LIVE CAPITOL TOPICS
The Senate Finance Committee Discusse,
the Bond Bill Briefly.
Tariff Bill Not Taken rUp-A Free
Silver Amendment to BE OFFER
ed - Other Matters.

The Senate finance committee adjourned
at 1890 until tomorrow, No action was
taken and no vote was had. The bond bill
was discussed. but the tariff bill was not
taken up. White and Wolcott were not
pres ent -
Senator Vest was not present, so that
the free silver men and the anti-silver men
were tie. 1t Is understood that the in
tenticn Of the silver men IL to report either
a free coinage substitute CIR amendment to
the bond bill, probably an amendment.
After the regular meeting Of the committee
the republican members held a conference
In the committee room, and, the democrats
conferred In. the District committee room.
Senator Jones of Nevada went with the
democrats, as the conference was consid-
cred silver conference more than any
thing else.
The &C inference Of the silver advocates on
the committee resulted In a unanimous de-
cision to insist upon an amendment in the
nature Of > substitute providing for free
coinage and the elimination of all author
ity for the issuance of bonds. Senator
Jones of Arkansas was delegated to pre-
pare measure in accordance with these
views to be submitted to a full meeting of
the committee as soon as 1t can be COM
pleted. There is hope that the bill can re-
CSiNe llNdI consideration at the nanQS of
the committee in time to permit reporting
to the Senate tomorrow, but this may not
be accomplished.
The absentees will be paired when a vote
Is reached in committee.
The democratic and silver members con-
cluded their conference before o'clock
but the republican anti-free coinage mem
bers continued their during the afternoon
1t is quite definitely determined, however
that they will make minority report, and
1t Is more than probable that they will in
dorse the House bill without amendment.
The majority of the republicans will op.
pose the reporting of the substitute bill to-
morrow, but will aske that the report be
postponed until Tuesday next.
A National System OF Coast Defenses.
Senator Squire, chairman Of the commit
tee on coast defenses of the Senate, has
called a meeting Of the committee at II
o'clock tomorrow morning. Gen. Craighill,
chief of engineers. u. 8. A., will be present
to give the committee information and ad-
vice upon the bill introduced by Senator
Squire to provide for national system of
coast defenses. 1t Is needful for the COM
mtttee to understand the present situa ton
Of our defenses, so as to take intelligent
action i'm the immediate future.

committee has appointed H. NJ. Lord OF

To Develop Virginia Gold Fields.

A company has been organized at Rich
mond. Va, with capital stock Of $1,000
600, for the pur' use of developing on a
very extensive scale large gold mining
properties covering several thousand acres
in Buckingham county, Va. Northern and
western capitalists have made a thorough
investigation Of the gold-bearing ores Of
that territory and have found such favora-
BILE conditions that it Is claimed they have
secured control of the entire district. In
vestigations of experts and analysis of the
ores show that the average Of these ores
gives a much better percentage of gold
than either the South African or the Grip

ing advocate of a gold standard in his state,
Alabama, said: 1.-The silver democrats of
my state will prefer single gold standard
to republicanism. They know that If they
vote with the populists or a new party they
will simply be throwing away their votes.
There are certain principles the democratic
party stands fol which are assailed by the
republican party. These principles, among
them local self government, are of infinitely
greater consequence to the silver democrats
than the question Of money"

PLATFORM" was asked about a dozen promf-
nent free silver men from the southern
states.
The most significant thing about the mat
ter was that such prominent men as Bailey
of Texas and McMillin of Tennessee de-
clined to talk on the subject. Four years
ago, If they had been asked such a question
they would have laughed in a mans face,
for whoever heard of the solid south not
voting for democrat for anything?
Congressman Strait of South Carolina
said: MY opinion is that the free silver
men will not support another democratic
candidate for President unless he is favor
able to silver. The south and west ought to
organize their own democratic party, put up
a candidate for President, and vote for him.
If they cannot do anything else they can
send Representatives and Senators here
who will hold the balance of power"

And tread water they would until l told
them to stop. A man can tread water
in mid-ocean ten hours. l should keep
my girl athletes walking the water an
hour. In that time they would be tired,
but they would find they could run
home in double-quick time. The get
ting TO land would be managed in the
way said, by floating, swimming and
getting along with the tide to shore af-
ter they had walked the water. Then l
should want them to walk home. "A
basket ball team that could go through
This test Of athletics would without diff
ficulty capture the pennant over team
training holly and laboriously on land,
with the dust in lungs and nostrils.
Diving is a fine exercise for an ath-
lete. The basket ball girls OF Vassar
ought to practice that for hand and arm
development TRAINED an actress, who
was TO dive off bridge, and afterwards
rescue a child from perilous tide, by
merely giving her the diving exercise.
After an hours diving a day she could
easily grab the forty-ive pound boy at
arms length and hold him until both
were rescued.
The way to dive is with the hands to-
gether and pointed. Dive at an angle
of eighty degrees. This is a long slant.
Diving at this angle you can dive from
a thirty-foot ledge in three feet of wa
ter without any trouble.
The minute you strike the water close
your hands and make tight fists. This
exercise the hands and gives the arms
strength. The object is to protect the
head from obstacles. When you dive
under the water you don't know what
YOU will strike. Those two tight fists
in front of you will meet and ward off
whatever may Turk. The quick closing,
as you feel the water, is a great prac-
eice. and the tension Of the outstretched
arms against the force of the water is
great.
The best movement for developing
the back muscles is the fiat, face-down
movement. For the ribs, the swimming
on back. The side hand-over move
gnent strengthens the arms. The legs
get strength any way.
The girls boat crews suffer from
short breath. They are "short-wind-
ed" They should practice swimming
under water every day. They would
learn the deep, full breath of the ocean
diver. The Wellesley crew should
train under water, and I believe they
will. Boys football teams are begin
ming to see the virtue of training in wa
ter. A year from now will tell you
the result Of my training tips in the
girls crews.

every morning at the hour OF the first
exercise and are told to plunge in and
swim. Here, with the first stroke, the
same exercise of all the muscles takes
place. Even the fingers must work IN
swimming. The proper way to swim Is
to keep the fingers together. But IN
swimming for exercise they should be
separated. In a few minutes the sep
arated fingers will cramp. Then they
rnust be closed side by side. This is part
OF the finger training. In one hour in
the water the exercise has been as Sc
we're and as beneficial as with an hour
in the boat.
What are the advantages Of this wa
ter trainging? you ask. Just this-you
do not get overheated. The blood keeps
cool. You come out of the water fresh
and clear. You may be little tired as
to muscles, but your head is cool, your
body. in a pleasant glow and You are as
ready to practice again as you We're.
If l could have my choice of training
a. crew, either men or women, entirely
on land or entirely in water. / should
choose the latter element. l would keep
them in water until week before the
final race. Then give them seven days
of practice in the handling of the oars.
This, of course, is for oarsmen who are
already proficient in the use of the boat.
In training a womens crew in the
water I should lay down some rules.
The. first would be as to depth. Sup
pose the girls averaged feet 4 inches
in height. I would never let them get
in over four feet Of water. In four feet
they can swim as well as in forty. And
they would have the utmost confidence,
for they know they can stand on their
feet in the water. The accidents in
water are due to the men who urge the
women out too far for bravado. Keep
near shore if you want to become ath-
letic swimmers.

The word cramp has such an awful
sound TO a trainer that 1 have known
those who kept their best athletes out
Of the water for fear OF il. Now, a
cramp is a painful thing, but it isn't a
dangerous one If you know how to ham
die it. Suppose you are in the water
and you get a cramp in the commonest
p!ace-your middle What do you do?
You instinctively double up. You catch
your breath. the water rushes in and
You smother You go down like a log
and you don't come up again. That is
the way the best swimmers are lost.
RULES FOR CRANP
Now, here's a cramp rule: The Sec
ond the stitch takes you throw back
your head and give a leap backward.
Get on your back. You are in agony,
but you will float, just the same. The
swimmer arms which you have acquir-
ed will keep YOU up. You will soon be
in to shore, and there they will rub you
down. not up. and You will be we'll. But
not if YOU forget the injunction to throw
yourself backward at the first pain.
If | had a football team of girls to
train-and there are trainers for this
game in the girls colleges-or II had a
basket ball set, or a tennis tournament
on hand, or any of the games that re-
quire an athletic use of the legs,
should try a novel training which l
have used with good results. should
take my team off upon a boat and an
Choir about a mile from land. Then I
should put them all in the water with
experienced swimmers on the boat to
watch them. I should say TO them:
"Now you are overheard from burn
ing steamer. What are you going to
do?"
swim to land" they would say. 1--WE
are expert swimmers.
"You can't swim to land.The tide is
against you." would reply, for the
matter of having the tide against me
would be part of the training.
I'VE are expert swimmers. We can
swim against the tide"
NO you can't" would impress upon
them. "There never was a swimmer SO
expert that he could undertake to swim
against the tide TO shore. If he is real
" expert he will float with the tide
down the shore, hoping it will carry
him nearer. Then he will take a stroke
towards land, then float again. In time
he will get to shore, but fully ten miles
below where he wants TO CO."
What shall we do then?" they will
ask.
Tread water I would say to them.
