grams scnt here by Mississippi planters,
saying that no assistance Is needed. He
declares that this Is solely a move to en-
able them to force the negroes to make
contracts with them at starvation rates.
He gives narrowing account OF what
he has heard about, and says: "Stean.
boats have beon sent to rescue these
poor people. Their mules are drowned,
their plows at the bottom OF the river
and they aro left absolutely without any.
thing. These humane planters, bankers
and merchants propose to feed them.
What do they expect In return? They
expect TO force them to sign contracts
rather than stnrve, and certainly It is a
compliment 10 the negro to think he
will perform his part OF the contract.
But what will be said OF the Government
which will permit hundred thou.
sand laborers to be forced, by tho
want Of bread, into signing these
contracts? What will the Christian
people Of the United States think Of it?
Isn't It probable that the improvements
that shave been put upon the Mississippi
river in their present unfinished coudi-
tion may have aided aud abetted this
terrible destruction Of property? The
Government, in my opinion, should not
lose n moment in Initiating the example
set by the people few months ago,
when the terrible calamity OF Johns

BALTIMORE, April 6.-The Legislative
Committee appointed to investigate the
Archer defalcation began work yester.
day. Several bankers were summoned,
who testified TO the fact that Mr.. Archer
had hypotherated State bonds, while
three brokers sworo that tho State
Treasurer had sold bonds outright. He

OF these tinanciers had any idea OF
crookedness. 1t was shown that Archer

he assumed tho Office. the method Of
procedure then being to borrow money
from the banks, leaving as collateral
State bonds. The interest was paid with
the coupons, as the noto matured, and
was then renewed. That he should
have been able to continue borrowing
in this way and selling stocks without
arousing suspicion Is a remarkable iea.

Five thousand people were in attend.

President Woodruff, the head of the

the day Of revelations had ended. God

for people to see salvation, and there
was no need Of looking for more distinct
utterances. The statement was a bomb.

A leading Mormon said yesterday that
it was expected that Woodruff would,
before the end OF the conference, assert
that he had revelation from God that
polygamy should be abandoned.

REPUBLICAN, SENATOR'S CAUCUS

On the Silver Question, Federal Control OF
Elections, and ANTITRUST Legislation.
WASHINGTON, April G.-About two.
thirds OF the Republican Senators ME.
in conference last night at the residence
OF Senator Chandler to discuss the silver
question.
The Western Senators, those known
rs silver men, had the floor at first, and
explained their views at length, when
the representatives OF other sections OK
pressed themselves. No marked prefer
ence for the Window bill rs against the
Jones bill (reported by the Senate Com.
mlttce. on Finance) was shown.
1t was the general opinion that the
Republican congressman should har-
tnonlze upon some measure CT legisla-
ton on the silver question and press it
to a passage at as early a day as possible.
The exact provisions OF this measure
will probably be defined at another con-
ference to held in the near future.
The action OF the Republican members
OF the Committee on Privileges aud
Elections, in requesting Chairman Hoar
to prepare National election law, was
referred to, and it is understood to have
met with the approval Of the confer
ence. --7. II
The status Of the antitrust bill was
discussed briefly, but its place on the
programme OF business, where it orig
inally stood first, was not definitely de-
cided upon. When it was reported back
from the Judiciary Committee, Senator
Edmunds said he would call it pimme.
diately after the Montana case was con-
cluded.
