MINORITY REPORT.
ISartine Speaks for the Silver Men In Con.
EresS.

Bartine Speaks for the silver Men In Con-
Eress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Representative
Bsrtins, of Nevada, in behalf of the minor
ity members of the house coinage commit
tee, to-day submitted report in favor Of
the passage of the silver free coinage bill.
The report begins with an expression of re-
gret that the majority delayed the report SC
long as to render it practically impossible
for the house to consider the bill during
tho present congress. The minority, the
report says, have no doubt of the ability OF
the United States to establish and main
tain donble standard, even without Euro
pean corporation, and predict that if the
United States adopted free coinage it would
receive support from the principal nations
of the old world. In conclusion, the report
admits the difficulty of forecasting the
actual result of financial legislation. but
says:
1--WE firmly believe that the complete
restoration Of silver will inure to the best
jnteresteE tbs country. We do rot pre-.
tend to entertain the belief that the cues.
tion OF free coinage involves any snch al
Tentative as national prosperity or national
ruin. We believe that under any system OF
finance at all likely to be adopted the
American republic will move steadily for
piest and most prosperous upon the face of
the earth. 1t is only question of what is
best to pursue, and we feel assured that a
double standard promises more of pros
perity than the maintenance of q single
standard"

port ON Free silver Coinage In
~ the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Especial. J-Among
the nominations sent to the senate to-day
was the name of Robert Fisher, TO be re-
ceiver OF the new land Office at Nissoula.
During the Montana deadlock. when San
ders and Power were chosen by the repub-
'licans, Fisher WAS the right hand man OF
Lieut.. Gov. Richards at the time that Of
dcer. as president Of the state senate. was
forestalling the rulings Ct Gar Reed.
Fisher, as leader OF the repub-
lican side Of the senate chamber,
was the most radical of his colleagues,
being a regular fire-eater, and thus gained
his sobriquet. On the republican joint bal
lot, when Sanders name was proposed
for senator, the volcano from Jefferson
county was the only one to cast his vote
for ex-GOv. b. Platt Carpenter, formerly of
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, who was Arthur's ap-
Dofntee AZ territorial governor of Montana,
preceding ex-Gov. Hauser. Fisher, how
ever, made the vote unanimous when tho
ballot WAS taken on Powers name.
Fl. +. Wilson was confirmed by the senate
to-day as register of the Missoula land
office.

ship Rewarded.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator George
Hearst. Of California, died Mt his residence
on New Hampshire avenue at $40 tonight.
He had been i'll a long time, and in Decem-
Der last went TO New York city to consult
with DR.. Charles Ward. The physician
found that he was afflicted with complica-
tion of diseases. resulting primarily from
serious arrangement Of the bowels. Acting
under the physician's advice, he returned
to his family in this city and yielded him
self entirely to medical treatment. Absc-
lutte quiet was strictly enioined. and official
duties liRhtened as much as possible. Not
withstandjng the fact that he received tho
benefit of most careful nursing
and most skilful medical attention.
steady and uninterrupted decline WAS
observed, and 1t was seen several weeks ago
that his case WAS hopeless. Within thu
past day or two there WAS change for
worse. This evening he sank rapidly, and
tho family was summoned to his bedside.
Those present were: VIM. X. Hearst, the
senator's son; J. G. Follansbee, of Califor-
mia, the senator's partner; DR.. Ward, the
nurse, and several domestics. The sena-
tors hands were held by Mrs. Hearst and
the physician, and 30 quietly and easily
did he pass away that Mrs. Hearst
did not know he was dead until
so informed by DR.. Ward. He gave
no indication whatever Of pain or discom-
fort, and seemed to the anxious watchers
merely to haye fallen asleep. DR.. Ward
said tonight that the senator displayed
wonderful fortitude in his illness and had
not during its entire course uttered COM
planning word or expressed the least fear al
to the result.
Senator Stanford, who had been fire.
quent visitor at the house of his late col
league, called there few minutes after his
death and extended sympathies to Mrs.
Hearst. Many other senators and repre-
sentatives and leading officials called and
left messages of coincidence.
While arrangements for the funeral are
not entirely completed, it is settled that
the remains will be taken to San Francisco
for ipterment and the funeral services In
this city will be brief and simple. They
will probably be conducted at his late resi-
dence in this city tomorrow or Monday. 40
it is desired to convey the remains to Cali
fornia as soon as possible.

The Direct Tax Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The direct tax bill
which has gone to the president provides,
in substance, that the secretary of the
treasury shall credit each state and territory
a sum equal to all collections by set-off,
or otherwise, made under the terms OF
the direct tax act of 1861. All
moneys still due the United States under
that act are remitted. A sufficient sum of
money is appropriated to be paid when va
rious Legislatures shall have accepted the
sums in full satisfaction of all claims
against the United States on account of the
direct tax levy. The money appropriated
to meet individual claims is to be held in
trust by state authorities, six years being
allowed for the reception of these claims.

Relations Further Strained.

PARIS, Feb. 2S.-The instructions sent by
Chancellor Caprivi yesterday to the gov
ernor of Alsace- Lorraine to refrain from
mitigating the passport regulations of
Alsace-Lorraine, as previously proposed,
and not to extend in any way additional
facilities to the inhabitants of the French
frontier who wish to attend the markets
and fairs of that territory, has caused con-
siderable excitement here. The Partisan
newspapers to-day publish violent articles
on the subject, not IN anv way tending to
relieve the strained relations at present ex-
isting between Germany and France on ac-
count of the attacks made upon Empress
Frederick during her stay in the French
capital.

WILLIAM ENRAGED.

Also Out of Temper With Csprivi snd
Munster.
Copyright. 1891. New York Associated Press.1
BERLIN. Feb. 2s.-The empsror's wrath at
the failure of the visit of Empress Frederick
to Paris to establish in some sort good feel
ing between Germany and France, has
fallen upon both Chancellor Won Caprivi
and Count Won Munster, German ambas-
sador ut Paris, upon the former
for advising the trying Of tho experiment
and upon the latter for asserting to the pro-
lonped stay of the empress, and her fatally
indiscreet visit to Versailles. Notwith-
standing a semi official French denial, M.
Herbette, French ambassador here. was
consulted prior to the emperor giving
his consent to the empress making
tho journey. Court officials here affirm
that the chancellor mentioned the empress
desire, her personal aims and the probable
before she started. The emperor appears
to charge the chancellor and Munster with
misinforming him as to what the results OF
the visit would probably be.
Herbette, who WAS probably instructed
by French Foreign Minister Ribot in
formed the chancellor yesterday that he
ror his regrets at the manner the empress
had been treated. Tho emperor replied
that he did not wish to hold any unofficial
conversation on a subject which would be
personally painful to himself and Herbstte.
This is interpreted in official circles as
pointing to the emperor's determination TO
obtain from the French government some
form of satisfaction for the treatment ac-
corded his mother. There are rumors that
Caprivi will be ousted and Munster re-
called. Herbette will probably soon re-
turn to France. As soon as the emperor
perceived the crisis was impending, he sent
for Waldersee, with whom he had long
conference, afterwards consulting with
Miguel.
