7HB SHERNANHLVERL LAW.
A Measure to Secure It's Repeal
Before the Committee.
A CONCLUSION REACHED
The New Bill VIII New be Presented
in the House.
In the Senate Mr.. Allison Attempts to
Set Trap the Silver Cues
ton in Substitute for the
Mcpherson Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The House
Committee on Banking and Currency to-
day, by a decisive vote, pushed the
Andrew banking and bullion purchase
repeal bill, together with the Gale amend
ment for the free coinage of silver bullion
DOW in the treasury through the commit
tee and ordered report to the House.
This was done in pursuance OF the plan
of the opponents of the Sherman silver
law to get the repeal bill on the calendar
at the earliest possible moment in order
to work out practical legislation at this
session if possible.
Another significant feature of the meet
ing was that of motion by MIR. Cox OF
Tennessee to carry out the state bank
plank in the Chicago platform, which
was defeated, IL to /.
Mr.. Townsend of Colorado offered the
Stewart free coinage bill, but this was
voted down.
Mr.. Townsend also moved that the
committee permit those in favor of free
coinage an opportunity to be heard be-
fore the committee, and that the Secre-
tary of the treasury, the director of the
mint and others be asked to appear. A
majority was evidently opposed to all de-
lay, and the motion was defeated, s to 4.
The members who voted in favor of the
bill were Bacon, Wike, Gate, Dickerson,
Sperry, Cobb, Walker, of Massachusetts,,
aud Russell, of Connecticut.
Those voting against were Cox, OF Ten
nessee, Kendall and Townsend, and Bro
sius, OF Pennsylvania, not voting. Mem
hers not present were Gantz, of Ohio,
Bazey and Henderson, of Illinois.
The bill agreed upon provides that ma
tional banks, upon deposit OF interest
bearing United States bonds, are to re-
ceige circulating notes 10 the full par
value of the bonds deposited. CAT present
go per cent. is the limit Section 2 re-
duces the tax on national bank circula-
ton from u to IA per cent. each half year.
Section three repeats the Sherman silver
that the secretary of the treasury
rshall coin into silver dollars so
much of the silver bullion purchased
under provisions OF this act as may be
necessary to provide for the redemption
of treasury notes herein provided for, and
coin from time to time into standard sill
yer dollars the remainder OF such bullion
for use of the treasury as speedily as de-
mands upon the treasury may render
practicable payment of the treasury of
such standard silver dollars, and such
standard silver dollars coined under the
provisions OF this act for uses of the treas
ury shall be covered into the treasury as
miscellaneous receipts, and any gain or
seigniorage arising from such coinage
shall be accounted for and paid into the
treasury. -
The minority announce that they will
fight the bill bitterly.

AT DEATHS DOOR.
James G.. Blaine is Slowly Nearing
the End.
A Change for the Worse Occurred Last
Night and His Death Expected
Any Moment

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Doctor johnson
after remaining in the Blaine house all
night, left shortly after O'Clock this
morning. He said Blaine enjoyed a
peaceful sleep during the night and was
only awakened at such times as neces-
sary to give him medicine and nourish-
ment. The doctor puts a much more
hopeful aspect on the case this morning.
but will not go into details further than
to say the night had been satisfactory
one.
At O'Clock an attendant at the door of
the Blaine mansion said the patient was
resting very easily, indeed. Blaine was
showing remarkable vitality. In yester-
days sinking spells it was thought he
could not survive, but his system re-
sponded to remedies administered with
much readiness.
At II O'Clock DR.. Johnson, who has
Just come from visit to the statesman S
bedside. said: ssBlaiue is very much
better. He is as well as he was four
days ago and has entirely recovered from
the relapse of Saturday night and yester-
day morning. He is quite cheerful, and
feel very much encouraged respecting
him. Members of the family and others
spoke in the same strain.
One of the closest friends of Blaine,
who was admitted to the sick chamber
last night, said today: ssThe light of
life OF Blaine is going out. I do not
think he will survive the next twenty
four hours. His present condition is a
struggle between life and death, which
is likely to terminate any time. He is
apparently oblivious of his surroundings,
but frequently Touses from a comatose
state, and though too weak to manifest
interest in the family, yet gives evidence
of consciousness. -
DIR. Johnston paid visit to Blaine be-
tween Sand 6 o. clock. He said Mr.. Blaine
had rested comfortably all day and was
much better. He rallied considerably and
there was no reason, SO far as the doctor
could see, to expect fatal termination
during the night.
DR.. Hyatt. after visit, reiterated what
DR.. Johnston had said about the condi-
ton of Blaine during the day and added
that there were no signs OF fatal turn
during the night.
At 1 O'Clock this (Tuesday) morning
the doctors gave out the following bulle-
tin: 'sMr. Blaine passed comfortable
day until clock last evening when he
became not so we'll. At this hour, a. M. !,
he is still losing strength. -
At 8 O'Clock this Tuesday morning
there is every appearance of quiet within
the Blaine mansion. Blaine's physicians
on being asked as to whether there was
any immediate danger of Blaine's death
replied: tile is liable to die any time. -

FOUND DEAD.
An Old Citizen of Cache County Suicides
by Shooting.

MENDoN, Utah, Jan. Especial. i
Andrew Bigler, one of our most prominet
citizens, who was also known throughout
the territory as a great horseman, sui
cided yesterday afternoon by shooting
himself through the heart with shotgun.
The family had left home during the
morning to make visit with some
friends, Mr.. Bigler remaining at home.
At 8 O'Clock in the afternoon his son and
son-in-law returned home, and not find
ing him in the house, went to barn, and
to their horror found the old gentleman
lying on his side dead.
Alongside lay shotgun. Investigation
showed that he had placed the breech of
the gun against some nay and the muzzle
against his left breast, pushing the trig-
ger with stick, the entire load entering
his breast, killing him instantly. He left
note giving financial trouble as the rea-
son for his rash act. Mr.. Bigler was one
of the early settlers OF Utah and he was a
very familiar figure in all parts of this
country

Kansas Populists Witness the
Inaugural of Their Governor.
REJOICING IN ILLINOIS
A Great Gathering OF Democrats at
the State Capital.
Letter of Regret from President-Elecr
Cleveland - The Vice President-Elect
Addresses the Electors of His State
The Electoral Colleges Meet

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 9.-The triumph
of the Populists of Kansas made possible
at the polls in November was fulfilled to-
day. The ceremony took place in the
hall of the house of representatives and
was witnessed by probably the greatest
crowd ever assembled in Kansas on a
similar occasion. Precisely at noon the
old and new officers appeared and took
seats at the right of the stand. At 1910
j. w. Briedental, chairman of the Peo-
ple's party state central committee and
master of ceremonies, introduced Rev.
W. T. Todd, who invoked the divine
blessing. Then Governor Humphrey,
who spoke briefly, congratulated his sue
cessor. When Governor Lewelling ap-
peared the first real hearty demonstration
of the occasion was shown. In his ad-
dress he said, in part:
1.-THE survival of the fttest'' is gov
philosophy must give place to govern
ment which recognized the human broth
erhood to protect the rights of the laborer
and producer. Sectional animosities must
be forgotten. The state, he continued,
was greater than the party. Buta citizen
is greater than the state, while the family
a citizen produces is the priceless jewel of
our civilization. The problem was now
to make it possible for citizen to live by
his own labor; if it fails OF these things it
ceases to be of advantage to citizens. He
is absolved from his allegiance and is no
longer held by civil compact, but the gov
eminent is not failure.
''This is the generation which has come
to the rescue. Conscience is in the saddle
and shall be emphasized by the dawn of a
new era, in which the people shall reign,
in which the hard hand of want shall not
be outstretched for charity, when lib
erty, equality and justice shall have per-
manent abiding places in this republic"
The oath of Office was then administered
by Chief Justice Horton.

nounced the action of the electoral col
lege. Mr.. Stevenson replied in brief
address of thanks, then had pleasant
talk with all electors and in the course of
a general talk said he was satisfied the
last Democratic convention did the wise
and proper thing when it voted for a
strong resolution on the question of the
tariff. 1t at once stamped the representa-
tives of the party as having honest convic-
tons and the courage to express them.
