DEPARTMENT EMBARRASSED.

Washington, January sS.-The failure
of Congress to act promptly on the recon-
mendation OF Postmaster General Gary
for an appropriation of $4,000 to meet
the threatened difficulty in the approprla!
ton for letter carrier service for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year is causing con-
siderable embarrassment to Postal
officials 1t WAS the original intention OF
the department to make the reductions in
the number Of deliveries in the large cities
of the east on The first of February, but
the apparent unanimity of Congressman
in favor of immediate action on Mr..
Gary's recommendation made it hesitate
about taking such action, as it was
thought likely that special appropria-
tion would be secured for the service and
now that this has not been granted
officials are undecided what course to
pursue.

Him.

Representative John G. Otis of Cincin-
natl. testified that he met L. H. Boyce
of New York in room 1885, Gibson House,

showed him $1,000, which he said he got
from Mr.. Boyce. Later, according to
Mr.. Otis, MIR. Campbell received $3.50
more, and Was promised the remainder OF
$40, 900 in Columbus. Mr.. Campbell told
Mr.. Otis this money was received or TO
for Mr.. Hanna.
Mr.. Campbell went on the stand ana
produced 81, $50 which he said he had re-
ceiyed from Mr.. Boyce, to be given to
Mr.. Otis if he voted for Mr. Hanna.

tton Boyce asserted that he represented
j. Pierpont Morgan of New York, in that
Mr.. Morgan had great interests in Ohio,

and that he was also a friend of Mr.. @.
G. Shayne of New York. Boyce said that

Shayne was to have an interview with
President Mckinley, that both tbs Presi-
dent and Mr.. Shayne were interested in
the Ohio situation. especially the former.

TWO WEEKS OF STRIKE.
And So Far Conditions Have Changed but
Little.

Boston, JanuaryR2s. The second week
Of mill troubles in three states of New
England is nearing an end and the con-
ditions in general are little changed. A
matter of interest, which may create in
ternal dissensions amongIthe strikers, oc-
CURED at New Bedford this afternoon.
Mrs. Harriet Pickering, the weaver,
who is credited with forcing the fines
system into the strike contest, attempted
to address a woman's meeting and was
practically driven from the platform
by wordy assault of the men there as
sembled The reason for this was that
the. hall had been promised to. the execu-
tive committee of the Weavers' union
and many members, thought Mrs. Pick
ering had no right there. As there is
some feeling against Mrs. Pickering
through her prominence in strike mat.
ters, more controversy is likely through
her intentions of addressing the weavers
next week. The payment of union help
of strike wages began today and the
distribution of food to the needy ones was
also arranged for.
In other mill cities there was little
change of condition or sentiment.

The Portland daily press., 1898-01-29

Mr.. Chiffon of Texas in legal argu-
ment. advocated the restoration of the
silver standard dollars to coinage and
their use in the payment OF the govern
ment's obligations.
Mr.. Nelson OF Minnesota stated that his
objection to the resolution was that it ig-
nored the duty of the government to
maintain the parity between the metals
as imposed upon 1t by law
MIR. Allison spoke of the circumstances
attending the passage Of the Stanley
Matthews resolution in 1878. To him, it
had not meant at that time declaration
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. O!her coinage measures were
then pending, and when one OF these
came over from the House the Senator
from Colorado (Teller) voted to strike out
the provision for this free coinage of silver
and voted for limited coinage agree
ment. Mr.. Allison declared that when
he was being gibbeted on the crossroads
Of public opinion for alleged Inconsistency
he wanted 1t known that the Colorado
Senator and the Ohio Senator who intro
duced the resolution in 1878. Senator
Matthews, had voted to strike out a free
coinage provision. The clear purpose OF
the pending resolution was to commit the
country to the free and unlimited coiange
of silver at 16 to 1, when it was almost
automatic that such q course, without
concurrence of other nations. would lead
us inevitably to the silver standard alone
aud to silver monometallism. And yet
Senators were asked to sanction this
monstrous oposition-monstrous in the
change it proposed. Mr.. Allison reviewed
his expressions for an international agree
ment as the only means of rehabiliating
silver and said the failure of the Wolcott
commission did not bring despair to those
who see in this method ultimate relief for
silver.
Mr.. Allison said he could not support q
resolution which would surely thrust The
country into silver monometallism.
Mr.. Teller explained that his vote in
1878 referred to by Mr.. Allison, was
given, not because of opposition to free
coinage, but because 1t was not practl-
cable then to get what was wanted:
Mr.. Gray of Delaware urged that the
resolution could accomplish nothing and
was a hollow expression. so far as 1t
affected the character Of money IN which
our bonds were to be met He regarded
the resolution as expressive of trulsm and
while superf1uous he would vote for It,.
wholly without reference to the silver
issue.
MrAllen of Nebraska. insisted that the
free coinage of silver would restore the
narity between gold and silver.
