yer act OF 1890, and in the further course of
his argument remarked incidentally that

silver legislation would be the nomination
of Cleveland. At , o'clock unfinished
business was laid before the Senate. but
Morgan was allowed to go on. He re-
ferred to Cleveland as having come to the

that Sherman was responsible for the
demonetization of silver in 1873.
If" said Morgan, 1.-THE senators
could forget Cleveland and Hill
and the other good men aspiring to the
presidency of the United States and lock
hands on the silver question and say they
would do all that wisdom and devoted love
OF the country suggested, there would be
no more trouble about the silver question.
Sherman said that to ascertain If the
Senate wanted to enter on silver debate
he proposed to move to lay the resolutions
on the table. Allison asked if the resolu-
tions had not gone to the calendar at .
o'clock, and the vice president acquiesced.
Sherman then remarked that they could
not be taken up without motion.
Teller said the senator from Ohio might
as well meet the question now as at any
time, because the friends of silver were
bound to debate il. He remarked that
Sherman seemed anxious to stihe debate
This charge Sherman emphatically de-
MED. He went on to defend the act of
1890, and said it would, with proper
amendment, be made the fulcrum on
which rested the whole financial system
of the country. He argued against free
coinage, and, closing. said he was not only
willing to discuss the question, but de-
sired to have it discussed. The matter
then went over. Morgan's resolution was

FRESNO, Cal, April 4.-The confession
of John r. Griffith that he was implicated
in the Pix!ey train robbery is generally
discredited here. Griffith is of unsound
mind and has been confined in the insane
asylum four times. He was shipped on
whaler in the hope that sea voyage
would do him good, and il is thought that
he was either more than usually insane
when he made the confession, or was
