Yesterday in Congress.

The finance bill was laid before the SEN
ate, the question for discussion being the
amendment offered by the finance commit
tee to the effect that the measure is not
meant to be an obstacle to international BIZ
metallism If the leading commercial ma
tiOns of the world concur. Mr.. Hoar re-
viewed the question briefly and declared
there was no pretence or hypocrisy in this
amendment. Mr.. Morgan of Alabama,
however, denounced it as a "miserable
makeshift," and declared the bill would re-
turn us to the British system of finance.
He demanded the free coinage of silver
that the national debt might be paid. Mr..
Platt of Connecticut said he wanted to
protest against the assumption of the Dem
ocratic side that it represented the Ameri-
can people, as the question had been de-
cided against them in 1896. Representa-
tive Wheeler introduced into the House a
resolution to investigate the charges Of
former Consul Macrum which insinuate a
secret Anglo-American alliance; and 10 in
quire what steps have been taken to OBJ
tain an explanation and apology from
Great Britain relative to opening official
mail.

The free homestead bill, which is being
generally discussed in Washington, is an
extension of the homestead law over the
lands acquired in recent years by treaty
and purchase from Indian tribes, and puts
the whole public domain under the original
law. The national platforms of both Re-
publicans and Democrats have declared for
the bill, but It now meets with serious op-
position. One objection is that the gov
ernment gives away what It might sell for
from 10000, 600 to S25, ,0OO,0 900. Farmers
of the Eastern and Middle states are also
opposed TO developing arid lands of the far
West at government expense to produce
new fields of competition against the East
Friends Of the agricultural and mechanical
colleges who receive support from the gov
ernment lands under the Morrill, law also
oppose the bill.

A SIOO,OOO Bribe.

Two Montana judges testified in the
Clark case yesterday at Washington, and
most of the evidence referred directly to
the Welcome disbarment case. One of the
witnesses repeated statements made by
Mark Hewitt, a witness for the prosecu-
tion, in which the latter is said to have de-
clared that DAILY owned the court and
would stop at nothing TO defeat Clark, and
that he also expressed the opinion that
DAILY had furnished the $4,000 used by
Mr.. Whiteside in his exposure. Another
witness, Justice Hunt of the Montana su-
preme court, told of conversations in
which it was stated that "a certain party"
would give 500, 900 to have the Welcome
case thrown out of court. 1t was in his
power to do this, but he declined to discuss
the matter, and said nothing about the evil
dent attempt at bribery, becau Sc it would
have been embarrassing to him as judge.
There was, however, nothing TO connect
the name of Senator Clark with this trans
action.

The naval appropriations bill, which is
now under consideration by sub-commit-
tee of the House, will call for an expendi-
ture unprecedented in America. The ag-
gregate of the items already accepted is
500, 900, 900, and nothing has been allowed
for new vessels. A large amount must be
expen ded for the armOr for the battleships
Georgia, New Jersey and Pennyslvania,
and the armored cruisers California,
Nebraska and West Virginia, and for four
or five other battleships, The lowest price
offered on Krupp plate is now S545 ton.
The total amount which the bill will call
for is estimated as high as $75, 900, 900,
which is three times the amount for 1888,
the year Congress began on the new navy,
and five times the average appropriation
in the decade preceding 1888. The total
amount appropriated for the current fiscal
year was $51, 100000.

d. K. Pearsons of Chicago, whom Yer
monters remember with pride as a native
of Bradford, will distribute $500 600, be-
ginning March /, among several colleges
and educational institutions of the country.
DR.. Pearsons has already given many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for educa-
tional purposes. The gifts to be made this
year average $4,000 to each college, and
the donations are to be paid on condition
that each college raises an amount equal
to its gift. The first institution TO receive
its portion will be Mount Holyoke college
at South Hadley, Mass, which has already
been generously remembered by DR.. Pear
sons. The doctor was country physician
in Chicopee, Mass, years ago, and went to
Chicago, where he amassed a large fortune
in real estate transactions. A later report
from Chicago says DR.. Pearsons has de-
cided to give his entire fortune of 81, ,500,-
900 TO educational and charitable institu-
tions, on condition that he and his wife re-
ceive an annuity of two per cent on the
money as long as they live. This brings
the total amount of DR.. Pearsons's benefac-
tions up to $4,O00,O00.

The Republican national campaign pre-
sents unusual features, with no prospect of
a contest for the presidential nomination
and the second place on the ticket a-beg-
glng. Two members of McKinley's cabi-
net, Messrs. Root and Griggs, have been
quoted as averse to nomination for vice
president, and this week Gov. Roosevelt
of New York and Gen. Draper of Massa-
chusetts, the ambassador to Italy, have
come out in signed statements saying they
have no wish to be considered for the
honor. Gov. Roosevelt says his clear duty
is in his present position.

The candidacy of Charles A. Prouty of
Newport for the United States Senate has
always lacked newspaper support in the
state, but 1t was not commented upon un-
favorably until some misguided friends
doomed him in the Springfield, Mass,
Homestead as the man to stand between
the people and railroad domination, and as
farmers candidate, This brought out a
fusillade from all over Vermont, which will
materially weaken a candidacy already IN
need of tonics. Mr.. Prouty might have
been eulogized as one of the brightest and
brainlest men of the generation in Yer
mont, but exhibiting him under false col
ors arouses suspicion.

William j. Bryan was in Washington
Saturday for consultation with the lead
ers of both houses Of Congress in regard
to the time and place of holding the next
Democratic national convention and the
leading features of the declaration of prn-
ciples TO be adopted. Opinion is said to
have been very strongly in favor of hold
ing the convention prior to the meeting of
the Republican convention A. Philadelphia,
1t has been the custom for the dominant
party to convene FIRST for the nomination
Of national candidates, but the Democrats
wish to take the initiative tilis year with a
strong declaration against trusts; then if
the Republican should take similar action
they will be accused of following the lead
Of their opponents. An unequivocal de-
nunciation of Imperialism was also decided
upon, as well as a general endorsement of
the free coinage plank Of the Chicago con-
vention Of 1896. The Democrats will
meet in a western city, probably Kansas
City.

The abrogation Of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty was hailed as a great diplomatic
triumph for Secretary of State Hay, but
parliamentary secretary for foreign Office
tells the British House of Commons that
England has made no concessions. Gov.
Roosevelt of New York has declared with
characteristic force against building canal
that is not wholly in American control and
so fortified as TO exclude an enemy's ves-
sells in time of war. Several leading news
papers supporting the administration have
similar views. Much of the opposition to
the Hay Pauncefote treaty which was man
ifested when the text was first made public
has disappeared in Washington, and it is
believed that 1t will be ratified by the Sen
ate with comparatively little discussion
