Representative Williams has been
highly complimented on his leadership
in the House He became Democratic
manager on the floor at the beginning
of this Congress. and he has kept the
Republicans buster in defending them
selves than they have been in many
years. Indeed, it is said to be the first
time that the Democrats have had
sane leadership on the floor of the
House since William l.. Wilson OF
West Virginia was chairman of he
Committee on Ways and Means. Will
liamS has been consistent at all times
and has pointed out the policy for
Democrats of favoring tariff revision
and reciprocity.
Judge George Gray of Delaware was
one of those who took occasion to
write Williams a good word. Others
from whom he has heard at various
times have been Senator German and
nearly every Democratic Senator, for

most of the Governors from Demo-
cratic States. There are many who
are urging him for the Vice Presidency
nomination and who agree with MEM

Thayer of Massachusetts indorsed this
action.
IT was mentioned that Secretary Ed

The friends Of Edwards answered this
by stating that this fact ought not to
influence the vote either way, as he
maintained this connection entirely
outside his official duties with the com

AT $3.50 o'clock yesterday evening a

was a loud explosion, which caused
material damage. In the ensuing panic
two persons were slightly injured.
King Alfonso passed the spot within
a few minutes after the occurrence and
was warmly cheered by the crowd,
which had become tranquil.
The originator of the outrage has
not been discovered. One man was ar

ROME. April THE Patria says:
AN enormous crowd waited for King
Alfonso outside the exhibition building
where there was no military Gordon,
and the crowd was thus enabled to
approach the royal carriages, although
surrounded by number of detectives.
When the King appeared, followed by
Premier Maura, there was a great out
burst of applause, to which he respond

stepping into his carriage a sharp ex-
plosiOn was heard, followed by cries of
pain. His Majesty turned around, with
out showing any emotion. and Pre-

The crowd abandoned the royal car

the two persons wounded by the ex-
plosion were lying. The bomb had been
thrown without well calculating the

TON, WASHINGTON, April T.
With the Democratic party apparent
ly in a position TO nominate a gold
candidate. and with nearly every
Democrat in Congress declaring for
Judge Parker, the minority i'm the
House as being brought face to face
with a proposition TO repudiate sill
Yer. A record vote is unavoidable,
and the situation brought about with
it's bearing on the coming Presiden-
tial campaign, is the most interesting
from a political standpoint now in
Congress.
The Finance Committee of the SEN
ate has reported favOrably a bill to
remove the limit on the pur-
chase OF silver bullion for subsidiary
coin and has recommended that il be
inserted in the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill This viii be done by the
Appropriation Committee, and, ac-
cording TO present plans. the Senate
viii pass it. The Senate has never
been averse to passing silver legisla-
tion, so long as the House was largely
; Republican and stood ready TO act as
a check.
The effect of the Senate amendment
would be TO leave the law of 1873
practically In operation, thus permit
ting the Secretary OF the Treasury to
purchase silver for subsidiary coinage
10 any extent he might see fit. When
this Senate amendment goes to the
House in conference report on the
sundry civil bill Representative Hem
enWay will move to accept the
amendment. provided ii is changed
SO that standard silver dollars now
stored in the treasury. TO the amount
Of sbO0,0O0,00O, can be recoined to
provide for subsidiary coin as de-
manded.
This would have the effect OF still
limiting the purchase of silver bull
lion and would again bring the Dem
ocratic minority face to face with the
silver issue.
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader has told the Republican lead
ers that he could not agree to support
the Hemenway amendment. In other
words, the Democrats of the House
propose to stand for the Senate
amendment removing the limit on the
purchase of silver bullion.
The amendment which Hemenway
will propose is similar in effect to the
proposition contained in the Hill cur

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, April 7.-"Do you
know" confided one fair young woman
to another at the charity ball for the
Home for Incurables, at the New Will
lard Hotel, last night, that there is a
man in this ballroom dressed in girls
clothes ?"
Heavens, no!'
This is the way it began to leak out
about midnight that Miss Van Eyck,"
around whom some of the most popu-
lar dancing men of Washington had
been crowding all evening, was really
young Gardiner Bell, son of Charles ].
Bell, president of the American Sc
curity and Trust Company and grand
son of Alexander Graham Bell, the en-
inent scientist.
All Washington society is talking
about it to-day Mrs. James w.
Wadsworth and other of the patron
esses are indignant over it. The char
ity ball was one of the smartest func-
tions of the season.
Gardiner Bell is IL years old and
glories in a slenderness of figure and a
delicateness of feature, which made
the rest easy when he and his sisters,
cided that Miss Van Eyck" should be
among those present at the charity
ball Their mother was absent from
home. She declared to-day that if she
had been there her son never would
have been permitted to don stunning
pink frock belonging TO one of his sis
tiers.
The gown set off the "girlishness' of
his figure admirably. A blonde wig
covered the tell-tale short cropped
hair A pair of long gloves hid from
view fingers which had become far
from comely on the baseball field. The
powder puff was literally used and
then carried TO the ball. frequently to
be employed later
At the New Willard Miss Van
Eyck," together with the Misses Bell,
consulted a mirror, and after assur-
ances that everything was perfectly
lovely" swept into the ballroom, soon
to be surrounded by claimants for
dances.
The Misses Bell kept Miss Van
Eyck'' we'll under their wing and once
reproved her for flirting. Before mid
night the identity of Miss Van Eyck"
was pretty we'll known.
"She" went to supper with one of the
best-known young men In Washington.
The two had such q long tete-a-tete
later that those not in the secret be-
gan TO gossip at great rate.
Some of the men, as we'll as the pat
ronesses of the ball. are indignant over
the imposition practiced by young Bell.

LONDON, April 7.-Of the various
commentaries on the military situation
in Korea printed here this morning the
most Illuminating is that of Spencer
Wilkinson. who writes in the Morning
Post as follows:
The japanese now appear to hold the
left bank of the Yalu from it's mouth,
but there is no means of knowing the
extent of their front. Their left flank
is at Yongampho on the Estuary, and,
as they hold Unsan, their right flank
may be at PyokdOng. sixty miles up the
stream, or even farther away from the
left
The Japanese force is apparently
composed of the Guards and the Sec
ond and Twelfth divisions. Two more
divisions. the First and the Third, are
reported to be in transports near Yong
ampho. These may be inteded to land
on either bank of the river, according
TO events and to the nature of the oper-
ations of the next few days.
THE Yalu at Wiju, where the main
road crosses it, is 120 miles in a straight
line from Liaoyang, where the road
touches the railway The road between
the two places falls into three unequal
lengths. The first leads TO the town
of Fengwangcheng. where the Russians
are believed TO have a force support
ing their advance parties on the Yalu:
the second leads through hilly defile,
turning first northward and then west
ward to penetrate the MOtienleng
range, and the third leads from this
range to LiaOyang.
THE Russian commander can hard
Iy intend to make a firm stand on the
Yalu or in front of the defile and hills,
but the Japanese commander could
wish for nothing better. He would.
probably. in that case, cross the Yalu
with his right wing as strongly as pos
sible. The advance or right wing, as
suming il to be strong enough, would
compel the Russians + retreat and
leave open the passage for the left
wing
VERY much depends on the strength
of the Japanese force on the Yalu' and
its proportion to the Russian forces
available in Southern Manchur1a, for
if the Japanese general has superior
numbers he may aim at the railway
north of Mukden.
THE distance from Broughton Bay
to the middle Yalu is not greater than
that from Pingyang to WiJu and 1T Is
conceivable that the right wing of the
Japanese force may be stronger than
could be inferred from the list Of divi-
sions known to have landed in Korea.
But, once the japanese outposts are
on the line of the Yalu, the troops will
be moved in a few days from the west
coast near Anju to the Yalu above
Wiju.
IAN attack on the Russian left, or a
movement to turn it, would probably
compel the Russians to abandon the
coast defenses below Antung and clear
the way for japanese landing there
or at Antung, which would then be-
come the japanese base Of supplies.
Some days must probably be allowed
for the movement of the Japanese
troops to concentrate behind the screen
formed by the Yalu and to reconnoiter
the strength and positions Of the
enemy in their front.
"The presence of the feet Of trans
ports near the mouth Of the Yalu
shows how completely the Russian
squadron at Port Arthur is dominated
by the japanese squadron. even though
the whereabouts of the Japanese
squadron is unknown"

PARIS, April Tt was learned to-

treaty about to be signed will con-
tain a clause providing for equality of
tariff duties on goods from Morocco
and Egypt for period of thirty years
from the date of the signing of the
treaty. The clause specifies that this
equality is only between the parties to
the treaty, but the officials say that the
favored nation principle will prevail
and will give all countries similar
equality of treatment. this having the
effect Of establishing the open door in
