In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-After the pas
sage of a number of bills the House went
into committee of the whole on the Indian
appropriation bill.
Smith, of Arizona, said the Indian ques-
ton should be settled by the plowshare and
not by the spelling book. He (Smith) had
gone west believing in Cooper's con-
ception of the Indian. He had found the
Indian nasty, dirty, lousy vagabond who
would not work. The Indian must be
civilized by making him work. Without
disposing of the bill the committee rose.
The naval appropriation bill was sent to
| conference.
The speaker laid before the House mes
sage from the President regarding the
death of General Sherman and it was re-
| ferred to the committee on military affairs.
Resolutions eulogistic of Admiral Porter
and directing the speaker to appoint COM
mlttee to attend the funeral were unani-
mously adopted, and the House, as an ad
ditional mark Of respect, adjourned.
| Representative Dickerson, of Kentucky,
| introduced for reference to-day, a bill to
repeal the Mckinley tariff bill and TO re-
enact all laws repealed by that act.
Owen, from the committee on immigra-
ton, reported the committee bill to amend
various immigration acts.
Clifford, of South Dakota, introduced a
bill 10 prevent the sale of fire arms and am
nunition to the Indians and to disarm all
Indians under the supervision of an Indian
agent.

secured the passage of the bill for the re.

that in January, 1890, while General Kim

Office was robbed of its contents. Investi-

The Senate Judiciary Committee
Investigating.
DUBOIS INTERESTS HIMSELF
n the hatter-An Anti-Dubois Meeting as
Eagle Rock-Tbe Idaho Legisla-
ture and Its Work.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 14.-TSpecial tel
egram to The HERALD. The Senate Judi
ciary committee is giving careful consider
alton to the charges against Mr.. Beatty.
Dubois personally examined these chsrges
when they were first placed on file in the
department Of Justice, and he has satisfied
himself that all of the number have been
laid before the Senate committee. The
committee will probably not reach CON
clusion in the matter before the middle of
next week. Every day Mr. Edmunds, the
chairman of the committee, receives a
score or more of kilograms bearing upon
the case. At first the majority of these
kilograms were unfavorable to Beatty, but
within the last few days his friends have
rallied their forces and are beginning to
tell their side of the story. Meanwhile the
Idaho Senators are somewhat annoyed that
the President has not nominated Pinkhaml
for United States marshal. 1t was their ex-i
pectation that both the Judge and marshall
would have been nominated at the same
time, but the Presidents failure to do this
satisfies them that he will fail to give the
Office to Mr.. Pinkham if Beatty shall be
| turned down.

How the President Received the News.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE President
had lust finished lunch this afternoon and
was walking stairs to his Office, when
the Associated Press bulletin announcing
the death of General Sherman was handed
to him. The President was very much
moved at the intelligence, as he and Gen
eral Sherman had been near and dear
friends for many years. The President
served under General Sherman in his
famous march to the sea and the friend
ship begun at that time has been strength
ened by their close association ever since.
The President sent for General Grant,
acting secretary of war, and General
Schofeld, and gave instructions for full
military honor for the dead soldier and
made several suggestions in regard to the
general orders announcing General
Sherman's death to the army. He also
prepared message to Congress on the
same subject issued an executive order an
nouncing his death to the country and
adding; 1.-THE secretary Of war will cause

GOVERNOR HILL, OF NEW YORK,
Is Recorded in Favor of Silver-Democratic
Opinion on Cleveland's Famous Cooper
Union Letter-It is Divided.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 14.-[Special
telegram to THE HERALD. IL learned to-
day from an entirely reliable source that
the New York chamber of commerce pur-
poses raising fund of half million dol
lars to be expended in campaign of edu-
cation against the free coinage of silver.
They believe that by substituting newspa-

them and ultimately neutralize its effect

The Generals Il A. r. Post.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE announcement
Of Generals Sherman's death caused the
deepest sorrow among his thousands of
friends in this CITY, The Ransom post,
Grand Army of the Republic, of which
General Sherman was first commaner,
feels his loss more probably, than any other
in the country. The general had refused
innumerable times to become an
active member of posts in other
cities, saying he loved his
comrades of the Ransom Post, had been
one of its charter members, and would re-
main with it TO his dying day. It's expect
ed the funeral arrangements will be, to a
certain extent, made by the Ransom Post
as General Sherman in his letter of Febru-
airy 9, 1890, expressly desired to be laid at
rest by his old comrades.
Commander Ripley sent telegram to
the generals son this afternoon rendering
the services of the post ana announcing
that an escort and guard of honor would
be sent to New York.
| At mass meeting of leading citizens this
afternoon, message of coincidence and
| sympathy was sent to the family AS the
news of his death was received, the fire
| bells tolled out the intelligence in all parts
of the city, and the flags on all municipal
| buildings went half-masted. Those OF the
| federal structures were already at half
mast in respect to the memory of Admiral
| Porter.

Governor Hill in Favor of Silver.

Especial to THE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch
New York, Feb. IA World special
from Albany says: The Republican and
Mugwump newspapers of New York dur
ing the past few days have exploited the
peculiar significance attached by Ellery
Anderson to Governor Hills failure to at
tend and address the Cooper Union meeting
at which eX-President Cleveland's declara-
ton against free coinage was made public.
An attempt has been made to make people
believe the governor does not dare indicate
his position on the silver question. Who,
they ask, with note of triumph, is the
Coward and ''skulker'' now! Certainly
not DavidB Hill whatever may be thought
of his attitude in the matter. Had the
memories Of his enemies extended over a
period of only FIVE months they would have
known the reason of the governors non
attendance at an anti-silyer gathering.
None could be palmer or more definite.
He was not in sympathy with the ideas of
the party which applauded Mr.. Cleveland
so vociferously; he believed in free coinage
under a proper international ratio, first of
all, but as choice of evils he considered
superior to the present system. There is
no doubt of Governor Hills position. He
enunciated it with characteristic directness
| September % last, when he gave
the principal address at the opening
of the Thomas Jefferson club in Brooklyn
at that time. After denouncing the Republi-
can financial policy generally he spoke as
! follows:
'"The new monetary legislation of Con-
| mill in ha oil
act redoubles the latest. repeats the earliest
and perpetuates the worst of those errors
which for nearly thirty years have made
unsound finance a daily national instruc-
ton and honeycombed the constitution with
Republican law, instead of executing the
granted power to coin the peoples gold and
silver into money, instead OF effecting its
circulation by gold and silver certificates
strictly representative of coin dollar for
dollar. This Republican Congress has now
managed without the excuse of war or the
pretenSe of necessity, to add another new
tangled legal tender to that promissory
debt currency which the United States
supreme court, before it was packed to
revise its own decision, rightly adjudged
illegal.
after twelve years. failure by compul
sorry silver purchases to promote free bi
metallic coinage at home or abroad, the
Republican party is trying to deceive the
people by claim of having settled what
it calls the silver question: The assump.
ton is as unwarranted as it is deceiving
The recent legislation of Congress is merely
temporary expedient. 1t will give per
manent satisfaction nowhere; 1t puts
heavier strain upon our resources thar
free bimetallic coinage without foreign
, co operation would do, obstructs our prog
ress towards that end which all desire t.
reach-the free coinage of silver under ;
proper international ratio"

The Idaho Legislature.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, Feb. 14.-TSpecial
telegram to THE HERALD. THE senate
spent most of the day considering the house
bill No. 10, providing for the construction
of a wagon road from Banner, in Boise
county, to Wallace, in Shoshone county.
The committee of the whole reported the
bill back and recommended its passage.
The senate passed two house bills, one
appropriating money to pay the clerks and
the expenses of the state officers; and the
other to pay for labor and supplies at the
Insane asylum at Blackfoot.
The house spent the afternoon discussing
bills requiring railroads to fence their
tracks and creating bureau on gathering
labor and immigration statistics.
There is considerable anxiety among the
members as to whether this is a regular
session of six days or an unlimited special
session under the constitution. If 1t should
be decided that it is the former, many very
important bills will not be reached. q

CINCINNATI, Feb. 14.-General Sherman
became companion of the Ohio Comman-
derry of the Order of Loyal Legion in 1882,
and in 1887 he was elected its commander
and served one year. The fact that Ohio
was his native state as well as that of
many of his military comrades, induced
him to place his membership here. Sew
eral companions were appointed a commit
tee to represent the commandery at the
commandery at the funeral, including ex-
President Hayes, General Cox, General

Democratic Opinion on Clevelands Letter.

Especial to THE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch. |
New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE World this
Saturday morning says: ''The Demo
cratic candidate in 1892 must carry every
one OF the states which cast their electoral
vote for Mr.. Cleveland in 1854, The loss
of either New York, Indiana, New Jersey,
Connecticut, West Virginia or any south
ern state would mean defeat. Prudent
politicians cannot afford to overlook the
serious aspect of the situation which would
depend upon the inability of Republican
capitalists to purchase any one Of dozen
small commonwealth. But against this
apprehension the Democrats have pointed
with great satisfaction to the signs of Re-
publican dislntegration In the west. 1t is
there the silver question is considered the
most important, and Mr.. Clevelanu's blunt
declaration gives rise to many Interesting
questions such as: Can every Democratic
state be carried by candidate pledged
against free silver! Is there the slightest
hope of winning Republican state with
an anti-silver candidate. Will Mr.. Cleve-

the Democratic leaders doubt of his avail

will cause admiration for the characteristic
boidness of his position; but it will weaken

Edward I. Noonan, mayor of st. Louis
Mr.. Cleveland's letter opposing the free
coinage of silver places him in antagonism
to the democracy of the west, which is
largely favorable to free coinage, and will
most certainly lose him the support OF
what are known as the silver states. Per
sonally, am with the Democratic party

on the side of free coinage. In my opinion.
