BLAND SElGNlORAGE BILL.
A Southerner Gives a Little In
struction on the Subject.

To the Editor Of the Sun-Slr'
In order that all "crass Ignorance

South, aud to question the vacuum
or "minus quantity of the other side
of tha vacuum" which Southern rep
resentatives are reputed DESTROYS to

per tuition OF New Workers on the
pending Bland bill, l beg the space
to submit the following
Bill II. F. 1856. reported Feb.
ruary s, Congressional Record,
p 24l6, proposes TO direct the
secretary OF the treasury to issue
ordinary silver certificates of the
United States to an amount equal to
the coming value of this silver
ballion on hand in excess OF the
sum of the treasury notes issued
therefor and outstanding. The
secretary's estimate of this excess
thus to be available for certificates
is S55, 156,6S Against the said
outstanding treasury notes there are
already coined and held absolutely
idle in the treasury $50, oS7, 2S5
(Mint report fof 1898, p. 81 lnas-
much as the present secretary
restricts himself in the redemptlons
of these treasury notes to gold
alone, it follows that these $50, 600,
600 of standard silver dollars be

redemptions of these proposed new
silver certificates, if tbs b and bill
is enacted. Section , Of the bill
directs the coming of all the
remainder Of the silver bullion on
hand as rapidly as convenient, the
additional silver dollars to he

Gates as rapidly only as treasury |
notes shall be retired.
Thus the utmost possible increase
of money in the L intel States
under the Bland bill would be
800, 900, 900, and the gradual sub
stitution of silver certificates for the
1890 treasury notes would be no
faster than the said notes coma in
voluntarily for gold redemp,ions or
in payment of public dues Inas
much, therefore as the present
aggregate of silver dollars atloat, by
CON and certificate and ia the treas

posed increase of coin and paper -

whether he would be candidate for

he readily replied: ''I am q
candidate for the Office of Governor,
subject to the action of the Reform con-
ventlon, which Is TO be held some time
during the spring or summer. Permit
me TO say that the other gentlemen,
whose names have been mentioned for

to interfere with that friendship. The
success of the Reform movement, is, in
my judgment, paramount to the success

movement is what we are all striving for,
There is too much peace and unity

Another Atlanta Sensation,

ATLANTA, Jan. 17-WiIl n Givens,
who has no settled occupation, was ar
rested here this afternoon for attempt
ing to kill his wife. About 3 o'clock
this morning, Mrs. Givens was W ,ked
from deep sleep by the loud report Of
pistol in her room. She sprang up
wildly, instantly awake. She screamed
aloud and threw out her arms for her
husband, whom she supposed to be
sleeping by her side. He was not there
and she screamed all the louder at find
ing herself all alone and unprotected.
A second and third pistol shot quick
ly followed and Mrs. Givens felt a
stinginR sensation about her head. She
fell back upon her pillow which was
rapidly rcddening with her own blood.
She heard the voice of her husband q
few feet away calling to her not to be
frightened and not to scream. She fell
back upon her pillow exhausted and
begging for mercy. Her husband
made light and very much excited,
walked over to her side and discovt red
that she was shot. lie helped her to
stop the flow of blood and after day
light went in search of physician, 1t
was not until 8 o'clock that Givens tel
ephoned to the police. Officers Barrett
and Bone placed him under arrest and
carried him to police headquarters sus.
pecting him of having done the shoot
ing. GiVens protested innocence aud
said that he was awakened by the
shots. He sprang out of bed at the
sound of the first shot and could dis
tinctly see that some one was firing
through the window from the outside.
Hetried to shield himself from the fly
ing bullets. and not until the firing
ceased did he make any noise. Then
he called to his wife admuuiShlng her
to quiet herself and stop screaming.
Mrs. Givens indicated to the officers
her belief that her husband had done
the shooting. She felt morally certain
of it, although the evidence was mainly
circumstantial.
Officer Bone believes there IS no
doubt Of Given's guilt. He says he
carefully measured some foot prints
beneath the window and compared the
measurements with the dimensions of
Givens' feet and the two correspond
exactly. lie also accurately measured
the horse tracks in the yard and after.
wards measured the feet of horse in a
lot which adjons Givens' home, and
found that the feet and the tracks were
of the same size exactly. Officer Bone
says he thinks Givens took the horse
out Of the lot and tied it outside his
gate intending to made his escape on it
after killing his wife. An exhaustive
search was made for the pistol, but it
was not found. He has employed Mr..
+. M. Mitchell to defend him. Mrs.
Givens says that her husband was al
ways jealous Of her and frequently &C.
cused her of receiving visits from a
well known physician, which insinua-
ton she denounced as without founda.
ton. This feeling of jealousy was a
frequent source of trouble.

Irby on the Anxious Bench,

WAsHINGTON, January 1G.-There
was mysterious meeting this after.
noon in Senator Irby's committee room
at the Capitol. Early in the day Sena-
tor lrby informed your correspondent
that he was preparing letter which he
proposed to send to all of the leading
South Carolina papers for publication.
lie said 1T related to the political sltua-
tion in the State, and he was anxious
that'lt should be sent by telegraph.
Later he took luncheon with John

senator and his friends were heading
Tor the Senator's committee room,
which is in the basement Of the Senate
wing. 1t is understood that the Sena.
tor Is somewhat worried by the stories
IN circulation concerning him at home,
and he fears some of his political assO-
clates are disposed to misrepresent him,
and he feels that he must be up and
doing or his political picture may be
turned toward the wall" The confer
ence this afternoon was probably to
agree upon the terms to be employed
in the Senator's proclamation and
probably he feels that he needs the
sanction of some of his Congressional
associates in the undertaking. Repre-
sentative Shell was not invited to the
conference, and it Is not known wheth.
