SILVER QUESTION.
Movement in Massachusetts in Favor
of International Bimetallism.

of International BimetaIlism.
New YORK, Feb. THE Posts Boston
special says: Some of the leading citizens
of Boston and Massachusetts are commit
ted to the movement for promoting inter-
national bimetallism which reached pub
licity yesterday. Among those who have
had the most to do with the movement
are President Walker of the Institute of
Technology; Augustus Lowell, Brooks
Adams and General Charles j. Paine,
well known in connection with inter
national yachting.
/. President Andrews of the Brown L nj
yersity is Chairman of the committee
chosen to promote the movement. In the
opinion OF these bimetallists the great
business disasters OF the last twenty
wears have been caused largely by the
shrinkage of values due to the demone-
tization of silver. Correspondence will
be opened with bimetalic interests in
other countries, such as the Bimetallic
League in England, and efforts will be
made to readjusJ public opinion regard
ino the place of silver in the currency of
the world. They hope to have the help
of the free-coinage men.
The latter, it is said, are right in their
belief that the present trouble is due
LARGELY to the decentralization of silver,
but are wrong in the remedy they pro-
nose. What is wanted by this committee
is to secure the cooperation OF men OF
different shades of belief, but who are
agreed upon the main idea.

CLEvELAND's HAWAIIAN POLICY sUs-
TANNED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. by vote of
175 to 57 the House to-day adopted res
olution condemning Minister Stevens
and sustaining the Hawaiian policy Of
Cleveland. The Republicans tilibustered
against it to the end. Upon the first vote
the resolution was carried by la TO .,
and an interesting parliamentary ques-
ton was raised as to whether Ia instead
Of l79 was not quorum, four seats being
vacant on account of deaths. The Speaker
held that a majority of the members
chosen and living constituted quorum,
quoting in support of his position re-
view of the subject made by the ex-
Speaker in the Fiftyfrst Congress. His
position, however, was warmly aSsalled
by some Democratic members, and 1t was
finally agreed to take vote over again,
SO the ruling was eventually Withdrawn.
When it became apparent on the sec
Ond rOll-call the Democrats would have
quorum the Republicans voted against
the resolution. 1t passed-l77 TO 70.
Immediately on the announcement of
the vote on the passage of the McCreary
resolution. Bland called up the Dill dl-
recting the Secretary of the Treasury 10
coin the silver seigniorage, and moved
that the House go into Commlttee OF the
Tracey (Dem.) Of New York raised a
question of consideration.
Springer made point of order that a
question of consideration could not be
raised.
The Speaker sustained the point, ex-
planning that the purpose of the opposi-
ton to consideration Of the bill would be
subserved by voting against the motion
to go into Committee of the Whole.
tp C-ni n n { IN O
Whole was lost for lack OF quOrum-l60
to Z. Some Eastern Democrats joined the
great bulk of the Republicans, and re-
fused to vote.
A motion by Bland for a call of the
House was ordered. The call developed
the presence Of 245 members.
Proceedings under the call were dis
pensed with, and Coombs (Dem.) of New
York moved to adjourn. This being de-
feated without division the vote re-
Cured upon BANDS motion to go into
Committee of the Whole. 1t resulted
l54 to 4-stiil no quorum.
COombs again moved to ad journ.
Carried on a rising vote of 104 to 19.
Bland was, however, resolved to con-
tinue the fight, and demanded the ayes
and nays. The House refused to adjourn,
81 to 137.
Roll call followed roll call in quick sue
cessiOn, each succeeding call developing
the fact that members were slipping
away, but at last Bland was successful in
passing a resolution revoking all leave Of
absence, and instructing the Sergeant-at-
Arms to take into custody absent, mem
bers and bring them before the bar of the
House. In order to make the resolution
more effective, it was made continuing
order until vacated by the House.
At o'clock the House adjourned.

VICTORIA, Feb. THE steamer Estelle

the fact of floating wreck and chopped

was on her way, with eight men on board,
including the Captain, to Haslam's log
glng camp, on Campbell River, Van

reached Sunday night. Reports from
Nanaimo say there was an explosion on
board on February 4th, but the feeling
here is that she was lost in the tide rips

was new, and cost $4,000. No bodies have

had once played in band back in the
states; and, although the tuba man
volunteered to head the procession and
do the very best he could, the commit
tee, after considerable discussion, con-
| cluded the music might be rather fat
without a drum, and as no drum could
be secured the procession must march
without music. The tuba man was en-
gagged to play bass accompaniment
to Jack Abrams and the majors open
ing song, and for several days practiced
industriously on my Country, 'Tis Of
Thee"
The parade was a success in every
particular. The absence of music was
scarcely observable, for the ringing
cheers of the merry people as they
marched through the town would have
drowned the notes of any band of or
dinary power. Mrs, Porter, although
not SO young or handsome as the pic
lures we see of that noted character,
marched at the head Of the procession,
representing the Goddess of Liberty,
dressed IN as gorgeous an array of stars
and stripes as her limited supply Of
old skirts could produce. She was ac-
corded royal honors, and marched with
the naughty step of queen.
The first number of the stand pro-
gramme was announced, and Abrams
and the major made simultaneous
bow which they had acquired only
after the most careful practice. 1t took
them but few moments to properly
pitch the tune, and then they broke
forth in glad song, closely followed by
the mellow notes Of the tuba. The
