THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
THE SILVER BILL TO COME UP IN
TIE HOUSE.

Its Advocates Trying to Secure an
Agreement That There Shall Be No
Filibustering to Prevent Vote-The
Russian Rxtrsdition Treaty to Como
Up in Executive Session Of tho Sem
ate.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-The proceed
ings in the House during the coming week
will be more than usually interesting, as it
has made the Bland silver bill the special
order for three days, beginning Tuesday.
Ordinarily tomorrow would be devoted
to the passage of measures under a suspen-
sion Of the rules. but it is probable that the
army appropriation bill will be called up
and that its consideration will consume the
whole day.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are set
apart for the consideration OF the Bland sill
yer bill. A greet many members desire to
speak on the silver question and an effort has
been made to reach an agreement between
the friends and opponents of free coinage to
provide that the debate and consideration
OF the bill by paragraphs shall run the
whole Of the week.
WON'T AGREE TO FILIBUSTER.
No understanding has yet been reached.
however, as the silver men want the agree
ment to include stipulation that a vote
shall be taken at the end OF the week with
out indulgence in flibustering tactics but
the anti~tree coinage democrats are not, as
body, willing to bind themselves in this
particular. Some OF the opponents of the
bill discourage fllibustering, but others
believe they should use every
proper means within their reach to defeat
it. Unless the silver question runs through
the week, Friday and the first two hours Of
Saturday will be given up either to bills
relating to private claims or to the naval
appropriation bill. Under special order
Of the House. Saturday afternoon beginning
at o'clock has been set apart for the deliv-
cry OF eulogies on the late Representative
Francis G. Spinola of New York.

In the Senate.

Nearly ell Of the time Of the Senate dur
ing the open ses sions this week is already
practically allotted. The Indian appropr la
ton bill is to be taken up tomorrow. The
West Virginia direct tax bill
is the special order for Tues
day, and the Senate has resolved that
Immediately after this bill Is disposed Of
it will consider two bills of much public
interest, namely, the Mississippi river and
Columbia improvement bills. involving an
aggregate appropriation OF $4,000, 900 to
be expended in the Improvement of those
great waterways.
The bill for the relief of settlers on the
public lands is also within easy reach.
On Thursday legislative business will be
suspended for several hours while the Sem
ate listens to eulogies upon the late Sem
ator Hearst of California.
BERING SEA Arbitration.
The most interesting proceedings Of the
Senate, however, are expected to occur in
executive session, as was the case last
week. The Bering sea arbitration is pend>
ing, ald action upon it will doubtless
be taken as soon as posi-
bic after the reception of Lord
Salisbury's response to Mr.. Wharton's
last note. But blocking the way of the
Bering sea treaty is another matter over
which the Senate has been much egitated
during the last few davs-namely, the Rus
sian extradltion treaty. This precedes tie
BerinR sea treaty on the calendar of execu-
tive business and promises to give rise to
much discussion in addition to what has
already taken place.
TRYING TO EXEMPT REGICIDES.
1t appears that strong opposition has de-
veloped to that clause of the treaty which
relates to the extradition of persons charged
with capital offenses. 1t is un.
derstood TO be substantially similar
to other treaties in that respect,
but in view of the peculiar political coDdi-
tions existing in Russia, an effort has been
made to secure an amendment Of the clause
the effect of which would be to except from
extradition persons committing even muir
der for polite Il reasons, which is construed
to exempt from extradition nihilists az
tempting regicide. 1t mas bsen stated that if
SO amended the treaty will be obnoxious to
the Russian government, and incidentally
strong arguments were made TO show that
it should be ratified as it stands, if not from
spirit of comity. at least from interna
tional considerations
RUsSIA's FRIENDSHIP WANTED.
It was urged that it would be foolhardy
for the United States to impair the strength
OF the ties Of friendship and interest which
now bind together the United States and
Russia and thus lose the moral aud per-
haps physical support of one of
the first military powers in the
world er a time when diplomatic
complications exist In the relations of the
United States and Great Britain which
might in certain contingencies result in
actual war. These views have already been
expounded at length in the Senate, but
there will doubtless be further discussion of
the subject during the week.

CONDUCTOR coBURN SHOT.

A Bullet Sent Through His Arm by q
Negro.
COLUMBIA, s. c., March 20.-When the
South Bound train from Savannah, which
arrived here at O'Clock tonight, stopped
at Giffords Station Conductor Coburn
found it necessary to inform one of the
passengers, negro woman, that he would
have to put her off the train, as she had no
ticket or money. A burly negro man, who
accompanied her. thereupon became very
boisterous. and the conductor put him off
on the platform. In the struggle the negro
pulled long Colts navy pistol from his
pocket and fired, the bullet passing
through the conductors left arm
near the elbow, producing a
very ugly wound. Conductor Coburn
Nevertheless wrenched the pistol from the
negros ha d went TO the baggage car, got
his own pistol and returnihg to the plat
form fired two shots at the ruffian,
neither OF which, however, took
effect The negro then escaped
in the darkness. Conductor Coburn, who
is seriously hurt, was left at Fairfax and
the train was brought through to Colum-
bia by one of the trainmen.

UNCLE SANS LARoRERs.
Political Influence to Cut no Figure in
Their employment.


WASHINGTON. March 0.-Representative
Andrews OF Boston has completed report
upon bis bill to exclude political influence
10 the emploYinent OF laborers, under au-
thority cf the United States, and will SUBJ
nit is to shs Eouse tomorrow. The bill.
according to reports he has received, will
affect some 81 .0J0 employees, and will require
that hsnceforSh they shall be appointed or
employed without regard TO political con-
siderattons. De says the bill reported pro-
poses wide extension of the nom
partisan system by much
simpler method and at much less cost than
the exteusions which have already been
made. 1t is not proposed to require compe-
titive examinations of laborers nor subject
them 90 any scholastic test. The framing
OF the rules by which they are to be ap-
pointed or employed is left to the wise dis
cretion OF the civil service commission, but
It is intended that these rules shall simply
provide for proper evidence of the physical
htness and good character of appli-
cants. All that Is to be required
beyond this is registration Of applicants in
the order or their applications, and this will
require. under proper system of rules, no
more labor on the part Of the officers in
charge OF public works and in the various
departments than is now required to fi lie the
applications or make out lists of employees.
The labor imposed upon the appointing
officers ought to be even less than a. pres
ent when the new system comes to be
thoroughly understood, because such Off
GERS will be relieved from the pressure of
outside parties and will have nothing to do
but make appointments in the order Of ap-
plications.
1t is left by the bill within
the discretion OF the civil service
commission, with the approval of the
President, to provide tests for technical
skill where it is required. but these tests
may be as simple and as practicable as they
would be under any conscientious aud intel
ligent appointing officer. The commission
is also authorized t0 permit employment
without any system of registration, and at
the discretion Of the employing officers
where the exigencies of the service seem to
require it. A statement showing the num-
Der which will probably be affected by the
proposed bill gives 1868 in the
treasury department., 10,127 in
the war department, 6,l25 in
the navy department, a total, includ-
ing the other departments, of 81, ,lSS. Mr..
Andrews states that the methods proposed
OF excluding political influence from the
employment of laborers is not an untried
experiment, and he quotes the system in
augurated by Secretary Tracy in the navy
yards and In force In the cities of MassRchu-
setts for the past seven years In proof Of
this statement.

SAFETY CAR CouPLERs.
The Bill Before Congress to Compe
Their Adoption.

The Bill Before Congress to Compel
Their Adoption.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-A uniform
style of safety coupler will be agreed upon
by the railroads for use on freight cars be-
fore Dec. of the present year il the House
committee on commerce carry out their
present intention. The committee have be-
fore them several bills referring to this
matter Of protecting the lives Of trainmen by
proper couplers and intend soon to make q
report. The time allowed for the railroads
to determine upon form of coupler in the
bill presented to the committee by George
6. Crocker of Boston, on behalf of a COM
mittee of the railroad commissioners of
the various states, gave the railoads until
July l, 1898, to reach decision and make
it known to the interstate commerce COM
mission. The bill provided further that if
roads representing 60 per cent of the num-
Der Of freight cars in use agreed upon any
one form Of coupler 1t was to be adopted;
that after the expiration of six months no
new car was TO be put in use without the
new couplers, and that old cars must be
fitted with them when sent to the shops for
general repairs. The members of
the House committee. who are
most interested in the matter, believe that if
the railroads can reach an agreement in
fifteen months they can do it just as easily
In half that time. IL the railroads are un-
able to agree by Dec. /, 1892, it is proposed
to let the interstate commerce commission
select a coupler. Such a selection
will not necessarily mean that a single form
Of coupler will be forced upon each
road, but only that the forms adopted shall
work automatically together, and that they
shall meet the requirements as to safety. A
new feature which it is proposed to incor-
porate in the proposed bill Is a provision
regulating the hight of cars. The members
of the committee believe that this would
add to the security OF the train and be of
benefit to shippers.

NEW ORLEASs, March ga special 10
the Times Democrat from Austin, Tex.
says: 1.-THE caucus OF the friends Of Senator
Chiffon. at which the senator was present last
night, did not decide as to the withdrawing
of his name from the senatorial race While
some original Chiffon men thought that
they would not be required to go on record
for him since he was evidently largely
in the majority, his more sanguine friends
are not without hope and claim at least
fifty votes assured for him, aud some hope
even yet of converts before Tuesday. Chair
man Finley, Of the state executive commit
tee, represents that Mr.. Chilto is averse
TO being withdrawn under the ciroum-
stances. Further action of the caucus was
postponed until Monday.
MILLS FRIENDS MEET.

Representative Mills also held a caucus as
to the method of securing his election. 1t
is understood that Senator Tyler will make
the nominating speech for Representative
Mills on the part of the Senate. Some
Mills men express a suspicion that il Gov.
Hogg should conclude that Judge Clark is
too strong against him for governor, and
that he cannot foros the election of Senator
Chiffon as his protege. ne will not hesitate
to undertake to have himself landed
in the Senate, il for no other purpose than
to defeat Representative Mills. This is on
the assumption that majority OF the legs-
