A SILVER CONFERENCE
Views Brought Forward at Gathering at
Senator Tellers House.
Effort to Preserve Harmony Among
Members of Parties FavOrinE
the White Metal.

The learest thing to a formal caucus of
silver men yet held was at the house of
Senator Teller the other night, numerous
leaders being present. Representatives
Hartman and Towne were among the num-
ber Gen. A. ]. Warner. president of the
Rimetallic League, was also present. Gen.
Warner outlined the proposed plans of the
executive committee of the Bimetallic
Union for a continuance of the campaign
for silver, and these plans received the
hearty Endorsement of the gathering.
Those present agreed that campaign of
education should be kept up. One of the
matters discussed was the resumption of
the publication of the Bimetallist, the Or
gan Of the union. 1t Is expected that the
paper will resume publication. 1t will be
heartily supported by leading silver men.
There was no formal discussion of the
attitude of the silver men in Congress.
There Is general understanding that
events will be left to care for themselves.
As it is not probable that there will be any
tariff or financial legislation at this ses-
sion it was considered unnecessary to talk
over a question which had not been reach
ed The announced intention of the silver
men to hold q formal caucus was based on
the supposition that the Dingley bill would
make its appearance
1t Is generally agreed among silver men
that when the extra session is called, they
will meet In caucus and shape their policy.
It Is proposed that this caucus shall be gen.
eral and that there will be no discrimina-
tion. If there is a strong division of senti-
ment in the caucus, the chances are that
to prevent i'll feeling, or split, each man
will agree to act as he thinks best. Above
everything else, it is understood, the sill
yer men of all parties hope to prevent
pickering, so as not to disrupt the union
that existed in the last campaign. This. of
course sounds pretty. and is a sentiment
which all forces can freely express now.
whether 1t will turn out in the desired
way Is another question Fears are occa-
s;onalIy expressed that the rivalry between
the democratic and populist parties may
produce an outbreak at an unexpected mo-
ment which may last through years.

The Supreme Courts Decision In the
Phtllips-Payne Case.
In the case of Phillips VS.. Payne. referred
to in the discussions of retrocession, the
Supreme Court avoided the question OF
whether the retrocession was in violation
OF the Constitution, expressly deciding the
case upon the fac" that Virginia being dc
facto possessed of the territory, neither
that state nor the United States ever hav-
ing objected. taxpayer in Alexandria
county cannot question the validity Of the
retrocession.
The syllabus of the opinion vas as fol-
lows:
Syllabus: Since 1S47, pursuant to the acl
oI congress of the preceding year, The
state Of Virginia has been in de facto DOS
st ssion of the county of Alexandria, which
prior thereto, formed a part of the District
or Columbia. The political department OF
ner government has. since that date. uni
iormiy asserted, and the head Of her
judicial department expressly affirmed, her
title thereto. Congress has, by more thar
one act, recognized the transfer as q set
tied fact A resident Of that county, In a
suit to recover the amount paid by him
under protest for taxes upon his property
there situate. is, therefore, estopped from
raising the question as to the validity of the
retrocession.' =,
This case was decided by the United
States Supreme Court in 1878, Mr.. Justice
Swayne delivering the opinion of the
court. The plaintiff IN error, the plaintiff In
the court below, sought to recover the
amount OF taxes paid by him to the de-
fendant. on the ground that the act Of 1916
and the law Of Virginia reannexing the
county to the stats and extending Vir-
ginia's jurisdiction s5ter 1t, are contrary to
the Constitution of:she United States, and
Illegal and void. The defendant demurred
and the court beloH Sustained the demurrer
and gave Judgment for the defendant
In speaking forathe Supreme Court, Mr..
Justice Swayne said the question presented
was whether theres~as error in that ruling
OF the lower COURTS Then he goes on ia
say that the Supreme Court. in affirming
the Judgment beldT. based its decision NOT
on the question presented by the plaintiff in
error. but upon the fact that Virginia was
de facto In possession of the territory in
question. Neither Virginia nor the United
States has ever obJscted to the retrocession
of the territory. Therefore. he says, .'the
plaintiff in error is estopped from raising
the point he seeks to have decided He
cannot. under the circumstances, vicarious-
ly raise a question, nor force upon the
parties to the compact an 1ssue which
neither OF them desire to make. In this
litigation we are constrained to- recognize
the de. facto condition of things Which
exists with reference to the county o1
Alexandria as conclusive Of the rights OF
the parties before u.s.
