It Is now conceded on every hand that no
BtAtchood bill will become a Inw by the not
of this congress. Objections to the admls-
t slon of Utnh have probably defeated state-
i ho ) d for all the territories. Dcsplto the fact
I tti it President Harrison has grunted am-
I n t.v to the disfranchised ox-Mormons , the
Oontllcs arc almost ton man opposed state-
lui K ! They behove that the condition of
Mirnionlsm In L'lah has not readied n point
o toforin which would warrant statehood , as
all Jurisillctlon over the Mormon question
vould under state laws pass out of federal
hands mid bo relegated to the people.
Iv "ti though cotiRrrss should require cer
tain null Mormon provisions In the state con
stitution and even If It should confer upon
thu I'liltod States courts jurisdiction In
liolj-R.-unous cases , It Is urged by the loading
Gentiles that under the Jury system the
Mormons would defy the laws and again
practice tlulr polygamous forms of religion.
Gener.il Robertson of Indiana , a member
of the Utah commission , and Editor I/innaii
of the Salt I < al < o Tribune , who are now In
Washington , are bitterly opposed to state
hood. They point out that the best evidence
of the presence of Mormonlsm In Utah lied In
the fact that the delegate elected to con-
press last fall Is a leader In the church , and
that the Mormons control all the elective
oflices of Importance in the territory at pres
ent. They bcllovo that the only way to
cradlcatn Mormonlsm Is to lea"o alTatrs In
the hands of the federal government.

On account of the excitement In Wall
street today Secretary of the Treasury Fos
ter decided to remain at his post In the
Treasury department and abandon his In
tended Journey to the banquet of the Michi
gan club at Detroit. The depression of
stocks was attributed by treasury otllcials to
the crash In Heading and not in the general
financial .situation. Telegrams from Now
York and Philadelphia kept coming to Secretary -
rotary Foster all day Infor.ning him of every
fluctuation in the stock and bond market.
There Is no change In President Harrison's
opposition to an issue of bonds. Neverthe
less should necessity arise the Treasury de
partment is prepared to issue bonds on an
instant's notice.

Samuel C. Shelton of Springfield , S. D. ,
Jms been awarded the contract for making
the survey and furnishing the monuments
for the line between South Dakota and Ne
braska at $1)K ) ! . ' > . Mr. Shelton was the low
est bidder , but It is contended that he was
not the best bidder , as ho is not a practical
engineer , as required by law and the rules of
the department. The lowest ( | ualtlted- bid
der. It is stated , was Warren of Hot Springs ,
S. D. Senator Mandcrson and others uro
said to bo quite Indignant that the award
was mndn to Shelton.
It Is stated that when Secretary Noble di
rected the award to bo made to Shelton ho
noted In his letter of Instructions to the com
missioner of Indian affairs that the award
should bo made , notwithstanding the fact
that Shrlton Is not nn engineer. Subse
quently , when Senator Mandorson tele
graphed the secretary , asking whether
Shelton was a civil engineer , the answer
came back that the secretary did not know.
There promises to bo some lively Incidents
over theavrard.
" nv > To llnrmotilzu Silver Men.
Senator Carlisle Is making n final effort to
hahnonUo the conflicting view's of the silver
nnd anti-silver men. A ouiot caucus was
hold nt his house last night at which ropre
sontatlvcs of both wings of the financial
question wore present. The meeting was
looKcd u | > on as unusually significant in view
of the fact that Mr. Carlisle will soon bc-
conio secretary of tne treasury In Mr. Clove-
land's cabinet. Furthermore , ho had Just
come from Ltikewood , and it is understood
that ho voiced the views of the president-
'
I'Woet.
After half an hour had been consumed in
k fruitless discussion Mr. Carlisle reeognlzei
> tuut little scorned likely to bo accomplished
'i ' Ho therefore made n short speech to his
E guests which was emphatic as to the dcsira
F.bility of Immediate action. Ho urged thai
gcoui/ / ! compromise should be agreed upon urn'
through congress before March 4 ,
3 A Her Mr. Carlisle had spoken Uoprcsenta
Livingston of Georgia , heretofore
( [ counted among the silver men , brought for
f ward u compromise.
In substance it is a proposition to temper
[ arlly suspend the Sherman silver act. Dur
ing the suspension , however , the govorntnen
[ is tn continue coining the silver scignorag <
bullion now in the treasury , which amounts
1 to ubout f 10,000.000. This coining is to bo a
tin ? rate of about 1,000,000 a month , so tha
i coinage of the entire amount would cover
tuii next thirteen months. At the oxplra
i t'on ' of this tlmo the Fifty-third congress
ft would bo in a i > osition to daviso a permanent
.solution of the financial question.
\ Would Ho Aovoptubla.
, i As a compromise. It was felt that the
measure would bo accontablo to the silver
, wing , because It provided for the contlnu-
, anco of silver coinage at the rate of $3,000-
000 per month.
On the other hand It was believed that the
{ compromise would bo acceptable to the gold
Irving because It suspended thu Sherman act
lfora ; tlmo , at least. The compromise was
] 'put to a vote and rt'ccived ' the approval of
uvcry gentleman of the caucus , with the ox-
cption of one extreme southern silver mem
ber , Senator Carlisle was then delegated to
Iraft a bill In conformity with the plan thus
'outlined. '
Mr. island , representing the silver ex
tremists , said today that ho would oppose
this compromise to the bitter end nnd would
lllllmster , If necessary , to defeat It. It is
, significant , however , that n number of the
men who have heretofore voted with Ulrmd ,
were present at the Carlisle residence last
night and voted aOlrmutlvely on the com
promise.

There is n peculiar tangle over the confir
mation of Judge Jackson. The public has
learned that Judge Jackson's apMntmont
to the supreme bench has been confirmed by
the senate. But President Harrison
lias not yet bcon "officially" In
formed of the continuation , When the
nomination came tiuforo the scnato last Sat-
WT/urday Senator H'irrls of Tennessee asked
f/ that the notice of the confirmation bo with
held from the president for the -present.
The purpose of Mr. Harris was evident ,
lie know that If "ofllolal11 information of
Judge Jackson's confirmation did not
reach President Harrison the latter
could not uamo a republican
successor to Jackson. It Is a standing rule
of executive session that ono senator has the
right to delay official notification for a
dellnlto length of tlmo. President Harrison
risen has not received "ofllciiil" notice
of confirmation and until ho does.
receive it ho Is prevented from
naming Judge Jackson's successor. Ho had
till the papers of various candidates before
him today , but ho was unable to act until ho
had heard from the scnato "officially. "
Judge Jackson Is expected to nrrivo hero
tonight anil to resign just us soon as ho Is
"officially" notified that his nomination to
the supreme court has been confirmed ,

During the consideration of the sundry

the amendment appropriating SM.OOO for the
opographical survey of North and South
lakota , Nebraska and Kansas was reached.
\ strong effort was made to reduce the
amount to .ftO.OOO. but through the efforts of
Senators Paddock nnd .Mandcrson this was
lufeated and thu amendment passed at 00-
000. This survey is intended to inaugurate
the Irrigation survey for the states named

Hon. J. Sterling Morton , the newly selected
secretary of agriculture , is expected at the

There Is a good deal of doubt nnd uncer
tainty in the minds of some of the best law
yers in the house as to the right of the gov
ernor of Wyoming to appoint a United

opinion is that the governor may make an
iippolntment until the legislature again
iieets. O.ites of Alabama sajs It would de-
.lend on the constitution and statutes of the

inclined to think the governor can make a

The value of the gold product from the
nines of the United States was approxi
mately fcta.OOO.OOO , ubout corresponding to
the average product of recent years.
The product of silver from our own mines
is approximated at 50,000,000 ounces , having
a commercial value nt the avor.igo prlco of
silver during the year of $50,7. > 0,000 , and of
the coinage value In silver dollars of ? T4.-
OS'J.DOO. This is u falling off of 330,000
ounces from the product of the preceding

i94,291 ! , mi average of 87 } < cents per fine
ounce. From this silver 6,333,215 silver dollars
lars were coined during the year.
The imports of gold aggregated $13,103-
000 , and the exports $70,735M , a not loss of
gold of ? . > 3,570r > 33. The silver imports ag
gregated $31,450,003 and the exports * 37.r 41-
l. an excess of silver exports of 50IWO,333.
The director reviews the recent move
ments of gold from the United States , com
mencing May. 1SSS. During the last year ,
that is from February HI , 189. ! , when the last

Silver Men nnd Populists Combine Wash

WASIIISOTO.V , D. C , , Feb. 20. The Star
says : There has been formed a combination
In the house to fight the sundry civil bill
which threatens the defeat of that measure
and the necessity of an extra session of con
gress. The opposition Is on account of the
Sherman amendment providing for the issue
ot 3 per cent bonds. It Is regarded as almost
certain that if the amendment is coucon-
curred in and the bill is sent to conference
the amendment will be restored in confer
ence and will oo kept in the bill. Therefore
the alliance members and a number of ultra
silver men have decided to filibuster against
the bill to keen It from conference , unless au
agreement Is reached that under no circum
stances will the house confercoes accept
tno amendment. Such an agreement would
bo against the interests of the free coinage
men and is not apt to bo reached. It is the
purpose to kill tha Sherman amendment , to
lilllbuster until the 4th of March and not
allow the sundry civil bill to pass nt all.
Postmaster General Wanauukor says
that the popularity of the Columbian ix > stage -

in January of this year the amount was $2-
254,470 of which $1,703,000 were from the
Columbian series. The people from their
own choice have bought three of the now to
one of the old stamps and the total Increase
of sales for the month was a fraction more

Full Text ol the Kill.
This Is the full text of the bill agreed
upon. It Is proposed as a substitute for the
Andrew-Gate bill :
"That the secretary of the treasury shall
set tipart so much of the silver bullionat the
coinage value thereof , purchased under the
act entitled 'An act directing the purchase
of silver bullion and the issue of treasury
notes thereon , and for other purposes , approved
14 Ib'.H ) ' bo ,
proved July , , as may necessary
including the silver dollars heretofore coined
under said net , to redeem all the outstand
ing United States treasury notes IsMicd in
payment for silver bullion so purchased ,
and shall retain the same in the
treasury to bo used for that purpose only ,
and ho shall cause the residue of the silver
bullion purchased under the aforesaid act to
DO coined at the rate of $3,000,000 per month ,
Into silver dollars of the weight of 412 > f
grains troy , of standard silver , as pro
vided in the act of January IS ,
lbU7 , on which shall bo the
dovlccs and subscriptions provided
by said act , which coins , together
with all silver dollars heretofore coined
under the provisions of said act of July 14 ,
IKK ) , shall bo a legal tender , at their nominal
value , for all debts and dues , public and pri
vate , except when otherwise expressly stip
ulated in the contract. The standard silver
dollar coined under this section shall bo
covered Into the treasury as a miscellaneous
receipt.
"Second Any holder of the coin author
ized by this act may deposit the same with
the treasurer of the United States or
any assistant treasurer in sums of not less
than $10 and receive therefor certificates In
denominations of $1 , $2 , $5 and $10 and mul
tiples of $10 , corresponding with thodcnomin-
ations of the United States notes and the coin
posited , or representing such certificates ,
which shall bo retained In the treasury for
there payment of same on demand. Such cer
tificates shall bo receivable for customs ,
taxes and all public dues and when so re
ceived may bo reissued.
"Third The secretary of the treasury is
hereby directed to suspend the purchase of
silver bullion , under the said act of July 14 ,
Ib'JO , until the residue of the silver bullion
belonging to the United States has been
coined as required by the first section of this
act. "
ItepnbUeann Will Oppose It.
The bill was shown to the republicans by
Mr. Tracy of New York , and they were
asked If they would support it. Nearly
all the republicans who voted with
the anti-silver men the last tlmo , Including
Mr. Keed , replied that they would not do so.
It therefore seems likely that the last attempt
to repeat the Sherman silver bullion pur
chase act cannot gain the votes necessary to
Its passage , as the free coinage democrats
say they will refuse to vote for It , and the
republican defection more than offsets the
democratic gain made as a result of the
conference.
One proposition , which found considerable
favor atho conference and in the house
among free coinage men , provided for the
coinage of the bullion now in the treasury
and the re-enactment of the Bland law , but
Williams of Massachusetts and' other gold
men refused absolutely to vote for any
measure providing for further sllvur pur
chases in any amount.

\V\sni.voTox , D. C. . Feb. CO. Senator Gor
man , In some remarks which ho made in the
senate today In opposition to appropriations
for public buildings , spoke of the serious and
alarming condition which confronted the
country and expressed the belief that only
the borders of the trouble had been touched ,
and said that extraordinary action would
have to bo taken bv the Treasury depart
ment , or else congress would have to re
assemble before next July , to meet the con
dltlon. Ills warning did not prevent the
senate from agreeing to all the amendments
Unit were offered , making appropriations for
Increasing the limit of cost of public build
ings.Tho
The only yea and nay vote that was taken
upon them showed all the republican sena
tors , except Mr. Sherman , In the afllrmative ,
and all the democrats except Mr , Vest in the
negative.
The sundry civil appropriation bill occu
pied the attention of the senate throughout
the day. When it came up Mr. Merrill
offered an amendment , making an appropria
tion for a public building in Vermont.
Mr. Mori-ill's amendment was agreed to.
Topogriiplila Suriey.
Mr. Wolcott moved to reduce the amend
ment for the topographic surveys from SJUO-
000 to $100,000 , nud advocated the adoption of
the amendment giving what ho called "tho
peculiar history of the geological survey. "
If any one examined the geological
map of the United States ho would
see that the "largest marking of sur
veys was in districts where congres
sional representatives made the most
fuss" In other words , the topographical
surveys had been distributed politically and
not geologically. The survey had already
expended over $7,000,000 , , and at the rate at
which the work had been carried on It would
take thirty-eight years to complete the
topography alone , and , as to the geological
part of the work , no man could figure out Its
completion within a century , nor Us cost
within anything ItkeSlOO.OOO.OOO. Ho referred
at much length to the neglect of geological
work in the parts of the country where It
would bo most bencllclal and important the
coal fields of Pennsylvania , the iron and cop
per Holds of Michigan and thu coal deposits
on the Pacific coast , and declared that the
work was entirely contr jlled by nolitics. Ho
criticised a'.so the publication of thu survey
ns being Irrelevant to geology nni mentioned
the case of ono of the chief geolo
gists ( Prof. Gilbert ) , whosQ-tiino since July
last had been given to an investigation
of the geology and physiology of the
moon. The senate , ho said , would be of a
different political complexion next session
and ho hoped It would ap ) > olnt un Investi
gating committee to probe the geological
survey and direct Us usefulness Into proper
channels. But meanwhile the senate might
afford to go slow and suspend a portion of
its vast appropriations for toiiographlu
work which was being simply duplicated.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Feb. 20. Chairman
Hatch of the agricultural committee an
nounces that he does not intend to wait any
ongcr on the rules committee for a special
order in behalf of the anti-option bill , and
that ho will call that measure up as soon as
business which It has already been agreed
should bo taken up. Is out of the w.iy. This
business consists of the postolllcc appropria
tion bill , consideration of which was begun
but not completed on Saturday , and the car
coupler bill which , according to notice , will
be called up tomorrow for a vote on concur
rence in the senate amendments.
Mr. Hatch expects these- measures to be
out of thu way by Wednesday. Ho then in
tends to move to go into committee of the
whole to consider revenue bills and wants all
friends of the anti-option bill to be on hand.
There is ono revenue bill , a small tariff
bill reported by the ways and means com
mittee , ahead of the untf-opton | bill , and his
program Is to sot It asidi bya majority vote
and then move to take'up the anti-option
bill.

Mr. Hatch evidently exacts n resort to
filibustering tactics on the part of the oppo

over whoso hcuci the snows of seventy win-

rood by to his homo near Wiihoo , stuffed
some money Into his hip pocket and boarded
an Omaha bound train , reaching hero tn
good shapo. Ho ran the gauntlet of sntdo
auction houses , hackmen and confidence
sharps until ho had reached the conclusion
that ho was about the smoothest man on
earth. Then It was that ho looked about for
other worlds to conquer and while
lie was making the search ho struck
he vicinity of Ninth street. Old Mr. Crandall
thought that he know allot the Ins and outs ,
so last Christmas eve. Instead of going to one
of the stores and buying n present for sumo
of his grandchildren , he went to Ninth street
and Capitol avenue , where ho made illicit
"ovotoaoinan of color , one Klllo States.
Ho was so captivated by her charms that heavers
avers ho was robbed of $11 and never
knew It until ho got out onto the street and
Into the night nlr of that bright Christmas
evening. When ho discovered the loss the
ilrst thing that he did was to squeal , which
rave him a case to prosecute.
Gay old Mr. Crandall openly declares that
hero Is no fool so gre.it as an old one , and at
ho same time he also declares that if ho
ever gets out of tills scrape never will ho
'ook at the awift side of city life.

II. D. Coleman was arrested by Detectives
Savage and Dempsey Saturday night as a
suspicious character. Coleman was sttp-
; > o.sod to bo another member of the Ilrudcn
gang of crooks as iio roomed with them at
Thirteenth and Dodge streets , and Incident
ally was employed as u capper at the "Turf"
ambling rooms. In his possession was
found nearly a quart of dice of various
.Izes and varieties , some of which had been
ilrllled out for loading. IJi also had a full
set of drills and other tools for "Hxing" the
dice and admitted that that was his busi-
> SS.
The four men arrested so far all came hero
from Denver recently , and It is supposed
that the police made it too warm for them
there , and that they struck Omaha hoping
to bo able to work a few tricks before the
local police got their eyes on them. They
underrated the Omaha police , however , and
all four are now in Jail with excellent
chances for doing time. Coleman was ar
raigned as a vagrant yesterday , and
Judge Berkn reserved his decision.

not prevent Miller from making capital out
of them as soon us ho was at liberty. Ho
succeeded in finding a man who knew him
and was aware of tne fact that ho hud
owned the horses but did not know that they
died. Miller had no diflleulty In inducing
tills man to give him $170 in exchange for u
mortgage on the horses , and decamped with
the money.

ceived the money us change and supposed It
was good. Dahlstrom owns a form , a wife
and eight children in S.umdcrs county.
