announces that England will accept the
invitation of the United States to take part

the silver question.

the treasury department today that no
official response had yet been received
from any of the foreign governments in
vited to join this government in a confer
ence on the silver question. The London
press statement chat England would send
delegates created quite a sensation. 1t is
said that similar assurances have also been
received from other governments. The
invitations were mailed two weeks ago,
and responses from the respective coun-
tries may be looked for in a short time.
NEW YORK, May 12-AssOciated press

the morning papers of that city all more
or less sharply criticise the acceptance of
the invitation to the silver conference.

RELIGIOUS DUPES.

Ell PAso, Tex, May 1.-THE Mexican
government has taken severe measures
against the village of Tomachice. in south
west Chihuaha, which has been in open
rebellion against the government for
several months The cause of the trouble
was the appearance in the village of an old
man, whom the village priest proclaimed
to be the true Christ. The people quit the
fields and fiocked to the supposed Christ.
The government sent troops to disperse
the crowds and to arrest the supposed
Christ. but the priest exhorted the people
to kill the soldiers and drive them away
which they did, killing a large number
and driving the rest back. AS soon as this
news reached the government large de-
tachment of troops was sent 10 the scene,
with orders to attack the place on all sides
and clean it out.

HOUSE,

WASHINGTON, May u-There were two
surprises in the house today. The first
was the striking from the sundry silver
bill of an appropriation of $780, 600 for the
purchase of a site and the commencement
of the erection of the new building for the
new mint at Philadelphia. The second
was the sudden springing in the house of
the silver question by Mr.. Bland, in the
shape of an amendment to the same bill
requiring the coinage and issue, and the
payment of appropriations Herewith, of
the silver bullion now in the treasury.
The amendment was ruled out; but Mr..
Bland said that he would renew the
amendment.
Under the call the following bills were
reported:
From the ways and means COMMITTEES:
The silyer-lead ore bill. Committee Of the
whole.
From the agriculture committee: To
encourage silk culture. Committee of the
whole.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill Mr.. Holman moved to strike
out the appropriation of $4,000 for the
purchase of a site and the commencement
of building for a new mint at Philadel-
phia The old mint, he thought, would
answer every purpose for the present.
Mr. Otis of Kansas favored striking out
the clause Why not build the mint out
westl According to the position taken by
the PENNSYLVANIA members on the silver
bill, they were not in favor of free silver.
The mint should be built where the people
were in favor of free silver There was no
need for this new mint at present We
had nothing to coin but gold, and that was
growing less every year.
Mr.. Bland OF Missouri agreed with Mr..
Otis that If new mint were to be built
il should be located in the west where the
bullion was produced. He moved to
amend the clause in the bill by providing
that all silver bullion now in the treasury,
the property of the government, shall be
coined into standard silver money, and the
seigniorage or gain arising therefrom con-
verIed into cash and paid out.
Mr.. Tracey made point of order against
the amendment, and Mr.. Cochran moved
10 further amend by suspending the
purchase of silver bullion.
The chairman of the committee of the
whole ruled out of order Mr. Bland's
amendment, and Mr.. Cochran Withdrew
his amendment.
Mr. Bland appealed from the decision of
the chair but subsequently withdrew his
appeal, stating that there was another
place in the bill where he would offer his
amendment
After further debate Mr.. Holman pre-.
sented letter which had been received
from person in Philadelphia, saying that
IA suitable site for the mint could be Sc
cured for one-third of what it was pro-
posed to pay for the site.
Mr.. Breckenridge commented rather
severely upon Mr.. Holman for having
kept the letter in his pocket until the
tai end of the debate. He should have
presented il TO the committee
Mr.. Holman said that he understood
that it was on the files of the committee
Pending further action, the committee
rose ana the house adjourned.

A DECISIVE BLOW FOR FREEDOM


From the tryannical yoke of those des-
potic allies, dyspepsia, constipation and
liver complaint, is struck when the
quandom victim of their CALLING su-
premacy has taken course of Hostetter's S
Stomach Bitters. Then they vamose de-
feated, and health resumes its welcome
sway. Such is the invariable experience
of those who use the ruling Alternative to
get rid of these associate evils. Anti-dys-
peptics, cholagogues, drastic cathartics are
as the sands of the sea, numberless and
useless. The happy blending of remedial
properties, derived from natures botanic

only initiate but effectuate the joint cure
of chrome indigestion, irregularity of the
bowels and perversion of the bile. The
