LAW AS IT WAS PASSED
1t Should Be Turned Out in
the Same Manner as Gold
Is Now Handled.
ENDEARED TO THE PEOPLE:
He Thinks Little Patience Remains
for Those Who SANDER the
Sound Money.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-Sena-
lor Voorhees,, chairman of the Finance
Committee, to-day gave CALL correspon-
dent an expression of his views on the
free coinage of silver. His attitude has
been misrepresented, but his interview to-
day shows that he favors free coinage at a
ratio of 16 to 1, whether an inter-
national agreement is had or not
He says an international agreement
is not essential. AZ have never been
willing to admit that our system of
currency should be dictated by England
and other foreign countries, and 1 repel
that idea now. The law repeating the Sher-
man act as it was amended in the Senate,
and as it then passed both houses of Con-
gress and was approved by the President,
commits the legislative and executive
branches of this Government squarely,
directly and unequivocally to the same
coinage of silver as that provided for gold,
and to the establishment of bimetallism
within ourselves if other nations do not
Join US. Therefore the cause of silver
money is supported in its present contest
by the most solemn pledge a Government
can give. Let the fight, therefore, go on,
and this time hope, to finish. hope
there will be no lame or impotent or doubt
full conclusion reached this time. Letus
find out who governs in this country
whether the plain, honest millions who
toll or the money-changers and blood
suckers who thrive on the misfortunes and
Indebtedness of the people.
'If I am told in this connection that sill
yer bullion as marketable commodity at
this time commands a low price my
answer is: that if gold had been conspired
against, as persistently assailed by foul
means as well as fair, stabbed in the back
for nearly a quarter of a century past
IL would be in far worse crippled condi-
ton than silver. No other form of money
on the face of the earth could have with
stood as silver has done such malignant,
unsparing crusade as the last twenty-five
years have witnessed in this country. 1t
still holds it place in the affections and
confidence of the people.
Battered, bruised and maltreated as it
has been, yet it will buy to-day all that
gold will buy. and pay all debts that gold
will pay, unless special contract has been
made for gold. The American people viii
never give it up, and sooner the minions
of the aggressive, insolent, consolidated
wealth and arrogant apostles of gold
recommendation realize and act upon the
fact, the better and safer it will be for them
in the future of this country. In every
State and territory, from the Western side
of the Allegheny mountains to the Pacific
Coast, silver has been known and en-
deared to the people for three-quarters of a
century, not merely as sound money, not
merely as honest money, but as land office
money. Besides with it their homes were
bought and paid for, and not much
patience now remains with them or their
descendants for those who SANDER and
stigmatize the great white metal which
has done its work so well.''

THE ESSENTIAL POINTS.
Nicaragua to Pay the Indem-
nifty in Cash at London
Within Two Weeks.
FORCES ARE TOO WITHDRAW.
A Commission Satisfactory to the
United States to Pass on All
New Claims.

MANAGUA, NICARAGUA, April GA
proposition of compromise and immediate
evacuation of Corinto by the British is
now under consideration between Wash
ington, London and the authorities here.
The proposition embraces the following
essential points:
First-Nicaragua is to pay $75,500 at
London within two weeks.
Second-The British forces are to be i'm
mediately withdrawn from Corinto with
out waiting for the two weeks to elapse.
Third-A mixed commission of arbri-
tration is to pass on the demands of Great
Britain's excess of the $500 claim, such
commission to be constituted in manner
satisfactory to the United States and
Nicaragua.
The foregoing terms, it is believed, will
be accepted by President Zelaya and his
Cabinet. 1t is understood the suggestion. Oh
a settle ment came from the Nicaraguan
representative at Washington and it is be-
lieved such an adjustment would be
agreeable to the United States authorities
If the Nicaraguans' acceptance is given
the proposition will be urged on the Lon
don Foreign Office and it is believed il
will be accepted.

MUST REMAIN IN JAIL.
John w. Flood Is Charged With
Falsifying the Book of
| Certified Checks.

John W. Flood, ex-cashier of the Dona-
hue-Kelly Banking Company, is in jail,
where he must remain at least until Fri
day next unless his attorney, Carroll Cook,
discovers some way to get him out.
There have been a number of charges
standing against Flood for the past two
years, but so far he has managed to avoid
prosecution. The charge upon which
Flood was detained yesterday was one
made on the information of the District
Attorney, which is of technical nature.
1t charges Flood with falsifying the "book
of certified checks"
Flood made an entry in his "book of
certified checks" the following memoir
andum on the 10Th of August, 1892: Estate
Della Hope. $4,000" This implied that a
sum had been paid out by him on check
against the Della Hope estate, whereas no
nor has since been in existence during
Floods service in the bank.
When called upon to plead Yesterday
neither Flood nor his attorney had word
to say. The court and Attorney Barnes,
who represented the bank, looked sur
prised, but not word escaped Flood
lips.
Every well, sir. Make an entry in the
books, Mr.. Clerk" said Judge Wallace,
''that the defendant refuses to plead. /
appoint next Friday, May 8, for the pass
ing of judgment"
The motive for this silence became ap-
parent when Flood let it be known that,
according to his opinion, for this offense
he can only be held for misdemeanor
and that he may escape with fine or a
short term in prison.

DAKoTA,s INDIAN TROUBLE.
Half Breeds Have Caused 1t by Claiming
TITLES to Land.

Half Breeds Have Caused 1t by Claiming
Titles to Land.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April ga
special to the Tribune from Devils Lake
n. D., says:
After sitting it from all available sources
here, there seems no doubt that the serious
state of affairs at Turtle Mountain is
mostly, if not entirely, caused by Canadian
half-breeds.
The pretext is Indian claims to large
tract of land in the Devils Lake district,
10000 acres of which the United States
has assumed title to, but to which it is
generally conceded the Indians have GER
tain treaty rights.
American Indians and half breeds seem
satisfied to await the deliberations of the
United States Commissioners in settling
the question, but the Canadian half-breeds,
whose claim is denied and seems
to be without equity, persist in
asserting the claim, disturbing settlers, ex-
citing American half-breeds, committing
timber depredations, and going even to
the extent of burning houses in their dis
trict.
They use the pure bloods as catspaws so
as to give the affair the appearance of
justice to the Indians. Marshal Cronin
intends to lay the matter before Judge
Thomas and request an order for the use
of the military

FACTS ARE WANTED.
The State Department Looking Into Er.
Consul HGIer's Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %. =
The representations which ambassador
Eustis was instructed to lay before the
French Government touching the confine-
ment of ex- United States Consul Waller in
Madagascar and his subsequent deporta-
ton to France were extremely courteous
in tone and were intended to develop the
French side of the case. 1t was stated that
as Waller is an American the Department
OF State feels bound to inquire into all the
points in his case; to be informed specific
ally of the nature of the charges against
him and Of the evidence upon which he
was convicted.
The report of United States Consul Wet
ter, who succeeded Mr.. Walter as United
States Consul there, while substantially
confirming the newspaper reports of the
case, was not sufficient TO satisfy the de-
partment, which desires an accurate state
ment OF all the facts before determining
what Its attitude shall be in this matter.

ENGLISH PRESS views.

Central american Republics Considered
Barbarians Who Need Attention.
LONDON, ENG, April 29.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon, commenting upon
the occupation of Corinto by the British
squadron under Rear Admiral Stephen
son, says:
eve do not want to hurt Nicaragua, but
only to teach her manners. The world
will smile at President Zelayas memorial.
He bewails Nicaragua's smallness and
weakness. We fancy that is one point in
which the world regards Nicaragua with
satisfaction. Imagine hornet as big and
strong as an elephant"
The st. James Gazette to-day, referring
to the same subject, remarks: "Great
Britain has at length taken proper meas
ures with the insolent, anarchial little
Spanish-American republic. If the bar
barian republics did not calculate upon
the final protection of the United States
they would behave themselves. The Mon
roe doctrine has been the subject for much
foolish defamation. 1t is apparent it is
understood to mean that America is pre-
pared to protect every Spanish-American
half-breed who thinks it fit to rob a
European. Of course this is nonsense;
but the most nonsensical delusion upon
which people are prepared to act is of
practical importance. The Nicaraguans
and Venezuelans do not understand that
the noisy electioneering swagger of North
ern papers in America will not influence
the action of the Federal Government. We
are now determined to stop the intolerant
lnsolence and aggression of these carica-
lures of civilized states. We. began with
Nicaragua and it is intimated we intend to
conclude with Venezuela"
Talking of a general alliance between
Great Britain and the United States the
St. James Gazette says:
1--WE would rather have the alliance with
the United States than any other people,
but a standing offensive and defensive
agreement is compromising thing. Both
sides of the agreement would act together
in defined region for limited number of
objects Another matter is that the inter-
ests of Great Britain and the United Stases
in Central America and other parts of
South America are identical. We do not
intend to make conquests anywhere in
America, and therefore the United States
has no ground for jealousy. Both nations
desire to trade in peace and are molested
by Spanish -American anarchy. This,
then, is the proper foundation for allied
action. If the United States is prepared to
act with us we are very well disposed to
accept the cooperation"

TO APPRAISE RESERTArIoNs.
Edtoard Crafts of Illinois Appointed to
Begin the York.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-The
Interior Department is taking steps to have
the number of abandoned military reser-
vations scattered over the country opened
for settlement. The law provides that an
appraiser shall be appointed, who shall
visit such abandoned reservations.
Edward Crafts of Austin, H., has been
appointed "a the appraiser at S. a day, and
is to begin work at once. 1t is hoped all
the reservations can be opened before the
summer is over. There are some seventy
five of them, fourteen of which contain
more than 5000 acres. These are: Forts
Thomas and Verde, Ariz.; Fort Dodge,
Kans.; Boise Blanc Island, Mich; Fort
Maginnis, Mont. Forts Craig, Cummings
and Seldom, n. NJ; Fort Abraham Lin
coin, N. D.; Fort McDermott, Or; and
Forts Cameron, Crittenden and Rush

LOOK FOR SETTL EMENT.
State Department Officials Think Mica
ragsa viii Puy the Claim.

State Department Officials Thinks Med
ragua Will Pay the Claim.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-While
there were many rumors flying about the
city to-day about the state of affairs at
Corinto, some to the effect that the diff
Guilty had been pate up and that the
British had Withdrawn on the basis of a
submission of the British claim to arbi-
tration, and others to show that the British
had extended their original programme so
as to include the dispatch of a fleet of
warships to collect a debt owing by Hon
duras, it appears that none of them had
any real basis or at least they failed to at
tract the interest of the State Department,
which evidently looks upon the possibility
of a revolution in Nicaragua as the phase
of the case possessing great importance
just now, and which it regards as the abso-
lutely essential one to provide against so
far as it threatens American interests.
The story of contemplated onslaught
on Honduras is regarded as absurd, as
there is no justification for any such action.
If the British have any claims against that
country they certainly do not grow out OF
the insult offered to British official, on
which England has made the issue in the
Nicaraguan case, and if there be any claims
for i'll treatment of individuals they would
first be pressed by ordinary diplomatic
courses before they were made the basis OF
any naval demonstration.
So far as the rumors of arbitration are
concerned the State Department was not
advised up to the close of office hours and
did not credit the story, but expects set
tlement of the trouble between Great
Britain and Nicaragua in short time, as
is evidenced by the fact that informed Of
ficials still express confidence in the pay
ment of the indemnity.
