TELLER'SR RESOLUTION
TAKEN UP IN THE SENATE.
It Provides for Payment of Bonds In Sill
ver at the Option of the Government.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 21.-By the
decisive vote of Al to 25 the Senate to-
day decided to proceed Mt once to the
consideration of the resolution intro
duced few days ago by Mr.. Teller
of Colorado. providing for the pay
ment Of bonds of the United States In
silver at the option of the govern
ment The resolution provides:
That all bonds of the United States,
issued or authorized to be issued, un-
der the said acts of Congress herein
before recited. are payable, principal
and interest, at the option Of the gov
ernment of the United States, In sill
yer dollars of the coinage of the United
States, containing 412h grains each
of standard silver; and that to restore
to Its coinage such silver coins as le-
gal tender In payment of said bonds,
principal and interest. is not in viola
tion of the public faith nor in deroga-
tion of the rights of the public credi-
tor.
Mr.. Vest OF Missouri, the member or
the finance committee who had charge
of the resolution. spoke briefly upon IT.
but dIsclaimed any desire Mt this time
to thresh over old straw of financial
discussion. He believed, however,
that the time was ripe for n reitera-
tion with emphasis of the declarations
of the Stanley Matthews resolution,
which had been placed on the statute
books twenty years ago, particularly
in view of recent statements or the
secretary of the treasury, In which the
President, who had ms n member of
the House. voted for the original reso-
lutions, evidently concurred.
Mr.. Vest announced his intention to
secure n final vote upon the resolution
as soon MS one could be reached, and
accentuated his intention by forcing
the displacement of the census bill,
with the Teller resolution as the unfin-
ished business.
The day. after o'clock, was spent
In executive session.

tine secured the adoption of n resolu-
ton empowering the committee to In

Americans. -
Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. PA special
to the Times Union and Citizen from
Key West says:
There has been much excitement in
this city during the last twenty-fOur
hours. due to an alarming telegram
from Havana stating that the streets
had been flooded with an anonymous
ultra Spanish circular calling upon all
nnti-American elements to moboliZe
and raid the American colony. Captain
General Blanco. fearful that the rabid
element OF the city might attempt such
violence. has placed an extra military
guard around Consul General Lees Of
flee. Many of the Americans of the
city, who believe they are in real dan
ger, have prepared their affairs for any
emergency. This news is what gave
rise to the rumOr that General Lee had
been assassinated.
The feeling of uneaSiness felt here
because of the proximity of this city
has been much allayed, especially since
this morning Mt 10 o'clock, when Ad-
miral Sicnrd's fleet of battleships. con-
sisting of the New York. Indiana, Mas
sachusetts. Iowa and Texas. arrived
Off the bar. The Maine. Montgomery
and Detroit. and torpedo boats Gushing
and Dupont, left the hnrbor Mt II
O'Clock and Joined the fleet. the whole
making an lmpressively formidable ap-
penrnnce and one inspiring confidence
in the strong right arm of Uncle Sam.

STORMS IN THE EAST.

Heavy Fall of Snow with High Winds.
Milwaukee. Wis, Jan. 24.-The most
severe blizzard which has visited this
city in years continued in its fury until
about o'clock this morning Snow to
the depth of eighteen inches has fallen
and with the wind blowing at the rate
OF fifty miles per hour great drifts
We're formed in all parts of the city,
making travel almost an impossibility.
Railroad trains came in very irregu-
larly and only passenger trains. each
with the aid of several locomotives, at
tempted to get through. those carrying
freight being abandoned. Every tele-
graph wire in the state was crippled,
and news from the outside world was
received over the long distance tele-
phone wire.
None of the boats of the different
lines entering Milwaukee ventured out
last night So far as known. no mis-
hnps on the lakes are known to have
occurred.

POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITS.
Move to use the Funds to Build Good
Roads.

Move to use the Funds to Build Good
| Roads.
Washington. Jan. 24.-General Roy
stone, special agent of the Department
OF Agriculture In charge of the good
roads movement. says that the amend
ment proposed by Representative
Stone of Pennsylvania to the postal
savings bank bill will be the chief
topic for discussion ut the next meet
ing of the national league for good
roads, and that the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen also proposes to make
an energetic crusade in favor of its
adoption. This amendment proposes
that the deposits in postal savings
banks shall be invested in county
bonds issued for meeting the expenses
of highway improvements and guaran-
teed by the government. General Stone
says he Is receiving letters from all
parts of the country and from many
organizations expressing their npproy-
nj Of this proposition not only because
it insures good roads, but will keep the
money deposited in the postal savings
banks in the country districts and ex-
pend 1t for the benefit of the deposit
ors.
"rhe greatest objection that has been
raised to postal savings banks" said
General Stone. sis that it will be like
ly to drain the country districts of
money for investment in government
bonds and other securities that will lie
idle and bring no apparent benefit to
the people. But nearly every man l
have heard from who has raised this
objection admits that the investment
of the money in the improvement of
the highways of the country will salts
fy the opposition and strengthen public
sentiment in favor of the bill.
"The postmaster general objected mt
first" said General Stone, because he
thought 1t was Populism, but since he
has made an investigation he has
changed his mind and now gives the
proposition his Endorsement. The men,
bers Of the Republican National com
mittee have also taken an interest in
the matter and will encourage 1t as n
political Issue. l believe that n great
deal more money would be brought into
the postal savings banks IL the depos-
itors realized that it Is going to be in
vested In their own locality to improve
their property and condition"
General Stone will go before the
postotfice committee when the bill is
taken up and make an argument in
support of the amendment.

MARYLAND.s SENATOR.
Possibility That the Republicans May Not
Elect.

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 21.-The Gener-
nj Assembly of Maryland, in joint ses-
sion, to-day took three ballots for n
United States senator. without result.
The last ballot resulted ms follows: Nc
Comas 40, Shaw IS, German Al. Find
lay 2. Pnrran 3, Milliken 2, Shrock 2
total, ia.
The effect OF to-day's work Is to leave
the solution of the senatorial problem
ms much In doubt. and the end Of the
struggle apparently as far of, as it
was before the balloting began.
While 1t Is true that both the leading
candidates made gains to-day, 1t is
equally true that both are far from the
gonl, and that both have shown near
ly. II not quite, the full extent of their
present following. But one thing is
clear, and that is the fact that perfect
sympathy exists between the Demo-
Gratis and the bolting Republicans in
the Baltimore city delegation.
There is now no doubt whatever that
the Democratic contingent stands ready
to cast its ballot for Republican. Who
that Republican will be is as yet unset
tied, but the belief that 1t will be Will
lam T. Malster, mayor of Baltimore, or
Major Alexander Shaw, Is growing,
and the McComas men no longer at
tempt to disguise the fact that they
dread such an outcome.

OFFICE FOR A WOMAN.
is COMMISSIONER FOR ALASKA.
VIII Lead Club of Her Own Sex to Take
Up Claims Near Cooks Inlet.

Chicago. ILL.,, Jan. 24.-John G. Brady,
governor OF the district of Alaska. has
lust sent to Miss Florence King of
Chicago n roll of parchment which
makes her commissioner of deeds for
Alaska. She Is the first woman to be
appointed or to hold office In the dis
trict.
The duties of the position include the
filing of mining claims as well as the
registration of deeds.
Miss King Is at the head of the Wo-
mans Alaska Gold Club. which is to
send $50 women TO the gold region OF
the far northwestern territory. She
will be stationed at Sunrise City on
Cooks inlet. one of the southern bays,
and ten days out from Seattle. 1t is
just about this inlet that she proposes
to lead her army of women, who will
start as soon as the weather is open
enough for them to venture into the
cold country.
"'rhe first club has been filed and n
second is now in process of formation"
said Miss King In her office in the Mon
adnock building yesterday. An Of
fee has been opened In New York un-
der the direction of DIR. Ella A. Jen.
nings and many applications are COM
ing In from that branch. The gold
seekers will have ship of their own,
one having been chartered for our use.
The party will not be exclusively made
up OF women. as some of the husbands
will be permitted to go along for com
pany.'
"On January 2Sth n prospector Will
sail for Cooks inlet from Seattle in
the interests of the club. He is an ex-
perienced man and has spent some
years In Alaska. He will locate claims
for the women, who file them with me
when they reach Alaska. A company
which is already operating around
Sunrise City Will work the mines on
shares for our club members, so that
no woman who goes need fear that
she Will herself have TO dig the ore out
of the earth.
'Thc region surrounding Cooks inlet
Is said to have coal, oil. copper and
gold. and while no such rich dicov-
cries have been made as those on the
Yukon in the Klondike country the
mildness of the climate permits the
working of the mines nearly all of the
year and in this way makes up for the
lack of wonderfully productive mines"

Play Said to he Endorsed by Democratic
Silver Leaders.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-Demo-
cratic free silver leaders have resolved
upon an experiment in political cam
paign work. Under the influence of
Senator Jones, Representatives McMil-
Ian, Chauncey +. Black, Representa-
tives Slayden. Simpkins and others, a
company of Washington and Virginia
politicians and business men have in
:0spOrated under the name of The
American Drama Company.
Among the directors are Lawrence
Gardner, secretary of the Congression-
al committee; Marshall w. Wines.
Robert e. Mattingly and Major E. w.
Anderson of this city. The first play
to be produced is the "The Curse of
Cold" which, the free sllverites claim,
is another "Uncle Toms Cabin" and
from 1t they ardently expect the great
est results. Senator Stewart predicts
great success for 1t and Senator Allen
thinks 1t will be received by the West
and South enthusiastically. Samuel
Gompers, president. and Charles Nor
rison, secretary. of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, are advocates of it,
and Knights of Labor Assembly No.
&C owns stock in the corporation. 1t
will be put on the road very soon.

Victoria, r. c., Jan. 21.-Orders have
been received at Esauimault by Rear
Admiral Palliser from the admiralty.
lnstructing him to have every vessel in
his feet ready to start for China on
forty-eight hours notice.
Immediately all was hustle around
the dock yard, the crews of the differ
ent vessels being busily engaged rush
ing coal and provisions on board. Then
came an order for her majesty's ship
Pheasant to start on her trip across the
Pacific to-day, she being nearer ready
than others. Tonight she will be well
out to sea. Later Instructions were re-
ceived for III. NJ. S. Impcriuse, the flag
ship of the station. to proceed to the
scene Of activity. She will sail on Sat
urday. 1t is not likely unless the con-
ditions In the Orient reach climax,
that the other vessels at present here
will be ordered there.
