SILVER FACTIONS,

SILVER FACTIONS.
 The silver men are rampant and vocifer- ous, but there are signs that they are not as harmonious ss they might be. It Is said that one faction, of which the senators and representatives from the silver States will be the leaders, will resist the repeal of the bullion-purchase provision of the ex- isting silver law unless the bill carries other provisions either for free or limited coinage of silver which shall be regarded as satisfactory. There is no doubt that this faction will carry their opposition in the house of representatives, to the length of 6libustering against the adoption of rules to clothe the majority with power to bring any measure to final vote, or that they will resort to every other means within the reach of minority to prevent the unconditional repeal of the bullion purchase provision. In the senate like tactics will be followed by the senators from the silver states and probably by few others from the South and South west The other and probably the larger faction will be composed of free coinage Democrats who will oppose fli- busteripg in the house, and who will vote for the unconditional repeal of the bullion purchase provision in the expectation of bringing forward and passing bill for free or limited coinage. They may be in clined to favor rather than to oppose the adoption of closure rule in the house, because they believe that it will insure the passage of free-coinsge bill.
 But however much the silver men may fight among themselves they will probably be found united when the final test comes. And it will need all the strength and skill their opponents can muster to beat them. But they must be beaten

THE SCARE SURSIDING.

The people in Chicago and other cities who little while ago were tumblipg over each other to get their money out of savings banks are now in almost as great hurry to get it back. They have found that the banks can pay and therefore they don't want their money. They are like the Ger man in Hartford who few years ago be- came panio-struok and hastened to the say ings bank where he had his money. Rush. ing in out of breath with his ba-k book all ready he demanded his money. His demand didn't take the breath away from the man whose business it was to pay. He calmly handed the book to the bookkeeper, and told him to find out what was due the frightened German. When the latter saw that he was really going to get his money he asked for his book. saying that he didn't want the money if he could get 1t. He wanted it very badly when he thought he couldn't get It.
 The seneelsss raids which have been made on sound banks during the last few weeks show how foolish people are, and how infectious foolishne.s is. A strik- ing illustration of folly was the run on Chicago savings bank in which MT. L. Z Letter was interested. The bank was perfectly sound, and MT. Letter told the panic struck depositors that his unencunbered real estate in Cook county exceeded in value the total amount of their deposits, and that he was ready to pledge every square foot of 1t for their payment But they would listen to nobody and took their money out as fast as they could get it. In less than two weeks after the run ended, the rush of depositors, eager to re- place in the banks keeping the deposits they had drawn out. was go great that the managers had to provide additional facili- ties for the reception of the money.

CORONER HUGHES TALKS.

Saturday afternoon Chief Crowley asked
Coroner Hughes to disinter the body of
Miss Clara Mathews and make an autopsy
for the purpose Of determining the cause
of death. 1t was upon the report Of the
Coroner that DriscoIl, Won Werthern and
Gray were arrested.
There is no doubt in my mind." said
the Coroner yesterday. about the cause
of the young woman's death. We found
upon opening the grave that the body had
been placed in a rough board box. the
open joints of which had allowed the sand
to sift in and almost cover up the corpse.
The head and shoulders were somewhat
decOmposed, but otherwise the body was
in fair state of preservation. The
body was that of a woman apparently %
years Of age and was we'll nourished. The
long and luxuriant brown hair, which fell
almost 70 her knees, was matted with sand
and dirt, and had to be washed out before
the color could be determined.
I'VE placed the body on a bier beside
the grave and proceeded to make an ex-
animation of the different organs. 1t was
apparent that death had resulted from a
very bungling criminal operation. The
organs were removed ana taken to the
MOrgue for further examination, and the
body was taken to an undertaking estab-
lishment and placed in the icerOOm until
such a time as an inquest can be held.
This probably will not be done before

DR.. DRIsCOLL'S STATEMENT

Although DR.. E. p. Driscoll, who, like
Gray and Won Werthern, is charged with
murder on the prison register and is ac-
cused of being equally guilty with them
in bringing about the death of Clara
Mathews, he strongly maintains that he
took no hand In the treatment that re-
suited fatally. He claims that he merely
acted as consulting physician and was
Kept in the dark as to the real cause of
the young woman's condition.
Unlike the others. he takes his impris-
onment philosophically and betrays no
apprehension as to the ultimate result of
his future trial. When asked for a state

uiarly, neither had he anything 10 conceal. /.

YOUNG GRAY CONFESSES.

When arrested yesterday young Gray
made full con fession of his connection
with Clara Mathews and the events lead
ing up TO her death
II first met her in Idaho, he said, "where
she was working as a waitress in a restau-
rant. Shortly after making her acquaint-
ance 1 expressed my intention of going to
Salt Lake City and she insisted upon ac-
companying me. She did not have quite
enough money to buy her ticket, so / gave
her the 81 30 necessary to make up the
am cunt.
"From Salt Lake we came to Sacramento
together and afterward went to Lincoln.

knowledge.
"The next morning l went TO see DIR. Won

and asked him to help the young woman
out of her trouble. After some discussion
he consented to do so for consideration
of S25.
HE went with me to the hotel, where I
introduced him to Miss Mathews. and
together we agreed upon a course of
action.

get rooms nearer his Office. as he could OF
