A BIG SILVER CONGRESS.

Silver Legislation Imprncticable Now

lie Would Have an International Con-
ference During the Worlds Fair-Pnss
mn in the Next Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. Chairman
Springer, of the Ways and Means
Committee, was asked last night what
he thought Congress should do in re-
gard to the silver question. He re-
piled: 81 am bimetallist and as
such l cannot support any policy
which would relegate silver to the
rear or eliminate it from political dis
cussion. On tho contrary, would
make 1t great national and inter-
national question, and would settle
1t upon lines rs broad as possible, and
at the earliest time practicable"
With Republican Senate and q
Republican President, however, FREQ
coinage cannot be allowed in this
Congress, he said. Nothing could be
done until the next Congress shall as
semble in December, 1898. The prac-
tical thing to do was then to prepare
to leglslate on the subject. Congress
could, he said, authorize the holding
OF an International Monetary Con-
gress to fix the relations of gold and
silver at Chicago during the Worlds
Fair.
This Congress should be popular
one," he said. "It should be q Con-
gress, not a secret conference or COM
mission, as in the past, and should
have large representation from this
government and the governments
with which we maintain diplomatic
relations.
1.-The president should be author
lied to invite the governments with
whom we maintain the diplomatic re-
lations to send representatives. to this
international congress, and he should
be instructed to inform such govern
ments that tho Government of the
United States earnestly desires to Sc
cure uniform system OF coinage and
OF weights and measures, to be
adopted thereafter by all commercial
nations in order to facilitate, so far
as possible, exchanges of commodi-
ties and to simplify monetary trans
actions; that this government desires
international agreement as to the
relations which should be maintained
between gold and silver, and that in
tho event no conclusion is reached
which would meet the appreciation of
this country the law-making power Of
the United States will feel at liberty to
adopt such measures in reference to
the subjects named as may be most
conducive to the welfare of the peo-
pie Of this country.

Germ
Theory

theory } minute injecting germs
or microbes, peculiar to each disease,
which enter the system. 1t being a
we'll settled fact that any remedy which
would kill the germ or microbe would
destroy the life of the patient, it has
been found that to force out these
germs is the only safe relief from their
ravages. In this way Swift's Specific
has for 60 years been curing blood and
skin diseases. 1t forces out the mi
crobes through the pores of the skin,
and soon sends out the poison which
they may have left. In this way the
disease is cured, and the general health
of the patient is built up.

KILLING OFF HIS RIVALS.
How President Barilias Is Making film

How President Barilias Is Making Him-
self Solid for Another Term
SAN SALVADOR, Feb. 24.-The shooting
of Miguel Enriquez, at Zacapa, Guatemala,
the other day, has created a great deal of
bitter comment here and started stories dis
creditable to President Barillas The
account sent out by the Guatemalan ar-
thorities was to the effect that Enriquez,
who was one of the most prominent Con-
servative candidates for the Presidency, or
Ganizoda revolt against the Government,
was defeated and shot as traitor Widely
different is the report that has reached this
city from the opponents in Guatemala of
the present administration. 1t is alleged
by them that President Barillas bore a
personal spite toward Enriquez, and in re-
venge issued secret orders that he be shot
at his hacienda, under the pretext that he
was at the head of a revolutionary faction
The two brothers of General Enriquez
we're informed Of what was to be done, and,
realizing that no time was to be lost, fed
and joined him. They armed all the ser
wants on the hacienda with shotguns and
revolvers, and resolved to sell their lives
dearly. The Government troops soon ar
rived on the scene, and to their surprise
met with a most desperate resistance A
regular battle followed. General Enriquez,
his two brothers and the servants were killed
and three more of their little party wounded
before the building in which they were en-
trenched was carried by the troops. How
gallantly the Enriquez people fought is
shown by the loss by the Government forces
and the killing or wounding of II soldiers.
1t is also rumored here that it would be not
surprising if Barillas should dispose of all
the Presidential candidates in the same way,
including General Beina Barrios.,

CONTRARY TESTIMONY
Introduced by Opposite Sides of the
Jackman Will Contest.
END OF TIE CASE YT' In SIGHT.
A LIQUOR Dealer Sued for Damages Because
of Mans Death.
BUSINESS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

The contest OF the will of the late Andrew
Jackmau, Sr., was continued yesterday be-
fore Judge Over. DR.. c. ?. Seip was called
and testified that Jackmsn was hard
driuker and drank from q quart to three
pints of liquor per day. Jacknan had told
him he intended to provide for the children
of his son Andrew
D. T. Watson, counsel for the defense,
was called to the stand. He said he had
drawn up a will T,,ior to the enc in ques-
ton. 1t was IN 1884 and il was destroyed
when tie second ole was made. He could
not say positively, but he though. the
greater part of the estate was left to Edward
Jackman, with a portion for Andrew, Jr,
in trust.
Mrs. PETTY, a niece of the testator, tes-
tifed TO having lived with the ,Jackman
family and having been told by Mrs Jack
man what the provisions of will were.
She was not allowed to state the provisions.
The contestants here rested their case.
Attorney j. S. Ferguson commenced his ar
rument for the contestants. He said the
testimony as 20 undue influence was suf-
fcient to compel the son Edward to show by
testimony that he had acted properly. He
also laid stress on the enmity between Ed
ward and his brothers wife and children,
and the assertion of Edward that he would
see they didn't get much of his fathers
estate.
Mr. NJ. A Woodward argued on the same
line, and asked that an issue be awarded for
8 jury trial.
Attorney Watson, for the defense, held
that no undue influence had been shown,
and that the evidence had not been sufficient
to sustain the petition, and asked that it be
dismissed.
After some discussion it was decided to
go on with testimony for the defense. James
Bingham and II. G. Hale were called, and
testified as to the signing of the will. Mr..
Jackman was not then under the influence of
liquor. They and DR.. McCance testified
that Jackman was man of much force of
character, peculiar traits and strong
preiudices.
The case was continued until tomorrow
morning.

A MAN WITH NO HOME
STANDS A POOR CHANCE OF BECOM-
ING A PRESIDENT.

A Point Raised Against Hill-Republican,
Prepare to Shout for Harrison and the
american Home-A Precedent Quickly
Cited Against Any Such Ruling.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-LSpecial lone
of a group of Republican Congressman,
talking about the Presidential campaign at
the Capitol, to-day, made curious point
against Hill-a point which was never made
before against any one. Nobody" said
United States who has no landed estate in
the country. Hill owns no local habitation.
He does not have place in which he can
Law his head and call it his"
This statement naturally produced good
deal of discussion, which was eventually
participated in by some Democrats who
Joined the group Harrison" resumed
the Republican Congressman, 'owns a
house in Indianapolis. 1t is small one, to
be sure, but it is his home. There he, his
wife, his children and his grandchildren
have led happy and wholesome lives, and
there his affections are centered He looks
forward to returning there after the end of
his Presidential term and spending the re-
mainder of his days under his own vine
and fig tree
The very fact that he has this little home,
which is his, makes him truer patriot than
any man can possibly be who does not own
a home"
"His brother Republicans, ofcourse, coin
cided with these sentiments, and they
promptly called to mind that Arthur, Gar
field, Hayes, Grant and Lincoln all had
homes when they came to Washington in
which their families lived and to which
they could return when Presidential honors
ended, should they be spared till then. The
Republicans e1ulted accordingly at Hills
deficiency in the shape of household goods,
and began to feel with one accord that
Harrison and the American home" would
be victorious slogan in the coming cam
paign should Hill be the Democratic nomi-
nee.
One of the Democrats rather threw
GOODNESS over the meeting by asking
whether Cleveland owned a house in Buf.
falo or elsewhere when he was elected
President. Nobody could answer The
Democrat said he was quite sure that Cleve-
land did not; that when he practiced law in
Buffalo Cleveland occupied room behind
his Office, and that he did not believe he
owned foot of land in the country on the
day he was elected President of the United
States. If that is so, then the omen as to
Hill is ofno account. Is it true that Hill
does not own any landed property?
While there are no property qualifica-
tions in this country attached to Presidential
eligibility, still it is somewhat odd to con-
ceive of man ruling over great country
of whose soil he does not possess particle,
and who lives, as the saving is, in trunks,
into which he packs his belongings when he
peregrinates from enc public Office to
another.

AFTER HIS CHILDREN. g..
George Keisling Files a Petition for Writ
of Habeas Corpus

of Habeas Corpus.
George Keisling yesterday filed a petition
for writ of habeas corpus to compel Will
lam Schedel to produce in court his two
children, Mary NJ and George w. Keisling.
He states that he and his wife separated
some wears ago, and John w. Schedel and
wife, the parents of Mrs Keisling, took
their two children. Keisling helped sup
port them, and in January, 1891, became
reconciled with his wife. The Schedels re-
fused to give up the children, but they
went into court and obtained them by
habeas corpus proceedings The parents
then retained the children until February
Is. 1892, when they disappeared.
Keisling has since leared that William
Schedel has them and refuses to give them
up. He asserts that the Schedels, of whom
there are numerous families, intend to take
the children in turn so that numerous writs
will have to be issued; and to nullify orders
of court that may be made. He charges
that the Schedels are influencing the.chil-
dren against their parents, and he asks that
they oe produced in court

Brigadier Generalship by His Gallant
Behavior-Time Brings Three Friends
Together.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24-[Special 1.-The
Commercial Advertiser this afternoon prints
the following:
WASHINGTON Feb. AT is reported that
Secretary Noble will succeed Mr.. whitelaw
Reid as Minister to France and that ex-
Representative Thomas III. Carter of Mon
tana, now Commissioner of the General Land
Office, will be made Secretary of the
Interior. Secretary Noble is one of the most
industrious and prominent members of
President Harrison's Cabinet. During his
So years of life he has succeeded in ma king a
record for himself in many roles, in all of
which he has acquitted himself with ability
and during that time has maintained close
personal friendship with the President The
Secretary and Mr.. Harrison a the ages of I9
and 16 respectively were schOolmates at
Miami University, Ohio. After that Mr.
Noble entered on the practice of the law,
but enlisted rs private in an Iowa cavalry
regiment at the outbreak OF the war.
Without any influence other than his
popularity and bravery, he was elected q
lieutenant, when he attracted the attention
OF his commanding officer, Colonel Cyrus
Bussey, who, recognizing his merit pro-
NOTED him to a csptaincy and subsequently
secured his commission as major. At the
close of the late unpleasantness Private
Noble had fought his way up to the rank of
a brigadier general. At present the whirl of
time has, by one of its frequent curious
evolutions, brought the three old friends
again into close relations, the Secretary be-
ing one OF President Harrison's most init
mate friends and political advisers. and
Colonel Bussey, his old commander and
benefactor, being Assistant Secretary to the
young private soldier whose promotion he
secured.
Secretary Noble is a man of fine physioue
and robust Eealth. He has a luxuriant crop
of fine curly black hair, slightly s.reaked
with silver, like his flowing beard, on W hich
time las also set its mark. In features he
has slight resemblance to Senator Frank
IIiscock On February the Secretary cele-
brated his silver wedding to Miss IIaistead,
of Rochester, y. Y, who has made her mark
in the world of letters. Mrs. Noble and her
two sisters, who reside with her. have been
among the most prominent social ladies in
Washington.

A Fair Defendant Produces the Money
When Called Upon.


Judge Ewing's court yesterday was con-
siderably amused at the trouble some
women go to in safely securing money
about their persons. The suit of James
O'Malley, administrator of Bridget Hanley,
against Henry and Catharine Bourke was
on trial The case was to recover 500
given by Mrs. Hanley before her death to
her sister, Mrs. Bourke. Mrs. Bourke
testified that the money was given her by
Mrs. Hanley to pay $50 to the priest for
masses and to divide the remaining $50
among her sisters. The administrator, how
ever, had sued to recover it.
Mrs Bourke was asked by the counsel in
the case if she still had the money She re-
piled that she had, and had it there.
''Will you produce ii ?''
''Will Won please excuse me minute ."
she returned. She was excused. Where
upon she retired behind the Judges bench,
and, reaching down, pulled the money from
out her stocking. She then triumphantly
exhibited the money, and was not disturbed
in the least at the smiles at the location of
her bank.
The verdict in the case was for the de-
