A PECULIAR WAY
Has the House Committee on Banking
of Securing Internationally to
Hear Silver Men.

Washington, January 20.-The cur.
rency hearing before the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency con-
tined to-day, eX-Secretary Fairchild
being heard through the morning, with
the understanding that Secretary Gags
would resume at 2 o'clock The in
quiries of Mr.. Fairchild were along the
line of developing the degree of sue
cess with which the Monetary Com
mission bill could be put into practical
operation. Considerable feeling has
been aroused by the determination Of
the committee, on a party vote, not to
hear President Warner, of the Bimetal-
lie Union, and Chairman Towne, of the
Silver Republican National ommittee,
unless these gentlemen prepared bill
and assumed responsibility for it.
Mr. Cox, the senior member of the mi.
nority, says this action is equivalent
to declining to hear the silver repre-
sentatives under any circumstances, al
they do not wish to appear as the advo-
Gates of any currency or banking bill,
but to resist such a measure if on gold
lines. Mr.. Cox takes the view that it
is as important to present the opposi-
ton to the pending measures as it is
to hear the points in their favor. He
expresses confidence that the majority
on the committee will reconsider it's
action and grant a hearing to Messrs.
Warner and ToWne without conditions,

AN ARMOR PLANT.
The Government VIII Open Bids on the
goth of January.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-Secretary
Long accompanied by Chief Constructor
Hichborn, Chief O'Neil of the Bureau of
Ordnance, and Judge Advocate General
Lemley appeared before the Senate com
mittee on naval affairs yesterday The
secretary said that the navy department
had prepared plans and specifications
calling for an armor plant under the last
naval appropriation bill, and that esti-
mates on the cost of land, tools and ma
chinery necessary to equip the plant had
been made. The bids were to be opened
on the 18th inst, and he thought several
bids would be made.
Secretary Long also said that in view
of the report of the committee which he
had appointed to consider the question of
a government armor plant. and their re-
port on the great cost and delay it would
involve. he had entered into further ne
gotiations with private armor plants now
furnishing armor for other ships, and he
believed that he could make a contract
for the supply of armor plate for the
Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin. now I'M
der course of construction which would
be ready whenever the ships were ready
to receive it, at the rate of s4o0 a ton.
The secretary recommended, in view of
the circumstances. that an arrangement
to this effect should be made.
From the secretary's statement, corrob-
grated by statements by Commodore
Hichborn and Capt. O'Neil, it appears
that the cost Of a government plant prop
erly equipped would be from $500 600 to
$4,5OO,0OO. He said that this estimate in
cludes all machinery for making armor
plate guns and projectiles, and added
that if the government adopts the policy
of providing its own plant no armor
could be expected from such plant for
about three years.

MADE NO PROGRESS.
Interstate Miners and Operators Con
ference Still at Work on the Scale-The
Ohio Pennsylvania Differentiai

CHICAGO, January 20.-No progress
was made in to-day's session of the inter-
State bituminous coal operators and
miners conference No report was re-
ceived from the scale committee. but at
the afternoon session, President Ratch-
ford of the mine workers. and Walter S.
Boyle. of the Indiana operators delega-
ton, appeared before the convention to
as kmore time. They explained that a
vast amount of labor had already been
done by the committee and assured the
delegates that it was for the best inter-
ests of both employers and employees to
proceed with the utmost elaboration, and
expressed a belief that every obstacle now
before the coal trade would be removed.
Ohio and Pennsylvania operators did
not reach an agreement on the nine cent
differential which is the stumbling block.
1t was stated that the Pennsylvania oper-
ators insisted upon an entire removal of
the differental, except as it is applied to
the Hooking Valley. which they concede
is entitled to the lowest rate. Hon II. u
CHAPMAN. of Ohio, it is alleged, opposed
the wiping out proposition and finally
dropped out Of the struggle. 1t IS the
general opinion that a report will be pre-
scented to the convention tomorrow

A DECISIVE VOTE.
The Teller Resolution Taken Up in
the Senate by Vote Of Al to %.

Washington, D. c., January 20.-By
the decisive vote of Al to % the Senate
to-day decided to proceed to the con-
sideration of the resolution introduced
few days ago by Mr.. Teller, of Col
orado, providing for the payment of
bonds of the United States in silver ut
the option of the government. The
resolution provides: THAT all bonds
Of the United States issued or Author
lied to be issued, under the said acts
of Congress hereinbefore reclted, are
payable, principal and interest, at the
option of the government of the United
States, in silver dollars of the coinaSe
of the United States containing four
hundred and twelve and Ono-hait
grains each of standard silver; and
that to restore to it's coinage such Sill
yer coins as are legal tender in pay
ment of said bonds, principal and in
terest is not in violation of the public
faith, nor in derogation OF the rights
of the public creditor"
Mr. Vest of Missouri, the member of
the finance committee, who had charge
of the resolution, spoke briefly upon the
bill, but disclamed any desire at this time
to thresh over the old straw of financial
discussion. He believed, however, that
the time was ripe for reiteration with
emphasis of the declarations of the STAN
ley Matthews resolution, which had been
placed on the statute books twenty years
ago, particularly in view of recent state
ments of the secretary of the treasury,
in which the President, who had as
member of the House, voted for the orig
inal resolutions evidently concurred.
Mr. Vest announced MS intention to
secure final vote upon the Sesulutlon as
soon as one could be reached, and accen-
tuated his intention by forcing the dis
placement of the Census bill with the Tel
Ter resolution as the unfinished business.
The vote was taken by yeas and nays
on Mr. Lodges motion, and it was de-
feated: Yeas. q; nays. 50. The Demo
Gratis all voted in the negative and were
joined by Senators Butler, Cannon, Heit-
field. Kyle, Perkins, Pettigrew, Quay,
Shoup Stewart, Teller, Warren and VOL
colt This vote was a test of the strength
Of the silver men, although two or three
gold Democrats and one gold Republican
(Quay) voted in the negative.

The effect of to-day's work is to

end of the struggle apparently as far

best informed will not venture upon
a positive prediction as to the outcome
and no claims are made, save by boast

both the leading candidates made gains
to-day, it is equally true that both are
far from the goal and both have shown
nearly, if not quite, the full extent of
their present following. But one thing
is made clear, and that is the fact that
perfect sympathy and unity exists be-
tween the Democrats and the boiling

Berry rushed East, obtained i POL
ton of his inheritance and h':rrie1
back to dazzle the regions tnat only
knew him as a knight of the highways.
He seemed to have determined to make
up for the thirty-one years ne mad
been dead broke and ragged, and
clothed himself gorgeously. He went
lack to places that mad known him as
a hobo, and rewarded like a prince
those who had done him a1y favor.

who held the head of the steed received
ST. bartender in the town who had
once loaned him 81 in his hardest luck
was hunted up and rewarded with $1,000
in bills. A babe smiled at him and Berry
left $40 bill in it's dimpled fist. A pass
ing tramp tipped his ragged hat to the
Respondent Berry and was give dollar.
Then he proposed to Miss Sadie Miller,
Of Mt. Vernon. Ill. Miss Miller did not
let Berrys ardor cool The entire second
floor of the Park Hotel in Salem was
rented a brass band hired and the honey
moon was celebrated in a fantastic fash
ion. Berry offered to buy the house where
Bryan was born, and entertained at big
dinner all the farmers he could find who
had entertained him in his tramp days.
Inside of ten days Berry was taken to
court dressed like d beau and charged
with abandonment of his bride. He tore
a $50 0bill into bits in court He cheered
and lvened many western cities and
towns and landed in Louisville, where he
swept the town with 500 bills and 81 tips
for even toothpicks.
When he reached Paducah, Ky, he
sought the river front and turned his tall
ents loose. 'Longshoremen had a royal
time. He scattered bills nom end to end
of the levee. Then one morning three
weeks ago he was found unconscious
down by the river with a broken leg.
Berrys constitution had suffered in the
violent contrasts of his tramp and mill
lionaire careers, and he died.
