STAUNTON, Va, June 6.-The board of
visitors of the State Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Institution today elected VIM. A. Bowles

the result the old board was dissolved by
the legislature, and Gov. OFerrall named
a new board, retaining an old member, q.
A. Musabach of Alexandria.
The new superintendent is an experienced
educator, and was recently superintendent
of Staunton public schools and later prin-
cipal of tie High School in Richmond.

FLORIDA FOR SILVER.
Action of the Kentucky COnventIO
and Its Effect.


and Its Effect.
A prominent Florida gold standard leader
told Star reporter this morning that the
result of the Kentucky convention would
probably turn what looked like . gold ma
tCrity in Florida into a majority for the
white metal when the state convention
meets. on June 16. The indications up to a
week ago pointed to a gold standard vic
tory in Florida. OF forty-five counties in
the state, twenty-five had acted up to that
time. Six had declared for silver. three
for gold and the remainder had elected
uninstructed delegates. practically all Of
whom were for gold. Since the Kentucky
convention every county has declared for
silver. and those yet to act are expected to
follow suit. 1T is something on the Nc
Kin3ey ORDER he said. The boys want to
get on the band wagon. 1t is a silver
wagon 1t is true, but the democrats in
Florida see no reason to oppose what looks
like the inevitable"
A story was sent out from here q few
days ago that Representatives Sparkman
and Cooper had changed their views. and
had Joined the silver procession. This is
denied. and 1t is stated that there has been
change of any sort. Both of the Florida
members of the House are against the free
coinage of silver.

1T should send in connection with these
charges" said Acting Commissioner Fisher,
that the reductions in no way reflect on
those affected by them. The commissioner
has acted in conformity with the order of
the Secretary of the Interior of April %.
lSai recurring the commissioner to report
quarterly on the efficiency of all employees
In the classified service There is no ques-
ton of the faithfulneSs of those who have
been reduced. The aim has been, however,
to provide opportunity for the advance
ment of examiners, who have fitted them
selves in archaeological schools and bring
to this office the best talent available.
Politics has not entered into the matter at
all.
The Commissioner nor the Secretary
knows what may be the politics Of any of
those who have been promoted. The good
of the service has been the first cousidera-
ton. The promotions have been made from
the eligible list in the regular order. [
may add that in all probability those who
have been reduced will be considered elis-
ible for promotion

w ORK OF THE HOUS e
Much Has Been Accomplished During the
Session Nearing q Close.
Chairman DingIey Mentions Some Of
the More Important Meas
ures Passed.

While it is common to refer to this Con-
gress as the "do-nothing Cor gress," this
term cannot properly be applied to the
House The work of the House has not
attracted much attention, for the reason
tn 1t il has been known that nothing Of
great general Importance could be got
through the Senate. Though the session
hts been phenomenally short. more work
has been done by the House than has
been accomplished usually at long ses-
sions.
Mr.. Dingley, the chairman of the ways
and means committee and leader of the
House, speaking of the work of the ses-
sion today, said:
The House has been working steadily
since the session began, and has done
more work thar many sessions which have
lasted three months longer. Not mention
ing the great number of bills important
iii themselves, but not measures of great
general interest, you may call attention
to the following measures which have
passed the House:
Principal Measures Passed.
"a bill increasing the revenue of the coun-
try Sio,ooo,pO0 a year; bill reducing the
interest and the term of bonds, providing
for popular leans and restricting the sale
OF bonds for any purpose except for re-
tary of the Treasury to issue certificates of
Indebtedness to meet immediate deficiencies
of revenue; a hill amending the customs
administration lawsso as to prevent under
valuation; the bankruptcy bill; the bill re-
stricting immigration; the filled cheese rill;
the bin to abolish fees OF marshals and dis
trict attorneys: the labor commission bill,
and 4 general pension bill.
Many other measures of Importance
have been passed by the House besides the
great number of minor measures, but these
are the principal ones that attract general
interest. The Senate has adopted many
of the minor measures, but the filled cheese
bill is the only one of those L have men,
toned that has been passed by the Senate
House Prompt in It's Work.
IF little of general Importance except
the general appropriation bills has been
enacted, it is not the fault of the House,
which has been active and prompt In its
work. Among the important matters that
have been reported from committee in the
House are the reciprocity measure and the
report against the Butler bond bill"

the companys attorneys. AS a result of
this notification Sheriff Stanley took a
force of fifty deputy sheriffs to Silver City,
the suburb where riots occurred, and lined

mess man. He received bad wound in
the leg The shots came from a point on
18th street, and were continued as long as
the car was in sight. They were evidently
intended fer the car crew, as Mr.. Thomas
was On the front platform when shot.

ment to the unsatisfactory condition of
affairs in Cuba, and suggesting that it
cannot be expected, in view of the interest

The letter is friendly and diplomatic in

people Of this country, and is firm in the
intination that a speedy termination must

Many More Awaiting Trial.
Quite a number of dealers are awaiting
trial under similar indictments, and Mr..
Birney said that he intends trying them
during the present month. The indicted
parties will be tried before Judge Cole and
the first case will be called in few days,

guilty, said Mr.. Birney, he would agree to
the imposition of light sentences, but on all
