In IhE SENATE.

Silver's hope is In the senate. The
members intend TO give the question
early attention and they will take up
for discussion the house bill, which was
laid before the senate yesterday. Sen
ator Cockrell discussed the subject at
Mondays session, but this mornings
report of his remarks Is meagre.
The hope Of the silver men Is that the
senate viii at least strike out the bull.
lion redemption clause and substitute
for 1t q provision that the silver certifi-
Gates shall be redeemable in gold or
silver coin. Mr.. Carter believes this
will be done. Several republicans who
opposed the Mckinley scheme in eau
Gus but who finally got into line on Sat
urday confidently predict that the sen
ate will strike out this clause.
IL this is done the outcome is not
easily foretold. Possibly the honse will
change its decision, i'm the end, SO as to
agree with the senate in point of this
particular section. Failing in this, we
shall probably have another conference
committee, and disagreement may then
be kept up until the members of
senate and house pack up and go
home-so that there will be no legisla-
ton from this session of congress re-
lating to silver. That this plan CON-
mends itself to several members is ad-
mitted.
There are, however, experienced OBJ
servers i'm Washington who are ready
with predictions that the senate will
never strike out the offending bullion
clause. These people are freely quoted
by the army of special correspondents
at Washington who represent them as
saying that Saturdays legislation is the
result of a distinct agreement between
the republican leaders i'm the house, the
managing republicans in the senate,
the president and the members of the
cabinet whomt the question Immediately
concerns, that the president has told
these people how far Mr.. Window will
permit him to go and that the pro-
visions of the bill, rs passed i'm the
house, make up the ultamatum.
The action of Mr.. Mckinley, the I'M
friendly utterances of Speaker Reed.
the pronounced hostility of Secretary
Window. the speeches of Mr.. Sherman
and Mr., lIiscock in the senate and the
all but solid hostile vote i'm the house,
lend color TO this story. Yet we shall
see.

Dynamite. according to Mrs. Lucy Par

Dynamite, according to Mrs. Lucy Par
sons of Chicago, is to be the liberator Of
the human race. 'Not that people will
go around with bombs," she says, 'and

working classes render the armies of the
capitalists useless i'm a street fight" IL

two or three of the twelve must have
been honest, fair-minded citizens with
the courage to do what their judgment
should dictate was right. But the case
goes on, and at its conclusion the
twelve men unanimously proceed to
act i'm a manner which on the face of
il is irregular and irrational.
The only theory that can adequately
account for this conduct Ii that the
plea of emotional insanity exerts a re-
fiex influence. Any brain specialist,
any one who has studied the power of
association of ideas, will readily under
stand how the jury. hearing for several
consecutive days continuous disserta-
tions on emotional insanity, ~torturing

to differentiate emotional insanity
from other forms of insanity, and to
comprehend II possible what the deuce

In short nothing but emotional insanity

thing itself-do unconsciously though
none the less really and unanimously
fall victims to the disease and proceed
at once to show its symptoms in the
most unmistakable and convincing
manner. The jury becomes Temporal
rily insane: and as 1t is one Of the pre-
rogratives of lunatics to deny the san
ity of others II Is no marvel that they
agree, with perfect harmony and no
doubt with a sense of Joy over the priv
ilege of exercising their powers of per-
spicacity, that the murderer must of
necessity have been stark, staring mad
when he committed his crime.
At all events juries often give clear
er, stronger, better evidences of insan-
ity than the prisoners upon whom they
sit in judgment.

The silver question has not proved
to be sectional after all. When the
final vote was reached i'm the house.
last Saturday, the caucus bolt came
from republicans representing consti-
tuencies in Montana, Neyada,C Colorado,
Kansas and Massachusetts. Some of
the strongest speeches in favor of free
coinage were made by representatives
from Illinois, and the opposition to the
Mckinley caucus scheme represented
nearly every section of the Union. The
remarkable fact is that the silver states
of the Northwest were refused support
by the republican members from the
state of Washington and by the three
republicans representing North and
south Dakota, while Hermann, repub-
lican of Oregon. who was elected to
another term not longer ago than last
week, on a free coinage platform,
pulled straight in the caucus but
is recorded with the Mckinley ring on
Saturdays vote. Montana is not under
enduring obligations TO these republi-
can neighbors.

There's no accounting for the con-
duct of the average passenger on board
a train of cars when it is held up by
robbers. Fortunately for the fame of
the people who were on the eastbound
train that was stopped in Dakota two
days ago, they were asleep in their
Pullman berths and ignorant of what
was going Oh But the express mes
senger knew what he was about. He
transferred valuables to a safe which
the robbers could not open and then
got out of the way SO that they couldn't
compel him to open il, making his way

yer last week on the fioor of the house.
He voted with the republicans In the end,
as he announced he would do, but he
sharply criticised the policy of the presi-

Hayes down, and he said: ''The discre-
ton lodged by this bill with the secretary
of the treasury has always been evaded
when that has been found possible. Had
this discretion been fairly used by the
secretary for the past six months, let
alone for eight years, no such legislation
as this would be under discussion to-day.

STOLE FROM HIS AUNT.

An AnsonIa Boy With Plenty of
 Money Arrested in Waterbury.
 A boy, about IA years of age, got of the 11:17 train this morning and going to the Earl house asked the porter how much room would cost for two days. ''Three dollars was the reply" The money was promptly paid over by the boy who seemed to have plenty of the lucre about him. S2 was presented to the porter for his servlces. The boy then left the hotel and paid Q boot black 50 cents for a shine. He then visited a clothing store and purchased a new outfit.
 He visited J. A. Godfrey's and pur- chased $S worth of wearing apparel, among which was S3 sash, which pur- chase rather excited the interest of the clerk, who asked him his name, which he gave as Wallace. When the proprie- tor of the hotel returned, being absent when the boy came, he was rather suspi- cious at the boy being so flush with money and he notified the police. Officer Brickle was detailed on the case, and he arrested the boy. In his pocket was found fifteen dollars and in his room $227 some of it in gold, and a diamond ring. The boy gave his name as George Wallace and said he stole the money from his aunt, Mrs Joseph A. McDon. aid of No 31 Sixth street, Birmingham.

The Meriden papers are not satisfied with the city's rating and are clamoring for recount. To-day it is announced that later returns place the city's popu- lation at 26, 400.
 The long silence of Bridgeport and Hartford on the census question is at last explained. The Bridgeport Stan dard says "The census enumerators for some unaccountable reason have not completed their work in this city, and it is impossible as yet to secure an esti- mate of the population. Many people estimate the population as high as 54,- 900, but the most common opinions place it between 4S, ,O0O and 50 ,O00." The Courant says for Hartford "From what can be learned from the enumerators, who are very reticent about the results of their work, it is beleived that their figures will show between 50,000 and 52 ,O00 people here.
 Supervisor Mclaughlin to-day an- nounced the population of Vernon, which includes the city of Rockville, as $500, a gain of 33b per cent.

Five Offenders Given Taste of
 Waterbury Justice.
 Patrick HouIihan who has been em- ployed bv the town and drives a dump cart of his own, went into the select mems office last evening and after re- ceiving his pay opened on Selectman Boughton with a tirade of abuse, be- cause of his discharge from the towns employment. He was ejected from the office and continued his loud talk in the hallway until an officer was called, who locked him up. This moruing he was fined $1 and costs.
 Arthur Corrigan, 20 years of age, inn bibed too freely yesterday and when Officer Sullivan attempted to arrest him, strongly resisted. In the scuffle the off cer had the sleeve of his coat tore off. however. This morning he could not remember where he purchased his drink nor anything about the resistance. His mother acted as his attorney and made such a strong plea for him, that Judge Bradstreet suspended judgment for drunkenness and continued the case of resistance for 30 days.
 Terrence Kiely, 21 years of age, be- came intoxicated yesterday and devel- Officer Cahey arrested him that it was necessary to tap him a few times on the head to quiet him. He showed the same fighting desires in the station and Chief Egan received one of his blows on the jugular, but the fighting intoXicant was finally landed in the dungeon, where he could amuse himself by shout ing for his own enjoyment. Ten dollars and costs on each complaint was the dose of punishment meted out to him.
 Jeremiah Dwyer was accused of assault on John Healey. Between these two men there has been bad blood for some time. Three years ago Healey was one of a party who assaulted Dwyer and through the eDtreaties of Healey's friends Dwyer did not push the charge. Yesterday Healey swore he met Dwyer in front of the latter's house and he was asked to take drink. Healey consent ed and they went to Dwyer's barn, where the latter without any provoca- tion struck him with a hammer on the head, cutting a long gash, which was dressed by Dr O'Hara. Dwyer swore he was attacked by Healey and he only acted in self defense. The court lm- posed fine of SEQ and costs. An appeal was taken.
 Frank Reed, youth of IA, has proved so incorrigible and dishonest that his father made application for his commit ment to the reform school. The boy's relatives live in Waterville, but he per sists in staying in Waterbury, sleeping in barns and outhouses. Yesterday he discovered where his little sister had concealed $2, and he and the $2 were shortly missing. The court committed him to the reform school.

Monthly Report of Chief of Police
 George M. Egan.
 The regular monthly meeting of the police board was held last night.

 The monthly report of Chief of Police Egan was as follows:
 Number of arrests, 66; cases 79; males 7S. The causes of arrests were: Assault 2, breach or the peace 16,attending prize fight 1, cruelty to animals 1, common drunkard 1, defrauding 1, forgery 1, intoxication 37, incorrigible 1, indecent exposure 1, keeping unmuzzled dog 2, neglect to support family ,, resistance to officer 5, violation of city ordinance l, of license law 3.

 Commissioners Riley and Martin were appointed a committee on discipline to take immediate supervision of the police department for three months. Speaking of the small memorandum books which are furnished the police, in which they are expected to note any thing appertaining to the department so that the city may be better protected, Commissioner Martin said: 1.-The officers seem to think that it is too much of the spy act to keep careful note of things they should note. For instance, heard very straight that few days ago at o'clock in the morning a man and a girl in hack and a man and two girls in another hack were driving through Exchange place singing and making a a noise, in beaStly state of drunkenness. If such things are seen by an officer they should be noted and efforts made to find out the names of the parties" Chef Egan spoke of the need of extra supernumeraries to protect the city on the Fourth of July. A motion to appoint ten new special officers was not seconded.
 John Healy was appointed as a super numerary.
 The meeting then adjourned for two | weeks.
