Senator Chandler’s Speech In Support of Free Coinage. SILVER’S DEMON ETIZ ATION. Ho Holds It Responsible For the Fall 13‘ Prices of Farm Products—Tho Bot- tom Has Not Yet Been Reached, He Says—Capital ,Gossip. WASHINGTON, Feb- 17,—Rev. W. J. B. Brown, D. D., of Wesley chapel, London, offered the opening prayer in the senate today. It was an impressive invocation. Reference was made to the president and the president elect, and it asked that those who desired a permanent peace betwoen the two great English speaking nations might have their desires accomplished. House bill was passed rearranging the judicial districts of Arkansas. When senators sought to give notice of advancing various measures tomorrow, Mr. ' Sherman came forward with the statement that he would ask the senate to go into executive session tomorrow on the Anglo- American treaty of arbitration, when he hoped to secure final action. These no- tices, therefore, must be with the under- standing of his purpose tomor'row. Mr. Flatt called attention to the fact that Mr. Lodge had given notice of going on with the immigration bill. man did not, however, modify his state- ment. ' House resolution was agreed to author- izing the secretary of war to lend tents for the next annual Grand Army of the Re- public encampment at Bufialo. The bill amending the timber culture laws recently recalled from the president was reconsidered. the house amendments disagreed to and the bill sent to confer- ence. . Chandler on Free Colnago. Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) was then recognized for a. speech of which he had given not-ice on his resolution reciting that it “is the sense of the senate that the United States should not permanently ac— quiesce in the single gold standard, and that the efi'orts of the government in all its branches should be steadily directed to secure and maintain the use of silver as well as gold as standard money, with the free coinage of both, under a system of bimetallism to be established through in- ternational agreement or with such safe- guards of legislation as will insure the parity in value of the two n1 etals at a fixed ratio, furnish a sufficient volume of me talllc money and give immunity tcr the world of trade from violent fluctuations in exchange.” . The early part of the speech was a pres— _ entation of the principles of finance, the senator arguing against a single standard of either metal, silver or gold. He traced the gradual demonetization of silver, the closing of our mints against the silver dollar in 1873, the efiorts to restore silver and the serious blow struck by Eng- land against silver in closing the Indian mints. But it remained for Secretary Car- lisle, the Senator declared, to strike the most fatal blow at silver in issuing his or- der that the government would redeem its paper obligations in gold only. By that act Secretary Carlisle struck out of use a vast amount of silver, he said, and drew upon the depleted world’s supply of gold and gave the finalblow to silver. From the effects of this low depth to which it has been reduced by the demon- etization of silver bimetallism must not now begin its toilsome struggle upward. Mr. Chandler took up the fall of prices, particularly in farm products, resulting, he said, from silver demonetization. The senator delared that Within the last 20 years there .had been a steady .fall of prices in all classes of property. His own convictions, that silver demonetization was at the bottom of this downward move- ment in prices, caused him to seriously doubt whether the era of restored prosper- ity was near at hand. He was led to the conclusion, he said, that prices had not yet “touched bottom.” Shrinkage In Prices. This shrinkage in prices had been most serious since 1890. The value of property . in the United States was $65,000,000,000 in 1890; now it was estimated at $49,000,- 000,000,000, 3 shrinkage of 2-5 per cent since 1890. Our debts had not shrunk, but remained an inexorable charge. Deduct- ing them, the value of our property was cut down to $33,000,000,000. Can this proceed, asked the senator, without wide— spread bankruptcy? He was of the opinion that the gradual tendency was to leave debtors without the power of paying their debts until by a gradual revolution the assets of debtors wae absorbed by creditors. If it had not been for the fortunate balance of trade in our favor during the past year, he said, there would have been a business cataclysm ,in this country which would have prostrat- ed all interests and produced infinite mis- cry in our business and domestic afi'airs. It was because gaunt famine stalked through India that trade was favorable to us. For these reasons, Mr. Chandler said, turning," toward Mr. Palmer (Dem., Ills.) who. sat near, he was opposed to such declarations for a permanent gold standard as that enunciated by. the Indianapolis convention. - Mr. Sher; I I PABDC’FI ITETHODS. Bar-barons Conduct. of Spanish Troops After Cubans Surrvnderod. HAVANA, via Kev West, Feb. lS.—A band of 50 insurgents from Gene“al La- cret’s arr‘v was surrounded by a Spanish detachmt’... ten, miles from the city and was cut to pieces. Not a man escaped. The insurgents surrendered after a short fight, but the Spaniards put them to the sword under orders of Captain Pardo, the officer in command. 1'3e says that he had the Marquis of Ahumada’s orders to treat all insurgents near the capital ’in such a summary manner. ' A Spanish supply train was wrecked by insurgents near Bolondron, so 1th of this city. The Spanish guard of 25 men were killed either in the wreck or in the fight afterward. The insurgents secured a. quan- tity of provisions and 50 mules. Charles Scott of Canton, an American who is under arrest, is having a hard time. It is. reported that General Lee is unable to ascertain what the charges against him are. Spanish officers profess to believe that he had something to do with sending dynamite supplies to the insurgents. " Sogasta May Become Premier. MADRID, Feb. 18.—-El Die, in an article on the political situation, today asserts in the most positive terms that a ministerial crisis is impending, and that it is possible that Senor Sagasta will return to the premiership. The paper also says that there is a likelihood that General Ramon Blanco, late governor general of the Phil- ippine islands. will replace General Wey- ler as captain general of Cuba. “ A Cotton Mill For Colored People. RALEIGH, Feb. 18. —For several years many negroes in this state, Georgia and \South Carolina have been endeavoring to secure the erection of a cotton mill to be operated by negroes exclusively in order to demonstrate'the capacity of the negro as a mill hand. The idea is now to be realized. W. C. Coleman of Concord, N. C., a negro of some means, has obtained a charter for a mill at Concord. The capital stock is placed at $50,000. Ice Trotting Meeting.

There is perhaps no other winter feed that is as great a milk producer. Clover hay is the other indispensable. There is no rigid rule about mixing feeds.
