Senate Silver Bill Reported Un
favorably to House.
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL AMENDED.
Appropriation for Purchase of Fort
Orchard Site Cut to SIO,OOO.
Ki-Govsrasr Charles Foster, of Ohio
Appointed Secretary of the Treasury
—Democrats Oppose Nicaragua Canal
In Senate—Filibustering in House.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 21.—The adverse re
port of the majority of the Ilotfse coinage com
mittee on the hfeuate free coinage bill, says in
part:
"Under the present act |54,000.000 annually is
being added to the volume of the currency of
the country iu the form of treasury notes for
bullion purchased. This largely exceeds the
contraction in the way of retirement of bank
notes, and in ten years would at the same rate
gradually add to the volume of the currency,
above the amount .>f bank notes, should they all
be retained, $360,000,000. The secretary of the
treasury states that the amount of the surplua
of silver in the world, above the amount used in
the arts and coinage, in all other countries than
thol'uitcd States wa.«, ior IH.XB, 139,500,000. If
this estimate is correct, under the present law
theic is a provision for using the world's sur
plus, which is ail that unlimited coinage could
accomplish. It is said, however, that the de
mand of the present law does not call for
all the silver surplus, and that there is
now "bearing" the market 15,000,000 ounees,
which is sufficient to keep-down the price of sil
vei to its present selling figure. Whether these
15,000,000 ounces arc likely to remain a threat to
the market, or whether they are used by design
ing persons as a temporary means to depress the
price, is a matter upon which intelligent per
sons who have appeared before the committee
diner. This can be determined by a contiuuance
of the present policy of buying uo more than the
4,'100.000 ounces monthly providing for bvthe
existing law. If the pressure of the 15,000,000
ounces is continued only for the purpose of ef
fecting some change in the legislation, it will
soou be permitted to go its way: if, on the other
hand, it is an actual excess over the demand, it
will be easy at any future time for <-ongrcss to
provide for its absorption into the volume of the
currency.
Treasary notes issued under the present law
are legal tender. This Is the highest
function that could be given silver under
free coinage, so that under the existing law we
have provision for the use of all silver that
would be brought to the mints under free coin
age (assuming the world's surplus to be as al
ready stated). The money issued has all the
legal qualities and purchasing powers of coined
money, and in addition is confined practically
to the American product, so the United States is
out of all the danger so strenuously insisted
upon by many |>ersons, of the flooding of our
market with the silver of the world. The pres
ent law, at the time of its passage, was declared
by many ardent supporters of free coinage to be
satisfactory. The conditions are substantially
the same as then. If the present law, when
passed, promised to all intents and purposes the
use of the American product and authorized the
issue of money as good for all purposes as coined
silver, it is not now evident to the committee
wherein it has failed in its promise, nor where
it is in the future likely to fail to accomplish
that desirable end.
BISATE PROCEEDINGS.
Teat and Turpfe Violently Oppose the
Nicaragua Canal Bill.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 21.—The sundry civil
appropriation bill was reported.
The Nicaragua canal bill was taken up and
Morgan addressed the Senate in defense of Ed
munds, referring to the misunderstanding as to :
the amount of capital stock subscribed for by
the construction company (it appearing in the
committee's report as He said he
had a telegram from the president of the com
paying, saying that it was misprint for 91,000,000.
Commenting on Vest's references to the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty, Morgan asked whether sena
tors were to take ofl' their hats to Victoria, and
say "By leave of your majesty." -'That, he said,
was not the American view of the question.
It bad not been BO ssuce the davs of President*
Monroe, and never would be. Not a move had
ever been made iu the Senate in the direction
which the bill aimed at, that had not been met
by somebody with a threat of the Clavton-Bul
wer treaty. He was tired of it. The subsidy
argument was totally irrelevant becanse the
United States would never have to pay a dollar
of it. The bill did not infringe on a'uy of the
conditions of the treaty. Uc repudiated that
treaty as having been a fraud at the time it was
made, and having been ruthlessly and auda
ciously violated by the British government since
that time.
Vest said there could not be a more unfavor
able time for such a bill, when the Farmers'
Alliance were demanding legislation considered
visionary. It would never do to refuse that
legislation and at the same time guarantee 9100,-
00(1,000 of the bonds of a corrnany organised in
New York to be spent on foreign" territory, and
in the employment of Jamaica negroes, "dagos,"
Indians and Chinamen. >
Turpie st>oke against the bill, declaring him
self against any subsidy schemes.
Stewart's amendments providing that the
chief of engineers of the armv shall have super
vision and control of the canal was disagreed to,
23 to 25. The bill then went over without
action.
The conference report on the navy appropria

HOISE PROCEEDINGS.
Democratic Filibustering Continued-
Bill Fixing .fudges' Salaries Passed.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb.2l.-In tbe House this
morning there was a stormy time over the ap
proval of the journal. Pithian and Springer
insisted on having it read in full, and several
Democrats protected vigorously against the
action of the speaker in counting them to make
a quorum yesterday. Turner of t.eorgia said he
had voted for the yeas and nays, and then left
the House in as dignified a manner as possible.
McKinley got the floor and would not yield to
any of the Democrats and a tremendous uproar
ensued, in the midst of which Spinola, placing
a strip of paper on his shoulder, threateningly
turned that shoulder toward the Republicans.
The acting speaker pro tem (Payson) called
him to order.
Finally the journal was approved and the
Senate bill tiling the salaries of United states
district Judge* at |.%IW> was taken up, with Me-
Millms amendment to reduce the salaries to

present salaries be increased Ijoo. Both were

with H favoraMe recommendation.

Engineer* Report on Hydraulic Mining.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 21.— Th6 secretary of
war today submitted to congress the report of
the commission of army engineers which in
vestigated the raining debris question in Cali
fornia. The report says:
Hydraulic mining can be prosecuted without
injury to farming lands or rivers in the mining
region of the Klamath and its tributaries. The
navigation of rivers in the Sacramento valley,
it says, has been injured by hydraulic mining
through the deposit of vast quantities of mining
debris in the valleys oi tne Sacramento ana
Feather rivers, in addition there are vaat de
posits of material which will be carried down
during floods, and eventually loat in these
streams. It is proposed to improve the rivers,
first, by restraining the debris now
lodged in the canons of the Yuba
and Bear, aud in the plains below, by
dams and other restraining means; second, by
contracting the width of the rivers by brusn
wing-dams in their beds. The system of re
straint will be continued until the rivers in
their improved condition can carry the material
brought down. Estimates for these improve
meuts are: Feather river, wing-dams, $»X).000;
Sacramento river, wing-dams, 1300,000; dam on
Yuba river at Dezucrns point, from *OOO,OOO to
1610,000, according to height: dam on Bear river
at Van Giesens, $l- r >o,000; restriction works on
the Yuba, below the foothills, 1300,000, and
120,000 annually for maintaining navigation on
the Feather.

KILLED BY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Typhoid Fewer Laughs at Silent Prayer
—Death the Result of Faith.
DES MOINES, Feb. 21.— Much interest is felt
here in the investigation of the death of Will
iam Protzman, who, it was alleged, died under
Christian science treatment. Protzman was 24
years old and had good health until l>ecember 17
last, when he was attacked with colic, which
grew into typhoid fever. The jury found he
had received no medical treatment except
"silent prayer;" that dietary rules were disre
farded, and that he WHS otherwise neglected,
he conclusion of the jury is that Protzman
came to his death by reason of the practicing
upon him of the teaching of an association of
persons calling themselves "Christian Scien
tist®," and from no other cause. The jury
further says that, in their opinion, Protzman
would have lived had proper treatment been
given him. It is expected arrests will be mads
later on.

a Farewell Volley.
A Sorrowful Army Marches Through
the Streets of St. Louis, Kseortlng
the Dust of the Conqueror—The Gen
eral's Son Reads the Catholle Service.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.— St. Louis today bade an
impressive farewell to General Sherman. For
the first time in several days the sun shone out
gloriously, but its rays fell upon a city draped in
mourning. The hearts of the people were sad
denea, and with one accord all manner of men
abandoned their earthly pursuits and assembled
along the line of the funeral procession to do
homag% to the honored dead. It was a soldier's
funeral, the funeral of a general, but not alone
of one whose last journey waa attended with
honors due his rank, but of an officer beloved by
the army and honored by the people. For miles
the streets were lined with a solid wall of peo
ple, standing at least a dozen deep. The grief of
those in the procession was not alone genuine,
but apparent to everyone.
The dead general's comrades of Ransom Post
marched in a hollow square about the caisson,
and every face wore that solemn look which
said too plainly for words, "I have lost a
friend."
Following the caisson was a handiul of the
old Thirteenth infantry, Sherman's first com
mand in the war, a small and grief-stricken body
of men, following their oldVader over a road
which they too must travel at no very dis
tant day. There were besides thousands of vet
erans of the war, members of the Grand Army,
old and grizzled comrades in arms of the dead
general. Slowly they walked, and only too
plainly was it written that the ravages of time
were fast depleting their ranks. Yet none of
them were so old or feeble that they would ad
mit, even to themselves, that they were taxing
their strength in followiug Sherman to Calvary,
even as they had followed him to Savannah.
While there was no order, in the full sense of
the word, the jam of people coming in from the
various intersecting streets when the procession
started was something terrible. On Pine street
alone it was estimated there were gathered over
100,000 people. Marching through Pine street
the magnificence of the military display waa
best seen. Truly it was Just what the old hero
wanted—a military funeral. The heavy rumble
of artillery, the clatter of cavalry horses' hoofs
on the pavement, mingled with the clang and
jingle of the sabre and spar, and steady tramp,
tramp of infantry, as the column passed, made a
spectacle never to be forgotten.
The train carrying the remains of General
Sherman left Indianapolis last night at 11 p. m.
and members of the party retired for the night
soon after. When Terre Haute was reached, at
12:07 a. m., their slumber was disturbed by
heavy discharges of a battery saluting the train.
Notwithstanding the hour 2,000 people were at
the station, and another stop of an hour wss
made.
All through the rest of the night the train
sped on. Just after sunrise, at \ andalia, 111.,
the heavy discharge of cannon awakened all on
the train. A stop of twenty minutes was made
to afford the peo;le a chance to see the casket
At every little cro i s road, as the train neared
here, were groups of people. All stood uncovered,
as the train passed. This mark of respect was
universal during the entire trip from New York.
East St Louis was reached at 8:15. A large
crowd, mostly railroad men, was gathered here.
After a few momenta' stop the train started
across the bridge.
Flags all over the city were at half-mast.
Many of the buildings and stores were draped in
mourning, and black-framed portraits of the
dead general could be seen in numberless win
dows. Business in the city was entirely sus
pended, and the streets filled with neople.
The day was all that could be far as
sunshine and cool, clear air w«t3c>; but
the streets were very muddy from the recent
rainstorms. To this storm is due largelv the
meager mourning decorations. At the union
depot and in all the streets in the vicinity im
mense crowds of people were assembled.
The funeral train arrived at 8:30. As it crossed
the bridge a salute from a battery announced
its approach. Emerging from the tunnel the
train was compelled to proceed slowly while the
police cleared the track of people.

and comrades of the dead general could have
been seen weeping on all sides. General How
ard and General Slocum were so overcome they
could not speak for nereral minutes.
The order to march was then given, and in
fantry companies wheeled iutoline and marched
to Eleventh street, followed by the caisson, on
either side of which 400 members of Hansom
had arranged themselves.

TH* DAVIS MILLIONS.
**W riKhttng Chance* Taken by the
Contestant* Every Day.
Helena,Feh. 21.—(Special.)—Important action
has been taken by the contestants for the mill
ions left by Banker Davis, of Butte, which will
precipitate another bitter fight over prelimi
naries. Contestant Henry A. Root today filed a
petition in the district court of Sil
ver Bow county asking for revoca
tion of the order appointing John
A. Davis administrator, on the grounds that he
ha* failed to file the required bond of 95,000,000;
that he has offered for probata a will which
names him as sole legate, which Instrument
contestants claim to be a forgery, and that be
has procured an assignment from Jeff Davis, of
lowa, an alleged Bon of the late banker of all hla
claim to the estate. The coiitcstanta propose to
push this matter to the bitter end.
Henry Root and Marie Cummings filed a
furthe* petition asking for the removal of the
speHal administrator, James Talhot, who tbey
allege is a witness upon behalf of John A. Davia
in certain matters to come up in court later.
Ob Monday last, notice was given bv counsel
for John A. Davis that the testimony of J. O.
Seance, the only living witness to tlie alleged
will, would be taken at Bloomfield, lowa, bv
a commission and but five days were allowed
for filing cross inU-rrojjatories. Colonel
Ingersoll and Nathaniel Myers prepared tha in
terrogatories in New York and sent them by
wire to Helena, making a dispatch of over fc,ofO
words, which were filed this afternoon in the
district court at Butte. Scsnc* Is questioned
relative to certain indictments alleged to have
been found against him for stealing holies, and
also rigidly cross-examined regariline tbc will.
The fon tofts nt* hope to develop the theor*-
they advaucc that the will is a forgery, and
Seance has been bribed to carry out his part in
the transaction by smearing that he saw A. J.
Davis execute and sign the instrument making
his brother, John A. Davis, the sole possessor of
the vast estate. The contestants denounce the
whole proceedings as a conspiracy to defraud
the rightful heirs, and every inch of the ground
will be fought desperately.
HAWAIIAN CABLE COMMENT.
Ssa FnuielMo Mcrchanti HcgaM th»
Enterprise with Favor.
BAH FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.— Merchants and MEA
of influence are greatly interested la the
Hawaiian cable proceedings:
Captain William Merry said: "A Hawaiian
and Australian cable would be of great benefit
to the C nited states, and especia'ly to Ran Fran
cisco. The projected connection with the
Farallon islands is of minor advantage in in
creasing its usefulness. Honolulu will beooma
a port of call and a coaling station when the
Central American canal is completed, and «*»<§
will make the cable still more valuable."
Adolph Sprockets said: "The United Statee
should control any cable that may ba laid to the
Hawaiian islands/ Our commercial Interest in
the islands alone warrants this. If any foreign
power should lay a cable to the Islands they
would simply derive their revenue from levying
a toll upon American commeroe."
D. A. McKinley, the Hawaiian consul, ts deeply
interested and watches carefully all develop
ments in legislation on the subject "The
islands want a cable, and we think yon ought to
want it still more," be said. "We are willing to
give a liberal srabsidv, and the American govern
ment should, not be beck ward in aiding In every
way an enterprise that affects her in so many
ways."
Frank James, superintendent of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, said: "I consider
the plan entirely feasible, out I don't think it
well to pay the projectors. As to the benefits we
will derive throughout the country, there is no
question. The advantage)! seem only too appa
rent. Its Importance from a political is even
greater than from a commercial view. Hn
oubtedly the government should see to it that
the cable is laid under American control."
SIR JOHN MACDONALD'A PLAN.
Mutual Tariff for England, Canada and
as Against Americans.
NswYoaK.Feb. 21.—A Hcra'd Montreal spe
cial says: lam informed by a personal friend
of Mr John Macdonald that it is the letter's in
tention, If re-elected, to move for overtures to
Great Britian and Australia with a view of ar
ranging a mutual tariff as against the western
world. Imperial fiscal union is looked upon
with a good deal of favor hero by both I. literals
and Conservatives, and it would surprise no one
should a commission be appointed to negottata
with the home government on the matter. It it
said that Sir John may even go over himself ...id
leave the government in the hands of birCha lee
Tupper, who would agaiu have to eater activa
politics and represent some constituency.
It is believed that Mr John is having a groat
deal of trouble with manufacturers who are de
manding pledges of higher duties as the price of
their support, and I was told by a prominent
manufacturer that duties on both flour and coal
would be increased should the Conservatives ba
successful.
PARIS. Feb. 21.—The Journal Dt* Debatt ex
presses hope, in the interest of Europeans gen
erally. that Canada will not surrender to the

tinents.
