Scnnte's PhiIiNplnc Debate.


scnnte's Philippine Debate.
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The house
yesterday passed the bill to increase
the subsidiary silver coinage. The Dem
ocrats directed their fight chiefly
against the provision to recon the
standard silver dollars into subsidiary
coin as public necessities might re-
Guire. A half dozen roll calls were
forced. Some of the New York Demo-
Gratis voted for the previous question,
but voted with their colleagues on
motion to recummit, with instructions
to strike out the provision relative to
the recoinage Of silver dollars. The
conference reports on the omnibus,
public buildings and Notifications ap-
preparation bills were adopted. and the
house adjourned until Monday.
The text of the subsidiary coinage
bill is as follows:
THAT the secretary Of the treasury is
hereby authorized to coin the silver
bullion in the treasury purchased I'M
der the act of July II, 1890 into such
denominations Of subsidiary silver coin
as he Day deem necessary to meet pub
lie requirements and thereafter as pub
lie necessities may demand to recon
silver dollars into subsidiary coin. and
so much of any act as fixes Il limit to
the aggregate OF subsidiary silver coin
outstanding and so much of any act as
directs the coinage of any portion of
the bullion purchased under the act of
July II, 1870, into standard silver dol
lars is hereby repealed"

ccptin% only the right to bear arms and

There was an interesting meeting
at the Young Mems Christian Asso.
citation last night which was held for
the purpose to discuss what is needed
to make the association greatersuc-
cess.
Alfred Gawthrop presided, and said
the meeting was the outcome Of de-
sire on the part OF the directors to
secure the advice and cooperation OF
the citizens Of Wilmington. He then
introduced the Rev. Charles Wood OF
Philadelphia.
DR.. Wood in his talk referred to
the forces which draw the young men
from the rural districts to the larger
towns and cities.
lie also referred to the fact that
here they found conditions changed,
and gradually drfted away from ru-
raj customs, among which was church
going.
1t was at this juncture, he said.
that the y. NJ. G. A. was needed, for
the young man who comes to the city
practically stranger will go some
where, and it is essential that he
should 60 to the Y. NJ. CA.
lie said that the average young
man is Inclined to regard the church
as vestiDuled Heaven and about the
only way to get him interested in re-
ligious work is through the Y. M. c.

In response to request from
Mr.. Gawlhrop 10 make few re-
marks. the Rev. II. Ashton Henry
said he did not take it that past
work had been unsuccessful. There
was ore thing, however. which
was interfering with greater sue
cess, and that was that the associa.
ton had lay church. "There is
too much religious attraction.
SAID Mr.. Henry. "This may be
a strange thing for a minister TO
say, but believe it is true never
theless, and say it with all earnest.
ness

building and thought the associa.
ton should possess club feature.
lie favored the installation OF pool
or billiard tables, aud believed

marks, he was greeted with liberal

One man, whose name could not
be learned, was burned about the

Mrs. Joseph Hodel, wife of the
brewmaster of the Monumental

and she was struck in the nose vio-
lently enough to make the blood
flow freely. Her dress was scorched
and she thinks she is injured inter-
nally.
The accident occurred little after
Z o'clock in the evening.
The suddenness of the blaze cre-
ated a panic. Both men and women
screamed and those in the rear
seats made frantic efforts to get out
of reach of the flame. In the rush
Mrs. Hodel was hurt. The mon in
