FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, jar. 29.-Representative
Walker of the coinage committee an
nounces that the committee cow desire in
formation upon both sides of the free
coinage question, and wish any gentle
men who may come before them to direct
their statesments to the following points:
1. What effect has the depreciation of
the commercial price of silver by on :
fifth in Europe and the United States be-
low its coinage price of fifteen and ne.
half to one of gold had on the price of
products and Of wages in silver standard
countries?
2. What effect has the depreciation of
silver by one-tifth as compared with gold
had on the price of products IN this
country which are sent to Europe in com
petition with products of the silver stand
ard countries, also on wages in this
country.
8. What effect would it have on the
prices of products and wages in this
country to go silver monometalism at
sixteen to n of gold, with silver and
gold at their present commercial ratio?
4. Would or would not the free coin
age of silver in this country alone at its
present commercial ratio to gold have
the same economic effect as the immedi-
ate reduction OF our gold coin by one-ffth
III weight?
Committeeman Walker added that the
committee will not report the bill to the
house until they have thoroughly inves-
tigaled the question.
BY direction Of the secretary of the in
terror and commissioner of Indian affairs
q delegation consisting of about fifteen
Indians of the more progressive of the
river, Grow creek, Lower Brule, Rose
ordered to Washington. The delegation
the Indian office. The delegation is ex-
pected to arrive here on Sunday.
The action of Gen. Miles in placing
thirty Indians at Fort Sheridan is alto
gether u military measure, and has been
undertaken without consultation with the
secretary of the interior. Other Indians
who expect to come on from Pine Ridge
and arrive in Washington will be given
Il hearing when opportunity offers.
A delegation of Sioux chiefs and head
men arrived in this city today under
escort of Special Agent Lewis. No def
nice arrangements for their conference
with the secretary of the interior have yet
been made. 1t is probable, however, the
conference will take place next Saturday.

I am inclined to think that heart disease
killed him. Mr.. Window was subject to
fits Of heart failure. On Tuesday last he
was seized with an attack while on the
steps of the treasury at Washington, but
he did not lose consciousness and was
able to take care of himself"
At 1915 p. m. Judge Arnoux came out
of the room where lay WinIom and an
nounced that Secretary Window, whom
they had the pleasure of hearing only a
few minutes before, had brea,hed his
last. ale is dead" he said. This Was
the fearful announcement that was utter
ed in a voice midway between a sob and
whisper through the gayly bedecked
banquet hall, around which still hung
like a funeral pail the smoke of after din
ner cigars, "He is dead" The words
went to the heart of every man who heard
them. Could they believe 1t. That bril-
liant orator of a few minutes before, that
aglow with enthusiasm and predicting
his future policy in the treasury was now
only inanimate clay. His voice was for
ever silenced and his last words were for
his country. Every man looked at his
nelghbor with blanched cheeks. Death
had indeed been with them at their feast
and taken from the throne one of the
nations chief officers. Silence fell upon
men who were only a few mioutes before
clamoring for news of Window. Judge
Arnoux on retiring with the unconscious
man, had announced that Window had
only tainted and 1t was not thought by
those remaining that it was as serious as
it proved to be.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The announce
ment of the sudden death of Secretary
Window in New York tonight gave al
most as great a shock to his official
and associates as did the shooting
Of President Garfield to the members of
his official household. 1t was so terribly
and unexpected that all who
heard the news were profoundly shocked
and so overcome as to be unable to ex-
press the grief they felt. The postmaster
was giving a dinner party to the
cabinet, which was broken up, but Mrs.
Window was not told till she reached her
home. She and her daughters are pros

rhe NJ. +. Church Social at the Resl-
dence of Hon. Il. f. Collins
Largely Attended-An
Occasion That was
Much Enjoyed.

We take a great deal of pleasure IL
giving to IL eastern readers Il br1el
description of some of the model homes
with which Great Falls abound. Yester'
day Il TRIBUNE representative called al
the residence of Mr.. Theo. Gibson, corner
of Fourth avenue north and Fourth street,
and making known the object of our mis-
sion, Mrs. Gibson courteously showed the
pencil pusher over the house. One Is
first ushered into a large hallway 6nished
in dark gilt embossed leather paper, of a
decided metallic tint, with Il ceiling of
the same material and a handsome frieze
of embossed leather, Opening into the
hallway is the parlor and sitting room.
The parlor Is "A perfect gem, being fin
ished in fine cream-colored, giiJ-emoossed
leather Of a delicate pattern, with a cell
ing of the same material, but of a lighter
shade and having a very pretty stencil
pattern. The fricze is of gilt leather Of a
handsome pattern and is set off by Il
9-lnch cove Of II neutral tint between the
frleze and the ceiling filling; gilt mould
lngs and bead.
A wide doorway, hidden by gracefully
draped portieres, leads from the parlor
into the dining room. This apartment is
finished in fine filter paper, with raised
maroon velvet figures; a frieze of the
same material but Of d larger aud deeper
pattern surrounds the whole and gives it
an attractive appearance. The ceiling is
of hand-embossed gilt with a maroon vel
vet cove; gilt mouldings and bead.
We were next shown the sitting room,
a large spacious apartment, well lighted
and ventilated, commanding a good view
of the city and bay and securing the full
benefit of the afternoon sun. This room
is finished in chocolate-colored, figured
with a filter ingram frieze to
A 9-inch ingram cove of IA choc-
olate tint set off the del cate tints to good
effect.
The bedrooms up stairs, of which there
are four, are finished in keeping with the
lower apartments. The entire house is
finished in oil-pollshed Oregon pine, and
the papering throughout has been done
with a view to the best artistic effect.
The floors and m%antelpieces are of oak.
Hot water is the mode of heating, and
the dwelling is amply supplied with
lights and electric bells. All the
modern conveniences are furnished, and
as a whole is a model Great Falls
home.
O.. j. Holmes, the decorator and paper
did the work of papering, and
be deserves much credit for the skill and
displayed.
