man PattersOn's Son.
Memphis, Tenn. April 25.-The silver
democrats held a rally tonight, prepara-
tory, to the primary election next Tues
day to choose delegates to the county con-
vention, which will choose delegates to
the congressional and other coming con-
ventions. One of the chief speakers was
E. w. Carmack, editor of the Commercial
Appeal. In the course of his remarks
Mr.. Carmack dwelt at some length upon
the fact that the gamblers and other law
violators of the community were solidly
arrayed against the silver democrats. The
significance of this lies in the fact that
the son of Congressman Patterson is dis
trict attorney with full power to suppress
the element, as provided by law.
Mr.. Patterson made his way to the stage
at the close of Mr.. Carmacks address,
and after he had obtained a hearing, up
on the request of Mr.. Carmack, stated
that if the gentleman who had just spoken
intended to connect him with the attitude
OF law-breaking element, he desired to
pronounce his statements as UNANIMOUSLY
false
Hardly wer the words out of his mouth
before Mr.. Carmack sprang upon and al
most knocked Patterson down with a ter
rlhc right hand blow. Rallying, the lat
Ter cl1nched his adversary and by-standers
separated them. A small crowd followed
PATTERSON to the stage when the hostili-
serious trouble would certainly follow,

oers evidently aware of what was coming,

Coleman was seriously wounded, the ball

and seeing Coleman Friday told him If
the remarks were intended for him, he
(Coleman) was a liar and a cowardly pup.
Coleman did not resent this remark. but
walked off.

was going home, he heard rapid steps
behind him. Looking around he saw Cole
man within a few fet of him. Coleman

would be to stop free coinage altogether

Washington. April 25.-An item was IN
serted in the sundry civil appropriation
bill to-day by the Senate, which. II re-
tained in the bill, insures the completion
Of the Savannah public building In whits
marble.
The action Of the Senate explains Repre-
sentative Testers frequent visits to the
Senate chamber during the past week ana
his friendly conversations with the Lead
ing members of both political parties. IL
became evident some time ago that the
House was not disposed TO pass any OF
the public building bills that have been
introduced, so Col. Testers experience in
congressional affairs taught him that tho
same result might be obtained by the aid
OF the Senate. He consulted Senators
Gordon and Bacon. and he also presented
the case to the members Of the commits
tee on appropriations lie showed them
that the Secretary OF the Treasury has
recommended an increase In the appropri-
alton, which was a strong factor in the
case.
During the consideration OF the sundry
civil bill to-day Senator Gordon offered
tho text Of the Lester bill as an amends
ment.
Senator Allison, chairman Of the appro-
pnations committee. in charge OF the
bill, offered a substitute which he said
covered the ground OF the amendment OF
the senator from Georgia, and would ac-
eomplish the same result, although it was
stated more briefly.
The Allison substitute was "for the
