the same policy is being pursued with

ENCOURAGING FOR SILVER MEN
Republican Senators Will Not Push q Re.
peal Eiil Thi; Session.

4 Washington SPECIAL says: The
postponed Republican Senatorial eau
Gus which was called to meet - In
residence of Senator Sherman was
somewhat disappointing to the Sena-
tors who had been instrumental in hav-
ing it called, because it failed TO secure
the attendance of iuoram.~ onse-
quently the gathering partook rather
of the nature of an informal CON
ferenc" than OF Il representative
eau us. If there had been any serious
intention Of pressing the silver repeal
question TO an issue that intention
speedily disappeared under the discour-
aging circumstances. and after Il brief
expression of individual views on the
subject il became evident that no agree
ment could be reached that could by
any possibility secure the adhesion of
all or hearty all the Republican Sena-
tors. So the subject was dropped by
mutual consent. and it was made appar-
cnt that the question of silver rereal
will no be ma e a party issue during
the remainder Of tn S Congress.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon

rush down the stairway OF the Domes-

of having just emerged from a slaugh-
ter house.
He was IN his shirt sleeves and ear
ried an infant in his arms. his face and
clothing being literally smeared with
blood. An immense crowd soon gath
cred on the suppOsitiOn that murder
had been committed. and soon a couple
of officers were on the ground. The
sanguinary individual proved TO be MIR.
Brakeman. the husband OF the woman
who conducts the house, which is filled
with rOOmerS. 1t appears that he had
had some trouble with a roomer
named John Franly, who, he
thought, was too previous in his
family affairs. FranIv entered the
house in liquor during the afternoon,
and. when lying on a bed. Brakeman
assaulted him with a poker. when a
general scrimmage ensued. No one
