promise to offer, and would accept

the government mintage that gave the
legal tender quality to gold, as we'll as
to silver ana ho illustrated his argu-
ment by the exhibit OF q gold eagle and
bar OF gold OF exactly the same weight
and purity. The eagle was legal tender
in payment OF all debts, but tho bar
was not "Why is it." he said, that
this coin is money and that this bar is

he said, with an air OF surprise; and he
was advised by Mr.. Butler that ho had
better keep his eye on it.
Having recovered the bar, ho said that
tho coin was money and that tho bar
was commodity, and that therefore
they We're not OF eqAal value. The coin
was worth $40 and the bar was worth
only IS 50. So far as am concerned,
the Sherman law shall never bo repeal
cd unless We have the law OF our faith

unconditional repeal OF the Sherman
law would mean the gold standard.
Mr., Pettcr then went on to Crlicise
Mr.. Voorhees, ior what he called This
political aposIaCy.'
Drifting into a discussion Of his reso-
luton as to the national sanks violat-
ing the law in rCIuslngto pay depositors'

he did not mean to consuTe tho comp.
troler OF tho currency, the secretary Of
the treasury nor the banks. lie merely
wanted an Official statement oil the
facts, lie believed that in the present
condition of things the New York banks
had done Just what they had to do, Just
what they ought to have done.
lie was followed by MIR. Allen, who
addressed the senate in support OF his
amendment to add to the Voorhees, bill
q provision for free coinage at the ratio
OF lG to /, and for tho coinage without
unnecessary delay OF tho silver bullion
owned by tho government.
The Peoples party, ho said, was not
camoring for silver because it pre-
ierred it to gold, but because it was
convinced that there was not gold
enough in the world to do the worlds
business. He went on to argue against
the unconditional repeal oil tho Sher-
man act, which was, he said, the last
fcobo barrier between the patriotic and
Industrious classes OF people and that
horde OF ofinsolCnt, aggressive and raven.

with will to set canvas enough to keep

chairman of the committee on privileges
and elections, in behalf of the minority of
the committee, to-day submitted to the
Senate a report on the case of Hon. Lee
Mantle, finding that he is not entitled to
take his seat as senator from Montana The
report is signed by Senators Vance, Gray,

Senator Hoar, the minority report deals
directly only with the claims Of Mr. Mantle.
but both are intended to cover as we'll the
cases OF all three Of the appointed senators
-Messrs Mantle, Beckwith and Allen.
The question presented, according to the
minority report, is could the governor of a
state appoint a senator at the beginning Of
a new term. the legislature being in session
and refusing or failing to elect. The re-
port quotes the constitutional provision
and act of 1866 relative to the election and
appointment Of senator's, and then contends
that the original terms OF senators must
begin by men chosen by the legislature.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 2S.-The
announcement Of w. H. Sesmans' appoint

the attorneys to-day when it was learned
that Judge jenkins had not resigne Z.
Owing to the pending business, the Judge
will be unable to send in his resignation
before the end Of the week Therefore
Mr.. Seaman has been appointed to a posi-
tion in which there is no vacancy. The
case is said to be without parallel, and the
prevalent opinion among lawyers is that
some one has made a mistake. Should Mr.
Seaman be confirmed by the Senate before
Judge jenkins resigns, the point is raised
that there might be a question as to
the legality of the commis sioa issued
under such circumstances. Judge jenkins

Place-The Matter Taken Up by the
Young Lady's Friende.
ATLANTA, GA, March 2s.-The police
court was crowded to-day in expectation Of
sensational developments in the trial Of ).
NJ. Burbank, a well-known young insurance
man and leader in music circles. Last
night young Burbank slapped the face of
Prof. William c. Rhem, who is regarded as
che foremost pianist Of the city, and has
reputation as an artist in other cities of the
state. The difficulty grows out Of Rheims
familiarity with Miss Marie Thomas, a
young lady visiting here. Miss Thomas is
q daughter of Dr. Thomas Of Leon, H.,
wealthy aud prominent physician. khem
became acquainted with her as a professor
ia Prof. Constantine S.ernberg's music
school In this city four years ago, the young
lady having bsen sent here by her parents

here she went TO Europa to complete her

company with her mother en- route home
from Florida. Miss Thomas made some
warm friends during her term at the Stern
berg school and she was prevailed upon to
remain here awhile to renew their acquaint-
auce, her mother proceeding on her way
home. Prof. Rhem called upon the young
lady soon after her arrival and has since
been paying her marked attention. The
professor seems. however, TO have lost what
ever sense Of politeness or propriety he may
have had in the past and several days ago
entered a whisky store on Decatur street
and called the young lady up by telephone.
Steve Ryan, Atlante's high roller came
in and the professor introduced him by
telephone. The young lady learned the
character of the place IN which Rhem was
when he called her to the telephone and is
not st all pleased. Then she became indig-
nant on account Of the introduction to Steve
Ryan and Immediately wrote Rhem note
notifying him that he had forfeited all
claims to her acquaintance.
RHEM DEMANDS AN APOLOGY.
The professor then added insult to in
jury by demanding an apology of Miss
Thomas for the contents of her note. II she
declined to apologize within an hour he
notified her that he would bring action
against her for defamation Of character.
The young lady handed the insulting eDistle
to Mr., Burbank, who hunted the professor
up last night and slapped bis face. Rhem
had Burbank arrested, and when it became
known this evening that he had
instructed the police TO bring Miss Thomas
into court aud thus humiliate her
there was strong talk Of teaching him a
severe lesson by the young lady's friends.
In order to escape the unpleasantness of the |
scandal Miss Thomas left for her home this |
evening. Rhsm came to Atlanta from New
York. He was well received here, but it
will be a good while before he RECEIVERS |
from the effect OF his conduct in this affair.
