SILVER DEBATE IN SENATE.
Teller Says He-Would Not Cause Dis-
giacel‘ul Condition of Ail’airs.
Washington Jan 27. —’At the opening
of the Senate vesteiday M1. Hale (l\le.)
presented the iepm t of the conferees on
‘ the urgent deficiency appiopxiation bill
and the report was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Vest, the Senate
took up the Teller 1eSolution. The de-
-bate was opened by Mr. Tellei, the au-
thor of the resolution. He said he
wound permit no man to excel him in
honor or in good faith.
“I would do nothing," he said, 'ftliat
would bring about such a condition of
affairs as would be disgraceful, what-
ever the opinion of the Senatbr from
Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) may have of
my convictions. The Massachusettts
Senator tried to make it appear that
my position was on a parellel with the
making of a ten-dollar piece out of a
copper cent. Such a proposition I do
not advance.”
Mr. Teller said he would be willing to
retire from public life if by so doing
he could bring about an international.
bimetallic agreement. He maintained
that the existing contract concerning
the money in which bonds of the United
States were payable could not be
changed without the action of Con—
gress, one of the parties to the con—
tract, and that the government had a
right to all the advantages the con-
tract afforded.
\Vill Vote This Afternoon. _
Washington, Jan. 27. —-’l‘he Senate \\ 111
begin to vote this afte1 noon at 4 o clock
on the Teller- Matthews resolution. The
final vote will not be reached until all
the pending amendments are disposed
of. The silver Senators will move to lay
each amendment on the table, and this
~Will be done, for a majority is still for
the resolution. The only amendment
which had any chance of consideration
was the one. offered by Senator Nelson,
of Minnesota, and if the Republicans
get together, there is a chance to adopt
it, but from the outlook it does not
seem possible to secure a solid vote.
Senator Chandler, Carter, Wolcott
and Shoup seem to think that no harm
can come from voting for the Teller
resolution, and it is understood they
will vote against any amendment. It is
probable, however, that Senator Quay
will reverse his vote (If last week. There
may be other changes, and it is stated
that the majority to—day will not be as
large as it was last week.
Senator Lodge said yesterday that he
was going to press both of his amend—
ments, but the silver men will, as stat-
ed,‘move to lay them all» on the table.
Senator Nelson’s iesolution simply
adds to the original Stanley Matthews-
Teller resolution the following words:
"and that it is the duty of the Gov-
ernment of the United States under ex-
isting laws to maintain the parity in
value of its gold and silver money, so
that the dollar of one metal shall for
all monetary purposes always be equal
in value to the dollar of the other
metal.”
During the course of yesterday’s de-
bate Mr. Fairbanks interrupted Mr.
Teller with the statement that he had
absolute information that the Admin-
istration was paying the bonded obliga-
tions of the Government in legal ten-
der notes. “On January 1, $29,000,000 of
bonds matured, 55 continued Mr. Fair-
banks, “and I am informed by the Sec-
retary of the Treasury that these bonds
were paid not in gold, not in silver, but
in legal-tender notes.”
SILVER MEN ARE PLEASEID.
See Much in Their Favor in the Action
of the President and Mr. Gage..-
Washington, Jan. ~27.—The displace—
ment of Mr. Preston from the Director-
ship of the Mint and the declaration of
Secretary Gage ”that the President’s ad-
visors heartily support his efforts to se-
cure international bimetallism, causes
great satisfaction among the Republi-
cans in Congress, who have been de-
claring that the President was not in
favor of the single gold standard.
Those men whose sentiments were re—
flected by Mr. Wolcott’s recent speech,
in which Secretary Gage and Mr. Pres-
ton were criticised, feel that Mr. Pres-
ton’s displacement is a vindicaton of
their contention that the President was
not in sympathy with the proposition
to “commit the country more thorough-
ly to the gold standard,” and that the
declaration of Secretary Gage Tuesday
night with reference to international
bimetallism is a compliance with the
wishes of the Piesident.
These two things are interpreted by
those who want “something done for
silver” as clearly indicating the Presi-
dent is determined .upon a policy of
conciliation towards themselVes. This
assumption may not be warranted, but
the men of silver fancies who still ad-
here to the Republican party, appear
to be greatly pleased, and those of the
opposition say- with glee that the Ad-
ministration is showing signs of weak-
ening before their attacks.
Gold men in Congress deny that any
such significance can properly be given
to the events.

Sioux City, Ia., Jan. 27. —Afte1 tu en-
ty- -six years of tramp life, George Som-.

month he chanced to attend services at
the local rescuse mission. Among the

o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Dole, a physician
and his private secretary, besides a spe-
cial escort party from Washington

cago. The escort consisted of Mr

The party Was met at the Baltimore

Mr. and Mr . Dole and Secretary Sher-
man were driven to the Arlington Hotel
in President McKinley's carriage. the
other members of the party following in
carriages.
President McKinley made a call
which was entirely formal and did not
last more. than fifteen minutes. He xx '1~
accompanied by Secretary Porter and
Colonel Bingham and was met by As-
sistant Secretary Cridler and Mr.
Hatch, the Hawaiian Minister, who in-
troduced him to President Dole.
At 4.15 p. m. President Dole returned
the visit of President McKinley. At
the entrance to the White House the
visitorl'was met by Colonel Bingham,
and the party was led at once by him
to the elevator, when they were soon
transferred to the library 011 the second
fl001. There President McKinley was
in waiting and gave his guest :1 greet-
ing. After a few words of gene1al con-
versation the two Presidents ietiied to
a couch in one corner of the room and
spent about five minutes in consulta-
tion. It was said that this talk wasl
purely pe150nal. Then the visiting pa1ty
retu1ned to the hotel.
RELIEF FOR THE KLONDIKE.
Reindeer and Laplanders \Vill Sail from
New York-~Government Supplies.
New York, Jan. 27.—Bids for the
transportation of 500 reindeer and their
attendants from New York to Portland
or Seattle were opened in the office of
Deputy Quartermaster General A. S.
Kimball yesterday. . About,_twenty-five
railroads were represented at the bid-
ding, the _lowest bid being that of the
Canadian Pacific, which offers to
transport the reindeer and attendants,
with forage and food supplies for the
party, at the rate of $247.60 per car.
Other bids ranged as high as $400 per
car.
These reindeer will be used in the
Government relief expedition to the
appropriated by Congress. The expe-
dition will leave the Pacific coast about
the middle of February in charge of
Brigadier-General Henry C. Merriam,
U. S. A.
The supplies which the Government
is sending to the suffering miners in
the Klondike consist chiefly of bacon,
bread and coffee. Lieutenant D. B.
Devore and the Rev. Dr. Sheldon J ack-
son went to Norway some time ago to
buy reindeer to be used in the expedi-
tion and succeeded in buying 500 at from
$10 to $15 per head. They also engaged
seventy-five Laplanders, who, with
their families and household effects,
will be a part of the relief expedition.
The Allen line steamer. Manitoba has
been chartered for the trip, and it is
now on the way from Alten, Norway,
with the reindeer, Laplanders and suf-
ficient supplies to last until the party
reaches the Pacific coast.
M’KINLEY MAY HIT HARD.
His Views of the'Campaign of 1900 Arc
Looked for To-Night.
Washington, , Jan. 27.—Secretary
Gage’s recent speech, the silver debate
in the Senate, and the reassembling of
the Currency Convention in Indianap-
‘olis have made the money question an
exceedingly prominent topic. The Pres-
ident is interested in the various devel-
opments of the subject, and from his
conversation it is expected he will take
occasion to express himself in public
before long.
It need occasion no surprise if in his
speech in New York to-night the Presi—
dent declares the' position of his Ad-
ministration toward gold. C'n this is-
sue, the President believes the next
campaign must be fought, and while
he is willing to use every endeavor for
international bimetallism, he is opposed
so utterly to independent free coinage
that he is willing there should be no
misunderstanding as to‘ his purpose of
maintaining the gold standard.
When the suggestion was made to the
President that the Republicans might
lose the next House of Representatives
on this issue, he is'reported to have
said that he was willing to risk the
House of Representatives in making a
straight fight for honest money.

Man and Wife.
Both Agree as to What Saved the
Wife’ 8 Life.
When a woman has been aban-fl
doned by doctors to- die, when she
takes a medicine and gets well, when
she and her husband both
declare that medicine
saved her life, what more
can possibly
be said of Dr.-
lDavid Kennedy’s.
Favo rite
“I hada very bad cough and could
not lie on my left side at all. I. also
had neuralgia very' badly. Many
physicians in Cortland said I could
not be cured, but I am thankful to
say 'I am cured through taking Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy.
It cured my cough and greatly benc-
fited my neuralgia. When I began
taking it, I was very weak and it built
me right up. I always had sick head-
ache and trouble with my Stomach,
and it gave me relief from them.”
In speaking of his wife’s case, Mr.
Churchill said: “Dr. David Kennedy’s
, Favorite Remedy saved her life."
