Mr.. Teller pointed out that the pend
ing bill had no connection with the free
coinage of silver He denied also the
right of Mr.. Chandler to speak for the
Republican party in favOring cOntin-
uance of bond issues. The American
people, he believed, were not in favor
of increasing the public debt in time Of
peace.
Mr.. Teller referred contemptuously to
those "self-satisfied pharisees" who de-
claimed that they were the only ones
willing to protect the honor and credit
Of the country. The senator declared
that the silver question. whose death
and burial had been predicted, was a
most lively corpse State after state
had declared in convention for silver.

to inscribe on its banner Free Silver

Trying to Trace Murderer Hermann'a
Baggage Through Kansas City.

Kansas City, June 3.-Chief Irwin has
received this telegram from Arthur
Pratt, chief of police at St. Lake, Utah:
"Hermann's baggage. No. $50 and 10,
arrived Kansas City May 8. Which way
did it go from there? %
Detectives Hayes and Ha1pin made
a search of the baggage rooms at the
union depot and reported that Chief
Pratt would have to trace the fugitive
preachers baggage from Salt Lake,
first ascertaining over what road it had
reached Kansas City.
They reported that so far they were
unable to discover any track of the lost
baggage in this city It is believed
that Hermann's baggage went west
from Kansas City, its destination being
somewhere in the far northwest.

Washington, June 3--The project for
a Pan American congress which Sec
rotary Olney and Mr.. Smith of Mich

New York, June 3.-The World re-
Quested Robert G. Ingersou to give the
readers Of that newspaper an express
ion regarding the ceremonies surround
ing the coronation OF the GEAR 4ne col
onel complied with the request as fol-
lows.
while reading the accounts CT the
coronation Of the car OF the pageantss
professions and feast of the pOmp and
parade of the barbaric splendCrs of
cloth Of gold and glittering gems, 1
could not help thinking of the poor and
melancholy peasants. of the tOihng,
half fed millions, of the sad and ignor-
ant multitudes who belong body and
soul to the car.
II thought Of the backs that have
been Scared by the knOut- OF the thou
sands in prison for having dared to say
a whispered word for freedom, Of the
great multitude who had been driven
like cattle along the weary roads that
led TO the hell of Siberia.
The cannon at Moscow were not
loud enough, nor the clang Of the bells.
nor the blare of the trumpets to drown
the groans of the captives- I thought OF
the fathers who had been torn from
wives and children for the crime OF
speaking like men, And when the
priests spoke of the ear as the God Sc
Iacted man the Cod adorned man,
my blood grew warm
when I read of the coronation Of the
czarina thought OF siberia thought
of girls working in the mines. hauling
ore from the pits with chains about
their waists young glElS almost NAKED
at the mercy of brutal officials, young
girls weeping and moaning their lives
away because between their pure lips
the word liberty had burst into bios

yet law neglects. fOrgets them and
crowns the cza-ina- The injustice, the
agony and horror of this poor world
are enough to make mankind insane
Millions of money squandered for
the humiliation Of man to dtshOnor the
people. Back of the coronation, back OF
all the ceremony. back of all the hypoc-
rfsy. there is nothing but a lie
ut is not true that God selected this
car to rule and rob a hundred million
of human beings 1t is all an ignorant
barbaric superstitOus liza lie that
pomp and pageant and Haunting flags
and robed priests and swinging censOrs
cannot change into truth.
Those who are not blinded by the
I glare of glitter at Moscow can see mill
lions of homes on which the shadows
fall, see millions of weeping mothers

How He is Regarded By Gold
and Silver Men.
AND IT is APPARENT

From our Special Correspondent
Washington, June 3.-SenatOr Baker
absolute conversion to the cause Of gold
monometaIism and the policy Of issu-
Ing bonds has been the cause OF con-
siderable comment by senators Of both
gold and silver views The opinion OF
both sides is that Baker can be easily
played upon by shrewd politicians
Commenting on Baker a pfo4n4LleHt
senator said. Baker is a nOnenIty and
outcast SO far as position in the senate
IS concerned He hasn't any real
friends among the members Of either
faction. Coming from the west ne
espouses ultra eastern IDEAS and is false
to his own section without gaining any
thing from the east AS long as the
eastern senators can use him they VIII
coddla and pet him, but If he should
have the termerity to ask Tor anything
they would laugh at him.
Baker was an easy work for the
old schenlers OF the senate The gold
men quickly discovered that he was
weak sister and began to pay him at
tenti0n He was battered By their
compliments and made to feel that he
was one of the mighty 1T uckled his
vanity to have some Of the old sena-
tors take him down to lunch and joke
and talk with him. BY wheedling Of
this kind they won him over and are
now ChuckIing over the spectacle Of a
senator from Kansas supporting the
views of Wau street.
THE western senators, of course,
have no use for nina because Of his
treachery to the interests Of the west
They didn't spend any time on him
when he first came because they
thought he ought to stand for the west
without cOaxing-
And so it has come to pass that
Baker has no identity save that of an
appendage. an urconsulted portion Of
the gold standard faction"
Senator Baker turned another one of
his back-s0mersau in his vote on the
g.
Dill placing a tax of I5 cents per barrel
on beer. He voted to table the amend
ment. and when that was defeated vot-
ed against the amendment. This was
in direct opposition TO his views eE-
pressed when he first came to con
gress Then he favored tax Of a
dollar barrel ON beer or an Increased
duty on all spirits. In an interview
in the State Journal December 80 he
said, in speaking against the house
revenue:
More revenue is wanted What
would you do? Take the one schedule
of spirits and put specific tax Of 100
per cent on every article in it and you
Geo of needed revenue. This would put
the burden on the Demrocatic party for
according to general belief Democra is
drink more whisky than Republicans
and they would thus pay back into the
treasury some of the money their ad-
ministration has taken out
But John Sherman and Aldrich and
Morrill, were against the tax on beer.
SO Mr. Baker had to follow his leader. r
and wouldn't support it now. though
previously committing himself to it,

arrive at the conclusion that the cleo

In certain sections the corn is brown
and dead, and can be reduced to pow
