VICTORY FOR SILVER.

and the Gold Men Got Left.
Chicago, ILL.,, May 5.-The silver and
gold forces of the democratic party of
Cook county were arrayed against each
other tonight at meeting of the county
central committee and silver won. The
issue was not so much on the monetary
question as upon the question of the COM
mittee's right to hold the primaries for
the county convention in a manner in
which the committee saw fit without in
reference on the part Of the sound money
democrats, led by Ex- Mayor Hopkins and
Ex-Alderman Cullerton, upon whom were
heaped the bitter personalities of the
committeeman. The action Of the admin
istrative county democratic body is a
fiattering triumph for Governor Altgeld,
and the probabilities are that he will now
be the nominee of the state convention
for governor on silver platform, unless
the democratic voters of this county de-
clare against free silver.
By a vote of IA to AZ the committee de-
cided not to adopt the plan of the gold
democrats to have the county conven-
ton held June to send delegates to the
state convention, or to have the primaries
held under the Crawford law, with SUI
pervisors composed of three silver and
three gold members of the committee. 1t
was decided to hold the county conyen-
ton May 20, and the primaries the day
before. The appointment of judges and
clerks, the main bone of contention, will
rest with the executive committee and
the committee on primaries, contests and
appeals. wherever the regular election
board clerks and judges do not serve.
The silver faction is ira big majority on
both committees. A delegation of bank
ers and merchants presented a petition
for Crawford law primary, and a silver
delegation spoke adversely. -

WINNIPEG, Man. Feb. 20-Although
1t has been repeatedly stated that Sir
Donald Smiths trip to Winnipeg had
no political significance, every observ-
ant man in the city feels satisfied he
is here as representative Of the OF
tawa government to endeavor to ar
range some compromise of the school
question The fact that Sir Donald
had interviews with Premier Green
way. Archbishop Langevin, Lieut.. Pat
terson and others in authority seems to
convert public opinion in this respect.
What progress Sir Donald made in his
mission orw what proposals he submitted
to Messrs. Greenway and Langevin 1t
is impossible to learn. Few expect,
however that he succeeded in induc-
ing Premier Greenway to concede sep
arate schools or Archbishop Langevin
to accept anything less. Aside from
any negotiations there are the best of
grounds for the saying that the pro-
yisional government will SO amend the
school law as to remove the most
serious objections Of Roman Catholic
Iaity thereto. 1t is now proposed to
amend the clause regarding religious
exercises in schools to make 1t per-
missible in Roman Catholic districts
to have their own forms Of religious
exercises at any time Of day, and in
mixed communities to have any forms
which the trustees choose before or
after school hours, but which the chill
dren need not attend if parents object
With this slight change in the pres
o,x 1ou, II ia hold Roman Catholics
can have religious instruction as In
separate schools, and the people be
saved the expense Of dual system.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Pop
ulist senators have decided that when
the motion is renewed for the consider
alton Of the tariff bill they will cast
their votes in the affirmative. If they
adhere to this decision they will be able
to turn the result from the negative to
the affirmative side Of the scale, and
thus secure the consideration of the
measure in the senate providing as
large a number Of Republican senators
vote in the Affirmative as did on the
first occasion. The Populist senators
say they have never been opposed TO
the consideration Of the bill, but that
they were taken byisurprise by the
first motion. They will not now initiate
the move, but it Is expected that this
will be done by Senator Morrill, It is
understood that Mr.. Morrill, considers
it in the interest Of the bill to postpone
for some time another effort to secure
action, so that considerable delay is
possible.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Again to-
day the house attended strictly to
business. The conference report on
the diplomatic and consular bill was
agreed to, the senate amendments to
the pension bill were sent to confer
ence and the Indian appropriation bill
was taken up. The latter bill carries
$S,690,995, or s1S2,7 less than the law
for the current year. In connection
with a proposition to- increase the sal
aries fixed by law Che bills of the last
two years have only appropriated
$1,000 each for these salaries) both Mr.
Cannon and Mr.. Dingley, the Repub-
lican leader on the floor, appealed to
the majority in view Of the situation
Of the treasury to keep down expenses
and refuse to take a step in the direc-
ton Of increased salaries. But their
appeals were in vain and the action Of
the committee on Indian affairs in re-
storing the salaries was sustained,

cial and personal request of Gov. Allin
and developments of a decidedly SEN
sational nature are anticipated. The
entire matter has resolved itself into a
political fight with place the only con-
sideration, and without regard to who
may be dragged down. Gov Allin has
been misinformed by his coadjutors,
wilfully it would seem, of the true
conditions of affairs at the asylum,
and the reasons the trustees had in
taking their somewhat peremptory ac-
tion in removing Dr. Archibald from
the superintendency. The alleged
friends Of the governor are circulating
the statement that the governor is
seeking vindication in calling the
grand jury, because of the refusal of
all but the president Of the board to
resign. Certain politicians, principally
among them Insurance Commissioner
Fancher and State Senator Fuller, who
see the control of the institution and
the loss of power slowly but surely
slipping away from them, are more
anxious and desperate in the methods
used to retain control than that the
governor should obtain a vindication.
