ALL 4 GAME or BLUFF.
The Taking Up of the Jones silver
Bin AmnuntS 10 Nothing.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-Strangers in the
Senate chamber late this afternoon who
looked down from the galleries upon
hfiy-seven senator's going through tho
form Of voting 10 take Up the Jones free
silver bin. doubtless thought the pro-
caedings ehtf0rward and sincere.
They were mistaken-it was simply a game
of political blun The cards were stacked
several DAYS ago and the players Of the
various hands were selected after due de-
liberation
To-day's proceedings emphasize former
statements in these dispatches that no
substantial financial legislation viii be
accomplished during the pres snt session.
The day was fun of exciting incidents. but
the situation has not materially changed
since the do nothing policy was an
uounced. The free silver men desired 20
get back at the President TO show their
disapproVal of the recent issue. and the
hard money men of the east. who are fi.rt-
ing with bimet7llism. were also anXious
TO show their constituents that no fnan-
cial legislation is possible under existing
conditions.
A combination was formed by which a
test vote was TO be taken on the Jones
free silver bill so that the result of this
afternoon vote was anticipated by those
behind the scenes.
The South Carolina and Georgia sena-
tors We're i'm the game, but they did not
figure 20 any material extent II is true
Senator Butler made some show I'M trying
10 get consideration for his railway pool
ing bill. in the grand scramble for recog-
milton that preceded the taking up Of
the silver bin. but he subsidized and finally
voted 10 take up the Jones bill
Senator Walsh of Georgia did likewise
Senators Irby and Gordon would prob
ably have voted the same way had they
been present.
There is a revival of the talk about an
extra session of congress, because Of the
financial proposition inserted In the sun
drv civil appropriation bill to-day, pro-
viding for tho issue Of 9 per cent. GER
uhcates of indebtedness and "a declaration
which is practically a condemnation Of
the Presidents course in negotiating the
recent bonds. Those who have studied
the situation do not anticipate an extra
session. There may be more bluff and
buster but by March all of the appro-
prlaton bills viii probably be passed and
il is not likely that they viii contain any
of the objectionable legislation now pro-

Important Case at Augusta.

The Master in Chancery Decides m
Important Case at Augusta.
Augusta, Ca, Feb. 1S.-A case which has
attracted much attention here especially
among the lawyers, was decided to-day
by the master in chancery, F. W. Capers,
a well-known member of the bar, was
appointed in 1888, trustee of the Abner
Robinson estate for Mrs. Mary Kirkpat-
rick. In 1893, he asked to be dismissed.
Mr.. Capers claimed that the estate had
been consumed in payments and the mat
ter was referred to w. H. Barrett, as
master for examination into the accounts.
To-day the master made his report in
which he finds that Mr.. Capers is res
pOnsible 20 the estate for S11,9S0, and that
he has a claim against Mrs. Kirkpatrick
for $l,1S0, paid her over and above the
amount of rents and income to which she
was entitled. The matter will probably be
in the courts for some time and will
hardly stop this side of the supreme
court.
Rev. John I. Loughman of Brooklyn,
died of consumption to-day in Summer
Vile. He recently came from the north
in the hope of beneftting his health.

GREENHUT's CASE IN COURT.
The Judge waiting Before Giving a
Decision.

Decision.
Chicago, Feb 1S.-Judge Grosscup to-day
heard arguments in the case Of Joseph
j. Greenhut, who was cited to show
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt Of court. and when the counsel
mad concluded took the matter under adj
visement, fixing no date on which to give
his decision.
The attorneys for the New York COM
mittee tried to induce the court to make
President Greenhut take the stand but
he was not asked to do so.
This morning Edwin Walker appeared
for Mr.. Greenhut and presented on his be-
half an answer to the citation for con-
tempt, which was complete denial of
nearly everything sworn to by Albert Il.
Goodhart Of New York in his affidavit
presented in the proceedings TO dismiss
the case as far as S. l.. Wormser and c.
J. Heinsheimer were concerned. He said
ne told Mr.. Goodhart what he wanted to
use the names for and " hat he Green
huD, had been appointed one of the re-
ceiVers, both Of which statements are eX-
pressly contradicted in Albert Z. Good
hart's affidavit. Mr.. Greenhuts answer
was supported by an affidavit made by
John 5. Stevens, attorney for the trust.
When court opened this afternoon At
torney Levi Meyer asked that Mr.. Green
hut be put on the stand.
If the court wants to question him we
have no objection" said Mr. Walker.
Isn't the answer broad enough to cover
the ground?" asked Judge GrOsscup.
I'VE don't think it is, answered Mr..
Meyer. Mr.. Greenhut admits he never
had any sort of authority from Messrs.
VVormser and Heinsheimer TO use their
names"
1T must be apparent to your honor"
said Mr. Walker, chat there was no in
tention on the part Of Mr.. Greenhut to
violate any law or commit any contempt. -
Whatever view the court takes of this
matter" said Judge Grosscup, depends
upon whether the court believes a. e
Goodhart in his assertion that he did not
know for what purpose these names were
ITO be used when they were asked for by
Mr. Greenhut"
Ex-Judge Moran thought there was
other reason why the court should hold
Dir Greenhut in contempt He said: I'll
seems to me that Mr.. Greenhuts assum.
ing 10 put in the bill parties whose inter
ests were not at stake is the grave ques-
ton in this case
well" the court concluded, Il want
70 hear from a certain person in New
York whose name / will not now disclose
before give a final decision in this case
I viii let counsel know when am ready tC
decide it."
The stockholders subcommittee was il
session all day to-day. The plan of re-
prga Bization was the subject under dis
cussion. If the supreme court decides tn,
trust IS Illegal a charter will probably b,
applied for in New Jersey. Tonight the

JUMBO HUNTERS TRIAL.
The Investigation to Fall Flat I'm
less He Is n Rascal

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 1s.-The investigation
of the sensational charges against City
Warden J. K. Hunter will begin to-mor-
row before a special committee of the
councilmen. Hunter has been city warden
Tor four or five years. Prior to that time
he had been a policeman. His selection
as city warden was due 10 the reputa-
ton he made as a policeman. Hunters
character, either private or official, had
never been under suspicion until a few
weeks ago, when all of a sudden charges
OF official dishonesty and private depravity
came to the surface in Volley, embracing
all sorts Of things from rObbing the poor,
whom he was sent to minister unto, to
keeping a mistress, and so far neglecting
his own family that they were forced to
appeal TO the police for protection and re-
lief Hunter denies all the accusations.
but has never given any explanation or
defense. He, however, applied to the
council for an investigation and the re-
quest was promptly granted.
u Hunter is a rascal, he is a deeply
dyed one, and the investigation will be
interesting, but if not it will likely fall
very fat
