SILVER MEN DISAGREE.
The Reason q Free Coinage Bill Is Not
Reported to the Senate.

Reported to the Senate
Chicago, Feb. 9.-The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record
wires his paper as follows: The reason
the finance committee of the senate
does not report a bill for the free
coinage of silver is that the silverites
cannot agree upon measure them
selves. They have a majority Of the
committee, but Mr.. Jones Of Arkansas,
Mr.. Harris of Tennessee and Mr..
White of California are determined to
limit the coinage privilege to the Ameri-
can product, while Mr.. Jones of Ne
vada and Mr.. Vest insist that there
shall be no limit or conditions; that all
silver shall be treated alike, whether it
be mined in India or Bolivia, or Mex
leo or Montana, and that any man, ma
tive or foreigner, who owns brick can
take it to the mint and exchange 1t
for the dollars of our daddies.
There are now fifteen free silver ad-
vocates on the Republican side in the
senate. including Mr.. Cameron of Penn
sylvania. The silver men in the SEN
ate will agree to the passage Of law
similar to the amendment which Mr..
German is going to propose in the SEN
ate, and to the second section Of the
bill which Mr.. Reed presented in the
house for the issue, whenever neces-
sary, Of small low interest-bearing Ger
tificates redeemable in coin or claw
full money" at the pleasure Of the gov
ernment, provided it carries provision
for the repeal of the act of 1879, under
which the present bond issues are made.
In other words, they are willing to give
the treasury authority to issue tempo,
rary loan when 1t shall seem necessary
IL they can prevent the issue Of long
time or permanent bonds.

Literary Notes.

An unusual diversity is shown In the
contents Of The Century for February.
Prof. Sloane's "Napoleon," which con-
tinues to be the leading feature of the
magazine, reaches the period of Ma
poleon's first success as an author in
the famous pamphlet, THE Supper of
Beaucaire," his appointment as a ia
Goblin general, and his mission to
Genoa. The illustrations include re-
productions of rare portraits and OF
notable paintings by contemporary and
modern artists, and special drawings
made by Castaigne and Pape. The
first detailed account that has yet been
given of the murder Of Emin Pasha is
contributed by Mr.. r. Dorsey Mohun,
United States agent in the Congo Free
State. Through the information OF his
sergeant, who was member of the
Emin relief expedition under Stanley,
Mr. Mohun was enabled to arrest two
Of Emin's assassins, and he skillfully
extracted a confession from them be-
fore they were executed. The story OF
the tragedy is told in their own graph
ic language. Mr.. Victor Louis Mason,
confidential attache of the board of
ordnance and fortiication, writes an
authoritative account of '.The Weapons

Annie Fields gives a dignified and low

Holmes private life. The paper in
cludes about a dozen original letters
of DR.. Holmes, and sets forth his rela.
tions to many of the literary men OF
his time. The genial humor of the Au'
tocrat pervades all of the letters. Ma
rion Crawford's novel, Casa Braccio,
reaches a strong climax in the elope
ment of q nun from an Italian convent
with the hero of the story, a Scotch
physician. This chapter has more OF

changes to picturesque Tangier. Noah

erence this month to Secretary Chase

mold is represented by dramatic
poem, "The Passing of Muhammad,
describing the death of the Prophet OF

by Robert Underwood johnson from
