THE MUTUAL COMPANY.
Comm ssiOners Suggest an Amend
ment to Their Charter.

Commissioners Suggest an Amend
n,ent to Their Charter.
Referring to the Senate bill introduced
on February Is to amend the charter Of
the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of the
District of Columbia, the Commissioners
this afternoon addressed communication
to the chairman of the Senate District COM
mittee.
The bill, which Mr.. Faulkner introduced,
provided that the charter of the company
be changed so as to do away with the
$2o0.0O0 limit of capital stock, and provided
that the capital stock shall never exceed
5 per centum of the aggregate amount of
the insurance for which the company is
liable. The Commissioners recommend that
in lieu of the foregoing the following he
inserted
(which cash shall not exceed during the
current fiscal year of the company the sum
of &,5O.GOO. and shall not thereafter exceed
5 Fer centum of the aggregate amount Of
the insurance upon which the company is
liable: provided the increase shall be de-
termred from time to time only by a ma
jority vote of the policy holders present at
an annual meeting. or at a special meeting
only called for the purpose; provided that
the said company shall pay to the District
of Columbia IN lieu of personal taxes for
each next ensuing year IL per centum of
its gross earnings for the preceding year.

SILVER MEN TO CONFER

A conference OF silver men in Congress

Is intended to be simply in the nature Of a
caucus of all those interested in the free
coinage Ct silver and to be confined to that
one subject. 1t Is not the purpose to form
a new party, nor to separate any one from
his party, but to have a thorough discus

ton for an organization, so as to secure
united action on the part Of all who be-
Heve in free and unlimited coinage at 10 to

zation in every state and county, with a
national committee to look out for the in
terests Of silver. will probably be discussed,

ueVelopment, the course depending upon
the action OF either or both the old parties
on this question.
what Must Ultimately Be Done.
Some Of the silver men are anxious to

all who died-139 in number-nearly one
half were over fifty years of age. Affections
of the lungs caused about 80 per cent Of
the mortality, and of these nearly one-half

TALKING 1T DOWN.
The German Bond Amendment Draws
Fire From the P0pulists.

The German Bond Amendment Draws
Fire From the POpulists.
The Senate was threatened today with a
flood Of debate which would run on until
the end Of the session and sweep away all
the appropriation bills. When the German
bond amendment was reached. the discus
sion began at once, and it is said by some
of the Senators that its close will not
come until the amendment Is withdrawn.
The populists have signified their intention
to talk the bill to death rather than permit
the amendment to carry.
Senator Allen, who has a record Of ff-
teen hours of talk without taking q long
breath, said today that if Mr.. German per-
sisted in getting a vote on the amend
ment, he and others would keep up the
debate to- the end of the Congress.
Mr.. Kyle said that everything depends
upon the managers of the bill. Silver men,
he added have for two days been trying
to get Nj. German to withdraw the amend
ment, but he has refused. All Is cooked
and primed,'' Mr.. Kyle said, to talk out
the session. He mentioned half a dozen
western Senator's each of whom Is ready
to talk for day to prevent action, and he
pointed to his own pocket. bullying with
manuscript, to indicate that he was one of
the possible takers.
Mr.. PETER said that the Senate would
likely get to a vote in two or three hours
or o'clock. He believed that the amend
ment would be declared to be in order, and
that 1t would remain in the bill by small
majority.
There is, he said. no disposition on the
part OF the silver men to resort to long
debate to kill the item, unless they are
provoked into doing so.
But" he added, the Senate Is like a
great powder magazine, ready to explode
any instant. The financial debate once
fairly started, would cyerwhelm every
thing" Mr.. PETER said that all depends
upon the attitude of the gold men: If they
show any inclination to debate the amend
ment and to delay by even a little the vote
on the proposition, a long and bitter dis
cussion will undoubtedly be started.
There is some talk of Mr.. Germans
Withdrawing the amendment in order to
save the appropriation bills.

The statue Of Gen. Grant designed to be
erected in the Capitol by the Grand Army
of the Republic, which for q long time has
been standing In the cases in the rotunda,
was today uncovered SO that the joint
committee Of the House and Senate who
were to pass upon 1t might make an ex-
animation. The committee was to meet at
noon, but on account of some of the MEM
bers having to be in the Senate at that
hour the meeting was postponed until late
today. Nearly all the members of the COM
mittee examined the statue, however, and
Informally passed their judgment upon 1t.
1t is believed that they will be unanimous
in disapproval of 1t. The face and head
are commented upon as very defective in
resemblance to Grant. and as entirely lack
ing In the characteristic expression Of firm
ness and force which marked Grants feat
ures. It Is not believ ed that the committee
will permit the statue to be erected in the
Capitol. but will have it returned to the
sculptor.

The more light that is thrown on the

DISORDER IN THE SENATE.
The Vice President Had to Appeal Il
the Sergcnnt-nt-Arms.

The tremendous tension under which the
Senate is working now was shown during
the first hour of the session this morning.
1t was understood that the bond issue
amendment should be taken up immediate
ly after the meeting, and Senators arrived
on the scene nervous and in just that state
to produce an exciting time. The condi-
tions were, therefore, ripe for a scene
when Mr.. Berry made the point of order
against the amendment Immediately upon
it's being laid before the Senate. From
that time on the Senate chamber was filled
with buzz and a hum. Senators were
talking to each other in loud voices. There
were hasty and earnest consultations on
each side. Violent gesticulations accompa-
MED the words that were not addressed to
the ears of the stenographers, but which
contributed to the noise that was drown
ing out the voices of the speakers who
were trying to make history.
The Vice President kept rapping for or
der. but he could not maintain state of
peaceful quiet for many minutes at a time.
At last he appealed to Senators Ito refrain
from conversation. or to retire to the
cloak rooms" These requests were hon.
ofed for only few moments. The Senate
was getting away from the presiding OFF,
Ger, and at last he did what-in the recol-
lection of one of the old employes-has
never before been doEe by the chair, re-
QueSteQ the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TO MAINTAIN
order on the floor.
There was a momentary lull, but the stu
alton was too much strained to allow the
chamber to remain quiet long. Even with
the tall form of Col. Bright moving about,
eagle-eyed for disturbers, the Senators con-
tinued to talk excitedly with each other.
to interrupt the speakers, and to disturb
the serenity of the proceedings in the most
un-senato manner possible.
Finally. there was a plaintive appeal for
order from Mr.. Platt, and the Vice Presi-
dent refused to allow anything to be done
until he had directed the sergeant-at-arms
to insist upon quiet being maintained, and
to place enough assistants on the floor to
enable him to enforce the order. The SEN
ate fairly gasped The Vice President was
paler than usual. but very firm. The noise
gradually died away; Senators looked at
each other blankly and speech failed them.
When quiet reigned once more the Vice
President gave satisfied little tap on the
desk with the gavel that has no handle,
and then said. as calmly as though nothing
had happened:
1.-THE Senator from Maryland will now
proceed
And SO Mr.. German finally got an audi
ence that would. listen.
