WASHINGTON, Feb. 25--The net re-
suit of the Democratic caucus tonight
called by Harter and other anti silver
men seems to be the silver question is
about where it was before the caucus.
Free silver men were evidently in the ma
jority but the minority were unwilling to
be bound by the caucus action. A reso-
ants declared in favor of the continued
use of gold and silver as money and I'M
alterable opposition to auv legislation
which drive either metal out OF general
circulation. Further, that in Justice TO
the Democratic party and with due con-
sideration for the general business Indus
trial and financial interests of the nation.
1t Ia deemed the duty of the Democratic
members to offer definite action on the
subject of free coinage until the question
of its wisdom and Justice is distinctly
made in the elections of 1892 Although
the Democratic senators were invited to
attend the conference, Butler of South
Carolina was the only one who came. The
proceedings opened with a speech by
Harter in &C ,ordance with the pro-
gramme. The free silver men then put

they would agree to be bound by the
caucus proceedings.
Alter some discussion 1t was agreed the
conterees should be free to vote as they
chose.
Bland offered a resolution i%nstructiug
the committee on rules to bring it in as
special business. fixing March 25 as the
date.
Warner of New York raised a point of
order but was overruled.
Bland, BRYAN. Fowler and Hooker
spoke in favor OF the resolution and
Williams of Massachusetts opposed it, pre-
dieting disaster for the Democrats In the
East.
Fowler of New York, opposing the
resolution. said the assertion that New
Jersey could not be carried on a free silver
platform was untrue-New Jersey was a
Democratic state regardless of the silver
question.
Herbert OF Alabama urged a DELAY and
thought the interests of the party could
pest De served by not passing now.
Pierce of Tennessee maintained that
tree coinage was strong with the people
and would gain the party votes West
Virginia, North Carolina and Virginia
we're close states in which the party would
stand a chance of losing the presidential
election if the peoples demand for free
coinage was not met.
Wilcox of Connecticut, Lynch of Wis
cousin. English OF New Jersey aud Nc
Kinney of New Hampshire spoke against
the bill and the resolution. The debate
grew tiresome and Oates of Alabama said
he had assurances that the committee on
rules would, if the bill and resolution
were not adopted. bring in a rule making
the Bland bill a special order. He saw
nc advantage in a row among the Demo-
Gratis.
The caucus finally adjourned, and this
leaves the matter with the rules commit
tee to decide whether or not the special
order shall be brought in.

Tied Her Little Daughters
Hands, Then Hanged Her.
She Melted Out Brutal Treat
ment to the Others.
Is Convicted of Manslaughter
IN Open Court.
Her Cruelty Surpasses That of
Ancient Barbarism.

BELFAST. Feb. 25.-The hearing of
Mrs. Montague. charged with being re-
sponsible for the death of her 3-year-old
daughter. began today. Great excite
ment prevailed and C~oleraiue and extra
constables were summoned to preserve
order. Miss Dozell. the governess. testi-
fed that for some misbebavior she placed
the child in a lark room and afterwards
informed Mrs. Montague. The latter
went to the room and tied the girls hands
behind her with a stocking. then tied her
up with a cord to a ring in the wall. At
the expiration of four hours, when Mrs.
the child, she found the stocking In an
~unaccountable manner had slipped up
around the neck and the child had
strangled. After the hearing of further
evidence Mrs. Montague was found guilty
of m~anslaughter. She was held in f700
bail to await trial on that charge.
The bearing of the second count, charg-
ing cruelty to the children was proceeded
with. Miss Wallace. the former govern
ess, testified that Walter Montagu, a 4
year old son of the defendant, on one oc-
casion was tied to a tree all day. At
other tunes she heard Mrs. Moutagu
beat him badly.
Mrs. James. a former nurse. testified
that she had seed 5-year-old Gilbert
Montagu with marks of cord around his
elbows and pieces out OF his toes. He
and the other children we're frequently
locked in a dark room. Mrs. Montague
told her that this was her way of punish
ment,
She did it to save the childrens' souls;
she did not mind their bodies. Mrs.
James deposed she once saw the accused
dragging Austin, another boy, along the
corridor by the feet. his head trailing on
the floor. A housemaid named Campbell,
deposed that she saw Gilbert Montague
stripped naked and beaten with a scourge
until his whole body was lscerated; then
thrust into a dark closet, where he lay
moaning all night. Mrs. Montague was
committed to trial on this charge also.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The house
political dissention for five hours today.
and partisan feeling reached a fever heat
when Representative Jayson Brown of
Indiana denounced Quay. Wanamaker
and Dudley for their efforts in carrying
the election of 1888 for the present occu-
pant of the white house. The Craig
Stewart election contest case was under
discussion and the debate soon took a po-
htical range. The majority of the com.
mittee find in favor of the contestant
Craig (Democrat). Brown led the debate
in favor OF Craig aud turned his attention
to an indictment of Republican politicians.
He dwelt at length on blocks of five,"
contributions of money from the good
and bad of the Republican party his re-
marks being frequently punctuated with
great applause and laughter on the Demo
cratic side.
Brown arraigned Judge Woods for the
violation of his oath of high office in in
terposing to save prominent Republicans
from Indictment and degradation. Yet"
concluded Brown, the president of the
United States. whose election resulted
from this criminal scheme. has now in
vited Judge Woods to step higher up
into the temple OF judicial glory even
if his presence there diminishes his title
of Justice"
Johnson of Indiana, the leading
speaker for the contestee said he would
not descend to a petty discussion, although
the temptation was very inviting. Dudley
always denied the charge which had been
repeated today. but certain persons seemed
to think it only necessary to reiterate the
charge to make it true.
The warfare made upon Judge Woods
was not for reasons alleged, but because
he was instrumental in convicting and
sending to the penitentiary a noted ballot
box stuffer of Indianapolis-Sim Coy.
[Applause on the Republican side. The
gentleman who had been the most active
in pressing the charges against Judge
Woods in the United States senate has,
when at home, privately admitted he re-

posing his confirmation.

While conceit may produce a mega
lively agreeable effect it cannot be called
a positive charm. We do not think s
person more charming because of his
conceit, and we do not encourage it in
those who are dear to US. A parent re.
presses rather than stimulates it in his
child, and a person who should plainly
and laboriously cultivate it would not
be in peril of canonization. 1t is doubt.
full if conceit ever accompanies real
greatness. A great man, indeed, may
have the self confidence that springs
from the consciousness of power; but
consciousness of power is very different
from conceit of it. The one is a fact,
the other a fancy.-George William
Curtis in Harper's.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
Senate.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25-Vest addressed
the senate in reply to Hale's speech on
the reciprocity. He agreed the discus.
sion of the question would become the
leading issue in the approaching national
canvass. The Democratic party had been
represented by Hale as being opposed to
the policy of reciprocity. Vest denied
the assertion and declared that the Demo
cratic party only opposed sham recipIo-
city. The arrangement with Brazil did
not benefit the American farmer. No act
of congress could change the memorable
law of supply and demand which pre-
vented an agricultural people from pur-
chasing agricultural products.
The market for American agricultural
products was in Great Britain. not in
South America. Why stop with South
America and sugar. Why exclude
shoddy and clothing? Genuine r%ecipro-
city was free trade. Hale said what
the Democratic party wanted and be-
lleved in was simon pure free trade.
Hale read a newspaper paragraph show
ing the increased imports into Cuba OF
American -four since the reciprocity
rranRement went iDDO eHect, anu eaiu

that market. Reciprocity. said Hale, has

The increase in the importation OF

Democratic party was right and that
