The Experience Of San Antonio Merchant
in q Mexican Prison.

In mexican Frls0n.
SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 6.-N. G. Bag
ley, a commission merchant of this
city, has returned home after an ex-
perience in Mexican prison. Bagley
sold $4,000 bushels of corn to A. Carde-
mas of Mexico. When the corn arriv-
ed Cardenas refused to pay for it,
whereupon Bagley appeared, and
finding the corn still unloaded from
the cars took charge of it, aud sold it
to another party. For this Bagley
was arrested, and spent three weeks
in Jail, but was released on bond
through the efforts of Minister Ryan
and others. Bagley's reason fol
seizing the corn was the slow process
which would have followed had he
brought legal action to collect the
debt from Cardenas.

THE SILVER MEN.
They Are Working for an Early Considera-
ton of the Bland Bill.

They Are Working for an Early Cousldera-
ton of the Bland Bill.
The silver men have some eight or ten peti-
tions in circulation on the democratic side of
the House urging that the silver bill be made
special continuing order, and, it is
said, had early today secured about
100 signatures. There are some doubts
entertained as to the expediency of
the petition movement but the silver men
mostly believe that it may advance considera-
ton of the bill, and are doing what they can 70
bring the matter to an issue early in the ses-
sion. The resolution introduced by Mr.. Bland
the day he reported the bill fixed February
II, which is next Wednesday, as
the day on which the silver bill
should be taken up, but it is not expected by
the silver men that they will succeed in getting
it up SO early, and they will probably be con-
tent if by that time an order can be secured
naming a later day Or which the bill shall be
taken mp. There is very earnest work being
done on both sides Of this question, but
at the present time il is in a quiet way The
anti-silver men are urging delay and are work
ing to that end in the hope that there NAV be
developments which will aid their cause and
enable them TO hnd some way out Of the diff
Guilty The free coinage men are in favor of
speedy action, and say that on political
grounds alone, aside from the monetary prin-
ciple involved, the sooner the issue is met the
better. The rules committee has not yet taken
up the subject. No meeting has been held
since the resolution was offered and il is under
stood that there are several other matters
which have been before the committee for
some time likely to be acted upon in advance
of action on the silver resolution.
The peoples party in the House Of Repre-
sentatives has Joined with the free coinage
people generally in demanding the prompt
consideration of the Bland bill In a separate
petition today addressed to the Speaker, as ex-
oficio chairman of the committee on rules. the
nine regular peoples party representatives
petition the committee on rules to set an early
day Tor the consideration Of the Bland
free coinage bill. This petition is independent
members of the committee on coinage, weights
and measures, and is intended as the official
utterance of the peoples party a. represented
In the House.
