THE FREE COINAGE BILL.
1t Will Be Delayed in the House Commit
tee on Coinage.

The House coinage committee has evidently
adopted policy Of delay in the consideration
of the silver bill. Yesterday Mr.. Leech. the
director of the mint, was before the committee
and, in response to questions, pointed out the
danger of free coinage of silver without a
general agreement among nations that they
will recognize silver money standard. At the
end of the discussion with Mr.. Leech an attempt
was made to have other meetings Of tine COM
mittee this week 10 dispose of hearings on the
bill, but il was failure and there will no. be q
meeting before next week, and the prospects
are not favorable to the disposal of the meas
ure at The meeting.
In behalf of the President. or at least to pro-
tect him from the embarrassment OF having to
act on bill for absolute free coinage, an effort
is being made to secure q compromise restrict
ing the coinage to the American product. The
radical silver men and the radicals on the other
side are opposed to this. The former
object because "a discrimination against foreign
silver would make difference of value between
silver in America and silver abroad, which
would be seriously detrimental to our financial
dealings abroad, giving to our currency value
by fiat only the latter because of the impression
that the President would sign modified bill,
though he would not sign one for absolute free
coinage Those who earnestly oppose free
coinage have no desire to make it easier for the
President to sign free-coinage bill. even to
save the President from an embarrassment

LORD DUFFERIN'S BALL.
Its Mishaps Afford Plenty Of Topics of So.
ciety in Rome.

Its Mishaps Afford Plenty of Topics of So
ciety in Rome.
A special cable dispatch to The STAR from
Rome, dated yesterday, says: 1t has just leaked
out that the grand ball given last week at the
British embassy in honor Of the Duke of Cam
bridge was the occasion of most annoying series
of blunders. In the first place Lord Dufferin,
the ambassador, was probably too busy to
glance over the list of invitations as for this or
some other reason that official document was
muddled in the most hopeless manner cards
being sent to a large number Of senator's and
deputies who have long been dead, to the wives
of bachelor members of parliament and other
non-existing personages, among them the late
Minister Mancini.
Another faux pas was the omission to first
submit the list to his majesty. as is customary
The result of this oversight was especially
annoying, rs the king after the list had been
sent to HIM by his express command Cancelled
some $50 of the invitations, not including those
addressed to his deceased subjects, and Lord
Dufferin in consequence has since been busily
engaged in paying visits of apology and ex-
PLANTATION to the sighted ones.
The ball, however, turned out to be brilliant
affair, but even then the minister's i'll luck did
not desert him. During the opening and mos.
elaborate OF the dances, q state Quadrille, a
young officer caught his spurs in q lady's dress
and rolled on the floor at the queens feet.
Hardly had the commotion caused by this in
cident subsidized than the aged prime minister,
curtained window and came near falling on his
back. Altogether Lord Dufferin's ball will
supply food for the gossip mongers for some
time to come.

A WAR ROMANCE.


Soldier CASTOR Goes Back South and Claims
the Woman Who Saved His Life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Milo CASTOR arrived at Pitts
burg the other evening from Elberton, Ca, on
their wedding tour and will visit James McLain
few days before proceeding to the groom's
home in New York. The events leading up to
their marriage form a romance of singular
interest.
In 1862 CASTOR Joined New Hampshire regi-
ment and went to the front. He WAS afterward
captured. but while being taken to Anderson
vile succeeded in escaping. He wandered
about through Georgia woods and swamps for
nearly three weeks, when, famished and crazed,
he decided to give himself up. One evening
he crept out of the thicket in which he had
been lying all day on a couch Of wet brush and
made his way to large and old-fashioned
southern home. Caring little whether he
lived or died he walked boldly up the driveway
and knocked at the door. The place seemed
deserted. He was finally admitted by young
woman who carried q revolver in her hand.
She got him some supper. When she had lis
tened to his story she said she was alone in the
house, but expected her father. who was home
from the confederate army on a sick leave, to
return at any time She seemed to take an in
terest in CASTOR ana hid him in the garnet.
There she fed him for two weeks, when he es-
capped.
After the war he returned south and heard
that his benefactress had married. CASTOR is
now railroad contractor. Last summer he
was building branch on the Georgia Pacific
road. when he learned that his old love was a
widow and had five children. He Immediately
went to the old home. near Elberton, made
himself known, and the result was marriage
several days ago. Il told Mrs. Chambers. who
is now my wife" said CASTOR, with a tremble
in his voice, that if it had not been for her
would have died in a southern swamp or prison,
and told her she ought not to let me roam
around alone and unprotected in my old age

A Notable Ocean Race.

The British ship Aristomene arrived at New
York yesterday from Calcutta, and when her
commander was told by the pilot that another
British bottom, the ship Dundrennan, arrived
Tuesday he felt very down-hearted. The Dun
brennan brought similar cargo and was con-
signed to Timothy Hogan 4 Bros They are
both iron clipper ships. and at Calcutta a match
for swift smiling and seamanship was arranged.
The Aristomene cleared first and left Calcutta
on September "a. Two days afterward the
Dundrennan set sail and followed in the same
track, by way of the Cape Of Good Hope. The
latter got to port day ahead, and thus won
by three days in the ocean race of IL 900 miles,
The Dunslrennans time was Ill days and the
Aristomenes ia days. The winning vessel
measures 1881 tons, which will not be forgot
ten by her commander, Capt. Palmer, Us 1t is
by that figure that the year in which she won
is known. The Aristomenc carries 1850 tons,
and if haiidicaps were allowed in ocean racing
she won!d probably get the prize. Both vessels
encountered generally fair weather and came
nto port III good condition.

SALISBURY ON HOME RULE.
The British Premier ON the Issues Of the
Day.

The British Premier ON the Issues Of the
Day.
Lord Salisbury delivered . political address
at Cambridge yesterday. In the course of his
remarks he said that his parliamentary oppo-
nents lad furnished him q merry Christmas.
They executed transformation scenes with great
versatility. but the importance of events in
which they participated had been exaggerated.
He did not believe either that the home-rule
contest was on the point of victory or that it
was now dead. He then said:
MANY positions must be carried before home
rule is victorious. Even if the mysterious home
rule bill is passed, it will be our duty to undo
the mischief. MY belief in home rule owes its
existence to two very clever men-Mr. Glad
stone and Mr.. Parnell. While they support it.
should give you imprudent advice If per-
suaded You the battle was over. Many vigor-
Gus struggle is still before you. Recent events
have cleared the air and shown us what to ex-
pect In the absence of documentary evidence
IL is probable that Mr.. Parnelrs account of the
Hawarden interview is the most accurate, but
what Mr. Gladstone thought n year ago is no
guide to his thoughts year hence.
Il hesitate to speak of Mr.. Parnell's char
acter in this university, of which he is dis
tinguished alumnus, but his opponents can
hardly DC considered champions Of morality,
since they took ten days to decide that they
WOulu no longer associate with him. Inc
home-rule rehearsal in London and Kilkenny
was not edifying and seems to have evolved a
Donnybrook fair. Whatever happens in Ire
land runs to blackthorn. The rehearsal proved
that Irishmen were quite incapable of conduct
ing an independent parliament. 1t had further
shown the unlimited power of the priesthood,
whose matchless organization has swept down
a man who had been the despot of the whole
Irish movement here and In America. That is
the ruthless organization beneath whose heel
you would place Protestants by granting home
rule. We shall be mad indeed if we neglect
the lesson which the tempest has unveiled.
The antagonist with which you have been con-
tending is the sinister domination OF Croke and
Walsh. To me it is a matter of rejoicing that
the disclosure has happened, as it will fortify
Ulster to herself. Home rule will never be
carried"
In concluding his speech, Lord Salisbury at
tributed the suffering and discomfort in Ireland
to natural DEFICIENCIES, due to climate and alb
sence Of the mineral resources which enriched
England. He believed that the construction of
light or relief railways, the peasant proprietary
system and emigration were more important
for lrelands well-doing than experimental leg
lslation. If the unionist efforts succeeded in
dissipating i'll dreams and passions and passing
good measures, the present unionist struggle
would be in the future regarded as the founda-
ton OF lrelands prosperity.

A CODE OF LAWS.
One Has Been Prepared for the District,
But Never Enacted into Law.

One Has Been Prepared for the District,
But Never Enacted into Law.
On last Saturday morning, during the debate
On the District bill in the House. Mr.. McCreary
called attention to the fact that he had sent to
the library and every other place where books
are found and was unable to find that the CITY
OF Washington had any code Of laws for its
government 1t will be remembered that he
contended that such state of things was q blot
upon the record Of this fair city, and stated
that there ought to be a code of
laws so that Congress could understand
how the city Is governed and whether
the appropriations are fair and proper, so that
they could be able TO tell exactly what amounts
should be appropriated and what amounts
should be refused While il is not generally
known II Il nevertheless fact that on March
$500 for the codiIication of the laws
of the District On December 8
following the Commissioners transmitted TO
Congress the code as prepared by Mr.. Edward
Chase lngersoll. since dead. who Was at the
time one of the most skilsul codifiers in the
country This document L. still in existence
and Is known a. Senate miscellaneous docu-
ment ~. Forty-sixth Congress. second session.
The code covers Al pages and is considered by
many a very concise and carefully prepared
document For some unknown reason, how
ever, the code has never been enacted into a
law and still remains a musty old Senate docu-
ment-
10 would be an easy matter for Congress to
enact this code into law and thereby save
not only the time necessary to prepare such a
codihcatlon, but also a large amount of money.
An old member Of the bar. in conversation
with STAR reporter on the above subject said:
There Is no DENYING the fact that we are
sadly IN need Of a code of laws The one you
-efer to l have carefully examined and have
NO hesitancy in saying il Is a carefully pre-
pared document and one which IL enacted in IN
a law would save the people Of the District
thousands OF dollars annually. Why, in re-
eording deeds alone go. 900 could be saved.
i sincerely trust it Will become n law"

THE GUY CASE.

tREPLAcIya OF LAMP POSTS.
In letter to the Commissioners recently
Capt. Lusk called attention to the fact that I'M
der the existing law it does not seem right to
require the gas companies to replace lanterns
and lamp posts broken by accident or unfit for
service, and recommended that in the future
expenditures on this account be borne by the
District. The Commissioners thought that the
District had better keep to the contract this year.
and Capt Lusk has changed his recommended
ton SO that the matter will be adjusted when
the contract for the nsxt fiscal year is prepared
DRAWBACK CERTIFICATE CASE.
Under the act OF January 10, 1872, authoriz-
ing the repayment of taxes enormously paid
an interesting and somewhat complicated case
has arisen.
In October last the owner Of o piece Of prop
erty in the northwest paid his taxes in cash.
Later the same taxes were paid by another
party, who, instead of settling in cash. paid in
drawback certificates. He now requests the
refund of his drawbacks erroneously paid and
the question which Auditor Petty is wrestling
with Is how he is to make the refund in cash
or in certificates In payment of taxes draw
backs are received at par: If it is thought best
receives a slight advantage.
A careful consideration Of the subject is
necessary to keep the accounts of the District
straight.
