about the water tank for short time and
when he thought he was no. being watched
clambered TO the top of the car. Carley had
witnessed what was going on and for the

and as soon as he had reached Fifth street
he drew pistol and fired two shots at Car
ley. The first shot did not take effect, but
the second struck in the abdomen near the
navel. After superficial examination

mon witnesses. He said that one thing to

was surprised at certain points by the

The District Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-After the routine
morning business in the Senate a resolution
was offered by Teller and agreed to calling
on the Secretary OF the Treasury for a state
ment as to tie amount Of silver offered to
the Government each month since the pas
sage of the bill of July II. 1890, by whom
and at what prices; the amount of silver
bullion purchased each month of that time,
from whom and at what prices, and the
number OF days given sellers in which to
deliver tire silver
The Senate then proceeded TO the consid-
GRAFTON Of the bill making appropriations
for the expenses of the government OF the
District of Columbia.
While the bill was under consideration
Stewart made personal explanation Oh the
subject of an article in yesterdays New
York Evening Post containing list of
mortgages made TO him in Alameda, Cal,
wherein there was an obligation that pay
ment should be in gold coin. These mort
cages he said resulted from tie sales of
property at auction through a firm of
brokers In San Francisco. The mortgages,
lie presumed, weTo drawn up in the usual
blanks, which contained tho obligation to
pay in gold. he had never seen them, but
had no doubt that that was the cause. Il
arose from what was known as the specific
contract law. passed in 1863. which was still
in force there. and under which the gold
standard had been maintained there during
the war.
Hale hoped that the Senator would see to
it that 10 such thing should take place in
the future.
Stewart promised to do so. and added that
he would be glad to be paid In any kind of
money. He had always been opposed to
the specific contract law, which he thought
had operated to the great defriment of the
Pacific Coast. lie repeated that the brokers
had drawn up the mortgages in the usual
way, and he was not responsible for that.
The consideration of the bill was then re-
Sumed.
An amendment was offered to the bill
approrriating $4,000 for the reception
and entertainment of the next cncamp-
ment Of the Grand Army of the
Republic In Washington, one-half the
amount to be paid from the treasury
and the other half from the revenues of
the District of Columbia. providing that no
part of the amount shall be available
until $1,000 shall have been raised
by popular subscription and expended. A
substitute was offered appropriating 500, 900
for the same purpose. Harris and Vest op-
posed the proposition. After some debate.
the matter went over without action. after
Hawley had given notice of an amendment
placing the expenditure under the control
Of the Secretary Of War.
During the discussion the bill TO place
wool on the free list and to reduce the duty
on WOODEN goods was received from the
House and after the district bill was laid
aside the wool bill was laid before the Sem
ate by the Vicc-Presdent and was referred
to the Finance Committee. The Senate after
short executive session, adjourned.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secretary Blaine
said to-day. in response to an inquiry on the
subject, that an agreement had been finally
concluded with the British Government in
regard to the modus vvendi in the Berlng
Sea pending the settlement By arbitration
of the juris isdictioDal rights oil the United
States in those waters. he declined. how
ever, TO say anything In regard to the con-
dition Of the negotiations. The departure
Of the President from the city at this time is
regarded as specially significant In view
of the statement attributed to him
that he would not go away until the
question OF the modus vivendi had
been settled one way or the other. 1t Is be-
lieved that an agreement has practically
been reached by the President and the
British Minister and that the basis of an
agreement has been communicated TO Lord
Salisbury for his action. As il Is not likely
that the British Premier will dispose Of the
matter for several days the President prob.
ably thought he could avail himself Of the
interval for a few days recreation. The
agreement partly concluded is said sub
stantially TO be the same as the mCdus vi
vendl of last year, and that expires on the
24tn of May.
Active preparations are now being made
at the Navy and the Treasury depart
ments for the dispatching OF vessels TO the
Bering Sea.
The vessels TO be used in this service will
be the revenue steamers Rush. Bear Cor
win and Abatross and the warshi 8

rangements are being made in anticipation
