WASHINGTON, ID. c., February ID
In an interview to-day Senator Faux
ner talked at some length Oh the silver
question and the Presidential outlook in
both parties for 1892. The tariff ques-
tion, he said, would continue to be dis
cuSsed. despite the action OF the pres
ent Congress. The country would be
called upon 70 settle the debate on sill
yer. There will be Il unanimous de-
msnd from the South and West for free
coinage legislation, and favorable
answer to the demand is bound to come
before long. Every Democratic State
convention, with but four or five eXcep-
tions, has favored free coinage, and no
Democrat can oppose or evade the Is

have the Republican nomination in 1892

would again care To enter the arena.
Harrison, Mr. Faulkner regards as
hardly possibility. As to the Demo-
cratic nomination, up to yesterday, the
Senator said it was certainty Tor Cleve-

changed. 1t was. he thought, too early

much as tariff reform. To get the SEN
timent for tariff reform as it now is,
good deal Of missionary work had to be
done: and ia behalf of silver similar

\ WARM SESSION
Of the Illinois Joint Assembiy-rhe Re-
publicans Go to Pieces.

SrENGFrErp, Ills, February "a
The Republican party went to pieces in
the i0int assembly to-day. All those
members who have protested against
the Republican boom for Representative
Moore. the +. NJ. b. A. man, took oc-
casion to administer rebukc 10 the
Republican steering committee. ms
rebuke to the party leaders was all the
more severe because 10 was totally nm
expected. The Republican steering
committee when the roll call was ordered
for the first ballot attempted to spring
4 little surprise. Instead OF continuing
for Lindley the mandate was silently
circulated that the president OF the
f. NJ. Il. A. should be dropped, and the
name of Richard j. OgleSby, the regu-
lar party nominee. substituted. Many
Republicans who had not been consult
ed on the proposed change OF program
me repudiated the mandate OF the
steering committee aud voted their in
divdual preferences.
On the SGth ballot the Republicans
all came into line for Lindley, and the
vote was as follows: Palmer l0l; Lind
lev 100: Stelle .: Hubbard |.
The excitement during the latter
part of the session OF the joint assem-
biy was added to by the fact that one of
the Republican members, Representa-
tive Mitchell. was pronounced TO be IN
danger of dying. His physicians said
that he was suffering from pneumonia.
He occupied a sofa behind the Speaker
and appeared to be growing worse. His
eyes presented II peculiarly glazed ap-
pearance and his fcverish breath came
In sudden gaSps. His Republican col
leagues were truly alarmed rs his con-
dition and sought again and again TO
secure an adjournment, but the Demo-
Gratis voted Solidly against II with one
of the +. NJ. y. A. men and the other
two voting with the republicans. The
attempts were defeated by tie vote
until after the 95th vote had been
taken.
The Republicans have succeeded in
poStponing the decisive Senatorial bal
lot for a few days and are much elated.
They induced the +. NJ. Il. a. repre-
sentativcS to to give them Il few more
days in the hope that the Republican
Steering Committee might be able
to swing the full strength Of the party
to DR.. Moore. Astute politicians
think this is Il vain hope. but the Re
publicans are far from conceding de-
feat. The +. NJ. Il. a delegates are di-
yidcd. On no ballot to-day did the three
men vote as unit. Moore and Taube-
neck stuck together. but CockrelI voted
for three different candidates. The
Democrats assert that he is prepared to
vote for Palmer whenever Moore will
do likewise.

4 COSTLY TRUNK.
How u Gay Drummer Got His Moneys
Worth.

There was a commercial drummer
here from Michigan the other day.
Now the average drummer when lac
isn't eating or sleeping or selling goods,
j. putting in his time thinking mp new
yarns. or concocting some practical
Joke. They are Iovial souls. But 1t IS
really relishable sometimes to score a
polnt on them. The Michigan drum
mer in question was sauntering by
House Il Herman's store Oh. Main street
and eSpied the mammoth trunk when
the firm placed outside the store Tor an
advertising sign. Ills fancy lii on it,
One of the proprietorS was standing 10
the door.
"I'n Just give you seyenty-hye cents
or that trunk" said the drummer joking
lv, not for Il moment ,uppo>ins that this
paltry sum would seal the bargain.
THE trunk is yours, said the pro-
prietor. swherc shall send it?'
Now the drummer didn't really want
the trusk, but under the circumstances
abided by his bid. He CAV" his addres,
in Michigan. and the trunk was shipped
Yesterday. The chamces are that ih"
drummer will go into a trance. however
when he is confronted with the freight

as displayed to good advantage the pro-
gresS and proficiency OF the pupils.
The participants seemed to he little dis
turbed by the presence OF so
many people, and gave some very eX-
cellent renditions, which were listened
to with much delight by all present.
The knowledge OF harmony and tone
shading that seemed to prevail even
among the very young pupils was quite
noticeable. Miss Good was frequently
complimented by those present upon the
success OF the recital. Among the pupils
who took part were the Misses Lima
