FREE corsAGE KILLED.

Death Blow Given by the Houss
Committee-Failure 20 Arrange 9
Cempromise.
WASHINGTON, Feb. e0.-The house coin.
age committee have decided by q vote OF
8 to to report the senate free coinage bill
adversely, with recommendation that II
do not pass. The four in the minority
were Messrs. Carter, Bartine, Bland and
Williams. 1t was found that no COM
promise could be arranged in committee
The compromises were proposed in the
coinage committee by Mr.. Carter. The
first was for free coinage of American
product; and second for purchases of ten
millions of silver for three months and six
millions each month thereafter. Both
propositions were defeated, NOT getting %
much support as unlimited free coinage.
The adverse report on the senate free coin
age bill will be made by Mr.. Wlckham,
chairman of the committee, either late to-
day or tomorrow.
Representative Wilcox of Connecticut
voted with the majority.
The silver bill was not reported to the
house during the day, but Mr.. Wickham
will submit the report of the majority to-
morrow. The silver men generally are
disposed to regard to days action as prac-
tically the end of silver legislation for
this congress

Submerged Houses Threatened by

lar-PresPsct or Serious Damage a
Cincinnati.
WHEELING, W. Va, Feb. 70.-The food
in the Ohio at this point has reached the
forty-six foot mark and the suffering and
privations are becoming Intense. Those
confined in the upper stories of their
houses are almost out of food and many
are suffering from cold, the natural gas
mains being broken and filed with water.
Reports from the head waters lead to the
belief that further rising of the river is
possible. Residents along the lowlands
whose houses were flooded took aggressive
measures to make steamboating unpopu-
lar. The waves from steamers wheels of
ten overturned submerged houses or swept
them from their foundations. AS the
Ben Hur came past the lower end, known
as the First ward of Moundsville, keepinc
pretty close to the West Virginia shore,
the waves dashed against several houses
that were In the midst of the water and In
grave danger. The residents in these
houses fired number of shots at the boat
and made several holes In the wood work
of the pilot house. One bullet passed
through the soft hat of the pilot, soaring
and rendering him unable to steer the boat
for few minutes. The officers will make
no further effort to run until the water
goes down. The Hawk steamed up little
later and received the same reception at
Noundsville, though none of the shots
took effect. The damage at this point
alone is estimated at 81, 900, 900.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 20.-The Ohio river is
booming, and Cincinnati is threatened
with flood, not of the proportions, how
ever, of the great one of 1885, but enough
to cause great loss by the flooding of build
ings in the bottoms. At 10 o'clock a. m.
the river had reached the danger line
forty-6ve feet-and was rapidly rising at
the rate of two inches an hour. 1t rained
all the morning, and the food-water from
above has also just begun to pour in.
The outlook is extremely unpromising

Intense Interest In the Case OF Sadler
Believed to be the Whitechapel
Murderer.
LONDON, Feb. 20-The developments in
the case of Sadler, who is charged with the
recent Whitechapel murder, are followed
with intense eagerness, since growing Sc
ries of links point to him as 'tJack the
Ripper" At the outset of the inquiry
into the life of Sadler the chance of iden-
tifying the miscreant seemed to be destroy
ed by proof that he was at sea when all
the previous crimes were committed, but
officers deputed by the treasury to track
Sadler's past found that when at sea, ac-
cording to the ships books, he was seen in
Whitechapel. Laborious researches con-
tinue, yielding suggestive statements from
Sadler's wife and mother, who concur that
| his temperament is akin to homicidal in
nature. There is family record of insan-
| ity. The wife said that her husband was
| subject to fits of maniacal fury, and that
| more than once he had stood over her with
a knife,

Gently made an attack on the residence of
Major Chearuley at Walterbridge, near

THE REVOLTIN CHILL.

The Government In Possession OF New
GunbOats-Loyal Troops Marching
Overland to Man Them at Buenos
Ayres-An Attempt Upon the Life of
General Roca.
LONDON, Feb. ga dispatch received
here to-day from Buenos Ayres says that a
body of CHILEAN troops, numbering about
200, have been landed at Junin to rein
force the garrison at Iquique. Marines are
being sent overland to Buenos Ayres to
man the new Gillian gunboats which, it is
supposed, have put into that port to avoid
falling into the possession of the insur-
gents. These vessels, it would appear,
were recently built in Europe and were on
their way to Chilli.
They stopped at Buenos Ayres to coal
and there heard of the revolution. Acting
upon instructions received, the new gun
boats remained at Buenos Ayres, but are
expected to reinforce the government
forces SO soon as their crews are up to full
strength.
BUENos AYREs, Feb. 20.-An attempt
was made to-day to assassinate General
Roca, formerly minister of the interior.
| A man fred a revolver at him, but only
slightly wounded him. The would-be
assassin was arrested and imprisoned.
Measures of precaution against an uprising
| are being resumed.
General Roca was out driving when the
| attempt to kill him was made. The bull
| let passed through cushion in his car
rage and grazed his spine. General
Roca Immediately leaped out of the car
rage and seized the would-be assassin, a
boy of fifteen years, to whom he admins
tered thrashing with his cane. Many
persons have visited the general and con-
| graduated him ON his escape.
| A state of siege has been declared here.
A force of artillery has been brought to
the capital from Zarate and the troops at
Palermo are held in readiness for an emer-
gency. The public has become much

The Coffin Surrounded by Torch
Bearers-Impressive Ceremonies.
LONDON, Feb. 10-The remains of Col
onel Dyott, ex-member of parliament, were
inferred in the family vault at Litch6eld,
Staffordshire, yesterday evening. The
funeral was a remarkable event. Twenty
torch-bearers surrounded the coffin as it
was borne to the Dyott vault and a crowd
of people, estimated at $4,000, witnessed
the ceremonies. The mayor of Itch

there in robes of Office, preceded by the
town crier, who was followed by the mace
bearers. These officials met the hearse at
the church and escorted the coffin up the
center aisle to the catafalque, upon which
it was placed befor the altar rails.

The marked benefit which people In run

Fruit Trees Damaged In Illinois
Telegraphic Communication Inter-
fered With.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Reports received
here show terrific snow, sleet and rain
storm is raging from the Allegheny noun
tains as far west as Kansas. In Illinois
and Missouri the storm is especially severe.
In portions of Illinois and Iowa fruit trees
have broken down under the weight of ice
and street cars were forced to suspend
traffic. In Wisconsin the snow was gem
eral and caused considerable delay to
trains. In South Dakota and many points
in western and southern Minnesota the
heaviest storm of the winter is raging. 1t
is showing furiously, and the wind has
drifted the light snow to such an extent
that the railroads are having serious delay
in moving trains. Telegraphic communi-
cation in the several states is greatly in
terfered with, and is almost at stand
still.
The storm of last night was the most
serious in effects on telegraphic communi-
cation that has been experienced for many
years. This morning nearly every train
dispatcher's Office in the city was silent
and trains in every direction were making
their way through the fog as best they
could without orders. Fortunately no Sc
rious accidents occurred. Later in the
day when the sleet melted and fell from
the wires and the inemen were enabled to
repair damages communication was estab
ished for short distances. The most Sc
rious damage to the lines, however, was at
more distant points. Beyond the Missis-
sippi the lines running through Minnesota,
Iowa and South Dakota suffered most Sc
verely. The storm was most severe and
poles and wires went down together over
the long stretches.
Toward the southwest, south and east
the same condition of things prevailed
1t was practically a clean sweep. At the
offices of the Western Union it was said
the company had suffered more than at
any time since 1888. This morning the
only communication was northward. Large
forces of inemen were sent out and after a
time quadruple wire was got through to
Cincinnati, and communication with the
rest of the world was gradually opened up
| in a precarious sort of way. The Postal
| was in about the same condition.

TIE FIFTY-FIRsT CONGRESS.


The Nicaragua Canal Bill Under
Consideration in the Senate-Work
OF the House.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 20.-On mo-
ton of Mr.. Davis, the senate after the
transaction of routine morning business
proceeded to the consideration of pension
bills unobjected to. There were $50 pen
utes. Among them was one giving pen
sion of $50 month to the widow of Rear
Admiral Steedman, and one giving pen
sion of S12 month to Mary Morgan Ed
son of Vermont, six of whose sons had
served the Union army of the rebellion.
The senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the Nicaragua canal bill
giving the guarantee of the United States
government to the company's 4 per cent.
bonds to the amount of 500, 900, 000.)
Mr.. Vest opposed the bill and Mr.. Ed
munds made few remarks in favor of it.
Without action upon the bill the senate,
after a short executive session, adjourned
till tomorrow at II a. m.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, from the COM
| mittee on rules, reported resolution for
the immediate consideration of business
reported by the committee on the judic-
| iary-the first bill to be taken up to be
| the bill for the relief of the supreme
| court with senate amendments and next
| the bill to fix the salaries of United States
| judges.
After debate the speaker announced
that the senate amendments had been non
concurred in by vote of 1855 to 0, and a
| conference was ordered.
The house then proceeded to the consid-
Grafton of the bill fixing the salaries OF
| United States district judges.
| Messrs. Mcmillan and Cheadle opposed
the bill as extravagant and Mr.. Caswell OF
Wisconsin favored it, holding that adequate
salaries should be given to judges of the
United States courts.
The house substitute was Withdrawn,
leaving the senate bill in its original form,
| providing that the salaries of district
Judges shall be So, 900 per annum.
| Mr.. Mcmillan offered an amendment re
ducing the salary to 81, 900. To this MI. B
D. Taylor of Ohio offered an amendment
providing that the salaries of district
Judges shall be increased to $1,000.
On Mr.. Taylor's motion no quorum voteo
and under the rules the house took recess
until o'clock.
The house at its evening session passed
113 private pension bills and at 1870 ad
journed.
