A GENERAL SURPRISE.
The Large Adverse Vote Against Silver
interests in the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-[Special. THE
vote in the House today was general
surprise because of the large adverse ma
iority against silver interests. Even the
gold standard men did not expect so
great a majority. Messrs. Cofeen of
Wyoming and Sweet of Idaho stood by
their section to the last, but many others
in the west went back on silver.
The fight now being transferred to the
Senate will arouse the friends OF silver to
greater exertion, and while on the sur
face the situation looks as if the single
standard men have the advantage and
will force the fighting. Even Senator
Sherman admits that it will be many
weeks before anything is done.
Colonel Thomas H. Patterson OF Color
ado, who is here, says that silver men
will never give up in the Senate and that
they will resort to every obstructive pol
icy before they allow unconditional re-
neal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The galleries
of the House were crowded long before
the time for assembling by persc rs inter-
ested in the result of the balloting on the
silver question after two weeks debate.
When the speaker raped for order at
noon nearly every seat IN the hall was
| filed. While waiting for call to order
Mr.. Bland freely admitted that the claims
of the anti-silver men of majority of
fifty were we'll founded and might be ex-
ceeded, and it looked as il the Wilson bill
might go through with little or no fric-
ton.
After reading the journal Mr.. Weaver,
of New York, appeared at the bar of the
House and was sworn in. Then the clerk
reported the resolution containing the
order of procedure on the question, pro-
yiding for a.vote first on the free coinage of
silver at ratio of 16 to L.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, asked if, in case
all the amendments as to ratio were de-
feated, it would be in order to propose an
additional amendment.
The speaker thought not, but would
hear the gentleman on the subject when
the time came to formally present it.
Mr.. Mcmillan of Tennessee, wished to
offer an amendment for the free coinage
of the product of the silver mines of the
United States.
Mr.. Bland objected even to reading
it, saying that it was not free coinage at
all.
Then the Wilson bill repeating the sill
L. Il O
was read, and Bland offered his first
amendment for free coinage at ratio of
16 to 1.-This was defeated; yeas, 1913;
nays, 227; amid the applause from the
anti-silver men who did not expect so
large a majority.
The following is the detailed vote on the
16 to / amendment:

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Another meeting
of unemployed was held on the Lake
Front today. About three thousand men
were present. The police arrested one
man who was urging the people to go
armed and fight the authorities. Aside
from this there was no excitement on the
Lake Front. After speeches the crowd
wandered in aimless manner along Van
Buren street until Siegel & Cooper's big
general store was reached.
Here a number of men were suddenly
seized with the idea of entering the store
and made rush for the doorway, shout
ing and yelling. The shoppers in the
store were badly frightened and hurrying
for other exits when force of police ar
rived and charged the mob, which scat
tered with great haste.
No arrests were made, but number of
men who were slow in moving, received
a vigorous humping from policemen's
clubs,

THIEVES IN UNIFORM.

The Chief of Police has instructed
Inspector Hunt to make a thorough
investigation OF the report that Off
GERS of the Town of Lake Station
have been holding persons up on the
highways and robbing them. Neither
the Inspector nor Capt. Ward of the
Town of Lake Station has forward
ed any report on the subject to head
quarters 1t is said that not long
ago a Robey street merchant was
held up by four men wearing police
uniforms and robbed OF consider
able sum of money: that two stock
men were also relieved of some valu-
ables by men in the uniform of the
police department.; that a young
Polish girl was assaulted by certain
officer, and that Julia MicZkowski,
who was found beside the railroad
tracks in that district, claims she
was assaulted by man who is a SUBJ
stitute patrolman from the Town OF
Lake Station. Superintendent Bren-
nan says the charges are the most
serious that have ever been made
against the police force He will
take steps to have them fully inves-
tigated. If proven true, he says the
offenders should not only be dismissed
from the service, but also be arrested
and prosecuted.

There were four of us who had en-
camp for the night on the Gunnison
river in western Colorado. We had
been prospecting for gold with decidedly
poor success and were therefore rather
disheartcned, but we endeavored to keep
up our spirits by telling stories while we
lay about the campfire and smoked.
Suddenly we were startled by peculiar
whirring sound, which every man of u
recognized instantly.
There's a RATHER in campw crieo
Jetfries. as ne started up. Look out
for i'll"
We all moved rather hastily, with the
exception of Bolton, who lay quite still
on his back, his hands under his head,
his cob pipe having fallen from his
teeth.
"'Shr he whispered "For goodness
sake keep still The snake has crawled
into my Shirt"
We knew what that meant, and we
became motionless instantly. | felt a
chill of horror run down my spine as |
thought of the poisonous reptile Struggled
to Bottoms bosom, in which it might
plant its deadly fangs in few moments.
The faring freight threw fantastic
3hadows on the black canyon wall and
the river murmured sullenly. Away in
the night lone owl hooted.
Not muscle of Bottoms body moved,
and it seemed that he had ceased to
breathe. The only motion apparent
about his person was caused blythe snake
crawling beneath his shirt. We sat there
staring and helpless, unable to make a
move to save our imperiled comrade.
After time the rattler thrust his ugly
head out of the opening in the front Of
Bottoms shirt, lifting it over the motion
less mans face. We could see the rep
tiles forked tongue darting out and his
eyes glittering, while his head waved
from side to side. Still Bolton remained
motionless, knowing that the slightest
action on his part might seal his fate.
We could see he was white as a corpse.
Jim Nevans, the best pistol shot of our
party, drew his revolver, pressing on the
trigger as he cooked it so it might not
click. The snakes head was within six
inches of Bottoms eyes, and it seemed
that the venemous creature might strike
at any moment.
Shall shoot, Dave2" softly asked
Nevans.
"Shootp' was the only word Bolton
uttered.
The cooked revolver was slowly lifted,
and every man held his breath. The
weapon spoke, and the bullet cut the
rattesnake's head from its body. Like
a flash Dave Bolton leaped to his feet,
tore the beheaded reptile from his bosom,
and flung it into the fire. Then he sank
down helpless, almost fainting, great
drops of perspiration standing on his
face. But he had displayed pure nerve.

Over Twenty-Five
Years.
Bench, Bar and Public
Alike Respect
Him.
B. M. Shaffner Will Be
an Ideal
Judge.

One of the brightest men at the
Chicago bar is Benjamin M. Shaffner,
who, aside from his distinguished
ability as lawyer, is one Of our
foremost German American citizens.
He is a true son of the fatherland,
and has hosts of friends, not only
among those who come from his ma
tive Germany, but among the mem.
bers of the various nationalities
which go to make up our great cos
mopolitan city.
Since 1869 he has been practicing
at the Chicago bar, and the record
which he has made is one of which
he may be justly proud. He was adj
mitted to the bar in Quincy after
passing an examination which was
one of the very best ever taken by
any student in Adams County. Upon
his arrival in Chicago, two years be-
fore the great fire, he became the
partner Of James Goggin, now one of
the ablest Judges on the bench.
Young Shaffner distinguished him
self from the start by the grasp and
acumen with which he took hold Of
cases.
1t was to his intense industry in
matters intrusted to him that his
wonderful success in winning clients
was due. To-day no man is more
universally respected, both by his
clients and by the members of the
bar, than B. M. Shaffner.
He has taken part in some of the
most important cases ever tried in
the Cook County courts.
A lifelong Democrat, Mr.. Shaffner
has always taken an active part in
the affairs of the Democratic party,
and has done much toward further
ing its interests locally. He resides
in the Twenty-second Ward.
His friends both in and outside of
the Twenty-second are urging the
nomination of Mr.. Shaffner for one
of the Judgeships to be filled this
fall.
He is essentially of the judicial
temperament and would ornament the
Cook County bench.
From the way his cause is being
doomed and the genuine enthusiasm
displayed in his behalf, Mr.. Shaffner's
nomination is already an assured
fact.
Upon this the public as well as Mr..
Shafner is TO be congratulated.

Earth Currents.

A very interesting phenomenon and
one that has received considerable atten-
ton from various experimenters, is that
of earth currents. A variety of theories
have been advanced as to the cause of
these currents, careful study has been
made of their nature and strength and
the frequency of the intervals at which
they manifest themselves, and it has even
been proposed to store up their energy
for commercial use. j. Kennedy Gibson
has made series of interesting expert
ments upon the subject on one of the
Java-Australian cables His observa-
tions differ in many respects from those
made IN other quarters of the globe. In
all his experiments the diurnal variation
seems to be fairly uniform, the times Of
maXima aud minima agreeing in a
marked manner. On the Atlantic cables
il has been found that there are two
complete alterations in twenty four
hours, while on the Java-Australian
cable there appeared 90 BE but one Of
about thirteen hours duration, while
during the remaining period the cur.
rents are weak aud variable. The slope

is a pity that Admiral Tryon,
who so manfully confessed the great
blunder for which he knew that he
was about to pay the penalty of his
life. added Unreasonable to the mag
nitude Of the calamity by signaling
that no boats should be sent to the
rescue. This circumstance, although
it has attracted comparatively slight
attention, was OF the grayest impor-
lance in swelling the calamitous re-
suits. 1t is clear now that the loss
of the splendid battleship Victoria
and about four hundred lives was the
result of Admiral Tryon's error of
calculation. 1t is not necessary to
assume, however, that the Admiral
was either intoxicated or insane. He
was temperate man. He made a
mistake: but, no doubt, it was sanely
made. The incidents of that fatal
day, as described by those who we're
nearest to the Admiral, indicate that
he gave an order without due thought,
intending to say eight cables, and
saying six cables instead When
his attention was called to the mat
ter he probably concluded mentally
that the maneuver could be accom-
plished in six cables, and adhered to
his order. That seems to be a rea-
sonable deduction from the testimony
at the court martial England has
lost a formidable battleship through
the biunder of Admiral Tryon, but
she has also proven that her seamen
Of to-day are as brave as those who
won fame and victory at Aboukir and
Trafalgar.
