CAUCUS ON SILVER
The Democrats of the House
Come to No Conclusion.
THE ANTI'S IN THE MINORITY
They Refused to be Bossed by the Caucus Ac
homeland Says There Must be
No Step Backwards.

WASHINGTON, Feb. as.-The net result
OF the Democratic caucus tonight called
by Hsrter and other anti-silyer men seems
TO be, the silver question is about where 1t
was before the caucus. The free silver
men were evidently in the majority, but
the minority was unwilling to be bound
by the aancus' action. a resolution sub
mitted to the caucus by the anti's de-
clared in favor of the continued use of
gold and silver as money and unalterable
opposition to any legislation which will
drive either metal out of general circula-
tisn. Further, that in justice TO the Demo
party and with due consideration
fer the general business industrial
and financial interests Of the nation
1T is deemed the duty OF Democratic mem
bers to defer definite action on the subject
! OF free coinage until the question of its
wisdom and justice is distinctly made in the
/ elections of 1922
! Although the Democratic Senators were
invited to attend the conference, Butler, of
| South Carolina, was the only one who
came. The proceedings were opened with
g speech by Harter. in accordance with
| the programme the free silver men then
| put the question to the ants whether
or not they would agree to be bound by the
caucus proceedings. After some discussion
it was agreed the conferees should be free
to vote as they choose.
Bland offered resolution instructing the
committee on rules to bring in a special
order fixing March 25 as the date the silver
bill should be taken up.
Warner. Of New York, raised the point
of order, but was overrule6. Bland,
Bryan. Fowler and Hooker spoke on the
resolution. Williams, of Massachusetts,
opposed it, predicting disaster to the
Democrats in the east.
Fowler, of New Jersey, in advocating
the resolution, said the assertion that New
Jersey could not be carried on free silver
platform was unture. New Jersey was
Democratic state, regardless of the silver
question.
Herbert, of Alabama, urged delay anG
thought the interests of the party should
be served by not passing the bill now.
Pierce, of Tennessee, maintained free
coinage was strong with the people an(
would gain the party votes. West Vir
ginia, North Carolina and Virginia were
close states in which the party stands
chance of losing the presidential election i
l the peoples demand for free coinage is no
met.
Wilcox, OF Connecticut; Lynch, of Wis
consin; English, of New Jersey; and Nc
Kinney, OF New Hampshire, spoke agains
, the bill and resolution.
! Debate grew tiresome, and Oates. o
Alabama, said he had assurances the com
mittee on rules would, if the Bland reso
luton were not adopted, bring in a rul
making the Bland bill special order. H
: saw no advantage in row among Demo
! orats The caucus finally adjourned, an
this leaves the matter with the rules com
i mittee to decide whether or not specie
order shall be brought in

of Spokane, Washington, reached Chicago
last night with city of Spokane bonds to the

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Speaker Crisp
was present and called the House to order
this morning. The contested election case
of Craig VS.. Stewary, from the Pennsyl-
vania district, was called up.
The House of Representatives was in
the throes of political djssension for five
hours to-day, and partisan feeling reached
fever heat when Representative Jason
Brown, OF Indiana, denounced Quay, Wan
amaker and Dudley for their efforts in car
rying the election of 1888 for the present
occupant of the White House The Craig
Stewart contested election case was under
discussion and the debate soon took po-
litical range. The majority of the commit
tee find in favor OF the contestant Craig
(Democratic). Brown led the debate in
favor of Craig, and soon turned his atten-
ton to indict the Republican politicians
He dWelt at length upon "blocks of fve,n
and contributors of money from
the good and bad of the Republican party
his remarks being frequently punctuated
with great applause and laughter on the
Democratic side.
Brown arraigned Judge Woods for viola
ton of the oath of his high Office in inter
posing to save prominent Republicans from

cluded Brown, 1.-THE President of the

from this criminal scheme, has now invited

temple of judicial glory, even if his pres
ence there dlminishes its splendor and
casts the mantle of shame on its honor
| Prolonged applause on the Democratic
sldel.
Johnston, of Indiana leading speaker fol-
the contestee, said he would not descend tt
petty discussion, although the temptanor
was very inviting. Dudley always denieC
the charge which had been repeated to-day
but certain persons seemed to think it only
necessary to reiterate the charge to make
true The warfare made upon Judg

but because he was instrumental in con
