The Terms In Which Senator Stewart
Speaks OF Harrison's Plan.
WARRINGTON, April 28.-"For the sake o1
a few New England mugwumps We arc
likely to lose number OF democratic
states" declared Congressman Bland TO q
New York correspondent. Bland has ap-
parently abandoned all hope Of silver legis-
latlon at the present session Of congress
He does not admit this in 10 many words,
but does not talk hopefully Of getting his
bill up again in the house and he knows
there is little chance that fate will take ths
initiative on the bill.
Bland WAS asked what states the demo-
Gratis were likely to lose this fall because Of
their failure to pass the silver bill. He
named North Carolina. South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Ar
kansas.
What do you think Of the proposition
for monetary confsrence?' was asked.
scornful sniff, and said: ";lhat does not
fool anybody. There will be no monetary
conference. The president does not want
monetary conferences; England docs not
want monetary conferences; nor New
England nor do the bankers of Wall street
They are all in the pool. This is merely 1
political trick on the part Of the president
He simply wants to tide over the situation
until the next election. He has no expec-
tation that there will bs monetary confer
snce; nor hays T.
Bland said the committee on rules might
bring in an order calling up the silver Bill.
keeping it before ths house until il was dis
posed Of; but whom asked if he thought they
would do it, hs replied he could not tell
what they would do.
These views Of Bland seem to be shared
by Pugh (Ala.). an ardent silver man, and
strong opponent to the nomination Of
Cleveland He agrees with Bland in think
ing thar number of southern states are
doubtful with anti-free coinage candidates.
He gees further and insists that North
Carolina and South Carolina will be car
ried by the republicans at the autumn cleo
ton if the democrats renominate Cleveland
or any candidate with decided anti silver
views.
'Humbug." was tho ejaculation of gena-
tor Stewart, of Nevada, when asked what
he thought of the presidents plan for an
international silver conference. "The
president talks about the enlarged use Of
silver" said the senator. There can be
no enlarged use Of silver except to use it
for money. He is talking nonsense. I in
tend to make speech about it at the hrst
opportunity"

A BAzoo representative took the

twenty inches or it may be said that

room to get it. She opened the drawer
but instead of taking out the note she
took out a 3S-calibre revolver and
opened fire on him. Two shots were
fired, one taking effect in the shoulder
and the other in the hip. Neither
wound is considered serious.
This is not Shoots frs. lucky escape.

with Bob Muir, and the latter shot
him square in the breast. The ball
passed through Shoots clothes, just
over his heart, but struck silk hand
kerchief and did not penetrate the
body. Mrs. Orr has been arrested and
will have hearing tomorrow.
