THE SILVER GAGRULE.
Some Think It Will Yet Be
Brought Before the House.
MORGAN PosTPoNEs HIS SPEECH
No Quorum In the Observation-Disclosures
of the Tariff Debate-Attaeks On
the Census Bureau.

WASHINGTON CRY, April L-[special +
There were a good many rumors afioat
again today regarding the probable action
of the free silver advocates in having tho
Bland bill come up in the House again as
an issue. As stated yesterday, it is now
believed that the cloture rule may be yet
reported by the rules committee OF the
House Immediately after the state cam
paign in Rhode Island closes. There was
one story in circulation today to the effect
that the free silver men have secured
enough signatures to the petition
requesting that the rules committee report
a cloture rule to the House. In other
quarters this is denied, and. further. that
there is no probability of silver men ever
being able to secure direct vote on the
Bland bill.
Representative Pierce, who has been
Mr.. BANDS most able lieutenant in the
present House, said this afternoon that he
had great deal of hope that the cloture
rule would be reported and that enough
votes would be secured so that the Bland
bill would come before the House again,
and that if it was not passed the men who
were trying to defeat it would have to 60
on record before the country.

Election Riots Ended-Changes in the
acknowledgements Suppressed.
SAN FRANc1sco. April 1.-[Advices per
steamer Gaelic. THE election district is
gradually becoming quieter, but reports of
disturbances are still coming in. The
trouble at Yokama still continues, and fif-
teen more gendarmes proceeded there. In
Kochi party feeling ran high. The local
secretary of the Hata district was muir
dered, his body being hacked to pieces
during the fight between rival factions.
Political parties have resorted to boycott
ting each other. Following are the off,
cial returns of killed and wounded during
the election troubles: Killed, 81; severely
wounded, As; slightly wounded, 173.
As mark of the excitement with
which the late electoral campaign has
been carried 1t is noted that the Japanese
government has suspended forty papers
during the first two months of the year.
The movements of members of the Jap
anese cabinet are watched with much in
terest. Count Ito has not yet withdrawn
his resignation as president of the privy
council. Viscount Shinogawa has re-
signed the portfolio of home affairs and
has been appointed privy councillor, being
succeeded in the home office by Count
Soyijima Taneomi, vice presiden. of the
privy council. 1t is stated that Mr.. Mutsu,
minister of state for agriculture and COM
merce, has also resigned.

Horrible Tragedy in San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, April 1.-Cartolonne
Galiarde, an Italian laborer, today shot his
wife and brother-in-law, Jacob Canada,
and then killed himself. Galiarde lives
near Telegraph hill, and has always been
hard-workingman, but rather fiighty at
times. No cause is known for the crime,
and it Is supposed he was insane. Canada
was visiting his sister, Mrs. Galiarde, this
afternoon, when Galiarde rushed in and
fired two shots from d revolver at Canada.
Both shots took effect in the head and
Canada tell unconscious to the floor. Gal
iarde then fired two shots at his wife, one
striking her in the head and the other
missing. He then struck her with the
revolver several times, stunning her. The
mailman then fired q bullet through his
own heart, dying instantly. Canada and
his sister were removed to the receiving
hospital, where q surgeon stated that their
wounds were very serious and would prob
ably prove fatal.

Che.p Coal in San Fr.ncisoo.

SAN Francisco, April LA local coal
broker in reviewing the market, says:
Since the sailing of the last Australian
steamer there has been the following arrivals
from Sydney: C F. Sargent, 2,529 tons, an
Alex Mcneil, i,537 tons. There have been no ar
rivals from Newcastle. These very light ar
rivals within the past four weeks should hoip
to better the prices, whereas the market Is In .
much worse condition than when the last mail
left. This is caused by the overstocks on hand
and the free arrivals from the Coast mines, to-
gether with liberal offerings of English and
Australian for future deliveries at lower fig
ures than at any time last year. With these
In view, wholesale dealers are afraid
to offe:, and OFF, largest consumers feel
assured that fuel will remain low during the
year, having NO desire to purchase ahead Of
their immediate requirements. This brings
business to a standsiiil for the moment, a. very
few contracts are being made. Everyone in
trade is amazed at the low prices named for
future loading, with figures named for outward
grain freight when these coal carriers shall ar
rive here. 1t is sadlyat variance with all past
records Of business.
1t would be supposed that the present quo
tations would force the Coast prod uct out OF the
market.
Such is not the case, as they are shipping
literally at prices that must leave a very slim
margin for profit, but they are SO circumstanced
that they must keep the mines working.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC LAND GRAB.
VIII Evfct Settlers From Lands Claimed
by II Under Grant Law.


by 1t Under Grant Law.
FRESNO, CAL, April Ian apparently
well founded report is to the effect that
the Southern Pacific company proposes to
disposess settlers on the west side OF the
San Joaquin valley all along the line from
Whites bridge to Huron. The agent of
the railroad few days ago served subp1-
macs upon settlers to appear in the United
States circuit court in Los An
geles on April 4 next to answer to
. bill Of complaint by the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company. The agent
employed in serving these subpenaes had
119 of them. The document was dated
March 8. II is believed that the
railroad company. having completed its
extension along the west side to
Huron, intends to lay claim to the alter
nate sections for ten miles on each side Of
the track, in accordance with
the law of Congress govern
ing such masters, and that certain
lands as far back as the twenty-mile limit
will be claimed by the railroad as lieu
lands in place of such pieces as
may have been disposed of al
ready by the government. The country
is occupied by farmers. most of them very
poor and many Of them cannot afford the
expense of going to Los Angeles every
time the case is called in court.

In the House.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 1.-The attend
ance of the members in the House was
again meager today, and this fact
was emphasized by Baily of Texas.
who, without antagonizing any special
measure, made the point of no quorum
present, and several bills called up had to
be withdrawn in order to clear the track
for the regular business of the House.
Catchings of Mississippi, for the commit
tee on rules, reported back on the
resolution for the appointment of a
special committee of seven members to in
vestigate the charges made against the
superintendent of the census bureau.
Cstchings demanded the previous ques-
ton, whereupon Miller of Wiscon-
sin assumed the role of Ill
ibuster. After considerable time being
lost thus, an amendment was agreed to to
put the inquiry in the charge of the COM
mittee on census. 1t was then
moved that the House go into CON-
mittee of the whole. and this was lost.
McMillin, in response to an inquiry from
Burrows, said it was his inten-
ton to ask the House to close
the general tariff debate tomorrow at 8
o'clock. Enloe's motion was rejected and
the third party essayed the part of OBJ
structors. Simpson of Kansas was the
leader and his supporters, Wilson, Baker
and Miller.
The House went into committee of
the whole on the free wool bill. Cox of
Tennessee spoke in favor of the bill and in
general denunciation OF the protective
system. McRae of Kansas described the
condition Of business arising from the
protective tariff
Watson OF Georgia expressed the .enti-
ment of the third party on the tariff oues-
ton.
Dalzell of Pennsylvania criticised the
Democratic policy, and answered attacks
on the Mckinley act. At the suggestion
of McMillin it was ordered that general
debate on free wool close tomorrow. A
recess was taken till 5 O'Clock.

Tn. Bushes. Outlook Improving.

New York, April 1.-R. 6. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade will say: The
business outlook is improving. There
seems distinct increase in the marketing
of manufactured products and the great
est activity in domestic trade. This
is due to more favorable weather in most
sections, the improved condition of the
country roads and a prospect of early
spring. Manufacturers are selling well.
Probably the cotton manufacturers turned
out greater quantity of goods than
at any other time this year. Distrlbu-
tons have been remarkably large and the
result in trade is generally satisfactory, as
prices of material have been de-
Ginning while goods, though on the
whole as cheap as at any other
time, are faifly maintained in prices.
Wooden manufacturers also show distinct
Improvements in some branches, though
not in carpets or in goods for mems wear.
Worsteds and dress goods are more largely
used than in the past year and no accumu-
lations are seen.

to the state from which construction e1-
tends. Yet only 100 of the 500 miles of the
Great Northern remaining to be built are
in Montana and 800 IN Washington.
The Railway Age's table does not really
give correct idea of the probable con-
struction this year, as an ANALYSIS will
show. The construction of the Drayton

very doubtful, so is that of the Ellensburg
