pany, has sworn out warrant against
Mr. VIM. Timmons, of Manchester, charg-
ing him with ielonious assault.

mons, who is an agent of the company,

fused to settle until the alleged shortage

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2I.-It has bsen
practically decided by the leaders of the
silver and anti-silver forces in the House
TO ask the House to amend the terms
of the order under which the pendin &
debate is being conducted. Owing to the
demand upon the Speaker for time TO
speak under the rule for general debate, it
was suggested that the tive-minute debate
to which the last three days OF the week had
been assigned. should be curtailed one day,
and that time be added TO the period set
aside for the general discussion. Should
the House agree TO the change agreed upon
by tho eaders, Thursday and Friday will be
devoted to talk under the five-minute rule.
and on Saturday the debate will be closed
under the general rule. This will give the
leading speakers an opportunity 10 speak at
length at time when the interest in the
debate will be at its climax, and and thereby
10 the favoring circumstances so eagerly
sought and thoroughly apprehended by the
average public speaker.
