BURY TELLER'S BILL.
SPEAKER ReEDvOTES WITH HIS PAR
TY AGAINST THE RESOLUTION
Had His Name Called Although 1t Is Not
Customary For the Speaker to Vote.
Only Five Hours Allowed For Debate,
Rhea Kissed For Reference to Sherman.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The house of
representatives Monday buried the
Teller resolution, declaring the bonds
OF the United States payable in silver
under an adverse majority of so votes.
Ihe Republicans were solidly arrayed
III opposition with two exceptions, Lin
ney IN. O., who voted with the Demo
Gratis and Populists, and White IN. o.,
the only colored member of the house,
who answered present. when his
name was called. The desertions from
the Democratic side were McAleer pa
and Elliott Is. C.), both voting with
the Republicans against the proposition.
Speaker Reed. although it is not custo-
mary for him to vote, had his name
called, and amid the cheers of his fol-
lowers, went on record in opposition to
the resolution.
The vote was reached after five
hours OF debate. under special order
adopted at the opening of the session.
The limited time allowed for debate
and the pressure of members for an op-
portunity to be heard was so great that
the leaders on both sides were CON-
PEELED to farm out the time by minutes.
This detracted much from the contin-
uity of the discussion, but it also in
measure intensified the interest in the
galleries, which were crowded all day,
and the conlbatants on the floor were
cheered by their respective sympa-
thizers
Senators Listen to Arguments.
Many of the senators from the other
end of the capital were also present to
listen to the arguments. The majority
under the leadership Of Mr.. Dingley,
who made'a carefully prepared speech,
sounding the keynote of the opposition,
assumed the position that the last
clause Of the resolution, was really
disg uised paragraph for the free coin
age of silver, while assaulting the DEM
ocrats, who under Mr.. Bailey main.
tanned that the defeat of the resolution
was another step in the direction of the
establishment of the gold standard, to
which they alleged the president aud
Secretary Gage had irrevocably COM
mitted themselves. The debate was
fast and furious, but no sensational in
cidents, beyond the Kissing of Rhea
(Ky.), when he said that as the "author
OF the crime of '73'' the hottest place in
hades would be reserved for the present
secretary of state. The vote on the res
oiutlon was, ayes, 1872; nays, 1872.

ROYAL BLUE TRAINS.

In september last, railway officials
from London were sent to America, to
get ideas on the railway passenger
service of the leading lines in this
country, and In their official report,
which was printed in the London
Times IN January, it was stated that
the "Royal Blue Line" series of mag
nificent passenger trains, running be-
tween New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington, lead the world
for quick and exquisite train service.
The Royal Blue Line" service con-
sists OF nine elegant passenger trains
day in each direction between the
cities named above. They are the
finest and fastest trains in the world.
Their equipment was built especially
for the service by the Pullman Com
pany, and includes every modern con-
venlence known for the comfort of
passengers. The trains are. vestibuled
from end to end, and hauled by the
strongest and fastest locomotives in
the United States.
The exquisite day coaches of these
trains are worthy of special note.
They are beautifully upholstered,
each containing a Washroom and
smoking compartment.
The parlor cars are the most pala-
tial ever built, being fully seventy
three feet long. In addition TO. this
service, three new parlor cars were
added in April, and are the first of
this kind ever run; they are richly up
holstered and ornamented throughout
in most beautiful designs. A ladies'
retiring-room is provided in one end
of the car. This room, which is six
feet square, is furnished with beauti-
full dresser with large mirror and
number of drawers. On each side of
it are upholstered corner seats. In an
other corner is bookcase and station
ary washstand. The room was de-
signed for especial comfort of ladies,
who have always claimed men had the
best of it when travelling. The usual
smoking apartment, however, is at the
opposite end of the car.
The dining cars are operated by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company,
and especial attention is given to the
season, and the service is unsurpassed.
In addition to the already perfect
service of "Royal Blue Trains" men,
tlOued dOOVS, tuSIS Will US put iHlO
service May IS "Royal Limited"
train, which will leave New York at LOO
P. NJ, making the run to Washington
in FIVE hours. Returning, the "Roy-
al Limited will leave Washington at
800 P. NJ, arriving New York at $40
P M. The "Royal Blue Line" will
then boast of three trains which make
this extraordinary fast time between
Washington and New York, which
has never been attained by any other
line. The "Royal Blue Trains" be-
tween Baltimore and Washington
make the run in FORTY-FIVE MIN
! lUTES-the fastest regular service ever
attained between the two cities.
The terminal at New York City is
the most convenient for all points in
Greater New York. Passengers can
land at South Ferry (Whitehall Ter
minaD, where, under the same roof,
connection is made with the elevated
lines of the second. Third, Sixth and
Ninth Avenues, and the Broadway,

THE IMMUNES.

So much doubt and misinformation
is current in regard to the above
named volunteers, and SO many are
claiming the credit for their organiza-
tion, that it seems perfectly proper
and to vindicate the truth of history
that the true facts should be stated
The credit for the Immune" amend
ment to the supplemental army bill is
due to citizen of the District of Co.
lumbia and not to Col. James Lewis as
has been often stated.
The original bill known as SEN
ate bill 4468 was introduced by SEN
ator Proctor and provided for enlist
ing three regiments of engineers to be
additional to the increase volunteers
provided for by the Act of April 22nd
1898. The Hon. George H. White
had vainly endeavored to get an
amendment through providing for an
increase of the colored representation
in the Army, but was unsuccessful.
many objectlng TO the use of any term
specially designating certain regiments
TO be composed of colored men, and
the matter then was dropped. The
same proposition introduced by Sem
ator Proctor was presented in the
House Of Representatives by Gen.
Wheeler, but did not meet with favor
until the War Department officials
gave it their endorsement. 1t was
then that our citizen seeing that the
whites would secure three additional
regiments and the colored people
none, drafted the immune" amend
ment and asked the writer hereof to
find Col. Lewis and get him to carry it
over to Gen. Hawley, chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs, this
was done and the world knows the
rest. The fact that the proposition orig
mated with colored man connected
with the capital, causes the deep Bit
terneSS which has grown out of its
administration by the War Depart
ment. What was intended for the
colored people wholly to enable them
to have honorable representation in
the volunteer army, organized for the
defense of the country was used as an
instrument of insult and humiliation.
Not only did the War Department de-
prive the colored men of six of the
ten regiments provided, but posi-
lively refused to commission any col
ored man as a line officer higher
than first lieutenant. Upon no other
race was any such humiliating condi-
tionS imposed and that done by the
party to whom they had given in the
national contest 95 per cent of their
votes. At no time and in no other
one thing has the colored race been
SO cruelty treated as in this 'iMmune"
matter. All over the country the col
ured men are running Independent
tickets, in that manner exhibiting
their deep resentment over their un-
fair treatment. In the District of Co.
lumbia their suffering from official dis
elimination has all the bitterness of
death, with no relief in sight. 1t re-
mains TO be seen what action the col
ored people of the country will take.
If the War Department is to be inves
tigated as TO its management of the
war, it certainly would be proper for
the colored people of the country to
present their grievance.

MUST PAY ALIMONY.

The question of alimony and coun-
sci fees in the case of Nina Eliza
Pinchback Toomer against Nathan
Toomer for divorce was argued Mon
day by counsel before Justice Cox in
Equity Court No. 1. The complain
ant in the suit is the daughter of form
er Gov. Pinchback, of Louisiana, a
well-known politician, now resident
of this city. Toomer, who appeared
in court, was shown by his attorneys
to be a responsible and well-to-do
business man of Atlanta, Ga, man
of considerable wealth, and manager
of large estate, whereupon the court
remarked that if such was the case he
was fully able to pay his wife 500 a
month alimony and SIS counsel fees
and entered decision accordingly.

ROBBED OF HIS OWN CONVIC-
TON.

Recently the attention of the BEE has
been called to the fresh outrages per-
petrated at the southern ballot box.
1t is admissible that large majority
of the colored voters in the South are
ignorant and unable to read. This
reasonable estimation give rise to an
idea, that the stuff-ballot system orig
mates and damns the morals of the
innocent. Many colored voter has his
name forged on a ticket that he knows
nothing about and seems satisfied be-
cause he is ignorant respecting his well
fare and interest. In some of the
southern districts the colored popula-
ton excels by large ratio and yet
when representatives come from those
districts they are white men. 1t does
not seem plausible that this is the right
thing. While illiteracy may exist to
high degree in the South among the
major portion of the colored people, il
is hardly feasible that they would
elect men to Congress who in many
instances challenge their right of cit
izenship. This part of the question
needs no discussion and the more con-
servative conclusion is, that some
thing is wrong and somebody must
right it. This danger, the republic
should fear more than any other, for
the political strata of country is its
back bone.

War Correspondence.

CHIcKAMAUGA. Ga., June 12, 1898
 DEAR READERS OF THE TRIBUNE: -It you all could see me today you would see such broad grin on my face that you would imag- inc that I had licked Spain single handed, but the fact in the case is 1 have just received box of nice things to eat from home, and l have also made more than one soldier mate smile by dividing my good things with them.
 We are feeling more handsome now slnce we got our new, army uniforms. Out coats are a dark blue and shirts shade darker; pants navy blue, logging reddish brown and our shoes good grade. Caps have been dispensed with and high brown hat used instead.
 Major Armistead has been called to Washington City. Some think there is some probability of the lst Ark. being sent to Washington and held in reserve. This would be nice service for us and we'd get to be held the full two years tor which we enlisted.
 1 see the Harrison boys about once a week. Len Looney comes to see me ever chance he has. He says he never expects to drink another drop of liquor. One thing sure, Len is meeting the requirements of a soldier, all right, and more generous hearted tel- low would be hard to locate. He received some money from home the other day and if I would have taken it, he would have given me half of it.
 Our grub is not what most would like, yet it is very substan- tial. We get fresh beet twice a day, potatoes and beans every meal, tomatoes once day and an occasional mess of rice for break fast, plenty of fresh lightbread and coffee. I think I can stand this ok. for two years.
 As yet have not been absent from roll call, except when on duty, and have received but few reprimands from my officers and that was caused by ignorance of what I should do.
 1 am not the least bit discouraged and am feeling as well as 1 ever did in my lie. yet we do not know how long we will stay here, but presumn we will not get away before the 4th ofJuly.
 The papers state that President Mckinley will probably visit this park on Indopedence Day. and all you Green Forest people know that it will be the treat of my life if l get to see Mckinley.

A Letter From KlOndike.

MT. Sheldon, late of California, but now resident ot Green Forest, is in receipt of letter from his brother in the Klondike country, dated at Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, April 28, from which MT. Sheldon allows us to clip the following interesting items:
 "We left Wrangel on the 25 of February and started on our long haul on the Stick cen river to Tel egraph Creek. There were three ot us in our party. We had about 1900 pounds each, and we had to make three trips to take it, so you may judge how far we have had to travel to reach this place, distance of l52 miles from Wrangel. The first two weeks that I was on the trail, 1 was aching from head to foot from hauling my sled, but finally got used to it. This is a bad ear for travelling on the river, as i. has showed too much. On ar irving here Hound the trail to Tes- linn Lake impracticable for sleds, so will change my course and go into Cassiar diggings this summer. It will cost me or s cents per pound to get my supplies packed about 73 miles.
 We hear some stories about war going on between the United States and Spain. Please send me Q paper if you can. We don't get any news, as they will not carry any newspapers yet. This letter will cost me Sl0 to send 1t to Wrangel.
 Flour is worth S25 per sack, rice, 25 cents per pound; bacon, 50 cents; sugar, 35 cents; beans, 25 cent, and this is very cheap for this place.

A Testimonial.

Wash Capps of Denver, Ark. is agent for Dr. w. H. Greens In. dian remedies for liver, blood and cold. Here is what one of his customers says:
 KIRBYyILLE, Mo-, May 20, 1898. My daughter was taken sick in 1893 at the age of l4. She had something like fits, would cramp, bite her hand and was in a fearful condition. l tried many doctors and many kinds of patent medi- cines, but she could not get any permanent relief. They said it was some kind of female trouble.
 On the l7 of last month l com menced giving her pr. Greens Indian Remedies and she began to improve at once. The spells have entirely quit and on the 23 of April sine went to church for the first time in three years. To substantiate this statement I refer you to John Pickett, John Speer, J. M. Booth, T. J.
