COIN THE SILVER BULLION.
A Bill Providing That the Metal in ths

A Bill Providing That the Metal in the
Treasury Shall Be Circulated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Representative
Oates of Alabama will tomorrow intro
duce the following important bill to pro
vide for the coinage of silver bullion
now owned by the United States:
''Sec. All the silver bullion now
owned by the United States shall be
coined as speedily as practicable into
standard silver dollars of the weight
and ineness as now prescribed by law,
which shall be legal tender in payment
of all debts, public and private; pro-
vided, that one-seventh part of said bull
lion may be coined into half dollars,
quarter dollars and dimes in proportion
as directed by the secretary of the treas
pry and to contain amounts of pure sill
yer and alloy as now prescribed by law
for such coinage.
"Sec. The secretary of the treasury
shall set apart $40, 900, 900 coined as
aforesaid for the redemption Of notes
lSouCu Wy INC L1CaSul anu pau OuL lOI
the purchase of silver bullion in the
manner provided in the act of July IA,
1890, and whenever said sum is reduced
bdlow $40, 900, 900 by the redemption of
said notes the secretary shall, from any
other silver dollars in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated, add to said
sum so as to keep it up to 1000, 900
until the aggregate amount of said notes
outstanding is reduced below that sum,
and then the secretary shall keep in the
treasury for redemption an amount OF
silver dollars equal to the amount of
notes outstandingu until all are redeemed;
provided that the secretary may reissue
any of said notes when redeemed as
provided in the act of July "a, 1890.
"Sec. 3.-Any contract hereafter made
| by the government of the United States
or between corporations and a person
or persons or between private persons,
which is by its terms or by law payable
in dollars or dollars and cents, may be
paid at its maturity or thereafter in any
lawful coin of the United States"

non, Lizzie Everett, the l9-year-old
daughter of Benjamin Everett, has just
awakened from a sleep of six days.
Milk was poured down her throat to
sustain life, otherwise she tasted no food.
This is the second time Miss Everett has
been affected this way. On a previous
occasion she slept two weeks. When
asked to describe her feelings, she re-
piled that she felt she would not want
any more sleep soon, otherwise she was
as usual. She has a sister who is affect
ed the same way, but her sleep never
exceeds two days. Physicians are puz-
zled.

Baking The UMBRELLA THIsF.

Washington Man Has Invented an Au-
tOmatically Returnable Rain Shield.
Another long-felt want is about to be
filed. Drawings for the invention were
received at the patent office only few
days ago, and the man, who, by the way,
is a Washingtonian, is preparing to
build him a house in the most fashiona-
BILE part of the city with the prospec-
tive funds from this invention. 1t is
nothing less than an automatically re-
turnable artistic, especially umbrella.
That is, one that will make its own ar
rangements for its owner when lost.
The nomadic habit of umbrellas, espe-
cially when left unclaimed in the neigh
borhood of a crowd, has long been a sub
ieet Of comment, and it has been a seri-
GUS question whether the trouble were
altogether with the morals of the UNI
brella that would go off and lose itself,
or an innate depravity of the umbrella
using public that made findings keepings
without much inquiry as to the identity
Of the loser. The new, non-losable UNI
brella does not differ essentially from
the ordinary article, says the Washing
ton Post, except that it has little stout
er handle. Herein is concealed the
working part of the device. It is com
pactlY arranged photograph, with a
multiplying reverbrator, enabling it to
be heard for, say, the length of street
car or a good-sized hallway. Inconnec-
tion with the photograph is a combina-
ton lock which sets the machine for
action. The owner of the umbrella on
setting it down simply switches in the
combination and as soon as it is picked
up the photograph gets in its work.
The remarks can be arranged according
TO the taste in oratory of the man who
owns the umbrella and can range from
a politely couched request not to dis
tur6 the rain protector to a stentorian

FIGHT FOR FREE SILVER.
Secret Organization which Is Making a
Determined Effort.

~
Determined Effort.
SPOKANE, Jan. FIFTY men met at
Washington hall last night and listened
TO an address by Capt. F. L. Evans of
Pullman on Finance and Legislation"
1t was the first open meeting of the
Freemen's Protective Silver Fedora
tion.
The object of the new organization,
as explained by Capt. Evans, are po-
litical action by means of a secret
society The captain claims that under
the present system unprincipled poll
ticians are able to break up all ordinary
reform movements and control the so
called independent voters on election
day however much freedom they enjoy
during the rest of the year. BY means
of the new secret society he believes
that the friends of free coinage and
liberal monetary legislation can be
united so that their combined influence
will secure the concessions wanted.
In the next three years." said the
captain, 1--WE hope to educate the peo-
pies they cannot be bought up at
election time"
At last evenings meeting the speaker
bitterly denounced Insurers, quoting the
fifth chapter of Nehemiah:
eve have mortgaged our lands, vine
yards and houses that we might buy
corn on account of the dearth, and 10,
we bring into bondage our sons and
some of our daughters are brought into
bondage already; neither is it in our
power to redeem them for other men
have our lands and vineyards"
more than $50, 900, 900 acres of land
have already been taken away by
mortgages" said the speaker, 'Of the
remainder ninety per cent is now
mortgaged. The time has come fol
action. If we are not willingto use the
ballot box to further the cause of hu
mainly the time is coming when thu
people will rise to fight for the right t,
live"
Toward the end of the speech tn,
captain paid his respects to the west
ern representative who voted agains
free coinage by saying:
IF man has sold your rights an
mine, make room in space for a bette
man. The constitution says the penalt,
of treason shall be death 1t is right
If representative is false to his cor
stituents, betrays the cause for whic
els elected, he should pay the penalty.

Austrians and Poles Battle Desperate
ly at a Wedding.
MANY FATALLY INJURED
Terrifice Explosion of Dynamite Sufficient
in Quantity to Blow Up "a Town
Placed Under the House.

HAZLEToN, Pa, Jan. 1.-The feud
which has existed between the Austrians
and the Poles of Derringer and vicinity
eliminated in riot, during which blood
flowed freely. Four men were so badly
wounded they could not be carried
away. These we're:
Thomas Boba, shot in the head.
Luke Draper, shot in the groin.
Mike Rossaki, stabbed in the head
and body.
Hannibal Linsati, stabbed in the back
and legs.
These men will probably die. Thomas
Boba, a Magyar from Fernglen, was
married to resident of Derringer. The
usual wedding celebration followed,
and this was conducted on an elaborate
scale owing to the groom's prominence
among his countrymeu. The esteem in
which they held him was overbalanced,
however, by the hatred which the
Austrians had for the young benedict,
and they resolved to break up the we'd
ding festivities.
1t was proposed to blow up the house
with dynamite. Acting promptly on
the suggestion, large quantity of that
explosive, with fuses and caps, was
soon procured and placed under the
| foundation of the house, which was
filled with the guests and friends of the
contracting parties. The quantity
placed at the base of the building, it
is said, was sufficient to blow up the
town.
Becoming alarmed at the possible
slaughter, one of the conspirators in
formed the unsuspecting Magyars.
They fed from the place precipitately.
Some of them took away much Of the
dynamite. The explosion took place
soon after. The shock electrified the
fleeing Magyars. They turned upon
their assailants and a pitched battle
followed, in which guns, knives, and
weapons of every description were used
with terrible effect. At least 200 shots
were exchanged. Scores of the com
batants were seen to fall during the
conflict. Their friends carried them
; away.

Death by dynamite.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. Ray Shuberr,
the 11-year-old son of the foreman of
the New Orleans & Southern railroad,
was blown to pieces by dynamite at
the Belair plantation just below the
city in Plaquemis Parish. Young Shu-
bert was out hunting with Richard Dy-
mond, son of John Dymond, the presi-
dent of the Louisiana Sugar Planters
association. By the side Of the rail-
road were several boxes, the contents
of which were unknown and which had
been left there by mistake by the rail-
road men two weeks ago. Young Shu-
bert seated himself on one OF the boxes
to fl X his shoes. The next moment
there was an explosion which could be
heard miles around and the boy was
blown to pieces. while young Dymond,
who was hundred feet away, had his
hat blown from his head and torn to
pieces, and was himself thrown to the
ground and badly bruised. An investi-
cation showed that tie boxes contained
large quantity OF dynamite. The
boxes have been lying in the open
field for two weeks, and no one seems
to have suspected how dangerous they
