In the Senate the bill reported by the
Joint Committee on Printing, proposing an
extensive revision of the present system of
printing ard distributing public documents,
is the special order for tomorrow In view
of the fact that the bill was killed in the
House during the past week, the Senate
will probably set aside the special order
and take up the well known We'll and La
Ahra claims, which were under considera-
lion when the Senate last adjourned. 1t is
the purpose of the friends of these claims to
keep them steadily before the Senate until
a vote is reached upon the bill of which
they are the subject matter. The printing
bill, ii is thought, will be taken up later in
the week, and some time may be devoted to
public buildings and other measures of
local character, and to the consideration OF
Presidential nominations in executive ses-
sion.
Coming Scrap Over the New Rules.
The newly reported code of rules for the
louse of Representatives during the Fifty
ecnnd Congress will be the principal topic
discussion in the House during the week,
"less debate on the Chilean controversy
ould be unexpectedly precipitated.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Francis Ncwlnnd on the International

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. S.-Franois
G. Ncwland to-day addressed the house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures on the international monetary
conference phase OF the silver question,
opposing the proposition. Tlc reviewed
the history OF the silver question, and
then went on to show why the United
States should adopt free silver coinage
now and why nothing could be expected
OF Europe.
Gold was being diminished every day
by the demands OF arts and dentistry
and it was held that the store OF gold
coin was being invaded to meet these
demands. We were q wealthy nation
in everything except money. We util-
lied all the money We could borrow,
and owed to Europe in national, state,
municipal and railway debts more than
the entire volume of money existing in
this country. ..rl

BURGLARY LAST NIGHT.
Thieves Entor. John Aubor's House, on

Some timo last night burglars broke
into tho residence OF John Aubor, on
Market street, south OF tho Centre
Market square, and got away with con-
siderable stuff. Auber is employed at
tho Whitaker mill, and when ho got up
TO 90 to work this morning ho discov-
cred tho presence OF tho men. They
were masked. .5.f
They ran out at once. A telephone
alarm was sent to police headquarters,
and all tho officers who could be COM
municatod with wcro sent to tho spot
to work on tho case. g
Tho burglary was n very daring ono,
and chance alono led TO its discovery
before daylight 1t was reported to the
police abont 2:30 4. III.
Mrs. Auber was asleep with her two
little boys in room. Sho nwoke and
saw that tho light was turned on bright
ly and man was in tho room. Sho
called out:
"Johnny, is that your"
Tho man turned, and producing apis,

Tho man had q child's money bank.
He then went to the bureau and took
up box containing u gold watch and
chain and somo jowolry.
Just then another man camc to tho
door and looked in. This man, Mrs.
Aubor thinks, had q mask on, though
sheis not sure.
Tho man in the room said: III
go back, Jack! Go back!' ,
Then both went down stairs and out
the door they had come in, locking tho
door after tham. This was side door,
just outside of which the key always
hangs. They had found tho key and
let themselves in.
In another room tho men had
searched several drawers. They took
$45 in bills, but left certificates of de-
posit for several hundred dollars. In
all they got about $40 in cash and jew
elry, including tho watch, worth about
5000.
Tho manner Of operating looks as if
the men knew something about tho
habits OF tho household. They wcre so
bold that there can be no doubt that they
knew Mr.. Auber was generally away
at night, and their discovery OF the key
also looks as if they, were not cntiro
strangers in the neighborhood. #
So far there Is no clue to tho identity
OF the burglars.
