WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. ( Special T6lo-
' /rnm. ) Representative Mpgulre , before the
JioUjo ccmmltteo or. Pacific roads today , ad
vocated the Rile of both the Union and Cen
tral Pacific properties , fixing a minimum
prleo to be paid for the government Interest ,
the government to operate both roads through
receivers or a commiBUon created by con
gress , until such time as the minimum bid
could be realized. He objected most stren
uously to any funding bill , nnd thought a
gross snim would permit Collls P. Huntington -
ton , against whom he said many hard things ,
to conic Into the property. He admitted thai
under the minimum prlco Huntlngton could
come In and still continue squeezing Cal
ifornia , aa ho Is doing now' , nnd thought It
Huntlngton could lie restricted from bidding
on the ground that only the * > T < nown to have
paid their debts were recognized as bidders , H
would bo n godsend for all concerned.
When asked how much he would consider a
fair lump sum for both properties , he said
that the Pattlson Investigation report statt-tl ,
when It was published , that an offer of
$07,000,000 had been made for the Central
Pacific and about $30,000,000 for the Union
Pacific. Beyond this he refused to commit
himself.
At the suggcitlon of Representative Arnold
of Ponnsylvanja Chairman Powers will ap
point a. subcommittee of lawyers to tcport
on the priority of the lien ot the government
as being essahtlal to comprehensive legisla
tion.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. Edwin F. Uhl of
Michigan , first assistant secretary of state ,
will probably bo the next ambassador of the
United States to Germany.
Mr. Uhl was at the whlto house lost even-
Ing. Just before he called the president had
a conference with Don M. Dickinson of Do-
trolt , a warm personal friend of Mr. Uhl.
Mr. Dickinson went from the whlto house
to the State department , where he had a
conference with Secretary Olnoy. Mr. Uhl
nt the tlmo of Secretary Qresham's death
was seriously considered as his successor as
ficcrotary of Kate. Mr. Uhl's experience as
assistant secretary of state makes him well
fitted for the post ot ambassador to Germany.
It is expected that within the next few days
his nomination will bo sent to the senate.
The other gentlemen most prominently
mentioned for the post were Lambert Tree
nnd Potter Palmer of Chicago , and Charles
Do Kay. who Is now consul general at Berlin.
Mr. Do Kay is closely related to Richard
Watson Glider , ono of President Cleveland's
warmest friends.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. The house passed
a bill today granting the Christian Endeavor
toclety the use ot some of the government
reservations In Washington during their
meeting here next summer.
Mr. JcnUIni , republican of Wisconsin , called
up the election * committee report on the
CM'lest of Rocsenthal , republican , vs Crowtey
fiom the Tenth Tolas district. He explained
that Mr. Roscnthol had decided not to avail
himself of the courtesy of an hour's speech
giantcd yo-tcrday. Accordingly , the unani
mous report In Crow ley's favor was adopted
without debate or division.
Mr. Evans , republican of Kentucky , who
was at one tlmo commissioner ot Internal
revenue , reported from the committee on
ways and means a bill to amend section
3255 ot the Revised Statutes , so as to extend
the exemptions therein allowed dealers In
brnrdles , distilled from prunes , apples and
grapes , to brandies distilled from pears , pine
apples , oranges and berries. The ) bill has
been recommended by the commissioner ot
Internal revenue and was passed.
A resolution was adopted on motion of
Mr. Crowthcr , republican ot Missouri , author
izing th a president to appoint John T. Ryan ,
John L. Mercy nnd Chester Wells , naval
cadets , assistant engineers In the navy ; also ,
on motion of Mr. Brown , republican ' of
Tennessee , to change the tlmo for holding
the district nnd circuit courts In the eastern
district ot Tennessee.
The hnnsB wont Into committee of the
whole. Mr. Payne ot New York In the chair ,
and took up the consideration ot the District
of Columbia appropriation bill.
The annual effort of Mr. Do Armond was
mcdo to compel the District of Columbia to
bear all the expense ot the district govern
ment , but figures were adduced to provo that
the value of the government's property In the
District exceeded that of private individuals
by over $7,000,000. The chair finally ruled
the amendment out on a point of order.
At S o'clock a recess was taken until B
o'clock , the evening session to bo devoted to
the consideration of private pension bills.
The house struck a snag early In the ses
sion tonight. A bill to pension Susan B.
Wright , who , prior to her marriage to
Artcmus Wright , had been the widow of
Jsmes W. Walls , company I , Tenth regiment ,
New York Veteran Cavalry , met with op
position on both sides of the houso. General
Curtis of New York was In charge of the bill
and refused to withdraw. The result was
that it went to a vote and Mr. Miles , demo
crat of Maryland , mndo the point of "No
quorum. "
"I am surprised that a member of the
Invalid pension committee should make the
point of 'no quorum , ' " Maid Plckler , chair
man ot that committee.
"You may be- surprised very often , " re
plied Mr. Mllps , "nt what I consider a proper
exercise of moral courage. "
A call of the house followed and the roll
call showed exactly 100 members present a
quorum In the committee- the whole , under
the present rules. Thereupon a count was
challenged by Mr. Miles , who claimed that
some one had answered to the name of Mr.
Fitzgerald of Massachusetts , \vjjo Is ill In
Nashville.
"You have no right to challenge the count , "
cried Mr. Hardy.
"Wo have some rights here , " retorted Mr.
Miles.
The situation was becoming exciting , when
It was explained that Mr. Fisher had an
swered to .Mr. Fitzgerald's name by mis
take. Another vote and another call of the
house followed. A quorum appeared and
then disappeared , several democrats dissolv
ing into the cloak room each time a vote was
taken , but Mr. Hepburn , who was In the
chair , finally counted a quorum and the bill
"was laid aside with a favorable recom
mendation.
After some further filibustering , the house
adjourned.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. Nothing definite
can bo learned at the Treasury department
as to the number and amount of bids already
received for the new bonds. As fast as re
ceived the bids arc deposited In a safe place
and will remain until next "Wednesdaywhen
they will bo ' and
'opened their contents an
nounced. It Is certain , howe-ver , that a large
number of bids have been received , and
every mail brings considerable additions. As
to the amounts or prices offered , even the
secretary of the treasury knows nothing
except in the few cases where he has been
privately notified.
There seems to bo no doubt that the
amount of bids will exceed the $100.000,000
to be offered , and it Is expected the- for
eign offers will be considerably more than
was expected when the loan was announced.
The Improved political situation abroad. It
is believed , will contribute to this end. The
semi-official announcement that bidders who
Intend to pay for their bonds Jn foreign
coin will be given the preference In making
the awards Is expected to stimulate foreign
competition for the bonds.
The thing most feared In connection with
the sales. It Is said at the treasury , is a
possible combination by which a largo per
centage of the offers will be at uniformly
low rates. Should this be the case , tbero
seems to bo nt > doubt that Secretary Carlisle
would not hesitate to reject bids below what
he would regard as favorable both to the
government atd the purchaser.

VILAS ON THE SILVER BUI
Denounces Both the Bond Bill and th
Substitute as Iniquitous.
THREE CLASSES OF SILVER ADVOCATE
Severe ArrnlKtiinent nt the 1'olltl
clntm from the Hockr Mountain
Slntc * I > r do Senator
from AYIncnunlii.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 31. The final vet
on the bond silver bill will be taken In th
senate at 2 o'clock tomorrow , an agrcomcn
to that effect having been reached today
This brings to a conclusion a debate lastln
many days. The agreement came rather un
cxpcctedly at the close of Mr. Vllas' speech
Ho had talked for three hours nnd was nbou
to bo followed by Mr. Bate when Mr. Chan
dlcr precipitated the final vote by announc
Ing that he would ask unanimous consent fen
n recess from 4 to 7 o'clock. Mr. Harris pu
the voting proposition In a more definite
form by asking that the motion cover n re
ccsa from to 7:30 : , n further recess until 1
o'clock tomorrow , then the five-minute rul
to apply except to Mr. Morrlll , the vencrabl
head of the finance committee , and finally
a vote on the bill and all amendments at
o'clock. ' The presiding officer declared th
unanimous consent to the agreement to b
In force. Aside from this , the day was glvci
to speeches on the pending bill.
When the senate convened today I
was technically a continuance of th
session of Thursday , as a recet <
was taken last night. The silver bon
bill therefore had an immediate right of way
with Mr. Vllas ( democrat of Wisconsin
recognized to speak.
There was a very meager attendance. Mr
Alien , populist of Nebraska , called attention
to the absence of a quorum. This neccs
sltatcd a roll call , which brought member
from cloak and committee rooms and dls
closed forty-six senators present , one in or
tl.an a quorum. Mr. Vllas then addresse <
the setQte.
"It will. " said Mr. Vllas , "doubtless neve
bo necessary to discuss this bill as It cam
from the house. But It may be said that 1
deserved Its fate. Strangled by silver. 1
was the fraudulent pretext of response t
the exigency which It professed to nice
and to the reasonable suggestions ot the presl
dent which It denied , while it averted thol
wisdom. With the > exception of provision
for emergency certificates which ought to
stand In the permanent statutes the nous
bill contained nothing commendable. Every
thing clso was but mockery of the leglsla
tlon demanded by our fiscal conditions. And
so again , as a year ago , partisanship , or im
beclllty , or both , has stricken congress will
paralysis , and the rescue of business pros
pcrlty from Its recurring peril has been
thrown upon the executive. It is almost a
fortuitous as fortunate that an old statute
has remained untouched , during our financla
madness which can again serve the turn
and , although In a clumsy way , when con
sldered with reference to existing condition
and suitable measures of relict , yet It show
God's pity and mercy are not wholly with
drawn from us.
"If , " ho continued , "any trusted agent In
private affairs should so deny duty and abus
trust as congress did a year ago , and now
repeats , no judgment In their condemnation
would bo too severe. Over $150,000,000 In
the public debt were then thrown away In
the recklesa rage of partisanship , nnd the
Injury that must now bo sustained by the
people for the same reason is probably no
lees , although the exact measure of It Is no
quite so clear. Then republican manage
tnent was about to show pretense that bu
for the populists and free sllverltcs there
might have been relief. It was not true
then and this bill has now unmasked the
foct by denying under republican dictations
the only remedy available to the Increasec
njtchlef. "
SHAM AND A FRAUD.
Declaring that the bill as it came from the
house was a mere sham and fraud , Mr. Vllas
proceeded to show that the senate amend
mcnts made it worse than the arlglna
measure.
"It wag a bad stock , " he asserted , "though
It has been budded with a warm scion. The
best hope is that both will shrivel and die
In the desert air of the senate. "
"In the senate Midas Is the horror of horrors
rors , everything turns to sll.ver. " He said
he had hitherto concluded that It was the
wisest policy to sit quiet and allow the silver
advocates to da the talking , as they were In
the habit of doing at tn * ratio of about II
to 1 , but he had heard It asked why the op
ponents of free coinage did not Justify thor !
faith In debate.
Ho then proceeded at considerable lengtl
to discuss the free coinage provision of the
pending bill , declaring that the financial dis
tress and public misery for the past three
years were the direct products of the efforts
to force silver upon the country. "And , " he
said , "our course of relief is a return to sounc
principles. "
He believed especially that every stop o ;
the fatal progress In error had been opposec
to the cardinal doctrines onwhich the demo
cratic party is based and by which It must
abide or sink in recreancy while the spirit
flies from our institution of liberty. He di
vided the silver advocates Into three classes :
Plrst , those who were Interested In silver
mining ; second , heavy debtorsnnd third ,
those who believe In the principle ot bimetal
lism. Of the first class he said that they
wcro few In number but wonderfully poten
tial. Of the second , that they might "de-
servo sympathy If they did not shock It. "
The third c'ass he regarded as honestly mis
taken and to them he addressed himself. He
contended that the silver mine owners were
largely responsible for the agitation for free
coinage , and after asserting that silver mining
was confined to the western states , sa'.d the
mines were owned by comparatively few people
ple and largely by corporations , who , by the
employment of labor , often make large profit
on comparatively small outlay. The keenest
and bet trained Intellects , ho said , were en
listed by this solid Interest , which was pos
sessed of "great strength of numbers and
riches , powerful In Intelligence , learning and
skill , keenly perceptive of Its special Inter
est. " That Interest was to win , to secure the
best price for silver. He declared the people
of the Rocky mountains to bo subservient to
the mlneholders.
SILVER KING OP THE ROCKIES.
"The veriest despot of story the 'grand
khan' of Tartary , the great mogul , never had
more submissive subjects than the silver king
of the Rockies ; nor was ever tyrant more
pitilessly exacting. No Independence of
thought or speech Is tolerated there. No
party , no creed , no business can thrive which
dares to doubt In the realm of that monarch

based their contentions upon a protectlv

Referring to the claims of the debtor class

cm an unspeakable and unparalleled outrage
Indeed , such a piece of legltlatlon would be

cloud of a party never known In the day
of democratic justice , charged with will !

wilder pchemes of remedy , threatening
should It grow apace , no one can fortcll will
what violence of social tempest. "
After reciting the glories of the old party
of Jefferson and Jnckron. the senator con
eluded : "This party will continue on It
great career , yielding neither on ono Bldo o
the other to the reactionary forces of oh
absolutism or the red fires of anarchy. "
As Mr. Vllas proceeded there were occi
slonal elmrp exchange ? between him ant
other senators. Mr. Mitchell Interjected n
question as to the bond transaction of lar
year. Mr. Vitas Justified the course take
under the exigencies of the time , whll
Mr. Mitchell denominated the course ot th
bond purchaser In buying on the theory o
silver payments and yet demanding and ox
peeling gold payments as a "bunco game. '
The talk of the bond Issue last yea
brought Mr. Tlllman of South Carolina to hi
feet for the first time since his recent senr-a
tlonal speech. Mr. Vllas had re-idlly yielded
to several senators , but in response to Mr
TiUman's request to put a question , th
Wisconsin senator abruptly declined to yle ! <
further , saying it Interrupted the course o
his argument. There was n momentary
awkward pause , with Mr. Tlllman still on hi
feet , and Mr. Vllaa yielded the question
"What was the price of bonds on the mar
ket on the day of the bond sale ? " asked Mr
Tlllman.
"I decline to chase down that will o' th
wisp. " responded Mr. Vllas. "I have already
answered that , and I refer the senator to
record. "
"But would it not bo1 Well to have the fact
right here. " pursued AlK Tiilman.
"No , " answered Alr 'jVllas. "Having answered
swerod that I do no care to he diverted from
my present arguments < by pursuing these in
cldental inquiries. " '
"Then you decline to answer It ? " askei
Mr. Tlllman. as he sat | 'down ' , and Mr. Vila
proceeded.
FIXING A TIME-fOn A VOTE.
Mr. Vllas closed shortly before 3 o'clock
and the skirmishing latvonce began.to fix a
tlmo for voting on the , bill. Mr. Harris , who
has been closely associated with Mr. Jones o
Arkansas In the direction of the measure
with characteristic , earnestness of manner
urged that an cxact Urn ? be fixed for takln )
the vote. Mr. JoncgJn the meantime , hat
entered the chamber a d hurried to a place
beside Mr , Harris. , v T ,
"Let the agrecmenf , Include a vote at 2
o'clock tomorrow , suggested Mr. Jones to his
" 4
colleague.
"Yes. " said Mr. Harris , "the proposition
'
contemplates a vote at 2 o'clock.
There was a momentary pause without ob
Jection being made , and the vlco president
who was In the chair , put the question : "Is
there no oblectlon ? "
Mr. Hill had risen. "There Is no > ' ques
tion , " said he , "as to the precise meaning
and effect of this proposition. " Mr. Hill clii
not seek to combat Mr. Harris' statement , but
adopted his most deferential manner In urg
ing that the senator ( Harris ) extend the
understanding so that it would permit nol
only a motion to postpone or to lay on the
table , but also to take up another bill.
Mr. Harris seemed disposed to yield. "My
only desire , " said ho , "Is to reach a vote at
2 o'clock tomorrow without reference to In
cidental stops and I shall have no objection
to the proposition of the. senator from New
York ( Hill ) as long as wo are enabled to
resch n vote at that hour. "
Mr. Hill added that such motions as might
bo offeied would be made before 2 o'clock.
"Not only that , " said Mr. Harris , "hut the
taking of the yeas and nays on them will
bs before 2 o'clock.
This brought about an understanding for
the first tlmo and the presiding officer , with
out waiting to adjust further differences , an
nounced that unanimous consent was given
Lo the agreement.
SET FOR 2 O'CLOCK.
The main feature of the agreement was
that the veto should bo taken at 2 p. in.
Saturday , with Mr. Hill reserving the right
to make motions to Indefinitely postpone , lay
on the table or take up another bill before
that hour. Incidental to this were the prop
osition for a recess from 4 until 7 o'clock to
day , another recess until 11 a. HI. tomor
row , then the five mlnuto ruleof debate
except In the case of Mr , Merrill and a vote
at 2 o'clock.
With this arrangement reached , th debate

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. Senator Jolin P.
Jones h.w received a message from John
Hays Hammond , who Is In jail .it Pretoria.
Soutli Afrlrn , In It. ho says : "I was ar
rested , with sbcty-four others , charged with
( edition nnd lilRli Ircjwon. The circum
stances are as follous : The history ot the
Transvaal In that of o small , unenlightened ,
retrogressive community. The government
Is n narrow oligarchy , with a Imd , Inclllclcnt
administration. The new population. Includ
ing many prominent Americans , co
more than twice tlie number or ths governing
class. 'They nro the wenlth-plo.lucsrs capable
of all Industries , yet they bear nine-tenths
of the taxation , They feel themselves alone ,
have no volco In affairs , are excluded Irom
franchise , have no municipal government , no
participation tor the children In the public
schools. They arc oppressively taxed and
badly treated. The Independence of the supreme
premo court Is constantly assailed by the
legislature. This condition of affairs has pre
vailed for years.
"In December the leading citizens of Jo-
Imnnotburg , Including nil the prominent
Americans , constituted a reform committee
to obtain constitutional redress and Issued
a manifesto of their demands , having first
hoisted the Traneval flag and sworn to main
tain the Integrity of the republic. While
tigltatlng the questions constitutionally the
Jameson Incident occurred. It was quite dis
associated from the reform movement.
"December 31 tile government font a com
mittee to Johannesburg asking tlu reform
committee to send a denutatlon to Pretoria.
The deputation went and conferred with the
government. No understanding was ar-
rlvod at.
"The battle of Doornkop was fought , Jame
son's column surrendered , nnd Johannesburg
people were asked to lay down their arms ,
which was done on the understanding from
the government that their demands would be
favorably considered , which were made solely
to protect the lives of our women nnd chil
dren nnd property. The government agreed
to this.
"The demands of the government were car
ried out without any demonstration of violence
lence on our part. Nevertheless , many prom
inent Americans and others , numbering about
sixty , were arrested and prosecuted for sedi
tion nnd treason under penalties Involving
Imprisonment nnd confiscation of property
valued at millions of pounds sterling.
"Tho detention of all the prisoners Is un
justifiable and the confiscation of property n
monstrous oppression. Ask our government
to urge on the Transvaal government that
the demands ot the reform government com
mittee were reasonable and based on primary
principles of the republic.
"Protest against the treatment of all. and
of the Americans In particular. If the Trans
vaal government persists In Its present course
our government can only Invoke the aid of
Great Britain as the paramount South African
power to coerce the Transvaal , which then
forfeits the moral support of a sinter repub
lic. This course the Transvaal would fear.
"Urge the reasonableness of our claims ;
then warn the Transvaal government of the
consequences of the loss of support and In
voke aid of Great Britain , which Is much dis
liked by the Transvaal government. "

NEW YORK. Jan. 31. Prof. A. W. Wright ,
who occupies the chair of experimental phys
ics at Yale university , and Is In charge of
the Sloan physical laboratory , has , according
to the Evening Post's Now Haven corre
spondent , made successful experiments re
cently in photographing objects behind
opaque bodies by the agency of cathode rays ,
In which Prof. W. C. Ronetgen of Germany
has been reported to have achieved remark
able results.
Prof. Wright used in his experiments a
tube in which the exhaustion Is carried
to so liigh a point that the tension of the
gis loft In the tube Is measured by a few
mllllonths of ordinary atmospheric pressure.
The so-called Crookcs tubes are connected
to the poles of an induction cell In action.
The discharge from the negative electrode
of such a tube gives the cathode the rays
which , It must be emphasized , are almost
non-luminous.
Prof. Wright's experiments were made
with a great variety of substances and It
was found that strong Impressions were ob
tained upon a photographic plate , even when
It was enclosed In an opaque wrapping of
black paper and covered with a pine board
half an Inch thick. It was evident at the
outset that the order cf transparency of
different subjects for the light rays was very
different frnm fh < it wlilnli la fmtiwl wtiii
cathode rays. Thus , pieces of glass were
opaque to those rays and some of the metals ,
as ebonite , which Is perfectly opaque to
luminous rays , but transmits the cathode
rays with great freedom. Among the metals
aluminum Is especially distinguished , and
In ono of tlie experiments of Prof. Wright
an aluminum plate left Its Impression on
the plates so as to show the lettering. In
this latter case the layer between the metal
and Mnsltlvo plates was absolutely opaque
ebonite , which Is the substance used by
photographers to darken completely the plate
holder. In other experiments which were
made by Prof. Wright with a pine board
Interposed In a closed paper box containing
aluminum grain weights they left d trace
upon the plate , which appeared as though
the box was almost transparent end the
weights themselves somewhat translucent.
An ordinary lead pencil lying near the box
upon the Interposed board showed its graphite
core by a darker trace In the mlddlo of
the fainter Impression of the wood cf the
pencil. Another paper box contained , Im
bedded In cotton , three small spheres , one
of platinum , onei of brass and ono of alumi
num. In this case the box appeared so
nearly transparent aa to leave but a slight
Impression on the plate. The brass and
platinum spheres intercepted a largo portion
of the cathode rays , the aluminum sphere
a much smaller proportion. A number of
American coins silver , copper and nickel
produce'd strong Impressions.
