Washington-, Jan. 2.-.si,mtor Stewart,
cf Nevada, last night senj the followimf
h-tter to ex-tiovernor HilL of New York,
criticizing tlie latu-r's potion on the sil-M-r
question: t
".My Dkai: Sii:: Tt you .-Ve in favor cf
five bimetallic coinage on t,e ratio now
established by law why rf Vou take
pains to repudiate Nevada? Nevada is,
..and always has lst-ii since f4,lver was
j!emoncticd, in favor f restoring th
rhite metal to the j.hiee it occupied as
ioney previous to the passage of the mint
net of is;:!.
, Note a Little Inconsistency.
! "In your Klmira speech yon advocated
free bimetallic-coinage. In your Albany
speech on New Year's eve you advocated
tiie reM-al of the net of W
which gives the people more money by ihn
difference lift ween silver certificates issued
on the coinage of 2t,0u0,(ioti worth of silver
per Hinmm and the amount of treasury
notes issued in the purchase of f4.00O.'0
ounces of silver bullion each year. You
also propose to deny to the farmers and
planters the benefit of the enhanced price
of silver in which the'value of their pro
ducts is measured.
Bland Akel to Obey the ":11 Trust."
fcThe lead of Nevada for free coinage
seems odious to you, although the lead of
the Chamber of Commerce of New York, a
representative body of the gold trust, you
follow with alacrity. The gold trust,
through the Chamber of Commerce, de
mands the repeal of the act of 1S!K). You
echo that demand, and advise Mr. Bland,
the chairman of t he house committee on
coinage, to obey it. If he will do so, and
pretend to be for free coinage while legis
lating to limit the use of silver, you as
sure hi tu of the respect, admiral ion and
Mipport of the Democracy of New York. .
"Same Old Coon a-Settin' on a Hail."
"Are you aware. Mr. Hill, that this is the
old story; that the people of the south and
west have lieen assured ever since silver
was rejected as money of t he respect ami
admiration of the New York Democracy if
they would co-operate with the represen
tatives of the gold trust in contracting the
real money of the world- to gold alone.
There is no doubt that every sieculator in
Asiatic, products who buys cheap silver in
the United States, coins it into riiees or
other Asiatic money and exchanges it at
par in Asia for wheat, cotton and other
products, and pockets t he difference, will
admire and support any western man who
will aid in perpetuating t his extortion.
STEWART HAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
Came Near Keniltiig the ;vertior I'n
leerveil CiiiKrt tilxt inns.
kYour Klmira speech stripped of the
suggestion of the employment of the cuttle-fish
policy to deceive the people would
have met with the unbounded gratitude
and admiration of the producers of "wealth
in the United States. I was so much im
pressed with your utterances in favor of
free bimetallic coinage that I prepared a
letter of congratulation to you. and re
frained from sending it on account of the
concluding portion of that speech, where
in you suggested the possibility of obtain
ing a partisan advantage by non-action
during the present session of congress, be
cause t he president and a majority of the
senate were ficpublican. ami might share
in the popularity sure to follow the free
Co natre of silver.
The Senator (irons Intiiilive.
fMr. Mill, have you discovered that that
nr( Sherman lawj must inevitably lead to
lii-iietaliic coinage to prevent the depreci
ation of silver? Do you know that there
are nearly K"0,Oiin.oii of silver coin in the
United States, including bullion, await
ing coinage, and that no means is pro
vided by law for the redemption of the
treasury notes issued under t lie act of ls-
except the gold and silver coin received for
duties and taxes and t he silver coin pro
duced from the bullion acquired tinder
that act Has the gold trust ascertained
t hat t here is no possibility under existing
law of accumulating sutlicient gold to pay
the nat iotial debt and redeem the outstand
ing greenback and- legal tender treasnry
notes issued for the purchase of silver with
out a very large use of silver coin for such
purposes? Do you see that the existing
law must inevitably force all parties to ad
vocate free bimetallic-coinage?
Some 1'iilnters for the Democracy.
"I am sorry, if you an- really in favor of
free bimetallic coinage, as" declare! iu
your Klmira speech, that you have fallen,
into the trap set by the gold trust and are
now willing to aid them in their efforts to
confine the real money of the world to gold
alone. If the Democracy of the south and
west adopt your policy and make a retro
grade movement at the present session of
congress the people will place very little
contidence in promises to restore free
coinage when your party shall have ol
taiucd control of every department of the
goTcrnment.

opportunity. I't ' assure you. my dear

the governorship of Nebraska and re

TENNESSEE'S ARMY MOVES.
A l'rospect that There Will He Stirring
Nen from the Coal Kegions.
Xashvim.k, Jan. 2. The standing
army of Tennessee, composed of IDS men,
three months' supplies, Catling guns and
regulation outfit, left for the mines Thurs
day night on a spec-mi train under com
mand of Brigadier Genei-al Carnes and
Adjutant General Norman. The battalion
was swelled by iiumlK-rs until possibly 250
men were enlisted when they reached the
scene of the recent troubles. Three hun
dred convicts were on the train and will be
put to work in the mines again.
liad Outlook for the "Army."
The stockades have lieen rebuilt and en
larged and the miners will have serious
oppositional reaching them if hostilities
are renewed. Generals Carnes and Nor
man are empowered to make a draft on
the state for oliinteers in case serious
trouble is expected. The opinion over the
suite is that when the miners find what
has la-en done t hey will arm themselves
and sweep the handful of soldiers oft the
earth.
Charges Against a I.alior Otneial.
Of the fino convicts who were released in
the uprising at Briccvillc, Oliver Springs
and Coal Creek over iVi are still at large.
Special correspondents accompanied the
troops in anticipation of trouble. Kvery
thing has ln-en staggered lately by the sen
sational charges that Assistant Commis
sioner of I-ahor Allenian. a state official, i
guilty of high treason against the state, a
crime punishable only by hanging.
Alleinan Needn't Worry Himself.
It is charged that just liefore the upris
ing of the miners Alieman went about
among them inciting them to the move
ment. Allenian conferred M-rsonally with
the leaders of the big mob and made
sH-echcs to them. The niatn-r came up
In-fore the legislat lire in nu informal way
and a resolution was introduced to have an
investigation ordered. but ."influenc"
stopped this. Allenian is to be tried by
a court martial unless Governor Buchanan
interferes.
Threats of Violence Already.
Humors have rcachi-d here that the
miners ,H) heard of the coming of the
sjiecial train and conspired to wreck it and
release the convicts. This news was sent
to Governor Buchanan who notiticd Gen
eral Norman and every care was taken to
prevent this.

lyiMioN, Jan. 1. Kllen Terry's costumes
for her role in Henry VIII mark the acme
of modern achievement in stage adorn
ment. The British Museum lias la-en ran
sacked for drawings of the period, and it ia
claimed that absolute historical accuracy
has lM-en maintained in the beautiful and
artistic costumes devised. Iu the first
scene Miss Terry wears a long trained robe
of gray brocade, interwoven with steel
adorned appliques and embroidered in dull
gold. The sleeves are long and full. The
skirt opens in front over a pet t icoat be
jeweled and heavily einbi-oidered. The
hair is worn in a tight coil, a black and
gold rap hiding the tresses.
In the second act the gown is entirely .'
of black brocade, the only relief being a
gold border on 1 he cap and a fur liorder on
the sleeve. The third costume ia of
Tyrian purple brocatel, with high stand
ing collar of black fur and wing-shaped
fiir-lMirdered sleeves, the small head dress
matc hing. The fourth is entirely white
and may be described as a sort of ideal
ized modern tea gown, with telling re
flects of dead gold here aud there. Miss
Terry wears no cap with this costume, but
her false white hair falls loosely beneath
light muslin draia-ry. The hair was Miss
Terry's mother's, ami u as cut off close for
