Secretary Window States His
Position on the Silver Question,


Position on the Silver Question.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Secretary
Window talked about silver coinage
to-day with the members of the house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures. Mr.. Window said he had no
pet theories to advance and no senti-
mentaliSm to sustain on the subject of
silver. What the country needed was
practical legislation to meet the diff
culties of the existing financial situa-
ton. Mr.. Window then discussed at
length his silver coinage bill intro
duced by Representative COngOr of
Iowa. The bill, he said, was framed to
meet in the best way ne could devise at
the present financial conditions. He
merely as makeShift: that its author
did not believe in it and that it was
brought forward to defeat some other
measure. These statements were un-
true. The present bill, he CLAIMED. was
framed with the hope of remov-
ing a large portion of the great
variations in value, during recent
years. of gold and silver. He did not be-
lleve it possible for the United States to
fix ratio between silver and gold. The
bill was designed to adopt the ratio the
commercial world adopted. Referring
to the objections against the bill. the
secretary said that the first difficulty to
be overcome was that excluding foreign
ore, and he had prepared an amend
ent. which he submitted, to meet this
difficulty. The amendment provides
that on every bar of silver bullion inn
ported into the United States the col
lectors of customs shall stamp the
word foreign" Every assayer, re-
shall stamp them s'foreign."

DEATH HER ONLY RELIEF.

Girl at Suicide.


Girl at Suicide.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., Feb. A.-Early this
morning screams were heard in room
in the O'Brien & Knowlton building,
occupied by James B. Moore, the saloon
keeper, The occupants of the building
forced their way into the room, and on
the bed found young girl, named Nora
O'Niell. An empty laudanum bottle
by the girls side told the story of her
attempted suicide, and the girl herself
admitted it,. The prompt administer
ing of antidOteS Overcame the effects Of
the poison, and for two hours the ply
sicians worked over her and brought
her out of danger. On table near the
bed was found the following letter,
which told the whole story of love that
was the life of the poor creature, and
VIII ch taken from her left death as her
only relief.
Dear Jimmy: pawned my watch for
$40, ana you can redeem it and do what you
like with it. As you will not take care of me

The girl came from Marquette last
year. and until she met Moore sup
ported herself. She went to work in a
restaurant, and there came the begin
ming of her troubles. She went to live
with Moore. She importuned him so
much to carry out his promise of mar
riage that he abandoned her. The po-
lice took the matter in charge, and
turned the girl over to Capt. Paul, of
the poor farm, who will see that she is
cared for. This afternoon the girl pre-

Aberdeen's Municipal Pot Is

ABERDEEN, Feb. 25.-The municipal
pot is boiling merrily. Although SIX
months must yet elapse before the ques-
ton. .WhO shall succeed Acting Mayor
Stearns, and Aid. Brandes, Engle,
Waterbury and Head, the retiring men,
bers of the council?' will be settled,
local politicians are already busily at

Mayor Stearns is candidate for re-
election. Maj, Burke, the receiver of
the land office, is mentioned as an avail
able Democratic candidate. The Re-
publicans seem rent by ambitions and

nent citizens have already been sug-
gested-eX-Mayor Phil Skillman, ex-
Aid. Schlueter, w. 81. Paulhamus and
Robert Moody, president of the Aber-
deem National bank. There is little
doubt but that the honor could be
forced upon at least three of these gen.
tlemen. They are all honorable men"
and though Republicans, as some old
time humOrist said of preachers, "have
hitherto borne good characters"
Among Democrats a strong sentiment
OAiSto GIldb MdtOT OlcdTIlS duIlIIIll6GTd-
ton should be indOrsed, as he has borne
the brunt Of the severe and unmerited
attacks made by the News recently.
Mr.. Stearns was formerly Republican.
He was elected to the council from the
Third ward upon all independent ticket,
and on Mayor Pratt's resignation was
chosen to fill the unexpired term.
Predictions are freely made that there
Will be three tickets in the field for
mayor. The outlook in the wards is
difficult to forecast, but Republicans
are counting upon the absence of the
"boarding house" voter as in their
favor. Democrats are quiet. They
smart under the lash of Republican
censure, but declare that ancient his
tory reveals startling facts as to earlier
administrations. The gun of investiga-
tion turned upon the administration
will, it is said, be Numbered and lev
eled at the late gunners.

SENATORS ARE wRATHY.
They Propose to Investigate Pub
fishers of Secrets of Executive

They Propose to Investigate Pub
Sessions.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.--The senate
has about determined to investigate the
wicked newspaper men who insist upon
publishing to the world the secrets of
the executive sessions. The matter was
under discussion for some time this aft
ernOOn, and the old question of the ad-
visibility of opening the doors during
the discussion of nominations was de-
bated at length. During the discussion
Mr.. Teller urged upon the senate the
advisability of adopting his proposition
to open the doors, submitted during the
special session last April. Mr. Platt
sup ported Mr.. Teller. The chairman
Of the committee on rules, Mr.. Aidrich.
was not present, and no suggestion
was received from the committee, there
fore as to its attitude toward the Teller
resolution. After the adjournment of
the senate, however, the matter was
brought to the attention of Senator
Aldrich by United Press reporter. and
he said that he would cali a meeting of
the committee for Wednesday of this
week to consider the resolution. Sen
atOr Aldrich is known to be strongly in
| ldNOl vi OPCl CACCubitC SCSSlUDS, dUu
Senator Blackburn probably will join
him. The other members of the COM
mittee-Senators ingalls,, Sherman and
/ HarriS-are opposed to opening the
doors, so the resolution, in all likeli-
hood, will be reported adversely, with a
strong minority report in its favor. If
the senate entruStS the investigation of
the BETRAYAL or secret session news to a
special committee, it will get very little
satisfaction. This thing has been done
before. and the senate had the melan-
chOly pleasure of imprisoning two
newspaper correspondents in senate
committee room for contempt, and of
releasing them finally without learning
the source of their information. In an
other investigation the senators were
brought before the committee and one
after another sw0re that he had never
betrayed executive secrets. And that
was as far as the senate got.

THOUGHT HE WAS DYING.

A Wounded Nihilist Confesses to
Participation In Murderous
Plots.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 24.-This evening
a man named Pietzhkjoffgj, working on
a scaffoid at the electric light works,
came in contact with a line wire.
which stunned and caused him to fall
thirty feet, breaking both thighs. From
the story he tells, it appears he is a Rus
sian fugitive, aud has been implicated
in many nihllistic plots in that country,
among which was the one two years
ago to kill the czar. He also names sew
eral high state and military officials in
that country who were concerned in the
same plot, but have never been arrested.
The man thought he was about to die
from his injuries, which brought forth
the above confession.
