SILVER IN THE SENATE.
An Obscure Bill Causes an Expression of
Opinion.

WASHINGTON, April 20-In the Senate
today, when a bill to amend the act of
June 25, 1890, approving the funding act
of Arizona, was read, one sentence at
tracted the attention of Mr.. Stewart. 1t
was the provision that interest on the
bonds provided for in the Arizona fund
ing act would be payable in gold coin Of
the United States. Mr.. Stewart argued
that the passage of the bill as it came
from the House with interest on the
bonds payable in gold coin would be
seized upon by the ''gold press to show
that the people of Arizona were opposed
to the free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Kyle moved to strike out the words
lin gold coin of the United States'' and
insert in lied of them Gin lawful money
of the United States"
The vote on Mr.. Kyle's amendment re-
sulted-yeas, 81; nays, 16, no quorum
voting. The roll of Senators was called
and 81 Senators, more than quorum.
responded. A vote was again taken on
Mr.. Kyle's amendment and it was agreed
to-yeas, 2S; nays, "a. The Maine Sena-
tors voted in the negative.
Mr.. Carey, a member of the committee
on territories, explained his vote against
the amendment. He said he was OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver. He
did not believe in making contracts pay
able in gold. He did not believe in the
right of any territory or state, or the
United States, to make such contract.
The people of Arizona were burdened
with an Indebtedness upon which they
were paying $150,000 year in interest.
They wanted a bill passed making the
interest payable semi-annually instead of
annually, so they could dispose of bonds
and save $4,000 year interest.
Mr.. Teller said the provision to pay in
lawful money was provision to pay in
gold OF silver, at the option of the
debtor.
Mr. Daniels remarked that the gold
clause of the bill was just one of the
little entering wedges by which Congress
was invited to revolutionize the solemn
policy it had declared to be the fixed
policy of the government little over a
year ago, to keep the constitutional me-
tallic currency at par.
After further discussion, the bill as
amended was passed without division. A
conference was asked and Messrs. Platt.
Jones of Arkansas and Faulkner were
appointed conferees.

FROM THE SPINDLE CITY.
1t Was Only Pig-Lewiston's Industrious
Fire Bug-How the Militia VIII Keep
Fast Day.
. Especial to the Press.J

LEWISTON, April 19.-Private indivi-
duals have made examinations in the
affair of the supposed finding of the de-
composed body of an infant in New Au-
burn and have come to the conclusion
that the remains found were those of a
young pig that escaped some time ago
from it's pen and after being wounded by
dogs might have crawled into the place
where the remains were found. This
clears away the mystery finely, but it
was thought for some time by the New
Auburn peple that a murder OF some
dreadful thing had occurred.
And now the Spindle City begins to be
worried about fire bug. Last Satur-
day afternoon the field on upper Main
street was set on fire by some mis-
creants. 1t endangered the surrounding
buildings. Saturday evening two at
tempts were made to set fire to buildings
in different parts of the city.
The fire bug was seen in the
attempt aud the alarm given in
both cases. Sunday fire broke out in
the Franklin pasture and large area of
grass was burned over before it was ex-
tinguished. Sunday night, = says Maple

near the clothes reel in my back yard
and watched him. He took bottle from
his pocket and saturated a cloth with it.
Then he threw it down near the reel and
felt in his pockets. He lit match and
was going to light the cloth when I
opened the window and called to him.
The woman says that the man ran away
then and when she found the cloth the
next morning it smelt strongly of kero-
sene. These things make Lewiston peo-
pie feel nervous A story is afloat on the
street today about an attempt to set fire
to stable on Main street in the same
way that the attempt was made
on the old electric light station on Bates
street, Saturday night.
Wednesday evening will see not a
member scarcely of the militia in Lewis
ton. The Nealey Rifles have ball at
Lisbon Falls, and the Frye Light Guards
have one at Norway. Major Goss will
attend the ball at Lisbon Falls, as also
will the Maine Ambulance Corps and
many of The batterymen. Other men,
bers of the battery will go to Norway
with Capt. Moriarty among chem. Capt.
Hanscome has invited many high officers
TO the ball of the Fryes. The Skowhe-
gan Light Infantry have a ball and drill
Fast evening and some of the Lewiston
militia officers will go up there. Lieut..
Col. Hoyt and Capt. Warren E. Kicker,
accompanied by Col. George Philbrook
will go to Skowhegan Wednes-
day forenoon, Governor Burleigh and
wife are going to be the guests of Gen.
Sheppard of Skowhegan. They are ex-
pected to be present at the ball. Col.
Harrington is to present the Skowhegan
Light Infantry with the craftsmanship
badges that they won at the last muster.
Capt. Warren E. Kicker of the Ambu-
lance Corps says that the boys are just
crazy to shoot for the prizes. Some say
that the Ambulance Corps is non-com-
bative and thus should not be allowed to
shoot for the prizes. To this Capt. Kicker
says that it is the universal custom in
Massachusetts, and shows in the adiutant
generals report for 1890 where prizes
were won by them.
