only satisfactory substitute indicated
by them, free coinage, was the very
measure most feared by the country,
as it would bring with it the single
silver standard. The coin would then
be legal tender, but would be. by no
means. a measure of value. No man
outside of an insane asylum would re-
ceive the silver coins of Mexico, India
or Peru for more than their weight
value in bullion.
After quoting statement of the
great diminution in the cost of produc-
ing silver of late years, Mr. Morrill,
said that beyond doubt the cheaper
cost had had the natural effect of re-
ducing the value of silver, and that il.
by any means, the product was now
to be considerably increased, an equal
or greater reduction in value would
follow. There had been from 1878 to
1898 some s42O, OOO,O 900 silver dollars
coined with difference between their
face value and their present market
value OF SIG, 900, OOO a depreciation of
over forty per cent. The stock of
bullion and silver dollars now on
hand, Il placed in the hands of re.
ceiver, would exhibit a melancholy
loss. The delusive efforts to enhance
the value of silver showed that the
universal law of supply and dema nd
was still invincible and could not be
set aside even by the dynamics of legal
tender laws.
The bill in the interest of the Cali
fornia midwinter international exhi.
bition authorizing the transfer to San
Francisco from Chicago of the dutiable
goods on exhibition and of the foreign
employees was taken up and passed.
The vote on the Lee Mantle ease was
postponed and Mr.. Vance, chairman
of the committee on elections, argued
against the majority report and
against the right of the governors to
appoint the senator after the legisla-
lures have failed to act.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2L--There was
forwarded from the interior depart
ment to President Cleveland at Gray
Gables yesterday a formidable docu-
ment, some two feet in length and six
inches thick, for his examination. All
that is needed is his signature to make
it the official proclamation opening up
for settlement the Cherokee outlet.
After much consultation, research
and trouble the secretary of the IN
terror and the commissioner of public
lands have hit upon a scheme which
they believe will largely prevent the
gross frauds which have heretofore
been perpetrated in settling new
countries There will be the same
mad rush when the Cherokee Quiet is
opened that was witnessed in the
opening of Oklahoma, but there will
be vast difference in the makeup of
the prospective homesteaders Here
is the entirely new plan, which has
practically been agreed upon:
Before anyone can cross into the
new lands he must be provided with
certificate from one of the land offices,
showing that nnder the laws of the
United States he is entitled to a home
stead. In order that the government
officials may recognize him at once he
must have on the lapel of his coat
badge which the government
will provide for that purpose. The
land officers will be supplied
with all the records of past openings,
showing each of the claimants. BY
this means the old timers who have
made the race at every public land
opening during their generation will
be etfectually frozen out BY the
preliminary examination at the
various land Offices, the town-sitc
spectators who have given so much
trouble in the past will be squelched
and bona fide settlers protected.

at the Hutchinson Reunion.
HUTCHINSON, Kan, Aug. Elk
Senator John j. Ingalls, was the prin-
cipal attraction at the G. A. r. re-
union here yesterday. Among other
things he said:
ut has been reported to me that
there were many members of the
Grand Army who voted to bring about
the present condition of affairs and
place the party IN power which has
placed Hoke Smith in a position to cut
off the l.lJO soldiers already dropped
from the pension rolls in Kansas"
He then spoke Of politics being
barred from these reunions, and said
1t meant that the organization should
not be used for securing any partisan
advantage. He said that no comrade
need renounce his political convic.
tions, however, but had right to be.
long to whatever party he chose.
THAT is what that war was fought
for" he continued, "and stand here
as stand everywhere, as have stood
always, as expect to stand always
in the future, on this platform and on
every platform as Republican"
in referring to the policy OF the
present administration, he said: ~

sion system of the coantry is to be
challenged from this time forward.
The right of any man to be there is to
be doubted and the liberality of the
system is to be stopped. have often
wondered how ] should have felt if
the results Of the war should have
been otherwise"
Here he brG,,::e away from the non
political program and said: What
l do blame are the men who believed
the other way and allowed this party
to come into power again do not
pretend to say that it desires restOra-
ton of the old condition of things,
and dissolution Of the union; |
don't pretend 70 say that It would

The Miners Accept Devlin's Offer and the
Trouble Is Undoubtedly Mt an End.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 21.-The
plan adopted by G. ]. Devlin, manager
of the Santa Fe railway coal interests,
for settling the coal miners strike in
Southern Kansas has succeeded and
the Santa Fe's mines will be in opera
ton next week. Major Mcdowell
Of the Missouri Pacific stated that
if the Santa Fe miners would go 10
work on Mr.. Devlin's terms the Mis-.
souri, Pacific would give its men an
opportunity to follow their example
at once. Several of the small oper-
ators are already preparing for similar
arrangements, and Mr.. Devlin's pre-
diction that half the coal miners
In Kansas will be digging coal by
Wednesday seems to be founded on
good reasons
Mr.. Devlin arrived from Pittsburg
this morning and spent an hour at the
Union depot before leaving for Topeka.
THE strike is over as far as we are
concerned" he said. Il went to
Frontenac last night and met the
men, not a committee but the men
who dug coal for us before and will
dig again / stated my proposition to
them clearly and we talked the mat
ter over. The men said they were all
anxious to go to work and agreed
unanimously to the terms we arranged.
They are to be paid fifty cents ton
for mine run coal and premiums at
five cents a hundred pounds
when there is more than fifty per cent
lump in the ton as it comes from the
mine. There will be no pit commit
tee, as it is not necessary, and when
there is anything for the operators to
discuss with the miners they will talk
to the men, not to an executive board.
We sign contracts with the men to be
in force until May, 1895, or two years
from the time The strike began"
Manager John Perry of the Central
Coal and Coke company says that his
company does not propose to meet
MIR. Devlin's terms.
