OLD ISSUE
CONFRONTS
CONGRESS-
Silver Question Is
Once More to
the Fore.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, April 21-In the sun
dry civil bill now in conference is the
two-Iine Senate amendment which re-
opens in Congress, in its closing hours,
the whole silver question. Should il
become a law II would again commit
the Government TO the purchase of sill
yer bullion.
This amendment was put into the
sunory civil bill on authority of the
Senate Committee on Finance and
when il goes back to the House to-
morrow or Saturday that body must
go on record.
Representative Hemenway. chairman
of the appropriations committee, will
move to amend the amendment By pro-
viding for the recoinage Of standard
silver dollars now stored in the vaults
of the treasury The question will
therefore cali for an alignment OF the
silver and anti-silver forces. The
amendment Hemenway will propose
is a paragraph in the Hill currency bill
which has been favorably reported in
the House, but which will not be taken
up this session.
In discussing The silver amendment
to-day, Mr.. Hill said:
II think it is a remarkable piece of
legislation that in the closing hours of
Congress and without a word CT de-
bate an amendment of two lines should
be attached TO the sundry civil bill
opening unlimited purchase of silver
for unlimited subsidiary coinage
against the written advice of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. On the ques-
ton of sound money two Presidential
elections have been fought and won
by the Republican party and for the
Republican party TO embarrass the cleo
ton Of a Republican House of Repre-
sentatives by action of this kind is to
me amazing.
The United States, with s5S,00O 900
in silver in hand, mass of metal that
would fill five hundred cars and which
1t costs 100000 to recount, now deliber-
ately proposes to forever store this
enormous mass and to add to the
amount. Every dollar so purchased is,
I'm effect. equivalent to the coinage OF
full legal tender in our own currency"

LIVERlASH
GIVES REIN
TO MALICE
Defeats Bill Because
Bell Is It's
. Author.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.


CALL. BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON. April 21.-The quarrel
between Democratic Representatives
Livernash and Bell of California, which
began early in the session, had a
somewhat astonishing manifestation
on the fooS of the House to-day, and
had the effect of defeating, at the
hands of Livernash, with no other pur-
pose than to spite Bell, bit of Iegisla-
ton of great Importance to California.
Bell is the author of bill to throw
open to settlement under the homestead
law tract of land covering $1,000 acres
in Mendocino County, which fourteen
years ago was cut out of the Round
Valley Indian Reservation. The bill
provides for securing to the settlers
row occupying the land their prior
rights and was acceptable to them, as
also to the Indians.
Intact, there was no objection to the
bill on part Of any one interested. The
Committee on public lands had report
ed 1t unanimously and Speaker Can
non yesterday, after carefully examin-
ing 1t, agreed to recognize Bell to-day
for the purpose of asking unanimous
consent to take it up out of order,
which is the only way by which it
could be reached this session
The programme was carried out to-
day and Bell arose in his place and
asked for unanimous consent of the
House for immediate consideration To
his surprise. Livernash sprang to his
feet and objected-the solitary voice in
the House against the bill. This left
Bell no recourse but to take his seat
and allow his opportunity to pass. Had
the bill been allowed to come to vote
it certainly would have passed the
House and with almost equal certainty
would have got through the Senate
this session.
The act of Livernash is the subject
of some very harsh criticism by many
who know that it was not provoked by
any legitimate objection to the bill,
but solely to work petty vengeance
upon its author.

Alexieff's Report Makes Plain the
Cause of Battleship Disaster

Alexieff's Report Makes Plain the
Cause of Battleship Disaster
ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.--All
doubt as to the cause of the destruc-
ton of the battleship Petropavlovsk
and the damage to the battleship Po-
bieda at Port Arthur is dissipated by
the report submitted by telegraph to
Alexieff stated in a way that leaves
the matter no longer an open question
tnat mines were responsible for the
disaster The admission of the pres
ence of Japanese ships off Port Arthur
on the night preceding the going out OF
the Russian ships, which were watched
by Admiral Makaroff, tends to estab-
lish Vice Admiral Togo's claims that
his ships laid the mines on which the
Russian battleships struck.
The viceroys report was sent only
after the thorough investigation order
ed by the Emperor had been made. It
was published this morning through
the war commission. 1t explicitly
states that under the starboard side
of the Petropavlovslx there was an ex-
plosion,' and specifically states that a
mine exploded under the Pobieda.
That the Russian ships did not strike
their own mines is shown by the fail
ure Of the viceroy to mention anything
of the kind and by the positive state
ment of the Port Admiralty that Ad-
miral Makaroff was familiar with the
location Of the torpedoes defending the
port. The Russian officials also fail to

this means it can prevent the resump-
ton of operations by the Japanese
commercial fleet and strike a hard
blow against Japan's. hope of main
tanning her resources for the prosecu-

II is authoritatively stated that Rus
STA has been offered, through well

clined the offer.
In order to harmonic the army and

Kuropatkin The admiral and the gen.
eral are warm personal friends and
both are completely independent of the

between Skrydloff and Alexieff, pres

All information in possession of the
general staff indicates that the Japan

A Kindly Expression.

The following from the Morning Courier, of this place, whose dem ocracy is unque=tioued, shows unmis- takably t,e change that has taken place in the minds of the people to- ward Senator Marcus Hanna, and is a kindly acknowledgment of the real worth of the great statesman who has just laid down the burdens of most active life
 ''Iu the death of Senator Mark Hanna the republican party has lost the best political organizer it ever had in it's ranks. The nation has lost one of its most useful citizens. for aside from his greatness as "a poli- ticiau. be was a captain of industry, employing thousands of men, and if any of those men ever complained of Mark Hauua's treatment of them, no one ever heard of it. Without doubt, he was a man of generous impulses and kind disposition, combined with great force of character and personal energy. He was naturally leader of men and being always a central figure drew the attacks of those who opposed his political views. and, at times, those attacks were bitter. But, the more Mark Hanna commenced to be under stood personally, the less bitter these attacks became, and for long time before the unfortunate sickness which carried away this valuable citizen, he came to be regarded as a great big hearted progressive and full bloOded American man whose faults made his many noble traits shine with more lustre

AS TO ADVERTISING

We sometimes receive inquiries as to the standing of persons who advertise themselves in newspapers and maga- zines as Christian Science practition- CTS. We answer these inquiries by say ing that Christian Scientists do not advertise, and it is safe to assume that the persons who thus bring themselves to the attention of the public are not in any manner identified with our de nomination nor with its healing work The following reference to sthe meth ods employed by unauthorized persons who pose as Christian Scientists, is copied from a previous issue.
 "It is unnecessary for us to say that methods of advertising akin to those of quack doctors and vendors of patent nostrums are not countenanced by Christian Scientists. On the contrary, they are repTehended.
 , Christian Scientists have done all they properly can do in the way of ad- vertising when they unobstrusively make known the fact that they hold themselves in readiness to respond to calls for healing sickness or otherwise aiding those who desire such services as come within their province or line of duty"
 The above is ss true today as when it was written, and correctly sets forth the attitude of Christian Scientists as being one of willingness and readiness to help those who desire .tbeir minis trations, rather than that of solicit ing the attention and patronage of persons who may be attracted by a skiIlfully Worded advertisement.
 Christian Science healing is not a thing of barter and sale; it is a hcly ministry into which greed, selfish ness, and self seeking cannot enter The commercialism that bids for pat ronage and dollars is inconsistent with the true sense of Christ healing and must ultimately prove to be a de fusion to both practitioner and pa- tient. Christian Scientists know that those who would avail themselves of the healing power of this Science, must turn to it naturally and without un- due influence.
 It may be urged that unless Christ ian Scientists advertise, the public will not know how nor where to find a practitioner, but this will not suffice as an excuse for adopting methods not in keeping with the proper reserve and dignity which befits the high call ing of our ministry. Those who are ready for Christian Science will ex- perience DO difficulty in finding help and healing. There are but few com munities Tn which some beneficiary of Christian Science cannot be found :; the churches of the denomination are many, the free reading rooms main tained by the clutches are easily acces- sible, and a comprehensive directory of practitioners is published in the off, ciaI organs of the denomunation. - Christian Science Sentinel of Boston, Mass.
