Mr Mills--Then you ought not to stop thB gentleman from Tennessee now The Speaker--That does not follow. Mr Mills-It does follow. The Speaker--Tne Chair doei not desire to enter Into any personal controversy with the gentleman, and he thinks that if tbe ntleman will reflect he not persist In the impropriety. Mr. Mills--I do not see the Impropriety when one gentleman charges another with fraud.

'avorable Outlook for the Tellei Free-Coinage Bill mum AWAITING TRIAL The Bearing Sea Queation-Diicussed in Caucus--The Albatross and the Ranger --Artesian Irrigation In Dakota and Other States. The Free Coinage Question. WASHISGTOS, April looks to- ight as though the Senate would pass he Teller Free Coinage bill or aome- hing very like it. To-morrow the Caserns Administration bill will likely be lisposed of, and the next business on the calendar to be considered under the or- ler arranged by tho steering committee 3 the Jones Silver bill. Tho attempt to-day to get the caucus committee to- rether to pass upon the silver question vas a failure, and it does not seem ikely that the committee will be able to do any thing before the matter comos up for consideration in the Senate.

As was stated in the United Press dispatches nearly a month ago, the Democrats in the Senate will vote for roe coinage--that is, enough of them will vote for free coinage to put upon the Republican members frem the West the onus of rejecting free coinage if it is rejected. The silver men, with the exception of Mr. Teller, are willing to accept a compromise for the sake oi getting some legislation on tho subject through Congress and past the Execu tive, but one of them said to a United Press reporter yesterday afternoon: There is no use in putting through a free coinage measure to bo vetoed by President, for then we would have no legislation at all. We are willing to accept something which we are sure the Administration will approve, and which will increase the volume of currency." But now it seems inevitable that the matter will come before the Senate in such form that the Republicans from the Western States will have to vote for free coinage or appear in a false light before their people. If a free- Coinage poposition is made in the Senate it will command tho votes of the Senators from Oregon, Nevada, Montana, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas; at least one from Minnesota, Mr.

Stanford, of California, Mr. Evarts, of New York, and possibly both Mr. Cameron and Mr. Quay of Pennsylvania. With a few the Senators will pass a "free-coinage bill.

The Western Senators confidently look lor this result in the Senate. They expect the House to pass tho caucus measure, and when both houses have acted, they will feel free to vote for a compromise proposition without injuring their political standing at homo. Chinaman In Jail. WASHINGTON, April Coon, Chinese inspector at San Diego, reports to Chief Inspector Tingle, of the Treasury Department that he has now in jail waiting trial twenty-six Chinamen, one Portuguese and the captain of tho sloop "Benicia Boy," for violations of tho Chinese Exclusion act. Theocaptain of the Benicia Boy confessed that he was employed by parties in San Francisco, and that regular contracts are entered into in China by which, for the safe delivery in the United United States, the contracting parties are to receive 8149 por head for Chinamen.

Inspector Coon says he has now under arrest one of the principal parties and is on the track of others. Whether Chinamen land in Mexico or British Columbia, he says their ultimate destination is to tho United States, and it is almost impossible to prevent them from coming over the border by night. The Behrln? Sea Question. WASHINGTON, April is apparently good authority for the statement that tho governments of the United States and Great Britain are now further apart in their negotiations in regard to the question as to whether or not Behring Sea is a closed sea, than they have been at any time since the negotiations were begun. The United States maintains that it it a closed sea, and was mado so by the treaty of 1825, while the British Government contends that that treaty does not at all cover the case.

Discussed In Caucus. WASHINGTON, April McComas bill to prevent tho "Gerrymandering" ol Congressional election districts, and tho Merrill Service-pension bill were the subjects discussed by the cau- cuSof Republican members of the House last night. The Gerrymandering bill went over until another caucus. The Merrill Pension bill was amended by a proposition to flx the age limitation at bixty years, and the caucus at midnight adjourned. The Albatross and tho Ranter.

WASHINGTON, April Navy Department is informed that the Fish Commission steamer Albatross having bee thoroughly repaired at Maro Island Navy-yard, California, will now proceed to tho Aleutian Islands. The Ranger was Monday put on dock at Mare Island, and the work of refitting her wiLl be continued night and day. Artesian Irrigation.

LABOR MATTERS.

of Probable Strikes. CHICAGO. April was reported yesterday afternoon that the sixteen hundred employes of the McCormack Harvesting Machine Company were ready to strike on May 1 for higher wages and eight hours a day. Mr. Butler, the general manager of the company, stated to a United Press reporter last evening that there is no foundation to the rumor; that the men had made no complaint, and as far as he knew were perfectly satisfied.

Several of the workmen, however, expressed their belief that there would be trouble on May 1. It is also reported the one thou sand men employed in the Malleable Iron-works will strike May 1 for the eight-hour day. Nothing to be Apprehended. CHICAGO, April there has been an order issued calling upon the militia to hold themselves in readiness in anticipation of trouble on May 1, the officers know nothing ol it Colonel Zcig- fiold, of the Second regiment, said yesterday he did not believe any such order had been issued. There is nothing to apprehend, he continued, from the parade of the workingmen.

The only disturbance at all likely to occur is from the Socialist and Anarchist factions. Colonel Zeigfleld said under the present condition of things two hours would suffice to have the whole regiment ready for duty. Will Boycott Their Employers. BOSTON, April secret meeting ot the striking employes of J. P.

Squires Company was held yesterday morning. Master-workman Mellen said to a reporter that the workmen find that the conciliatory spirit goes for naught with Mr. Squires, so "fight" must be the word. "The men said Mr. Mellen "have prepared a list of all grocers and provision dealers who have dealt with J.

P. Squires, and organized labor will be asked to co-operate with them in im preasing these dealers with tho justness of letting Squires alone. Lumber Interests Seriously Afieoted.

MCNIKL, Notary Public, Cayuga County. Judge Wallace's Reason. NEW YOHK, April Wallac says that in granting the Kemmle habeas corpus writ he upheld views counsel making the application, tha inasmuch as the case was one of lifi and death the question involved shoul' bo passed upon by the highest tribuna in the land. The question as to th validity of the delegation of power to a sheriff to fix the time and circumstance of the death of a condemned man, wa a serious one. The Judge intimated that the restric tion of the liberty of the press was also question to be considered, but ho did no say positively that this was one of tho reasons for granting the writ.

Tho question of the cruelty or unusual nature of the punishment would be considered by the Supreme Court There wore other questions involved, but the Judge did not care to extend the interview which was granted at a very late hour.

Last Saturday he was arrested at the instance of his first wife, and the 18-year old second wife promptly went into hysterics and has not yet recovered. Dr.

West claimed on the trial that he believed wife No. 1 was dead and buried when he married wife No. 2. bis statement was under consideration in court when a third lady appeared and claimed prior rights over both the other wives. At this climax the doctor relapsed into a tit of sham insanity, from which he was euddenly awakened by the point of a revolver in the hands of a brother of his 18-year old victim being thrust under his nose.

The yonng man was prevented from doing him an injury but the too affectionate physician is safe for a long term in prieon.
