finished his speech discussing the bill Of
Mr.. Edmund +. v. Knox. member for West

exclaimed:

been aimed at me in this house and a stain
has been put upon my name"
Rossa's remarks were here greeted with
loud shouts of ORDER The Sergeant-at-
arms summarily elected Rosa from the
House. AT the time of the interruption the
members did not know that 1t was Rosa
who Interrupted the proceedings, and when
his identity became known the sensation
increased. n previous speaker, it appears,
had alluded in uncomplimentary terms TO
ODonovan Rosa, and IL was this that
caused him to enter a protest from the
gallery. Rosa, after having been elected
from the house. was turned over to the
police, with instructions not to allow him

Of Parliament. Consequently Rosa was
marched off the premises by the blue coats.

LOUISVILLE. KY. May S.-The examin-
ing trial OF Fulton Gordon was resumed at

fession to officer Lapeille, as it was entire

was excused.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May S.-The ac-
quittal of banker Beach created no sur
prise here, where the people have been dis
cussing the ability of his lawyers in pre-
venting a trial on the merits or the case for
nearly two years. 1t happened that the
State had gone TO trial on an Indictment
for accepting a deposit from a depositor
who had more than 1000 in the bank, but
who had put up his certificate Of deposit
as collateral for a loan, and as the statute
reads that if the banker receives money
from one who is not indebted" to the
banker it is emheZZlement. Tn court found
that this indictment would not hold, and
instructed the jury accordingly. Beach's
private bank failed in August. 1893, with
$4,000 in deposits, and the depositors have
not received a cent. His assignee is his
bondsman as treasurer of the savings
bank from which he had taken $4,000. That
bank was protected by mortgages on about
the only valuable property he owned just
before his private bank closed its doors
with less thar $1,000 on hand. The case
has attracted much attention here because
of the prominence of the Beach family
and the long array of lawyers he has en-
ployed. Another of several indictments was
called up, but went over till next term of
court.

ANTI-REVOLUTION BILL.
Chancellor HOhenlOhe Talks I'm he
half of the Measure.

BERLIN, May S.-The Reichstag was
was crowded to-day with members and the
galleries were full of interested spectators
all eager to hear the debate on the second
reading of the anti-revolution bill, a meas
ure which has attracted universal attention
throughout Germany for a long time past,
and which has met with determined oppo-
sition from many quarters. The Chancel-
or. Prince Hohenlohe, in explaining the mo-
tives of the government in introducing the
bill, said that he could not understand
why Indignation meetings had been held TO
protest against passing the measure. He
held too high an opinion of the nation of
thinkers" to imagine that IT would be sup
posed that the work of German philoso-
pliers and the progress of humanity would
be checked by the legal provision under
discussion. The committee had dragged eX-
traneous matter into the bill, intending TO
strengthen the hands of the executive, but
the proposals introduced questions of reli-
gion and public morals and even weakened
certain provisions of the bill. Continuing,
the Chancellor said that he had TO thank
Herr Won LevetZow. late President of the
Reichstag, for his motion. which partially
substitutes the governments bill for the
committees proposals., and then the Prince
expressed the hope that the House would
furnish the government with the means or
opposing the violent tendencies of certain
classes with more effective measures than
hitherto at its disposal.
Herr Barth. a member of the Freisinnige
party, declared that Prince Hohenlohe had
pronounced a eulogy of the bill. Count
Won Manteuffel, Conservative, approved of
the proposal of Herr Won LevetZow, and
said If it was rejected the Conservative
party would vote against the committees
wording and probably against the whole
bill.
Herr Auer. Socialist. described the bill as
being the outcome of fear. and said: Ger
mans only fear God and the Social Demo-
Gratis" Uaughter.) Herr Auer added: 1.-The
conservatives want to to see the Socialists
Dl9pp Themselves in roUnlt IN from. Of 4hn
soldiers rifles and see their blood flow.
We shall not. however, do them this favor
The President of the Reichstag, Herr Won
Buol-Berenberg, rebuked Herr Auer for his
utterances.
The Minister of War, General Bronsart
Won Schellendorf. said that the duty of the
army was 20 defeat the enemy. Its laurels
were not won by keeping down mobs i'm the
streets. This task was confided to the po-
lice and firemen.
Count Won Kardorff, the German silver
champion. announced that the Imperialists
could only support the sections of the bill
dealing with the military and penal code
and the Indictment of soldiers to mutiny.

CHERRY TO MORTON.
Chapte on Cause and Enec
of the Fail of Silver.

DENVER, Col, May S.-James a. Cherry.
q well-known lawyer. to-day mailed a reply
TO the letter addressed to him by ]. Ster-
ling Morton. Secretary of Agriculture. He
says. in part:
You have not helped me, Mr.. Morton, as
! hoped. You do not make il clear that
values cannot be affected by legislation.
Did the fall of silver from 1873 to 1893 cause
the legislation Of 1873? You ask what sent
silver down in 1898 to 81 cents an ounce.
Surely that fall i'm it's value was not the
cause of legislation that preceded il. IT
was the effect of il. Take the case of India
again. Legislation stopped the further
coinage OF silver, taking thereby a part of
the old demand and use of silver away.
and its fall was flashed over the wires to
the wounded producer and debtors of the
world. In that case we cannot get the
cause and effect turned around. The fall
was the effect-the logical and HISTORICAL
effect: You suggest that it may have been
the legal recognition of existing facts
That is exactly what il was. Just as legal
recognition of existing facts Gf 1 clearly

a bill in 1891 which provided for the

House and probably be signed by Presi-
dent Harrison and become a law: Silver
jumped within a week from about 81 cents
an ounce to N.I7 an ounce. That rise, re-
member. was not confined TO this country,
II maui a COIIcSpOluinS Jump IN Europe.
We cannot be confused over the proper
place to put cause and effect in this in
stance.
MAKE silver into money. give il al! it's
old uses and there will be a demand for
II. And what a demand? How men would
work and sweat and risk for IT,, and what
joy and good II would bring the world. You
coin 1t. Mr.. Morton. and give il these uses,
and will furnish the demand.
Everything Is now measured in gold, and
that famous yard-stick of yours and Mr..
Cariisles rs getting too long. The pro-
duccr don't get good measure for his prod
uct; the debtor fails before such a measure
and the labcrer cannot live when his labor
Is measured by il. And the stick is grow
ing and the desolation keeping up with
II.
The silver countries. on account OF gold
appreciation. are commencing to do all of
their own manufacturing. With the loss of
our manufacturing supremacy our COM
mercial supremacy is in danger. These
facts, when they are understood, are likely

made clear that IL. is not due to a mistake
IN our financial legislation. Send more
