DELAYING THE SILVER BILL.
Coinage Committee Very Slow-Demo-
Gratis May Force Matters.

WAsHISGToN City, Jan. 21.-fSpecial. i
The policy of delay which animates the
Democrats in both houses of congress
seems to have been communicated TO the
House committee on coinage, which held
a meeting today to consider the free coin
age act brought over from the Senate. The
time was occupied by Mint Director Leech,
who was provided with an immense num-
ber of figures on the silver coin now in use
and what would probably occur if the free
coinage measure became law His state
ments were as nearly unbiased as could be
expected. but his opinions leaned slightly
toward the gold side. A proposition was
made to hold daily sessions of the commit
tee. but several members claimed TO have
other committee work 10 do and would be
unable To attend. The meeting was there
fore adjourned for one week.
Mr.. Bland is very impatient under this
delay, and unless something Is done speed
ily in preparing and presenting a report
he will ask that the committee be dis
charged from consideration OF the bill, and
that the House proceed to discuss the great
question of finance at once. Mr. Bland's
motion would have the effect of disclosing
the strength of the silver men in the House
at the ootset of the debate.

THE ELECTION OF SQUIRE.
Calkins Men Try to Stave or a Ballot,
But in Vain.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 21.-TSpecial. IA great
crowd pushed its way into the House OF
Representatives. this morning, filling the
lobby, pre-empting members and report-
ers' seats, and leaving little space for the
transaction of business. The speaker
called the House to order at IL 80. Snively,
from the special committee appointed to
draft bill to fill vacancies that occur dur
ing legislative sessions, reported recom-
mending the passage of n bin entitled AN
act relative TO filling vacancies in the leg
islature ofstate of Washington laid upon
the table.
The special committee on bribery inves-
tigation reported that it could not finish
its investigation before the time of ballot
ing.
TYLER wanted to know what time the
chairman had called the meeting for this
morning. His object was evidently to as
certain whether the committee bad pur-
sued due diligence in securing its conclu-
sion. Tyler moved that the committee be
required to report at s O'Clock tonight.
Kennedy objected saving the committee
could not finish. There was some further
discussion and Tyler withdrew the mo-
ton Kennedy, rising 10 a question Of
privilege, stated that report had been
circulated that he had absolutely refused
to call meeting of the special committee
today. Kennedy stated that the report
was an unqualined falsehood.
Garretson of Pierce offered a Fesolu-
ton reciting that the special committee
had not had time to complete its investi-
CATION. and that great injustice might be
done if the convention proceeded 10 ballot;
therefore he moved that the ballot be
postponed to such time as the two houses
might agree.
Pending discussion, the Senate appeared
at the bar and was admitted. President
Wilson assumed the gavel. being received
with applause. The president announced
the law on the subject of canvassing the
vote cast yesterday, and of then proceed
ing to take new ballot if necessary. The
secretary was directed TO call the roll Of
those present. The first name was Aus
tin, and when his name was called he arose
and answered in loud voice: William
H. Calkins" Anstin's mistake was re-
ceived with loud and continuous laughter.
All the senators were present, and all
the members of the House but Andrews.
The Journals of the House and Senate re-
lating to the election of United States sem
ator were read.
1t appearing that no one person had re-
ceiyed a majority of the vote Of both
houses, the president announced that a
new ballot must be taken. Tyler rose 10

ton lie steiguer objected, declaring that

THE ocosTA CONSPIRACY.
Ii Came Dangerously Near Being Sue
cessful In the senate.


OLYMPIA. Jan. 21-TSpecial. l-lmme-
diately after the roll call in the Senate this
morning, Senator Long introduced the
resolution to postpone the election of
United States senator. The introduction
of the resolution was great surprise to
every one but the supporters of Judge Cali
kins. Senator Long in an earnest speech
moved its adoption, urging the Senate to
give fair play" as he termed it. He was
followed by Senator Owings, the notorious
Calkins manager, who also demanded that
time should be given the Calkins contin-
gent TO disprove the charges of bribery.
Senator kinnear, Senator Thompson of
Walla Walla, Senator Dyer and Senator
Hyde then ardently opposed the resolu-
ton in vigorous speeches. Thompson Of
Walla Walla was most emphatic in de-
nunciation of Calkins supporters and their
1ll-advised method to defeat Senator
Squire by postponing the election. He
said among other interesting things:
Thompson of Wala Walla opposes this resoin-
ton in the first place because il is Illegal. He
also opposes it because the good people of Walla
Walla demand that their representatives elect a
senator without delay, that legislation for the
good OF the state of Washington may proceed
and be carried TO a fruitful and beneficial end.
We don't want any township caucus business in
ours, and we do want Senator squire. There
lore when the majority OF the members of this
legislature are in favor OF Watson c. Squire aud
stand ready TO cast their ballots for him at th in
time there is reason why should allow a
scheming minority to interfere with the viii
of the people. II is an infamous outrage that
such political dodge should be attempted. and
| blush to- think that men calling themselves
Republicans would resort to such vicious
scheme. Gentlemen, we must not allow this
resolution to pass. Let us be true to our con-
stituents and our country, and vote IL down.
Thompson of Walla Walla will vote against the
resolution.
Frink of King moved that the resolu-
tion be laid on the table. The motion was
lost by vote of II to IL, the four Demo-
Gratis, Drum. Eshelman, McCarty and Mc~
Croskey, voting with the Calkins contln.
gent. The previous question was then or
dered by Long and carried, eighteen voting
in the affirmative. At this time it looked rs
if the Calkins supporters were going TO be
successful, and every one held his breath
in anticipation of the final vote. When
President Wilson announced that the vote
on the original motion to pass the resoln-
ton would be taken up he asked to be ex-
cused from voting unless his vote was re-
quired to decide. The roll was called amid
suppressed excitement with the following

luton was defeated by one vote. Had
McCarty and McCroskey voted for it, as
they did To prevent it being laid on the
table. there would have been tie. Their
reasons for standing with the Squire peo-
pie in this one move are not known, but
il is pretty generally believed that Me-
Carly considered it would have been an
imprudent move, owing TO the fact that
the contest for his seat is still pending,
and any disloyalty to the King county
Republicans would be disastrous.
McCroskey, having the best inter-
ests of the Democratic party at
heart, saw McCartys predicament and
voted accordingly. Although President
Wilson is Calkins man, there is no doubt
that he would have sustained any point Of
order against the legality of the resolution,
as he did III the joint convention a few
minutes later However, the point of
order was not taken, and he was not given
a chance, as he was on the joint conven-
ton.
With the defeat of the resolution. the
last hope of defeating Squire passed away,
and as the senators marched down 10 the
lower hall to vote in joint session, the
countenances of the Calkins cohorts indi-
Gated that all was lost. The Squire men,
on the contrary knew that victory was
with them, as few minutes later proved.

FIRE AT MUSHROOM.
$4,000 Worth of Lumber Destroyed by
Rapacious Flames,

Rapscious Flames,
Special to the TELEGRAx-HERALD:
MUsKEGoN, Mich, March 26.-Early
this morning fire was discovered in the
lumber yard Of Hovey & McCracken.
The yard or dock in which the lumber
was stored, contained about million
and half feet of thin pine lumber. In
close proximity and to the east was an.
other dock containing about the same
quantity of lumber, but of a finer
quality. A high wind was blowing
lakeward at the time the fire was dis
covered, and it increased in intensity
as the fire progressed. In very short
space of time the deck was a mass of
roaring flame. The heat was so intense
that the tiremen fought from behind
improvised shields of boards and blank
cts. 1t was said to be the hottest fire
ever known in the city, and burned
with unparalleled rapidity the towering
piles of seasoned pine. During the
blaze the "Pioneer" became disabled
and message was sent to Grand Rap
ids asking for aid. Before the special
started the pioneer" got to work
again and the Grand Rapids firemen
were notified not to start, although
they had made all arrangements to do
so. The fire was subdued at 10 O'Clock.
II. n. Hovey estimated his firms loss
st Sl5, 900, fully covered by an insur-
ance aggregating $29, 900.

NEW YORK, March 26.-John White
Kelly is the oldest operator employed
by the Western Union Telegraph Co M
pany. lie Is 60 years of age and is ST i'll
at work in the telegraph Office, although
he has fallen heir TO an estate that will
probably bring him the sum of 500 900
IN cash. An uncle OF Mr.. kelly's died
and made him an heir to several lots
on East Buffalo's new boulevard. On
Saturday Kelly got his first instsllment
of his fortune IN the shape of SIC. 900 in
cash. He came down to the telegraph
Office the same as usual, prepared to go
to work. When ne reached the doorway
he met several operators. lie greeted
them pleasantly, and diving his hand
into his pocket pulled out an immense
roll of bills, which he offered To share
with every one in the crowd. None of
the men. however, would take advan-
tage of his offer, and then, to do some
thing to show that he was willing TO
share MS good fortune, he took all the
them-one of them afterward said
''tine." This is not the first time that
fortune has smiled upon old man
Kelly. Not long ago he made some
thing like $40 900 IN Wall-st., but he
dropped all he had made. This time he
made bee line for a savings bank. He
intends TO finish his work IN the West

MAY SAVE THE BANK.
Rumor That Sidney Dillon viii Ala tho

Washington National.
New York. March 26. = President
Sherman and the directors Of the Wash.
ington National Bank are today plac-
ing considerable reliance upon the meet
ing of the board appointed for o'clock
this afternoon, which, it is thought,
may result in the formation of a plan
for the reorganization Of the crippled
institution. One of the rumors which
was afioat during the afternoon was, to
the effect that Sidney Dillon and other
friends of the Washington National had
conditionally agreed to contribute suf-
ficient funds to tide over the present
difficulty. President Sherman's friends
insist that ne is not guilty of dishon-
esty, but they admit that his method
of conducting banking business was
unique as well as suicidal. The bank
examiner has demanded q full expla-
nation of the transactions of John 5.
Silver in connection with the Washing
ton National Bank and the American
Loan and Trust Company. The final
report of the bank examiners will be
sent to Washington today.
