CRAZY MAN ESCAPES.
He Wrenches Bars From His
Window and Flees.
COURT DECLARED HIM SANE.
A Violent Patient at Providence Hospi-
tai Escapes and Takes Possess
sion of House.

r. ]. McIlveen, who was tried before
Judge Lichtenberg about two weeks ago
on charge of insanity and discharged,
but who since then has been confined at
Providence hospital in the section set
apart tor violent patients, escaped from
his cell yesterday morning about O'Clock
by tearing the iron bars from the window
of his room. Clad in blanket he made
his way to house in the vicinity of
Seventh and Terrace streets, where he re-
manned all day and night, causing the in
habitants much alarm by his behavior.
McIlveen is a carpenter, and has of late
been so violent that his mother appeared
IN court and testified as to his mental con-
dition. Judge Lichtenberg discharged the
case, on condition that McIiveen be placed
IN Providence hospital. On April II he
was placed in one of the strong rooms,
and IN short time broke the iron bed
stead. He explained that he wanted to
use the iron for splints. Five days ago
the steward found him standing in the
middle of the room, his trousers and vest
having been stuffed with hair from the
mattress, so that he appeared to be very
portly. The steward asked him why he
had stuffed his clothes in that manner. to
which he replied: II want to look like
Thug Sullivan"
He amused himself by writing inscrip-
tons on the walls, and would even stand
on a chair and decorate the ceiling.
One of the inscriptions read:
R. J. McIlveen ia my name,
Ireland is my nation;
America is my dwelling-place,
Heaven is nay expectation.
In another place he had written: "R J.
McIlveen, Belfast, County Down, Ireland"
and close to the door: "Where are you
going, Poll? Heaven. l hope to meet you
there"
On Friday he became violent and the
sheriff was called. He looked at the
room, examined the windows and re-
marked, "He can't break those bars"
McIlveen heard it and said: Cant II
Give me some liquor and see what can
do"
Contrary to expectation, the patient was
quiet Saturday and through the night.
When the attendant went to the room
yesterday morning, however, the second
and third bars had been torn from the
window. McIlveen was gone. In order
to get away he had forced the bars from
their sockets in the window sill and bent
one as if it had been small wire. As his
clothes were not handy and blanket
was missing it was concluded that he had
departed in abbreviated costume. The
sheriff was notified and in short time
the runaway was located at the house
mentioned, but not taken, owing to the
fact that he had been discharged by Judge
Lichtenberg. Late in the night he still
held the fort, much to the discomfort of
those with whom he had located

THE SILVER SITUATION.
FREE COINAGE GAINS A COIGN
OF VANTAGE.
The Bland Bill to Be Special Order For
About March 22d-Debate To Be
Limited to Three or Four Days En-
gland Not Party to an International
Monetary Conf ference.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-As the result
OF en- informal talk between the three
Democratic members of the committee
on rules-Crisp, Catchings and McMil-
lin-a determination has been reached
to bring in special order on the silver
question. 1t has been determined to
make the, Bland bill special order for
March 21st or 22d, though this date may
be changed. The purpose is to give the
bill four days for consideration in the
house. Within this time it is to be de-
bated and brought to vote. If neces-
sary because OF filibustering, rule will
be brought in to bring the matter to a
vote.
1t is the purpose Of the anti-silver
men to fight the special order of the
rules committee at the very outset, and
endeavor to defeat it.
A large number OF members of con-
gress conferred with the speaker during
the day and all gave opinions on the
silver question.
The report that Great Britain has
consented to take part in an interna-
tional monetary conference, and indi
Gated that the Rank of England was
willing to hold one-ifth of it's reserve
in silver, is denied at the treas
ury department in most posi-
tive terms, and one of the
prominent officials has made no attempt
to conceal his opinion that the present
agitation is for the sole purpose of infu.
encing favorable action on Senator
Teller's bill now before the senate, pro-
viding for an international conference
and thereby effecting postponemeni
of action at this session of congress on
the question of free silver. 1t is learned
from other sources of unquestioned re
liability that there has been no material
change in the situation on this question
since the opening of this session of con.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-28

'sthis condition of affairs, which was
then proven never to have existed, is
certainly impossible under the present
competition.
The minority in conclusion opposes
the "bill because the industry is already
established; because the removal OF the
duty would destroy it, throwing thous-
ands of men out Of employment, and
rendering millions of invested capital
useless, and turning $2,000,0 900 in wages
annually to the laborers of other coun-
tries, because there is lively competi-
tion which can only be maintained by
the present duty, which enables manu-
facturers of American hemp binding
twine to prolong their existence, and
because it would inevitably increase the
price of binding twine, and also because
we oppose free trade and believe in the
protection OF American industries"
