young women were beautifying small

q lighted match. A sudden puff of wind
famed the flame and scattered the burn

clothing was ignited and in almost an

one difficulty in the way is the fact
that other towns in the southwest

ever that the sentiment of loyalty

wAsuIxeroS, D. O., Sept. 2s.-The
speech of Snator Cameron in favor OF
the free coinage of silver continues to
attract attention here, not only because
it is startling and unusual attitude for
Republican senator from an eastern
state (Pennsylyanfa) to take, but be-
cause OF the events that are crowding
on the heels OF that speech in POnusyl-
vania. At the meeting OF the Republi'
can league at Reading yesterday an at.
tempt to cenSure Senator CapeEop for
his course was defeated by a two.thirds
majority.
An explanation OF this failure to cen.
sure Senator Cameron, and indeed OF
the attitude he has taken, 10 furnished
by the intelligence that has reached
here that a movement is on foot among
the protected manufacturers OF Penn
sylvania TO effect combination between
the protected interests and the silver
men which shall have for its aim the
defeat OF the legislation looking to tariff
reduction and the qualification OF the
vests demand for free coinage under
modified conditions.
Some Of the members OF the Manufac-
turers club, OF Philadelphia, led by
James NJ. Dobson. the big woolen manu-
facturer, and Wharton Barker, the
banker, are engaged in circulating q
petition looking to the consolidation ot
the interests OF the protectionists and
the free silverites. Many signatures are
being procured.
The scheme is to defeat the new
tariff bill and give to silver, first, free
coinage of silver upon payment by the
owner Of seignorage absorbing threH-
fourths Of the difference between the
market (London) price of the bullion
aud its coined value; second, the pro-
hibitiou of foreign silver for coinage
purposes, except at a seignorage that
will absorb all the difference between
the market price and the mint value;
and, third, an international monetary
conference including all the nations OF
the world except gold monometallic
countries, for the purpose OF arriving at
an international agreement
The claim is set up that the interests
OF silver and protection are identical.
The plan mapped out by these Pennsyl-
yania manufacturers follows closely
the idea Of Senator Cameron's speech,
except that the former provides against
an influx OF foreign silver to the mints
by absorbing all the difference between
the market and coined value Of silver,
while the latter places upon foreign sill.
yer an inhibitory duty.
The scheme Is to align the Interests
OF silver and protection, and by this
means prevent adyers tariff legislation
and secure more liberal silver legisla.
tion. 1t is an alliance, the situation Of
which is fraught with great posstbili-
ties, IL it were practicable, but its sue
cessiul operation would mean the
breaking down of party lines, perhaps,
and an entire readjustment Of party
politics. The proposition, which seems
chimerical will doubtless attract sgreat

GREAT pAY N pHG HOUSE.

Personalities Rampant-The Lie Passes in
One Instance and in Another n Bitter
Partisan Clash Occurs.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept 2s.-The lie
was passed at the openingot the session
of the house this morning between Mr..
Morse, of Massachusetts, and Mr..
Fithian. of Illinois, but no blows were
struck and no blood will be spilled.
The alteration was an outgrowth Of
Mr.. Morse'S flibustering course yester-
day. Mr.. Morse, dn q fiye.minute
speech this morning, tried to justify
his action, during the course Of which
he charged Mr.. Fithian with being sole.
ly responsible for the refusal Of the
house to permit him to print in the
Record some newspaper extracts attack
ing Commissioner Lochren.
Mr.. Fithian. rising to reply, said that
inasmuch as Mr.. Morse had seen fit to
criticise him De desired to call the at
tention OF the house to rather dubious
proposition made by Mr.. Morse to him.
He said Mr.. Morse. when he lFithian)
objected to his leave to print, came TO
him with honeyed words aud informed
him that he was a member of the com.
mittee on public buildings and grounds
and intimated thatif he (Fithian9 had

be able to help him, II the Illinois con.
gressman could see his way clear to
withdraw his objection.
"That is absolutely false" shouted
Mr.. Morse, striding In war.like man
ner toward Mr.. Fithian.
"If the gentleman from Massachusetts
denies this statement I have proof to
adduce that will satisfy any member Of
the house. My colleague, Mr.. Goldseir,

AIcKeesport.
PrTTsDuRaH, Pa, Sept. GA Chvni.
cls. Telegraph special from Connellsville
says: 1t was reported here this morn.
ing that an attempt was frustrated last
night to hold up the midnight express
on the Baltimore & ohio railroad short
ly after the train left McKeesport. The
rpmor is denied by the officials Of the
company here, but there was eonsidera'
Bile excitement on the train when 1t ar
rived about half an hour late.
One passenger said that soon after
the train pulled out Of McKeesport and
had attained a pretty fair speed, 1t was
suddenly stopped. The trainmen all
rushed to the front and kept the pas
sengers back IN the cars. It is sup;
posed that some Of tho band Of would
be robbers failed to carry out their part
In the work and those who stopped the
train then made their escape.
The train last night was q heavy one
and filled mostly with passengers re-
turning from Chicago. In tho express
car there was S62, 900 in cash. g.
At the baltimore & Ohio oiRces in
this city the story is denied. The
officials say a tramp reported that he
overheard a crowd of Italians plotting
to rob the midnight express. When
asked bow he understood them he aa-
swered that be had an interpreter along.
He wanted 81 so for his information.
