matters of religion, He found that in
all the illustrated bibles the pictures
of the angels we're in white. and he
conceived the idea of having a bible

The pallbearers are not to hr labeled.
They will be distlnguishable from the
corpse by the fact that they will be alive,
and their duties will be understood

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Senate
Finance Committee has decided to
report the Senate substitute for the
House Bord bill measure agreed up
ON by the silver majority. The sub
stitute provides for the free coinage
Of silver and for the coinage of seign-
forage in the Treasury and to redeem.
greenbacks and Treasury notes in
either gold or silver. The bill will
be reported to the Senate tomorrow.
The silver substitute also provides
for the retirement of all notes of all
less denominations than $40. The
Finance Committee Immediately be
gan the consideration of the Tariff
bill. 1t is said that this bill will be
reported substantially rs it came
from the House, except that an adj
vance of ID per cent of the present
duty ON sugar will be provided for
and the agricultural schedule will be
increased to 20 or % per cent Of the
present law.
1t is expected that the tariff bill
will be ordered reported, although
the absence of Senator Wolcott may
prevent such action to-day unless d
pair in the committee be arranged
for him.
The announcement last night that
the Secretary of the Treasury had
asked for bids for bond issue of
$1GO,000.0O0 was Il surprise to the
subordinate officials fof the Treas
b. ury Department. It IS probable that
no one here but the President and
Secretary Olney knew OF Secretary
Carlisle's intention. Indeed it it be-
lieved that the conclusion was not
reached until late yesterday after
noon. The Few bonds will not diff
fer in any respect from those issued
to the syndicate and will be printed
from the old plates. Persons we'll
qualified to Judge of the result of the
issue do not look for Il large cub
scription from private individuals
and the opinion is expressed that the
syndicate's bid for the entire issue
will be accepted.
HOUSE.
The session Of the House to day
was exceedingly brief. BrodericlS
made ii request for the unanimous
consent for the swearing in of Clar
ence e. Allen, elected to represent the
new State of Utah He explained
that y liens election was regular and
that there was no contest, but that as
the Governor and other State officers
did not assume their offices under the
Presidents proclamation until to-day
their signatures to Aliens credentials
of course could not be signed. Crisp
did not question the facts as stated
but thought Allen should not be
sworn in until a report had been made
by committee. The matter was refer
red to the Ju :iary Committee with
leave to report at any time. On Hits
motion, a resolution was adopted APP

ing to speak at once.
Hill took the floor, skillfully avoiding
any reference to his own views upon
the Endorsement of the ticket or plat
form of the Chicago convention, but
basing hls whole argument upon the
ground that the candidate for govern
or in the state this fall should be ..
strong man upon state issues and that
there was no need OF forcing national
issues into the campaign.
State Senator Grady replied. bitterly
excoriating Thatcher. The resolution
was read again and Hill again spoke
at length. attacking the Chicago plat
form. "A man must not be condemned
for disagreeing with the national plat
FORM" said he. 1T has things in it that
are in direct opposition to all the Dem.
ocratic tenets and beliefs. l have NO
objection to saying that there are
things in the platform that no Demo-

port the ticket is enough. There
Is altogether too much Populism in the
platform. Every leader and every man

this. Do you want to whip them out

we would shout with laughter over the
fun that we had had and We're going ia

The room was lined with books from

being bookcases, but tie books on the

Crush to See and Hear Him SO Great Tina
Several Are Injured.

several Are injured.
Philadelphia, Sept. %. - Bryan was
greeted In Philadelphia last night by
a crowd which, according TO the police
and other authorities, exceeded any
outpouring of the people on a similar
occasion in the history of the city. He
spoke at the Academy OF Music. which
has seating capacity of about 5000.
Every available inch of space in the
house and on the stage was occupied
two hours before Bryan arrived, and
experts estimated the audience at f,.i-
ly 5000. Gathered in the street outside
of the Academy were fully $4,000 peo-
pie who stood patiently until .0:30 y.
m, hoping to see or hear the candi-
date.
The crush was something awful.
Many of those who succeeded in getting
inside the Academy had their clothing
almost torn from them. Many cases Of
more or less severe injury We're re-
ported, one man with a broken arr,
being taken to the hospital. Hun
dreds of policemen were powerlesS to
keep the crowds in check. Bryan made
his headquarters at the Lafayette no.
tel, two blocks above the Academy on
Broad street. In front of here over g.
| 000 people gathered. DESTROYS of get
ting at least a glimpse OF the visitor.
Since it was not possible for Bryan

conducted through the basement and
kitchen of the hetel and out of the

he walked to the Academy. He man.
aged to make his way to the stage en-
| trance and got inside after an expert
| ence with the crowd that he will long
| remember. When he appeared on the
| stage his reception was tremendous,
the cheering lasting several minutes.
After his Academy speech Bryan
drove to an open air meeting at Broad
and Wharton streets. Here fully 5000
people were cOngregated. He arrived
at about 10:45, but the noise and con-
fusion was SO great that he spoke only
few words and then returned to his
hotel. Bryan spoke yesterday after-
| noon at Washington Park, N. J.. a
pleasure resort. for an hour to a large
crowd.
