DESTRUCTION OF MINT DIES.
All Bearing the DATE "IS92" Battered Be.
yond Recognition.

All Bearing the Data 1889" Battered Be.
yond Recognition.
In accordance with the time-honored custom
the ceremony of the destruction of the dies was
observed yesterday, the first working day of the
new year, at the mint at Philadelphia Although
sentimental in sense it is yet quite practical in
its operations.
The scene of the destruction was the black.
smith shop in the basement of the building.
There were present Oliver c. Bosbysheii, ir
private secretary of the superintendent, whom
he represented; AW. Downing. foreman of the
coming department.; Vim. II. Embery, foreman
OF the assay department; Abraham Corson,
foreman of the blacksmith shop; Saml Walker
OF the custodians department and several
Others
Foreman Corson superintendent the work of
destruction. Joseph Hill and John Martin
placed the dies. twenty-five at time. in the
fire until nearly at white heat, and then
Walker and Wellington Morris. with sledge
hammers, by successive blows, obliterated the
face of the stamps.
Before placing them in the fire preparatory to
their destruction each bunch Of dies was care
fully examined by the officials representing the
different departments and their numbers CON-
pared with the registry book. The dies are
made Of the best cast steel The average weight
was above pound There were 495 with an
diverse stamp and 43l with the reverse impress
sion, total Of 926. Their total weight was
about half a ton.
The destruction was thorough in order that
under no circumstances could die be used af-
terward by couaterfeiters. The silver coin
stamps, beginning with dollars. were first de-
stroyed, then followed the half dollars, current
series. quarter dollars and dimes. These included
all stamps from which the halves, quarters and
dimes of new design were coined. The gold coin
stamps were next destroyed, then followed
those for the nickel and tho copper or bronze
pieces. The last to be operated upon were the
stamps which gave the Columbian half dollars
their value. The most interesting stamp OF the
800 odd was the one from which the first Co
lumbar half dollar was coined. Next in value
were those which stamped the Columbian half
dollars numbering 400, 1897 and 1892
The number of coins and their value stamped
by the dies destroyed yesterday are as follows:
Gold pieces, 1855, 1872, value, eli, SAC, 2O2 50;

The Opposition to His Re- Election Has Not
Died Out.

The Opposition to His Re- Election Has Not
Died Out.
Speaker Crisp was on hand today to preside
over the House. During the short time which
he was in his room before the hour of meeting
he received great many calls from members
who were curious to know something about his
interview with MIR. Cleveland. He had nothing
to say on the subject, however, more than what
he had said already. that he had two hours
very pleasant talk with Mr.. Cleveland.
The attempt to work mp an opposition to
Crisp has not been as active since his visit to
New York. but it has not completely died out.
and il is evident that the few men VINO are en-
gagged in trying to make trouble for him are
going to be very reluctant to give it up, even
should they know that they could get no assist
aDce from Mr.. Cleveland. There is no doubt
that Mr.. Cleveland is going to keep his hands
off the fight if one is made.

He Says That But Seven viii Oppose tn.
Latter's Election.

He says fhat ISut seven VIII oppose the
I.atter's Election.
Senator Hill, who has just returned from
Albany. tells his friends here that of all the
democrats in the New York legislature
the friends Of Mr.. Murphy can find but
seven who will oppose Murphy's cleo
ton. With relation to the calling of caucus
for the 10th instead of the 18th Mr.. Hill tells
his friends that the reason for calling it at an
earlier day was that on the 9th Gov. Flower
holds his reception and all the Clsve.
land electors, the entire New York
delegation and most OF the prominent
men of the state will be there, and that it va
bought desirable that the caucus should be
held the day following. while all these men
were assembled, and if there was any public
sentiment antagonistic to Mr.. Murphy that
would be the time when it ought to find express
sion if at all.

Quiet on the Indian Frontier.

No reports of serious trouble with the In
dians have been received at the War Department
or the Interior Department for some
tune, and this remarkable absence of
hostilities is the basis for prediction
among government officials that the Indian
q savage is passing into history. The ap-
proach Of winter hns always heretofore been
the signal for discomfort among the wards Of
the government and when cold weather actually
sets in trouble Is looked for.
The reports Of expected trouble in the In
dian country this winter have been few and not
OF serious nature. A band of seven Apache
rensgades is pillaging in Arizona. which usu-
ally has very full share of Indian warfare,
while in Wyoming there IL some talk Of trou-
bic between the 6hoshones and the
Arspahoes. Altogether, the army people are
very well satisfied with the prevailing peace
fulness among the Indians and they are In
clined to be hopeful that serious hostiiities
such ~ those that occurred during the recent
Sioux war viii occur NO moro.

THE NEXT SENATE.
Democrats Hopeful, but They Will Have to
Make Terms With POpulists.

The democrats are getting more hopeful that
they are going to be able to organize the mex,
Senate, but they feel now that they will be
compelled to make terms with the pop
ulists all along the line in order to do
SO. There is feature of the sit
uation, however, which is occasoning them
some uneasiness. Dispatches today indicate
that in the doubtful states generally as in
Montana. Nebraska and North Dakota, the
democrats are progressing with their plan for
combination with the populists. but the
situation is such to make it possible that in
some cases there will be no election at this term
of the legislature and that the governors may
have an opportunity to appoint Senators tenn
porarily. As the governors Of these states are
republicans this is not an agreeable prospect
for those democrats who really want the Sem

THE OPPOSITION TO MORRISON.
The Acquiescence OF senator Palmer on the

The Acquiescence OF senator Palmer on the
Surface Only.
The acquiescence Of Senator Palmer in the
action of the Illinois democrats in supporting
Mr.. Morrison for the cabinet is said to be on
the surface only. None Of the anti-Morrison
democrats in Illinois are believed to be any more
favorable to Mr.. MorrisOn's Advancement now
than they have been heretofore, and it is
well known that Senator Palmer does not want
and does not expect to see Morrison 60 into
the cabinet. The statement which Mr.. Scott,
who is a Morrison man, got authority from Pal
mer to make to Mr.. Cleveland with relation
to the attitude Of the Palmer people was that
Mr.. Palmer would not oppose the appointment
Of Mr.. Morrison if Mr.. Cleveland himself de-
sired to make it. The Senator would not say.
however, that he was in favor of the appoint
ment, and neither he nor any of his lieutenants
believes that the appointment will be made.
