WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 1O.-The
silver question is the chief topic Of dis.
cussion in the House, and to-day the
matter has taken new shape.
The silver Republicans held confer
euce last night. 1t was the opinion Of
most silver men that the chances were
against them on unlimited free coinage.
II was thought that sufficient Rspubli.
cans could not be induced 10 break
away from party ties unless there was a
solid Democratic vote, which could not
be obtained. A sentiment was deyel
oped favorable 10 compromise. and II
was determined to make an effort for
free coinage Of American silver, with a
seigRorage charge on foreign silver. The
adYisability Of holding q party caucus
on this proposition will be mooted.
Those in charge are not sanguine Of
success and the situation 10 complicated.
The Democrats are not as rule willing
10 favor any measure which does NOT
provide for absolute and unlimited free
coinage, while tosa very considerable
number OF Republicans free csinags Of
the American product is almost, II not
quite as Objectionable, as the bill which
passed the Senate. The silver men are
moving TerySlowly, and meanwhile the
session Is drawing towards close and
diminishing the ttmo needed in which
to put through any measure, even II
common ground Could be found.

sPRINGTIE1D, O., Feb. 10.-The --latest
development in the Niles separation case
is the return of Madame Niles from New
York City. She telegraphed her hus-
band few days ago that she was wild
with grief and could not stay away. Her
husband wrote to her, but would not
diyulge the contents OF the letter.
Whether she returned in answer 10 his
letter cannot be learned. Mrs. Miles is
staying with friends in this city, and
there seems no prospects Of an immediate
reconciliation.
When Madame Niles was shown cop
les OF papers in which friends Of her
husband accused her OF being addicted
to drink and OF having been under the
influence Of liquor on her wedding tour,
Madame Niles became enraged and de-
nounced the stories as Infamous false
hoods. Madame Niles has had inter.
views with several prominent attorneys,
and 1t is expected that legal separation
will follow.
Dr.. Niles was formerly a profts ssor in
the medical department Of the Western
Reserve College at Cleveland. His wife
is typical Spanish beauty and speaks
English imperfectly. Both the Doctor
and his wife have moved in the highest
social circles in Springfield. II the mat
ter gets into the courts it is expected
that there will be some sensational &C.
counts Of their matrimonial difficulties.
