then adjourned.

HIS 1eIloWstOne Right OF Way Scheme to
BE Squelched.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-[Special. THE
house committee on public lands to-day de-
cided to report favorably Senator Vests
Yellowstone Park bill. with an amendment
providing that the Montana Mineral rail
way shall have the exclusive franchise to
build road from Cinnabar to Cooke CITY
by the east fork of the Yellowstone river.
This action was something of surprise to
those who were interested in having the
strip of park divided and the right of way
granted to any company desiring to build
1t is believed the exclusive proposition will
be stricken out in the senate and the bill
passed giving all companies the right of
way, or killed entirely.
Quite scene occurred in the committee
this morning when man named Phillips
appeared and denied that there was any
mineral in Cooke City. One of the Cooke
City men said: II do not know who YOU
are, but I want to say here your statement
is false" It looked like conflict for a
moment, but Phillips did not reply. 1t is
said tho Northern Pacific desires to build
branch to Cooke City and would do SO if
a general right of way was granted. A
proposition was made to grant right of
way to all, and preserve the strip sought to
be taken from the Park, preventing the
cutting of timber upon it and save it for ir-
rigation purposes. but the plan of the Cooke
City men, backed by Carter, was agreed to.

THE CAUSE OF SILVER.
Republican Congressional Committees
Arrive at Conclusions

HepuDLcan Congressional Committees
Arrive at Conclusions
WARRINGTON, April A.-A'meeting of the
republican senatorial silver committee was
held this morning, and noon recess was
taken. The discussion at times was ami
mated. but spirit of compromise was
shown. Members pledged secrecy as to the
details Of the meeting. The senate COM
mittee this afternoon reached conclusion.
Three propositions were agreed to: First,
that the secretary of the treasury should
buy 4, 0.0O0 ounces of silver bullion month
", ana ISSUE notes in payment fort same,
the notes to be redeemable in bullion or
lawful money. Second, that national banks
be allowed to issue notes to the full par
value of the bonds deposited to secure their
redemption, which would add 10 per cent to
the volume of national bank currency,
Third, that the 800, 600 retained in the
treasury for the redemption of treasury
notes be put into circulation. The commit
tee will meet the house committee to-mor-
row.
Members of the house caucus of the silver
committee had two hours session this
morning. There was general disposition
to reach some kind of an agreement and a
spirit of concession characterized the en-
tire proceedings. As result, when recess
was taken indications were that the men,
bers had at last found common ground and
that they will be ready very shortly to
agree upon formal proposition, acceptable
to themselves, at least, although further
notifications may have to be made to meet
the views of the republican senators. The
basis of the agreement will be the Window
bill as it came from the house committee
on coinage, with the addition of a few pro-
visions intended to meet the views of the
silver men. 1t will probably provide for
the unlimited purchase of bullion produced
in the United States at the market price,
not to exceed 81 on 3711 grains, and when
that price is reached there will be free COIN
age. Treasury notes issued in payment for
silver will be redeemable in bullion or coin,
The afternoon session lasted over two
hours. Secretary Window was present part
of the time, but contented himself with a
reiteration of his views on the subject. He
would not abate his opposition to the plan
to make treasury notes issued in purchase
of silver redeemable in anything else than
silver bullion, but having carefully dis
cussed this matter the committee decided
to incorporate in the bill provision allow
ing the redemption in bullion or coin, at
option OF the purchaser. So the committee
finally reached decision as above outlined
and will meet the senate committee to-mor-
row morning in joint conference.

A WILMINGTON ABsCONDER.-It is
presumed that ]. Eldridge Pierce, late
of the firm of Pierce and BeesOn, which
failed recently, and who has been miss
ing for several weeks, has gone to
some South American country.
Mr.. Pierce was also secretary of the
City Building and Loan Association,
and since his disappearance rumOrs of
a shortage in his accounts have been
freely circulated.
Mr.. Pierce left Wilmington on No
vember 6 or 7, and purchased ticket
at the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Station. From
that point he took a steamer or went to
New York and sailed for Brazil or
some other South American country.
None of his friends have heard a
word from him since his departure.
Numerous instances of his dishones-
ty have been reported. A friend and
associate mourns the loss of $3.50 bOr-
rowed by Pierce the day before his de-
parture. Another story is that of a
business man who loaned money on
what was considered to be good secur-
ity, only to learn recently that the
same is worthless. There are other re-
ports of loans by confdng friends.
