lratic tariff DILL on the general lines Of
ihe Wilson bill, and approved by the
Finance Committee Of the Senate, the
President ana Secretary 'of the Treas

caucus this evening with but one dis

The bill compromises conflicting
judgments to some extent but main
tains about the general average OF
duties OF the Wilson bill, somewhat
differently distributed, and will, II pass
ed, be accepted by the country as a
sound Democratic measure Of reduced
taxation under which business will

Decidedly Pleased Over the Course
Events Are Taking
TOWARDS BIMETALLIC COINAGE.
President Cleveland's Contention
that an International Agree
ment Was the Only Basis for
Silver Coinage, and that 1t
Gould Be Brought About Is
Being Rapidly Proven Correct.
The International Conference

WAsHIN GToN, D. c., May 3.-The
agitation in Europe and notably in
England in favor of the rehabilitation OF
silver as money metal is being OBJ
served with the greatest satisfaction by
the administration, for il is regarded as
strong confirmation OF the correctness
OF the principle TO which President
Cleveland has so steadfastly adhered
through thick and thin and some
times at the risk OF own popularity
with his party. The President has
contended that true and stable equality
OF gold and silver could be brought
about and maintained only by
agreement between the great financial
nations. of the world. With this con-
viction he has been obliged to resolutely
oppose all attempts at individual action
by the United States and when the ex-
treme silver men have declared that
there could be no hope Of consu mating g
the desired international agreement,
the President has replied that firm and
steadfast adherence TO the line OF policy
initiated by the repeal Of the
SILVER PURCHASE SECTIONS
of the Sherman act must inevitably
bring about the desired result. One Of
the purposes In view then was to relieve
the United States from the loss and
danger to which 1t was subjected by the
efforts to maintain unaided by any of
the great financial powers the integrity
Of silver as money medium. Europe
had pros pered under the old conditions
and was well satisfied TO
allow the United States to bear
the burden. The Presidents theory
was that by suspending further efforts
in that direction the United States
would cause the European nations to
feel the need OF a larger circulating
medium and to share at least, with US
the hardships Of monetary stringency.
Therefore, the movements now in
progress in England and Germany and
France are reg arded 0y the administra-
tion people as evidence OF the success
full working Of the Presidents policy.

SENATORS SHERMAN AND TELLER
Give Their Views on the subje ect of Inter-
national Bimetalltsm.

national Bimetalltsm.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Senator Sher-
man, in speaking to-day Of the London
bimetallic convention and tho telegram
sent by himself and other Senators to
the Lord Mayor of London expressing
sympathy with the movement, ex-
pressed the hope that the convention
would lead to the calling of another in
ternational monetary conference, and
said: There is no divis-
ion OF sentiment among con-
servative people as the necessity of re-
gaining silver as one OF the moneys OF
the country. The only question we
have discussed in Congress is whether
we can have free coinage without de-
monetizing gold. The general opinion
is that this would be the result of an
attempt by the United States alone to
maintain 16 ounces Of silver with one
ounce of gold, when in the open market
we can buy thirty-one ounces OF
silver with one ounce OF gold. When
| have always opposed the free coinage
OF silver, l have none the less desired
that silver should be used TO the utmost
extent possible as a money metal, pro-
viding only that it would not place US
on a single standard OF silver and drive
gold from the country. Gold being the
recognized standard in monetary trans
actions with all the chief commercial
nations, l therefore joined heart
lily in expressing the hope
that the bi-metallic congress about
to assemble in London would recon-
mend some plan by which all the COM
mercial nations would arrange a mode
of coming both metals as money. My
own opinion is that it is better to re.
cognize at once as fact what Is appar-
ent, that on account OF the vast in
crease Of the production OF silver the
ratio should be based upon the present
relative market value OF silver and
gold"
Senator Teller said: "As to the
effect OF the telegram sent TO
the meeting by Senator Sherman
aud others who have not been known as
silver men, think that the telegram
will encourage bi-metallism in Europe
by showing that even those who oppose
the free coinage OF silver have come to
recognize the necessity OF double
standard, and that it will be seen from
this that while differences Of opinion
may exist among Americans as to how
we shall secure the full use OF silver as
standard money, none exists as 10 the
necessity of the use OF both gold and
silver on the terms Of mint equality"

QUITE A QUEER PRooEEDING.
A Justice Discharges Prisoner Under
Peculiar Circumstances.
Susefdi TsiserdH1 20 the ReoI4s-.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, May a.
The trial DR.. +. G. Dennison, charged
with performing a criminal operation
on SaIlie, the twenty-year-old daughter
of Henry Amiss, which resulted in her
death here last week, came up this
afternoon. The mother of the deceased
requested that the hearing be had in
Van Wrinkles law Office, to which Squire
Beckwith consented. Prosecuting At
torney McDougle and assistant
W. L. Mccain refused to consent,
but the hearing was held with
the defendants attorneys, the
Justice and several witnesses present.
Each witness was asked IL he had, or
knew OF any one that did, inform the
girl she was dying and they all an
swered In the negative. This was for the
purpose of laying a foundation for con-
trovsrting an ante-mortem statement.
Squire Beckwith then released the pris-
oner and discharged his bondsmen.
The proceedings were unusually strange
and have caused much surprise and un-
favorable comment. 1t Is the talk OF
the town and there is probability 1t
will result seriously for somebody.

THE BI-METALIo CONFERENCE.
A Startling Charge Made in Pamphlet
by sir Joseph McKennA


by Sir Joseph MoKenna
LONDON, May S.-At this mornings
session OF the international bi-mstallic
conference at the Mansion House, Sir
Wm. Fl. Hoaldsworth, who was the
delegate of Great Britain at the none
tary conference at Brussels, read
paper on "The effects upon agricul-
turists, manufacturers, wage earners,
merchants. bankers and investors OF
the fall in eneral level OF price"
A pamphlet upon the silver question
has lust been published by Sir Joseph
McKenua, ex-director of the National
bank of Ireland. The pamphlet is cre-
ating a sensation In financial circles and
at the bi-metallic conference. tits de-
voted to proving that Lord Liverpoofs
legislation OF 1915 was simply fraud,
the object being TO cheat the public out
of shillings in each pound, troy weight
of new coin. 1t is added that Lord
Liverpool made that paltry gain not for
himself but for the treasury.
Sir Joseph McKenna acquits Lord
Liverpool OF intentional dishonesty and
prefers to attribute the fraud to his
stupidity.
The sllverites claim that when this is
understood it will strongly influence
public opinion in favor Of the re-estab-
lishment of bimetallism.
At the opening Of the conference to-
day ex-Lord Mayor Evans, who pre-.
sided, read cable message from q num-
Der of United States Senators. The
message was received with prolonged
cheering.
The conference finally adopted the
proposal of Mr.. FL. r. Grenfell that
deputation of bi-metallists wait upon
every candidate at the next general
election in order TO ascertain the opin-
ions of such candidates on the silver
question with the view OF supporting or
opposing them.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 3.-Now
that the Postoffice Department has
pretty well filled the postoffices through
out West Virginia with new Democratic
postmaSters. an urgent demand has
arisen all over the State for'the estab-
lishment of more postoffices. From the
number OF these demands coming In,
it looks as il every keeper OF

was ambitious to have the
name of his habitation formally entered

ing centre and TO have the title OF post
master bestowed upon himself. Con-
gressman PendIeton's mail has been
crowded of late with applications re-
1uesting the establishment OF new post
offices in the First district. To-day
he took about fifty OF these
applications to the depart
ment and placed them on
file with his favorable endorsement.
The Department, however. Is chary
about establishing new postoffices un-
less the necessity for them clearly ex-
lists. Each new office established re-
ouires changes in the routes of mail
carriers, besides adding in other ways
to the work and expense of the Depart

PIrTsBURe. May 3.-There is q possl-
bility that the great miners strike may
be settled. A conference was held At
the Office OF Francis Robbins, a large
operator, at which two authorized dele
gates from the Hooking Valley district.
one from the Brazil, Ind, field, one
from Illinois and representatives from
OF the Pittsburg mines were In attend
ance. They discussed the advisabiltty
OF holding q conference with the min
ers' officials with 3 view OF settling the
strike.
In anticipation OF the conference
President John Mcbride, Secretary Me-
Bryde, District President Neugent OF
Ohio, National Organizer o'Malley
came to the city. President Mcbride
was very mysterious when approached
and said he was here on visit. 1t was
learned, nevertheless, that the expected
conference has been Matching for sew
eral days. ). l.. Morton, one OF the
largest coal producers In Ohio
companied Mr.. Mcbride to Pittsburg.
He stated that the western operators
were willing 10 pay the advance IL the
Pittsburg operators could be Induced To
do so. A large number OF Plttsburg
operators who have refused to abide by
any agreement in the past were
AT THE CONFERENCE
but w. p. DeArmit, OF the New York
& Cleveland Gas Coal Company was alb
sent. He said that his works were in
the possession OF the strikers. and until
they were surrendered, he would no,
talk Of settlement.
In the afternoon Mcbride and Secre-
tary McBryde, OF the National Mine
Workers Union, were called In consul
tation, for Information concerning the
demands OF the miners.
The result OF the conference was q
call issued by committee appointed by
the meeting, for a National convention
OF operators and miners to be-
held at Cleveland. Ohio, at
p. m, May Is. The call il
signed by President Mcbride and Sec
retary McBryde for the miners, and fo'
the operators by w. II. Holcomb. I'LL
nois; j. Smith Tally. Indiana; j.
Morton, Ohio, and +. l.. Robbins. Pen.
sylvania.
THE QUESTION OF WAGES
was not discussed at the conference. the
main object being cooperation.
While neither operators nor miners
would talk much after the meeting as
TO the basis OF the compromise expect
ed at Cleveland, II Is said the miners
idea will be TO secure the appointment
OF an arbitration board. on tho English
plan. which will have full power TO set
tie all local questions Of dispute. thus
putting 4 stop 10 future general strikes.
The meeting at Cleveland is expected
TO be participated in by practically the
entire bitumlnous coal interests OF the
country and a settlement OF the strike
will likely result.
PRESIDENT M'BRIDE's ESTIMATE.
PIrTsBURa, PA, May 3.-President
Mcbride, OF the United Miners OF Amer
lea, Ia an interview stated that there
are now less than q, 900 miners working
In the country. Should the strike be
