Bird Gave Testimony.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The war in
vestigating commission resumed it's sit
tings in this city, Colonel Charles Bird
being ON the stand. He was ON duty
during the war in the quartermastel
generals office. having charge of the
transportation division.
The congestion at Tampa was due to
the fact that more upplies were sent to
that point than could be handled.
When they learned of the congestion,
an order was issued for the marking OF
the cars and a quartermaster's agent
was sent with each car. In most cases
it was impossible to send bills of lading.
Colonel Bird also said that the trans.
ports occupied between Tampa and
Santiago had been fitted up only to
carry the men and supplies to Havana,
and this was the reason they proved
inadequate for trip of much longer
duration.

of the supply and equippage division or

The Silver Issue Still Lives.
AS frequently as the republic

n oliver ISSUE oull Ives
AS frequently as the republican
newspapers OF the county continue
to kill off the :~'silver craze" yet
the issue still lives. Banquo's
ghost isn't in it with bimetalism
when it comes to rising again.
Evidence Of this fact is furnished
again by U. S. Senator Chandler
(rep.) of New Hampshire, who
has a way Of looking matters
squarely in the face and saying
things point blank, much to the
discomfort of the republican breth-
rem close to the administration.
The senator has been talking again
and he states that the silver ques-
ton is not thoroughly dead. TIE
UNION does not claim that on this
question the distinguished gentle
man from New Hampshire is au-
thority beyond which there is no
appeal, but it does urge that his
opinion be placed along side that
of four dollar-a-week republican
editors. OF this issue Chandler
says:
81 am more convinced than ever,
that the gold standard is not to be
fastened npon the world, | &C,
knowledge that just now it looks as
If the recognition of silver was far
postponed, but this is because we
happen 10 be in position of a cred
l1or nation. We have exported
81, 200, 100000 worth of pruduce
mole Than we have imported, and
while we nave not received all the
difference in gold it has come to US
in various other forms, and We
have felt no strain. Suppose how
ever, that the tide had been run
ming the other way and that we
had been compelled to pay out this
vast sum. No one then would
have iutlma,ed that the SILVER
question was dead. No." said the
senator emphatically sit is not dead,
and while the fight may last tor 2;
years it 1VlX continue Ia be fought.
With England lace to tace with
the Indian problem and with her
failure 10 borrow the gold with
which to supply currency for India
the question is still 0e,y mueA aAve.'
The UNION suggests that the
republican press either acknowl
edge that the silver issue is still
very much alive, or else that some
one .ssee" such fellows as Chandle
and get them to stop making sucl
damaging admissions, Get to
gether, brethren.
