He Offers sabst,suto for MePhersOR'S
Suspension OF silver Purchase PFopoSi'
tIon.
wAsHISaToN, D. O., Jan, 4.-Repre.
sentative Michael D, HartOr Of Ohio,
objects to the suspension Of the silver
purchase resolution introduced inthe
senate by Mr.. MCPHERSON, Of New JeF-
soy, on the ground that itgives to the
secretary Of the treasury greater con-
troll over the subject than any man
could wish, and more than congress
ought to place in the hands oi any
officer OF the government. He offered
in the house to-day a substitute in the
nature OF joint resulution, providing
as follows;
"That all further purchases OF silver
bullion by the United States OF Ameri'
On shall cease from and attpr tho pms.
sage or adoption Of this resolution, and
that said purchases shall not be re-
sumed until an international agreement
shall be reached which agreement shall
at least include Great Britain, Ger!
many, France and the United States Of
America; and which agreement shall
fix the valuation at which silver bullion
will thereafter be received for coinage
without limit as to quantity at the
mints OF all the nations which are
parties to an international agreement"
Mr.. Harter thinks this resolution
should accomplish the same result and
not be open to tho same objection rs
tho Mcpherson resolution. ut would,
moreover" he says, "be a notice to the
world that we we're ready to join with
other civilized nations in the coinage OF
silver on any agreed.upon international
ratio, and that meanwhile we declined
going on raking their chestnuts in for
them at the risk OF commercial disaster
and national disgrace"
Mr.. Harter says he believes that
silver purchases have greatly contracted
the currency during the last twenty.

the government in payment for pig

BERLIN, Jan. 4.-This has been q day
Of keen anxiety in the sqar district,
where the miners and their anarchist
leaders have made desperate attempt
to save their cause by spreading terror
and threatening open conflict, In
Puttlingen this morning mob Of two
hundred strikers raided the houses Of
tho men who had refused to join them,
dragged out and beat several and
smashed tlewlndows,
In Forbaeh a mob starting out with q
similar purpose was stopped for a mo-
ment by a priest, who begged the men
to be reasonable and not to make limo,
cent workIngmen suffer for trying to
support their families. The doctrines
Of anarchy which they We're trying 10
realize were disgracetul TO Germana

the priest as he spoke against the an,
archists, and q shower OF stones fell
around him. Tho mob made q rush for
him, but he saved himself by running
away, The meh broke few windows,
beat two miners who had refused to
stop work, and dispersed.

to the effect that, despite the bombast
Of the leaders and the apparent re-

weakening, The striking miners are

MURpnY's "CINoa."

He VIII ForcO tho Fight and is Sure
New YoRK, Jan. 4.-"Murphy will
force tho Fighting" says the Albany
correspondent Of the HeraI4.
"Gtis announced" he continues, "that
the Democratic caucus for nominating
candidate for United States senator
would be held next Tuesday night.
Lieutenant Governor sheehan, Senator
sulzcr, and CIork DeFryst made the an.
nouncement. 1t looks as though the
machine" leaders were getting fright
eued. Ever since Mr.. Murphy was
called upon to prove his boasted party
loyalty by giving way to Bourke Cock
ran, Democrats have been asking each
other II it is we'll, after all, to disrupt
the party to please q msusger. The
assemblymen gathered ut tho capitol
house talked OF tho matter until many
ofithem say privately that they fear
they acted hastily IN giving their
pledges. Whenever such men are de-
tected by the machine" men, they are
put through n political course Of GYM
nastics to stitEen their belief and
strengthen their allegiance.
TO Offset the work OF the Cleveland
mon in the country districts the power
OF the state committee has been EN-.
ployed. Proofs Of party loyalty have
been demauded aud are now pouring in
to tho Murphy headquarters. These
proofs take tho shape OF Inducements
OF Mr.. Murphy's candidacy BY the vari-
Gus county committees incidentally,
tho Democracy OF Senator Hill is also
approved, BY this means the ina.
chino" leaders hope to head of Robert
A. Maxwell, who has been using prom
ises Of future federal patronage as o
lever to pry over the tower Of refuge
which Mr.. Murphy has erected.
1t has been deeply asserted here by
the anti-machine men that the ,assign-
lnents to places on tho assembly COM
mittees would be held back until after
caucus. This course would give the
''machine" big political club to beat
any wnyering members into life, aud to
keep them there. But the story 10
denied by those having the naming Of
committees. They assert the call Of the
caucus for tho night after Mondays
session is evidence OF their honorable
Intentions. The call for tho early
caucus was written this afternoon with
a pen that has an odd history. 1t Is OF
the stylograph order and was presented
to Assenblyman Finnegan, OF Rock
land, during the Chicago convention by
an enthusiastic Hill man named Muir

gerded in the Rennsaeler county head.

In tho revision of acreage the prlici-
