The WHITE METAL.
The Free Coinage Bill Taken Up by The
House Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-The House Com
mitiee on Coinage, Weights and Measures
went to work on the Silver Bill in earnest
to-day. Boston delegation of capitalists
appeared before the committee. They have
been here since Saturday last, familiarizng
themselves with the silver agitation in and
about the capital. Before commencing to
take evidence Bland proposed to the COM
mittee that daily IL ceilings be held until
Wednesday next, when vote should be
taken.
Walker was quick TO object, saying there
should be no limit to the Investigation on
such an important question. Bartne OBJ
served that if an immediate vote should be
forced there would be cause for complaint
OF not having had time for consideration of
the question in all its bearings. 1t was de-
cided to hold another meeting Tomorrow.
and also one Frid ", at which time it vii |,
no doubt, he agreed upon how long the com
mittee will receive delegations.
The Boston bankers were then given
hearing and William Hlgginson, having been
selected 10 present their views, spoke to the
committee for half an hour. He said that
much of the financial depression felt during
the last few months was due to the agitation
of the silver question. Bartine interrupted
and inquired If there were not other reasons
for the depression He insisted that in fact
very little of the trouble was due to the
silver agitation, but most of it was due TO
the fact that there had not bean enough sill
yer legislation.
1t appeared. from .he meeting day, that
OF the committee. Walker, Comstock,
Knapp, Taylor and Tracy will be united in
vigorous fight against free silver, while
Carter. Bland, Williams and Bartine would
press its claims. 1t is understood tonight
that Edward Atkinson of Boston will to-
morrow submit an extensive paper against
the bill. lie is a well-known statistician on
questions of political economy, and his
figures in this case will conform to the
wishes OF the anti-silver men. 1t is thns;ght
that BANDS suggestion for the comm ttee
to take vote not later than WednesdaYlwill
prevail, and in this way the measure VIII
speedily reach the House.
The committee of Boston business men
called on The President this morning and
discussed informally the silver situation and
opposed free coinage. The President, 1t Is
said. was non-committal, and said it would
be eminently improper for him at this time
to give any expression regarding his views
on silver or his future actions.
IN the House to-day Representative Wilson
OF Washington read memorial from the
Chamber of Commerce of Spokane Falls
favoring the free coinage Of silver.
NEW YORK. Jan. ga Washington spe-
cial says: The President had conference
with number of Representatives lately on
the silver question. who state that the Pres
ident is anxious for additional legislation,
but has not been able to determine in his
own mind what the character of such !egis-
lation should be. They say he is willing to
go as far as TO absorb the product of Amer
lean mines, but whether by free coinage or
purchases iSnot known.

FEDERATED WORKMEN.
Labor Organizations Believe Il UnViSe to
NEEDLE With Politics.

New YORK, Jan. 2s-At the meeting Of
the Executive Council of American Fedora
ton OF Labor yesterday, the circular issued
by Powderly requesting all labor organiza-
lions to send delegates to the conference to
organize third party in conjunction with
the Farmers Alliance was brought up. but
1t was decided to pay no attention to it. 1t
was thought unwise for labor organization
to NEEDLE with politics.
The miners demand for eight hours, which
takes place May next, was taken up, and it
was resolved to levy an assessment of 2
cents week per capita for five weeks on the
members of all unions connected with the
federation. 1t is said there are favorable
prospects that the demand for eight hours
VIII be granted without any strikes, as the
employers and employees are holding confer
enees all the time with good results.
The committee which recently went to the
convention OF brick-layers at Toronto to ask
the Brick-layers' National Uuion to join the
federation reported the brick-layers had de-
clded to refer the matter to the individual
unions. The chances are, they reported,
that they would join after while.

The Case Being Heard in the Superior Court Of
Marin County Before Judge Murphy.
Unwilling Witnesses.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

SAN RAFAEL. Jan. 2S-The case Of The
People VS.. Prescott Sawyer. who was indicted
by the Grand Jury for an assault with intent
to commit murder on one Herman Franz at
Sausalito, June Z, 1890, was called for trial
this morning in the Superior Court, Judge
ID. j. Murphy of San Francisco presiding.
This case has created general interest, not
only in this county but in San Francisco, on
account of the social position of young Saw
yer.
This morning, before the case opened, the
courtroom was crowded with spectators.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Prescott Sawyer, ac-
compa MED by his father and an array OF
legal talent seldom seen at one trial in Marin
County, appeared in the courtroom. Saw
yer was represented by General W. II. L.
Barnes, Fl. Wilkins and T. d. Riordan,
Clement Bennett. the shorthand reporter,
was also engaged by the defense to take
notes of the trial.
About two hours were taken up in i'm
paneling jury, after which District Attor-
ney Cochrane made his opening statement
TO the jury, reciting the facts of the case
and giving general insight to the circum-
stdICts sulIJuuulIS llle case IN Il concise
manner. At tie conclusion of Mr.. Coch-
rane'S address Barnes made his opening
statement, in which he said that the de-
PENDANT was justified in this alleged murder
Gus assault.
Several witnesses were sworn for the
prosecution, and there seemed 10 be a gen.
eral reluctance on their part to stating all
the facts. They were repeatedly cross
examined by the District Attorney before
the facts within their knowledge were
brought out. Two of The witnesses for the
prosecution testified that ON the evening in
question they were sitting in company with
Franz Oh the steps leading to the yachts
house. They were approached by Sawyer,
who had the day previous discharged Franz.
Sawyer accosted Franz saying: Didn't
tell you to keep off this wharf?" Franz
Immediately knocked Sawyer down. Saw
yer arose. clinched with Franz, and they
both fell to the wharf. They were then
separated and Franz walked away, but
Sawyer drew knife and pursued him. stab
bling him three times and following him into
the clubhouse, where they again clinched
and were separated.
Sawyer again renewed the attack and
Franz fell from weakness. While Franz
was OH the ground Sawyer kicked him re-
peatedly, and had il not been for the inter-
ference OF the bystanders more serious re-
suits might have happened.
As the court adjourned, the defense were
opening their side of tho case. 1t is thought
that the case will rest and argument begin
tomorrow before noon, there being but few
witnesses for the defense yet to be heard.
There is a general impression prevailing
that few of the witnesses are Withholding
