Private Lever of the Bluffs tells two characteristics of the fight in which be was hit when General Jeffery, with the mountain battery and escort, was hemmed in village all night by thou sands of Mohmunds. The wounded were lying under wall exposed to torrents of rain and to showers of stones which the enemy hurled down at them from houses near. It seemed impossible that any relieving force could come to their aid before daybreak O. that the mere handful of Bluffs could hold out much longer.

washington. Jan. 9.--A determination
vas reached by the leaders in the house
today that tho Teller resolution for the
payment Of bonds in silver, passed By the
senate last night. should be disposed OF
By the house on Monday. IN order that
the attitude Of mat branch of congress
nigh. be placed before the public imme-
dlately.
This conclusion was reached after num-
erous conferences between Speaker Reed,
Chairman DingIey Of ne ways and means
committee. Dalzell and Henderson. OF the
rules committee. and other influential
members Of the house.
late In the day the resolution which
had come over from the senate was re-
ferred By the speaker to the ways and
means committee and DlngJey gave no.
,ice OF a special meeting Of the commit
tee Monday morning. At the same time
he notified the democratic members OF
rne committee what his general pur-
pose was. substantially as follows:
The resolution win be considered by the
committee on Monday and an adverse re-
port made on IT, No amendment or change
in the rhraseology will be made. but the
adverse report will be on the resolution a.
It stands. This wiIl be submitted TO the
house when st convenes Monday ana
plans made to dispose Of the matter before
the days session closes. AS to the pro
cedure on the floor. Dingiey made no pre-
diction beyond saying that It was pro
posed to dispose OF the subject on Mon
day. This will doubtless require special
rule as to debate. The basis for such a
rule was presented today by Dalzin in
the form OF a resolution providing tnai

The determination to bring the subject
to an Immediate issue gave general saas
faction among the members. Some haC
