there had been a deficiency.

Mr.. Morrill, went on to state that the
deficiency up to this time reached $50, :

the deficiency woulds be $4,000 900

that congress should do something to re-
Heve the treasury and assist in the re

Therefore concluded the senator, he

Silver Bullion Has Been Quietly

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-Silver bullion

it has reached in many months. There
was apparently good commercial de-

cents. The rise was sharp and in sym

Co. declared that they did not know of
any definite reason for the Improvement
They did not agree that the advance was
due to speculation or that it would be
sustained.
The facts are that silver sold as low as
59c, and the price ranged about 80 for SIX
months. There was, by reason of ad-
verse legislation, material curtailmen1

who know the commercial value

mate continental demand having prevail
ed for a long time. The supply has also
been reduced by the demand for manu-
featuring purpose. For ten months the
price was huctuating about 81 cents
and during the past three weeks and un-
til yesterday 90 was the quotation.
The advance has taken so long as to
escape general attention. Simultaneous
ly with the sharp advance came decided
improvement in mining stocks, which Is
regarded as significant of a revival OF
interest in silver mines and brighter
prospects. Seventy five cent silver
means much to the great industry, and
would undoubtedly produce another
silver boom.

Mr.. Morrill, again addressed the senate.
1t was now evident, he said, that the
Republican party was in the minority in
the United States senate. A chorus OF
derisive laughter came from the Demo

After the vote had been announced on
the defeat of Mr.. Morril's motion, a SEN
sational colloquy occurred between Mr..
Morrill,, Mr.. Teller and MIR. Sherman.
Mr. Morrill, said the tariff bill was
dead, and he added that it was now
shown that there was not a Republican
majority in the senate.
Mr.. Teller responded with intense feel
ing. He declared that he and his silver
Republican associates could not be read
out of the Republican party.
Mr.. Sherman followed with a severe
arraignment of the inaction of congress,
saying it was a crime against the country
and against civilization. He declared
that he would continue to urge action
on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Frye (Rep., Maine) took the floor
to declare that the tariff bill was
as dead as Julius Caesar. Business inter
ests demanded that the statement be
made emphaticalIy that the bill was
dead. He hoped it would never be heard
from again and that the responsibility
should rest where it belonged.

PRIZE is CULLOM's.
A Hitherto Reliable Prophet Says He
Will BE President.

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-The man who
predicted Garfield's nomination and
Cleveland's election says that Senator
Cullom will be the nomines of the ST.
Louis convention
This man is DR.. Keiser of Washington
and he is spiritualist He claims to
have foretold the presidential nomina-
tions for the past 25 years.
His predictions concerning Garfeld's
nomination attracted much atte ntion at
the time by the way it was fulfilled.
While the attention of the whole coun-
try was riveted on Grant and Blaine and
Sherman and no one dreamed of Garfield
as candidate. DR.. Keiser was laughed
at. but he had received a straight tip
from the spirit world that Garfield would
be the next president. The doctor pre-
dicted the first election of Cleveland ard
also the second. He has won some
reputation in Washington as a prophet,
and now he says that Senator CulIom is to
be the next leader of the Republican
party He called on the senator in his
committee room at the capitol saying
that he only wanted to see the man he
know was to be the next president
DR.. Keiser is not crank nor is he
seeking notoriety. He is a believer ia
spiritualism aud believes that the revela-
tions coming to him from the spirit
world are reliable. He said he had never
met Senator Cullom, but would like to
see him because what had been revealed
to him concerning the senator's future.
Senator Cullom laughed when told OF
the caller and his revelation, but was
surprised to meet a very intelligent and
pleasant appearing business man who
chatted over political affairs for a few
moments and then retired leaving the
senator an invitation to dine with him
after he became president. The senator
said he would gladly sccaat. the invita-
tion should the prediction prove true.

Senator Allen Wants Another Door
keeper, Bat Doesn't Gel H.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-After the
senate mad disposed of much rou-
tine business today, Mr.. Allen,
(Pop., Neb.) offered a resolution
for the appointment of James b. Lloyd
of North Carolina, as second assistant
door keeper of the senate. This speedily
developed 8 sharp controversy. Mr.Sher-
man called attention to the fact that by
an arrangement, both sides of the senate
two young men, one satisfactory to Re-
publican senators and the other by the
Democrats were appointed. 1t was
needless, MIR. Sherman said, that an office
should be created.
Mr.. Allen responded that one official
had been chosen to look after nepub-
lican caucus secrets and another for
Democratic caucus secrets, it was most
appropriate in view of the proportions
which the PopuIist party was assuming
in the senate that a Populist officer be
chosen. There was considerable further
discussion, but the resolution finally went

bers of the finance committee would be

journed t. come to the relief of the treas
ury. "But as to this bill, concluded Mr..
Morrill,, 81 do not think it would become
me to ask any further time"
Mr.. Teller secured recognition as soon
as Mr. Morrill, concluded. The Colorado
senator spoke with intense ezrnestness
and feeling, and at times a vein of
He referred scornfully to the assertion of
Mr.. Morrill, that there was not Repub-
lican majority in the senate. That was
fact that long had been understood.
This statement, said Mr.. Teller, came with
a motion out of time and out of place to
proceed with the tariff bill. The senator
from Vermont (MorrilD declared that

purpose of passing If.
"If the senator from Vermont" contin-
ued Mr.. Teller, thinks he can en- barrass
those who have been as devoted to the
Republican party as he has been
then he is mistaken. will
follow my own judgment on
this question. And 1 will stay

to pass tariff bill, added Mr.. Teller,
was degrading to the American senate.

Mr.. Morrill, interrupted to say: 81
have read no man out of the Republican
party"
Mr.. Teller responded that the whole
spirit OF Mr.. Morrill's course was in this
line qt driving out of the party all those
who did not agree with him. It was the
same Intolerance shown by the metro
politan press, which had already read
the silver Republicans out of the party
