WHAT THEY THINK OF IT.

Sanders and Power Condemned for Acting
Against Silver.
The recent attitude of the Montana sena-
tors on the silver question in the United
States senate has been vigorously discussed
in this city within the past few days. The
republicans have expressed themselves Wig
orously on thes subject but most of them re-
fuse to be quoted. DIR. M~ussigbrod, who
came over from Deer Lodge YESTERDAY.
when asked for his views said: 81 have the
honor to be a member of the National Silver
association and therefore my views on the
subject can hardly be expected to reach
those of a brainy man like Mr.. Power. You
know all of the brainy men of the country
are opposed to silver"
Lieutenant Governor Richards said: .Mv
criticism on the senators would certainly be
adverse, if their action is correctly re.

Sanders would SO directly oppose a great in.

was a very trying one. She was alone,

her lover; but checking her emotion, with
one hand she seized the reins and with
the other supported the body of her COM

about 81 years of ~ while his compau-

the old man drank quite heavily and was
very quarrelsome, but was prevented from

last night while the three we're sleeping at
Nights livery stable the old fellow got
out OF bed and went Cunning for the
young man who kept such a close watch
over him during the day. The young
man was sleeping with Alvin Tucker, a
lad of IA and a driver TOR the stable.
Approaching the bed the old man fired.

WAsHINGToE, Jan. l6.-The secretary
Of the navy has written a letter to Com
mander Reiter who was censured for his
action 10 the Barrundia affair, denying
the request for a court martial and telling
him that the department regards his case
as having been finally disposed of. The
secretary says, in part: You state that
the departments action in your case con-
stitutes a public reprimand, and that this
is a punishment that can only be legally
inflicted by the sentence of a naval gen
eral court martial. Your statement shows
that you are ignorant of the first princi-
Piles OF naval discipline. The assumption
that the secretary of the navy cannot pro.
nOunce a rebuke, public or private, upon
an officer for breach OF discipline, or fail
ure of performance of duty, without OBJ
tanning the sanction of a court, is an I'M
heard of proposition. The department
impartlally awards praise or blame to an
officer who deserves one or the other. as
occasion may arise, and the practice is as
old as the department itself. The secre-
tary also reminds the commander that he

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Jan. IG.-John
McShaue, proprietor Of a saloon at TWEEN
tieth and Wyoming streets, was shot dead
BY a masked assassin shortly after 10
O'Clock last night. At that hour McShane
sat In his saloon reading. The only other
occupan was league Carr, his barkeeper.
Suddenly the door opened aud a tall,
slender man entered. He wore a hand
kerchlet over the lower part of his face.
Walking up to McShane, he drew a revol-
yer from his pocket and fired point blank
at the sitting man. McShane spraug to
his feet and the follow fired twice more,
then turned, ran from the saloon and es-
capped. The first shot penetrated
McShane's left lung. the second struck
his knee, and the third, fred as be reeled,
struck him in the base of the brain, in
the rear. He died a few moments later.
There is little or no clue by which the
murderer can be traced. A. j. Wag-
Goner a notorious character, was arrested
about II o'clock last night, but the one
witness to the TRAGEDY can hardly identity
him. at 5 O'Clock this morning John
Clark, another suspect. was arrested at
his home at Kansas City, Kan. and was
locked up at police headquarters, in the
same cell with Waggoner. The evidence
against both is Of a purely circumstantial
klnt. Waggoner has twice before been
under arrest for murder. Coroner Longs
dale began an inquest this afternoon.
