y HERALD reporter met the gentleman

what" asked the reporter of the ex-
Congressman, do you think of the recent
action OF Congress On the silv. + question 90
''Oh! that action did not suprlse ne in
the least, nor did it anyone else who was at
all familiar with the tuation and the in
Vulnerable ways that obtain in Congress 20
5alk Legislation that is iuimical TO the sup
posed interest o. the money power. The
monOmetallists are dying hard but they
are surely losing ground. The silver issue is
vital one, ii is an issue of the people; one,
too, that they demand shall have disposition
ate consideration. Silver Will be remOne-
tized. l was never more confident of it
than am now. Action may De postponed
until after the presidential election, but all
the powers which now prevail cannot de-
lay the passage OF such measure longer
than the next Congress. Three years from
now, in my opinion, will see silver placed
on en equality with gold"

The New YORK Police Charged With Cor

New YORK, April 5-'There is at least
100000 collected annually from keepers

According to a morning pa err, Henry II.

Interview last evening.

DO you infer witnesses feared assassi-

perhaps I should not 80 so far rs TO say

they certainly did fear bodily harm. AT

such that no one can deny the danger one

Silver Senators WIN Debate Silver

WASHINGTON, April 5.-As stated by SEN
ator Teller yesterday in the course Of his
colloquy with Senator Sherman, the silver
Senators are determined to express their
views upon the subject of silver in open
Senate and there appears no way to stop
them. The resolution offered to-day by
MIR. Morgan as an amendment to the set of
resolutions which were yesterday placed
on the calendar, while not introduced by
Mr. Morgan with the intention of causing
further debate according to mis- own state
ment, may st Il serve fc- at least one dsy
as the basis for any speeches that the silver
men may desire TO make in the Senate. 1t
would simply be necessary to call up this
or any other resolution introduced to-day
and proceed to discuss it. MIR. Wolcott.
through Senator Teller, has given notice of
his intention to speak on the silver ques-
ton tomorrow. Heretofore in the history
of the Senate such notice has always been
regarded as an equivalent in effect TO an
actual order for the Senate and the body
has such respect for the precedent that il
would be with reluctance that any Senator
would interpose an objection if MIR. VOL
colt attempted to speak. The indications
are that the Senate will allow the silver
Senators TO express their views in the form
of speeches, but will Immediately negative
a notice to call upon any propositions on
the calendar thct would lead to a vote upon
the silver question or its merits.

Madrid Excited Over the Anarchist outrages.

MADRID, April 5.-The excitement made
by an attempt yesterday to blow up the
building In which the cortes meets, does
not aoate. On the contrary. as further
particulars of the attempted outrage are
learned, the public becomes more indig-
nant, and many threats are INDUCED in. II
is thought here that the Anarchists have
been allowed too much latitude in spread
ing the tenets OF their belief and hence
forth the government should treat them as
wild beasts, TO be destroyed on sight.
Three more Anarchists have been ar
eess'ed. The total number of the prisoners
is now thirteen.
