THE REPEAL BILL PASSED.

After a two-weeks debate the
house balloted on the silver ques-
tion last Monday. When the
speaker raped for order at noon
nearly every seat in the hall was
filled. The resolution contained
In the order of procedure on the
question was reported by the clerk,
providing for vote first upon the
Tree coinage of silver at the pres
INT ratio of 16 to /. Then the
Wilson bill repeating the silver
purchase clause of the Sher-
man act was read, and Bland
offered his first amendment for free
. coinage at the rate of 16 to l..
This was defeated by a vote of 1913
to 226, amid applause from the
anti-silver men, who did not ex-
pect so large majority.
Bland asked yea and nay vote
on the question of free coinage at
the ratio of II to 1 and secured it..
The result was yeas, 100; nays,
240. On this vote besides the loss
of the populists, the members of
that party Withholding their votes,
were several negative votes from
those who voted in favor of the
ratio of Is to 1. When it came 10
the Is to l amendment the chorus
of dissatisfaction which arose when
Hatch of Missouri insisted on the
demand for the yeas and nays
showed that the house was in no
temper for delay. The vote result
ed-ayes 1O2, nays 239. The vote
on the 19 to l amendment was
ayes 1O5, noes 237. The slignter
gains made on higher ratios were
not unexpected by some of the
leaders. and it was the published
impression Of these that a ratio of
90 to 1, the next amendment Offer
ed, would poll the largest vote
recorded in favor of free coinage.
The result of the call was ayes
119. noes 222.
The amendment to re- enact the
Bland d-Allison act was defeated
1876 to 213. The Wilson repeal
bill then passed-ayes 239, noes
40.
The detailed vote, so far, has
been received only on the 16-to-1
amendment and on the final pass
age of the bill. Hermann and
Ellis voted s.No" in both these
instances, and, in accordance with
views already expressed, voted for
one of the ratio amendments.
Representative Wilson of Wash
ington surprised many of his con-
stituents by voting ON the silver
side. He voted SO in compliance |
with a large petition from his
state.

THE VOORHEES, BILL.

The introduction by the senate
finance committe of bill to repeal
the compulsory purchase clause of
the Sherman law is significant for
the reason that when the senate
committees were reorganized
some months ago it was recognized
that the committee OH finance had
a pro silver majority. The bill
reported was introduced by Sena-
ator Voorhees,, the chairman of the
committee. The bill provides that
so much of the act of July II,
1890, as "directs the secretary of
the treasury to purchase from time
to time silver bullion to the aggre-
gate amount of 100000 ounces,
or so much thereof as may be
offered in each month, at the mar
ket price thereof, not exceeding
81 for 371.25 grains of pure silver,
and to issue in payment for such
purchases treasury notes of the
United States, be and the same is
hereby repealed"
AS far as the specific provision
regarding repeal goes the Voor-
hees bill is practically identical
with the Wilson bill passed by the
house. 1t differs from the house
bill i'll the statement appended,
which declares it to be '.the policy
of the United States to continue
the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, and TO coin both
gold and silver into money of
equal intrinsic and exchangeable
value, such equality to be secured
through international agreement,
or by such safeguards of legislation
as will insure the maintenance of
the parity in value of the coins of
the two metals and the equal pow
er of every dollar at all times in
the markets and in the payment
of debts" and that ''efforts of the
government should be steadily
directed to. the establishment of
such safe system of bimetalism
as will maintain at all times the
equal power of every dollar coined
or issued by the United States in
the markets and in the payment
of debts" This declaration in it's
present form, it will be seen,
amounts to mere expression OF
legislative opinion not involving
any distinctively legislative act.
From the standpoint of the effect
OF the measure as possible enact
ment, therefore, it may be regard
ed as bill for the unconditional
repeal of the silver-purchase clause
of the Sherman law. The action
of the senate in relation to this
measure is awaited with interest.
for upon the action of the senate
the success or failure of uncondi-
tional repeal now rests.

fects have been planned on a scale
that has never known a parallel in any
similar exposition. Masses of color,
flaming as the sunset, or delicate as

lawns in front of the building and on
the wooded island. Fountains, garden

fects will tempt the visitor who is
weary of the magniicence in other
parts of the grounds. Inside the build

Wonderful Display Being Made by the
Pomologists of the North.
In the south curtain of the Horticul-
tural building Minnesota is preparing
an extremely interesting genealogical
exhibit This display takes added in
tercst from the fact that Minnesota is
the extreme northern state where
pom aceous fruits are perfectly devel-
oped. More than 500 square feet have
been assigned that state. An appro-
priation of five thousand dollars was
made by the Minnesota legislature for
the exhibit. which consists of every
variety of fruit grown in the state, in
Guiding apples, plums, pears, grapes,
peaches and small fruits of all kinds
The exhibit occupies the central por-
ton of the east side. and from the
unique manner of its arrangement will
be one of the most attractive displays
in the section devoted to pomology
Shelves will be arranged inside the
pavilion to accommodate seven hum
dred plates of fruit. The shelves will
be backed by mirrors which will re-
fleet light upon the fruit, thereby
frightening their colors and producing
an illusion as to the number of speci-
ne on each plate Refrigerator cases
will ye used to show the different fruits
in season. and large refrigerator,
twentythree feet long. will demon
strate the cold-storage methods of pre-
serving the luscious morscls- A col
lection of photographs of fruit scenes

hibit
At each side OF the main exhibit will
be placed revolving stands five feet
wide and eight feet high They will
be kept in constant motion by electric
motors Upon them, in pyramid form,
viii be placed small fruits, and at the
base of the pyramid will be native
Towering plants and trailing vines
Every thing employed in preparing for
the exhibit Is from Minnesota, includ-
ing the lumber. paint and hardware.

brought here from that state. To

CHAPTER XIII.
IN CAMP MORTON.

Packed in with companions in misery,
on the prison train, that frosty Balti-
more Sunday, Evan Fauntleroy had
wrapped himself in his new-found ulster
and closed his eyes. But wide-awake
thoughts peopled his brain; and fire.
quently his hand crept to the indicated
pocket, feeling for the suspicious paper
barely detected under the heavy cloth.
But, through warp and wool, the little
paper actually burned the anxious boy.
Was it a hint to escape? he thought.
If so, perhaps he was losing the precious
moment No; it must be news of Car
olyn Clay-how she had managed to
elude her careful captors. Or perhaps
that paper was a trap, only to lure him
to detection and rougher treatment.
No, indeed The eyes of the girl had
told him he could trust the writer. And
what eyes they werei He could see
them now, through his closed lids; and
he rambled in thought after that ro-
nance, as the sun sank lower in that
west. towards which the train was
whirling him so fast With the fading
light anxiety came back, and he felt
once more for the paper. eagerly, but
cautiously, slipping his hand in the
pocket and breaking the threads where
they felt weakest Then, with eyes

ago was nothing but snowbanks there
are now rows upon rows OF plants,
lined out to get their rootings for plant

there are beds and plots covered with
the tender nurslings that are to beautl-

halL Within the great lighthouses
countless mum bers of pots and baskets,
containing rare plants and flowers
from almost every state in the union,

their turn to be transpIanted to the

out the mammoth nursery huge palms
rear their majestic plumes. and tender.
clinging vines from tropical climes are
being trained up the pillars and sup
ports of the building, giving the be-
holder foretaste of the rare treat in
store for HIM when the summer season

OF the thousands upon thousands of
people who visit the grounds nowadays
very few miss visiting the beauty spot
of the fair. There is much to attract
and interest in the great structures of
the other departments, but nature is
the greatest artist, after all, and in her
handiwork mankind finds the greatest
pleasure and enjoyment. and SO from

Women In Politics

TOPEKA, Kan April 6.-Returns from
the municipal elections held Tuesday
show that the women all over the state
took advantage of the opportunity to
vote, and it is universally conceded
that the woman's suffrage movement
has received great impetus Repub-
Hcan politicians and newspapers
are claiming that the returns show
a great victory for them and an
Endorsement of the course pur-
sued by the repu blieans in the legisla-
ture- The populists, on the other hand,
declare that the election results have
no political significance. and are even
more eager than the republicans to
give the women an opportunity to vote
for state Offices They contend that
the farmers wives will turn out on
election day en- masse, and that their
vote in the state would be easily
doubled by confers2ng the right OF suf-
frage on women
