metalliats wait upon every candidate ~
the general election In order to ascertain
the opinions OF such candidates on the
silver question, with the view OF sup
porting or opposing them.
Following is the cabiegram sent to
the lord mayor from Washington:
eve desire to express our cordial gym
pathy with the movement to promote
the restoration OF silver by inter.
national agreement, in aid OF
which we understand meeting 10
held under your lords hips presidency.
We believe free coinage OF both gold and
silver by an international agreement,
with o fixed ratio, would secure to mau-
kind the blessing OF sufficient volume
OF metallic money and, which ie hardly
less important, secure to the world OF
trade immunity for violent exchange
huctuation."
The document was signed be the fol.
lowing senators who voted for the repeal
of the Sherman law: John Sherman,
W. B. Allison, D. w. Voorhees,. George
+. Hoay, Nelson w. Aldrich, David b.
Hill, Edward Murphy, A. P. German,
0. II. Plstt, Calvin Brice. Joseph Carey,
William Frye, Q. X. Davis, nj. Cullom,
Henry Cabot Lodge.
Silver is unchanged and steady. Bal.
tours speech on bimetallism is the chief
topic OF conversation. The continued
depression naturally helps the discussion
OF bimetallic proposals. The amount OF
bullion that went into the Bank of Eng
land on balance today was e2SS, 900.

Sensational Developments in the North
ern Pac ii, Iavastlgation.
CnIcAGO, May Sin the Northern
Pacific investigation today Fred X. Alb
bot announced that he wa9 unaole to
procure the books asked for ON Wednes-
day, ordera having been issued to At
toruey Morris to lock them up. Attor-
ney Petit states that assurances we're
given that Edwin II. Abbot OF Boston
would appear before the court Of inquiry
either in New York or Milwaukee with
the books.
Witness Abbot further testified that
he was unable to find the check book
which he alluded to on Tuesday. The
witness had kept accounts for the West
ern States Construction company, but
he WAS unable to recsll anything about
them. So far az he knew the company
constructed nothing. Mr.. Abbot did
net remember having eeen pool or
syndicate agreement proposing to fur
nieh bonds for the construction OF the
Chicago terminals. 1t was finally de-
cided that Mr. Abbot should be exam
ined in New York.
Edward g. Maaon, formerly secretary
and attorney for the Chicago South
Branch Dock company, testified that
property of this company was sold in
1887 for 1852, 500 cash ut the American
Exchange National bank. The attorney
did not know to whom the sale was
made.
Attorney Petit submitted letter
from D. S. Wegg to Ii. S. Boutelle,
dated March 8, $780, The letter was
written in the office of Barlow & Wet
more. solicitors, in New York. A re-
quest WAS made to have the Chicago
end Northern Pacific railroad organized
Immediately with dummy stockholders.
Advice was given that in the near future
papers would be forwarded, which would
show the sale Of the property. Attorney
Janice L. High was frequently men
toned in this letter, which was signed
D. S. Wegg. A later communication
announced that the property might be
turned over to Henry Willard, Charlie g
L. Colby and Thomas F. Cakes as
trustees,

WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED.


a Big ECnemB Foot In the state OF
Washington.
TACOMA, May 81. @. Dillman, a
prominent business man of Spokane is
in the city maturing a scheme whereby
he proposes TO make big stroke towards
developing Central Washington and at
the same time offer work to all the an
employed laborers in the state. The
scheme is to dig three big irrigating
bitches and pay the employees their
hoard, clothing and ether expenses. and
the balance OF their wsges in interest
bearing bonds, secured by lands along
the bitches.
Mr.. DIllman has two sssoclates-J. NJ.
Buckley of Spokane and III. II. Smith of
this city. They have an option on 3d.
600 acres OF Northern Pacific railroad
land in central Washington. and propose
that the chambers of commerce OF Ia
coma, Seattle and Spokane shall each
appoint one person, the six making q
board OF directors to manage the COM
pany's affairs. The company, if organ
ICED, is to contract for the purchase OF
these 10000 acres, and at once sell
enough on long installments. with
small cash payment, to lay in sufficient
tools and provisions to set the men at
work. Mr.. Dillmen says the land is to
be bought by the company at very rea-
sonable rates. He thinks the enterprise
is already assured. One ditch will ex-
tend from Priest rapids toward Prosser
falls on the west side OF the Columbia
river, and water 80. 600 acies; the second
extends from Wallula to Ainsworth, en-
bracing 5000 acres, and the third leaves

The General Conspicuous by His Abb
sence-No Trouble
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Genersl Coxey
was conspicuous by his absence from
the camp of the Commonwesl army
during the greater part of the day. He
remained at his quarters at the National
hotel for the purpose, mainly,
of attending to matters incl
dent to the proposed removal Of
the army's camping ground to more
heal thy portion OF the city. Whichever
site is finally decided upon, the Coxey-
ties will remain in their present location
as q speaking ground, where the leaders
can address their hearers every night.
1--WE have 525 men in our camp to-
day." said Marshal Browne. ''We have
weeded oct all the bad element. Things
are getting along very smoothly, and
there has been no trouble of any kind"

SAN Francisco, May 3.-Tbere is a

The Charge Against Nancy.

WASHINGTON, May 3.--The charge
upon which Lieut.. James Nancy OF the
Fifth infantry will be court. martialed,
has not been disclosed at the war de-
partment. OF course it ia based upon
the killing of Captain Hedberg, but os
the lieutenant has been acquitted OF
granddaughter by the civil courts, he
will not be tried upon that charge, as it
would amount to placing his lie twice
in jeopardy. Therefore it is probable
the charge will be conducted as to the
prejudice OF order aud discipline in
fatally assaulting Captain Hedberg.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY OFFICES,
The Atlanta Constitution quotes Mr..
Spencer, president of the Southern
Railway, as saying: "You know the law
requires us to make Richmond the reg
ular headquarters of the company.
There is technical point of law in our
chartered rights that STIMULATES that
Richmond shall be the headquarters OF
the system. 1 am sure that we will
have to remain in Washington for
awhile anyhow with the operating de
partment, even if we have to make
Richmond headquarters for the general
offices. But the law requires us to
place headquarters at Richmond, and |
don't see how we are to get around
that later"

Slaughter Continued.

The people of Alexandra
know a good thing when they
see it. They saw the prices
that we're put on the immense
stock Of
Dry Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, &c.,
and they caught on at once.
They came in flocks, in crowds,
in troops, and when they saw
what we we're doing and real
lied the IMMENSE SACRI-
FICE that was being made,
they waded right into the good
things and every one secured
a prize. At this SLAUGHTER
SALE you can't go wrong.
Whatever you buy is a bar
gain which cannot be dupli-
Gated for double the money.
YOU DRAW A PRIZE EV-
cry TIME-THERE ARE
NO BLANKS.
Some good things are gone,
but there are many still here.
Those who couldn't get to see
us last week missed some
good opportunities. But we
are still going to give them a
chance to get even. We have
made another STUPENDOUS
REDUCTION in the prices of
the goods left. This sounds
impossible, but it is true new
ertheless. We want every
thing cleared out from top to
bottom, and the way we are
going to do it is by giving to
each person three times as
much for his money as could
be gotten elsewhere for the
same sum. We have plenty
of choice fabrics yet on hand,
which, if the business had to be
wound up, would command
full price to-day from every
man, woman and child who
needs them. These very same
goods we reduce this week to
less than one-half Of their mar
ket value. Why, it would pay
you to lay in a stock for future
use.
It's like saving up so much money in bank;
you will have to have the goods some time,
and you will have then to pay 100 cents on
the dollar for them. Why not buy them now
and lhus effect great saving? A PENNY
SAVED IS A PENNY MADE. This is An
old saying and a true one, and if you want to
save good hard dollars in these hard times

a FAMILY JAR.-A resident of upper
King street was before Mayor Strauss
this morning on complaint of his wife,
who charged him with assaulting her
and threatening to inflict bodily harm.
The wife asked that her husband be
put under bond to keep the peace.
From the evidence in the case it seems
that marital relations between the
couple have not been of pleasant ma
turc of late, and 4 climax was reached
yesterday when the wife captured let
tiers from another woman in her hus-
bands coat, the latter having mad
vertently hung up that garment with
the telltale missives protruding from
one of the pockets. The benedict,
upon missing the letters, undertook to
regain possession of them by forcibly
taking them from his wife. He failed
signally, when, she claims, he assaulted
her and used threatening language.
She produced the letters in court this
morning. The Mayor fined the accused
So for the assault and held him in the
sum of $500 for his future good beha-
