You've gone with canful of bait,

And with confidence seornful OF fate.

A Talk with the Senator.

man was asked, tonight. by correspond
ent at Mansaed. for his views on the silver
question. The Senator was averse to being
interviewed. saying that If all the mem
bers of Congress should express their opin-
ion it would lead to confusion. "The
present silver law with which my name is
connected" he said. was in the nature of
a compromise to prevent the enactment of
free coinage legislation, which was immi-
nent. and right here IS point where the
Inconsistency of some of the Demo-
cratic opponents of that law, then as now,
Is shown. for while opposing it. they fav-
ored a measure which provided for free
coinage of silver. The present law pro-
yides for the purchase of 4. 800. 900 ounces of
silver bullion ~ month, whereas the pro-
posed law provided for she purchase
of 4.500.0OO dollars worth. of silver
bullion per month. Now. We who voted
for the presentlaw, which Ia far better than
the one propOsed by the free-coinage men.
will vote for the repeal of the present
law. or certain portions OF It, The
only Objectionable feature in the law
IL the clause requiring silver purchase. and
that. | presume will be repealed. At all
events l shall vote for the repeal of that
clause myself"
Senator Sbermsn declined to suggest
what Congress should DO aside from repeal
ing the purchase CLAUSE of the law. That
was question for the Democrstlc OOn-
gress to decide. The Senator did not care
TO predict whet Their Congress would attempt
other legislation. and said 1t was too early
to decide whether the calling OF an extra
session would have reassuring effect.

THE sILvEE-PURCHA ACT.

Senator Sherman Says IL Was Passed to
Prevent Defer Free Coinage.
BALTIMORE, July 1.-Senator Sherman,
writing to q correspondent In this city.
says: "You are quite rlghtin your opinion
as to the object Of the silver act OF 1890. Its
chief purpose was to prevent. and at all
events to defer. free coinage of silver. A
bill for that purpose had passed the senate
by large majority. and would have passed
the House but for the compromise act of
1890. Another object was TO apply cnr-
rency to take the place of national-b ban k
bills. being then rapidly retired. A full

man was delivered by him. March l, of this
year. In it he states that he signed the
conference report most reluctantly and thar

pealed the then existing law which re-

his inside coat pocket and remained there.
His features seemed absolutely immov-
able. Perry remained standing but made
no attempt to quell the mob. Lieutenant
Smiss was utterly powerless to still the
tumult.
A mad rush had just begun in the direc-
ton OF Colonel Ainsworth when Warner
rose and begged for order. The sight of
him standing stopped the rush. This
outbreak of feeling must be suppressed, -
he said, ''not by the strong hand OF the
law but by the hand of fraternity
The crowd fell into Warmers way OF
thinking and cried ssYes, Yes.'' He saw
his advantage and made an appeal to let
the question OF allowing Colonel Aims
worth s remaining be settled by cool
heads.
When he took his seat, however, there
was more threatening murmurings and
DR.. Chaeffer quickly adjourned the IN
quest unJil 10 o. clock tomorrow morning
at the First precinct police station.
The department clerks stood about the
hall talking excitedly over the incident.
Colonel Ain5Worth sat in his chair Tor
minute and then walked out of the build
ing; entered carriage and was quickly
driven away amid angry expressions from
the crowd. When the hall was emptied,
the excited language of the clerks con-
tinued and finally old Butler Fitch
mounted tie entrance steps and proposed
an indignation meeting immediately.
Smith Thomson was elected chairman OF
the meeting, and the denunciations OF
Colonel Ainsworth and those who justi-
fed his course were INDUCED in. a COM
mittee was appointed to wait upon the
president and protest against the proposed
secret session at the police station, and
urge the suspension of Colonel Aims
worth pending the investigation.
Subsequently it was said the inquest
would be resumed tomorrow in the same
hall, but under better police arrange
ments. Judge Jere Wilson volunteered
his services to represent the clerks at the
| inquest tomorrow.
The court of inquiry ordered by Score.
tary Lamont TO investigate ali the facts
connected with the disaster and express
opinion as to who is responsible, met this
afternoon, but adjourned to meet at the
call OF the senior officer, for the reason
that Colonel Ainsworth cannot appear
before the court until the inquest now
being conducted is concluded.

CRUSHED BY A LOG.
A Terrible Accident Occurs to a
Citizen of Richfeld.
He Is Pinned Down by a Saw Log, Both
Legs Are Broken, and His Foot
Torn OF.

RICHFIELD, June 12.-[Special. De-
tails have reached this place of horrible
accident which occurred at the saw mill
of E. P. Bean in the east mountains,
while Joseph Riley and Samuel Udley
were saving huge sawlog with a hand
saw. They had sawed nearly through
the log when it suddenly slipped, throw
ing Riley into the bottom OF stream and
rolling on top of him, crushing the lower
part of his body in horrible manner.
His left leg was broken in three places
and his right Les in two places below the
knee, while the ankle on the right leg
was cut almost through, and the foot
hung by but one small tissue of muscle
and sinew.
The place of the accident is twenty
miles from Richfeld. which is the near
est town and is reached by narrow
horse trail. AS the high water has
spoiled the road it was impossible to re-
move the sufferer on account of there be-
ing no road, and medical assistance in
the person OF DR.. G. H. Herbert, was
procured from Richfield. DIR. Herbert,
though he says his patient is quite COM
Portable under the circumstances, can
hold out no hopes for the recovery of Mr..
Riley.
The home OF the injured man is in
Richfeld. where he has wife and two
children, aged about three and five years.
He was 26 years old. The accident
cannot be blamed on any one, as the
saving was done in careful manner,
and is one of those accidents that cannot
be accounted for.
The accident was such a terrible one
that 1T has attracted attention over the
whole country, and numbers have gone
up to give all possible assistance, and
everything necessary for the convenience
of the victim has been sent up to the
saMmill.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
A Wyoming Man Escapes From the
Officials.
Rossman, the Self Confessed Dynamiter

HELENA, Mon, June 12.-[Special. j
Governor Richards is informed that
John T. Wickham, arrested in Fergus
county for the murder of two cattle men
during the Wyoming rustler war, has
left for parts unknown. When Governor
Richards heard that deputy sheriff from
Wyoming meant to take Wickham back
through the rnstler country instead of
by rail, he asked Governor Osborne, of
Wyoming, to order the deputy to return
on the train
Governor Osborne replied, instructing
the deputy to take Wickham by rail to
Clairmont, where the sheriff of johnson
county would provide an escort to Buff
falo. Wickham had IN the meantime
been taken to Billings on habeas corpus,
and when Governor Osborne's orders
came he had vanished.

Bitterness and Intense Partisan
ship Shown in Germany.
FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY.
All Glasses OF People Are Very Much
Dissatisfied.
Each Expects Salvation From Some Polit-
ical Party Of Their Own-The EN-
peror Distressed at the Polit-
zeal Confusion.

BERLIN, June 12.-Germany is in the
midst of campaign, but one could not
tell it by the appearance OF the streets or
even Of the newspapers. Everything APP
pears peaceful but below the surface
there is excitement, bitter feeling and in
tense partisanship, such as not even the
days before the civil war developed in
America. More than twenty political
parties are striving for supremacy at
present, and all and every class of people
are dissatisfied, and they ali look Tor
salvation from some political party of
their own. 1t is impossible at present to
forecast the result of Thursdays election
except to say that two EXTREMIST parties,
Conservatives and Socialists, will gain
largely.
The emperor is much distressed at the
political confusion and feels very bitter
against his erstwhile friend Herbert Bis
marck, who has been very outspoken in
criticisms. Count Herbert is running as
a candidate in rural district. but the
chances for his election now seem ex-
tremely slight.
In every district there are from FIVE to
ten different candidates. Votes will be
80 split up and divided that secondary
elections will have to take place in at
least two-thirds of the election districts.
Won CaDrlvi counts upon making dickers
with various factions which will enable
him to pass the emperor's pet law in ac-
ceptable shape over the heads of the So
clalists.
What the kaiser will most try to do
will be to make concessions to number
OF refractory parties and thus line them
up in support of his policy. The Liberals
are well aware of this danger and they
will seek to compromise on the army bill
in order to avoid return Of reactionary
element to power and on this spirit OF
compromise the kaiser and chancellor
build hopes of success.
A mob of 200 Socialists broke into a hall
near Elbing this evening, and attacked
Conservatives who we're meeting there
The police were called out and cleared the
hall, but the Socialists refused to dis
perse. Eventually the police charged
upon the Socialists until the crowd dis
persed. Many rioters were injured.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 12.-At
the opening of the second week at the
Lizzie Borden trial this morning, over
half the spectators were women. After
the court had formally opened the jury
was directed to retire and what promised

After the recess DIR. Dolan testified re-

PENSION FRAUDS.
A Vigorous Crusade Will BE Inaugur-
ated Immediately.
Two Gangs of Pension Swindlers I'm
earthed, One in Virginia, Another in
Iowa "A Lead in New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The next few
months will be hard times for the crooked
gentry throughout the country who are
indulging or attempting to indulge in
little confidence games with the pension
rolls. A vigorous crusade is to be in
augurated Immediately against all PEN
sion frauds, and thorough investigation
is to be made of all suspicious cases.
The pension bureau is uow almost COM
pletely re-organized, as far as the subor-
ordinate officials OF the bureau are con-
cerned. although few changes yet re-
main to be made among field officials.
Having, therefore, almost completed the
laborious and absorbing undertaking OF
re- organizing the Office, Commissioner
Lochren will turn his attention to other
duties of the Office, not the least i'm
portant of which is the carrying out of
the administration plan of making the
pension roll roll OF honor and purging
it of all cases found to be unworthy.
Some quiet work has been going on In
the meantime in this direction, and al
ready two gigantic frauds have been un-
earthed, while the inspectors are rapidly
closing in on another gang. The first
case was that of the Norfolk crowd of
pension swindlers, whose raid upon the
treasury has been pretty extensive. 1t is
estimated that nearly quarter of mil
lion of dollars represents the dealings OF
this gang, who carried on wholesale and
retail business in fraudulent pensions.
Another precious lot is the gang that
has been working in the neighborhood OF
Lime Springs, Ia, and who were ferreted
out by Pension Examiner Waite. These
fellows were adopts in their business.
They carried on their traffic in pensions
in bold way, and even had travelling
men on the road soliciting pensioners.
The result of their little game with Uncle
Sam has not yet been figured up, but it is
thought that they feeced the old gentle
man out of something like 5000, 600.
One Van Leuvan, pension attorney,
was at the head of the ring and pulled the
wires. He is said to have obtained con-
| troll of the local examining board and got a
Hpull' on two or three other examining
| boards in the state.
When one of Van Leuven's claimants
secured pension he was notified of his
rating by receiving letter, in which it
was stated that "hogs are selling at Sc
apiece or "wheat is running thirty
| four bushels to the acre. the figures
conveying the rating. Special Examiner
| Waite is still at work in that section un-
earthing more evidences OF fraud, but II
is said that he has already made out E
good case. Van Leuven and several Of
his accomplices have been arrested.
The apprehension of these two cases al
most sim ultaneously has stimulated the
special examiners to increased activity
Fresh traces of another big deal have
been run across in the last few weeks
and corps of men are hot on the trail o
the raiders, with good prospects of round
ing them up at an early date. This gang
has operated in New Mexico.
