An Address Issued After Passage Oi
House Financial Bill.

! Washington, Dec. 1S.-After the pass
age to-day by the house of the financial
bill, the silver republican leaders in the
city held a meeting and adopted an
address setting forth their views as to
its effect. The address Is in part as
follows:
ITO the Members of the Republican
Party who still believe in Bi-metallism.
The passage by the house of represen-
tatives to-day of the gold standard and
bank currency bill exactly as agreed
upon by the republican caucus and
without the, opposition of a single re-
publican vote, marks the elimination
of policy long carefully pursued by
certain influences in control of the lead
ership of the republican party and JUS
titles the action of the men who in 1895
refused to remain in that organization
after the adoption of the ST Louis plat
form.
''rhe scheme we denounced in 1896
is nearing consummation. The policy
that was denied by the republican party
in that campaign stands now confessed.
Millions Of you who voted the republi-
can ticket in SO would not have done so
had you believed your party destined
so soon to be the agent of the forces
that now dominate it. Millions of you
were bimetallists In '96 and remain $50
to-day. Now that the promises then
made you are clearly, sene to have been
insincere, now that as consequence
of the deception practiced upon your
honest confidence, your country is about
to be handed over to the ownership and
control of the great speculative banks
and their associate trusts and combina-
tions; may we not appeal to you to
come to the rescue of the liberties of
the people and their imperied institu-
tions? In the spring of 1897 the under
signed took the steps leading to the or
ganization of the silver republican par
ty. Again the betrayers of the repub-
licanism Of Abraham Lincoln that par
ty resolved to wage unending war. To-
day the necessity for its work Is more
evident than ever. Come with us and
help us. We believe that the highest
devotion Of republicanism that you
once venerated demands that you op-
pose to the uttermost the present ten
denotes of the party which still wears
the name but has forsaken the princi-
pies of it's heroic days

EXHUMING MAINE VICTIMS.
Work Commenced In Havana Unde
Chaplain ChtdwIck's Direction

Work Commenced I'm Havana Under
Chaplain Chtdwtck's Direction.
Havana, Dec 1S.--This morning four
grave diggers. superintended by Chap
lain Chadwick and DR.. Macour. began
the exhumation in Colon cemetery of
the remains of the victims of the
Maine. After clearing away the tops Of
the mounds from a majority of the
graves the men set to work at o'clock
to open up the first three, which con-
tanned twenty collins. About l. O clock
this afternoon the first coffin was raised.
1t contained the remains of Joseph
Seery and was one of the few tin lined
collins in which bodies were placed some
days before the funeral took place. The
next contained the remains of Harry
Keys and the third those of Eldon Nero.
AS the collins were raised to the grave
eide, the remains were Immediately
placed in tin lined collins prepared with
lime and charcoal bottoms, after which
more lime and charcoal were used and
then the collins were carried a few
yards away, where tinsmiths nailed
down and Theoretically sealed the lids,
the names being distinctly painted
thereon.
Chaplain Chadwick, using his chart
kept strict account in each instance.
Forty coffins exhumed to-day were car
ried to the cemetery chapel about a
hundred yards away. Two watchmen
are on duty for the night The weather
was favorable. Twenty-Five soldiers
and about as many other spectators
were present A most distressing but
unavoidable feature was the necessity
of removing the broken remnants of
several collins. Father Chadwick at
first refused to allow this to be done
in the only way it seemed practicable
to remove them; but as the lime which
was originally put in as disnfectant
had caked firmly, there was no alterna-
tive

STEAMER PLYMOUTH ASHORE.
Fail River Line Boat Strikes on Reef
Off Riker's island.

New York. Dec. 19.-The steamer
| Plymouth of the Fall River line wen
ashore on a reef on the north side OF
Riker's Island last night. She hao
about 600 passengers aboard. A hole
about five feet in diameter was stove
in the boat well forward and she made
water rapidly. The captain appeared
to have lost his bearings on account of
the fog which was almost impenetra-
BILE at the time Of the accident. To
make his task Of plotting the boat all
the more precarious the tide was low.
There was considerable excitement
among the passengers, but Captain
Simmons and his crew easily assured
them that there was no danger. A boa
was lowered and several of the crew
under the first mate put off to Port
Norris, where the report of the accident
was sent by telephone to the company's
offices at Pier 10, North River.
The steamers Maine, City of Worces-
ter and several freighters owned by the
New York and New Haven railroad
were chartered by the Fall River ,line
officials and despatched with several
tugs to the disabled steamer. Such of
the passengers as desired were taken
off, but the majority decided to re-
main on the Plymouth and be towed
back with her to her pier. This, it was
said, was entirely feasible At 1.45
o'clock this morning the Plymouth was
lying on her keel listing slightly to port.
