THE SILVER QUESTION.
Henry Willard Is Making an Investigation
of the Situation.

of the Situation.
Following directly after the visit Of Mr.
Quincy as envoy from Mr. Cleveland Mr.
Henry Willard was at the Capitol today
making investigation of the silver
situation, with view of securing the
absolute suspension of silver purchase if pos
sible. He had an interview with Speaker Crisp,
MIR. McMillin. Mr.. Springer and number of
other Of the leading members of the House.
Speaking with a representative of The STAR
this afternoon he said that he had not vet dis
covered just what the situation as to the silver
suspension and that what he was trying to
do Was to fino out. What he wanted TO see was
the unconditional suspension Of the silver pur-
chases.
With relation to the talk OF his going into
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet he said that be would
not be a member of the cabinet, that his
business interests precluded that.
WHAT Mr.. COCHRAN SAYS.
Mr.. Cochran, who has just been to see Mr.
Cleveland, has returned and he also is inter-
ested in the silver situation. He has very little
to say about his visit to Mr.. Cleveland.
but says that he thinks the democratic
party is in very harmonious condition and
that there Is no reason for any uneasiness on
the part Of those who seem to he looking for
trouble. He saws he is not going to be Attor-
ney General and that he thinks that right
| where he is is a good enough place for MIN.
The presence of Mr.. Willard and the return Of
MIR. Cochran from visit understood to have
been made for the purpose of consulting with
Mr.. Cleveland on the silver question has
brought that question more prominently to the
front in the gossip at the Capitol today than
anyother question: and given it greater in
terest than heretofore.
The matter is being talked up one side and
down the other, and it is evident that every
thing possible is to be done to secure the re-
peal of the Sherman law on the best terms pos
sibie. Mr.. Cleveland is more concerned about
that than anything else. and is very active in
his efforts to secure some action.

Another Dynamite Explosion in the Prus-
sian VI lining District.

Another Dynamite Explosion in the Prus-
sian Mining District.
BERLIN. Jan. 14.-It is evident that the law
less element among the coal miners are deter
mined to revenge themselves for the dis
charge Of 20 many of the men who took
an active part in the mining district. To-
day terrific explosion occurred in the
Consolidation COlliery AZ Cesenkirchen. and
after the excitement had subsidized it was found
that 1t had been caused by dynamite cartridges
that had been secreted in the pine. presumably
by strikers. and 80 arranged that they would
explode at a certain time.
Though manv men were at work at the time
il So happened that none of them was in the
vicinity of the explosion and no one was killed.
y number of miners were, however. thrown
violently down by the conclusion.
Immense timbers and hugh masses of rock
were blown out OF place. and some of the gal
leries were completely blocked.
Great indignation Is expressed that the
authors of the outrage should have risked the
lives OF hundreds of men for the sake of re-
yenglng themselves against the mine owners.
Every day sees a decrease among the men
who went on strike. NJ hope of success has
been abandoned. and 1t is expected that in ..
short time all the men whom il ID intended
shall be re-employed will be at work.

CLOUDS CLEAR AWAY.
The situation in Paris Improved by Recent
Developments.


Developments.
PARIS. Jan. 1L-There is profound relief in
republican circles today over the statement
Of Charles lie Lesseps duplicating Arthur
Meyer. editor of the GGulOis. having re-
ceiyed 100. 600 francs from the Panama COM
pany. This at last brings the royalists
into the drag net and shows. what the friends
of the republic have claimed from the begin
ming Of the scandal, that republican officials
and journalists did not have a monopoly of
Panama corruption.
The fac; that four Bouangist deputies are
said 10 DE put under strong suspicion by evil
dence before VI. Franqueville is also con-
sidered as strengthing the cause of the repub-
lie. by showing the hypocrisy of those who
s--ail Il in the pretended interest of better gov
eminent.
The government has also been considerably
strengthened by the speech of Chancellor Won
Caprivi on the army bill. This has in a large
degree diverted attention from Panama affairs
and aroused a deeper interest in the foreign
concerns of France and in the necessity OF
Frenchmen standing together against their enc
mics abroad.
The situation today is therefore improved
and although the Figaro publishes a
iIonal article signed by the editor -in-chief. VI.
1agnard, urging Carnot in the interests of the
republic to resign, very little IL heard Of ad-
verse criticism upon the president.
