THE SENATE CONTESTS.

The Silver Question Adds Considerable
Interest to Disputes Over Northwestern
SenatOrships.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The fact that
the senators from the northwestern
states are not unanimous on the silver
question and that some of them will
probably vote to repeal the Sherman
silver purchasing law, seems to lend
added interest to the contests which
were pending when the senate adj
journed in extra session in April last on
the case of senator's from Montana. Wyo-
ming and Washington. In all three of
these states the legislatures got into a
prolonged deadlock and adjourned
without electing senator to fill the
vacancies that were to occur on March
f. These three contested cases will
probably bring on a bitter and pro-
tracted preliminary fight before the
senate can settle down to business for
which the extra session was convened.
The right of senator to his seat is a
question of the highest privilege and
senator's on one side or the other of the
silver question are sure to demand a
decision on these cases before any vote
Is taken on the Sherman law. In addi-
ton to these potent probabilities OF
delay there are the Enacted upon resO-
lutions of investigation in the case of
Senator w. n. Roach. of North Dakota,
upon which a hot partisan debate is in
evitable.

there had been a secret conference be-
tween him, Congressman-clect New
lands. of Nevada, Executive Commit
teeman johnson. of Nevada. and Col.
Lee Crandall, secretary of the Silver
league, was made out of whole
cloth. The silver people, he said, were
determined. however, to offer bitter OPP
position to the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman law. They claim that to
do otherwise would be to surrender to
the gold power which brought about
the decentralization of silver in this
country and which wrought the demon
alization of the white metal in India.
At the opening of the extra session
they will vigorously resent any attempt

Won bY Yale.

New LONDON, July 1.-Yale's mighty
oarsmen beat Harvard's brawny eight
yesterday by four lengths in the
grandest and hardest race ever pulled.
Up to the last quarter mile of the
four mile course the crimson wearers
seemed to be sure of the victory Then
the young giants in blue responded to
the word for squirt and the Harvards
were first overhauled and then passed
almost as though they were standing
still Then the Yales kept it up, and
when the finish was reached they were
four lengths ahead.
Up to the last half mile Harvard had
the lead, but the pace was too fast The
crimson boat shivered, shuddered and
finally collapsed after resigning the lead
when the race was three-quarters over.
The blue oars, on the other hand, grew
steadier. with every stroke, and at the
close were sending the boat along at
one of the strongest, most uniform and
steadiest rates ever traversed by a Yale
shell.

MARTIN AND ADV.

The Two Contestants for the SenatOrshiI
from Kansas File Statements.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 29.-In March
last Hon. Joseph w. Ady and some Il
republican members of the state legis
lature sent commuhica lions to the Tn.
tied States senate asking that an in
quiry might be made into the validity
of Senator Martins election. The
communications were ordered printed
and referred to the committee on priv
leges and elections. The committee
requested Senator Martin to prepare a
statement of all the facts in the case,
setting forth fully the grounds upon
which he contends that his election
was legal, and file such statement with
the committee. Since his return from
Washington, Senator Martin has pre-
pared the statement called for, and for
warded it to the committee. 1t is
rather voluminous, and covers all the
points raised in the case.
MR. ADY'S STATEMENT.
Hon. Joseph w. Ady has forwarded
to the committee on elections of the
United States senate statement of his
claims in the contest brought by him
against John Martin for the United
States senatorship. Mr.. Ady claims
that there was either no election at all,
or if there was, he was legally chosen.

Mr.. Porter has been DESTROYS of sever

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

| Leaders Consulting rs to the Work Of the
Extra Session-Financial Legislation.
| WASHINGTON. July 5.-Crisp is in
town. Carlisle sent for him, and Cleve-
land told Carlisle to do it. Carlisle and
Crisp talked for an hour behind locked
doors. The subject discussed was the
personnel and particularly the chair
manship of the next coinage COM
mittee. AS everyone knows Bland was
chairman of the committee last session,
and until yesterday, while the matter
was never especially discussed, no one
has seemed to doubt but Bland would
be the chairman next session. There
| is. however, a doubt and vigorous
growing one.
Cleveland is determined to win this
fight. He has made up his mind that
the Sherman law. free coinage and Sim
liar measures existing and proposed
are national evils. He has determined
that the Sherman law shall be repealed,
and repealed, too, without conditions:
and Cleveland is determined that Bland
shall express himself as favoring the
administration methods in this matter
or he will brush him aside just as in a
former term he overthrow that vastly
greater figure, Samuel j. Randall,
Cleveland's last word from Bland
came through Senator Vest. Vest asked
Bland if he would consent to the repeal
of the Sherman law without conditions
or substitute. Bland said he would
not. Vest then asked if as substitute
he would take coinage bill which
would coin 500. 900 silver dollars every
month. Bland said he would consent
to nothing less than 81, 900, 900 month.
Cleveland would not agree to $4,000. 600,
which would be practically victory
for free coinage, being all it's adherents
were asking. and now he will not con-
sent to $4,000. 600, or any amount what
ever as condition on which to repeal
the Sherman law.
He has decided that the only proper
safe course is to repeal the Sherman
law and decide on a financial system
afterward-and this is what Cleveland
will insist on. Nor will he he senti-
mental about how he carries out his
policy. He regards the country as Sc
riously menaced, and will not split
hairs in its defense.

terrorized the Indian territory and
Arkansas for months. were arrested
here yesterday. They arrived at the
Spaulding house late last night'with
Mrs. Starr and registered as Frank
lin, Mo.
The officers learning who the two
men were, surrounded the hotel yes
terlay, but were afraid to approach
them outright and attempted to get
them in a position to shoot on sight.
Henry Starr went alone into the res
taurant and the police followed him
Then Marshal Dana caught one arm
of the noted outlaw and officer Wright
another, while Detective Atkinson COW
cred him with pair of six shooters.
Starr gave up without struggle but
said to the officers: 1T is good thing
you got the drop on me or there would
have been some corpses around here"
The same officers then went to Col

He was armed with 45-caliber revolver
and would have made desperate re-
sistance if the officers had not first COW
cred him with pistols.
When the men were brought to Jail
an attempt was made to interview them
but without success.
After the arrest the officers went to
the Spaulding house and woke up the
woman, who was registered as Mrs.

Starr. She is about Is years old and
rather prepossessing. She said that
