PACIFIC ROAD INQUIRY.
Tim s'cnnt lint met a ('tuitilttr to

Wahiii.mho.n, l'Vli. :. I'aeille rail
roads came In for an unexpected dis
cussion in the Semite to-day. Mr.
Allen of Nebraska sought to secure
the adoption of a resolution calling on
the Secretary of thu Interior for lull
information as- to thu status of thu
Union I'aeille, Kansas I'aeille and
Sioux City ami 1'aclllu roads.
Mr. Hriee of Ohio suggested that the
Senate committee on I'aeille .-all roads
could belter conduct an inquiry and
that thu cotnuiitU'o be directed to
inuko thu investigation with power to
send for persons and papers.
Mr. Allen accepted the suggestion.
Mr. Wolcott, a member of tlio eoin
mlttee, gavo ussuriiucc that the In
quiry would bu to thu fullest cMent
possible.
This brought criticisms from Mr.
Allen. Thus far, he said, stockhold
ers, bondholders and their agents and
uttorncis bad appealed before the
committee, but the patrons of tlio
rood had not been examined. Ilu had
failed to notice that boauls of trade
and commercial bodies from cities
aloup- the I'aeille roads had been
heard. He suggested that the l'auille
Koad committee could piolltubly turn
from the stockbrokers, stockholdcis,
nttorneys and lobbylstsand give atten
tion to the honest patrons of the road.
Mr. Wolcott pointed out that every
one who came before the committee
was heard, including delegations from
western cities. There were no means
of advertising for patrons of thu road
und bringing them here
Mr. Morgan of Alabama, secured the
adoption of on amendment empower
ing the cominltteo to administer oaths
to witnesses. 'J'lio Senator said tho
persons who came before tlio commit
tee did so voluntarily to serve their
personal Interests. While there he
wanted them put under oath so as to
make them losponslblu for their state
ments. Thu discussion brought out tho fact
that thu hearings thus far had not
been under oath.
The resolution was adopted, direct
ing thu committee to make inquiries
and empowering thu administering of
oaths to witnesses.

THE BIG PRIZE FIGHT.

Secret.
Hi. Paso, Tc.as, Feb. 1 1. Tho next
twenty four hours will tuld tn history
ono of tho most adroit bits of maneuv
ering in ring annals, or the big light
between Fit.slmmons and Mulicr can
not take place. This morning that
marvel of pertinacity and persistency,
Dun Stuart, said:
"Sometlmu between sunrise and
dusk to-morrow the big tight will tako
place. I have never yet swerved ono
Inch from the position I assumed lit
the outset. I mid that I would glvo
tho pair 810,000 for a light on Fobrit
aryll. That holds us lirm and good
to-day ns It did on December 5, when
I made the offer, only that the propo
sition Is more binding since 1 have de
posited the full purse in the hands of
the stakeholders, and this goes to tho
principals, whetherthey light or not."
Stiiarl will take his party to tho
projected ring side in special trains.
There is a sort of belt line a round tho
city used In common by all of tho
roads, so that lie may go out fiom any
one of the five depots and yet switch
oil on a foreign road, Rumors of bat
tling grounds are associated with each
of the lines, and 'here luuo been
enough places picked out by the. visit
ing correspondents to hold a doen
tights. Owing to the spar.e attend
ance of sports, duo in the main to tho
disquieting dispatches that nave been
sent from Washington, the City of
Mexico and Austin, the two scote of
newspaper men present have to waive
the courtesies of press tickets, and
will walk up to tne captain's olllco
and settle for the pasteboards justliku
the sports. They are selling at tho
late of 8-0 apiece.
Many of the sports here are becom
ing so anxious about their chances of
seeing the big tight that the, last
night declared their intention of
watching tlio depots all of to-night to
avoid being left. Huskies the sports,
(ieneial Mnbry s rangeis urn carefully
watching every train that pulls out,
with the intention of hoarding it if
Mum, see any Intention of pulling oil'
tho'ilirhtjn Texas.
It Is practically certain now that
the tight will be on Mexican soil some
where. It will be a dash ucros tin
border and a run for home after the
light is over. If the Mexican troops
can manage, to reach the hatth'grouud
the ehanees arc that It will be more
than a run. It will be a wild and
tumultuous Hichl, with the chances
against those who aro iinablu to swim
thu Itio i ramie. There are places
whereat! agile man may be aide to
jump across it. and although nobody
lias ever done it. a terrified sport can
do great things when he tries.
ilovernor Ahumada of Chihuahua Is
still bringing troops Into Juarez, and
by to-ulght will he in strength to
begin war if necessary. He now has
.'100 men, '.'00 being ruruls, and by to-to-night
he will hao 20H more. He de
clared yesterday that under uoclrcum
stnuccs would he allow the tight to
lake place In Mexico.

Standard Oil company is unloading
nil drilling and pumping machinery at

of opening up wells which were drilled
ti year ago and plugged suddenly. At
the limn the company gave no reason
for abandoning tlie wells mid the land
owners on whose farms they hud been
drilled had no l.uowledgeof the cessa
tion of operations until the machinery
had been removed and the wells
plugged. This gave rise to a suspicion
that oil had been found and the com
pany was suppressing the fact. The
importation of machinery now sub
stantiates that theory. Ilronson is
much excited Its paper has issued u

Oil Company has oil leases on a large

Wasiiixoion, Feb. if, After a ten
days' debate the House by it ote of
HO to IPO in committee of the whole
rejected the Senato free coinage
amendment to tlio bond bill ami re
ported the bill to I ho House with a
recommendation to non-concur and
Insist on. the House bill. The strength
developed by the silver men was dis
appointing. They had been confidently
clalmiiig over 100 votes. After two
hours' tlebate to-day the final vote
will be taken, Mr. Dlngley will close
for tho majority and Crisp for tho
ininoi-itv.
Wasiunoion. Feb. 1." The public
and private galleries of the house
were thronged to-day in anticipation
of Hi" closing of the tlebate on the
Senate fiee .. jlnage and substitute for
the bond bill. The attendance on tho
lloor was also very large.
At ,"i p. m. the House rejected the
Senato free sliver substitute for the
House bond bill by a vott of Via najs
against Hi) yeas
Mr. Crisp, of Oeorgla. representing
free silver, said this was an economic
question and no matter what views
the members might hae entertained
lu tho past, he assumed ti. at In cast
ing h s vote to-day each member
would do so conscientious. y ntfd in
accord with the dictases of his eon
vlctious. Mr. Crisp opened his argu
ment proper with the familiar words:
"In LSI! Congress demonetised silver "
At the very threshold oT the subject,
he said, this was denied and it was
also denied tiial un to !hT.'l wo had had
bimetallism iu this country. He
quoted Huron Kothsehihls statement
that prices woro regulated by the
aggregate amount of tin- gold and
silver circulation, 1'ilces weie fixed
by the amount of primary money
lu the world. If the 'standard
in Knglnud was gold, iu France
silver and in China sitier, tho
measuic of values would be the
combined amount of both gold and
silver circulating as money. Money
was tlio thing for which all contended
and the sum of the demand for money
was equal to the demand for all things
else on earth. If u metal was made
money by law a ilenrind lor tliat metal
would be created among all the peo
ple and its value would necessarily in
crease with the luct eased demand.
Here ho read from statements made
by SenatorSliermaii in lS7o that the
demonetization of silver had caused a
reduction of its price and had created
a mad scramble for gold on the part of
Kngland, France and Ccrmauy, which
hud appreciated its price and had In
duced u fall in prices throughout thu
world. That fall of prices, Mr. Crisp
asserted, wus largely due to the de
monetization of silver. It wns not the
fall of prices that was complained of,
but the constant and steady fall of
prices, due to tho constant apprecia
tion of gold. He rend ftom Mr. Hal
four's speech of the 11th lust., iu the
English Parliament, attributing the
decline of agriculture iu gold countries
to the appreciation of gold and the
artificial advantages it gave to silver
countries,
Mr. Ilalfour had declared also that
the obstacles to reform came not from
abroad but were put forward at home.
Continuing, Mr. Crisp atllrmed the ex
istence of a well defined purpose by
those in authority, both hern and
abroad, to depress tho price of silver
to prevent its lemonetizatlon. He
cited the manner lu which the llland
Allison net of 1 78 was executed, the
coinage of the minimum amount under
the act und thu refusal of the treasury,
after a few months, to coin silver
under the net of iS'.iii, He cited Sec
retary Carlisle's refusal to give silver
for gold in IS'.'!!, because the silver was
needed for tho redemption of thu
treasury notes, and his course some
months nfterward in redeeming those
notes in gold.
"What kind of juggling is that?"
Mr. Crisp asked, "What sort of friend
ly treatment of silver is that?" (Ap
plause.) Coming down' to the question
whether the United dtutes indepen
dently could maintain witli free coin
ago tiio parity between gold and sil
ver, ho said that there was no dlll'er
ence of opinion that it could bo accom
plished by an international agree
ment. As an historic fact Franco had
maintained tho parity for seventy
years. If four or live countries could
maintain u parity It wus conceded
that law could direct the result. How
powerful must a Statu be, then, to
a fleet that result'.'
In conclusion Mr. Crisp declared
that if tlio United States would assert
its political and tlnauelal Indepen
dence, prosperity would return and
continue the perpetual heritage of
our people.
Mr. Crisp spoke an hour and a half,
and was liberally applauded when ho
sat down.

In the lloti.f.
WRtii.x-f)iox, Feb. If. There wns
r clash in the House yesterday
afternoon on the silver debato
between DoAnnontl and Hall of Mis
souri. The gentlemen hud paid their
respects to each other before during
the tlebate, but each in the absence of
the other. Yesterday Mr. Hull opened
by refenlr.g to the fact that Mr. Do
Arnoond had mentioned tho names of
lleuedlet Arnold and Judas Iscarlot
"without tho apparent courage to
make a personal application." I'io-ceedlii.-.
he Indignantly denied that
he had been a "Washington convert"
to the cause of sound money and ad
verted to a standing challenge he had
posted In Missouri last summer to dis
cuss the issue mi tho stump. He also
denied that he intended to charge his
free sliver friends in the House with
personal corruption,
"Why should the gentleman feel
that he has been hit?" he iisked, turn
ing to Mr. lie Armond. "I do not
know, unless the solution is found in
the old adage that the bird which
has been hit flutters."
Mr Hall, continuing, replied to tlio
charge that he had been posing as the
author of tne Income tax. lly this
time the House was Intensely inter
ested and the members crowded about
the combatants.
Mr. Du Armond had lire in his eye
when ho a rose to reply. He did not feel,
he said, that anytlug the gentleman
had said had struck him. but he felt,
as ono of the Iteprcsentntives from
Missouri, that when the newest con
vert from thu. State to the. so called
sound-money doctrine saw proper lu
making his platform to class the
Ihinoio, people from the I'asl Indies
ami the depths of Africa and the lower
animals in the category of tlmiu wlui
did not change their opinions, that
pel hups It might not be inappropriate
to surest, that there might bo
changes of opinion that would evi
dence no tremendous exaltation above
those referred to. (I.aughteri.
As to the income tax business, ho
.aid, the gentleman had allowed lilui-
i If to be paraded as the author of tho
bill when he knew ho was not. "Ilu
said he had been informed and be
lieved that eight senators who had
voted for free coinage." continued Mr.
Do Armond. "had said thej believed
it would bring bankruptcy' and ruin
to the country. He did not identify
them: he did not name one; ho never
will do it. If eight senators, or one
senator, insula unv biich remark, lie
merely did what tlio gentleman him
self does not and daru not deny that
he litis done.
"Any man has a right to change his
opinion, hut my impression was, and
it liati been greatly strengthened, that
when a man changes his opinion ami
departs from his old associates, ho
ought hardly to prate at the llrst op
portunity about tho 'courage' which
led him to do it, or talk about the
'cowardice' (without identification or
spccilicntiotn that resides in those who
do not do likewise, or tall: about the
Chinese and the lower animals ns
being typical of those who do not
cnange when ho does. (Laughter). As
to the gentleman's reference to people
'fentherinir their nests,' I do not know
just what he meant, but I venture to
say that if the feathers aro to be had
for the asking, or tho plucking, tho
gentleman, if ho is around, will cot
his full share." (Laughter mil ap
plause.) Mr. Hall sprang to hk feet when
Mr. DeArinoiid sat down. "I do not
wish- to emulate the gentleman in
billingsgate." said he hotly: "I do not
expect to equal him in it. Hut 1 wisli

I), llaldwin, the meteorologist of the
l'cary expedition of liqi'l-lil, wasusked
this mottling what ho thought of tho
reported discovery of tho North pole
by Dr. Nansen. "I think It highly
probable. It is the result of well
calculated plans anil not unexpected.
Dr. Nansen has accomplished, it would
appear, what ho has striven for dur
ing live eais. The oyage of the
Teaiinctte under Do Long, until tho
crtur'ilng of the vcel iu latitude 77
degrees 14 minutes and longitude 55"
east, indicated that the near approach
to tho North polo was certainly to be
made by a well equipped and properly
constructed vessel from that dliection
by the New Siberian islands. The
Jcannettohad drifted through twolong
Arctic nights In that region, and this
would indicate that if it is possible for
a xcssel under ordinary conditions to
otiduro so long It Is to bo expected
that one of special construction, as
wns Dr. Nansen'.s would succeed in
getting much farther.
"Dr. Nansen's absence since June )
24, lh'J.1, has given him time to make a
close iipnroaeh to the North polo, and
I think It highly probable that with
favxrable conditions he has succeeded
in nrrlving at the long coveted point.
Since eominuiiie.uion w ith the New
Slbcriau islands at the mouth of the
Lena and Di lta is continuously had
by means of trailers und hunter.sof
that region, It is not improbable that
Dr. Nansen has had means of sending
dispatches to the Itussian s,.ttlt.nients
in Central Siberia and thence home.
The appropriation made by the Nor
wegian government ami the private
subserlptions'-o abiindentlv equipped
Dr. Nansen that he hud been un
hampered so far as his ship Is con
cerned, and the conditions have been
wry favorable. It wasexpeeted, how
ever, that the. tlrst news from him
would chronicle his arrival off thu
north coast of (ireenlaud, as It wnn
his theory that his vessel would drift
with the ice north of the Siberian
islands nearly if not directly over the
north pole ami thence southward to
the coast of Oreeuland. It seems,
however, that instead of drifting
south after once having arrived at thu
north pole, he has returned tenth
ward by way of thu outward voyage,
as did DeLong after the crushing of
the Jeanuette. "

Morrill said this morning, in reply to
a direct question, that he would be a
candidate for renomluatlon. "I do
not like to be iu the altitude of a can
didate for reiiomimitlon: I would pre
fer to let my administration speak for
me, but. as there has been talk that I
am unwilling to serve another term, J
presume that it is my duty to say .some
thing, since the question has been put
to mo so directly. 1 will say that I
would like a renomluatlon simply as
an indorsement of my party; and hav
ing been renominated, it goes without
saying that I would want u re-election.
I am in the hands of my
party, not of my friends. If my
administration of tho executive of
the State meets with the approval of
tlio Republicans of Kausr.i-, I would
like a reuominatioii. Hut 1 shall not
seek a renomluatlon. 1 am content to
stand on tho record we have made In
the administration of thu a flairs of
the State. Wo claim that we have
exercised economy and reasonable
business sense iu every department
and detail of the Slate's affairs, and I
think this claim Is borne out by the
records und accounts In the ofllcesof
the auditor of State und of tho treas
urer of State. On that record, speak
lnp for myself, island. I do not say
this In a spirit of Uourish or brag, but
blticu there are men who llnd fault

thing practical to think about."
