MINERAL CITYl What marie !

MINERAL CITYl What magic in
the name. It is of itself suggestive
of well developed and prosperous
mines, of rich ore, glittering silver,
of the crash of mills and the ring of
the pick and drill, of yawning
chasms beneath your feet as you
tread the dark labyrinth of tunnels,
OF sturdy, honest miners delving in
the bowels of the earth for precious
metals. Mineral, the booming silver
camp of Washington county, bears
out all that its name implies.

free coinage of silver is a matter of record.
Pending action of some kind in the house
on the silver bill, active discussion of the
question has subsidized and the members of
the house are awaiting developments. The
coinage committee has the key to the stu
alton at present and the general DISPOSE
ton is to give the committee an OppOrtuni-
ty to show what it means to do before
making predictions or outlining the course
to be pursued in the future. Some effort
Is making on the part of gold ad-
herents to have the Bill kept in com
mittee, but silver men are sanguine as to
their ability to defeat such move. At least
two of the democratic members of the
committee are gold standard men, and
each side shows them great consideration
in the present condition of affairs. With
their assistance the silver men could order
a report made to the house, and it is as
serted this will be done without much
delay, though 1t is not commended that these
democrats will commit themselves to vote
for the bill, but merely that they will agree
to secure consideration for 1t. The speak
er entertainS the same views as ever on
the question of free coinage, but there is
reason to believe he is not prepared to go
to the most extreme measures in order to
prevent the matter from coming up, and to
bear the burden of the dissatisfaction
which would thereby be created in the
silver wing of the republican party. Be-
sides, republicans are not united on the
subject, and are not likely to be.

Nothing Was Done Except to Vote
on a Few Amendments to
the Elections Bill.
The Democrats Declare Their Inten-
ton to Keep Up Their Dila-
tory Tactics,
And Resort to Every Known Parlia-
mentary Method to Defeat
the Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 17.-After being
in continuous session for thirty hours and
after voting on several amendments to
the election bill, the senate at 9 o'clock
tonight adjourned till Monday. In
course of debate the democrats gave no.
tice that they proposed to keep up the
present tactics and exhaust every parlia-
mentary method for bringing about the
defeat Of this bill. There will probably
be a republican caucus held Monday
night to decide OH what action shall be
taken by the party on the bill, or what
position they will assume on the pro-
posed closure rule. There is growing a feel
ing that the party will be united sufficient
ly to carry through the measure, those
who heretofore opposed it being nov with
their party in many parts of it. They
do not want to oppose the bill with the
democrats. Certain it is that the silver sena-
tors are DESTROYS of some kind of an
action on the bill in order to get it out Of
the way, and their anxiety on this point Is
construed BY some hopeful element into
a disposition on their part to adopt the
speediest and most prominent method of
achieving their desire. which if it does not
admit of their voting for the bill, will at
least warrant them in refusing to follow
the lead of the democratic minority in so
far as it would involve the adoption of
QilatOrY tactics.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. 15.-Ex-Gov.
Richard J. Oglesby was tonight nomi-
mated by the joint republican caucus as
the candidate for United States senator to
succeed Charles B. Farwel!. The result
was quite a surprise. AS the day opened.
the principal name mentioned III oppose
ton to Farwell was that of Oglesby, but
later it was dropped to q certain extent, his
friends discovering a number of Gresham
men who, should Oglesby become too pro-
nounced. might favor Farwell. When the
caucus met tonight, every republican leg
islator vas present. Oglesby's men scored
a victory at once in securing the election
of Senator Fuller as the caucus chairman.
A motion by Berry was adopted to
the effect that the republican members
of the senate and house standing
committees have the entire charge
Of the party in the coming contest.
White of Whiteside was added to the COM

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. 49,
A meeting of the commanders OF the sew
eral camps around the agency with Cen
eral Brooke was held to-day. after which
the officers repaired again to their respect
i've commands. The meeting was held to
decide upon certain tactical movements,
and the condition of each command was
discussed. The uneasiness Of the Indians
this morning had by this evening, to a GER
tain extent, died away. During the after
noon Two Strike, accompanied by about
thirty Indians, turned over twenty gun of
various patterns. Among the weapons
we're several Henri rifles, which are prac.
tically useless, both to Indians and white
men, because cartridges cannot now be
procured for them. AS a consequence of
the excitement of the morning, General
Miles ordered forage for twenty days long

agency discovered the bodies of four dead

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The silver bill,
which came from the senate to-day, has
been, under the rules of the house, re-
ferred to the committee on coinage
weights or measures. of which Wickham
of Ohio is chairman. The silver men in
the house have been actively engaged in
missionary work in the interest of free
coinage. They are sanguine of ultimate sue
cess and are certain the bill cannot be kept
indefinitely in committee, and that within
a reasonable time the coinage committee
will order the report to be made. notwith
standing all efforts to prevent the bill hav-
ing an opportunity for consideration. The
democrats are insisting on their full par
liamentary rights OF debate on every
proposition presented to the house, the
animative motive being the objection to
the elections bill, which was taken up by
the senate last night. There will not be q
meeting of the coinage committee until
next Wednesday.
