( , Jan. 10. ) Mrs. Tsui ICwo Yin will make her debut In pollto society at n ball which the Chln o minister has announced for next Thursday nlsht. She Is the wile of tha minister , nnd until now has keyt hor.iolf In strict seclu sion , customary among Chinese women. A ball nt. the Chinese legation is always anticipated with doliphtm Washington for It Is iho most picturesque event of the season. At times it hni boon token ad vantage of by tbo horde of free lunch society fiends who haunt oflloial receptions to break through all rules of decorum und decency for the purpose of getting n look at Chlnoso peculiarities nnd a taste of Chinese dishes. This was carried to a scandulous extent at thd ball of the Chlnoso minister nboul four jroars ago. People who had not been invited crowded into the house nnd took possession of the refreshment room. The attendants mid waiters were powerless to keep back the hungry mot ) . Men put bottles of cham pagne in tholr pockets nnd carried oft liberal supplies of odd cakes , twisted Chinese cigars , bird's nest pudding , etc. , ns souvenirs. Tbo Chinamen looked on with astonishment at this exhibition of our modern civilisation. There was no attempt to stop It , and the crowd hold full sway until every thine movo- nblo hud been carried off. Slnco that time precaution has boon takou to keep a largo force of police on hand to calm the prouon- filtlos of the guests. Rrrorinlnc Ok-stliil Customs. The denut of the minister's wlfo * tves the coming ball an unusual novelty for It Is vcrv unusual for Chinese women to take part in sochil events outside of tholrown countrv. Bui Mrs. Yin has given several evidences of reforming Celestial customs. Only live months aeo she gave birth to n daughter , which is the second Chinese oabv born in the Chinese diplomatic circles of this coun try. Owing to American curiosity , the care of" the babv has boon almost ns great as the care of a ball. When thn little Colestlan was first trundled about In Dupont circle in front of the Chinese legation , n mob of women and children made nn onslaught on the nurse , baby carriage and baby , until they were threatened with being crushed. The city , nnthoritlos had to detail u squad of police to * ! c ° ' 't thl ) Infant nboul the park , nnd ever l cti then four stalwart policemen guard the dailv rides of the llttlo ono. The ball will mark Mrs. Yin's reappearance from u long privnor , customary with Chir.eso women .iftor the birth of n child , and will also mark hcr lint mingling with the other ofllcial women of the capital. hoiiiitoi- Senator PotUgrow of South Dakota , who voted with Senators Plumb and Poddock Acnlnst the McKlnley bill , says ho will hero- nftcr bo found In a straight line with his party on nil tariff issues. Ho says : "I voted ntralnst the conference report on the McKinley - Kinloy bill because I bollevod that the re port , in falling to make certain concessions 'demanded by the psnplo of the Northwest had done us n wrong. I hoped that the conference report would bo defeated in order that in the reconsideration of the matter our claims would bo recognized. I am certainly a protectionist , nnd not as Homo suppose n low tariff advocate. " "Then the democrats are not altogether anfo in counting upon you lo vote for free wool , free binding twine nnd frco everything elsol'1 Justice Brewer npaln dissented from his associates in n rmlroad case which was decided the latter purl of this wenK. In announcing his dissenting opinion there was great earnestness shown by Justice Brewer , who Is familiar with the manner In which railroad compinloi In the west strike down cities in which they nro noi In a hiuilod wny interested for the purpose of building up tholr own towns to sell corner or Inside lota. Mr. Brewnr's volco rose hl h nbovo the din of the court room ns ho intimated In limnistnbnula language that the position ussu mod by the majority of the bench that n railroad company has the right to locate its own stations without regard to to the Inter ests of the public was neither justified by Vaw nor common decency. Ho said ho was vcrv familiar with the motives which prompted railroad companies In the west to tear down n thriving town iu order that il WiKbt build up another town upon its own ground. l.lncs of Distinction Obliterated. President Harrison dined with senator and Mrs. Dolph last week and thus pnvo further ttvldoncos of his purpose to break down lenntorial exclusion. His first dinner out ilnco the opening of the projont oniclalsoa- jon was thai with Senator McMillan of Michigan. These acceptances are in marked contrast with the custom that has been rig orously observed for many yoari. It was thought to bo essential to presidential dig nity that ho should not accept any Invitations p , beyond 111 o cublnot circle , ami sonio prosl- * \ Jont-s have oven refrained from going to the cabinet bousos. But Mr. Harrison gees to dinner parties just us uny pnviuu ciuiou would , although his innovation has not yet extended bovond the senatorial houses. Slnco ho has broken down the rule , however - over , the question bus arisen bow far ho can extend his democraticIdeas. . If ho dines with senators , ho should of "course bo open to Invitations from representatives , and If ho nccopt the hospitality of representatives , whv should ho not mingle with the ordinary American cltuon. And If ho accepts thu hospitality of the cltl/on , is ittn bo confined to the Invitations of the wealthy Mr. Vandor- bill or to the humble Mr. John Smith. Those questions navor have arisen under the rigid old rules which descended from George Wnshington , but now that thu rules are sol asida nnd thu president is going about , Itrr.uv bo expected that the hexd of the nation will wipe out all lines of distinction nnd will ba one of the people socially as well as officially. 'If they uro doing so. " was the senators reply , "thoy will got cola comfort from mo. " Senator Pottigrew Is being urged ns the representative of tha northwest on the appro priations committee , although ha has taken no steps himself In this direction. Ho be lieves , nx do a largo number of western sen ators , that the largo amount of power and responsibility now vested in the sonata com. nlttoo appropriations Is altogether out of proportion to the small numburof senators on the commlttoo. Personalty Senator Potti- grow Is in favor of the division of the appro priation bills among the several committees | j Is done in the house. I bollovo ho says thntcuch a change would ba conducive to economy nnd would certainly put the appro- prlitloii bills In tbo bauds of men thoroughlv jlted } to deal with them. n of thu Confer I.iinl Illll. Tha so-called Conger lard bill has roap- pturod. It excited much Interest in the V'ifty-llrst congress , haying boon reported f/om the house committee on iicrlcullura. It L.uscd the house owing to strong pressure Jrom the eastern opponents of the Chicago , Omaha and Kansas City packers , nnd then failed In the senate. Mr. Droslus of Pennsylvania has rolutro- -jlucod the bill In this congress. It was I : iiVtOMMtly referred by Speaker Pro Tom II uiinW iillau to the committee on ways nud I. yhoan against/ the protest of Mr. Broslus , | V XfvhQ wished It referred once moro to tbo r committee on nKrlculturo. As the bill is precisely similar to tno oleomargarine law , -which unpodos an Internal revenue tax on Mha product , the rdferonco to ways nnd means ia tha only proper ono. As a mutter of faot the tame bill was U t year reported from Senator Paddock's commlueo back to the senate with the recommendation that it bo referred as a revenue tacusuro to the senate committee on finance. Senator Paddock's general antl-adultcrn- tton bill , known us the nuro food bill , covers the ground of the Inrd bill nnd innddltlon the debasement ot food and debasement of food products , from which our agricultural communities suffer. It will bo probably taken up for consideration In his committee on Tuesday. Mlsccllnricmn. President Harrison tins not yet Indicated whom he will nppolnt to tha vacant brlga- dlorshlp. General Schollola is pushing Colonel Peter Swain. The Illinois delega tion uro urglntf Colonel ICilKcnu Carr , Sixth cavalry ot Forl iobrar.1 nnd Senator Proctor is using every cfforl to secure tha selection ot Colonel Otis , Twentieth In fantry. Colonels Carllno and Whcaton nro still on the ( 'round doing tholr best for recognition. General \Vhcuton Is endorsed by twenty-two United States senators and n seoro of the officers of the old nrmy. Senntor Mnnderson yesterday mndo n powerful effort In his behalf bctoro the secretary of war , ana .says thai his case Is made up and IIICKS nothing nf completion. The appointment will be Interesting as Indicating the policy which the president Intends lo pursue re garding the ranking colonels Hearing retire ment who oin bo piomotod before leaving the service if tbo cbiol executive so elects. The advancement of Colonel Otos would moan tbo retirement of Colonels Andrews , Carter , Swain , Wheaten and Carr ns coloncii , because nil leave the .service on ac count of ago before Colonel Oils , while several could bo made brigadier generals ana retire If given opportunity before Colonel Otis , who does not rotlro until 1UJ- , roaches tbo ( H year limit. The extension of the leave of absence granted First Lieutenant Augustus Mo _ Comb Fifth cavalry , Is still further extendo to January 15 , 189.3. Mrs. Mandorson's reception last week was very largely attended , and Is referred to In all of today's local panort. The wife of the senior senator from Nebraska is ono of the most popular and most sought nftor of the ladles of the senatorial circle , and her weekly receptions are always notable social wants. Mrs. Mnnderson was assisted in receiving this week by Miss Summers of Omaha , who Is a decided society fivonte In Washington , whcro she has a number of relatives , ana to whom she Is an annual visitor. Miss Nina Marshall of Omaha spent the holidays In Washington with Pennsylvania school frlouda , and left yesterday for her school. Senator Paddock has returned from Ne braska , whcro ho has been slnco Senator Plumb's funeral. Ho reports business pros pects "as greatly Improved In bis state , owing to the marketing of the crops. "Omaha , " said Senator PuddocK , "has suffered least from tbo general depression of anv of the largo western cities and is in splendid con dition to recoup Itself through the Increased prosperity of the stato. to which It Is trlbu- torv. " Both Senators Mundcrson and Paddock yesterday put in hard worlc with tbo senate committee on public buildings nnd giounds for Hastings and h.ivo re ceived assurances of nu airly re port on the bill. They pledge a foutth favorable report and passavo of the bill in thn senate , and will give every assist ance nnd cooperation to Mr. MoICoiulmn In tbo house. Both senators are fooling some what sere over what they consider the ungracious response made bv the Hastings papers to tholr hard and successful work in the senate of four years in behalf of a public buildine In that citv. They profess themselves , however , willing and anxious to once moro pull oil tholr coits In the face of a democratic congress nnd do their best , rogaraless of appreciation or applause.

SPRINGER SPEAKS ON SILVER Legislation Which He Thinks Necessary on the Question , CARLISLE EXPRESSES HIS OPINIONS , An Intrrnntlniiiil Conference on the Subject the Only Wuy to Settle It rile l/ito Admiral Itogfrx HumlHj' In WiiHlilngtoti. WASIIINOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 10. The slh'or question , as a legislative Issue , Is oaca moro awnkenluir the liveliest apprehensions of both political parties ut the national capital , and within the past few days thU topic tins been the subject of even moro discussion than has the tlmo honored ( sslio of tariff re form. Bui there Is suddenly being mani fested nmonir tbo democratic leudiirs n dis position to prevent the silver question rjach- ing thoalgnliy of a pirnmouutis9ua to the prejudlcs of tariff reform agitation , nnd it is nald that , prompt measures are to betaken taken to stamp the financial question as n secondary issue , sna If not to relcgato It to the future for solution. Hi least to prevent these fatal embarrassments that might re sult from hopelois party division upon the question. Representative William M. Springer of Illinois , Senator Carlisle of Kentucky , a member of the finance committee of the son ata ; Senator John Palmer of Illinois nnd Hoprcsontatlvo Joseph H. O'Neill ' of Massa chusetts , arc tha prominent democrats who are said to bollovo tno best solution of the silver question lies In nn International ngroo- ment , nnd who will therefore favor the bill now being prepared for the relegation of the question to an intcrnutiomil congress to ba hold in Chicago In 1803. Such disposition of the quoulon by this congress would , ot course , prevent the silver quostloa from becoming ono of the hurrasslng issues of the coining eimpalgii and enable tba fierce political battle of 18'JJ ' to ba foucht once moro upon the burning Issues of tariff reform. Stringer1 * Ideas oil the Qumtlon. "What course do you think should bo pursued by nho democratic party in thi congress with reference to the silver ques tion I" nn Associated press correspondent tonight inquired of Mr. Sponeor. ' The course which has berololoro been to the frco coinage of silver , " replied Mr. Springer , "is not a mailer of doubt I am a bl-motalllst and as such I cannot supporl any policy which would retogala sliver to Ihe rear or alimlnata it from political discussion. On the contrary 1 would make It n great in ternational question and settle it upon lines as broid as possible , and ntlhe orrllcsl time practicable. My experience , however , in matters of legislation teachoi me that the ob- joci which is mosldesirablecanncl always bo accomplished. But lhal which is , desirable and \\hlch nl the sumo time , may DO attained ought to be the aim of nil legislation. What then is attainable during this congress so far as silver is concerned I The house is demo cratic by n lanro majority. The sonata is at present republican It would bo next to im possible for both houses of this congress to agree upon a silver bill of nuv kind , bul even if an agreement should bo reached between the two houses for securing free coinage or niaklnz more liberal provisions in that direction , the president stand ? ready to interpose his veto. Hence no legislation upon this subject , how ever desirable it may be , can bn attained during this coneross. This is what I in tended to state in ID v remarks at the Jackson banquet in Now York Friday evening lust. It Is n mere question of faot , that U all. The situation carrloi up then to Mirch 4 , 1833 , uhon the proiont congress expires by limitation of law. The next congress , which will bo elected in November next , will not assemble In regular session until the first Monday in December - comber , IS'JJ. ' This is the earliest limn ut which it is p03siDlo to enter upon the consid eration of measures which may thereafter be enacted into law with reference to the coinage of silver. " Jlltcrmitlnmil Conference Desired. "Now , " continued Mr. Springer , "can any thing bo done in the meantime which would enable congress to roach n prouor conclusion on the silver quostlnn when the time arrives at which practicable legislation may be entered upon ) This , it seem to me , ia the practical question for thn con sideration of congress at this tlmo. congress could , with great propriety during this session , pass nn act. authorizing tbo as sembling of an international monetary congress which would have for Its object and whoso duty It would bo to formulate , subject to the approval of the countries sending rep resentatives thorato , a uniform monetary system and to fix the relations which gold and silver should bnar to each other and tno nomenclatures and values of all coins here after to bo issuod. In view of the fact that the Columbian ex position will bo hold in Chicago during the year 18U3 ana , therefore , prior to the assomb- ing of the flrst session of the next congrois , U seems mosl appropriate that this Interna tional congress should ba held in that oily during that tlmo. The congioss should bo n popular one. It should bo a congressnot a secret conference or commission as in the past , and should have a largo representation from this irovornmont and the governments with which yfo maintain diplomatic relations. its proceeds should no published the sumo as tha proceedings of congress , and representatives of the press should bo admitted to all its sessions. Ib would thus bocoma a great educational ngo'ioy for the enlightenment , not only for tha people of this country , bul of nil ether countries , In reference to the subject to be considered by 11. IScprc entutl\eM Hlionld IIo Appointed , Tha representatives on behalf of iho United Slates should bo appointed by tbo president of the sonata and the speaker of the house. At least , moru than four of them should bo members of tba same political party , and who should represent so fur as posslbla tbo present shades of opinion uuon thu comugo ofbllvor. Those appointed by the president of the sonata should bo members ot thu senate , and these by the speaker of tha house Miould ba members of the present hous-o of representatives. It mliht bo well also to authorize the secretary of state nnd the director of the mint , In ofllco nt Iho time , tenet net nlso as representatives from the United States. ' The president has baon authorized , In behalf - half of tno United States , to Invlto thu gov ernments with which wo maintain diplomatic relation to send representatives to this Inter national coneross ; and he should bo in structed to Inform such governments that the government of the United States earnestly desires to secure uniform systems of coinage and of weights and measures , to bo adopted thereafter by all commercial nations In order to facilitate , so far us poislblo , exchanges of commodities and to simplify monetary trans actions : that tha government doslios an international agreement as to the relations which should bo maintained bolwooii gold and silver , and that. In order to secure this and iho uniformity as to weights and measuios on earnest effort should bo made by the respective covnrninents of iho world. Tba president should ba further Instructed to call the attention of all covernmonts with whom wo maintain diplomatic relations td tha great advantage which would accrue by tbo adoption of such uniform systems , nnd that the government of the United State * wilt wait with deepest concern the delibera tions nnd tbo conclusions that may bo reached by an International congress with tuo earnest hone that tbolr efforts may bo crowned'wlth success.

"Tno democratic party , " concluded Mr. Springer , "Is n party of the people.

It Is of the ut most importance that when the nllvor question Is settled , II bo .settled rightlv.

Congressman Scott conducted a Job department iu connection with his newspaper , and Incidentally discovered that strongest competitor was Uncle Sam , who , conforming to mi act of congress old and timeworn , engages In printing what is known as "special request" envelopes , Those envelopes contain the customary return di rections , and In many cases form a neat little business card In the upper left hand corner of the envelope. The act which authorizes the printing of these envelopes prohibits the printing of a business advertisement , or anything more than is absolutely necessary for an adequate return notice. But of late years tun Post- office department 1ms been climbing over this barrier ana in roalitv putting business cards on those envelopes , us in the following ox- umulo : "Return to John Brown Drug Co. , Piedmont , Mo. " Now , it is hold to bo n violation of the act to print the card like the following : "Heturn to John Brown , Druggist , Piedmont , Mo. , " but by adopting the former plan and merging the business ana address Into the title of the linn the losal obstacle is over come. Undo Sain Is Unfair. Uncle Sam really engages In the business of turning out business onvolopjs in direct compsttllou with all the job printing oillces In the country. He is also an unfair com petitor , because ho prints thorn at the actual cost of putting out ordinary stamped envelopes , and while gaining no profit for the government robs the printer of his living profits. CongiossTian " . "lit w'ill introduce a hill in the house in a few days prohibiting tbo Post- ofllco department from piinlluz envelopes and engaging in business In competition with private tlrms. A similar bill \va s Introduced in the senate a few years ago at the instance of the typographical unions of the csuntry end was put to sleep In committee. "This proposition is buncomo , " said the thira asssstant postmaster general this morning. "Tho fai't is the liw was enacted solely toocuro the prompt return of mls- carrfod letters , and for no other nurposo , nnd by nutting out these envelopes for the same price wo do stampsd envelopes "we insure the moro general use of the return card and greatly facilitate the mail sorvica. The law whiehjiuithorizss tbo printing of those en velopes prohibits the department from charging moro than the actual cost of print ing and delivering them , so wo are then in no sense a competitor of tha job printers. In fact , there are only thirteen persons em ployed In the wo k.

Itis needless to add thit Congressman Owan Scott will oppo3U with might and main the project of I'oitmaster General VVanamaker for cheaper postage. The post master general believes that , the tune has net cam ? for penny poatago , but that u step in thai direction may bo taken bv furnishing stamped envelopes at the face value of the stamps , thus making the envelope ) free. This would give Uncle Sam a monopoly of the envelope trade. The stampos are made on the envelopes at the same time tha latter are mad * and the sacrifice to the government uould not bo groat. Juilgu llrowcr'H Vlcns. Justice Brewer of the United States court shartiB of the homely practical.Kansas views which have put the farmers alliance In pos session of that state , and have clevalod such men as Poffer nnd Simpson to congress. Justice Browcr U as much opposed to corporations , monopolies and trusts as tbo most , radical labor agitator. Ho is not-op posed to their having their full Joeal rights , but ha believes they have much moro than their rights , and are constantly don } ing the public thjfrjuit duos. In this respect Jus tice Drawer differs with most of his asso ciates on the supreme bench. During the last week he has given ovidenoe , during the hearing of two railroad cases , of his views that the law has been distorted until the rights of the railroads wore secured , but tha rights of the public were ignored. One ot the cases was an appeal of the Grand Trunk railroad from the verdict of f > , OOJ damage secured by the representatives of Elijah Smith , of Detroit. Smith was killed while driving along the Holdon road north of Detroit and the point where the Grand Trunk crosses the road. To show the supreme justices Just how the accident oc curred a large chart of the Northern Holdon road had been set up In the mldplo of tbo court room. The attorney for the railroad pointed out how Smith came along the road una drove on tuo tracxs without tuning tno usual precaution of looking out for an approaching preaching train. Protection fur tlin Public. "This was contributory negligence , " said the attorney , " ( or Smith ought to have halted before ho reached the tracks to BOO that no train was approaching from behind the obstruction of trees nnd bushcs.it This lack of vlgllauco seemed to impress the jus tices , with the oxccdtlon of Brewer , who was not impressed at all. "On your own statement , " interrupted Justice Brewer , "is it not clear that the ob structions to the view at the point where tba rouil crosses the tracks makes it all the moro obligatory upon the railroads to put u flag man at that point to protect human Ufa ) " This broka the argument right in tba middle nnd there had to be u pause for re pairs. The attoruoy explained , howevtT , that "that-was another branch of the case. " It certainly was another branch , but the In cident showed the drift of Justice Beowor's viuws or. the relations of the railroads to the public. , ITTi'T AT . ractorjr ( ili-ln lii St. l.omn Pro\mit the Kid- imping of u l.lttla Chilli.

There was only ono hoar.io In the town of Krobs. so that it was necossoiy to use every sort of vehicle to oouvoy the bodies to the cemetery. Ordinary lumber wagons were the greatest In number , and in some oases dumping carts from the mines were brought into requisition. The funeral1 ! took place at 10 o'clock this morning , thirty-seven bodies being placed under the ground. The graves of the Iden- tilled dead were marked by plain headstones of wood , with the names nnd ntos of the victims printed upon them. The unidenti fied were placed In graves by number.

The people of Texas , at least , many of them , think It would bo a great boon to them In my judgment both opinions are groundless. If wo persist In the agita tion of the question and demand it in our national convention wo will lose in our fall election all our eastern states and gain none intha , west.
