Gold nnd Silver Champions.
WASHINGTON- , April 4. Some time ago
Senator Walthall introduced a bill for the
withdrawal of public lands In Mississippi
from sale at ordinary private entry , The
public lands committee , after consideration
of the matter , concluded to report the bill
covering all public lands nnd this morning
Mr. Wulthnll , by direction of the committee ;
reported the following asm substitute for Ins
bill !
That from nnd after the passage of this act
public lands of the United States now subject -
' ject to private entry shall bo disposed of
under nnd according to the provisions of the
hpmcstcad laws only ,
Mr. Cockroll gave notice that ho would op
pose the bill ,
Mr.- Palmer , by request , introduced a bill
to test the science of spelling , etc. , bolng the
snmo as the lawyers' bill In the houso.
The senate resumed the consideration of
the bond bill , the pending question being Mr.
Bock's amendment.
Mr. Teller criticised the statements of Mr.
McPhcrson as to the country being within
sixty days on a silver basis , with gold at a
premium. If the amendment should become
a law ho declared thcro was noth
ing in the financial experience of
the country or the world that would
Justify the statement that If $250,000,000 of
silver coin were put on the market , any dif
ference would be made In the relative value
of the silver dollar coin and silver bullion.
Ho denied that there was any Intrinsic value
In money whether gold , stiver or paper. It
had simply a value corresponding with its
ability to absorb things.
The question was then taken in Mr. Beck's
amendment , and It was agreed to.
Mr. Reagan offered nn amendment direct
ing the purchase and cancellation of bonds
With the $100,000,000 of gold now in .ho
treasury for the redemption of legal tender
notes.
Mr. Farwoll asked If ho pretended to say
legal tender notes were not a debt as shown
upon their face.
Mr. Reagan said that technically they
Were a debt , but practically they were
money. The easiest way to reduce
iho surplus nnd relieve taxa
tion was by the adoption of his
amendment. Later Mr. Reagan withdrew
his amendment on nn assurance from Mr ,
Beck that ho would have nn opportunity to
offer It to another bill.
Mr. Sherman moved to amend Mr. Beck's
amendment by substituting silver bullion for
silver coin over the $2,000,000 monthly , but
the presiding officer ruled it out of order.
Mr. Sherman said ho knew his amendment
was not in order , but wanted to show that
the semite was forced to act upon n matter
which had not been carefully examined by
the committee. The senator from Texas had
spoken of there being grout distress in the
country. Mr. Sherman attributed this dis
tress to the fact that the administration had
not executed the law giving it full power to
use the surplus in the purchase of bonds.
The democratic house had also refused to
pass the senate bill allowing national bank
currency to bo issued to the full amount of
bonds deposited. The effect of this policy was
thatsinco the administration came Into power ,
national bank currency had been reduced by
$170,000,000 nnd that was not all. When the
banks' commenced to reduce the only way they
could do so was by depositing United States
, notes in the treasury , and that they had done
, to the extent of Jloa.OM.OOO. That $102,000-
000 of United States notes was now tied up
ns the result of the faulty action of the house ,
so the result of that policy of the democratic
party was to make a double contraction of
the currency. The distress could easily bo
relieved by continuing the cfllcient national
banking system nnd removing the present re
striction on the issue of national bank cur
rency. Mr. Sherman spoke of the overthrow
of the national banks as something that
would bo "a feather in the cap" of the demo
cratic party , and yet the national bank cur
rency was the best that over existed. Ho
stood there to defend the national banking
system , which was inslduously soucht to bo
overthrown by the various propositions sub
mitted to the bill. There hud been an effort
to undermine it over since the democratic
party came into power. Ho would not say
that of the executive head of the administra
tion but of the representatives who came
mainly from the southern states.
After opposing the silver bullion proposi-
tlon In the pending measure Mr. Sherman
said ho never had been against silver. If
Iho policy which ho had always advocated
had been adopted nnd acted upon silver
would never have depricated in market value
ns it has dono. The maintenance of silver
on a par with gold was a wise act of public
policy , and it could bo brought up to that
Rtandiird , an approach to it could then bo
made , and then by a convention of European
nations a now ratio might possibly be estab
lished and gold and silver bo placed side by
elde os in the past. But while gold and silver
were rated differently no single power hi
the world could bring them together , and if
the United States attempted it , It would
reach finally n single silver basis , thus de
taching this country from the great commer
cial nations of the world , He had no objec-
ion whatever to the Issue of silver { crtill-
cates on bullion In the treasury at Its market
valuo. The United States should have done
ns the Latin nations did , not coin any
more silver than was necessary for
ordinary transactions. On the balance
silver bullion silver certificates could have
been Issued from the beginning , und could
bo now.
The proposition from the senator from
Texas was to dissipate the gold now held for
i the redemption of legal tender notes , and
would drive It abroad and into the banks to
bo hoarded , and then when some Black Fri
day cuino there would bo n tfap between coin
and legal tender notes , und gold nnd silver
bullion would bo nt a premium. Ho was will-
Ing' to dp all that can bo done to maintain
.silver , providing the senate stands by him In
maintaining the two metals nt n par with
'each other , until by the common consent of
the nations of the world thcro may bu a ratio
Idxod approaching the present one.
Mr. Allison said ho had voted for the Beck
amendment respecting silver and saw noth
ing in It that had n tendency in the slightest
degree , to alarm the people of the country as
respects silver coinage. The silver legisla
tion of 1878 Ijnd been , he thought , fully und
.thoroughly Justified ; it would not have been
possible to have maintained the resumption
iwlthout it. Ho wanted to say to all business
tnen who might bo alarmed lest wo coined n
joillUon or two of silver this yuar inoro than
wo ought to , that there would bo no danger
of an outflow of void. Ho would next s.iy ,
< what would happen if wo stiould so adjust
our internal affairs as respect rcvcnuo laws ,
as to change the balance of trade against us ,
because when that time comes , when \vt
become the debtor of the nation Instead el
the creditor of the nation whether or not
gold would go then , ho wus not prepared to
eay. Whllo ho was as ready as any othei
senator to Und a Just cause of alarm as re
epects the situation of our currency , ho dli
not believe too added coinage which vouli
result from Mr. Book's amendment would
amount to one-thousandth part of a cent per
nnnum ns respects the great measures el
value which now adjust all our affairs.
Mr , McPiieraon moved to suueud to the
1 I :
'rovldcd that nothing in this act shal
ii 'jorlto the secretary of the treasury to
ft u more than M ,000,000 worth per month.
Mr. Stewart moved to lay the amendment
tni the table without action , and the senate
House.
* , April 4. After tba reading
viie Journal an effort was mafia by the
" ntU of the direct tax bill to make nn ar
> ; cineiit by which a filial vote would bo in
red to-day at S o'clock , but Mr. Ureckou
soot Arkansas , objected U the prcpoii
Wr. A H , Xoslfir ol Ohio. Ihercuux
moved to limit the general debate to ono
lour.
The opponents Of the bill then- resorted to
filibustering tactics , nnd the entire day was
consumed In voting upon dilatory motions.
At 0 o'clock a vote occurred on a motion for
a recess until to-morrow at 10 o'clock ,
Mr. Brcckonrldgo made n motion that Mr.
VIcMlllan bo excused from voting upon Mr.
Taylor's motion ,
Mr. Reed of Maine , and Mr. Burrows of
Michigan , made the point of order that a
motion to excuse was not in order , Reed sug
gesting that If It were more motions could bo
submitted to excuse every member.
The speaker said whllo this might bo very
inconvenient , he thought the motion to ex
cuse was in order. Mr. Grosvcnor of Ohio ,
remarked suggestively that It might ben very
convenient motion for n minority to avail Itself
of. There were 143 members of the minority.
At six hours a day they could use up twenty
days upon every vote and ho gave notice
now , if Uod spared his life nnd this motion
were admitted , If ho could got a minority to
stand with him ho would do it on n question
which would affect somebody very materi
ally , The house was asked to put n techni
cal construction on n rule 4thnt would par
alyze the legislation of the country nnd put
Into the hands of the minority the power to.
usurp all legislative functions ,
The speaker said ho had expressed no
opinion as to what the rule ought to bo ; ho
liud simply stated what it was.
Mr. Breckcnrldgo of Arkansas withdrew
Ills motion to excuse Mr. McMillan , and Mr ,
Grosvcnor Inquired if the ruling of the chair
would be allowed to stand.
The speaker replied that ho supposed all
proceedings would stand as part of the
record of the house but the chair would give
this question a thorough examination. A
motion for a recess was set aside by a motion
to ndjourn and this In turn wns displaced by
a mot Ion to adjourn until Friday. On this
no quorum voted nnd n call of the house was
ordered.
At lOiKO the situation remains unchanged ,
except thcro has been n gradual falling off In
the number of members responding to their
names upon rail call. At this hour the pros
pects for an all night session are strength
ening.
The house at 2:15 : a. m. took a recess until
11:45. :
TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
A Mexican Bull Fight nnd Its Horri
ble ConHcqiicnceB.
CITY or MEXICO , April 4. The Two Repub
lics published the following telegram , dated
Calaya , yesterday : Sunday afternoon , about
4:45 o'clock , the ring hero xvas crowded with
spectators. A company of bull lighters was
still playing with the llrst bull when n fire
suddenly broke out. A panic seized the vast
assemblage. The plaza was constructed of
wooden mutts , reeds , etc. , nnd it was duo to
this fact the majority of the people es
caped without injury , being able to force
nn oppening at different points , but many
women nnd children Jumped from the top.
a distance of two to three hundred feet and
over 100 of them were seriously Injured. The
plaza being lined with matting , dry as tinder ,
and there being a slight wind blowing , the
umphltticatcr was in n blaze in u few
seconds. Is'ino dead bodies have so far
been taken from the smoking
ruins and nine others were burned ,
so badly they died later. This makes eigh -
teen deaths up to to-day. Sixty eight per
sons were seriously burned and though they
still live , at least ten of them will die this
week. Many others received lesser injuries.
The bulls , maddened by the roaring flames ,
broke loose from the stalls and rushed wildly
through the surging mass of humanity , tossIng -
Ing aloft and knocking down all who
stood in their way. Among the eigh
teen dead there were two women
who were llrst gored to death by the bulls
and their bodies afterward Durncd. The
scenes in the neighborhood of the bull ring
wore sickening beyond description. Women
and children divested of their clothing and
crazed with suffering from their burns , ran
aimlessly through the streets. Several per
sons lost their reason. In the Calaya Jail
were nine prisoners who had obtained per
mission from the authorities to
attend the bull fight. They were
accompanied by n strong guard of soldiers
to prevent escape. One of the prisoners
struck a match and lighted ono of the dry
mats , and in an instant QUO side of the ring
was ablaze. In the confusion and excitement
the prisoners succeeded in escaping. The
best society of Calaya was in attendance. It
was Easter Sunday nnd there was an un
usual number of ladies nnd children present.
Not a man lost his life. Helpless little ones
and their mothers were the victims of this
catastrophe.

MAS6N Cixr , la. , April 4. [ Special Tolo-
grain to the BBE. ] Slowly yet c ly the
mysteries connected with the Brt ifitnlly
poisoning affair are being cleared away. Over
four weeks have olapscd , and during this
tlino the coroner has devoted his attention tea
a quiet Investigation. Suspicions , founded
solely upon circumstantial evidence , have
grown so strong in the minds of both the cor
oner and people , that the former yesterday
cmpanucllcd a jury to act at n post mortem
examination. Hiram K. Brown , the sou of
the deceased H , L. , shortly after ho was
taken sick , said that If ho ever
recovered ho would do all in his
power to ferret out the cause of the sickness
and deaths in his family. Several days ago
ho published a statement that ho would
make a thorough investigation as soon as ho
was nble , and yet when the coroner notified
him that circumstances were such as to do-
mnnd nn Investigation , ho entered a vigorous
protest and declared tnat ho would not allow
the body of his father to bo oxhumcd , nnd
when ho was sick -ho told n f ricna that ho
would allow no person In the house , nnd the
day following ho told Mrs. Brown's father
that there was rat poison in the house , nnd
told him where ho could find It ,
Such , to say the least , Injudicious actions on
the part of Mr , Brown have again made this
trouble the nil absorbing topic of conversa
tion. Without regarding the son's demands ,
the body of the father was exhumed , and
Drs. Wright ana Phillips took out the
stomach and n part of the intestines for
chronicle analysis. The stomach contained
only about six ounces of fluid matter , nnd
gave appearance that some kind of poison
had affected it. Dr. Wright leaves tomorrow
row for Chicago , taking the stomach with

the Chicago medical college. Meanwhile the
public anxiously await developments.
The Ice Gorge lircnlcfl Awny.
Sioux CITT , la. , April 4. | Special Tele
gram to the Bun. ] The great gorge in the
Missouri river broke about 11 o'clock last
night. The pent-up waters rushed down the
Stream with a roaring noise which could bo
heard hero a half mile from the river bank.
Hundreds of people gathered at the bank to
watch the rapidly rising waters. The river
was lllled from shore to shore with immense
masses of ice , which , clashed together by the
seething current , were berne along at the
rate of twelve miles an hour. Within two
hours the river rose hero eight feet. The
water approached almost to the verge of the
bank ou the upper part of town , and backed
up hi the sewers on Nebraska and Virginia
streets to within a foot of the street levels.
In the lower part of town it overflowed ,
and nt the oxtrcmu point known as Gumbo
Point the masses of ice rapidly were away the
shoro. Hundreds of families took alarm nnd
were prepared to move out at a moment's
notice. The current has sineo been gnawing
away at the bank , and there nro a number of
houses now in danger. The trestle work for
the transfer was torn out.
Farther up the river , in the vicinity of Elk
Point and Jefferson , the Hood is receding ,
but it will bo several days before the low
lands will bo dried. The water to-day is { .till
deep along the Milwaukee line , and reports
of damage are slow to come in. The railroad
company bolinves that not more than two or
thrco miles of track are washed out. The
damage to the railroad bridge across the
Sioux river is worse than at llrst reported.
It will take a week or two to put the bridge
nnd road in operation. As to the farming
country , it is believed that loss dnmngo has
been uono than in the spring of 1SS1 , although
the water has been higher than it was then.

under the prohlbtory law nroso hero to-day.
Some weeks ago the stock of liquors belong
ing to P. L. Stubbs , a wholesale dealer , was
seized under the charge that ho wns Belling
under violation. The liquors were put under
the charge of a watcher pending n decision
in the courts. It is charged that a few days
ago ho secretly removed a portion of the
liquors to the freight housoof the Burlington
road while the attention of the watcher was
diverted. To-day Conhtublo Pierce pounced
down upon the freight house and captured
twenty-one barrels of whisky under the pro-
tcnso that he wus recapturing the goods
taken from custody , but it is charged that ho
took inoro than the Stubbs liquor , und seized
BOino regularly consigned to another dealer ,
So the threat is inado to-night that Stubbs
will bo prosecuted for having btoien his own
liquors , and that Constable Pierce will bo
prosecuted for having stolen somebody olso's
liquor in his zeal to .recapture the llrst lot.
The liquor seized to-day is valued at ? J,100.

body of a man wus discovered lying beside
the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy track ,
The police were notified and were boon on
hand. They took possession of the body and
a coroner's Inquest was hold. The man ap
peared to have been a stranger hero , ni no
ono could identify him. Ho had in his pocket
a tax receipt dated PIttsburg , Pa. , in Janu
ary , In favor of Samuel McGuire , also a re
ceipted bill for merchandise bought , which
bill was given to G.V. . Beckett. This bill is
dated March. Ho also had on his person a
passenger check from St. Louis to De
Molnes , which was punched to Ottumwa.
No other papers were found , leaving it u
question whether his name is Beckett or
McGulrc. How the accident happened Is
also unknown. Ho is supposed to have been
fctruck by the fust mall , which passed a short
time previous to the discovery of the body.
Ho had the appearance of u man about thirty
or thirty-li vo. Thu body was not badly mu
tilated , the fatal hurt appearing to bo a blow

The Bif * Storm in Jcwcy Results In
n Wedding.
Jnnsnr Cirr , April 4. [ Special Telegram
to the BKK.I The gossips of Glen Ridge ,
this state , are just a llttlo excited over n
wedding that occurred there to-day , the
parties being Miss Juliet Lavolle , of Bloomfield -
field , and Mr. R. Frost Forrester , of Mont-
clalr.
R. F. Forrester , or "Dick" Forrester , ns
ho is familiarly known , the groom , is a hand
some man , about twenty-five years old. Ho
conies of a wealthy and refined family and is
n New York stock broker.
Miss Lavelle , the bride , is Just past nine
teen years old. She has a beautiful form ,
handsome features und charming manners.
Her parents are fairly well-to-do , and she Is
employed as a type-writer in a New York
law olliee.
Nearly every morning for n year past For
rester and Miss Lavello have been passen
gers on the train to New York on the Morns
iS : Essex railroad , and chance usually placed
them in the same car. They had noticed
each other , but until Monday , March 13 ,
that memorable blizzard day , had never
E > poken.
On that morning the train was stalled
about one-quarter of the distance to Newark.
After an hour's wait Mr. Forrester noticed
that Miss Lavollo was unusually nervous
over the prolonged delay. Young Forrester
asked her if ho could be of any service to
her. She replied that ho could not and then
explained that she had in a small vaiiso
Komo important legal documents which were
to bo used in one of the New York courts on
that day.
Forrester told her that the courts would
probably remain closed on account of the
severe storm , but she would not bo com
forted by such an argument.
About noon Forrester and Miss Lavello de
cided to try and reach Soho , about two miles
distant. The start wus made , and for naif
nn hour they struggled bravely along.
Then Miss Lavelle begun to pet exhausted ,
and required more assistance from Mr. For
rester.
roWhen about ono of the two miles had been
left behind them Miss Lavullo suddenly sank
in a snowbank and declared she could go no
further. Forrester urged her to bear up ,
but she fa In ted away and for several minutes
was unconscious.
She fimilly revived siifllelently to stand up ,
She thought she could struggle on to Soho ,
nnd another start was made. Less than ton
minutes altorwai-d she screamed and f.ilnted
again. When she revived n third start wus
made , and the depot was soon reached , but
both Forrester and Miss Lavello were almost
dciid from exhaustion.
The small station was deserted , but it con
tained n little old-fashioned stove , homo coal
and a little \vood , Forrester hml some
matches and a llro wus BOOH stui-led.
Forrester then started out after food , but
ho could find nothing , and the two were
compelled to remain in the lOvlJ room all
niRlit. About 10 o'clock Tuesday morning ,
while they were dozing on boats near thu
stove , the door was burnt In and three rail
road men entered.
Forrester sprang to his foot , roused Mlts
Lavelle , and attempted to explain matters
to the trainmen ,
Strikes and Strikers.
There was a largo attendance yesterday
nt the hall of the Bricklayers' union , but no
action was taken relating to the strike.
In the headquarters of the HrlrkmuherV
association , Mr. Coots has posted a notice
that ho had ten bricklayers for whom ho had
no work , and contractors in need of men
could bo accommodated to that extent by
calling upon him.
When the reporter visited the rooms thcro
were three strani'era present , who clulmed to
bo bricklayers , nnd who said they
had come from abroad to get work.
Thcro wns nothing about them to indlca'o
tliat they did not toll the truth. They looked
like slrungors and trumps without the conll-
donco of men who understood tholr business ,
Ono of the contractors took them under his
escort to n Job he has In progress , remarking
that ho would discover In half an hour
whether or not they were the men ho
wanted ,

on the floor. It is possible that the sharp
break in prices had something to do with the
depression In wheat , for it appeared to take
the lead In seeking n lower level of values.
The break , which amounted , all told , to IJtfo
in May and to 1 V@l..fc ! in more deferred fu

showing no disposition to revive or rocupoi -
ate. The loss to holders from the adjourn

wore on the the basis of fi'JXo for May ai d

striking railroad employes was the chief
cause of the slump. The prospect of nn
early resumption of business by the Burling
ton road , and the estimated receipts of 1550
cars of corn for to-morrow , took all of the
faith out of would-bo buyers In antici
pation of n further appreciation by

the bears to put out increased
