Washington, February 8. = Fifteen
members responded to Speaker Reed 8
suggestion at 1890 this morning that
the House come TO order for the third ses-
sion of the legislative day Of Friday.
Mr.. Corliss was the first speaker Of the
day on the bond silver coinage bill. He
favored the passage Of bill to secure In
ternationaI bimetalism by an agreement
with other nations than Great Britain,
and if that could not be accomplished,
then to keep out foreign bullion and
coin the American product
Mr.. Boatner favored the coinage of just
SO much silver as could be maintained
at parity with gold. Both gentlemen
opposed free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Bartlett asserted that the victory of
the Democratic party in 1899 was won
because Of tho belief that Democratic
success meant remonetization of silver,
and the failure to vindicate that belief
was responsible for defeat in succeeding
years. Mr.. Boatner asked If such shin
ing lights as Bland and Hatch had been
repudiated by their people because Of
their opinions on the subject Of free sil-
YER. Mr.. Bartlett said those gentlemen
were defeated because the people were
SO disgusted with the failure of the Dem
ocratic Congress and administration to
redeem the promises of 1892 that the
men. who voted the Democratioticket in
1899, either stayed at home in 1894 or
voted another ticket.
Mr.. Milness, the successor of Senator
Burrows, advocated concurrence in the
free coinage substitute sent by the Senate
and at: the conclusion of his remarks
at 12, theHouse adjourned.
1t was Immediately called tosorder for
the legislative duty Of Saturday.
The House in committee of this whole
resumed the discussion of the bond silver
coinage bill. Mr.. Grosvenor, Republican
of Ohio, made speech, taking for his
text the plea of the gentleman from
California (Mr. Johnson): "Do some-
thing for silver" "Do something, /"
continued MIR. Grosvenor, "for one hun
dred men, constituting the strongest
monopoly in the country Referring to
the frequent denunoiation of the "crime
of 49, as piece Of secret legislation,
Mr.. Grosvenor said that any man who
made such statement when the Con-
gressional Record contained sixty COL
urnns of debate on the subject ought to
go home and never come back. In oon-
clu sion Mr.. Grosvenor warned the Re-
publicans against voting for the free
coinage.

The Green Case.

A resident of this city, who saw John
and Eli Green, at Trinidad, yesterday aft
ernoon, informs THE Optic that they sent
word to their parents here to rave no fears
regarding Billy Green's safety, as they had
traces of Billy following the man he was
after to Oklahoma. They state that there
is no truth in the report oil two bodies being
found up near San Isidrn. or at last thau
could find no confirmation of ii. They
were, yesterday afternoon, organizing an
other posse to thoroughly scour the sur
rounding country for any traces.
The Mexican who promised to lead
Green and Kelly to the other thieves, and
who went ahead in a blackboard, while
they followed behind, on horseback, has
been re. arrested, but he claims he drove
out all right, but he did not see Green or
Kelly, after they started. Another Next
can has been arrested, and the two are held
in Jail at Trinidad, awaiting developments.
1t is the belief of his brothers that Billy
struck the man he wanted; and that he is
leading them a chase, down in Oklahoma,
or what used to be N o-Man's land.

pispIeased with the surxexs.

The committee on surveys, recently APP
pointed by the city council, met, last even.
ing, to discuss the matter and manner q
government surveys that are being carried
on here. 1t is claimed that in making the
government survey Of the Las Vegas grant
the locations Of the former boundary lines
10 this city have been changed, and that
this will lead to litigation as there are al.
ready several parties who have commenced
to fence in private property and public
streets and alleys in the northern part OF
East Las Vegas.
A committee was appointed to circulate
a petition to be presented to the secretary
Of the interior, asking him to look into the
methods used in this survey.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolped, That the mayor of the city of
East Las Vegas be and hereby is requested
to notify any and all parties who may at
tempt to fence or obstruct any of the
streets or alleys within the boundaries of
the city of East Las Vegas, that they will
be arrested and punished for zach and
