Silver the AlMorbinjj Topic Free
Coinage3Ien Very Strong.
WisinNoioN" , April 10. A caucus of the
republican representatives was hold tonight.
Tlio silver problem threw everything else in
the background. Chairman Conger of the
coinage committee explained the Windoni
bill as modilled. He believed the luuasuro
was a strong one and calculated to meet the
public demand. A representative from
one of the now western state's
was for free coinage and ho
declared it could bo established without
danger and with great bcnolit. Iteprc.scnt.i-
tive Walker advised the republicans to sup-
poit the committee bill. In the course of the
debate the senate committee proposition to
coin Mr , > 00,000 silver monthly wa.s discussed
and found some adherents. Ono
of the objections inndo to the
house committee bill was that there was
no inducement for any one to sell si Ivor to the
treasury at the market price , us ho could
ivuillty soil nt the nearest market to Individ
uals. To this answer was made that u bene-
llciiil effect would still obtain ; that the price
of sijver would bo steadied and kept at the
maximum.
A feature- the dcbato.was the remarkable
strength of the free coinage men , nnd as an
eastern member said , the house is appnrt'iitly
restrained from passing the free coinsigo bill
only by fear of tlio presidential veto.
McKlnley championed the committee bill
and Cannon showed a decided leaning toward
a compromNo lietween the house and senate
propositions. No attempt was miulo to vote
except on a proposition for the appointment
of a committee of sixteen , including the re
publican members of the coinage committee ,
to consider the subject , consult the republi
can senate committee and endeavor to arrange
a project for next Monday night's caucus.
A committee of republican senators charged
with duly framing a silver bill to secure the
support of the majority of the senate held
a long meeting tonight at Senator Sherman's
house. Nothing deilnito was accomplished
and another meeting will be necessary.
There are two proposition ! ! before the com
mittee , one to nuthorl/o theunUiuited coinage
of silver bullion produced in the United States ,
the second to limit the amount of silver to bo
coined to { WK)0,000 ) ( ) a year , to bo purchased
by the secretary of the treasury without re
gard to the place of production. An impres
sion prevails that the latter proposition will
bo adopted.

the defeat of the motion the Alton promptly
announced that it would make the reduction

have failed to roorcaufce the Western States
Passenger : i3soeja'ton. | , Iiifact , today's moot

than Over : Up til * f ho "lust moment it was
hoped the Missouri 'Pacific ' would como into
tlio fol'd , but it did not , today's meeting
opening , without imy representation
from the Gould road. The Trans-Mis
souri representatives favored ignoring
the Missouri Pacific and while
ndx'nnclng rates elhexvhero fighting the Mis
souri Pacific in its own territory. The job
was too big a one , hoxx'over , and gained no
nexv converts. A motion to advance rates in
the northwest was voted doxvn by the ad
verse votes of the Burlington & Northern and
Wisconsin Central. The former wanted tlio
association reorganised before an advance was
made and tlio Wisconsin Central demanded u
dilTerenti.il in the running times of its trains
before it would agree to an advance. It was
finally determined- abandon any
attempt to advance rates and work
on the reorganization of the association. The
partially accepted no.xv agioomont was or
dered printed with all amendments offered ,
the whole to be considered at a meeting to beheld
held late in April , All answer was ordered
sent to the letter pf Interstate Cotnmerco
Commissioner Morrison on the subject of

long one , but in liief ) it denies that the ex
cursions In question uro not open to the pub

The Pauillc : Heads Committee.
WASHINGTON , April 10. The house commit
tee on Pacific railroads has entered upon the
formal consideration of the senate bill pro
viding for the settlement of the government
indebtedness of the Union and Central Pacific
railroad companies. Tlio first five sections ,
covering the case of the Union Pacific com
pany , were approved with u few changes.
The most Iinpoitant is ono reducing from ! )
per cent to I'-f per cent the interest to bo
jiaid by the company upon bonds falling
duo during the next fl\-o years. Provisions
are made , hoxvevor , for cnpitali/.lntr the dif
ference between the Uj per cent rote and the
full It per cent rate for five years , so that
the effect of tlio change Is to reduce the
amount of payment for a time , but to make
the final payments heavy enough to cover the
difference. The committee also struck out
the fourth section of the clause relating to the
government guarantee of lauds.

Hermit of Oniaha'H Second ( < amo With
the Cleveland Team.
Gus Schmelz's Cleveland National league
team met the Omuhus ut the local park yes
terday afternoon for the second time this sea
son in the presence of about WH1 people. They
scored uu easy vlcory , but nobody feels very
bad , for Omaha outplayed the t'oront City
lambs , and It was only an exhibition game at
that.
The day was a lovely ono for ball playing.
Clour skloH , genial sunihlno and a refreshing
breeze wore the elements that made up this
condition of things. And yet the game was
a lifeless one , and quite slouchy in a good
many ivipoets Still too much inuil not bo
Um.iUiu at thu carl } atu e of jI I j
tlin game , for as yet they have played to
gether In only four games , and are nil yet
sadly In need of practice.
Aith the snum amount of preliminary prac
tice \vlth the Cleveland * they should beat
them about four games out of live.
FiiiiiilnL' and Krqunrlmrt were In the points
for the homo team. Fanning , while he
pitched effectively , evinced but little ability
as a fielder , and gave three men bi.se.s : ou
hall * , hit two others and undo a wild pitch.
In justice to him , however , It should bo
stated that ho has had less practlcn than any
minion the toum , and ho will pan out all right.
Ho has great speed and good curves ; is a
hard worker and cannot fall to do good work
when once In form. Kiininrhart caught a
faultless game , and smashed the ball hard ,
but unluckily.
The other two new men. Kcarns nnd Illnes ,
nequltt < > d themselves handsomely , particu
larly Hlnes. The captain wits not exactlpat !
himself. All the old men did well , Walsh's
two errors both In'ing excusable ones.
The Clevolnnds got In a tally In the second
on Davis' throe sucker * and a bad muff by
Koams.
No moro runs were scored until the htst
half of the fourth inning , when Cleveland
piled up th.i'C. Vouch look his base on balls ,
Davis was hit with the ball , andiin Fanning' *
wild throw to third of Deuso'.s little Infield
hit both base runners scored , Dense going to
third , whence ho scurried homo n moment
later on Walsh's error.
In the sixth they made their total 5.
Dense , Ardner and Sommors hit safe suc
cessively , the first reaching homo on Me-
Koan's sacrifice. The other two men were
left.
Omaha made her two runs In the eighth.
Cleveland got a base on balls mid round to
third on a wild throw by Dense. Keurns then
made a hit and Ktmer came home. Deuso
then made a second wild throw trying to
catch ICeanis stealing second , and he reached
third , tallying a moment later on nines' long
fly to right.

N , April 10. In the semite todn\
among the petitions presented mid reform
was ono from the Galvcitou , Tex. , board ol
trade against the proposed duty ou lead ore
Among the bills ivxirteil | from the commit
teei and placed on thu calendar were the fol
lowing : The senate bill appropriating # . ' , ' 1 ,
000 for the Improvement of the Columbli
river , Oregon ; the house bill to aid vessels
disabled in waters co-tcrmluus to the Unitei
States and Canada ; the senate bill to revivi
the grade of lieutenant general of the nriny.
The Montana election case was again taker
up nnd Mr. Call addressed the senate In oppo
sition to the report of the majority of tin
committee declaring the two ropublloai
claimants , Sanders and Power , entitled upor
the merits of the case to seats In the scniiti
from Montana.
At the conclusion of Mr. Call's speech Mr ,
Hoar spoke in support of the majority report ,
Mr. Gray replied to Mr. Hoar and then Mi-
Teller , memberof thocolumltteo on privilege.
ami elections , addressed tlio senate. Ho re
garded the question not from a partisan
standpoint of view , but as a question of law
on the proper determination of which depended
ponded the orderly behavior of the senate in
the future. The question was whether Mon
tana should bo allowed to select her own ret )
rcsentnUvcs. A good many senators on hl
side of the chamber , including himself ,
thought certain stales had not b"on rope.-
scnted in the senate according to the will ol
their people. Ho was not Insensible ti :
the great wrong Inllieted on the people
ple of those states. He hold thai the
only thing to bo determined was whether
Montana hail spoken through Its legislature ;
and , if it had , there was no authority In the
senate to revise that finding or to set it aside.
What , ho asked , was the controversy In the
cusol It was whether or not five men who
had sat in the Iron hall legislature wore en
titled to soata in lli.it body. If It was not
that then there was no controversy at all. If
they were there rightfully it was rightful.
The house and joint assembly that elected the
republican claimants was the rightful and
only Joint tusembly in Montana. But the
senate had said in the Tin pie case that thu
legislature of Indiana had to decide for itself
who wow entitled to seats in that
body. Although there iniKhL have bein
the grossest outrauo committed , in admitting
the men to seats the senate held ( in that case )
that it had no right to Interfere. The light
ing of that wrong was not entrusted to tlu'
senate of the United States , but to the jn'oplo
of Indiana. There was no lejr.'l distinction
between the coses. If the Seuiito should ever
proceed to make itself th" Invc.sllirator uC
elections oil o\er the country there would bean
an end to its usefulness. If thu'seimto were
to exorcise power in this case the senate
would have no excuse for not exorcising it in
the senatorial elections in several southern
states.
Mr. 'Purple said tlr.it In the Indiana case the
legislature it-H'l ! passed judicially upon the
contested scats , whereas the legislature of
Montana had not passed Judicially on tin'
contested seals from Silver Bow county. If
it had done so there would be no dispute in
tills case.
Mr. Sherman said be found all the fact.i
sufficiently stated in the minority report to
control his judgment. He said it was sip-
p-iivnt theiofrom that as to the five repre
sentatives from Silver Bow county neither
set had ccrlilicaUs according to fcirm. The
senate of Montana was a tie and in the house
there were twenty-five republic- ! ! ! and
twenty-four democratic membei's about
whose righto to their seats there was no.
question. There was , thcrofoii'.u republican
major ! ) > on joint ballot , or if th contest o\or
Silver ts w county hail coin.to bo dot ided by
the house there was a majority on the republi
can side by which the lopubliean conte.t nts
could have been H'Mleil. These simple fact , ! ,
ho thought , contained all the eleni'nU of a
just decision in the mattt-r and showed thai
the republican claimants for seats in the
semite had a majority on Joint ballot and had
a majority in the house without any
reference to the members fiom Broken Bow
county. After some debate by Mcnt.rM.
Bow en , Edmunds and Knstis , Mr. Sherman
asked tlio hitter whether twenty-live repub
lican members of the house did not constitute
a majority of that body. Mr. Kuslis ad
mitted that , numerically , twenty-live w.is
more than twenty-four , but be added that
tweiity-flvo did not make a quorum and that
in the constitutional meaning twenty-live
was not a larger number than twenty-four.
A quorum was twenty-eight. IIo went on to
relate some matt era within his own experi
ence , returning board measures in his own
state , nnd also referred to the seating of
William Pitt Kcllogg in the senate ot thu
United States and Kind that with that act on
the part of the republican , p.nty before his
mind there w.is nothing loft to ccito
his .surprise in regard to any contested
election caso. The debate drifted again in
tlio direction of the Turpio e.iso andMr.Voor-
hees went on to state the facts in connection
with it.
Tlio question having been proposed by Mr.
ICeniia as to whether forty senators , with un
questioned credentials , forty-two being a
qurnini , could go to work mid orgnnl/o and
pass upon the credentials of another forty-
two whoso titles were uuestiouod , Mr. Hoar
said lie would think over it before undertak
ing to answer it. Tills was precisely , Mr.
Kenna said , the question that presented
itself in tlio Montana caso. Partial responses
to tlio question were made by several sena
tors , but Mr. Kenna said none of them came
straight to the point. Adjourned.

Mr. Cannon nald ho did not Know much

report of the majority of the com
mittee on customs union with three
dissenting votes , thu Argentine Kopiiblic ,

in substance , that reciprocity t ivatios l > e ne

making concessions that the peculiar products
of all may be introduced free into the others.
The committee on port lines ivported It 1m
practicable to completely alnillsli the i barges
now liujmsod on vessels , and made several
recommendations The report was adopted.
The coafoivnco at the time of adjourn ment
had under consideration the ro | > ort. of the
committee on banking. It savs the future
development of commercial relations will depend -
pond as largely on the development of Inter
national banking facilities us on any other single -
glo condition. The f ( reign commerce of tlm r
West Indies , Mexico and South and Central
America last year amounted to * l,0 ; > ri.riiKM |
In I'liltod S tat os gold. The total exchange
of commodities between the United States
and the countries or the south nggregutoil

of a commission of -t per cent on a large pro
portion of these sums , which , together
with the Interest ami dllTcronco.s In e\
change might he saved to the several
countries. The ivport. recommends the passage
sago of a law by the I'liltedSUitea Ineoiporat
Ing an International American bank with
ample capital , with the prh itcgc on ( he part
of the eltl/ens of the soxcrnl countries In tin-
confederacy to lake shares In such bunk pro
rata to their foreign commerce. The bunk
should have no power to issue circulating
bank notes , but should have nil other powers
now enjoyed by the national banks ol * the
United States us to deposits and discount , the
issuing of letters of credit , the mnklni : of

already be done by the great banking
firms who are carrying en business undur

recommends to the gnxvrnmcnts V presented
the granting of concessions lor imcrnatim-al
banking and e.si > ccialry a bank organized us
abovexvlth branches or agencies In several
countries. The committee suggests to the
United States delegates the desirability of
submitting the ivport to the president with
the view that should he deem It proper h
may recommend to the congress of the United
