The Republicans Finally Agree Upon Sill
yer Bill-It May Lead to the Free Coinage
of Silver.
WASHINGTON, May An effort was
made by the Senate Republican Silver
Committee to agree upon Silver b II to
be reported to the caucus. Three OF the
thirteen members were absent, but the
ten present, together with Senator
Stewart, who was invited to take part in
the proceedings, after discussion last
ing nearly three hours, decided to re-
port to q caucus to be held some day
this week the bill reported by Senator
Jones from the Finance Committee some
weeks ago with amendments.
One of the amendments proposed
strikes out the provision in the reported
bill that the notes issued for the pur-
chase of bullion, when redeemed. shall
be cancelled. and instructs the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to reissue them,
with the provision that the amount out
standing shall not at any time be in ex-
cess of the amount paid out for the
bullion deposited.
AnODueT auouumCuO 10 OhS oNNAOAOh
of the sixth section of the bill adopted
by the House caucus, which provides
for the covering into the treasury Of
about seventy millions OF lawful money
now held for the redemption OF National
bank notes.
The Jones bill directs the Secretary OF
the Treasury to purchase monthly silver
bullion to the value of "a, 100000, the
notes in payment thereof to be
redeemable in lawful money. Two
of the members of the commit
tee felt yesterday that they could
not unqualifedly give their sup
port to the measure, although they
were willing to have the m~e-
ter 90 to the caucus for its decision.
One of them, it is said. will support 1t
in case it is approved by the other Re-
publican Senators, but the other was
not ready to 60 even so far. He desires
time to consider the situation.
Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon, stated,
in referring to the proposed compro-
mise, that while personally he was in
favor of the free coinage Of silver, he
believed the measure (the bullion re-
demption clause having been Omitted)
to be free from any vicious principle,
and one that, II adopted, would ulti-
mately lead to free coinage. In this
Senator Teller agreed.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The conference
report on the Oklahoma Townsite bill
caused q lively breeze in the House
Saturday afternoon. Immediately upon
the reading Of the report twas attacked
by Mr.. Tarsney, who alleged that the
conferees had gone back on the clause
which the House had expressly
inserted, invalidating the claims to
town lots held by the United
States marshals who we're in Oklahoma
before the regular settlers. The con-
ferees struck out this clause, inserting
q negative provision which neither
validated nor squelched these claims.
Mr.. Tarsney, Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. Gull
bertson and others attacked this feature
and made it so warm for the report that
the managers saw it was in danger OF
beingdefeated, and they allowed further
consideration to 90 over until to-day.

Their circumference Ii Fully One Hundred
and Seventy Miles.
Strada Etna, Catania's longest street,
beginning ut the very edge Of the port
side, leads almost due north toward the
volcanoes peak, within few feet OF H.
900 feet above the level OF the sea, ana
fully twenty-eight miles away. The
area Of country dominated by the mount
ain, and at times subjected to overflow
Of lava, is astounding. Its circumfer-
ence is fully 40 miles, and it describes
IN irregular circle, OF greatest diameter
from north to south. Catania stands at
the extreme OF q southern detection in
its southern segment. The Alcantara
river rising in its northwestern foot
hills, flows to the northeast, thence
circles its northern edge, and finally
sweeps around to the southeast into the
sea. The Simeteo river, having its
source at the northeast near that OF the
Alcantara. circles the base, first to the
southwest, then southwark, and then
flows around and into the sea to the
southeast, below Catania. From Catania
to the mouth OF the Alcantara, the
Ionian Sea on the east, running with
almost straight wall of shore, cuts
thin segment out Of this circle. But
within this extraordinarily distinct cir
Gle of 40 miles there is not a square
inch OF the earth's surface over which
the lava has not ut some time poured. The
entire majestic contour of the mountain,
broken here and there by lesser vo.ca-
noes, is visible from any point at this
tremendous base-edge; but more strange
than all else is the density ofpopulation
within the lower and cultivably luxu-
RANT rim. Threading the base, along
the seashores of the Alcantara, around
to the south along the inner. or north
ern shore of the Simeteo, and crowding
up to the very edge of its lesser volca-
noes, are between sixty and seventy
cities and villages, housing--and every
human beng in lifelong danger of de-
struction upward of 100000 souls. -

Atlanta's Methods

Editor Morning NetDs: Much has been
said about Atlanta, and criticism Of her
methods in general is often heard from all
quarters of the state. But is not the spirit
which prompts these criticisms often like
that OF the fox in the fable who lost his tail.
We need In Savannah Just little more of
those elements of progress which move the
people or Atlanta 1t Is better, far better,
TO Drag than to croak. Pride In everything
that concerns the community in which d man
lives Is laudable always; and if we should
exercise the same pride IL the amount of
our population, our local enterprises of
every sort, our factories, our railroads, our
streets, in building up our city into the pro-
portions of a metropolis, which seems tn
actuate the people of Atlanta, We would
soon have a great city here. Savannah has
possibly the largest business for its popula-
ton in the whole country. Besides her
immense wholesale trade, which
Atlanta has not got, her cotton, her naval
stores, her lumber, her rice, her guano in
duStry and her truck farms afford nucleus
around which there SHOULD be gathered at
least, 200,0 peple. Now, why not let US
get to work, and above all things work to-
gether, to build up our city into that i'm
portance which her splendid advantages en-
title her to! Remembering always that
If new enterprises and improvements are
not actually located in a section Of the city
where we are interested, still, all improve
ment is for the general good, and what is
for the general good of the city must
eventually help every individual in it. Let
enterprise and progress be our watchword
and the prosperity of SGuanndh our chief
aim, and when the census enumerators
come round again in the, year 1900 they will
find the outlying lands around the city
covered with bright and cheerful homes.
