ABANDON THE SILVER
PURCHASE AMENDMENT
Republicans of the Senate Will Not
Precipitate a Debate This Late
in the Session.

WASHINGTON, April 25. - Rather
than precipitate a debate on the silver
question in the last hours Of the ses-
sion, the Republican leaders of the
Senate have agreed to drop the silver
purchase amendment TO the sundry
civil bill. Representative Hill, backed
by House leaders, has thus won a
notable victory over the Senate Finance
Committee, which was responsible for
the insertion Of this amendment.
The effect of the withdrawal will be
TO leave the law as it is in regard TO
the purchase of silver bullion for sub
sidiary coinage, much to the disap-
pointment Of the Secretary of the
Treasury. His original desire was that
permission should be given to recoin
the standard silver dollars now stored
in the treasury building. Being unable
to get this, he would have preferred
the Senate amendment to no legisla-
tion at all.
One effect of the failure to legislate,
treasury officials say, will be a scarcity
of subsidiary silver coins before the
present year ends, which will be notice
able especially during the holiday
period in December.

he had almost invariably made square,
while those in the anonymous COM
munication to the Secretary had evenly
rounded curves.
I'VE offer this exemplar of Mr.. Di-
mond's writing in evidence said
knight, when Dimond had finished his
copy.
The lawyer then asked a number of
questions regarding Dimond's knowl-
edge or lack of knowledge regarding
many of the facts set forth in the
anonymous letters The witness de-
clared that he had been ignorant of
many things alleged in the letters and
that his only means of discovering them
would have been by prying into Hyde's
affairs, a course he would have dis
dained to adopt. He again declared
that his first knowledge of the anony
nous letters sent to Secretary Hitch
cock and Detective Burns came to him
during the cross-examination, when
Heney showed the documents to him
and asked whether he had written
them.
The rest of the day was spent by the
witness in detailing exactly what steps
he had taken while at Washington to
further each of the Hyde-Benson lieu
land selections set forth in the indict-
ment. The hearing will continue this
morning at 1880.
THE time spent by Dimond in pen
ming the words of knights dictation," ;"
said Heney last evening, would itself
create suspicion that the work was not
natural, but that the writer was en-
deavoring to disguise his hand. There
is so much similarity between the orig
inal communication and Dimonds sam
pie of writing that 1 cannot understand
why his attorneys put him on the
stand. Dimond's work to-day will
convict him if nothing else would"
On the other hand Charles S. Wheeler
OF Dimond's counsel said: 1--WE shall
show that these anonymous letters are
the result of a desperate plot to trap
our client. We are not ready to give
away our case in advance, but we in
tend to expose the whole affair.""

Sherclif had been convicted of one

his parole was obtained ever the pro-
test OF the trial Judge, the County At

without precedent and caused much
criticism.

The crime Of which Shercliff was
convicted occurred in 1892. He beat
his victim into insensibility, stopped a
train, and escaped after a running fire
with posse that lasted several hours.
He was captured several days after

SAUSALITO. April 25.-After brood
ing over the death Of her youngest son
Tor 2 year Mrs. Katherine Dubrow has
probably ended her own life. She is
missing, and her husband, Frank Du-
brow, a business man Of San Francisco,
asserts he believes-his wife has COM
mitted suicide. She left a note indica-
tive Of suicidal intent, and though
search has been made all day no trace
of her whereabouts can be obtained.
Dubrow is prostrated with grief. He
says his wife arose at an unusually
Carly hour this morning. but he thought
nothing OF il at the time. sUpposing she
oas going TO take an early walk, as
She often did. When he arose later he
found a note addressed to him IN Car
man. which translated is as follows:
I have never committed a sin, espe-
cially against our son. What ] say and
do is in an insane mood. Farewell TO
an."
The Dubrows are one Of Sausalito's
most prominent families. They lost a
Son about a year ago. The mother has
been grief-stricken ever since. She re-
turned recently from Germany after
several months travel there. Her hus-
band believes she must have jumped

negative. he was told to take his seat
