celebrity of the Maine legislature in
breaking the record in work done and

adopt the same plan of paying its legis-

The story of coming coup d'etat in
Spain is probable enough TO command
belief, though it may turn out to be un-
true. Parliamentary government in
Spain is for fair weather simply. When
ever clouds begin to gather the military
man is pretty sure to make his appear
ance and in someway place himself at
the head of affairs. The rebellion in
Cuba, though it is made light of by the
officials when talking to the public, is
proba bly, serious affair, and affords ex-
cuse enough for the appearance of the
man on horseback.

GERMANY Is FOR SILVER
Remarkable Action In the R3iChStag
Yesterday.
THEY'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF 1T
The Plan for Another Monetary Con-
ference Meets With Almost Uni
versal pproval-England's
Case Cogentiy Quoted.

BERLIN, Feb. l5.--Count Won Mirbach,
German conservative, introduced n rcso-
luton in the reichstag to-day instructing
the federal government of Germany to is
sue invitations for an international mon
etary congress TO take measures to bring
about the rehabilitation OF silver as a cir
culating medium. Mirbach said the mo-
ment had now arrived for Germany to
take the initiative in settling this ques-
tion, which is of great importance.
Bi-metallism would cause the rise of all
prices in England, where gold was the
currency. Agriculture would be ruined If
the present system was maintained.
America would either absorb Germany's
gold or adopt pure silver standard and
capture the whole eastern trade.
Other supporters of the resolution en-
dorsed the position that Germany had
taken at the Paris monetary conference
in 1898, namely, that she regarded an in-
ternational agreement of a ratio between
gold and silver as desirable.
Count Herbert Bismarck said the fall
ure of the Brussels conference was partly
due to the absence of an entente between
the powers which took part in il. The
Berlin congress of 1873 arrived at that re-
suit because Great Britain and Russia
had previously reached a basis for an
agreement. An International entente
upon the currency question would be ar
rived at in the course of time and in tho
case of Great Britain the feeling was
growing i'm favor of bimetallsm.
Herr Schoenlank contended that tho
introduction of bimetallism would lead to
a fall in the value of currency and would
promise nothing but hopeless future to
the workingman.
Lieber said the centerists willingly sup
ported the measure, because they saw in
the proposed conference an attempt to re-
move the difficulties in regard to the mon
etary standard-a question which was of
paramount importance to commerce.
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe declared
that he was inclined to favorable consid-
Grafton of the proposal for an interchange
of views on the subject with those states
which were concerned in the silver ques-
tion.

committee OF the whole on the naval APP

O'3 and contains provision for three new

tinued tho debate in support OF the prop

posed tho proposed navy. lie called at
tention TO the fact that of the 30 com
manders in the American navy but -
were performing sea service.
Mr.. Money, democrat, OF Mississippi,
member of the naval committee. made n
strong plea for the appropriation for the
new ships on the ground that they were
absolutely necessary for the defense of
the coasts.
Mr.. Everett, democrat, of Massachu-
sets, took the position that with the pres
ent and prospective demands on the treas
ury, coast warships were extravagant lux
urles. He declared war was of tho past,
n relic OF an effective civilization. For
the future there was peace. and the coun-
try that would carry its issue TO the arb.-
trament of arms would be branded with
the mark of Cain.
Weadock and Myer closed tho debate
for the day in favor of the appropriation
for the new ships.
The house disagreed to the senate
amendments to extond the time for maxi
ing the income tax returns and sent it to
n conference.
A bill was passed to authorize the con-
struction of a wagon bridge across tho
Yellowstone river in Montana.

vorably the bill repeating the one-tenth

publican members of the committee. pre-
sented a resolution providing for the re-
enactment of the reciprocity clause of the

on domestic sugar and providing for de-
