err , D. C. , March 24. Tta gal
leries were again packed when the silver de
bate was resumed and there was a very full
attcndancn on the part of members. Mr.
Bland announced thtt ho would postpone the
motion lor the previous question till 5 o'clock
to glvo an opportunity for greater debate.
Mr. Williams of Illinois , democratic
member of the coinage committee , opened
tao debate m favor of the Dill , concluding
his speech by warning the republicans taat
the democrats might ba now somewhat di
vided upon thu silver question , but they
would be unitad In November on the great
Issue of tariff reform.
Representative Cockran followed Williams.
Cuminings of New i'ork and Dinglcy of
Maine also spoke in opposition to the bill.
Mr. Buna of North Carolina was In favor
ot tha bill as beln ? a response ta the de
mands of the people.
Mr. Loud of California said tbo flrst and
most potent reason why ho should vote
against the bill was that In the republican
party platform there was ingrafted u plantt
against free coinage. If he looked further
be would nnd , in the laws of his state , in the
obligations of almost every county , and in all
notes and contracts maoo provisos ingrafted
in them making them payable in goid. To
assume that the people ot California were In
favor of tne free coinage or silver would be
to assert that they were a living lie. Ho
( Mr. Loudi could remember ivhun , as a TJC-
choiiic , he had to take bis $100 a montu in
silver and exchange < t at u loss of U before
paying his outcncr and bluer.
Mr. Hartlne' * Pleu for Mirer.
Representative Burtlue of Nevada , tha
leader of the republican free coinage men ,
madaanable and comprehensive speech in
which he reviewed the ttscal policy of this
country and Europe on the silver question
cu i Ing the past century , showing the bene
fits to bu derived from free coinage , and
combattcd tba arguments mace against it.
He saM that in his Judgment tne stiver ques
tion was the most vitafly Important question
confronting the American people today. Its
ullimato decision would bear for good or ill
upon the Industrial fortunes , and toclal wel
fare of the enure human family. It was not
to be settled by sneering at it as tbo silver
croze , 70-cent sliver dollar and denunciations
of the silver minors. It might safelv oe ad
mitted that the silver producing regions in
domandinc free coinage were looking out for
their own interests. Every nation or state
favored that economic policy which ap
peared the most likely'to promote its
prosperity. The ruling classes in tne eastern
cities , whoso wealth had occn piled moun
tain high by special legislation , were swell
ing Into a while heat of Indignation at the
thought that the silver miners would real
ize an enhanced price through free coinage
and were denouncing them all as silver
kings. If they wcra out west they would
travel far thousands of miles without seeing
a silver king. They would tind the country
full of men grown old in the vain search for
the wealth that never came. 'Ihe only men
in Nevada ever called by the nama of money
kings were engaged In producing more gold
than silver , and the famous Bonanza mines
were actually producing more cold than sti
ver. It was these famous miners who had
furnished the country over . * WJ.OOO,000 ) in
coin with which to pay tha national debt and
the balance of trade.-
F.triuurs Iliive Much , at Stake.
Mr. Bartino controverted tha argument
that commodities worn cheaper because of
the largely increased production compared
with the incre-uc In population and the argu
ment that if the demonetization in l bl ! > vere
\ / wrong , equities had arisen which demanded
thut creditors sbculd not 03 paid in a de
preciated money.
Mr Bartine devoted a very interesting
part of his speech to the proposition that the
larmer bos mora at sUilie in this question
than the silver miner. Tne great bulk of
wheat the American farmer sells in the
European market is sold in competition with
silver using countries and upon asilver basis.
It is perfectly plain , ho said , that the East
Indian producer baa an advantage over the
American producer m the English market.
There both must sell at the same price. The
East Indian takes bis silver hone , where it is
Just as good and effective as gold. But if the
American farmer bnngs bis money here be
'
loses 3D cent * in converting it 'into our
itandard coin.
In conclusion Mr. Birtina said the frea
coinage men should not ba turned from their
course by denunciations. Ha did uot pretend
tend to believe that everything abnormal In
tbo social and industrial conditions of the
aay had resulted from silver's demonetiza
tion. Neither did be claim that its demone
tization would convert the American conti
nent into a terrestrial paradise and 111 ! the
lana with European bliss. Bat he did be
lieve that iu general result would ba all In
the line of beneficence , that it would give
thu producer a butter return for his labor ,
encourage enterprise and lead to a more even
distribution of wealth.
r. llateh Few Wurils.
Mr. Hatch of Missouri believed that this
question was a national one and therefore ol
necessity u party one. It was utterly Im
possible for the democratic partv to ignore
Its pa4t history , its promises to the people
on the subject. No amount of sophistry , no
selfish or sectional appeal could draw 'from
this question the pledges tnaJa Oy the
democratic party In twcnty-oight states.
xvhcn that parly declared that silver woulu
ba restored to the place It occupied in IsTtf ,
when it was demonetized , not by tha demo
crat ! u party , not by democratic votes , but by
a republican congress. Ho was In hearty
acconi with the position taken by his atato
on this question since LsTU , Every man who
beld bu seat here by the votes of tba Mis
souri democracy , caino here pleased by the
action of thu last democratic ) convention to
support the bill for the free and unlimited
coinairt of silver. Tbo gentleman from
Massachusetts i U'lUiamsj ha-i attempted to
read him out of tha democratic party.
( Laughter ! The gentleman with an egotism
ho had never beard equalled In this bouse ,
bad declared substantial ! ? that only thosu
who agreed with him on tha question were
democrats.
Wnv , ay dear friend , " ejaculated Mr.
Hatch , "you hava not learned 'no flrit lesson

democratic principles and the democratic
parly than yo i know what is going on ia the

The first duty of a democrat is to abide by

Mr. E. B. Taylor of Ohio said he had no
doubt the gentleman from Missouri ( Mr.
Hateti ) believed and would tell his people the
inlleries were tilled with people paid to sit
oat the debate by the money classes.
fLanehwr.J He was surprised , however , to
see that gentleman stand here and say tha
repeal of the law of 173 was the greatest in
famy nf this century and that it was done by
the republican part'v , by a republican con-
grass and a republican president , and yet the

Sir. Castle's Objections.
Mr. Castle ot Minnesota denied tha right
of any democrat on the floor of the housa to
pronounce a policy for the party in advance
of the party platforms. Tuey could speak
for their own states , but ha objected to their
speaking for his state or for the party , when
it had never pronounced on itHo repre
sented people who had been democrats in
and out of season. His people wcra opposed
to this bill because they proposed to make
fiat money pure and simple. [ Applause. ]
Representative English , a New Jersey
democrat , opposed tnu bill , and E. R. Taylor
of Illinois was recognized and sent uo to the
clerk's desk and had read a proposed substi
tute measure intended to ridicule tha pend
ing bill. It proposed at the request ot anyone
ono who owed more than ho could pay , and
had the request certified by two of his cred
itors who wanted their pay , should have for
warded to him immediately by the treasurer
enough money to pav his Indebtedness. Ha
took Issue w Ith the < o who represented thu
farmers ot tno state as bound down PV
mortgages , no could state from a personal
knowledge that thera never was a time when
fewer loans were mide.
Itlaho Wants Pree Coinage.
Mr. Sweet of Idaho announced himself in
favor of free coinage. Last tear everv dollar
lar In the western countrv was loaned upon
any sort of security , even If you had the fav
orite money of the gold men , unlimited confi
dence. That ve.ir the covcr-imcnt of the
Called States had made out of 'ha ' silver
producers SI.000,000. It was unfair for the
covernmert in a business spe.rtiliit.o3 to mane
$1,000,000 a year out of the people and compel
them to pay om-half of 1 per ieit interast a
'
month whe'n It came back to thera.
Mr. Patterson of Tennessee said he should
support the bill , but dissented from the re
marks ot Air. Hatch to read men out of the
party. He recojnized the democratic move
ment in New Enrlund as the harbinger of
victory in the next campaign. [ Applause. ]
He desired to sav that when the Chicago
convention met the great question wnich
would be put to the American people would
be tint of unjust , unequal , unconstitutional ,
oppressive taxation. i Renewed applause. ]
"Mr. Smith of Illinois deprecated the con
sideration of the measure from a party
standpoint. We bad an era of prosperity
satisfactory to the peocla. Ho had voted
against the bilL It was now one minute to . " >
nni Mr. Butler of Iowa beinc recognized ,
closed tbo debate by saying that when the
act of 1S7U bad brought the farmers of the
country into a condition of suffering lha gen
"
tleman" from Illinois ( Mr. Tavlor ; a million
aire , arose and with a comical subslitute for
the bill , added insult to insult to injury and
mocked the farmers in their suffering.
Moved the Previous Question.
As Butler sat down Mr. Bland , the per
sistent advocate of the bill , was recognized
by the speaker and in a quiet lone of voice ,
demanded the previous question on the pend
ing bill.
Mr. Burrows , like half the members of the
bouse , was oa his feet , but he was there not
from annety but as bis party's spokesman.
The chair recognized him and Mr. Burrows
moved to lay the pendiaj oill on the table ,
and said tbat motion took precedence of tba
motion of the gentleman ircm Missouri ( Mr.
Bland i and demanded tha yeas ana nays on
his motion.
The chair decided in favor of Mr. Burrows
and then , amid intense excitement , the cleric
beirun to call the roll on Mr. Burrows' mo
tion which brought the question to a square
test vote. Excitement became intense as tba
call progressed and members plainly showed
it in the restless manner with which they
moved about and crowded to the space in
front of the speaker's desk.
At the conclusion of the roll call the ex
citement had risen to fever heat. At first a
rumor spread that the motion had been ear
ned by three votes and that tne Bland bill
was tabled. In another moment a member
in thu rear of Ihe house started to shout , but
quickly checkea himself as a doubt overcame
him.
Ill Anxious Hxpectazicy ,
Information clven out thai ; the vote stoo i
yens 14S , nars 147 excited every member and
ihe aisles were thronged as tha clerk pro
ceeded to recapitutalo ice vole. Thu tension
to rchien the members were subjeced : bad
the effect of reducing them to a state of coin
paranvo quiet , although anxiety was shown
on every countenance.
Tlio recapitulation being completed , the
speaker rose from cis chair to announce the
result , but before doing so directed the clerk
to call his name. The clerlr called "Mr.
Crisp of Georgia , " and "Mr. Crisp of.
Geonria , " availing himself of his right as a
representative , cast bis vote in the negative
amid the deafening applause of the advocates
of the measure.
Mr. Bland of Missouri , nol aware that this
vote saved bis measure from Immediate an
nihilation , changed his vote from tba nega
tive ta the aftirmativo in order that he might
have an opportunity to move a reconsidera
tion , but being advUed in a moment lhat the
motion was defeated bv a lie vote again
changed to tha negative. In tha meantime
thu members had clustered in the space m
front of tba speaker's desk and many of ttiera
propounded questions as to the sida upon
which they weio recorded. In each case tha
reply was a satisfactory one anrt no cbanga
was made in tba result.
As to inquiries as to the manner in which
they had been recorded were being answered
Mr. Enloe or Tennessee , with bis hat on ,
hastily strode into ths house and said he de
sired to have hu vote recorded.
Tha Speaker Was the gentleman in the
house during tno roll call and failed to hear
his name celled !
Mr. Ealou was compelled to respond in the
negative.
To Late to Vote.
The speaker was iccxcrable and sold the
gentleman cnuld not vote. Mr. Enloe yield
ing to this announcement said ha had just
ccmu in from an Investigating committee
-Mr. Herbert of Alabama next asked the
same privilege of being recorded and replied
in tha aJHnnatlva to lhat part of tba inquiry
ns to whether or not he was in tno hall of tbo
bouse during the vou ? , but when the speaker
u second time inquired If tha gentleman
failed ta tear h s nama called , Mr. Herbert
was fain to reply "I could not say that , " anu
accordingly the speaker refused to permit

SALISBURY'S LAST LETTER
Fall Text of the English Premier's Note
Submitted to the Senate.
PRESIDENT HARRISON'S ANSWER TO IT
Complete Statement or the noriniScii DU-
pate n It Present Statnn
rropoiltlua and America's
rronint Heply.
W isnn'CTOS , D. C. , March 21. At the con
clusion of th.3 executive session ot the senate ,
which lasted four hours , the correspondence
received yesterday from tne president ,
relative to Baring sea , was ma3e public. It
comprises two communications 03 follows :
-IrJull.in Pauncefote to Jlr. AVliarton.
Bnm n LCGITIOX , Wvsntsr.Tos , D , C. ,
March 19 , l 0i Sir : On receipt of your
note of the * tb tnst. 1 immediately tale-
uraphed to marquis of SillsbJry the sub
stance of Its contents In accordance with the
request which you expressed on behalf of tao
"
president and" I have the honor to in
form you that 1 have received this day a ru-
plv from his lordship by telegram to the fol
io winir effect :
Lord Salisbury acaln points out that tha
information In the possession of her majesty's
government docs uot lead them to believe
that another yeur's suspension of the scaling
is necessary Co prevent an undue diminution
of the seal herds. His lordship , however ,
proceeds to observe that beyond this ques
tion it ia considered by y our poverament that
they have a right to be protected from the
loss which they may incur from free seollni ;
celns permitted this year , even If their claim
ta Barlnir sea ba upheld by tha aroitratorj.
Ho states that her majesty's goverumeutaoes
not disrute that after the ratification of tha
convention tbero will bo some foundation for
this contention. But ho adds that the pro
hibition of all sealing as a rumedy has this
defect : That the British sealers , excluded
from Benn ? sea , would have an undoubted
ground for complaint if the British claims
should ba upneld by the arbitrators.
Moreover , there is no security that
the arbitration will bo concluded before tse
sealing season of Is'J ; } . Thus an arbitration
between Great Britain , the United States
and Portucal , which has already occupied
four years , is still pending. Senous dam-
asos would be caused to the Industry bv a
suspension of scaiinz for a ion ? period. In
view of all the above considerations , it ap
pears to her majesty's coverament that it
would bo more equitable to provide that seal
ing shall continue an the condition that the
owner of every sealing vessel shall jrive se
curity for satisfying any damages waich the
arbitrators may adjudge. I shall bo glad to
learn that the above suggestions meet with
the concurrence of your "government. I have
the honor , etc. , JCLLIX PAUXLEFOTE.
Mr. A\ hart on to Sir Julian PiiunceTute.
DEPARTMENT OF STVT2 , WASHINGTON , D. C. ,
March ± i , lt ! . Sir : I am directed by the
president to say that your now dated the
19th and received the 'JOth has hau his imme
diate attention , in view of what lie deems to
be the sstreme urgency and gravity of thi
matter under discussion. The urgency
grows out of the fact that much furtner pro
traction ot this discussion will make anv
modus that may bo agreed upon ine-Jertuul
to protect the interast of th& United Slates ,
and will gl\"e to tha Canadian seniors practi
cal immunity bv reason of the Impossibility
of communicating to them tha agreed restric
tions.
It is kno.vn to this government that the
sealers have hastened their departure to es-
capa notice ot a possible modus and that
every duy almost adds to the fleet that must
"
now"be overhauled at sea. Already forty-
seven Canadian vessels nave cleared for tha
muling grounds as against thirty-one at the
same date last year , and are enraged in fol
lowing up and destroying tta seal herds.
Those vessels will , if not stopped and turned
back at the passes , go into the Bering sea
and pursue to the very shores of our islands
tha slaughter of the mother seals seeking the
rookeries to ba delivered of their young.
This is crima asrainst nature. This govern
ment expects to show , if the aroitration pro
ceeds , that female seals constitute the larger
part of the catch of the pelagic sealers.
g uuil DLsitppuintlng.
That in view of this serious contention of
this government his lords-hip should assume
that another year's suspension of such seal-
insis not necessary to prevent an undue
diminution ot the seal herds and should in
sist that pending an arbitration it shall so
on , precisely as if no arbitration had been
ncreed upon , is as surprising as it is disap
pointing. If her majesty's government so
little respects the claims and contentions of
this government as to be unwilling- for
bear for a single season to disregard them ,
the president cannot understand why Lord
balisbury should have proposed and ajreed
to give to those claims the dignity and stand
ing which a reference to a high court of ar
bitration implies. From the moment an ar
bitration was agreed upon , neither party
was at liberty to'disregard the contentions
of the other. It must bo assumed that since
the purpose of the two governments was to
promote peace and good will , but if pending
the arbitration either deals with the subjert
of it solelv on the Da ? Is of its
own contention , and In utter disregard of
tne claims of the other , this friendly end is
not only not attained , but a new seuso of In
jury and Injnstico is added , even if it should
oe found possible to proceed with an arbi
tration under such conditions. r'or it must
not be forgotten thar , if her majesty's gov
ernment proceeds during this seaiinir season
upin tne basis ot Its contention as to the
ngnts of the Canadians sealers , no choice Is
lelt 'o this govcrment but to proceed on tha
basis of its confident contention that pelagic
sealing In the Bering sea is an infraction of
Its jurisdiction and property rights. His
iordahlp will hardly fail to bee this. Herein.
in tbo oninion of tbo president , consists the
firavitvof the present situation , and ha Is
not willing to to found in any degree re
sponsible for the results that may follow the
insistence bv either government during this
seoiou upon the extreme rights claimed by
it.
la a Ouefttlon of Honor.
In bis opinion it would discredit in tha
eyes of the world thu two great governments
Involved if the paltry procts of a single sea
son should be allowed to thwart or even to
disturb toe honorable and friendly adjust
ment of their differences , which is so nearly
cooclnded , but If bis lords nip shall adhere to
his refosai to unite with us 1n a prompt and
effective measure to stop pelagic sealing and
snail Snsist upon free sealing for British sub
jects , the question , as it affects this govern
ment ia no longer o-a of pf CUT a-y less or
gam , but bue of toner ana sell-respect.
This government , notwithstanding tha lact
that its right to take teals on tha Pnbyloff
islands Is undisputed , and "wholly uninvolved
in the aroitration , has proposed to taae no
prorttfrora the island catch , but limit tha
taking of seals to the nacss&itics of tnu na
tives of the islands , and it cannot consent ,
with Indemnity cr wvhout , that the con
tested rights of British subjects to catch
senu iu the Bering sea shall Da exercised
pending tha arbitration.
The president flnds it difiicult to believe
that Lord Salisbury is seruiui in propo&mg
that this government shall take separata
bonds from the owners of aoout 100 Canadian
scaling vessels to indemnify it for the injury
they may severally iniiictupon our } urisiiio
tloa or property , anu must decline to discuss
a suggestion which cnlv hU respect for Lord
Salisbury and bis belief that his lordship nas
a aue appreciation of the gravity of this dis
cussion , eaabla him to treat with serious-
puss. vfe should doubtless have to pursue
and capture upon the sea many of the owners
of those vessels to secure the bond ] suggested
and as the condition is to ba that the obli
ges "shall pay any damage * which the aroi-
trators may adjudge , " while tha treaty gives
the arbitrators no power to adjudge any U ; m-
ages , that transaction would be witnout nan
to the obhgers and ot no vaiua to us. T. U
government car-not c a.cnt tihave what it
beiieves to bars rght a troved or Impair d
pending tiiur deverin nation by aa ogre d
tribunal , however adequate ) tha security
offered. ;
Sallsbnrr.
The reference In my last note to the Incon
sistency of Her maftlstv a government In
denying responsibility } for tna acts of the
Canadian sealers was sot intended to sug
gest a willingness on our part nndcr any cir
cumstances to > see our Draperty converted.
into a claim for damages , and particularly as
such a claim cannot now ba henni or deter
mined by tha arbitrators without a reforma
tion of tha treaty , for his lordship must re
member that while he now offers what he
mistakenlr calU "security for satisfying any
damages which the arbitrators may
adjudge. " he has already carried tlis point in
the treaty that Ihu arbitrators shall have no
Jurisdiction to award any damage * .
As to his lordship's sumrostion that Cana
dian sealers mav nave some claim for com
pensation. if Great Britain shall restrain
pelagic scaling- , the president directs mo to
s.iy that he is not nbto to see how the citizens
or subjects or either of the treaty powers
can by anv rule of Uw or equity support any
cuiim against ttieir respective governments
growing out of such , necessary trade re
straints as the government may lawfully
impose to promote the larger conditions of
the public good and International peace.
The suggestion that the conclusions of the
board of arbitration may not be reached and
announced in time to govern the conduct of
the parties during the season of 1S93 Li , the
president thinks , fully provided against by
the treaty itself.
m.iile a Strange Mistake.
His lordship -mistaken us to the tine
that has elapsed since the signing of the
Delaifoa bay agreement with Portugal. It is
not four years old , but less than one , the date
ot signing being Juno 13 , IS'.ll. If the
present treaty is promptly ratified and ex
changed our mutual interests would ho an
absolute guaranty against delav. The presi
dent has foun 1 no obstacle In the way ot such
n consummation , except the belief now un
fortunately prevalent here that the refusal
ot Great Britain to agree to the preservation
of the status quo < j ! tan property during the
arbitration , and her insistence that pelagic
scaling shall go on to tha injnry , if not
destruction , of our rights , largely defeats
the object of the treaty.
Will Protect Our lUclitn.
The president directs me to say. In con
clusion , that the modus of last rear is the
least that the government can accept. la
reason , the restraints , after a treaty ol arbi
tration should b3 mora Absolute , not less. He
does rotdeslra to protract this discussion.
and having now in the most friendly spirit
submitted the considerations which support
the just demand of this government that the
property which Is the subject of au agreed
arbitration shall not be subject to a spoliation
pending the arbitration , ho expresses the
hope that Lord Salisbury will give a prompt
and friendly assent tojrenew the modus. The
president will hear i-ivith regret that her
majesty's government. * continues to assert a
right to deal with thla subject precisely as if
no provision bad beercmode for a settlement
to the dispute ; and in 'this event this eovern-
ment , as has already been pointed out , will
be compelled to deal tftth the subject on the
same basis , and to rise every means tn its
power to protect Jromidcstruction or serious
injurv property and junsdictional rights
which it bas long claimed and enjoyed. I
have the honor , ate.

HiSTixas , Neb. , March 24. [ Special Tele-
cram to Tits Bail. ] The Jury empaneled to
hear the testimony in the trial of Captain
Aaron D. Yocum for tna killing of Myron
Van Fleet , after bung out for twenty-one
hours , returned at 2:13 : this afternoon with a
verdict , finding the defendant gu'lty of man
slaughter.
The court room contained 150 pcrs9ns , in
cluding a number of ladles who had been
walling for some time to hear the verdict.
General A. H. Bowen , counsel for the de
fense , asked that tha jury be polled. Each
Juryman answered that this was his verdict
and the twelve men were discharged. Gen
eral C. J. DUworth gave notice for the dc-
tcnso that a motion for a new trial would bo
filed tomorrow morning.
As Foreman George W. Stover arosa with
the verdict and handed It to Judge Beall the
interest was intense. Captain Yooum faced
around , smiled sonwwhat and then recovered
the military stolidity which has been so
characteristic of him during the trial. For
a moment the eyes of his daughter Alice and
his wife were filled with tears but only for a
moment.
Tbo verdict surprises no one. Since the
jury went to their room to deliberate rumors
of all sorts as to the result have been preva
lent and It was generally agreed that a com
promise verdict would be rendered.
The case against Jeff Teenier for aiding
and abettine in the muriior will not ba tried
this term of court as Judge Beall leaves for
Pnelps countv on Monday. It would sur
prise no one if tne case should be dismissed.

Telegram to THE BEE. ] The hearing of the
criminal libel case against Drs. Bcchtol and
and Butler was resumed today in Judge
Canfleld's court with a good attendance of
nhysiciaa * from other parts of the county.
This case originated in an attempt on the
part of Dr. Butlnr of Harvard to prevent Dr.
H. O. Conaway trompract ciigin that town ,
claiming that he had no curtulc.itc from the
state board of Ue.ilth. and the publication nf
a letter from Dr. Bechtol as president of the
board to that effect together with some very
uncomplimentary remarks. The defendants
are being tried separately , ad bv a shrewd
turn oa tha part of the attorneys for the de
fense , Dr. Bechtol's case comes first , irivtac
them a decided advantage , Dn Butler being
in possession of the most important evidence
and refusing to answer under the rule tnat
he would be prejudicing his own case.
The prosecution rested its case at 6 o'cloctt
this evening after a airi struggle to estab
lish the fact of the writing of the letter bv
Dr. Beghtol. The defense commenced by
introducing a largo mass of correspondence
between Dr. Conaway and the state board of
health showing the refusal of that body to
grant a certificate , and with the evident : in
tention of Justifying the charges made by
Dr. BeghtoL A hot blooded discussion with
occasional personal reniarBs br'the-atLui 'Ji'y *
followed as. to the advisability of such ev.-
dence , and court adjourned for supper with
very little prospects of finishing tonight.
