WkaHIHGT0N LETTER
WASHINGTON, Aug, a. 18o.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81, 1893.
Speaker Crisp has completed the
committee assignments, and he will
announce them early this week. Ow-
ing to there being no committees to
which they could be referred no bills
have been introduced in the House
with the exception of that for the re-
peal Of the purchasing clause of the
sherman law, which was taken up for
consideration under an agreement,
without having been referred to COM
imittee, but food of them are ready
Ito be introduced as soon as the com.
rnittees are ready for them.
No speech made in the silver debate
in the House, which is now drawing
to close, was more carefully listened
to than that Of Representative Nc
Creary, of Kentucky. Governor Nc.
Creary is good talker upon almost
any subject and the knowledge gained
as one of the United States delegates
to the International monetary confer
ence added to the interest of what he
had to say about silver. He began by
stating that he voted against the Sher-
man law which had been a failure and
4 a colossal curse, and that he favored
The unconditional repeal of its purchas-
ing clause and the adoption of other
legislation afterwards in separate
bill and he impressed it upon the
House that ne was speaking as a
friend of silver and not as its enemy.
He said he favored international bimet-
allism and believed the repeal bill the
best way to bring it about, and that
the only safe path to free coinage was
through an international agreement.
In reply to a question from Mr.. Bland,
he stated that he was as much in fa-
vor OF silver as that gentleman was.
He also stated that to change the ratio
would be to destroy every prospect of
International agreement 1t was plain
to all that the speech made an inn
preston on the members. The gener-
al belief here, even among the radical
silver men, is that the repeal bill will

posts had been withdrawn in two
months from part of the national

during the month since July IL, the

been relatively even greater. A pre-

Gables an early morning visit to the
Office of his private secretary, in the
White House, will show how erroneous
such an idea is. AS regular as the
morning mail comes big batch of
official documents, representing the
Presidents work of the day before,
and just as regularly does private Sec
retary Thurber send big package to

Everybody is laughing at the neat
manner in which Senator German sat
down upon the representative Of a
New York paper which has lately been
very bitter in its abuse of him for no
better apparent reason than that he
declined to take the aforesaid paper
into his confidence. The other day.
just after an unusually bitter criticism
of the Senator had been printed under
a Washington date line, the Washing
ton correspondent of the paper sent a
man to ask Senator German if he had
any answer to make to the TRADE.
"Really'', replied the Senator, with
one of his most beaming smiles, 81
seldom see that paper, and l have not
heard of the article you refer to-"
With some confusion the man began
to explain the nature of the article,
but he was interrupted by Mr. Corn
an who carelessly remarked as he
turned to speak to one of his col
leagues "The matter is not of the
slightest Importance, assure you"
II is needless to say that the interview
with Mr.. German was not wired to the
paper.
Neither Secretary Hoke Smith nor
Commissioner Lochren are worrying
even little bit over the resolution in
troduced into the Senate by Mr.. Gal
linger, of n. H., providing for an in
vestigation of the legality Of their ac-
tions in suspending pensioners shown
by the records not to be entitled to
the pensions they have been drawing.
In fact, an investigation will be wei
come, and the more thorough it is
made the better it will be liked. Mean
while the suspensions continue at an
average of about $50 day. At the
close of business Saturday the total
number OF pensioners who had been
suspended was S,2s4.
The report of bill from the Senate
committee on Finance for the uncon-
dltional repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law put a stop
to the silly talk about that committee
Intentionally delaying report on the
bill. The minority of the committee
reported substitute bill, providing for
the free coinage of silver at a ratio of

The bill authorizing the National
banks to increase their circulation is

Mr.. Butler Of South Carolina, is for |

currency, and it is reported that one
will be offered providing for free coin

timent of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Gen. Benjs-
min F. Butler, the lawyer, Statesman,
politician and millionaire manufacturer,
died at his Washington residence. 220
New Jersey avenue, southeast, at l 80
O'Clock this wednesday, morning.
The general had been in this city much
of the time this winter, watching a case
in which he is interested in the su-
preme court. Every Monday he was a
familiar figure at the sessions Of
that body, when decisions were
handed down. His age, as
well az the general impairment of
his health, while listening to the oral
decisions, looking for his own, was q
matter of comment time and again.
Finally, few weeks ago, the case was
decided against him. Whether or not
the loss of this case, to which he had
paid such close attention, brought any
thing more than the casual defeat will
never be known. ~
His death created immense surprise,
as it was not even known he was ailing,
any more than any man who had lived
and labored 40 long would. The an
nouncement of his death from failure of
the heart created intense aBtonishment,
and at this hour details are very meager.
Shortly after l o'clock this morning
the general was attacked with fit of
coughing, which awakened man serv-
ant who always occupied an adjoining
room. He at once hastened to the gem
erals bedside and asked him what
was the matter. The general mean
while had gone to the bath room
adjoining, WHITTIER the valet hastened,
and offered assistance. The general
mentioned that his expectoration was
colored with blood. He did not appear
to think seriously of the matter, how
ever, and after his valet assisted him to
bed he said: "That's all, West, you
need not do anything more," and sppa-
rently went to sleep.
He lay on the bed but few moments,
however, when his heavy breathing
again aroused alarm. Mr.. Janier Dunn,
q nephew by marriage, who resided in
the same house, started out in search of
medical assistance. 1t was fully ID
minutes before he could secure aid,
and then when be returned with Or.
Luce, the assietant of DR.. Bayne, the
family physician, 1t was seen tbss the
general was already in extremis. The
doctor 80 informed Buffers two nieces,
Miss Stephens and Mrs. Dunn, who
were at his bedside, and death ensued
almost Immediately.

PARIS, Jan. 10.-The ministry re-
signed this morning owing to differ
euces in the cabinet over the arrest yes
terday of ex-Minister of Public Works
Baihut, and other matters. People
thronged the streets and the greatest ex-
citement prevailed. The police are out
in force dispensing the crowds.
Although the resignation of the min
istry caused widespread excitement,
there was no attempt to create disorder.
The order prevailing throughout the
city is due to the fact that the lawless
element well knows that any disturb
ance will be put down with strong
hand by the military.
NEW CABINET FORMED.
President Carrot charged Ribot with
the duty OF forming new cabinet.
The new cabinet organized by Ribot
is: Ribot, premier and minister OF the
interior; Develle, foreign affairs
Tlrard, finance; Borgeois, justice; Lo-
zillon, war; Burdeau, colonies and
marine; Dupuy, instruction; Viger,
agriculture; Siegfried, commerce
Viette, public works.
CHARGES AGAINST cARNoT AND RIBoT,
1t is openly charged that Ribot and
Carnot are not in earnest in the Panama
prosecutions and have no intention of
bringing the bribe-takers to trial, and
that the prosecution Of De Lesseps, Fon-
tame, Cottu and EiAel will be
nothing more than farce. 1t ia also
charged that efforts are being made to
postpone the exposure of certain guilty
parties until the law of prescription has
taken effect.
THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES REoRGANIZED.
The recess OF the chamber of deputies
ended today and the house resumed it's
sittings. After the usual formalities of
the opening were complied with, Flo
quet was presented for re. e.election to the
presidency of the chamber. This
evoked somewhat unexpected and vehe-
ment opposition, and Floquet withdrew
his candidacy. The Republican group
then nominated M. Casimir Perier, and
he was elected by majority Of 155.
During the proceedings ia the cham
ber, group of Is men, proclaiming
themselves Anarchists, gathered in
front of the building, and refusing to
move on when ordered By the police,
were arrested.
At IL O'Clock this evening it is learned
M. Burdeau has refused the ministry of
marine, and the portfolio will probably
be offered to Admiral Gervais.
