GRAVE DANGERS POINTED OUT The Proposed Violation of Faith Criti cised in an Unimpassioned Speech. The Country on the Eve of a Period of Disastrous Inflation The Pas sage of the Bill Would Inevitably Re sult in a Sin.cle Silver Standard. Dull Day in the House. Washington, D. C, March 8. H FTER the passage of a number of A bill, at 2 p. ui , the vice presl M eD' m before the senate the LTu i .t,l business, being the Bland neiguioraK aot, the peodititf queation being on Mr Allison's motion to reconsider the vote of yeeterdey or derinir the engrossment and thirl read ing of the bill. Mr. Sherman, Ohio, expressod th hope that the aeu ite would m iki no real objeotlon to Mr. Ailisou's motion, bo aa to leave the bill open to m u id ment. Ua proposed to show the im portance of hurinur the bill amended. He declared that there was no dispmi tion on hia aide of tba chamber to pre vent action on the bill. He suggested that senator on both sides should pro ceed in the matter without tiktu? ad vantage of a rapid declaration on the ' part of the presiding afllOOT that the bill had been read a third lime. In his opinion th bill ws a viol i tion of the public faith, as declared in the aot of ltK), which pledged to the redemption of the silver certificates the entire silver bullion purchased by them. Ha believed, also, that it was the beginning of an unlimited iisu of paper money to meet current xpjndi tnres. And' he beliaved that it woul 1 substitute for this bi-mstallic itandard of gold and silver the monometalism of silver only. DIR2LT VIOLATION OF FAITH. Tbia bill is a plain and palptble vio lation of the puolis faitu ta plain aa if yon should refuse to pay United States notes. The bill before us, strange to aay, provides for taking fifty-five mill ion of the bullion pledged to the re demption of the treasury notes. It takea it from toe vaults of the treaanry department, where it is pledged, aa sacredly as a mortgage npon laud or us any other obligation of publio faith. In the further courts of bia argument Mr. Sherman declared that there had not been a dollar gained by the govern ment in the purchase of silver bullion. There naver had tien any foundation for aeigniorage. The word "seignior age" was one which onght not to he en grafted on the laws of the United States. It represents the powr of lord or king to seize a portion of the bul lion brought to the mint bv its owner to be coined. It meant toll, But there could be no seiu'uioroe in the caae be cause there had been no profit in the transaction. WHAT TIIF. BILL WTtli PRECIPITATE. He believed tn.it the passage of the bill meant the beginning of an unlim ited iasue of papar money. There was outstanding today of the various forms of demand obligations :t36,(XW,000. an 1 it was prorosad to add to those lia bilities the sum of 169,000,000, or if the senator from Nebraska was correct, theposaible sum of $110,000,000, Did anybody suppose, Mr. hliermau asked, that tbat vaat sum of money could be maintained at par with gold? What waa there on haud to meat that enor mous liability. Mr. Harris expressed hia determina tion to resist any re-consideration and any amendment of the bill, on the ground that if the hill had to be sent back to the house, the clianoes against action on it there would be nine to one. Finally it was arranged tbat Mr. Allison would have the floor tomorrow to spenk in favor of his own in dl on, and then at 4 . V), the senato after a short executive session, adjourned. PROCEEDING1?

Mr. Richardson.

Mr. Cannon adverted to the methods of accounting in the postoffice depart ment, which brought up the star route frauds, and the discussion drifted off to tbat subject. Tbe bill was passed and the honse then went into committee, of the whole on the District of Colombia appropris tion bill.

FAMOUS CASE OPENED. Madeline Pollard Will Face tho Gal lant Kentucky Colonel In a Court of Justice. WASHINGTON, March 8 Congress man w. O. P. Breckinridge, long en titled the "silver tongaad orator" of Kentucky, son of a Presbyterian min ister, veteran of the confederate army, a member of one of th most distin guished families of his state, and here tofore conspicuous as a politician and churchman, began to lav the rolo of defendant in a suit for $90,000 damages for ereacti of promise and sednctlon brought by Miss Madeline Pollard, nleo Kentnckian, Half an horn before 10 o'clock, the time for the court to opu, the corri dors swarmed with people seeking en trance, including several old ladies half ashamed of tneir pre-nce. So small is the courtroom that Judge Bradley had given orders to exclude every one but those having a legiti mate interest In the case. First on the scene of active pirticipiiits in the ca-i were the attorneys for ttisi Pollard. Messrs. Wilson and Cariisl. Soon afterward the most constrictions pr sonaije of all, C donel Brecki aridge, of Kentucky, arrived. There was a ruddy g'ow of health on his face, tringed by the snow white heard and looks. He was accomoanied by Bn Butterworth, the Ohio ex-congressman, who had been engaged to take the place of Colonel Totten in the de-fens-. Last Angust tho anit was filed, a few days after the coid marriage of Col onel Breckenridgo. Since then both parties to th suit hava been engaged in taking testimony in Kentucky and Cincinnati, the attorneys for Miss Pol lard undeavoring to suostantntte her assertions that Colonel Breckinridge sednced her when a girl in a seminary at Cincinnati, was the father of h"r three children and had made repeated rrnnises to marry her; while the xtatem nts secured by Mr. Breckin ridge ten 1 to blackn the character ot the plaintiff. M;ss Pollard for a year held a clerical position in the census buraan nt Wash ington and has done mnch writing for the newspapers, sometimes under the name of Madeline Vinton Pollard and occasionally aa Madeline Breckinridge Pollard. Colonel Breckinridge, it is under stood, will take a leading part in his own defense. If he does so there can he no doubt of tbe ability with which it will be conducted. Apart from tho able assistance he will receive from Colonel Pnil Thompson, an ex congress man from Kantn-ky, who is a brilliant lawyer, Colonel Enoch Totten, counsel for the defense, is one of the strongest Washington at torneys, a middle age 1 man with a white moustache. He is in i lorida bs cause of weak health and will uot re turn until the 15th, for which reason the defense has unsuccessfully endeav ored to secure a further postponement of the trial. On-' of th most active workers in the arrangement of the de fense it a son of Colonel Breckinridge, who has been untiring in nts efforts in his father's behalf. Issue of the charges against him is considered of the moat vital importaico to the Kentnckian since hia OMBpaigu for re election to hia seat will be con- luctel this summer.

She cam up the river with a big American Bag at her stem, and tho Cramps burgee at tho mast head. Her steam siren bellowed al most continuously in return to the sa lutes of nil sorts of craft along the water front. HlVgN AX OVATION. Crowds of people wavo I the big war ship a welcome back from th do. ks and home tops along the river, and when she swung into her berth at the ship yard she was cheered by the thousands of work men engaged in fin ishing the Columbia, the Minneapolis and the other ships under way iu the yard. The Indiana left the Cramps yards at U o'clock Tu 'sday Doming and an chored (iff the Delaware breakwater for the night. At 4 08 a m. on Wednes day the anchor was token aboard and the shid headed out to sea. The day was a psrfeoc one for a sea trial. Too coursa over which her trial runs were made was off Cape May, and ws between tbe southwest lightship, at the five fathom bank, to the northeast lightship, DOo nauticil lines up the coast. Tn ship was put over this course six times three times in each direction. The turns wero rasde at full speed and the trip waa practically under five hours' continuous stoaming at high spaed. The averages were 14,03 and 14 12 knots respectively. A mo lerate force draft of half an inch nir pressure was used for the next runs and an average" of lo knots was maintained over this course. This is the spend called for in the contract with the government. The last two ruas were made under a forced draft of one inch air pressure. TKIl' WAS SATISFACTORY. The great mass of steel and iron ploughed through the water, but only a slight vinration from engines or screws conil bo felt. The ship made lo i knots on these last two runs. At 7 o'clock this morning she startsd on hr return trip to this city. Coming np the bay and river an average of 14 knots was made, with n favorable tide tot eighty miles. Ths perfortnanos of the Indiana on this preliminary run was very satisfac tory when tne condition of the ship is considered, tier side armor, turrets, conning townr and guns have not been placed on her yet, and she consequently ilraws three foet less water than she will on her official trial. This will ink her screws deeper and is expected to increase her speed. Ordinary soft coal was nsed on this trip, while caro fudy selected coal will be employvd When the official trial takes place. Taking all things into consideration it is predicted that the ship will make at least sixteen knots and possibly a quarter or a half knot more. A prem ium of $25,000 per quarter knot will be arnttd by tho builders fur anything abov fifteen knots, ami from $100,000 10 $100,000 will probably be paid by the government iu addition to the $3, 020,001) numed in the contract.
