The House Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Thr

throes of political discussion five
hours yesterday, and partisan fee
ing reached fel er heat when Repre-
sentative Jayson Brown, Of Ind f,
denounced Quay, Wanamaker and
Dudley for their efforts in carrying
the election Of 1883 for the preseni
occupant of the White House.

the debate in favor of Craig, anC
soon turned his attention to the in
dictmelt of Republican politicians.
He dwelt at length on "blocks OF
Ave contributions Of money from
good and bad of the Republican
party" Brown arraigned Judg'
Woods for violation Of the oath of his
high office in interposing to save
prominent Republicans from indict-
ment and degradation. "Yet," con
cluded Brown, "the president of the
United States, whose election re.
suited from this criminal scheme,
has invited Judge Woods to step
higher up into the temple Of judicial
glory"
Johnson, Indiana, leading speaker
for the contestee, said the warfare
made upon Judge Woods was not
for the reason alleged, but because
he was instrumental in convicting

THE CAUCUS LAST NIGHT
no Result Reached That Changes
the Silver Situation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The net
r, suit Of the Democratic caucus last
night called by Harter and other
anti-silver men seems TO be that the
silver question is about where it
was before the caucus. Free silver
men are evidently in the ma
jorIty, but the minority is unwilling
To he bound by caucus action. The
resolution submitted to the caucus
by the ants declares in favor of the
continued use Of gold and silver as
money, and unalterable opposition
TO any legislation which drives
either metal out of general clrcula-
ticn. Further than in justice to the
Democratic party and with due con-
sideration for general business, in.
dustrial and financial interests of
tie nation, it is deemed the duty of
the Democratic members to defer
dc finite action on the subject of free
coinage until the question of Its
wisdom and justice is distinctly
made in the elrc tions of 1892.
Although the Democratic senators
were invited to attend the confer
ence, Butler, of South Carolina was
the only one who came. The pro-
ceediugs opened with "a speech by
Harter.
In accordance with the program
cf the free silver men, they put the
question 10 the antis whether or not
they would agree to be bound by the
caucds proceedings.
After some discussion, it was
agreed by the conference that Dem
ocrats be free to vote as they should
choose. Bland offered resolution
instructing the committee on rules
to bring in special order fixing
March 25th as the date for the silver
bill to be taken up.
After long discussion, the debate
grew tiresome, and Oates, of Ala
bama, said he had assurance that
the committee on rules would, If
the bill and resolution are not
adopted, bring In rule making the
Bland bill special order. He saw
no advantage in row among
Democrats.
The caucus finally adjourned, and
this leaves the matter with the
rules committee to decide whether
or not a special order shall be
brought in.

MARYsvILLE, Cal, Feb. GA
strange and very serious incident
occurred at the Peters farm, eight
miles south of this city Wednesday
afternoon, soon after the dinner
hour, while Mrs. John Peters was
alone at her home,
A man wearing a mask entered
the house and claimed to be an
acquaintance of Mrs. Peters before
her marriage. His demeanor
seemed as If he was bent on revenge
for some imaginary wrong, and he
insisted on taking the lady away
from her home. Mrs. Peters remon-
strated and slowly backed to place
where there was a loaded Winches-
ter rifle. The man then went out
side, and Mrs. Peters followed with
the rifle In her hands. When IN
the yard the man drew pistol and
fired at the lady, but fortunately
missed her. Mrs. Peters drew up
the rifle quickly, returning the shot,
AT the click of the gun he dropped
the revolver which he held In his
right hand, but picked 1t up with
his left and ran rapidly across the
held, Mrs. Peters said the
man claimed TO be stopping in the
ueighborhood and declared would
return some day aud have revenge.
Mr.. and MRS. Peters were married
last October, aud the lady was
formerly Miss Nellie =. MoMilton,
of Wheatland. The affair is a very
strange one, and while some believe
the story as 1t is related, Others
think possibly the lady was suffer.

CAMPAIGN STORY.
A Charge Against Wanamaker
Which Will not be Believed.

RICHMOND, Ind, Feb. 26.--The
story, which is said to have come from
Henry Willard, the railroad magnate,
to the fleet that Postmaster General
Wanamaker, just previous to the last
presidential election, approached
him with the proposition to place at
his disposal the commissionership Of
the general land Office for 100000,
to be used for campaign purposes,
has been brought to the attention
of William Dudley Foulke, civil SER
vice commissioner. Mr.. Foulke
makes this statement for publica-
tion:
~ did have conversation with
Mr.. Willard in regard to the soliciting
of campaign funds by Mr.. Wana-
maker. This conversation was at
the Arlington, in Washington, a few
days before the Inauguration of Mr..
Harrison. Mr.. Willard told Of a con-
versation which he had with Mr..
Wanamaker upon the subject, but l
do not feel willingly to give for pub
lication any of the details of that
conversation without Mr.. Wizards
consent. 1t was not stated that the
conversation was confidential, but at
the same time it was an interview
which l don't feel like repeating
for the purpose of publication"
When asked why, as it seemed
that Mr.. Willard had let the matter
out, he refrained from talking, he
expressed disbelief in the report
that Willard had talked, explaining
that he himself told certain man
in Chicago of the matter, and he
evidently had let the story leak out

sALToN LAKE.
Indications That it viii Become
Permanent.

SALToN, CAL, Feb. 26.-From
present indications the desert lake
here will be much larger than 1t last
year. At present the lake Is about
half mile wide, aud after running
along the Southern Pacific's track
for about two miles extends of right
TO the south. AT this time last year
there was not drop Of water visible,
although there was quantity u few
inches below the surface Of the sink.
It was not until several months
later that floods occurred in the Giln
and Colorado rivers, caused by melt
ting snow, aud only in August thai
water in Salton sink began to attract
attention. Shows in the mountains
at present are heavier than for years,
and coming as water will, when they
melt on land already In large parl
saturated, lake Of unexampled
extent will probably be created.
Old residents believe that about one
hundred miles of track of the South
ern Pacific which lie In desert
below the sea level will be over
flowed.

The accident occurred while Mrs
