Silver Men Stirred Up by Sem
ator Hills Announced In
tention.
Repeal Of the Sherman Act
Will Be Fought From
the Start.
They Are Confident Of a Ma
jority Of at Least
Ten.
Amendments Of the Anti
Option Bill Non-Con-
cured In.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-Senator Hills
intention to call up the bill to repeal the
Sherman act next Monday has stirred
up the silver senators, sand, though, MI.
Teller believes that the motion to take
up the bill will be defeated, he is for
fighting it from the start and hitting it
hard at every opportunity. 1t is as
serted by the silver men that all tue
Democrats who voted for free coinage
before will do so again, with the eXcep-
ton of possibly two. On the other
hand, there is said TO be feeling Oh the
part OF three or four leading Republic
cans who are not silver men, and who
do not want the repeal passed, that it
would be bad policy for them to antagO-
nize Mr.. Sherman and the others who
are pushing the appeal. 1t is said .that
these men will -unwillingly vote to con-
slider the measure and then. should it
come up. will do some quiet but ener-
getic work in the direction of bringing
about its defeat. Teller thinks the ma
jority against MIR. Hlls motion will be
in the neighbOrhood of dozen. Even
if the two Democrats who
Voted for Free Coinage
before and are now classed as doubtful,
vote for consideration, the silver men
are confident they can defeat the mo-
ton to take the bill up by at least ten
votes. SO far as Mr.. Sherman's implied
threat that the rules of the senate might
be changed is concerned, the silver men
profess Indifference and say that the
changes necessary to carry out Nj.
Sherman's plan could not possibly be
brought about in time to accomplish
anything at this late day in the session.
The advocates of a repeal of the Sher-
man bullion purchase act continued to-
day in the house To circulate their petit
tons in favor Of cloture amendment
to the rule for consideration of the An
drew-Cate bill. There was only slim
attendance of members, so that many
new signatures could not be obtained.
All of the Democrats from New York,
except Mr.. Cummings. have signed.
Mr.. Cummings wants more time to
think over the matter. The number of
signatures obtained thus far falls con-
siderably short of majority of the
Democrats of the house. all apprehen-
slonS are felt that it will be impossible
to obtain the desired majority. A num-
Der of signatures can be obtained if as
Surance be given that some compromise
measure will be substituted for the
nracnnt law

or Six Hundred More

The Mob Holds Possession of
f the City for Two
~ Days.
Newspaper Attacks on the
I Laboring Classes Caused
~ the Riots.

PANAMA, Feb. 4.-Private adviceS
from Bogota are that the recent riot
was much more serious than at first re-
ported. 1t is stated that there was Sc
we're and Sanguinary battle between the
populace and the police. The mob de-
feated the police and held possession of
the city for two days, The national
troops were called out and martial law
was proclaimed. The soldiers sue
ceeded in restoring order, and the lead
ers of the mob were arrested and exc
cuted. Altogether about 100 persons
were killed and from 500 to 600 injured
in the conflict. A rigid censorship of
press dispatches is being maintained, so
it is difficult to get the facts.
The riots are in no sense political.
The trouble grew out of the publication
of an article in the newspapers by a
professor in a local Jesuit college, al
leging widespread ignorance among the
laboring classes. The artisans rose ell
masse, and mob of about 400 gathered
about the house of Gutierrez, stoned
the building and broke the windows
ana doors. Inc ponce demonstrated
with the rioters. but they were driven
away. They returned with reinforce
mentS and a collision occurred,
i'll which shots were exchanged.
The police were victorious. An
other fight occurred later III the
day. but the rioters were dispersed. Ev
erything was quiet the next morning,
but at 5 O'Clock Ill the evening the work
ingmen gathered by thousands in San
Victoranio square, Las Cruces ward and
in the public market. They overpow :
cred the police, and for a while were i'll
full possession of the city. Newspaper
offices were sacked, and a general as
Sault was commenced on the police bar
racks. The government called out the
military. and after sharp fight the mob
was dispersed. The capitol is still in a
state of siege, although it is officially
announced that Quiet has been restored.

Japanese Children.

CnlClgO times.
The Japanese are trained to civllity
from babyhood. Before the baby can
speak it is taught to lift the hand to the
forehead on receiving a gift. Should a
child fail to make this signal of respect
and gratitude it would be reproYed by
some bystander.
Albert Tracy, who rambled through
Japan without guide, while strolling
about town, stopped to see the chill
dren coming from school.
They walked sedately and quietly,
with books and states under their arms.
The sight of bearded foreigner startled
the first to come, but they made re-
spectful bow and passed on. The next
ones repeated this clvility, and then as
fast as the pupils came they made a
profound reverence.
The innate gentleness of the people
impressed the rambler. He records that
he never saw single instance among
boys of that tyrannical, bullying spirit
so often observed in other countries,
that delights in inflicting pain on
weaker companions. Japanese children
are we'll behaved, even toward each
other.

arrest OF the President Of q
Defunet Life Insurance
Company.

CmCAGo, Feb. An evening paper
pub ishes the following: Several Chi
.ago banks have had a close shave from
being Swindled out of amounts ranging
rom 5000 to $1,000 by a trio of bold
schemers from New York. The story
S given out that two sharpers from
New York approached Mr.. Scott, of the
Illinois Bath Tub company, and pro-
posed that they form gigantic com
pany and enlarge the present ones ca
pacity. The trio visited f. IL. Holton,
Of the firm of Holton u Co., plumb
ars' supplies, Boston, and, aft
CT dilatng upon the future of
The company, offered him the
exclusive Eastern control Of the bath
tub if he would take $4,000 worth of
stock. Holton was to give ninety day
notes for $4,000, and the two would
send East $4,000 in cash at the time OF
maturity. The men interested i'll the
Manhattan Plumbers Supply company,
Of New York, were similarly induced to
sign notes for $4,000 F. II. Mills, the
pig plumber and supply man of PhlIa-
lelphia. was next visited, and ne IS said
10 have signed papers to the extent OF
EG0,0o0. Then the trio sang the same
tale Of riches to plumbing supply men
Of Utica, Rochester, Pittsburg and other
Eastern cities. Then they
Came to Chicago
with over 5000. coo worth Of diScountable
paper in their grip sacks. Before their
Operations were headed off they had dis
counted over $4,000 of it. AT both the
Fort Dearborn National bank and Met
ropolilan National bank they discounted
81, 900 worth of the notes and drew out
the larger portion Of the cash to their
credit. The same game was worked on
the National Bank of Illinois, the Amer
lean Exchange National bank, Chicago
Trust bank, the Atlas National, Central
Trust and Savings and other banks. In
each one the scheme Of depoSitlng cash,
leaving it alone and securing discounts
on the paper was worked.
Mills and Holton, it is said, met in
New York and discovered that the same
things had been promised to both OF
them. They at once sent an attorney TO
Chicago TO look after their notes. and
he induced the banks to charge the notes
held against the cash balance. This so
alarmed tie trio that they departed at
once. Cashier Hammond, Of the Ma
tional Bank of Illinois, admitted that
ne had discounted $4,000 in paper for
the combination. II was saved by an
attorney, vino notified me that the men
were sharpers," he said. They re-
ceived no cash from me, however, as l
had fortunately credited the amount to
the concern We lost nothing, but it
was a close shave"

AGAIN ON THE CALENDAR.
The Anti-Option Reported Back
to the House.

to the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The agricult-
ural committee met this morning and
decided to report the anti-option bill
back to the house and to non-concur in
the senate amendments and agree to
the request of the senate for confer
ence thereon. Subsequently Mr.. Hatch
reported the bill to the house, and it
was placed on the union calendar, where
it must be considered in the committee
of the whole. Representative Hatch is
confident that the anti-option bill will
pass, and said this evening he would
surprise the opposition some day by
a blow between the eyes when
they least expected it. 1T is
probable that Mr. Hatch will en-
deavor to make a test of the bili'S
strength Monday by taking advantage
of the rules permitting measures to be
acted on under suspension of the rules.
He will frame his motion so as to make
1t direct and ore which cannot be lodged
on some objection not applicable to the
bill itself. The opponents of the bill
assert their ability to tilibnster it to
death under the rules of the house if its
passage under suspension be defeated,
and of this they have little doubt.

A SNOW THOUGHT.

The beautiful snow / Ween | love
With a love deep and Profound:
love to see it covering all
1he bare, unsightly ground.
I love to see it f1uttering down
And dancing through the air,
So white, so beautiful, and so pure;
There is not sight more fair.
And where is sight one-half SO grand
AS the great trees meeklY bowed
And their bare, dead limbs all covered Ger
With the SHOWS white, clinging shroud?
But do not love the beautiful snow /.
Instead am filled with dread
When it comes in tons from lofty roof
And takes me on the head.
