fellow men. In one of Kennedy's pock-
cts was black domino mask. Distribu-
ted about his clothes were the several
pieces Of disjointed shotgun.
In addition to these were a 45-caliber
revolver and liberal supply Of cart

Teller Resolution Adopted by the De
eisive Vote Of .. To 3: Party Lines he'd.
1y Broken aud . Few senators Did See
Answer TO Their Names
Washington. Jan. 29.-After q debate,
animated at all times and occasionally
acrimonious. which occupied the great
er part OF this week. the senate last
evening. by the decisive vote Of q to q,
passed the Teller concurrent resolution.
The resolution Of practical re-afiirma-
ton Of that OF Stanley Matthews in 1857,
and Is as follows: That al; the bonds Of
the United States. issued or authorized
to be issued under the SAID acts Of con-
gress hereinbefore recited, are payable.

the government of the United States in
tiivcr dollars Of the coinage of the Unit
ed States containing 4l2is grains each
Of standard silver: and that to restore
To its coinage such silver coins as a le-
gal tender in payment of said bonds,
principal and interest. is not in viola
ton Of the public faith nor in jeroga-
tion OF the rights Of the public cred
tor"
Would Not Even Pledge to Parity.
All efforts to amend the resolution
were voted down by majorities ranging
from 5 to %. Lodges gold standard
substitute being defeated by the latter
majority. The vote on the Lodge
amendment was ayes, "a; nays, 50. But the
mildest Of the amendrents-from a sill
Yer standpoint-that declaring 1t the
duty Of the government to maintain the
parity of all its forms of money, was
defeated by vote of 43 to 81. The
events Of the day leading up to the fina!
vote were full of interest and impor-
lance. 1t was a field day for the orators
of the senate. no less than twenty-five
senators embracing the opportunity to
speak upon the subject under discus
sion. The galleries were crowded
throughout the day. and several Of the
speakers said the discussion was but
the preliminary alignment of the great
political parties for the contest Of 1900
From 10 o'clock in the morning until Z
In the evening the contest was con-
tinued.
Party Lines Were Much Broken Tn.
When the voting began IL was evi.
dent that party lines were being broken
on both sides Of the chamber, but it was
on the substitute offered by Lodge that
the most decided break occurred. On
the Republican side Allison ard Bur-
rows did not answer to their names on
that roll-call. and many of the Repub-
licans voted directly against 1t. Upon
the final passage OF the resolution some
Republicans who supported Mckinley
and the st. Louis platform in 1896. like
Carter, Chandler. Clark Of Wyoming,
Pritchard Of North Carolina. Shoup Of
Idaho. Warren Of Wyoming and VOL
cott voted for the resolution because. as
Wolcott announced. they did not believe
the resolution committed those who sup
ported IL to the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver.
