THE ADMINISTRATIONS SCORED.
Bland Says the Democratic Party
Net Defeat Through Fraud and
Treahery.

/, WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Debate
OH the currency bill in the house today
was begun by Boatner, democrat, Of
Louisiana, who expressed surprise at
| the opposition to the measure on the
democratic side Of the house. He paid
u tribute to the abilities of Secretary
Carlisle, aud dwelt upon the duty Of
supporting him. which he said rested
upon the democrats.
In the course Of Boatner's speech,
Bland put several questions to show
that the administration had adopted a
gold policy, and finally declared its
financial platform was a fraud If there
was no intention to carry IL out, as.
serting that a platform should mean
something.
Boatner asked II Bland had not been
a supporter Of President Cleveland in
the last campaign, whereupon Bland
responded that he had supported the
platform and had voted for the candi.
/ date, and the party had gone down in
an ignomlnious defeat for its treachery
and fraud.
Pence brought up Secretary Carlisle's
advocacy OF silver while member of
the house in supporting Matthews res
olution. and asked If soon after accept
ing the treasury portfolio be had not
announced his intention Of paying
some Of the governments obligations
n silver, and If be had not been teal
led down. Boatner replied that it
was useless to revive free silver as a
factor ofthe currency question. Bland
retortei: "You can't ruu the demo-
cratic party on republican lines, and
no mugwump can change Its policy.n

SPOKANE, Wn., Jan. 5.-There Is
now strong presumption that John
Wall, the Wardner rainer, whose
death in q lodginghouse here was first
thought to be suicidal, was murdered.
The autopsy showed that one Of the
bullets passed through both ventricles
of the heart, tearing that olgan to
pieces. The other shattered the skull

not believed that Wall could have fired
either shot after the other. Wall was

STRUCK A SNAG.
The Western Railroads Have Failed
to Agree as Yet.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE committee OF
the Western roads having under considera-
ton the troubles between the Atchison
and Southern Pacific was in session all
day, and at one time was making such
progress that the members thought they
would be able by evening to make an ad-
vance on the trauscontinental and trans
Missouri rates. Later in the day, however,
they struck a snag, and the meeting was
adjourned until Monday morning. The
obstacle was of small Importance, and
there is a chance that it will be out of the
way soon after the meeting again con-
venes.
Chairman Caldwell. who is in New
York, laboring with the trunk lines on the
matter of differentials to be allowed to the
Canadian Pacific, has informed the West
ern roads that he has reached an under
standing with the trunk lines so satisfac-
tory that there will be no necessity for a
meeting between the Western and the
trunk lines.

fifty wears to come the Pacific Coast wonld
be ground under the heel of the Southern
Pacific Company. 1t meant fifty years
more of servitude to that corporation.
Already the company had proved to be
curse to this city. Where we should
have half million of inhabitants. we
have only 300, 0OO and where We should
have half a dozen com peting railroads
coming into the city, there is but one.
Why? Because G.. p. Huntington has a
lien upon us, and he is seeking to place
letters upon us as the old English barons
did with their Saxon churls. If the fund
ing bill passes we will all be wearing mis-
collar and will be his slaves.

j. M. Bassett then read long array of
figures showing the profits of the rail-
road company during past years, how 1t

ayers had built up enormous private for
tunes from the revenues of the road.
The last speaker was Rev. j. Nj. Fer
guson, who dwelt upon the necessity for
more caution on the part of the citizens
in voting. A voter should cast a ballot
for no man unless he knew him TO be
thoroughly honest and capable.
In the past citizens had neglected their
duties and allowed professional politicians
to put up candidates. The politicians only
sought to obtain money from the pockets
of the people. He urged all good ci.izens
to quit voting in a go -as-yau-please man.

APPEAL OF THE DEBS CASE.
1t viii Probably Come Up on Writ
of haheac CnrnIIs


WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Late this after
noon Mr.. barrow called att the Department
Of Justice and had a short conference
with Acknowledgement Olney in reference
to the Debs case. The interview devel-
oped the fact that both Mr.. Darrow and
the Attorney-General were in favor OF
bringing the case before the Supreme
Court in the simplest manner possible,
and to that end Darrow said he had about
decided to ask the court for writ Of
habeas corpus.
This proceeding will not involve the
bringing into the cour. the voluminous
record and the case will resolve itself in to
the one question of the jurisdiction of the
court.
1t is thought Justice Harlan will be
willing to order Dsbs released on bail and
SO bring the case to the Supreme Court as
early as hearing can be had. but as the
court will take vacation during Febru-
airy it is not likely the case can be heard
before some time in April next. When it
comes uD for final hearing Attorney-Gen-
ersi Olney will represent the Government
in person. S. :. Gregory and ex-senator
Lyman Trumbull of Chicago are associ-
ated with Mr.. Darrow in the case.

TAYLOR'S RICH HAUL.
HHh LOHN y FNF~tf EIfKOIs
1t Is Believed That He Took More
Than the Shortage.

PIERRE. S. D., Jan. 12.-It was ascer-
tanned to-day that the actual shortage
which would have been revealed when w.
W. Taylor, the defaulting State Treasurer.
came to transfer his office TO his successo r
was about $4,000 in cash. 1t is there
fore believed that he must have appropri-
ated about 100000 more when he found
out how matters stood. on the theory that
he was in for 1t anyway.
Another sensation was sprung to-day
which accuses Major Ruth of the Office of
school lands with completely with Taylor.
In June last, it is alleged. he held back
his semi-annual apportionment of school
lands funds for several months, and then
only apportioned a part of it. and when
the November apporli0nment bill came
due refused to make that until Decem Der
q. Then 1t was too late for the County
Treasurers to make acquisitions, and
$4,000 went with Taylor. Taylor and
Ruth were close business associates.
