The vcnerablo Cyrus W. Tlcld has written
Borne vci-y indignant letters to friends In
Washington complaining Unit ho was not in
vited to the dedication of the ( larllcld menu
ment. After the assassination of Oaifleld it
was lie who raised the fund of 100,000 for the
benefit of Iho w Idow , and during Iho memo
rial exercises held in the house of reprcscnt-
ntivcs in Ibb'J he was the guest of honor and
eat with the president and cabinet. Hethinks
lie should have received similar distinction at
the Cleveland ceremonies , but was entlrelj *
overlooked , although thousands of invitations
were sent to others , It Is not possible that
nny slight was intended. The local commit
tee who had chaigcof the arrangements ut
Cleveland simply forgot him.
STUllllOllN snS'ATOUS.
Ilcpicscnlnllvo Mori ill , the chairman of the
conference committee on the part of the house
on the pension Dili , told mo this afternoon
that the < cm nltteo would have another meet
ing tomoirow and that ho hoped that they
would boub e tongiee. Ho was not entirely
certain of it , but still was confident. "Wo
cannot afford to leti the bill fail , " ho ro-
imnkcd. "And it the senatois will not j'ield ,
vvc w 111 have to. " Mr Mor-rill thinks that if
the senate conferees would permit them to
submit tho'points of difference item by item
to n vote of the house lhat an agreement
might bo reached much cnilier , but the sen
ate commitico insists that the bill shall bo
voted on as a w hole.
SI/NATI : uxA\cn COMMITTCI- .
Senator Aldiieh , who Is very active in his
work on the t.niff bill , told mo this afternoon
that the senate sub-committee on finance
would complete its woik on Iho measure and
would bo ublo to submit it to the full cominlt-
.Acc some time next week. Ho thinks it maj'
uo reported to the house by the 15th of the
month and that it can bo got through the sen
ate befoio July 1 , but the other members of
the committee are not so sanguine ns Mr.
Aldtirh and arc expecting a long session.
It is probable that the duty on lumber w ill
be reduced from $ J to * 1 per 1,000 feet , al
though the Michigan , Wisconsin and Maine
men iiro working haul to maintain the pres
ent rate. They would bo likely to accept a
compromise of SUM ) per-1,000 , which was the
rate fixed in the bill that passed the semite
last session , but they still insist Unit they
will not do so. Senator Washbuni of Min
nesota has created a great deal of surprise by
introducing an amendment to the tariff bill ,
placing while plno lumber on the free list ,
nnd as ho comes fiom a stale lhat pioduces a
gi cat deal of lumber , his motive is not thor-

There is nothing heard at the capltol but
nllver talk and the debaters seem tireless.
But it will bo out ot older on the house side
at ! l o'clock tomorrow and the manapcts of the
bill bellovo the soimte will vote upon the bill
before the end of the week , so that other
legislation can bo considered.
The fiscal j ear w 111 expire Juno : i and sev
eral of the most important appropiiation bills
are still in committee.
A good deal of ncrv ouMiess Is felt on the re
publican side of the house oer the result of
the vote on the silver bill tomorrow
Ycstciday Uoproscntatlvo Payson and
nineteen other republicans declared
that thoj * would vote to recommit
the bill and instruct the cornmilteo toivpoit
a frco coinage measure unless the republicans
would agree to strike out the bullion re
demption feature of the pending bill. This
reads as follow s "Piovided that upon de
mand of the holder of anj-of the tre.ismj *
notes herein provided for the seeretarj of Iho
trcusiny may , at his discretion and under
such regulations as ho shall prescribe , ex
change ( or such notes an amount ot silver-
bullion which shall ho equal in v nine nt the
market price thereof on the dale of exchange' ,
to the amount of smli notes as presented. "
Hut unlloi the lilies there is now no wajbj
which Iho speaker can entertain a motion to
'btilko out the previous question after
iu has been ordeted on the bill
nnd the pending amendment , and
w hen thej' hov o been voted upon there will
be only two motions in order , first , to re
commit the bill to the eommlttec.anO . , second ,
that the bill do pass ,
_ Mr. Pajson said jester-day that ho thought
lie saw a waj to get In n motion to stiiko out
the objectionable clause and ho still thinks ho
can do it , but hoth McKinley and Cannon ,
who are members of Iho commltteo on rules ,
Bald Ibis niter-noon lhat It was iaipossiblo.
Mr. Bland insisls that the speaker has
agreed to recognize him to mal.o a motion to
recommit Uro bill with Instructions to the
committee lo report a tree coinage measure
within folly eight hours , and that both Mr
MclCIiiley and Mr. Cannon in Iheir speeches
yesterday acknowledged that such an agree
ment existed. The speaker dee-lined to
bo Interviewed on the subject , but both Mr
McKlnloy and Mi- Cannon saj that the op
portunity to vote upon such a preposition
will bo offered , Mr. JJland , they say , may
not bo the person recognized to m ike the mo
tion , but probably some free eolmigo republi
can vv 111 be. This causes a row. The speaker
is already eiitlilscd for reftulng to allow the
democrats to oftor amendments to tUo bill
vcstfidaj * . Pour amendments were otlered ,
but the ) were all from iho republican side , so
that the democrats may m-opcrly say that
they have had no voice In the lei-ialution. I
think the speaker will recognize Mr Bland If
ho recognizes any one , and that will dei > end
upon u confidential canvass that Is going
on this after-noon. The republican lend
ers are counting noses lo see how * many
members will vote vv ith the democrats on
such iv proposition. If they rind that enough
vv ill do so to adopt It , no cuio will bo recog
nized , although Mr , Bland w ill make such a
chiller us was never heard before. If they
llnd that there Is no danger of its adoption
Mr Bland will bo given an opportunlly to
make a buncombe record.
Although there are at least twenty anti-
free coinage democrats in the housethev
w 111 not bo depended ui m bce-auso they are
likely to vole against their convictions to
uiluss thy republicans or else not vote at
nil. The free coinage republicans are very
firm tonight. They say Unit tlicro are four
teen w ho still adhere to their original inten
tion of voting to recommit the bill unless
the bullion clauses is stricken out , and
that Is n suftlclcnt number to catrj * the propo
sition , but Iho wires arc being pulled as they
have seldom been pulled before to secure n
solid party stippott for the bill ns it was
adopted by the caucus.
The frco silver .senators nro assisting in the
canvass and nro giving assurances that they
w ill strike out the objectionable clause when
the bill gels to Unit end of the capital , but
this does not satlsfj * the free coinage repub
licans in the house. They nrguo that their
constituents are in favor of frco coinage and
will not forgive them for not voting for it ,
now that the oppoi tunlty offers. Their re-
nomination to congress is nt stake and they
must take care of themselves. Just what the
result will hois hard to conjecture , but the
republican leaders w ill not permit the bill to
go bark to the committee if they can prevent
it. Tnoy realI/o Unit if iv frco coinage bill
passes the house it is likely to pass the senate
also bja combination between the democrats
and republicans from west of the Missouri ,
and then it will certainly bo vetoed by the
president.A

There was a funny scene In the house this
afternoon. The heat has been Intense hero
for the hist three or four daj's and the ther
mometer has ranged over ninety in the hall
of representatives. The venerable Mr. Walker
of Massachusetts , w ho Is a very stout man.
became so waini In discussing the silver bill
that ho removed his coat and collar nnd cuffs ,
wliercupon he was greeted by tv tremendous
round of applause on both sides of the House ,
but the speaker did not quite approve of this
informality and sent a page to inform Mr.
Walker that ho had better resume his gar
ments , The latter- declined to do so , pie-
fciring comfort to formalitj'even at the risk
of violating the rules nnd offending the
speaker , who soon after rapped him
down nnd declared that his time
had expired. Mnnv of the representatives

WASHINGTON , Juntf C. - > [ Spccinl to Tin :
Bnr. ] Not half the thrilling Incidents of the
war have over been v , rltteii for the public.
If ono could conne'ct iho stories on lllo in the
pension ofilcc and In the eommlttccs of con
gress in such a way as to ni.ilio 11 continuous
nairatlve , they would excel all the works
which hayo heretofore been put into book
form. In the preparation of committee re
ports letters and statements are often found
which tell of Incidents quite as affective as the
ono related of Damon and Pythias. The
senate committee on pensions 1ms been con-
sideling a bill to grant u pension of S.J.OOO a
year to the widow of the late General Crook ,
the great Indian fighter Who recently died in
command of the division at Chicago. This
great warrior left his willow in absolute need ,
although ho was upon a good salary fora
quarter of n century and had hundreds of op
portunities to have made a splendid compe
tence if his ambition bad run in that
direction.
There have been many stories published
about Gcneial Creole illustrative of his
bravery and kind heart , but In its prepara
tion of a favorable report upon the bill to
pension Mrs , Crook the committee has been
given n letter from the llloa of the pension
ofllco which has never helm seen by the pab-
110 and which relates an incident showing the
rcmarkabln typo of manhood w hich was not
only possessed by Gcnend Ciook , but a man
who was once at the great warrior's mercy
and received unusual act of hinnano treat
ment. The letter should bo introduced by
the statement that Gcneial Crook in Feb
ruary , ISOo , ono day left Ids command in the
viclnltj of Cumberland , Md , to pay a visit
to his sweetheart , now his w idow , Miss Mnrv
Daly , and wlrilo iu CumLcrland was captured
by confederate soldiers. The letter below
was received by him whijo In prison :

THE GREAT SILVER DEBATE ,
Representative Walker of Massnolmsotte
Says More Money Means More Misery ,

Silver in the Senate.
WASHINGTON , Juno 0 The silver debate
was resumed in the house this morning. Mr.
Llnd of Minnesota , the llrst speaker , said ho
represented an agricultural disti let , the
{ .timers of which wcio not poor ,
but who wcio prosperous. The de
pressed condition was duo to the
low prices of agricultural products.
Ho thought prices wcio affected by the
amount of money in circulation. The increase
in the purchasing \aluo of gold was duo to
the fart that its production was dccicaslncr
while its use in the arts was increasing. If
sliver had been allowed to retain its plaeo as
money throughout the world , it , too , would
have enhanced in puielmslng power. Silver
should bo restored to its former position.
Tliis was demanded bj' the great mass of the
American people. It was noniKUincnttosiiy
the people didn't understand the question The
people could think and icoson as well as
members of congi ess The judgment of the
popular mind , like a woman's reasoning , was
usuallj' right. Commenting on the thrco
measures before the house , ho said the
treasury bill was the most objectionable
Under n fiiendlj'secretary it may bo useful
in Increasing the volume of cmrenoy , but
under an unfiiendlj' secretary it might bo
dangerous. Personally ho thought the fieo
coinage bill showed not only the best but the
quickest way to settle the ques
tion , but ho thought it was
nlw ays best to yield something oven to preju-
diec , if by doing so legislation almost equally
cfllcacioui and less objectionable could bo se-
cuied. Such a measure was the republican
caucus bill.
Mr. newer of New York confined his re-
maiks not to the silver question , but to a
constitutional amendment relegating to
people within picsriibcd localities the ehoico
of such administrative officials whoso ftuition
of ofllco lies mostly within aprescrrocd area
and whoso ehoico is of consequence onlj' to
the people whom they Immediately sciv e.
' Mr. Lacy of Iowa said the countiy was met
with a contraction of the cuircncy. The
pending bill proposed to give the country an
increase to offset the contraction and even
moie. It was practically a free coinage bill.
The capacity ot the mints was S' > 0,000)0. ( ) ( )
The output of the mints was $31,000,000.
The frco coinajro of ever j dollar of American
sitor would be about $31,000.000. yet this bill
pioposcd to give So-1,000,000 of legal tender
tieasuiv notes. Itwasafico coinage incas-
uio because it piovided that when silver was
at par the mints should bo opened to fieo
coinage. The eountrj'needed an expansion
of the cm rcncy in a safe waj' , and tills bill
piovulcd for it.
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts spoke against
frco coinage. Ho asserted that the di1-
rnoneti/ation of silver w as not the cause of
the dccieaso of prices. Priecs had been going
down for 100 jcars. Moro rnonoy meant rnoio
misery "
Mr. Perkins of Kansas rcmaiked in that
connection , "Wo all love rniseiv. "
Walker added that ho w as going to vote for
the pfnding bill because the-niembevs of the
house from 1803 up totiio present , time , for
the purpose of getting back heio , had uiged
and encouraged the people in their follv" until
thcj- had como to such a state of mind that
something must be done or they would break
the members up. [ Laughter ] It was pure
politics. That was all there was about it.
Mv. Blouut of Gcoigm contended that sil
ver demonetization had cast a bliirhting
curse over everjbodj' except the c.rpatalist.
To rncrcaso the volume of mentation was the
only way to relieve not onlj- the ugiicultur.il
interests , but oveiy oj.hcr interest in the
countiy Ho ciiticiicd the treasurj'bill de
claring that it was intended to stop the fur
ther coinage of silver dollais. It was u Wall
street measure He also criticised the cau
cus bill and advocated a free coinage rne.is-
uro.
uro.Mr. . Bland said ho could only piotest
against the abolishment of the right ol mem
bers of the minority to oiler amendments
The frag law was placed upon the mimnitj
for the purpose of pissing the bill through
the house , the efiect of which would bo to de
monetize silver. The bill was a Wall shoot
schcino and a gold bug scheme
to chanpo the rate between gold and
silver. Itrccognued sller bullion accoiding
toils gold value Silver was being mui-
dercd in the house of its friends. Ho es
pecially critieiscd the bullion redemption
clause , arguing that it w ould pi event any up
picciablo expansion of the curienej' . It
would hold out the temptation tothosecio-
tuiy of the ticasmj to make millions of dollars
lars , out of speculation in AVall street. The
fieo coinage of silver would not anprceiato
silver bullion , but w ould depreciate gold bul
lion and bring the two metals to a parity.
The government must either issue Hat money
or give unlimited use to gold and silver.
Mr. Kcrr of low a adv ocated the bill as a
long step in the right dlicction. it would re
sult In the dcinonotiration of silver and in the
tw o metals ultlmatelj1 going hand in hand.
Mr Tow nscnd of Colorado said that pros-
pciitj'would not r etui n and that the down
ward oonrso of pi Ices would not bo nirostcd
until silver was leturncd toils proper plaio.
The onlj' complete and perfect remedy was to
reverse the notion of 1st J and go back to the
fieo add unlimited coinage of silver.
oMr Dorsoy of Nebraska-said that if Secre
tary Windom had purchased and coined the
maximum amount of silver allowed under
Iho existing laws ( f 1,000,000 , per month ) there
w ould have been no need of this discussion
and ho would have stiengthenedtho adminis
tration of President Harrison To that sec
tion of the s-ulHtltuto which piovided for
bullion icdcmption Mr Doisoj- emphatically
objected. "Would it not bo better to cover
the $1,000,000 icdemption fund into the tiers-
ury and use as a part of Iho ciieulating
medium nnd in case United States notes
wcio picsentcd for redemption and thcio
was no immoy to meet the demand or
allow the sccretarv to sell the bonds to meet
the demand I" The bullion redemption
feature should bo stileken out , and ho ap
pealed to his side of the house to- allow u
vote on the proposition
Mr. Morgan of Arkansas -appealed to the
gentlemen on the other side who believed in
free coinage to restore silver to its pioper
place , not step by step , but as it v\as do-
stio\cd in ono Jump.
The house at a o'clock took rcqess until 8.
bc'nato.
WVSIIISCITON , Juno 0 In the senate today
the house amendment to the seiTuto bill estab
lishing a publlo park in thoDIstiictof Co
lumbia was disagreed to and a conference
asked.
Mr. Mitchell moved to reconsider the vote
by which the senate j-estorday passed the bill
authorizing the construction of a railway
bridge across the Columbia river near Yin-
couvcr. Motion entered.
A new conference was ordered on the de
pendent pension bill
The silver bill was taken up nnd Mr. Plumb
addressed the senate. Ho believed it was all
but the unanimous opinion of the people that
a very considerable incicaso In the volume of
the currency was necossarj * . The chuulation
today was ? iOO.000,000 loss than the fuuneni
of the linnncial legislation of lbD an
ticipated , although the commuiclal business
of the country had doubled The total amount
of money the people of the United States
had for the transaction of dally business
would not exceed ftVW.OOO.OOO. Ho behoved
it was loss than 1500,000,000 , and upon that
narrow foundation had boon built un enor
mous structure of credit , propped hero and
there by devices of various Kinds , and it kept
swelling and growing whllo the base on
which It rested did not grow ' > proportion to
the structure. The senator from New York
( .Hlscock ) had jcstviday described the great
wealth nnd prosperity of the country , but ii
the picture was tiuo why was it the senatoi
and his committee ( the llnanco commlttoeV
wcro piling up protective- duties ! Hi !
( Plumb * * ) idea was that not not only Miouh
the vacancy of the national bank elrcula
tion be made lip , but there ought .U
bo added to that at least as much nswoult
result from the free coinage of silver. IU
was willing to abandon his idea of llat monoj
and to widen the base of the credit structure
by adding to It all the silver that Uio United
States could turn out. According to the bosl
data there was less than $00,000,000 , worth ol
silver mined every j car in the United States
Of that some $ .10,000,000 was coined , .OOO.tHX
was usi'd in the aits and only $17,000,000 , coulii
bo used In frco coinage' It was to bo remem
bered Unit the national bank circulation was
being retired , the amount to bo retired this
j car being $15,000,000. ,
Mr. Plumb went on to speak of silver In
connection with the question of pi election.
The senate had been appealed to j esterdaj' '
by the senator from New York ( Hlscock )
against ttio bill in the sacred name ol
protection. Silver was an American product ,
a much larger pioduct than runny others
which wcio to bo piotccted by duties of01
to HOD per cent under the now tai Iff bill. He
would HKo to ask the senator from New York ,
who was so anxious about foreign commcirc.
what ho intended to do with the tin 1ft bill
which would prevent the United States fiom
having any foreign commcico. Ho hoped lit
might inter pr-et the senator's rennuks on thai
point as n hopeful augury of the action of lhat
senator on the bill now before Iho llminci
committee , n bill which would rnlso the price
of nearly ovcrlhlng used bj- the masses of the
people.
The silver bill was then laid aside.
A message from the president iclatlng tc
the huiditiK of un armed force from a revenue
cutter at Cedur ICeys , Flu. , was lead and ro-
fonod to the committee on Judicial y. Ad
