Silver Basis~0ther Capital News. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-—The senate was a center of interest today as a result of the warm discussion of the financial question and the personal criticisms of the president on Saturday. Mr. Vilas (Dem., Wis.) had a roll of manuscript and a. pile of books be fore him ready to take up the financial de- bate where it was left off at the previous session. _ Mr. Stewart (Pop. Nev.) was the first to continue the criticisms of the bond con- tract. His resolution was called up de- claring that the government had no egal authority to buy gold coin in preference to silver coin for any cause whatever. Mr. Stewart spoke of the humiliating position of the United States in being held by the throat by a gold combination which had the power to “ coerce and squeeze’ ’ the coun- try up to next October, when the contract expired. ' . Mr. Gray (Dem., Del. ), who is recog- nized as close to the ofificers of the admin- istration, then took the floor. He express- ed surprise that the senators from Massa- chusetts (Lodge) and Colorado (Wolcott) had so far gone out of their way to indulge in a violent assault on the executive. The president had performed a duty incumbent on him by law. That law was such that any evasion of it would have been a plain dereliction of duty. Congress had made this law. It made it necessary to main— tain the parity between the metals by re- deeming in either. N o sooner had congress assembled than the president appealed to congress concerning the financial condi~ tions. A bill was framed on the lines sug- gested in that message, and the house saw fit to reject it. Again the president ap- pealed to congress. Mr. Gray read from the president’s message urging patriotic and unpartisan action to meet the emer- gency. “Does the senator think,” inter- jected Mr. Stewart, “that the president has reestablished confidence in afiairs by hiring the assistance of a foreign syndi- cate?” Two Futile Appeals. Mr. Gray said he would consider that point later. Proceeding with the presi- dent’s message, the senator read the spe- cific statement that the law did not pro— vide for bonds payable in gold. At that time Mr. Lodge had not complained of the conditions clearly set forth by the presi- dent. but had waited until now to present a scathing denunciation. “Having thus appealed to congress,” continued Mr. Gray, “having thus present- ed the situation to both branches of con- gress in appeals almost pathetic in their earnestness, the president was left alone to struggle with the condition and to meet it.” The senator told of the tremendous drains of gold from the treasury, running up to $7, 000, 000 in one week shortly before this contract .was made. :From Dec. 1 last to the time of the contract $17, 000,000 was withdrawn, and of this only one-half was exported, showing that the other half was boarded at home. ”Has the senator lost sight of the fact, ” asked Mr. Wolcott, “that the secretary of the treasury has reported to us that he had used $105,000, 000 of that gold for current expenses?” This did not divert Mr. Gray from his line of argument as to the gold withdraw 0.15 for export and fer hoarding at home. “Right here I want to ask, ” said Mr. Peffcr. “is there any law which compels the secretary of the treasury to pay demand notes in gold instead of in silver?” “ I have not said there was any such law, ” replied Mr. Gray. ”I know of no. such law. But the obligation to maintain the parity between the metals makes it ab- solutely incumbent to treat these metals equally. ” 1b Beautifi/ the Completion , : ——do not take the f, cosmetics, paints and " powders which in- jure the skin, but take the easiest way to gain a beautiful color and a whole- some skin.

The secretary of the treasury had not reported to the senate, said Mr. Hill, that he had used $105, 000,000 of the gold for current expenses. Mr. Teller wanted to read the secretary’s report, but Mr. Gray would not yield. , "And this drain of gold continued, ” re- sumed Mr. Gray, “until the subtrcasury at New York reported that they could not hold out another day. ” “Then came the greatquestion, Was the country to go to a silver basis between sun- down and sunup, or was it to secure the gold absolutely necessary to maintain the parity and exchange ability between the two metals? What would have been said if the president had not met that emer- gency and performed his duty? Would we have. heard such animadversions, such as those of Saturday, for not rescuing the country from the grave crisis then present- ed? Action was imperative and quick ac— tion. It was to be done in 24 hours. What time was there to advertise for bids for gold ?” ‘ Mr. Gray forcibly urged the gravity of the condition which compelled speedy ac- tion and an appeal to those who had gold. Mr. Wolcott here came forward with an— other question. “ Does the senator know of any one other than Russell Sage who has hoardcd gold?” he asked. “I do not,” said Mr. Gray. ”But I do not know Russell Sage or any of his kind, and it would be no pleasure if I did.” In the House. This was suspension day in the house. Under the rule, if a second reading was ordered, any bill could be placed upon its passage after 30 minutes’ debate. The senate amendments to the bill to deliver condemned cannon to Asher Gay- lord post of Plymouth, Pa, and to Eck- ley B. Coxe post of Freeland, Pa, were agreed to. An uncommon incident occur- red whilc Mr. Van Voorhis (Rep, N. Y.) was trying to secure unanimous consent for the consideration of a bill to grant a pension to an army nurse. He concluded a strong appeal to members not to object by saying that a man who would raise his hand against a woman was a wretch. ”I object, ” shouted Mr. Jones (Dem., Va.) “And he comes from a state which was the mother of presidents. ” retorted Mr. Van Voorhis. The speaker then recog- nized Mr. Mallory (Dem., Fla.) to move the passage of the bill to promote the cf— ficicncy of the revenue cutter service under suspension of the rules. Under suspension of the rules the house passed a hill 1.) raise the rate of pension to Mexican veterans to $12 a month and also a bill to equalize the duties and salaries of inspectors of hulls and boilers. _____________ No News of the City of St. Augustine. NEW YORK, Feb. 19. ——The steamer City of St. Augustine is still missing. It is feared that the large quantity of yellow pine lumber passed by the ship Constance. which arrived yesterday, may be from the missing vessel. This would not necessarily mean the loss of the steamer, as she could lose her deckload in the storms encoun- tered and still keep afloat. In fact,the deck- load may have been thrown overboard to lighten the ship. I Edgewood Company’s—fireceiver. NEW HAVEN, Feb. 19.-—-—Judge' Baldwin of the supreme court has appointed Hubert T.

Seven Rescued From Death by a. Lake llIichigan Life Saver. CHICAGO, Feb. Ill—Seven reckless skaters were face to face with death in the treacherous waters of Lake Michigan, and but for the presence of Captain Frank Fountain of the United States life saving station would have gone to the bottom of the lake. The seven youths, with about 50 other men and boys and several girls, were skating on the ice back of the gov- ernment breakwaters, about two miles from shore, when a huge section of ice about 400 feet broad broke away from the main field, forming a. flea almost square in shape. On this were the seven skaters Before the boys realized what had happen- ed the gap between the solid ice and the floe widened to abOut 50 feet, and it was re- ceding farther and farther, blown by the fury of the wind at a speed of 100 feet a minute. Captain Fountain jumped into his boat and at once rowed out to the edge of the doc, which was fully 300 feet away from the pier when he reached it. To add to the horror of the situation, under the fierce gusts of wind and the rocking motion of the water the ice began to crack, and by the time the captain was at the nearest edge the huge square had split into a dozen or more pieces, and each second the pieces were growing smaller and more and more dangerous as footholds to the skaters, who were now thoroughly frightened and began. yelling lustily for help. Rowing his boat broadside on along the nearest section of the floating piece on which were three boys, Fountain shouted to them to skate as close as they could, one at a time, and leap into the boat. In this way the skaters were rescued one at a time, not, however, until some of them had been drenched in the icy water and all had been thoroughly frightened. 1~' THE HAYiVARn TRIAL. The State Springs Another Surprise on the Defendant’s Counsel. MINNEAPQLIS, Feb. 19. -—The state sprung a surprise iii the Hayward murderhtrialhto- day when it withdrew 'lll opposition to the introduction of Maggie Wachter’s tes- timony. Miss Wachtcr is the stcnographer of Blixt’s attorney, who was to testify that Blixt had stated to his attorney in her presence that it was with Adry Hayward and not witlyHarI-y that he had conspired to murder Miss Ging.. The court had held that it was a communication between client and attorney, and therefore inad- missible. There had been the greatest in— terest manifested among lawyers generally, and Mr. Erwin this morning received a telegram from W. D. Frazce, at Okolona, Miss, citing three decisions as to the point. The court was unwilling to admit the tes- timony without the direct consent of Blixt, and the murderer was brought from the jail and and questioned persistently by Judge Smith. He had no objection, he said, and Miss Wachter was called. It then developed that she was sick and could not be present today. The sudden change of front on the part of the state is said to be due to its ability to impeach Miss Wach- ter’s evidence absolutely. Blixt’s attorney will go on the stand and contradict it, and it is also understood that the state had as— certained from a confidant of Miss Wachter the true inwardncss of the evidence. ’ A Warship Sent to Formosa.

Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies without receiving any relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. After using it forthree days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have since recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.
