Another plan that will probably be
adopted will be the discontinuance of
the practice of making detailed re-
ceipts of papers fled by all attorneys,
and require them to fill out the re-
ceipts, leaving to the bureau only the
task of verifying the receipt card and
stamping and mailing it.
The practice of keeping a separate
record of increase claims has been
abolished; that of jacketing claims un-
der the act of June %, 1890, when
prior claims under the same law
has been filed, has been dis
continued as useless duplica-
tions, and the adjudicating divisions
have been asked for reports as to the
number and class of June 81" claims
which have been reopened by the fl
ing of new declaration.

An ANALYSIS of the vote shows that
the affirmative vote was cast by IS
republicans, 10 democrats and pop
ulists, and the negative by 10 republi-
cans and democrats.
Prior to the final vote the motion of
Senator Hale to refer the resolution to
the committee on foreign relations
was tabled: Yeas, 81; nays, 19. Fair
banks, of Indiana, proposed a substi-
tute, providing that the president ex-
tend the good offices of the United
States to Spain towards securing an
70 1of 10
dependence of the island. This, too,
was tabled: Yeas S5, nays, Is. Then
followed the adoption of the original
resolution.
HOUSE.
Cuban affairs furnished the house to-
day with some bitter partisan debate.
The resolution appropriating $4,000
for the relief of American citizens was
adopted without a dissenting vote, but
the democrats endeavored to force con-
sideration also of the Morgan resolu-
ton for recognition of the belligerency
of the insurgents. They accused the
republicans of endeavoring to evade
this issue, but the dominant party
through its spokesman, Mr.. Hit, made
the important statement that the re-
publicans desired not to embarrass ne
gotiations which were being projected
by President Mckinley to secure the
independence of Cuba.
While Mr.. Hit disclained presiden-
tial authority for his statement, it was
well known that he had been in con-
su,tation with Mr.. Mckinley on the
question and knew whereof he spoke.
The galleries were packed and mani
tested their usual sympathy for Cuba.
The speeches were made by Messrs.
Dalzell, Bailey, Hit, GrosVenor, Will
hams, Livingstone, Wheeler, Adams,
Clayton, Mcmillan, Bell, Simpson and
Brown. Mr.. Robbins gave a graphic
description of the situation in Cuba,
based on a personal visit.

LONDON. May 22.-The Times corre-

When the crown prince arrived at
Lamia he had been practically aban-

After vainly trying to collect the
remnants of his army at Lamia the
crown prince with his staff went to
Alamana. where another attempt was
made to rally the fugitive troops. But
this was only partly successful and
during the whole of Tuesday Lamis
lay deserted and at the mercy of the

The Arbitration Treaty Declared a Fail

WASHINGTON, May 10. - Secretary
Sherman has formally notified the
British government, through Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the ambassador here, that
the United States senate, having failed
to ratify the treaty providing for
general arbitration. that document has
failed. The secretary was unable,
formally, to inform Sir Julian
of the reasons why the senate
had rejected the treaty; indeed he
is in the dark himself in that matter
for he has no notice save the statement
OF the vote in the senate of which he
must take cOgniZance. OF course it is
actually known to all parties just why
the treaty was objected to, but the alb
sence of official objections prevents any
attempt being made to meet the OBJ
jections in an amended treaty.

the purpose of Gen. Foster to expedite

as possible to Downing street, and in
the same line he will extend his jour.

II 20
LONDON, May 1s.-The harmony of
the European press on the subject of
the conditions of peace is remarkable.
The semi-oficial papers, the Times,
the Novoe Vremya, the Temps, the
North German Gazette and the Frem-
denblatt, are as one in the vigorous
terms in which they denounce Turkeys
pretensions. Now that the last obsta-
Gle to a speedy armistice is removed by
Germany, which temporarily blocked
the negotiations, having instructed
her ambassador at COnstantinople,
Baron Won Saurma-JalStch, to join the
other ambassadors in pressing upon
the porte the necessity of agreeing
upon an armistice, it can be
taken for granted that with the
innumerable forms of coercion
ready to the hands of the
powers the sultan will yield to the in
evitable within day or two, especially
as the capture of the Greek positions
at DOmokos will 60 far to satisfy the
Turkish war party.
An order telegraphed to Edhem
Pasha to cease hostilities probably in
dicates that the Turkish government
is about to yield to the demands of the
Powers. 1t is further stated that the
porte is now disposed to enter into ne
gotiations to bring about permanent
peace with Greece on terms less onerous
than those which have been heretofore
demanded.
There Is no confirmation here of the
report of disturbances at Athens,
though no doubt there are grounds to
fear a popular manifestation.

Corbett's Claim to the Oregon Senatorial
Seat.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
yesterday heard an argument by At
torney Woods, of Portland, Ore. in
support of the claim of Hon. w. Cor
ator Mitchell under the appointment
of the governor of Oregon but the
committee took no action.
Mr.. Woods contended that the ap-
pointment was valid because there has
been no session of the Oregon legisla-
ture. He held that failure to organize
the legislature was equivalent to hold
ing no session, and that for this reason
there had been an interregnum.
He also argued that it was the in
tention of the trainers of the federal
constitution that state of the Union
should be at all times represented in
the senate-that, as he expressed it,
the sovereign states should ever be
represented by their ambassadors in
the senate. The committee expect tc
pass finally upon Mr.. Corbett's case at
their next weekly meeting.

Communication Between the Turkish and

ATHENS, May 10, 1 a. m.-The COM
munication from the Turkish leader to
the Greek commander at Arta, which
followed the raising of a flag OF
truce by the former, was in Turkish

On condition that no Greek soldier belong
ing to any arm of the service remains on terri
tory of the Ottoman empire, we have orders
that an armistice shall be concluded on sea
and land. with a view of arriving at an under
standing.
YUssUF, Chief OF Staff.
The Greek commander telegraphed
to Athens for instructions, and the
government replied:
we authorize you to suspend hoStilities in Or
der to discuss the conditions OF an armistice
The government, in notifying the
ENJOYS of the powers as to this pro-
pOsal, said that as Greece had intrusted
her interests to the powers it was for
them to negotiate the conditions of an
understanding.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
TO ADVERTISERS:
Our gold bug friends have d.

Our gold bug friends have done con-
siderable "jossing" of late in regard to
the decline IN price Of silver and the rise
in the price of wheat, even the q
Press, that ablest exponent OF gold
bugism, after referring to the fact that
as a result of over production silver sold
last Friday at 5S1s cents an ounce, or "A
cents on the dollar, the lowest point ever
reached, says:
"Whlle silver has been falling to q
lower point than was ever known, wheat
has been rising. Wheat on Saturday
was 20 cents higher than at the same
time last wear. Silver was about 8 cents
lower. The fact is worth mentioning,
because it shows how completely events
have refuted the chief argument OF the
silverites-that the price Of wheat WIS
governed by that of silver and that
they always ran in parallel columns. 1t
was, of course, easy to show that the
statement was not true, but 1t so far
correspoded with the facts of recent
seasons as to seem plausible and to carry
great weight with multitudes of people"
While we are not aware that
the silverists ever made any
such statement in regard to the
parallel in the prices ct wheat
and silver, we have never yet seen the
Pioneer Press or any other responsible
authority disprove the general princi.
pie that since the demonstration of sill
YER, it and ali other products of the
factory, plantation and farm, wheat in
cluded, have fallen in price as gold ap-
preclated. And that same general prin-
pie holds good to-day notwithstanding
the continued decline in the price of sill
yer and the temporary or spasmodlc rise
from an extraordinary cause n the price
of wheat. The latter is only q OF the
many products of the soil and labor
which rewards the toll of the husband
man, and if, Ia the general average OF
price as fixed by the money OF the world
it should rise, then something else has
correspondingly lost. Prices in gen
eral, of silver, wheat and all other pro-
duets of labor are relatively fixed by the
quantity of gold. The exceptional squirt
in wheat just now only goes to strength
en- the rule. Now what are the facts:
As measured by gold silver has reached
the lowest point ever touched. 1t il
easy to see that under the present mon
etary system it. will soon be much lower
But this is not reassuring to the great
masses of people-laborers and debtors
for the prices Of all products in genera
reached the lowest point July l, evel
known 40 to that time. Since 1873 silver
has fallen greatly in value, relative to
gold. 1t has fallen 53.7 per cent. But
the general fail in prices of products q
human toll, wheat included, have also
fallen AZ per cent. Ia other words
relative to other things, the purchasing
power of silver has only fallen 1877 pei
cent while the purchasing power Of golc
has increased 734 per cent. Which is
the more honest money? and which has
been robbing the debtor at the most
fearful rate:
