.ANEJD THB SHERMAN ACT
So as to Provide for the Free
Coinage of Silver.
SENATOR STEWARDS. PLAN.
A Proposition to Encourage the Build
ing Of Electric Railroads.
In the House of Representatives Cummings
Introduces a Resolution Going for
the Postotiice Department.
Work of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Numerous
petitions for and against the passage OF
the anti-option bill were presented and
referred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture.
Petitions were also received for the
closing of the Worlds fair on Sunday
and for the construction of the Panama
canal.
Mr.. Stewartlnurduced bill amending
the Sherman act SO as to provide for free
silver coinage, and the coinage OF the
bullion now being held in the treasury,
and an addition for the issue of treasury
notes based on silver deposits, which
notes are to be redeemable in gold or Sill
yer coin at the option of the government,
and are made legal tender.
The anticipation bill was laid before the
Senate but informally laid aside to allow
the discussion on the Indian territory
resolution to be continued.
The judiciary Committee reported and
the Senate passed bill to punish mem
bers OF ships crews for aiding or encour-
aging in riots and disorders on the high
seas. This is merely an act in addition to
the present law, which deals only with
the members of the crews.
Mr.. Vest, by request, introduced a bill
to encourage the construction of an cleo
trio railroad, to promote the interests of
commerce and travel, facilitate the rapid
transportation of mails, aid in demon
straSing the feasibility Of the distribution
of electrical power for agricultural and
other purposes along the line of electrical
roads and especially to aid in the con-
struction OF the proposed electric railroad
between Chicago and st. Louis, Referred
to the Committee on Commerce.
A joint resolution authorizing the sec
rotary of the treasury to appoint tenn
porary register OF the treasury was passed.
The JOINT resolution introduced by Mr..
Vest on Tuesday for the appointment of
commission to treat with the civilized
tribes in Indian Territory with view to
induce them to take homestead in sever
atty was taken up and discussed, but
went over without action.
Mr.. Washburn s anti-oDtion bill then
came up, but went over again till to-
morrow for reprinting. Mr.. Harris had
criticised the manner in which the bill
was printed, not showing in different
types. the different amendments, etc.
Mr.. Washburne said he had no obiec-
tions to the bill being reprinted, and go
ing over till tomorrow. There was a
purpose, he SAID, on the part OF the peo-
pie interested in defeating the measure to
do so by delay. He read telegram just
received from New Orleans stating that
cotton spectators, and speculation towns
had wired to Washington to postpone the
bill till after the holidays under the idea
that exaggerated reports of short crops
would enable them to unload at higher
prices. The bill then went over.
The Senate then went into executive
session and when the doors were opened
adjourned.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 12.-[Special.
Details have reached here of the MUIR
der OF A. j. Case and Dan Sullivan and
the attempted murder Of A. w. King
near Sheridan Monday night, last. While
Sullivan, King and two other men were
playing poker in Cases saloon three
masked men entered, carrying rifles.
Their leader commanded all in the saloon
to throw up your hands!'
Without waiting to be obeyed they
commenced shooting. King was shot
through the shoulder and the neck, but
was not seriously wounded. Sullivan
was shot through the head, and died in
stantly- A shot passed through the
wrist of a boy who was holding up his
hands, in obedience TO the command
given when the men entered. Case, who
was asleep in an adjoining room, came
into the barroom, and was shot down.
He cried: s'My God, boys, I'm shot,
don't shoot again. Oneof the masked
men stepped nearer end shot him in the
head, killing him.
The murderers then ransacked the
house and emptled the pockets of the
dead man. They secured $3.50, several
watches and four revolvers. Case has
been following the new railroad all sum-
time checks. He was supposed to carry
large sums of money with him. One of
the murderers stole a fine saddle horse
and all struck north presumably for the
line of the Northern Pacific.

THIN CURRENCY QUESTION.
Germany is Content with Her
Present Monetary System
AND WILL ADHERE TO GOLD.
The Investigation into the Panama
Canal Scandal.
The Government Now willing to Aid,
but viii Oppose the Passage of
Special Laws-Heavy Forgeries
in England-Foreign News

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-In the reichstag
Count Meternaeh, Conservative, asked
the government to assist the bi-mettal-
lists in the Brussels monetary conference.
Chancellor Caprivi replied that the Ger
man delegates were instructed not to give
their assent to any proposal that re-
stricted Germany's right to decide what
should constitute her own currency and
to declare that Germany is content with
her present system and would not
change it.
The chancellor said the Conservatives
were evidently trying to harness the cur
rency question and anti-Semitism to the
same car. Events that had occurred dur
ing the past few weeks had caused him
the greatest dismay If anti-Semitism
and bi-mettallism were to be used as
demagogic cries, the government would
have to make q determined stand. The
currency question. the chancellor de-
clared. became more dangerous as a ma
terial for popular agitation, the less it
was understood.
1t would be deplorable if the honorable
members of the reichstag made their at
titude on the military bill dependent
upon bi-metallism, and placed the latter
question higher than the question of the
defensive power of Germany. The chan
cellor stated that he wished to announce
to the world that the German delegates
to the conference were IN no way con-
nected with the German government.
Caprivi concluded his remarks by declar-
ing that Germany would continue to adj
here to the gold standard.

A UNION PACIFIC WRECK.
The Pacific Express Ditched Near
Granger, Wyoming.
A Broken Rail the Cause, Five Cars
Crushed, Twenty-Five Persons Injured,
Two of Them seriously.

OGDEN, Utah, Dec. p, Especial. J.
This morning at 7:15 at Hallville, near
Granger, the Union Pacific passenger
train No. was wrecked. No. came in
this morning as a special at 12:45. Five
cars were badly wrecked and about TWEEN
ty-fve persons injured, only two being
injured seriously. One man had his leg
broken and woman had her collar bone
broken, besides being injured Internally.
All the injured but one are raw Italians
and it was impossible to get their names.
The Italian emigrant car was broken into
kindling wood and the other cars badly
wrecked. 1t is wonder that many were
not killed, as it is the worst wreck the
Union Pacific has had for years. The ac-
cident was caused by a broken rail. When
the train arrived here those who were in
jured the worst were taken to the Union
Pacific hospital for treatment.

THE CRISP INCIDENT.
Said TO BE the First Gun in the speaker
ship Fight.

Said TO BE the First Gun in the Speaker
ship Fight.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12--The first gun
in the speakership contest OF the Fifty
third Congress has been fired by the Re-
form Club of New York and the battle is
now on. While the Reform Club was
doubtless in entire ignorance in advance
OF the philippe which Mr.. johnson of
Ohio pronounced against the speaker and
Chairman Springer of the Ways and
Means Committee, the disposition of
congressman is to consider Mr. ohnson's
utterances and the discourtesy offered
Speaker Crisp by his hosts as only part OF
a plan which has its origin out of Con-
gress and which is an attempt of the club
to dictate the speakership of the Fifty
third congress. For the first time there
was a desire expressed for list of mem
bers of the Reform Club, and Mr.. Cochran
and others who succeeded in naming
sucn list assert that at all times mug
wumps and Republicans are able to con-
troll the destinies and policies of the club
and that therefore 1t is not much of a
Democratic club after all.
There is a general expression in con-
gressional circles that Mr.. Cleveland send
Crisp have a thorough understanding as
to tariff reform and the course to be pur-
sued in the fifty-third congress, and that
the president-elect was IN entire ignor-
ance of the intended slight to be placed
upon Speaker Crisp Speaker Crisp'S
speech, had it been delivered Saturday
night, would have shown that, While in
the present congress, with a Republican
Senate, he favored a tentative plan of
separate bills, his opinion of the course
TO be pursued after next March, when the
Democrats viii control not only both
of 1,a
as we'll. IS that the tariff should be re-
vised by general bills.
The morning papers today have con-
frmed previous reports OF the slight i'm
posed upon Speaker Crisp and strength
ened the impression that it was inten-
tional and designed for popular effect
throughout the country. The House itself
took early and 5ffectual means to resent
the indignity which had been offered their
presiding officer and as the speaker en-
tered to rap the House to order there was
a demonstration amounting to an ovation.
When silence was finally restored, and
after the chaplain's PRAYER, members
mounted the rostrum and grasping the
speaker by the hand congratulated him
upon the esteem in which he was evil
IDENTIFY held by the House. This was
doubtless a matter of great gratification
to Speaker Crisp, that among those who
most emphaticaliy condemn the inhoSpi-
tally of the reform club are many mem
bers who We're not even his supporters in
the last contest.
To Burke Cochran of New York the in
cident is the subject of considerable mer-
riment. 81 told you all about those peo-
pie, - said he. stWhen we looked up the
management of the campaign in New
York we refused to give them single APP
pointment or chance to speak. They
would have ruined everything; yet, now,
when everything is over and we have won
the battle, these 800 mugwumps come
forward and want to read 600, 900 regular
Democrats out of the party

Possibly No Effective Effort VIII
Be Made This Session.
JERRY SIMPSONS OPINION.
The House Is Very Favorable to the
Proposition.
His Judgment Is That With a Calendar
Crowded With Business the Ques-
ton viii Be Laid Over by
General Consent
HERALD BUREAU.
CORNER FIFTEENTH AND G SIS. wv.
WASHINGTON. Dec. p.

,
Representative Jerry Simpson of Kan
sas, does not think the Democrats Of the
House viii make an effort to put through
the Utah statehood bill at this session.
He believes the House is as favorable to
that proposition as it was to the Home
Rule bill. The present session, in his
Judgment, viii be short. and the calen-
dar is SO crowded with business that the
statehood matter viii, by general conset,
be laid over until the next meeting of
Congress, which may occnr in Septem-
Der next.
Mr.. Simpson believes that this would be
good politics, as at that time there viii be
a Democratic president in the White
House who viii sign the bill, which Mr.
Simpson thinks viii readily pass the
Senate by the aid of Republican votes
So distrustful of President Harrison is
Mr.. Simpson that he fears if the state
hood bin should pass both houses at this
session, that President Harrison would
veto it.
As wise precaution, therefore, and in
order that the Democratic party may have
the prestige of having engineered the bill
through the TWO houses of Congress and
having it signed by Democratic presi-
dent he thinks it would be better not to
take further action IN the matter at the
present time. A good deal, however,
viii depend upon Mr.. Washin gton, the
chairman of the House territorial COM
mittee.
Mr.. Washington is an ardent friend of
Utah and if in his judgment it shall be
advisable to report a statehood bill from
his committee this winter his wishes will
probably prevail, and if such bill be
placed on the calendar it viii be very
likely to pass before the 1st OF next March.
On the other hand, should the Senate de-
lay action upon it, the work viii have to
be done over again next winter, and it is
for this reason that some of the more con-
sentative men in the House agree with
Mr.. Simpson that it would be better to al
low the matter to slumber until the next
meeting OF Congress.

IN THE HOUSE
Applause Greets the Entry of the Speaker
Various Measures Introduced.

Various Measures Introduced.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-When Speaker
Crisp entered the House today and took
the chair, there was spontaneous out
burst of applause from all parts of the
floor and galleries, tribute of sympathy
for the Speaker in his unpleasant connec-
ton with the Reform club dinner.
The speaker laid before the house a
communication from the secretary of the
treasury calling attention to the illness of
General Rosecranz and transmitting a
joint resolution for authorizing the sec
rotary to delegate the authority of regis
ter of the treasury, temporarily, during
the illness OF the register. The resolution
passed.
The committee on military affairs re-
ported the army appropriation bill. Re-
ferred to the committee of the whole.
The committee on labor reported bill
to prohibit the employment of convict
labor on public works which was placed
on the calendar.
MIR. Cummings of New York offered for
reference a resolution reviewing an edi-
torial in the New York Sun of the Both
ult. headed ''Outrage by the Postoffice, -
charging that clerks in the department at
Washington are in the habit of excluding
ASWSJtpSI lIOlu 6liS privilege VI DSihS
carried in the mail as second class matter
without previous notice to the publisher
and that it has been discovered that there
are persons residing in the natianal CAPT
tai who will attempt an adjustment of the
difficulties of this sort for money con-
sideration.
1t further states that the ostensible rea-
son for interference with the distribution
of trade journals is desire to keep the
mails from being loaded down with adj
vertising matter for which people have
not subscribed, yet during the mouths
preceding election many millions of cam
paign documents were carried in mails at
rate not allowed publications issued for
business purposes, or in the interest of
temperance or religion. 1t is asser ted
that the postmaster general and superin-
tendent of census have each taken per-
sonal advantage of the opportunity to use
the mails in q manner the department
pronounces illegal for other citizens. The
Committee on Postoffices was directed to
investigate the charges.
A bill was passed for the disposition of
certain abandoned military reservations
in Wyoming and then the House adj
iourned.

CONTEST IN MONTANA.
Argument on the Choteau County
Case is Begun.
Hamilton Has His Certificate and Holds
That the Contest Must Come Be-
fore the Legislature.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. Especial. j.
Argument was begun before the supreme
court today on the merits of the case in
volving the right OF Alfred B. Hamilton,
Democrat, to a seat in the house of repre-
sentatives of the Montana legislature.
Should he be given the seat the Democrats
viii have majority over all on vote for
United States Senator. Should his Re-
publican competitor get the place the
three Pcpulists will hold the balance Of
power.
The county co nmissicners of Choteau
county, as q canvassing board, threw out
Elder precinct on the ground that half
breed Indians had been hired to vote the
Republican ticket This action defeated
the Republican candidate and a certificate
was at once issued TO Hamilton, and he
Immediately took the oath OF Office.
The issue is stated in the seventh sec
ton of the demurrer fled on behalf of
the Democrats to writ ordering the
Choteau canvassing board to count Box
Elder returns or show cause why they
did not. sfThe honorable court holds
that it has no power or authority to en-
QuL6 1utO Ou6 SUOJCCO Ild1OCE SS6 lOIeu Ill
said alternative writ, for the reason that
il appears that a commission has been
issued by lawful authorities to Alfred B.
Hamilton as member OF the hohse of
representatives from the county of Cho-
teau, and shat under the law and the
constitution the said Hamilton is now a
member Of the legislature Of the state Of
Montana, and the court cannot by writ
of mandate inquire into his election or
order a commission to be issued to any
other person.
Counsel for the Democrats maintain
that the office is filed by an incumbent
under color OF title and that contest must
be made before the legislature. Counsel
for the Republicans hold that no official
canvass of the vote of Choteau county
has been made, as the total vote had not
been canvassed and the question now be-
fore the court was whether or not the
canvass board had authority to sit as a
judicial board.

A NEW QUESTION RAISED.
An Attempt to steal the Electoral Vote

An Attempt to Steal the Electoral Vote
of Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. PA statement
is published this morning to the effect
that there is a serious question whether
Weaver electors OF this state were legally
chosen, for the reason that 20, 900 Demo-
Gratis who voted for them and gave them
a majority voted ticket headed Demo
cratic Ticket If this point is sus-
tanned it would give Harrison electors
majority
Populist leaders here interviewed on
the subject this morning scout the idea.
They say these electors are as much Dem
ocratic electors as Weaver electors, hay
ing been regularly nominated by the
Democrats; that the people do not in
struct electors how they shall vote and
the fact that the Democratic ticket bore
the names of Cleveland and Stevenson for
president and vice. president cuts no fig
ure.
Electors chosen, if they so desire, can
vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. The
votes have been canvassed, and the only
way to make the most of the matter now
would be by a court injunction.
