THE DESPISED WHITE METAL
Silver Certificates Advanced to 10
Cents on the New York Stock
Exchange To-day.
TIE HIGHEST PRICE FOR MANY MONTHS
Not Due to Speculation, But Scarcity
of Silver-Decreased Supply and
Increased Demand in the Arts
London a Large Bidder.

New York, Feb. 24.-ln the Stock Ex-
change to-day silver certificates advanced
to 20 cents on transactions of $4,000.
The highest previous price during the
past few months was 69ls, on October 10,
1895.
Authorities on silver say that the rise
is in no sense due to speculation.
Exchange on India at London is now
at the highest point after a steady ad-
vancement during the past thirty days.
Largely due to the decrease in produc-
tion of the white metal, the supplies on
hand have been depleted, while the low
price has tended to increase the demand
for use in the arts.
London is now large bidder for silver,
but finds the metal scarce.

IN AN AWKWARD TANGLE.
A Sensational FOretaste Of senator
Carter's Speech--The silver and
Tariff Fight.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Tariff and silver
still continue to float to the surface in the
senate. Senator Carter, one of the four SEN
ators who voted against the tariff bill few
days ago, offered resolution to commit
the tariff bill, which is now on the calendar,
to the finance committee, and announced
that he would next Wednesday deliver a
speech upon the subject. It is known
that since Mr.. Carter, who is ths chair
man of the Republican national commit
tee, took his stand for silver as against
any action upon the tariff at this time, he
has been in receipt of large number of
letters from eastern Republicans, who do
not npathize with the silver idea, con-
demning him for his course, and asking
that he stand by their interests instead
of by the western sentiment. In his
speech Mr.. Carter will make plain the
purposes he had in view and il he talks
as plain as he now does there will be a
sensation.
"Fhey say am traitor to my party"
said he, "because voted against the con-
sideration of the house tariff bill. l am
nearer to the Republican platform of 1892
than those who voted to take up the tariff
bill. That platform declared for bimetal-
lism and a protective tariff, not New
England tariff. Dingley's tariff bill
should be labeled Reeds presidential
BILL The horizontal increase does not
help western producer. 1t benefits New
England solely.
"The president says we don't need any
more revenue. Figures show that under
the present tariff more revenue has been
collected than under the Mckinley law.
Reed expects US to vote for mis- New Eng
land tariff bill, but gives us nothing in
return for silver. He expects by his bill
to capture New England, New York and
Pennsylvania in the national convention,
but he can not have tariff that will
benefit the east and nominate him for
president at the expense of the great
west. Not another dollar for tariff pro-
lection for New England, and Reeds
nomination, against the interest of the
silver men of the west.'
This is about the way the other silver
men talk, too, SO it can be seen that the
Republican family is far from being a
happy one.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Senator G Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
Wrathfully Rebukes the New
York Sun.
THE RECOGNITION OF CUBANS URGED
Speaker Reeds Plans May Be Frus-
trated by the President-A Special
Session May Be Called-Cur-
rency Issue Forced.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Mr. Gallinger, OF
New Hampshire, chairman of the COM
mittee on pensions, rose to q question OF
personal privilege when the senate as
sembled to-day, and in vigorous language
denounced publication in the New York
Sun, purporting to report the action of
the senate in passing anunlber of private
pension bills last Tuesday. l. had been
asserted that all records had been broken
by the "senate mill" 120 bills being
passed in an hour with little considera-
ton. Mr.. Gallinger declared that this
WAS tifsae of Misrepresentation. C1xty-
seven bills were passed in two and three
Quarter hours and the total increase was
$l2O72 per year. The senator was very
caustic concerning this violation of
journalistic privilege.
BEL11aERENcY OF THE ouBANs.
A bill was passed granting to the
widow of Gen. Gresham pension of 800
per month.
After some discussion of the Lodge
resolution for the investigation of the
bond issues, the Cuban question was
taken up, Mr.. Morgan resuming his
speech in support of the resolution to
recognize the Cubans as belligerents.
SESSION OF HOUSE TODAY.
The house to-day resumed the consider
alton of the Indian appropriation bill.
An amendment, offered by Mr.. Flynn,
of Oklahoma, to pay $25,O0O (the annuity
due to the Seminoles) to the Indians
themselves, through An officer designated
by the interior department, was adopted.
Mr.. Flynn alleged that under the pres
emit plan the money went to Gov. Brown
and the Indians received due bills good
at Browns stores.
MAY BE AN EXTRA SESSION.
The statement is made here that if
congress adjourns without currency leg
,slation along the lines suggested by
Cleveland he will call special session
and force the issue upon the country as
the ono question of paramount import
auce. It is startling and sensational
proposition and it is something not con-
sidered by Republican leaders as among
the possibilities. Speaker Reed and his
lieutenants have expressed the belief that
congress Gun get through by the middle
of May and they are bending their efforts
to the accom- plishment of that purpose.
It never entered into their calculations
that the president might have a counter
program which he would endeavor to
. force upon congress. But it can now be
stated he has and that he proposes to as
sumo the aggressive at the proper time.
1t is the presidents present intention to
call congress together in special session
and thus try to force the currency ques-
tion to the front as the campaign issue,
giving it precedence over protection,
Amer icanism and every other issue, big
and little.

Mr.. D. Wiley, x-postmaster, Black
Creek, N. Y, was 80 badly afflicted with
rheumatism that he was only able to
hobble around with canes, and even then
it caused him great pain. After using

improved that he threw away his canes.

Cleveland, Ohio.-Jas. j. Corbett was
shown an Associated Press dispatch this
morning from London stating that the
Bolingbroke club of that city would give
purse of $4,000 and $500 expenses to
each for match between himself and
Fitzsimmons.
Corbettt said "The Associated Press
may state that, if the Bolingbroke club
will forward the articles of agreement to
me, will sign them without delay.
will listen to no propositions from now
on except one that will result in fight
between Fitzsimmons and myself. He is
the man the people want me to meet and

the matter had been reconsidered and a
decision reached that, if Corbett will
apologize to the National Sporting club,
the club will offer purse for match be-
