paper-wrapped cigarettes, and about one

WARRINGTON. Feb. 12.-The silver men
have some eight or ten petitions in circula-
tion on the democratic side of the house
urging that the silver bill be made special
continuing order ana it is said had early
today secured about 100 signers. There
are some doubts entertained as to the ex-
pediency Of the petition movement, but the
silver men mostly believe it may advance
the consideration of the bill and are doing
what they can to bring the matter to an
issue carly in the session. The anti. silver
men are urging delay and ARE working to
that end in the hope that there may be de-
velopments which will aid their cause and
enable them to find some way out of the diff
Guilty. The free coinage men are in favor
of speedy action, and say that on political
ground alone, aside from monetary princi-
pies. the sooner the issue is met the better.
The rules committee has not yet taken up
the subject. The peoples party in the
house have joined with the free coinage
people in demanding the prompt consider
alton of the Bland bill.
A member of the rules committee said
this afternoon there was no disposition on
the part of the committee to retard conBid-
Grafton OF the silver question, and the
committee would be found disposed to
bring the matter to conclusion in the
house, and he personally was of opinion
that there would be no tilibustering.

various reductions aggregating in total
about $65,O00. The house then went into

But Miss Moore is erratic, and she knows
she can always get as much as that from
the variety theaters. Consequently when
she left "Ihe Hustler" early in the season
she took a turn at the vaudeville houses
and then organized "Zig-Zag'' company,
with herself at the head.

full, in spite Of the fact that a wealthy

that it was hard sailing. At Stamford.

mirers, began negotiations with repre-
sentative of Oliver d Holmes, to play in
their music halls in Great Britain and
booked her passage on the Etruria, which,
sailed from this port Jan. 80. Her inten-
tion was to leave the vessel at Queenstown,
and proceed at once to Dublin, where she
made her first appearance at the Dublin
music hall.
According to one story she took her
mother. her child and maid with her. On
the passage list her name is given as Mrs.

Dewitt Warmers Speech.
BROOKLYN, Feb. l2.--The anti-Hill meet
ing held at the Criterion theater tonight
was largely attended. Augustus Healy
opened the meeting. and his scathing re-
buke Of Hill and follows was cheered at
every point, and there were repeated cheers
for Grover Cleveland. Edward M. Shep-
pard, chairman of the meeting, spoke in
severe condemnation Of the act OF Hill mon
in calling such an early convention. He
WAS followed BY John Dewitt Warner,
whose speech was the principal one OF the
evening. Warner first dealt with the defeat
of Mills for the speakership He said Mills
was beaten by u combination of those op-
posed to the management under which tho
democratic party had succeeded, of which
combination the New York state demo-
cratic organization, directed by Gov. Hill.
was principal factor.
Whatever may be the motives of the
others. Warner stated that in his opinion
Hills plan AZ defined in his Elmira
speech, was TO cali halt in tariff reform
and bring free coinage to the front. The
people did right to protest aeainst the mid
winter convention. liz was only the last
and crowning crime of Il long series that
the present democratic state organization
had committed and he took it that this meet
ing meant that the people were not going
merely to repudiate the convention now
called, but to give notioe that they would
visit with political death any man or organ
ization that dnres thus to forge the name
New York democracy. Warner was loudly
applauded, and resolutions were then
adopted in line with those adopted at the
New York meeting last night, and continu-
ing the committee of twenty five who called
this meeting and requested them to enlarge
their membership to 100 and take such
stops as they may deem wise to promote
the purposes of the meeting.
Rev. DR.. Chas. II. Hall next voiced his
protest and was followed by Fred w. Her
rick, after which the meeting broke up
amid enthusiastic cheers.

LONDON. Feb. 12.-The striking ccal port
els declare they will not yield until their
demands are conceded. The delivery of
coal locally is accomplished only with great
difficulty. Nearly every coal depot on the
river Thames is at standstiI. Thirty
barges are waiting to be unloaded at Black
friars. The strike was entirely unexpected
by the men, who were appraised of the
action taken by the lenders by delegates
who were dispatched to the depots with
orders for the men to quit work. So sud
denly WAS the strike decided upon that che
men employed in the depots did not have
time to procure a supply of coal against the
famine with which London is now thu cat
ened. Retail dealers have already ad-
vancod the price, and this will cause much
suffering among the poor, who will be COM
pelled to buy in small quantities. II tho
strike continues it will cause widespread
distress. for the factories and places of
that description will he compelled to close
down because of a lack of fuel. and many
men will be thrown out of employment.
