with a view of action upon the Smith bill
fr the establishment of nn armor plate fac
tory at Washington. They agreed In the
statement that such a plan could not bo se

OUR TRADE INCREASING AT PANAMA
Anicrlcnn Commerce Hniililly Gaining

WASHINQTON , Feb. 8. An exhaustive re
port has been made to the State department
by United States Consul General Vlfqualn at
Panama upon the business of the Panama
railroad and the prospects of the canal.
He shows that there Is a small but steady
ncrcaso of the number of American steamers
calling at Panama and they carry twice as
much > as all the other steamers. In flvo
years the number of arrivals of American
vessels has Increased from fifty-Ova to elghty-
or.o , while the arrivals ot English steamera
In the same time Increased from seventy-
two to only eighty-four. . , }
Touching tbo transit across the Isthmus
the consul general says the trade would
jo much larger If the railroad rates were
lowered and at present a great quantity of
cofteo Is taken from Central America by
German steamers around the Horn to Ham
burg and Havre , while timber goes to Italy
and England , and wheat from California to
all Europe by water , which should cross the
sthmus. The consul general Bays It Is gen
erally conceded that the Panama railroad has
scon Its best days In the transit of busi
ness , although the traffic has Increased an
nually for the past five years. The fight
between the Panama rallrorfd and the Pacific
Mall Steamship company has caused mucji
loss to the cash value of the transit busi
ness , but the Increase of acreage In coffee
ands has been so great that notwlthstand-
ng the fight the transit business could not be
icld down , although the cash receipts have
suffered.
Mr. Vlfqualn says : "Under a foreign own
ership and a foreign management the Ameri
can corporation known as the Panama Hall-
road company will continue to thrive whether
there bo a canal or not , i greatly to the
detriment of American Interests , commercial
and International , Inasmuch as European
.ondcncles seem bent , cither for sclf-
ircscrvatlon or International Jealousy , to
undermine and destroy the United States'
irettlga In this part of the world. My firm
jelief Is that there will be a canal built
within the next decade. "

Mliilwtor Terrellotds No Protec
tion nt CoiiHtniitlnople.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 8. So fir as known
lore United States Minister Terrell has not
applied to the ports for authority to have a
guard ship enter the Dardanelles. Officials
say that at the present there Is no" need for
a guard Ship for tha United States legation at
Constantinople and It is believed that the
rumer that Mr. Terrell Is moving In that
llrectlon probably nan Its foundation In a
suggestion that was under consideration
Mine tlmo ago , when there was reason to
apprehend rioting in Constantinople that
might Injure the United States legation.
Inasmuch as the United States govern
ment has expressly refused for years paste
o recognize the right of the Turkish
luthorltlcd to exclude any of our war ehlps
rom the Dardanelles which ue persist In
regarding as n great artery connecting two
open vena and therefore not subject to the
urlsdlctlon ot any one nation , It Is hardly
irobable that Mr. Terrell would go upon
record now as "Dfllclally asking pcrmlrson !
o exercise a function that the United States
nslsts It may discharge as a matter of right
vhen It sees fit.
In the present situation of affairs In
Turkey , It Is said at the Navy department
hat the United States Is not disposed to take
an It''uo needlessly that might tend to cause
n outbreak , but It the time conies when U
s deemed necessary for the protection of
imerlcan Interests to have ono or more war
hips In the Dananellci ! , they will bo sent

HALL CHANGES HIS OPINION
Former Frco Coinage Advocate Makes n
Speech for Sound Money ,
SILVER AGITATION HAS BEEN COSTLY
Acrtmril ' of Voting
Tliclr Co'nvlctlon to CnK'li the
1'ollllcnl llroorc TIMVIM * At-
trnutn Ai > i > lunpir.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 8. The debate on
the free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill was very spirited today. There
were several strong speeches ami one , at
least , ot a somewhat sensational character.
Mr. Towno of Minnesota , a republican ,
claimed the attention of the house and gal
leries for over an hour with an eloquent
effort on behalf of free coinage , which wo
for him a p3rsonal ovation ruch aa has no
been accorded any member slnco thesesslo
began. His speech was Illustrated wit
charts and aroused unbounded enthusiast
among the silver forces. Mr. Hall , on th
other hand , announced his conversion t
"sound money" In a rather sensational specc
In which he charged that eight senators w.h
voted for free coinage , according to "credlbl
Information , " had privately said that the
believed free coinage would bring upon thl
country national and Individual bankruptc
and ruin. He charged them with trying to
"feabcr their nests at home" and declarci
that the greatest sin ot the present ago was
the cowardice ot statesmen. He also de
clared that a high officer of the admlntstra
tlon had said that the silver agitation ha
already cost the government $202,000,000 I
bond Iraucs and In tlio course of the nex
t\\clvo months the bond Issue would Incrcas
to Jl.000,000,000. Mr. Hall voted for fro
coinage in the last congress. The othe
speakers today were : Corliss , Doaner , Gros
venor , Evans and McCreary against con
currcnce In the free coinage substitute am
Mr. Dartlett In favor of concurrence. Th
general debate will close Monday and th
vote will bo taken on Tuesday.
Whllo Mr. Bartlctt was speaking Mr
Doatner by a reference to the defeat o
"Silver Dollar" Dland , General Hatch and
other silver leaders , drew forth an In
dlgnant protest against the troachcroui
manner In which gold democrats hai
stabbed In the back democratic candidate
who differed with them. "Witness , " salt
ho contemptuously , "tho democratic scene
dally being enacted In Kentucky. When
did It become democratic doctrine to de
feat democratic candidates ? "
"Tho situation In Kentucky , " replied Mr
Boatner , "only Illustrates the destroying
effect of democrats refusing to stand b ;
the party platform. If the silver democrat
would abide by the declaration of the party
made In convention wo would not today bo
threatened with the loss ot a senator from
that state. "
"We are threatened with th& loss of a
senator , " said Mr. Bartlctt , "because men
who are not In the majority seek to control
I want to say that whether In the majority
or minority wherever the democratic flag
floats there will bo my stand. "
"If the democratic national conventloi
adopts a gold platform and nominates a golt
candidate. " Interposed Mr. Skinner , republl
can of North Carolina , "will you supper
the ticket ? "
"I will vote for any man , " replied Mr
Bartlett , "whom the majority ot the demo
crats nominate In , convention. "
"Then you are willing to sacrifice the
Interests of the people on the altar of
party ? "
"I am willing to forego temporarily the
consummation which must eventually come
and can only cotro through the democratic
party. " , - , . ,
At noon the house went through the for
mality ot adjourning , nml reconvening and
'
ho debate on'the bond bill then proceeded ,
tfr. Grosvenor said that the' republican
party. In response" to the cry of free silver
republicans , proposed to "do something for
silver , " proposed to do something for the
American people by ( righting ) the wrong
lone them by a democratic tariff In the
ast congress. The party would do some
thing for a million wool growers. Instead of
a hundred mine owners.
"Wo have not a silver mine In California , "
ntorposed Mr. Johnson.
"You're right , " retorted Mr. Grosvenor ,
'and you might add that California Is the
most prescriptive gold state In the union. "
"That shows we are willing to do some-
: hlng for the rest of the country , " 33ld Mr.
Johnson.
"At our expense , " shouted Mr. Walker.
Mr. Groavenor called attention to a cir
cular to eastern manufacturers , signed by
sixteen free silver republicans , containing a
covert threat against the protective system ,
If they did not favor free silver. Mr. Gros-
venor ridiculed the threats of the silver sen
ators and adduced some figures to show that
.hoy were powerless to execute their threats.
Thcso senators represented but sixteen votes
n the entire electoral college out of 444. Hu
predicted 266 republican electoral votes for
sound finance and protection. If the election
should bo thrown Into the house , he said ,
the victory of the sound money republican
candidate was certain. Threats of splits
and fusion would bo futile and unavailing.
IIo was concluding an eloquent passngo
about loyalty to the grand old republican
party when Mr. Owens asked If he was
speaking of the same republican party that
md a few days ago auctioned off the na-
lonal convention.
"Great God , " replied Mr. Grosvonor , look-
ng about the house , "let us hear something
about honest elections. "
"U It the party , " asked Mr. Miles ? , "which
ms just1 made a deal with the populists In
he senate to .secure control o ! the msohiuo
over there ? "
"It w.is compelled to take possession of
the machine your party was smashing , " re-
llled Mr. Crosve'nor.
"la It the same party , " asked Mr. Owens ,
returning to the assault , "which signalized
Its return to power In the senate by send
ing us the free cohiace bill we are now
considering ? " ( Laughter ) .
"I have lust been paying my respects to
some of the republican senators. " replied
Mr. Grosvenor. "If there Is anything In
the situation there which can furnish com
fort to the sound money democrats , you are
welcome to It. " ( Republican applause ) .
Mr. Evans , Mr. McCreary and Mr. Hepburn
followed In favor of nun-concurrence. The
latter Bald the republican party was the only
party that by Its deeds had shown Its friend
ship for the people.
"Are you willing to restore free coinage
of silver ? " asked Mr. Livingston.
"Yes. " replied Mr. Hepburn , "when you re
store tho'condltlons that existed In the dayp
of the 'dollars of our daddies,1 Then silver
wan worth $1.29 an ounce. " In concluding ,
lie ridiculed thcso "bewildered democrats
who denounce the attitude ot Mr. Cleveland. "
"No democrat , " said ho , "has been more
consistent , more closely adhesive to bis
announcement than no. In 1885 , before bis
first election , be declared against the silver
licrepy. In all his utterances since ho has
adhered to that principle. In May , 1S92 , ho
reiterated hla position for the fifth tlmo.
"You know , " said he , addressing the demo
cratic side , "that ho could not carry out
your platform except at the prlco of per
jury and personal dishonor ; yet you now
pretend that you were deceived. " ( Laughter. )
Mr. Towno Illustrated his remarks with
charltt. Twice the house gave him an ex
tension ot tlmo , and his remarks aroused
great enthusiasm among the silver forces ,
His charln shewed the appreciation of gold
and the fall of prices. One chart upon which
he laid especial stress , demonstrated , he
bald , that the fall In the price of silver
slnco 1873 was not du6 to tha overproduction
of silver , Mr. Townc closed with the * decla
ration that the republican party must define
Ita program and do something for the
restoration cf silver. The United States
could unite wltn France and Germany If
England refused. Mr. Towne was given a
tremendous ovation when ho concluded , For
several minutes the free silver members
crowded about and tendered him their con
gratulations.

"I know It Is regarded as political death

Mr. Talbott Did not the gentleman vote
for the free coinage bill In 1S93 ? I ask the
question for Information.
Mr. Hall The gentleman aske If I did not
vote for the free coinage bill In the extra
session In 1893. 1 ansrer ye ? . But I will-
tell that gentleman I have progressed since
that tlmo , while he Is staudlnc where I was
three years ago.t
Mr. Layton I wish t to ask the gentleman a
question. I understood him to make the
extraordinary statement that ho has been
Informed that eight wnatora who had voted
for this bill nad sa'.d they actually believed
that the free coinage ot silver would lead
to the bankruptcy and destruction of this
country. I ask the gentleman , do you believe
that any senator over said that ?
THINKING PEOPLE CHANGE.
Mr. Hall I told you that I was credibly
Informed that they had said It and I believed
It or t would not have stated It hero. But
I want to say a few words now on this ques
tion ot consistency. I find upon Investigation
In the bureau of education that the Chinese ,
the Inhabitants ot the Indies and the tribes
of Africa are the only human beings that
are continually consistent. ( Laughter ) . The
lower grades of animals are also always con
sistent. ( Laughter ) . . I maintain that reason
ing , thoughtful , clear-headed men who pass
through the world with their minds open
to the Investigations of truth are ever liable
to chango. Where Is the Intelligent man In
the United States who has not a high regard
for the fame of .William E. Gladstone , the
great English statesman ? Listen to that
grand man express his regret that ho should
have made the blunder that ho did In 1S52.
Observe the course of Bismarck , the greatest
Gorman statesman. When he was advocating' '
the sale of the stiver of Germany for what
ever price could , bo obtained for It and was
approached by one of his friends , who said :
"I am just where you were ten years ago , "
the reply was , "That was the political blunder
of my life ; and I have had Intelligence to
profit by It and move forward. "
Mr. Talbot According to this doctrine
wo can never tell where a man stands.
Mr. Hall You can always tell how cer
tain animals stand and how the Chinese
stand , because they adopt the doctrlno of
Confucius , that the greatest crlmo which
a Chinaman can commit Is to 'attempt to
do a thing differently from the way his an
cestors did IfV thousand years before. I
did not Intend'to-'itiako an address further
than to put myselr on record as the ono
democrat fronr"oV-rural district west of the
Mississippi , In 'tt ' 'purely ' agricultural region ,
that dares stand 'lip and say that sound
money Is /salvation of the agricultural
and laboring classes of this government. I
understand full > well that the action of the
national bimetallic league has put my dis
trict cm the black : Ills t , I understand , Mr.
Chairman , situated .as I am , both of my
senators on thei "opposite side of the ques
tion , my entire. ' state , and all my speaking
colleagues on AliaJdemocratlc side , on the
other side of thd question , that leaves mo
standing alone , practically , with a hard roe
to hoe. And If jl'ishall , go down to defeat , I
will go with my own aelf-re-spect , and my
friends will' ' bo a bio. to appreciate that I was
not too covvardlyitto- my people what I ,
believed to ibeitrlghWwhen their Judgment
was entirely the' other way.
Mr. Cox Now , In view of the fact that
we have acted together and worked for free
sliver , I hope the gentleman from Missouri
doss not mean to say that any of his friends
who happen to differ with him on this
question , or who have not advanced so far
as ho has , are a set of cowards , or have no
respect for facts. -
Mr. Hall I do not believe the shoe fits
him , and I do not want any man to wear
it unless It does nt him. "

WASHINGTON , Feb. 8. The hearings by
the sonata commltteo ou Pacific railroads of
PCMOHS Interested In securing the reorganiza
tion of the Pacific railroads was resumed to-
diy. Mr. Pierce , representing the Union I'a-
clflo reorganization commltteo , waa again before -
fore the committee and he was put through
a sharp process of questioning by Senators
Wolcott and Morgan. IIo slated In reply to
thHr questions that It had been the purpose
of the committee on. reorganization to leave
considerable latitude to the government , but
said that the plan proposed would give the
government about 50 per cent of Its debt ,
principal and Interest , which would not
amount to quite as much as the principal It
self.
self.In
In reply to a question , Senator Wolcott
tnld that while Mr. Depow was on the reor
ganization committee , ho could not say
whether the Goulds and Vandcrbllta wore
Interested In the proposed reorganization or
that there was any ulterior purpose to attach
any portion of the Union Pacific system to
cither the Missouri Pacific or the North
western.
Mr. Morgan pressed Mr. Pierce to know
whether It was not possible under the
reorganization proposed for an alien syndi
cate to get control of the road , to which he
replied that In case the proposed plan ot
reorganization should be accepted , It was
contemplated that the reorganization com
mltteo should Itself take the property. Ho
woo doubtful whether If alien purchasers
ohould secure the property they would be
able under the laws to hold It. He said that
his committee had made no definite proposi
tion except that of 3 per cent bonds for the
principal , and of bonds to cover the accrued
Interest , to run fifty years without Inter
est ,
Mr. Andersonone of the government di
rectors of the road , said that as a govern
ment director , he was the advocate of no
particular plan of reorganization Ho
favored a reorganization which should em
brace both the Union Pacific and the Cen
tral Pacific and he was confident from a
familiar knowledge of the two roads that
they were not able to meet both tlio prin
cipal and Interest due the government. Ho
estimated the property ot the road to be
worth about $75,000,000 or ? SO,000,000. In
1S94 the net earnings were about $4,300,000 ,
which ho stated were the lowest In years.
To arrive at the value of the government
lien It Is necsssary to deduct about $50,000.000
duo on first mortgage bonds and on other
accounts. Ho would , he said , recommend
that the government should accept a cash
offer of $35.000,000 and that It would bo bet
ter to do this than to enter Into any of the
other schemes suggested. This suggestion
was based upon the Union Pacific alone , but
he thought that the Union Pacific and , Cen
tral Pacific should bo disposed ot as one
line because they would bring more If sold
In that way than If sold separately.
Mr. Anderson expressed the opinion that
the Oregon Short Line would bo foreclosed
within six months and be taken out of the
system. He also expressed the opinion that
a foreclosure on the first mortgage bonds
would not only close the government out , but
would cut ell the equity of redemption.
Senator Morgan mada an effort to secure
Mr. Anderson's opinion as to ths Increase of
the A'aluo of the Union Pacific property In
the next hundred years , In view of the re
sources of the country penetrated , and asked
him Ifhe did not think the Investment of
$35,000,000 would In that tlmo prove profit
able. To this Mr. Anderson replied that he
thought that it would be a good Investment
but "not enormously good. " Ho said that
the experience of investors In the western
roads In the. past had been the opposite of
profitable. '
Senator Brlce asked Mr. Anderson to ex
plain how It was that with the not earnings
equal to twice the amount necessary the
management had allowed the road to approach
preach the point of foreclosure. To this Mr.
Anderson replied that the road was to be
foreclosed because the bonds had reached
their maturity. He thought the interest could
have been taken care of , however. In the
net earnings was Included about $1,200,000
for business done for the United States which
had been withheld , leaving only about $3,000-
000 of actual earnings. It was also a fact
that Judge Sanborn , In whose Jurisdiction the
road lies , was opposed to applying much of
themoney earned to the- Interest account.
Mr. Huntingdon asked to bo allowed to
make his promised statement concerning the
Central Pacific at a later day and the per
mission was granted. He took occasion , however -
over , to repeat his statement made at the
last meeting that the Central Pacific meant
to pay 100 cents on the dollar. IIo also re
peated his statement that the Central Pa
cific waa in good condition and added some
facts concerning the cost of tbo construction
of his road. He said that less than 200 miles
of the Central Pacific road across the moun
tains had cost more to build than had more
than 1,000 ot the Union Pacific from Omaha
to Ogdon. He said the road had been built
with gold and that many of the bonds had
been sold for 40 cents on the dollar. Senator
Morgan asked why silver Instead ot gold had
not been used and Senator Stewart replied
for Mr. Huntlngton that at the tlmo the road
was built silver had been worth 3 per cent
more than gold.
David Littler furnished the committee with
Eomo additional details concerning : the Sioux
City & Pacific road.

CINCINNATI , Feb. 8. The slow process
of solution of the Pearl Bryan murder mys
tery now points to Thursday night as the
night of tlio murder , nnd to the use of
coealno as a means to the vile end. Drug
gist Uulen , on West Sixth street , has notified
the pollco that on Wednesday before the mur
der Jackson called at his place and asked
for a drachm of cocaine. The druggist had
not so large a quantity on hand , but told
Jackson that If he would call later ho could
supply him. Jackson said ho wanted it
for a patient. Ho did return later , but not
having money enough to pay for a drachm ,
took a less quantity , Ulen fully Identified
the prisoner as the man who bought the
cocaine. Jackson himself admits the pur
chase , but says ho gave It to Walling. This
Is In harmony with his story to Secretary
Tlbbets of the Young Men's Christian associ
ation , that Walling was to bo the actlvo
party In producing an abortion ,
Jackson persistently says ho did not sea
Pearl after Wednesday , although the saloon
keeper , Wellington ] , says Jackson and a
woman corresponding in appearance to the
description of Pearl Bryan were at this saloon
together oh Friday night. Walling , however ,
finds It difficult to tell clearly where ho
spent Thursday night. He spoke- with regret
last night of his Inability to remember how
he spent Thursday night , though ho could
tell clearly about whcro be was on both
Wednesday and Friday nights. Later bo
said It had come to him through dreams
and he went.on to tell of having written a
letter at the Dcnnlson house and playing
pool at the Atlantic garden , and .going to a
saloon about 11:30 : , but could tell nothing
further. The landlady whore ho roomed ac
counts for him up to about 10:30 : , when ho
wont up to his room , but she cannot tell
whether he remained In the house after that
tlmo. or not.
There Is no trace found yet of a sleeping
place for Pearl Bryan after she left the
Indiana house on Wednesday. Somebody
must know besides the murderers , but so far
no ono has volunteered to glvo the Informa
tion to the police. _
Death by cocaine. It is said , Is more diffi
cult to trace than by any other drug , and
hcnco the continued mystery In the case.
Both the prisoners having now been pro
vided with counsel , the probability of fur
ther statements Is lessened.
Since the friends of Jackson and Walling
have retained a number of prominent law
yers , the prisoners are no longer keeping
up thslr confessions against each other.
Walling today repeated his statements about
Jackson securing the cocaine and the cab ,
and these points are confirmed by the drug
gist and otheri. Since Jackson confessed
yesterday to the clergy , ho has become very
zealous In his devotions. Ho Is reading the
bible today and wrote his mother at Green-
castle , Ind. , a letter , which was Intended to
cheer her up , The officers ascertained that
this letter agreed with the confession made
last night , in which he said ho advised Wood
to sand Pearl Bryan here , and then secured
Walling for the operation.
In addition to the largo number of friends
of the different families that arrived from
Greencastle , Ind , , yesterday , there are others
today. Mrs. Stanley , a sister of Pearl Bryan ,
arrived today and after viewing tha body
Identified It in many respects , although no
further Identification was needed. Mrs. Stan-
Icy Insisted on the remains being delivered
to the undertaker from her home who was
with her. The officers refused to , glvc the
body to the family until next Monday. Mean
time the search will b'o kept up for the head
and If it Is not found 'by Monday then an
Inquest will bo held and the body turned
ever to the family. The officers are continu
ing their search far the head today In the
tiewors , at the Dayton sandbar and olsowhora
by a large number of worklngmen employed.
The officers today secured the original
copy of a letter from Jackson to Wood , In
which Jackson outlined a. letter for Wood
* to write to Mrs. Bryan and sign the nanjo of
Pearl. This letter was to bo sent to a
trusted friend at Lafayctta named Smith ,
who was to put it In the postoMlca at that
place and leave the Bryan family under the
impression that Pearl had gene to Lafayette ,
so that her whereabouts afterward might
not bo traced. The letter shows that the
plot had been contemplated for weeks and
that Wood was communicating with Jack
son.
son.Fred W. Maxwell of Dayton , Ky. , on
last Monday saw a man get off the street
car with a package and proceed toward the
Dayton sandbar. Today Maxwell visited the
olty prison and Identified Walling among
other prisoners as the man who had taken
the package to the sandbar.
James Hlgglns has been taking great
Interest In thl mystery and an Inquest of
lunacy was hold on him today , and ho was
sent to Longvlow asylum by tbo probate
judgo.

NEW YORK , Feb. 8. A dispatch from
Madrid says : This city was last night the
scene of a demonstration that would have re
quired but very llttlo to have turned it Into
a serious riot. As told on Tuesday last , a
number of men hooted General Campos as
ho was driving to hU residence from the rail
way station on his return from Cuba. A
number were arrested and ono of them brok
away from the gendarmes who had him in
custody and sought to make his escape. The
gendarmes fired at him and killed him. Tht
shooting was bitterly condemned by the re
publicans.
The funeral of the victim took place yes
terday and was attended by great crowds.
Fully 12,000 men , most of whom were repuh-
llcans , marched to the cemetery , shouting
for tbo entire distance , "Down with the
police , " "Down with Campos , " and "Long
live the republic. " The government antici
pated further trouble and there was a strong
torco of police , who , however , appeared to
bo afraid to Interfere with the procession In
any way lest they provotyo a riot , Consequently
quently the crowd shouted Itself hearse until
the cemetery was reached , when the great
assemblage stood with bared heads until th
funeral rltos had been completed. ,
The greater part ot the crowd then dis
persed , but 2,000 of Its number again formed
In Una and marched unmolested back to the
palace. In front of which they gathered and
shouted "Death to the king , " "Death to the
queen regent , " and "Long live the republic. "
Even the p-alace guards seemed to bo intlrul-
dated by the sullen temper of the mob and
made not the slightest attempt to drlvo them
away.
After partly venting their ni er against the
king and his mother , the crowds inarched to
the residence of General Vsmpos , where 'a
similar demonstration was mado. i.
The apithy of the pollco , which was unr
questionably duo to fear , was significant. So
far as Is known the civil authorities m4flo rip
request of the military for dispersing tm
crowd. The crowds committed no overt acts ,
however , contenting themselves with shout
ing and hooting , but they wore evidently In
a humor to flghj. had they been Interfered
with. After darkness had sat In It was pro
posed to gather under the windows of the
hotel at which were atopptng a number of
republican delegates who had como to Madrid
especially to attend the funeral of the vic
tim of the gendarmes and serenade them.

their courage and told the loaders the ser
