cored. Miss Dimple Kloeber as Peep

THE SURVEYS for the Spear Electric
Railway crossed Four-mile-run on the
9th instant, and yesterday reached the
gates Of Arlington on one of the pre-
liminary lines. Two others are to be
run. The crowded condition of the
afternoon train yesterday at about
$50 on its way to this city, including
the number who were unable to secure
seats and had to content themselves
with hanging on to the guard rail,
would convince anyone of the neces,
sity of a new line between this city and
Washington had they witnessed it.

The RADICAL SILVER MEN
Are Defiant but the Moderate Supporters

Are Defiant but the Moderate Supporters
of Free Coinage See the Light.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2s.-The
Star says; "The talk Of the radical sill
yer men since they have got over the
first shock of the news from India is
rather defiant. Most OF them declare
that they are more than ever determ-
ined TO maintain the white metal as q
money standard. While admitting that
the decentralization in India is hard
blow at bimetaliSm at the present ratio,
they speak of it as conspiracy and in
siSt that il is more than ever important
that this country stand by silver. They
claim TO be firmer than ever in their po-
sitiOn and say that they intend TO fight
with all their might to prevent the
further degradation Of silver.
The more conservative men, how
ever, regard this as whistling against
the wind. Their best judgment is that
many Of the men who are known as
moderate silver men, whose votes In
Congress have given to silver the
strength which it has had against the
repeal of the Sherman law, will be in
duced 70 look upon the question diff
ferently under existing conditions and
that while the radicals will fight as hard
as ever against the repeal, they
lose many OF their followers In
the House and some In the Senate.
Those men who are not actually welded
to silver, but vote for free coinage be-
cause their constituents think there
should be more money in circulation,
will, II is believed, find in the present
situation an excuse and reason for vo-
ting the Sherman law off the statute
books, perhaps even without any sort of
q substitute as a compromise. Repre-
sentative Boatner, OF louisiana; Oates,
Of Alabama; Anderson, Of West Vir-
ginia, and Meredith. of Virginia, all Of
whom voted for free coinage in the last
Congress, now declare that the Sherman
law must be repealed at the earliest
pCssible moment"

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2s.-There
IS no let up in the pressure on the Pres
ident to induce him TO call an extra ses-
sion of Congress earlier than Septem-
Der.
He is daily deluged with kilograms
and letters from individuals, financial
institutions and commercial bodies in
almost every city in the country, urg-
ing him TO Immediately call Congress
together for the purpose of repeating
the Sherman law, and enacting such
other financial legislation as may be
thought necessary 70 relieve the situa-
tion and restore confidence, as far as
this Gun be done by congressional &C
tion.
Members OF the Cabinet and Of Con-
gress are also receiving similar letters
and kilograms from friends and coustlt-
uents appealing to them to use their In
fuenee with the President to induce
him TO call an extra session, at once.
The President is giving due attention
70 all these appeals, and fully sypathlzes
with the anxiety Of business men TO
have the Sherman law repealed, and
the dangers which threaten the govern
ment finances and the business interests
OF the country, removed. He is watch
ing the progress Of events as keenlY as
any man in the country, and he is In
position to know better than almost any
one what the real situation is, and how
far 1t would be likely 10 be relieved by
an extra session.
While he has held all along and still
holds that September 4 is the earliest
date at which it would be feasible TO
accomplish anything by an extra ses-
sion, it can be said on the best authori-
" that II the situation should seem 20
demand . session at an earlier date, he
would not delay day in sending out
the call. But as matters now stand he
does not think there need be any fear
of serious injury to the legitimate busi-
ness interests OF the country from the
new complications In the silver ques-
tion, and believes that much more real
good can be accomplished by putting
OF the cali for an extra session until
latter date than by issuing il now.

NIr. Bland,s Ideas.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 2S-Congressman
Il. p. Bland, the great silver advocate, is
here, and referring to the Indian suspen-
sion OF silver coinage said:
"Heroic measures will berequired on the
part Of this government for the remoneti-
zation of silver. Most emphaticslly l do
not think it is knock out for silver in this
country. On the contrary, think that il
Congress does not adopt some measures
looking to a bi-metallic standard, il will
make the battle of standards the coming
issue in this country. This battle will dis
rupt political parties and cause a contest
between the commercial centers aud the
agricultural districts of the country.
Free coinage Of silver is demanded by
the labOring classes, and this is what free
silver men will now demand Of Congress.
"The demOnetization OF silver is con-
spiracy between the banking institutions
OF England and the eastern portion OF the
United States. aud the suspension OF silver
coinage in India is part of this conspiracy
TO bulldoze the Congress OF the United
States to the adoption Of a gold standard.
l do not believe they will succeed.
"If the Democratic Congress stands true
TO its pledges this conspiracy will not sue
ceed. The low price of silver is due TO the
fact that this and other governments are
discriminating against it and that the
money interests of this and other COUNTRIES
have fought No important commercial
country has recently had mint for the
tree exchanne Of gold and silver. The ef-
fort has been TO dam silver and prevent its
free coinage in the commerce Of nations"

store silver 70 its original valuel

COLLEGE COMMENCEMENTS.
Harvard and Yale Turn Loose Lot OF
Newly Made college Men.

New HAVEN, CT, June 2S.-The closing
commencement exercises took place at
Yale to-day. The class which. from all dc.
partments of the university, received
diplomas this year is the largest Wnlcs
ever left Yale. 1t includes loo members
from the academic department, lOS from
the scientific, 30 from the theological
school, 10 from the medical school, IS from
the law school, and 81 from the art schooi,
total of AIS out Of 1859 OF the entire
membership of the university.
The following honorary degrees were
conferred: l.. L. D.-Hon. Wilson 5. Bis

and VIM. H. Taft, class Of rs. Judge OF U.
S. Circuit Court. NJ. A.-Daniel n. burn
ham, Director General of the Worlds
Fair at Chicago, and General Alexander
McClurg and George Manierre, OF chicago.
The celebration last night by the 1ale
Alumni assumed a destructive nature.
About one O'Clock this morning a big bon
fire was lighted and the shutters torn on
old South College TO feed the flames. In
the scrimmsge about every window In the
venerable dormitory was broken. AS the
building will be torn down this vacation,
this vandalism is of snail account. A room
on south middle was set on nre oy nre-
cracker, but the flames were put out with
llLLlS QdIUdkc. L wv w
the football player, and Ralph Birdsali,
had their features badly marred by nre-
crackers, but with bandaged faces they
were able to take their diplomas this noon
The scene of revelry extended even TO
New York street, where letter ooX was
blown up by cannon cracker. Some mis-
creant, whether college man or not, put
q big cracker in the box and the explosion
reduced il to fragments. 1t was full OF
valuable mail matter, nearly al OF which
was badly damaged. The penalty for the
crime is 20 years in State prison. Every
effort is being made by local postal authori-
ties to discover the perpetrators.

DROPPED FROM TIE ROLLS.
some People Who Fraudulently Drew
Pensions VIII Draw Them no More


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2s.-They
are after the fraudulent pensioners A
list comprising the names OF NUMBER
of pensioners, recommended by Com
missioner Lochren TO be dropped from
the pension rolls, has been handed to
Secretary Hoke Smith aud he has ap-
proved the recommendations.
1t has been found upon investigation
by the Pension Bureau that the persons
named in the list are not entitled to
draw pensions. Among them are the
names OF eleven men now drawing PEN
sions, while the records OF the War De-
partment show conclusively that they
were deserters from the army and are
still deserters at large. One pensioner,
IL has been discovered, was never In the
military service at all, but has been
drawing his pension with regularity and
dispatch just the same. A number are
dropped from the rolls for not hav-
ing served ninety days, as the law
requires; others dropped because
the disability for which they are draw
ing pensions is the result OF their own
vicious habits. Several women who
drew pensions as soldiers widows are
dropped because they have remarked,
and one woman will cease to draw q
pension because she is living In ''open
and notorious adultery"
Secretary Smith and Commissioners
Lochren while prosecuting this work
renew the assurances previously given
that just as much care will be exercised
to secure pensions for those who are en-
titled to them under the laws as will be
used to prevent fraud.

FAVOR REPEATING TIE Law.
The South Has Come Into Line on That
side of the silver Question.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 2S.-The
NelUS to-day presents the results of q
telegraphic canvass Of the leading
newspapers OF the South; showing that
public sentiment in that section is now
overwhelmingly in favor Of the repeal OF
the Sherman law. Up TO a few months
ago the South had been considered q
free silver section and the votes Of q
majority of the Congressman were re-
lied upon TO oppose the repeal of the
Sherman act and even to go further In
the direction Of enacting free silver
legislation. In order TO find out
whether recent events had brought
about q change in public sentiment,
the MlCs yesterday sent to
the editors of the leading newspapers
in eleven Southern States the following
telegram:
please wire US tonight whether the
sentiment in your section now favors
the repeal of the Sherman act, and
whether Congress should De assembled
at once for that purpose.
The replies show a remarkable change
in Southern sentiment. One Mssiss-
ippi editor thinks the Sherman law has
not had fair trial; but every other edi-
tor addressed declares that the senti-
ment is decidedly In favor Of repeating
the law, and large majority favors
very prompt action.
