The Indictments were expected last

Judge Ingraham adjourned his court.
The result OF the special grand jury's
work was known to nobody except the
prosecuting attorney until last night
when a report was circulated that the

the papers We're being prepared for

THE JONES BILL NOW.
TAKEN UP IN THE SENATE.
All Other Msasures.-A Vote Likely
to Be Taken Soon.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 1s.-By q
bold parliamentary move the silver
men Of the Senate. under the leader.
ship OF Senator Jones of Arkansas,
forced aside nll other pending bills,
and by vote Of 30 to q, made the bill
for the unrestricted coinage Of silver
unfinished business before the Senate.
Having succeeded In this, Mr.. Jones
gave notice that the silver bill would
be kept before the Senate until final
vote was secured before adjournment
tomorrow.
From the strength shown by the all.
yer men on the vote to-day. there was
little doubt of Mr.. Jones' ability to &C.
cure the vote tomorrow, unless OBJ
structive tactics or u test of physical
endurance are inaugurated, which IL
regarded as unlikely.
The move of the silver men came us
the climax Of an exciting day In the
Senate. For two hours Mt the opening
of the session there was renewal Of
the attack and defense, the charge and
countcr-charge concerning the course
of the president and secretary of tho
treasury In negotiating the recent bond
contract with foreign bankers. The
two notable speeches Of the day Were
made by Mr.. Gray OF Delaware, whose
relations with the administration are
such that his utterances In defense of
the president and secretary were re-
garded ms rejecting the attitude Of the
executive branch. and by Mr.. Sher-
man Of Ohio, whose financial Views
are always received with marked at
tcntion.
( Mr.. Sherman's criticisms OF the bond
contract We're none the less severe be-
cause Of the claim and dispasslOnatc
manner In which he set forth what he
termed "its hard and impolltlc" feat
ures. and the excessive" rate OF In
terest allowed on thirty-ycar bonds. Mr..
Sherman declared that no bonds should
be issued except to be taken by the
people OF the United States, and he as
serted the abundant ability OF Ameri-
cans to furnish all the gold necessary.
The Ohio senator did not. however,
question the presidents position In
favor OF gold payments, but presented
the facts of all bonds issued since 1860
showing that the government had nj.
ways received gold for Its bonds. and
was bound by common honesty to pay
In gold for them.

The success OF the government OF

Davies was then taken into the prison
yard. where he was shown two ring
bolts In the wall above his head. The
