WHAT DAVB MBRCBR IS DOING. Congressman Mercer , not content with having secured a number of concessions for hla district , Is now laboring to secure an appropriation of $200,000 far the Improvement of the Missouri river , upon the theory that St. Louts , having enjoyed the greater portion tion of the annual appropriations for a num ber of years , could \\cll afford to allow this amount to bo diverted.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 12. ThS debate on the free sliver substitute for tlie liouto bond bill nas resumed when the housa recon vened at 10:30 : this morning. Mr. Underwood , democrat of Alabama , and Mr. Cox , democrat of Tennessee , spoke In favor of concurrence In the senate ttibstl- ttito , and Mr. Brumm , republican of Penn sylvania , In favor of the coinage of the American product. The latter ridiculed Mr. Hall of Mli'.vmrl for arrogating to himself credit for changing his position on the sil ver question. "He compared himself with Gladstone , " paid Mr. Ilrumm. " 'Gladstone and I have changed our minds , ' he says. In my opinion , his conversation can be char acterized In one word cuckoo. " At 12 o'clock the regular order of the house session began. The chaplain , In his prayer , referred to the fact that this was Lincoln's birthday. Mr. Cannon , republican of Illinois , pre sented a senate Joint resolution appropriat ing $75,000 for the purpose ot making a Joint survey together with Great Britain of the boundary line between Alaska and Brit ish territory. The resolution was adopted. The house then resumed consideration of the bond silver bill. Mr. Dolllver , republican of Iowa , took the floor In opposition to the free coinage propo sition. He reviewed the history of the sub ject from the fourteenth century nnd paid that demonetization of sliver In 1873 had "not rtruck It down , " for during a pre vious period of seventy years there had been no silver In circulation. Free coinage had at all times proved a failure. He would rather stand where ho was than to jump without knowing whether he was to fall upon solid ground or In a bottomless pit. Ho denied that any country where free coin age \\as practiced had enjoyed the circula tion of both gold and silver at the same tlmo. There was never a time when a man stood for so mUch and a dollar so little BD at present. Mr. McMllIln , democrat of Tennessee , fol- lonrd. He said there wasan Insufficient currency and that wo should not wait for the co operation of any foreign country before taking steps to Improve our financial affairs. He was not for monometallism of any sort , but desired the use ot both metals. The theory that the amount of currency In cir culation did not affect prices was unfounded. Mr. Bailey sought to prove that gold had appreciated within the last twenty years , saying that It this uas true the opponents of silver would have nothing to stand on , as the basis of their contention was that gold was stable. He had vo especial preference for either gold or silver , but desired that which was stable. Mr. McCleary said ho would , endeavor to anchor the statements- made by his col league , Mr. Towno. He used the maps em ployed by Mr. Towno last week and assorted iney aiu not ue.ir oui uiu ireo silver aigumonts of his colleague. At 5:30 : a recess was taken to S p. m. , the night session to be devoted to debate. The last night of the general debate on the bill was more poorly attended than any of Its predecessors. The galleries were almost empty and there wore but seven members on the floor. Mr. PIngham , In opposition to the senate ; free oolnago JjUbstV'tute , predicted another $100,000,000 bond Issue unless some legislation was enacted covering gold re- den : ptlons of greenbacks. The only two other speakers , Wood and Gardner , were against the senate substitute. At D o'clock , for want of more speakers , the house took a recess until 10:30 : tomorrow morning. I'OOlt PUOSPECT FOIl STATEHOOD. Anti-Free Silver Men Oppom- the Ail- inlHNlou lit Present. WASHINGTON , Feb. 12.The house com mittee on territories held a warm session today over the bills to admit Arizona and New Mexico Into the union. For several weeks it has been apparent that there was a disposition among yome of the opponents of free silver on the committee to postpone favorable reports on those bills , at least for the present , to prevent the Increase of the sliver strength in the senato. Today the fight culminated. Whllo the bll admitting Arizona was under consideration the com- mltteo voted C to 5 to adjourn. It was er roneously reported that the vote was on the Arizona bill nnd that the bill Itself bad been defeated. Although as stated , the op ponents of free sliver were responsible for the postponement of action on the bill , all the opponents of free coinage on the com mittee were net In favor of deferring action. Mr. Scranton ot Pennsylvania , the chairman , Mr. Perkins of Iowa , republican , and Mr. Turner , democrat of Virginia , who voted against the motion to adjourn , ore also op posed to free coinage. These who voted to adjourn wore : Hadly , republican of Illinois ; Knox , republlcin of Massachusetts ; Taft , re publican of Ohio ; Lowe , . republican of New Ycrk ; Harrison , democra't of Alabama , and Owens , democrat of Kentucky. Messrs. Avery , republican of Michigan , and Cooper , democrat of Texas , voted against adjourn ment In addition to these named. Messrs. Harris , republican of Ohio , and Lefevro , re publican of Ohio , were absent. Both the latter are antl-ellver men. It Is therefore apparent the test of strength today Indicates the committee is opposed , at least for the present , to reporting thesa statehood bills , It la claimed both the absentees are also In favor of deferring action , but Mr. Murphy , the Arizona delegate , denied this. As the bill itself has not been defeated In com- mltteo the vote can bo taken whenever the advocates of the bill are able to muster a majority. N13W KII3M1S TOIL AM13IUCAX SKILL.

It was expected that the tariff bill would come up In the Donate today. Mr. Morrlll , chairman of the finance committee , having given notice of a motion to that effect. Hut the subject was not mentioned during the day and the entire - tire session was given to routine business. Considerable progress was made on the defi ciency bill , and the Item of federal court ex penses brought out strong criticisms from Mr. Chandler , Mr. Tlllman and Mr. Vest against the fee system. A resolution , Introduced by Mr. Peffer , calls for an Investigation of recent bond sales , nil dealings with syndicates and Individuals. Tha resolution Is so comprehensive as to cover every possible phase of negotiation on tha bond Issues of the last three years. Mr. Vest secured the adoption of a resolu tion calling on the secretary of agriculture to report what recent changes had been made In the quarantine line against cattle coming north from Texas. Mr. Vest explained - plained tlmt a recent publication stated that the secretary had Issued a proclamation mak ing radical changes to the detriment of the parties In Interest. Mr. Porter came forward with a lengthy resolution , proposing a senate Investigation of the circumstances of nil recent bond Is sues. The resolution proposes a special com mittee of five senators and gives compre hensive directions as to the scope ot the Inquiry , the dealings with syndicates , the effect of such dealings and explicit Informa tion as to the purchasers of bonds , rates and all attendant circumstances. Mr. Morrlll asked that the resolution go to the finance committee , but It went over under the rules until tomorrow. Among the favorable reports presented was one on Mr. Hale's bill making February 12 ( Lincoln's birthday ) a national holiday. The project for a memorial brldgo across the Potomac river connecting Washington and the old Arlington property In Virginia was nassed. The consideration of the urgent deficiency bill was then resumed. The Item of $210,000 for salaries of judges and officers ot the fede ral courts lu the Indian territory brought out a protest from Mr. Chandler. TWo of the Judges ( Springer and Kllgore ) are ex- members of congress and had gone to the territory with all the extravagant notions engendered by life In Washington and mem bership In a billion dollar democratic con gress. Mr. Chandler raid he v.as not yet prepared to make charges , but ho believed from letters received that all Is not as It should be In the administration of the Indian courts. FEE SYSTEM TO DLAME. Mr. Chandler also criticized the growing expenditures under the department of jus tice. These had trebled In ten years , with little Increase In business. The senator pointed out that the last congress , democratic In both branches and with a democratic presi dent , had appropriated $675,000 for United States marshals and made It necessary to provide $1,190.000 for deficiencies for United States marshals. Mr. Charidlcr declared that the fee system was responsible for the grow ing extravagance of federal officers. Ho spoke of conspiracies In Alabama , South Carolina and elsewhere to get up fraudulent prose cutions to swell the foes of officers. This brought Mr. Tlllman to his feet for a characteristic speech. He agreed with Mr. Chandler that the foe system was wrong. A supreme court Judge had recently pointed out that court officials were encouraged to get up fictitious prosecution. There Is a class of habitual witnesses In the south. They do nothing but earn witness fees , going around "bamboozling negroes" and getting whole teams of negroes to prosecute fictitious cases. The thing to > do was to re form the law. Mr. Sherman spoke of the- enormous cost of our governmental system , which arose In part from the complication of appropriation bills. Mr , Sherman urged that the budget system in use In England was far simpler than that of the American and could be profitably adopted. Mr. Vest spoke on the "robbery and plun der" practiced by United States marshals In order to obtain fees. There were coteries and rings of these marshals who made It a trade to go around arresting men and drag ging them hundreds of miles to Jail , not for the purpose of justice , but to swell the marshal's fees. The deficiency bill was laid aside at 4:10 : p. m. m.Mr. . Hale called up the bill making Feb ruary 12 ( Lincoln's birthday ) a 'national ' holiday. Mr. Hill mid he had Intended to offer an amendment making the birthday of Andrew Jackson a legal holiday , but In order not to interfere with this measure , ho would sub mit his bill separately. Mr. Hawley objected to the Immediate consideration and this prevented action. The senate at 4:15 : p. in. adjourned until tomorrow. CIIIIOIIH of Democratic * Senator * ) . WASHINGTON , Feb. 12. The democratic renators hold a caucus of two and a half hours duration today , called for the purpose of affording an opportunity for consultation upon the election of an assistant doorkeeper. The caucus resulted In a unanimous endorse ment of Mr. liornard Liyton of Ohio for the office. With this matter out of the way , the caucus , upon the suggestion of Senator Hill , took up the tariff bill for an exchange of Ideas , but no definite plan of action was agreed upon with reference to either the bill or any of the amendments proposed. Sena tor Vllas made an animated speech urging the party to get together and present a solid front , In vlow of the approaching campaign , and others spoke In a similar strain.

Under the firtt turned agree ment the Indians' sell all lands sup- p-f d to be mtntral , estimated at { 0,000 acres , to thegovernment far J360.00 ! ) , to be oxpendad for. them by the S5cret-\ry ct the rate of not more ' than $90,000 a , year The Utter agreement > Involves 800.000 or 1,000,000 acres of mounta'n land of a supposed - posed mineral character , for which the gov ernment ' agrees to pay Jl,500,000 to be ex- pc'ndcd by the secretary at the rate ot not more than $163.000 iyear. . The linds cf both thesO agencies will be disposed of under Or * mineral laws , except that purchasers efFort Fort Bclknap lands nlll bo rsqulred t9 pay $10 an aero Instead of the customaiy $3. In his letters ot transmission Secretary Hoko Smith formally enunciates a now policy , which will bo extended to all Indian reserva tions. He says : "I am firmly conv'nced that the better policy In such cases Is for thp government to lake charge of nnd sell i for what they will bring such lands as the Indians do not nccJ , the not proceeds being , placed In the treasury of the United States to bo expended for their benefit. If this ' course Is not practicable In any given case and It be thoughl best tor the government to purchase any Indian lands at a fixed price , then care should be taken to make provision for their disposal as will surely and fully reimburse the government the whole pur chase price. In other words , the govern ment should not bo subjected to the loss of money In these transactions. While I ap prove generally the lerms of this agreement , the price proposed to bo p.ild for the lands Is large and I am not satisfied that a suf ficient quantity of the land wilt bo disposed of to reimburse the government the amount lo ba paid. If a provision can bo made authorizing the department to dispose of thin land by Immediate sale in n body or In smaller tracts , at such prices as may bo fixed by the secretary of the Interior as will realize the full amount to bo expended by the government , I would cheerfully recom mend the approval of this agreement.

The convention between the government of the United States and that of Great Britain for the arbitration of clalmo for damages made on account of the Bering sea vessel seizures was received b Iho senate In executive session yesterday , am wao considered by the committee on forelg relations today. The treaty Is a brief doci ment , signed by Secretary Olney on the par of the United Statco , and by Sir Julia Pauncefoto for Great Britain. It provide for the reference of the claims to two com mlstloners , ono to be appointed by the Unltei States and the other by England , who , 1 casa of a failure to agree , arc authorized t select a third commissioner. If not able t ogrco upon a man for this office , the matte Is to be referred to the president of the Swls republic , with the request that ho name th third man , \\hlch he has consented to do The agreement Is , nndq In conformity will the Paris arbitration , and Its findings ar made obligatory upon both governments. As submitted , the treaty only provides fo the payment ot damages by the Unltei States for vessels pngaged In seal catchln belonging to citizens ot Great Britain , bu a disposition has ' 'already manifested Use ! In the committee to atriend It so ao to pro vldo also for the arbitration of claims whlc may arlso on the part of citizens of th United States for seizures of American vcs sols made by Great Britain , and the proba bllltles are that such an , amendment will b made In commutes. Senator Morgan talked at considerable length to the committee today , explaining the orlrin ot these claims and going Into th findings of the Paris-tribunal , as well as tne efforts to have thq.fila.lms Allied during the ' last'congress by' the payment ot a lump sum which ho opposed at that time. The committee too adjourned without taking any action , bu the Indications are that with the chang making the findings of the commission mu tual as between the two countries , the com mltteo will recommend the ratification of the treaty. KAVOIIS HECOtJXITIOJf Cul > : m QnrMtinn Up Before tlie For- elBii A Hit Irs Committee. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The most Im portant portions of the Cuban correspond- crco have been printed' and will receive primary consideration at the regular meetIng - Ing of the foreign affairs committee of ihe house tomorrow. The sentiment of the chair man , Mr. Hltt , and other members of the commttteo , is in favor of a resolution de claring It to ba the sense of the house that a state of war exists In Cuba and request ing the president to Issue his proclamation according the Insurgents belligerent rights. Mr. Sulzer of Now York , who has .given the Cuban situation much atlentlon , says that congress cannot grant belligerent rights , or , at least , that It haa been the universal practice ot the executive to Issue proclama tions recognizing a state of war and ac cording revolutionists the rights of belliger ents. This was done In the caseof Colom bia , Venezuela and Argentine. "The grantIng - Ing of belligerent rights , " said he , "only recognizes the existence of a state of war , and a state of war exists as soon as an up rising gets beyond the control of the au thorities. Such an uprising certainly reaches the dignity of war when Its participants arp able to maintain armed forces In the field and the authorities are unable to restoie order and protect property. 'Tho correspondent shows beyond ques tion , In an official way , that Spain , after a struggle ot almost a year , has bean unable to do either. The recognition of the Inde pendence of the Cubans could not come until they bad created a government nnd had irdlcated their ability to maintain It In the dUcharge of the functions ot government.

The subcommit tee of the house committee on com merce Is considering the report of the Nicaragua canal commission. The gen eral Impression among the members af the Eubcommlttce Is that the estimate- the comml.'slon for the completion of the work ( $130,000,000) ) Is entirely too high. Mr. Doo- llttle of Washington says that there are gentlemen In the United States who can glvo the best of security for carrying out their contract who wilt Agree to complete the work for $70,000,000. n Next Tuesday the ( subcommittee will meet for the purpose ofidtawlng up a rough draft o ! a bill for submtfalon to the full commit tee. It is probablythat the Morgan bill , which was before Ui < J senate In the last con- Brcss , will form the basis of the bill to bo prepared. The guaranluo cf the bonds of the company to an extent riot exceeding $100,090- 000 will bo the main ifeature.

The friends of the tariff bill In the senate have found It expedient to change their plans comowhat and Instead of taking up the tariff Im mediately , will postpone Us consideration until after tbo appropriation bills which huvo been reported from committees shall be disposed of , It Is believed tliesf measures will monopolize the. greater part of the tlmu of the senate ( or the next week.

FOUND A WOMAN'S ' FOOTPRINTS NEAR _ _ _ _ _ > i Clri.'iimstiiiiceH IVlilcU Tend to Show Slic AVtiM Decuiiltntcil Ilefore Life AViiN Extinct Cocaine Found 111 the Stomach. CINCINNATI , Feb. 12. The coroner's Jury rendered a verdict In the Inquest held over the body ot Pearl Dryan. The findings of the jury are : 1. That the dead body found on the farm of John Locke , near Fort Thomas , February 1 , Is the body of Pearl Bryan , late of Green- castle , Ind. 2. Tint cocaine had been administered to the woman. 3. That the decapitation had taken place while the woman was still alive , and at the place where the body was found , 4. That Pearl Bryan , Scott Jackson and Alonzo M. Walling were last Eeen together at 0 o'clock on Friday evening , January 31 , entering a cab together at George and Plum ' streets , Cincinnati , and that the cab was driven south In the direction of Fort Thomas. From these findings the coroner holds that Scott Jackson and Alonzo M. Walling are ! iccountablo for the death of Pearl Bryan. Scott Jackson's written statement to his attorney haa been given to the public. It undertakes to tell chronologically his con nection with Iho casa , beginning with Mon- lay of the week of the murJer. That day ' IB says ho received a postal card from Will ] P. Wood , stating that Pearl would arrive In Cincinnati that night. He and Walling went to the two depots , but both missed her. Tuesday morning he received a note from ! I'oarl at college and ho and Walling wont to : ho Indiana hcuso. Ho saw her , but Walling j did not. It was arranged that Walling Eihould , jet a room without letting Jackson know . where It was and perform the operation. Vailing not having found a room , Mlta Bryan went to Herder's for supper and to the In diana housa for the night. IIo does not siy vhero Pearl was Wednesday , except that ho ' old her to meei Walling at Fourth and Ilaco streets at 10 o'clock. Walling left him to i neet her and Jackson saw him no more until Thurslay afternoon at the college. To his question what waa the news Walling an swered : "Everything Is all right ; she la woll. " Jackson -wao at the college until 5:30 : nnl n his room most of the evening. At 0:30 : Walling came In and got tome things from he closet , took the grip and went out. Frl- lay morning Jackson awoke and found Wali ng In bed and they wont to the lecture to- ; other. That day Jackson had his beartl shaved off at the barber's suggestion. Wali ng was out all the afternoon and came In . n the evening and played a game of cardn. I After 0 o'clock Walling took Pearl Bryan's grip , put on his hat and coat nnd went out. , lo did not return until after 3:30 : a. m , , I 'for at that time , " says Jackson , "I awoke and found ho was not la , BO I put out the gas and went to Meop , " I Saturday morning ho found Walling In jo-J. Ho then tells of their going to the ollego on Saturday and In the afternoon oidlng of the murder In the papers. When IB aeked Walling If that was hla case , hla aca turned red and then pale , but he did not answer , "When I asked him what bo did vlth It , Walling simply said , 'I threw It over- oard. ' " Jacktun then tells of their return to- the com and of their pan ! to got rid of Pearl's . lotlics. IIo admits that ho threw a bundle nto the eower and throw aomo things Into 10 Ohio river , The striking points made In this verdict re that Pearl Bryan had been drugged with ocalne and that she was murdered wbero liu body waa found. The evidence as to ocalne waa by Dr. W , II , Crane of ClncJn- atl. who hag not yet quite completed an nalysls of Mies Hryan'a etomach content * . [ o testified that ho had found a quarter of grain of cocaine , and thought he would yet nd more , possibly a whole grain. IIo had ilso found trace. ) of arpenlc and mercury , > ut these were In the embalming fluid , AJB to the decapitation at the place where the body was found , the testimony of the prlvel bushes was Introduced. Twigs and leaves cut from these bushes the morning the body was found showed blood Btalns on the lower aide at heights of from two to six feet from the ground. Ono witness testified that he found foot prints by a woman's shoo under an appla tree near where the body lay. Dr. Caruthers , who made the postmortem , give .the opinion before the Jury today that decapitation was performed where the body was found while there was life In the body. It was done with a sharp knife , or more probably with a surgeon's scalpel. This latter testimony hag an Important bearing on the Jurisdiction over tha prisoners , and there Is little doubt that In lers than twenty- four hours the prisoners will bo Indicted by the Campbell county grand Jury , and will possibly be removed from Ohio to Kentucky for trial. What effect this will have upon the prisoners' disposition to toll the whole truth about the murder Is difficult now to predict. All sewers In the city are full of search ers for Pearl Dryan's head. Miles of towers have been explored without result. Scores of men are examining the fields adjacent to the Alexandria pike , leading from hero to Fort Thomqs. The only real progress made yeUerday and today is In the formation of theories as to the mode of the murder. Now and then a bit of now evidence eliminates errors from lame theories. The most plaus ible theory , now that It has bosn demon strated that cocaine was used , is that the murderer took the girl to a very private lylng-ln place In Kentucky and that they had left the cab on the plko and walked across to whera the murder was committed. Every theory that the girl \\as killed elsewhere - where Knd carried to that spot and left have been r.liandoned. The prisoners are not likely to bo ro- mauded to Kentucky In less than ten days or a fortnight. Their extradition will bo resisted , here In the courts. All Kn > e.
