CURRENCY BILL PROGRESS
DEMOCRATIC UNREADINESS TO ATTACK
1T REMARKED.
[BY TELeGRAPH TO THE TR1BUNE.I

Washington Jan. 14.-Much comment has been
attracted by the apparent unreadiness Of the
Democratic opposition in the Senate to attack
the Currency bill before that body A
measure which expressly constitutes the gold
dollar the standard of value should, 1t seems
excite the violent antagonism of those Demo-
Gratis in Congress who look forward to making
another Presidential campaign the issue Of
free silver coinage
If Colonel Bryan is to be renominated this
year and the Chicago platform of 1896 is to be
readOpted. no better chance for defining the po-
sition and aims of the party on the questions of
finance and currency could possibly be presented
to Democratic leaders than debate on a measure
which expressly deprives silver of its chief func
tions primary money.
But though the Currency bill has been before
the Senate for the better part Of two weeks no
Democrat has yet shown the slightest desire
to assail its provisions, and Mr. Aldrich, the
chairman of the Finance Committee. has twice
appealed in vain to the minority side to con-
tinue an absolutely tagging discussion or to fix
a time for it's termination.
According to Senator Jones' of Arkansas, the
spokesman of the opposition, number of Demo
cratic Senators intend to discuss the Currency
bill, but none of them seem to be putting any
fire or dash into their purpose to champion the
imperilled cause of bimetallism This lethargy
reflects, perhaps, the rather despairing feeling
In the Democratic ranks that repetition of
the campaign of 1896 can only prove another
wholesale catastrophe to party interests, yet
In view of the fact that the Democratic leaders
have no other available issue in sight their
perfunctory fight against the pending Currency
bill is one of the anomalies of current politics.
AS a matter of fact, the brunt of any Oppo-
sltlon which may be made in the Senate will
fall not so much the Democrats themselves
as on the so-called Free Silver Republicans.
Mr.. Teller remains the head and spirit of the
Iree coinage forces in that body, and he and
Messrs Stewart and Jones' of Nevada; Allen,
OF Nebraska. and Pettigrew. of South Dakota
all 1rregulars in the opposition camp, will have
to assume most Of the burdens of any parlia-
mentary fight against gold standard legislation.
Senators Daniel and Morgan, of the regular
Democrats, may be depended for able and
interesting speeches on the money question, but
Senator Vest, hitherto Of the most effective
champions of the silver cause in Congress- will
be kept out Of the debate by his physical
fraities.
The Republicans generally will make no set
speeches in support of the bill. with a view to
fastening a vote it. But so discouraging
has been the progress made so far and so fire.
quent are the Interruptions at this stage Of the
session which cannot be foreseen or avoided
that a vote is not likely to be taken before the
middle of February. After the bill goes to
conference it may be added, the real struggle
to determine it's scope and character will just
begin.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MR. HO4R.
CABLED TO HONG KONG CAUSED
FILIPINO INSURRECTION

Chicago, Jan 14.-John Barrett, ex-United
States Minister to Siam for the first time pub
licy named Senator Hoar last night at Lake
Forest University as the United States Senator
whose anti-expansion speech was cabled to
Hong Kong and subsequently put in the hands
Of the Filipino soldiers causing, as Mr.. Barrett
believed, the open insurrection. Frequently this
speech and its presumed effect have been men
toned, and the reading public has connected
the name of Senator Hoar with it, and it is
probable that Mr. Barrett would not have
used the lawmakers name on this occasion had
he not been facing an audience known to be
largely hostile to the Administrations policy in
the Oriental islands. 1t appeared further from
the eX-MiniSter'S speech that the Government
has discovered privately the stages by which
the anti-expansion address reached Luzon.
In the course of his address, which was on
the general subject of the Philippines. the speak
er said it had been discovered in the Govern
ment investigation that Senator HOar's speech
was cabled in cipher and In fragments to Paris,
where 1t was put together and forwarded to
Hong Kong. The message included several
thousand words. and the cost for transmission
was said to have been $4,000. 1t interested the
Government to know what friends the Filipinos
had at that time who were in a position to send
the message.
Il was in Hong Kong at the time" said Mr.
Barrett, "and remember the incident distinctly.
l was coming downstairs in the hotel, when
met the president OF the Hong Kong Junta, and
he had in his hand the long dispatch he had just
received. 1t gave a large part of Senator Hoar s
speech III Iull anu q SUMMARY Ol lIic rest OI IT,
l asked the president what he was going to do
with it. and he told that he meant to send it
to the officers of the army in the Philippines. He
was urged not to do it, but he protested that it
had been printed in the United States and was
public property. Four days after that speech
had been delivered it was in the hands of those
who saw an opportunity to make political capi-
tai Of it. The speech was published and distrib-
uted among the soldiers and l believe it was
the eliminating influence that brought about the
open insurrectiOn. This speech, you must re-
member, was delivered before there was an open
3uSurraction."

HLANGWANE.
London, Jan 15.-4:30 a. m.-Lord Roberts
enigmatical announcement No change in the
situation" does nothing to allay public anxiety
or TO explain the mystery surrounding General
Buffers movements on the Tugela, and, although
there is a disposition to regard the dispatch as
disposing of Saturdays adverse rumors, the
week has opened in a state Of suspense almost
equal to that of last week. because it is recog-
nzed that failure in General Buffers present
attempt would seal the fate of Ladysmith
Presumably mo change in the situation"
refers to previous dispatches sent to the War
Office which have not yet been revealed to the
public. Except the announcement Of the seiz-
ure of Potgieter's Drift and of the advance of
General Warren, there has been news from
the Tugela for a week. A ray of hope is in the
fact that the same silence prevails from the
Boer side. Thus it may, perhaps, be fairly in
ferred that General Butler has not yet met
serious check.
If the announcement of General Warrens
movement be correct, it is evident that General
Buffers forces are spread over wide front
perhaps twenty-five miles-and in the event of
a sudden fall of the river his operations might
be full of danger. 1t is believed that General
Butler has no good survey maps Of the district.
This will add to his difficulties.
Sir Charles Warrens advance probably means
an attempt TO seize Hlangwane HILL the main
post of the Beers south Of the Tugela- Upon
the success or failure of these operations de-
pends the whole future of the campaign. Until
the result is known Lord Roberts will be unable
to decide how to dispose the two divisions and
the renforcements now arriving
The news from other points is OF no great i'm
portance. Boer accounts tell Of another sortie
from Kimberley on January in the direction
of Kamfer's Dam, with a brisk exchange OF
firing but no result A heavy detonation was
heard on January within Kimberley.

FIRE SCARE FOR SINGERS.
ALMOST A PANIC AT A REHEARSAL IN
COOPER UNION.

Fire threw the Peoples Choral Union off
the key and into a small panic at Cooper
Union Yesterday afternoon about six o'clock
The thousand singers under Frank Dam
rosch were rehearsing the oratorto OF the
Messiah" preparatory to its production
at the Academy of Music. Brooklyn, on
the evening of January %. The tenOrs were
having a little special drill on the chorus. "All
we like sheep have gone astray," and had just
completed the phrase We have turned every
one to his own way" when several Of the SO
pranos were seen to spring from their seats
and make their way hurriedly to the door. An
alto looking up at the first row of posts from
the stage gave a cry of alarm and pointed 20
a ring of fire that was encircling the top Of the
pillar.
The wax in the gas pipe had caught fire and
was flaming ominously. Instantly all was con-
fusion. Cries came from all parts of the house,
both of terror and paci1catiOn. The fiery pillar
was just above the singers, and drops
of the burning wax threatened every moment TO
fall among them. Their inhammable wraps
we're heaped about them, and might easily have
caught fire. The occupants of the front half of
the house at once arose in a body if to rush
for the door Mr. Damrosch stood smiling near
the piano with his baton. making signals at
his frightened flock but his voice was lost in
the tumuIt.
The flame was faring more fercely than ever,
and mad rush for the door seemed matter
OF only second or two. when John McDonough
sprang down to the front and climbed upon the
railing.
Keep your seatsr' he shouted. There is no
danger!'
Yes, there isp' screamed back half of the
second sopranos pointing at the flame.
Mr. McDonoughs efforts were made effective
by Miss Mary MCGOWAN. one Of the deepest
altos who cried OUT Don't be silly. girls There
is no danger! See. the men are laughing!
Somebody meanwhile had slipped around and
turned down the gas. and the weakened flame
quickly died out.
AS the timid came back from the door
and resumed their seats, Mr.. Damrosch made
a little speech.
I'm afraid I'll have to give you a fire drill

rehearsal went to the end.

dispatch to The Daily Mail" dated Janu-

Sir Charles Warren marched with II 900 men
eastward from Frere, by way of Weenen. His
scouts found no sign of the enemy at GrobIers
Kloof, while Colenso was ascertained to be de-
serted.
There are rumors that the Beers are preparing
to leave Natal. discouraged by their failure to
reduce Ladysmith All the Colonials and irreg-
ulars have been placed under General Warren's
command.
Among the Free Staters killed in the attack
Ladysmith on January was Commandant
De Villiers, who but for his we'll known friendli-
ness to England would have been commander
in chief of the Free State forces.
The Standard" publishes the following from
Ladysmith, Thursday, January II. by hello
graph, by way of Weenen:
The Beers are fortifying positions north and
west of Ladysmith doubtless with view of
securing safe line of retreat should their oppo-
sition TO General Buffers advance fail They
still surround Ladysmith in large numbers, and
may be contemplating another attack.
1t is known however. that they are greatly
depressed by their heavy losses. Prior to Satur
day they were perfectly confident of their abil-
ity to defeat the garrison and to take possession
