THE EREE sILVER FIeHT.
The Battle win Begin with Renewe
Vigor Tuesday Morning.

The Battle win Begin with Renewed
vigor Tuesday Morning.
WASHINGTON, March 2s-The second
stage Of the battle on the free coinage bill
will break with full force Tuesday morning
shortly after the house is called to order
when Mr. Catchings, Of Mississippi, will re
port from the committee on rules a specia
order providing for an hour for voting Oh
the measure, and containing a provision tC
prevent filibustering and have a vote taker
not later than Wednesday. The friends OF
the bill and its opponents recognize that
the situation is desperate The latter fac.
tion is inclined to admit that the bill viii
pass if it is put to direct vote, and they
realize that the fight against it must b,
made on the special order. That this ighi
viii be bitter there is no question.
The probable position Of the Republicans
in the battle excite interest There is som,
division in the party on the subject ont
side, led by Mr.. Reed, believing in doing al
that can properly be done to postpone tn
bill and prevent vote upon it directly
while the other side, under Mr.. Burrow'
leadership, thinks it better politics to brinl
the bill TO direct vote in order to place tn
Democratic party on record on the question
Of free coinage.
The provisions of the special order wi
have much to do with the position the Re-
pubhcans win assume toward it. If it cor
tains a cloture proposition, it is likely tina
Mr.. Reed win advocate its adoption as sus
tanning his position in the last congress.
The probabilities are that the special oi
der will be adopted by the aid of Republic
an votes, and it is certain that all excep
ten OF twelve Republicans will vote agains
the bill itself when it is put on its passage
Mr.. V. A Taylor, of Ohio, a Republica
who voted against laying the bill o
the table on Thursday because he b,
heved in compelling the Democrats not I
dodge the issue, says he viii vote againi
the bill on its passage, and it is said tina
Mr.. Funston, of Kansas, who also vote
against tabling, will keep company wit
Mr.. Taylor on the final question.
The lines are so closely drawn on the bi
itself that it cannot be predicted with an
certainty what the result will be. Bot
sides appear confident, the ants lit
more so than their opponents, and it is e,
pected that if the bill is placed on its passal
the majority either way will be less tina
half a dozen.

1T MAKES THE DEAF HEAR
SUCCESS OF A NOVEL INSTRUMENT.
The Mysterious Restoration of Deafness
by an Unseen DevIce-Old Theories
successfully Applied.

Diring the past few years there have been
many rumors Of the restoration, in some mys-
terious way, of the hearing Of those who were
known TO have been deaf for many years. This
has led 70 an Investigation by those inter
ested, and Il has been found that this happy
change has been made by the use OF "A most
simple, yet ingenious device. which was in

named n. A. Wales. This device is the same

lndlce was dispelled, until, az the pr. sent
time, most physicians and auriHta look kindly

At recent interview, Mr.. Wales made the
remarkable statement, that TO his knowledge,
