SILVER BILL CANT WIN. REPRESENTATIVE BLAND SAYS IT Ib SMOTHERED. Strength of the Coinage Hen Given Fair Committee 1 Report Likely to be Too for Action Thli Bellion. D. Feb.

impression is gaining ground, and seems to be well founded, that the silver bill will not be acted on by the House at this session. A great deal of time has been spent in hearing persona who favor and others who oppose the measure, and there seems little likelihood, that the committee will concln'de its work in time for the report to reach the House for action at this session. This is the opinion of many members, and shared-in by Bland and Mr. Bartine, members of the committee. Mr.

Bland declared to-day at the meeting of the committee that he considered the bill already smothered. The silver men made a desperate effort yesterday to save the bill by tacking it onto the sundry civil appropriation bill, but.it failed. The amendment was proposed by Mr. Bland. A point of order was raised by Mr.

Bingley, on the ground that amendment was not made germane to the paragraph to which it was offered ana further changed existing laws. The point was sustained by Mr. Payson, who was chairman of the committee of the whole. Mr. Bland appealed from the decision.

The chair was sustained in its decision by a vote of 134 to 127. When the Chair announced that the vote was to lie taken on the question. "Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the committee?" there was great excitement in the hall, and as Messrs. Cannon and Bland took their places as tellers, nearly every member in the House rose and anxiously watched the count. The following Democrats voted in the affirmative: Messrs.

Andrew, Mutchler, Vaux, Spinola, Dunphy, Wiley and Clancy. The Republicans voted in the negative: Messrs. Carter, Townsend Lind, Bartine, Turner (Kas.j, Kelly, Laws, Connell, Herman and Sweet and Clark The vote was so close that until the last moment was it evident which side would tip When the chair announced the vote to be 134 to 127. the Republican side burst into applause. So the decision was mistained.

Pending the announcement of the vote, Mr. M-udd (Md.) stated that he was paired with Mr. Featherston (Ark.) against the free coinage bill, but not considering the question of sustaining the Chairs decision as a vote on free coinage he bad voted in the affirmative. Mr. Bland suggested that the gentleman from Man-land was violating his pair.

Mr. Dockery (Mo.) moved to strike out the appropriation of $20,000 for re- coinage, and iuKert the words "and BO much as may be necessary to meet the expBnspp of such re-coinage is hereby appropriated out of the silver profit fund." Adopted. I'RRCEEDINOS OF THE COMMITTEE. When the committee met a vote Was taken on the motion pending yesterday to strike out that part of Mr. Eland's resolution directing that hearings close Thursday next It resulted adversely to Mr.

Bland by 8 to and the same fate awaited amendments to fix Friday and Saturday of next week. Mr. Bland stated his object to be to come to a determination for some day when final action should be taken. A motion made by Walker to iold sessions on 'Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each" week was then carried, it being suggested that early meeting of the House precluded morning sessions. Mr.

Bartine said it was not his intention to impugn any member's motives, but he was entirely satisfied from the course of procedure that there never would be any report made by the committee in time for action bv the House during the present session. For that reason he would not bind himself to appear here and fritter away his time. It was simply that much time'and labor lost. He gave notice that he should consider himself absolutely at liberty to take advantage of every opportunity to bring the matter before the House. Mr.

Bland said he considered the bill as smothered now. Of course if it were not reported by the last of next week there was no use in making a report. Mr. Bland's remarks evidently annoyed his opponents, for there was a chorus of dissenting ejaculations from Mr. Vaux, Mr.

Tracey, Mr. Walker and others. Mr. Bland, without taking notice of these interruptions, repeated his declaration and said: "I say the bill is now smothered bv a vote of this committee." He then picked up his hat and left the room, and Mr. Bartine a moment later did the same.

Mr. Williams, of Illinois, said that as long as there was life there was hope, and he would therefore attend the meetings of the committee. made a motion that the chairman ask unanimous consent from the House for permission to sit-during the sessions of the House. Mr. Walker said it was information and not hearings which he wanted, and that as his intention was to be present every minute of the sessions of the committee in order to cross-examine those coming before it, he was opposed to the resolution, as he must be in the House a part of the time.

Mr. Williams' motion was earned by the vote of every member of the committee except Mr. Walker, who gave notice that he should object in the House to unanimous consent being given. 'The hour to which the meeting of the House, at 11 o'clock restricted the session of the committee by this time had almost expired, and the meeting broke up, Mr. Walker first directing attention to the fact that it was the free coinage men who had taken up most of the time of the committee.

Before adjournment a protest against further silver legislation, signed by seventy-nine members of the Chicago Board of Trade, was presented. The Protestants say they believe farther legislation would bo injurious to the business and commercial interests of the country and tend to retard the increasing confidence of the business world. practical value of dairy food commissions, and the-farmers'institutes and the state veterinarian. It is safe to say that should the Democrats abolish either of the three offices they will wish they hadn't, just as, two years from now, they will wish that they hadn't made a tramp oat of the official organ, or passed the Schmitz bill. The farmers appear to be quite mollified toward the railroads this year.

The fact that most of them came to town on the passes that were BO munificently supplied probably had nothing to do with this feeling. Knowing ones rather looked for the appearance of 19 Hod Taylor's railroad bill of two years ago, as a result of' the farmers' convention, one hears nothing of it, and it seems as though a magnifying glass could notdetect a giain of animosity to corporations in the make-up of the sturdy gentlemen of the country-side.

No public announcement has ever been made notwithstanding that the couple have been engaged for over a year, and only a fewin- timate friends were present.

There were no bridegrooms or bridesmaids, the wedding in every respect being strictly private. The bride wore a beautiful dress of white crepe silk, 'with costly pearl ornaments and trimmed with Duchess lace. Her wedding trousseau came from Worih, of Paris, from Chicago and Milwaukee modistes, and ladies who have looked upon it say that it is composed of some of the loveliest creations of the modiste's art. After the ceremony the couple were to the residence of Gen. and Mrs.

Bragg, and, after many tender farewells, left on the 1:25 train for New York City. From there they sail for Guatemala, South America, whither Lieut. Scriven has a World's Fair mission. He is a handsome young man of about 30 years. DAYTON, Feb.

Died at Nassau. NASSAU. N. Feb. Phelan, member of Congress from Memphis, The following correspondence throws a side light showing a glimpse of the delicacy and tenderness of feeling of the lamented William Wisdom, late secretary of the treasury, and of Edwin M.

Stanton, late secretary of war. As expressed by the poet Chester, "no man but has some thoughts too sweet and dear to cast upon the babbling waves of words." 'Those rarer melodies that haunt the soul and in the still cathedral of the mind are hymned like Sabbath anthems are all too sacred to be exposed to the rude light" and gaze of the mass of men, and so it is that 'most men wear a mask seemingly for the express purpose of concealing the divine in them. This thought of the poet will be found exemplified in the following correspondence: TBEASUBY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, July 21, My Dear Mr. WMton: 1 repeated a few days ago in the presence of Mr. Guthridge.

one of the Washington correspondents of-the New York Herald, the interesting and pathetic story you related to me Of an incident whicn came under your observation showing the firmness, and at the same time tenderness, of Mr. Stanton's character while Secretary of War. I propose placing on one of the denominations of the new silver notes the portrait of the great War Secretary, and Mr. Guthridge in writing an article in this connection desires to use this story. I refer to the soldier who was condemned to be shot, and whose mother and wife and children were pleading for the pardon.

Remembering that you entertained an intention to put in print some recollections of Stanton, 1 do not feel at liberty to authorize the publication of the incident without your permission. If you are willing that Mr. Guthridge shall use it, please inform me at once and also give me the name of the soldier, the state ne was from and the act for which he was condemned, if you.rememberthem. If you have the time to do so I shall be very glad to have you sketch the story yourself and send it to me for Mr. Guthridge.

Sincerely yours, WILLIAM WIXPOM.

Sarah Bernhardt has a dazzling array of gowns in stock tor her American tow. Most of them were made by Laferriere, whom Sarah has made famous. Her gowns for "Camille" are entirely new. One of these is an evening gown of boutona d'or satin, covered with green tulle embroidered with' snowballs and bontons d'or, which are yellow bachelors' buttons. The train of this gown is of the same figured satin, covered with snowballs and yellow bachelors' buttons and trimmed with a bow of yellow plumes.

In another act she will wear a beautiful silver gray crepe de chine made with a blouse waist, trimmed with Venetian lace, which will form almost the entire waist To this there will be a narrow Henry II. collar of the same crepe de chine lying upon the shoulders. Perhaps the most beautiful of the gowns is one she will wear in "Fedora." Tina is an evening gown, having a skirt of black satin completely covered with jet and black silk trimming. The train is of black satin, lined with sky- blue satin and trimmed with two boas, black and sky-blue. Ribbons of black satin, crossed very low, form the girdle.

Upon one shoulder is an immense bow of sky-blue satin with streamers, bv which the fan will be. held. In such a gown Sarah will look a most fascinating widow. With-it goes a long cloak of sky-blue plush. It has a big Russian collar, about the edge of which and down the front runs a magnificent boa of black fur.

July 22, My Dear Mr. Window: Repl3'ing to your letter of 21st received this evening, I will say at once that Mr. Guthridge is at liberty to use the story referred to in the way you suggest. When one is inspired by the genial presence and hearty sympathy of a friend it is easy to recall, relate and impress upon the heart and memory of his listener the pathetic incidents which have come under observation, but realizing that the.

pen is made ot cold steel, quite destitute of sympathy or sentiment, 1 doubt niy ability to write of the great War Secretary's and tenderness in such a way as to do justice to his character. I do the I can, but please ask Mr. Guthridge to edit or rewrite and clothe the story with some of the inspiration and heart throbs with which you invested it in your recital to him. With this as an introduction I will proceed with the storv. As you know, I was in charge of "the headquarters office of the United States rMilitary Railway Department at Washing- 1911 during che war.

By virtue of my offi- 'cial position I had frequent occasions to with Secretary Stanton. It was his jhabit to give me immediate audience, and I do not remember a single instance when failed of giving prompt attention to all matters called to his attention bearing upon the movement of troops and the forwarding of supplies to the army. One evening at about 10 o'clock I went to tbe War Department to confer with the Secretary, and found him in the outer public room listening to the pleadings of- the mother, the wife and children of the man condemned to death for desertion. The wife and mother were on their knees wringing their hands, and in tears and broken utterances pleading for the life of protector. Mr.

Stanton stood before them erect and calm, without manifesting slightest feeling of tenderness or sympathy. As I watched and 'listened. with moist eyes to tbe agonizing words poured fourth by tbe supplicants, 1 wondered how it was possible for a human being to hear such pleading and not have his heart stirred to its depths with sympathy, and when tbe Secretary in cold, if not haigh words, denied their prayer and told them the man must die. it seemed to me as though he was a demon, and the Very embodiment of all that was severe, harsh and tyrannical. The prayer of the pleaders being denied.

Mr. Stanton turned and passed rapidly into his private office. For a brief moment I watched the departure from the room of the brokenhearted and weeping women. Distressed and agitated beyond my power to express, I forgot myself and followed the Secretary into his private room without being announced. Not until I was fairly in and had taken one or two Steps did I realize what 1 was doing.

Mr. Stantoii, with his back toward me, was alone hi ihe room, with his face buried in hands that were resting upon a table. His whole frame was convulsed by Shot His Sweetheart. 111., Feb. Blanche Clement was shot down at her father's door, at 95 Blue Island 'Avenue, last night, by her lover, Jesse Osborne.

With a married sister she had gone to tbe Church of Kotre Dame, on Sibley Street, to seek the services ot a priest at a sick bed. When the sisters hurried down the avenue from the church, and were about to turn in at tneirown door, Osborne met them. He implored the girl to marry him, charring her, at the same time, with having gone to the theater with another. The girl tried to escape, when the man drew a revolver and fired twice. One bullet tore a large hole in Blanche Clement's left side, an inch below the heart, the other striking the girl in the foot.

Osborne then fired a bullet into his own breast. He buttoned his overcoat over the bleeding wound and went to a neighboring barber shop and commenced shaking dice with a party of friends for the cigars. "By the way," said one' of the men, "what was that shooting outsidea while ago?" "Oh, nothing," replied Osborne; "a fellow just shot his girl and himself. That's all. Let's see; I've got aces fours," and all the while his blood was rushing from him.

It was just then that Officers Grady and Daily, of the Desplaines Street station, swung into tbe shop and arrested Osborne. when their big mittens fell on his shoulders he fainted, and was trundled to the county hospital in a patrol wagon. He will die, and the girl cannot live. Osborne is a barber. was admitted to practic in the supreme court the other day.

The Democratic hold-overs are Senators Fetzer, Apple, Kosnitzer, Yahr. Kingston, Voss, Nash, Pratt, Woodnorth, Greene, MacBride, Falconer, Lees, Conner, and Horn. The Republican hold-overs are Senators Paul- Bechtner and" E. J. Barge.

A practical Republican member of the Senate made the prediction to-day that the Senate of 1893 would be Democratic by about the same majority as at present, or possibly one more. It is pretty evident that the state of Wisconsin can hardly have a Republican Senate before 1893. Speaking of the result of the vote-on the Fetzer-Scofield contest, a gentleman said to-day: "Senators Persons and Nash lost an opportunity of holding the balance of power by casting their votes in favor of Fetzer. Witn Scofield seated, they could have defeated any measure that they chose by voting with the Republicans.

Overwhelmed with the thought of having intruded at such a moment, and seeing that he was not aware of my presence, I attempted to silently retire when my foot struck -something, making ,1 noise, and like a flash Mr.

tstanton, raising his head, saw me; the tears were streaming down his face, and for a second 1 felt a desire to sink through the floor; but recovering myself. I said: "Pardon me, Mr. Secretary, I regret having intruded upon you unannounced, but agitated by wnut I had witnessed in the outer room I was not con- scions of what did. and would have withdrawn unobserved." He is all right Take a seat: it will be some relief to my feelings to talk with yon." We both sat down, and he then spoke most tenderly of the poor mother, wife and children, and of bis great distress at having to deny their petition. But desertion from the army had become so frequent; no one bad as yet been pnnisbed; an example had to be made, or our army would disintegrate and the country be broken up and mined.

He said that af an individual his heart was full of tenderness, but as a war secretary It was' duty to crush out all feeling when the indulgence of it would work disaster to the nation. Much more was said, but I have given the substance of an Interview which enabled me to look deep into Mr. Stanton's heart and ever after love and reverence aim as one of, if not the of the men who In the providence of God were raised up to defend and secure to the people of this country the preservation of the Union.
