Washington, Feb. 1.—~Amid

terday afternoon announced the over-
whelming defeat of the Teller resolu-
tion to pay the bondscf the United
States in silver.

There were 132 yeas for the indorse-
ment of the Senate’s action of prac-

tical repudiation, and the nays were
18:. ,
The majority against indorsement

was 1'9, but it was made an even 50 by
the Speaker, who directed the clerk to
call his name. This is never done ex-
cept when a great issue is to be de-
cided, or when there is a tie. The most
liberal estimates had not contemplated
a majority of more than 30 Republi-
cans but absentees were sent for and
they came on every train.

Only one Republican, Linney of
North Carolina, joined the Democrats
and Populists for-free silver.

The only colored man in the House,
Mr. W'hite, also.'fr m North Carolina,
did not vote: eithe' way. He simply
ans“ ered “Present” .

Thirty- two pairs were announced and
3‘42 members were: corded. The fact

‘W‘f"
THE DEBATE-1N DETAIL.

 

Some Dispute as to the Division of Time
at Its Opening.

\Vashington, Feb. 1.-—-Great activity
was manifested by the leaders on both
sides before the House met yesterday
in anticipation of an exciting debate
over the Teller resolution, declaring the
bonds of the United States payable in
gold or silver at the option of the Gov-
ernment. The members‘on both sides

'had been notified in advance, and the
attendance on the floor was very large.

The struggle opened immediately after
the reading of the journal, when Chair-
man Dingley, of the'Ways and Means
Committee, reported back the resolu-
tion with the recommendation that ‘1t
do not pass.”

Mr. Henderson (Rep, Iowa) followed
by presenting the special order agreed
upon by the Committee on Rules, pro-
viding for the immediate consideration
of. the resolution and a vote without in—
tervening motion at 5 o’clock. The rule
was as follows: ~-

“Resolved, That immediately upon
the adoption of this resolution the
House shall proceed to the considera—
tion of the Senate concurrent resolution
No. 22 (Teller resolution), that general
debate shall be had thereon until the
hour of 5 o’clock, at which time, with—
out any intervening motion, a vote
shall be taken upon the passage of said
resolution. General leave to print
upon the subject of said resolution for
five days from this date is hereby
granted.”

Mn, Henderson yielded'a moment to
Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader, who
said that while the minority strenuous-
ly oppoSed the undue limitation of the
debate proposed by the rule, still as his
side desired as much time as possible
for debate, they would not consume
any of the time ”allowed on a roll-call. '

Mr. Wheeler (Dem., Ala.) and Mr.
De Armo‘nd (Dem., Mo.) protested vig-
orously, however, and the latter said if
he had had an opportunity he would
have proposed a' Cuban belligerency
amendment.

To this suggestion Speaker Reed re—
torted curtly that it would not be in
order, and when Mr. De Armand ap-
pealed to him to decide the question
hastily the Speaker exclaimed: “That
it is not in order is too plain for ar-
gument. ”

During this colloquy there were evi-
dences of dis‘tu rice and excitement
on the Republican. side, of which Mr.
Johnson (Rep. Ind.) was the centre. At
last Mr. Johnson insisted on asking a.
question of Mr. Henderson. He want-

ed to know with much emphasis
whether it was true that all the time
was to be consumed by the members
of the Ways and Means Committee.

“There is no such proposition,” called
out Mr. Dalzell (Rep, Pa), but Mr.
Johnson did not subside, and continued
to protest, declaring loudly that he 'an-
tagonized this rule if such was the in-
tention.

The Speaker cut off further debate
by putting the question, and the rule
was adopted—143 to 115—the Democrats
refraining from demanding a roll call.
Then followed a controversy over the
division of time. _

Mr. Bailey suggested that two hours
be given each to the Republicans and
Democrats and 40 minutes to the, Pop-
ulists and . silver Republicans. Mr.
Dingleyireplied that the time should be
'divided equally for and against the
Mr.
thought the present divisions of the
minority should be officially recognized.

“I wasn’t aware that there was any
distinction between the Populists and
Democratsas at present constituted,"
retorted Mr. Dingley, dryly.

Without any agreement as to the di-
vision of the time, the Speaker recog—
nized Mr. Dingley, who opened the de-
batein opposition to the resolution.
Contrary to‘ his usual" 'cu's‘tom, Mr.
Dingley read his carefully prepared ar-
gument from manuscript.

The pending resolution, Mr. Dingley
passed by both houses would have
force. It was simply a concurrent res-

olution, which did not require the 2111—.
proval of the Executive, and which if .-

adopted would be only an expression
of the opinion of the two houses. “Its
importance, therefore," continued Mr.
Dingley, "lies in the fact that if con-
curred in by the House It would legit-
imately and inevitably be regarded not
only here but by the world as the ex-
pression of the deliberate judgment of
a majority of the American people as
to their standard of honor and good
faith in the discharge not only of na-
tional but also of private Obligations
At the outset it is important to Stllp

ln‘g resolution all the Subterfuges which .'

.1 ..4.-._-__..-._-_.....,_.

a clear understanding of its meaning
"This resolution is not presented for
the purpose of securing an expression
by Congiess as to the power cf Gov-
ernment either as to the payment of its
obligations or as to What may be deé
clared legal tender. It is throwing
dust in the eyes of our own people and
of the world to assume that be are de-
termining a question of powar or even
of a technical legal right. No one denies

that this, or any other nation has the ..

power to pay in full or in part or none

.of its obligations, to pay in gold or sil-

ver or paper or copper, according t3 its
pleasure.

‘Payment cannot be enforced against
a sovereign nation. Its obligations, ” the
speaker continued, "are measured by
its own sense of honor and good faith.
But even if this sense of honor is at
any time blunted as was Shylock’s, by
dwelling ona narryow iew of the letter
rather than the spirit of- the obligation,
the intelligent selfishness of a nation
which is to live not simply for a gen—
eration, but for centuries, ought to lead
it—and whenever a nation is wisely
governed does lead it—to so scrupu-

lously maintain its pledges in both let--

for and spirit as to preserve its credit
untarnished, and thereby not only
make it’ possible to borrow at the low—
est“ rate of interest, but, also to make
It easy to obtain loans in emergencies
which are sure to come to- every na-
tion. A nation’s honor and credit—1
may say to the gentlemen on‘thc other
side who applauded so jubilantly when
the pending resolution was brought
into this hall—are among its most

oriceless possessions, aye, its title deed -

to permanence and prosperity.

“Mr. Speaker,’ Mr. Dingley went on
to say, “the sting and dishonor of the
pending resolution, like the sting of a
deadly snake, is in its tail. And that
sting, well nigh harmless twenty years
ago, under conditions then existing, 1s
made deadly by the changed conditions
of to-day. The deadly tail of this res-
olution reads: ‘That to restore to its

. coinage such silver coins as a legal ten-

der, in the payment of said bonds
(meaning practically all the bonds of
the United States now outstanding) is
not in violation of the public faith nor
In derogation of the rights of the public
creditor.”

“The declarations of the movers and
supporters of this resolution in the
Senate during its recent consideration
in that body,” Mr. Dingley said,
"throws a flood of light on what is

meant now by the phrase, “to restore ‘

to its coinage such silver coins’—a
phrase which in 1878 was, with good
reason, interpreted by many who sup-
ported a similar resolution to mean
something vitally different from what
it must mean now.”

After the outburst of applause which
greeted the close of Mr. Dingley’s
speech had subsided, Mr. Bailey‘ was
recognized for an hour. _

He first yielded twenty minutes to
Mr. Wheeler (Dem., A1a.), a member of
the W'ays and Means Committee, who
submitted an argument in support of
the resolution.

Before closing, Mr. Wheeler yielded
a. minute each to half a dozen members
on the Democratic side, each of whom,
as Mr. Cowherd (Dem.,
erected a hook on which to hang a
speech in. the Congressional Record.

“This brings me,” proceeded Mr.
Dingley, “to the consideration of the
vital question as to whether .the Gov-
ernment has the moral right,’ in other
words, whether it would be an act
which the moral sense of the world
would regard as in accordance with
honor and good faith for the United
States to pay its outstanding bonded
indebtedness in dollars of, so mater-
lally less value than the dollar which
has [been the practical standard of
value since 1834, barring the war and
reconstruction period, and vhich has
been the legal practical standard of
value since 1879, and the dollar in
which our bonded
been paid by every administration from
Lincoln to McKinley, to wit, the dollar
equal in value to 25.8 grains of stand-
ard gold. (Applause)

Mr.Dockery (Dem., Mo.),
Secretary of the Treasury to more
firmly establish the gold standard
would vacate many seats on the Re-
publican side.

 

The Strike in New England.

Boston, Mass. Feb. 1.—Dispatches
from New Redford, Lewiston, Me.;
Biddeford and, Saco, where about 13,—
000 cotton mill operatives have been
out for two weeks. stated that the sit-
uation in those places is unchanged.
Both sides are firm, and, from pres-
ent indications, the mills will remain
closed for many weeks. A reduction
of 10 per cent. in wages went into ef-
fect in the Atlantic and Pacific cotton
mills, in Lawrence, Forestdale, R. I.,
and two or three other places yester-
day. In Fall River an attempt was
made to start the King Philip mills
and it was in a measure a success.

Governor Black Entertained.

New Ymk, Feb. 1.—In honor of Gov.

mack a dinner and reception was given
in the Waldor-f Astoria last night by
the officers of the National Guard.
More than 600 of the 900 officers in the
State were present. The reception was
in charge of the members of the Gov-
ernor‘s Staff. Dinner was served in the
East room of the Waldorf. The deco-
rations, consistig of flowers and flags,
were elaborate. There were no set
speeches. The speakers congratulated

the Governor on the harmony that ex-,

ists in his military family.

eral~ of. them relief vessels sent by the
Canadian Government to succor desti—
tute fishermen, had to abandon, their
errands of mercy and return to St.
Iohn’s, where they were still in the ice
when the Portia struggled into clear
water. '

Close to where the Portia lay the big
steamship Virginia was locked tight.
She had been sent north by the canad-
'an Government 'with food for the
starving fishermen”, but a short- dis-
tance up the coast she found the route
securely locked, and was forced to re—
turn to port to prevent being ice-bound
ill winter. Before her departure news
had reached St. John’s that unless as-
sistance .was promptly dispatched the
infortunate inhabitants would soon be
beyond relief.

Among the detained fleet at St.
Tohn’s were a dozen or more sailing
vessels, loaded with codfish for Eng-
:and and Brazil. The city of St. Jehn’s
was in a terrible condition on account
9f the blizzard. The streets were ren—
iered impassable, the railroads sus-
oended work and the poor were suffer-
ing through hunger and cold. Prices

at food had advanced until they were 3

beyond the reach of thepoor. .

When the Portia was working her
way out- to sea she was closely fol-
'owed by the bark Flora, and these two
vessels were the only’ones that suc-
3eeded in leaving St. John’s. Several
miles off shore the Portia passed the
steamship Grand Lake fast in the ice
1nd in a perilous position.

‘ RAMONA'S’TFIGHTING PARSON.
He Is Able to Emphasize Eis’Utterances

Rev.- Stanley Wilson,
Cal.,

of Ramona,

Mr. Wilson is an athletic young man.

mountain region of his county, and, in
addition to riding the circuit embrac-r
#lng the various hamlets in the hills, is
leditor of the Ramona. Sentinel. He
preached the other morning in the lit-
tle, Baptist Church that stands among
the pines of‘ the hillsback of Julian.
After his sermon Mr. Wilson was ac-
costed on the streets by Dave Putnam;
a bully, who has been in many scrapes
who demanded a retraction of a certain
item that lately appeared in the Ra-
mona Sentinel reflecting-on himself.

“Did you‘ write that article abOut
me?” 'asked Putnam.

“I am responsible for it if I did not
write it,” replied the preacher.

“Well, if you are responsible for it,
take tha, ” said Putnam, striking at
the eloquent young parson.

The blow failed to land. The person
sailed into the minor and they clinch-

in a cloud. The miners gathered
around and cheered the parson to'the
echo. Within five minutes Putnam
was knocked out and the preacher was
calmly dusting ofl his plug hat.

Even before this occurrence Mr. Wil-
son did not lack popularity, but since
then his stock has gone up a. hundred-
fold. Putnam has been laughed out

A POSTMAN ON STILTS.

Getting About Made Easier tlu

“Landes” of France.

Between Bordeaux and Bayonne lies
that stretch of. open country known as
the “Landes.” A great part of this
tract, which was formerly waste land,
has been new partially reclaimed and
planted with pine trees, which are cul-
tivated for the sake of the resin that
is extracted from them. The rest of it,
however, remains wild and covered
with gorse and broom. The villages
and groups of dwellings in the “Lao;
des” are very scattered, and in order
to traverSe the wide extent of the
plains with ease the inhabitants use
stilts, according to “The London
Graphic,” which are tied to: their legs.
Mounted on these the shepherds watch
their flocks in the brushwood, and can
cross pools, marshes and peats without
difficulty. They carry with them a
*long pole, which serves as a support
when resting. The. postmen, too, em—
ploy this means of getting about. In
winter time, when the “Landes” are
.covered with snow, getting about on
stilts is, of course, difficult, and.in or-
der to obviate the inconvenience and
to enable him to .get over the ground
without loss of time the postman has
lately fitted to his stilts a kind of thin
Wooden skate, which enables him to
walk on the top of the snow without
sinking in.

\‘11 Official Record of Queen Victoria’s

Curiously enough, neither the birth,
1) )aptism nor confirmationof Queen Vic-
toria is a matter of official public rec:
0rd. One might suppose that, flled away
in its appointed place among the state
archives, there could be found a docu-
ment formally setting forth the birth
of the child who, though not heir pre-
sumptive to the throne at the time
of the birth, was removed from it by
only three degrees. But such is not
the case. With regard to ‘her birth,
all that was deemed necessary was its
ahnOuncement by the state oflicials
whose duty it was to be personally cog-
nizant of the fact.

For more than a hundred years the

Indian fighter, Edward Boone, a broth-

the sward of a bluegrass pasture on
the farm of Capt. Will Burris, on Cane
Ridge, in Bourbon county. The grave
has never been marked save with a
piece of limestone rock, and time has
obliterated any inscriptions which may
have been placed by friends in remem-
brance on the stone. The body of Ed-
ward Boone was consigned to a grave

bully all in the same Sunday forenoon. , When asked recently to tell how she

came to write the poem that has made

being considered the best boxer in the her famous, she replied:

“I cannot remember when I did not
write poetry. I have done it ever
since I was a child. My mother ‘did
not approve of my writing. One, day
after school I went to my room. I
had been studying the historic period
of the poem, and the incident impress-

ed itself so strongly on my mind that .

I felt- impelled to’ write about it. I
was about half way through when my
mother came in, saying a young friend
had come to spend the afternoon and
take tea with me. In great distress
I called out: ‘Oh, mother, can’t she‘
Wait a little while?’ My mother,
thinking I was solving a hard problem
in arithmetic, said she would amuse
my friend until I could leave. At last
I finished it and put it away.

“Two or three years later I wanted
a poem for publication in a Detroit
paper to which I 'had been in the habit
of contributing short poems gratuit-
ously. I was unable at the time to
write, as usual, and, on looking over

__my papers, found this one, which I

decided to send, though doubting its
acceptance, as it was so long. A day
or two afterward I received a note
from the editor, complimenting my
last contribution highly, and prophesy—
ing for it great and immediate suc-
cess.”—Philade1phia Press.

 

ANXIOUS ABOUT HIS MONUMENT.
Evidently ‘Vantod His Little Plot in
“God’s Acre” Well Marked.

The late Dr. Tyler Hull, of Lansing,
Mich., left the following peculiar will:
“There shall be erecte _at' my grave
within one ye 211 after my decease a
monument if the assets of the estate
shall warrant, according to the follow-
ing conditions: If my estate shall foot
up to $40,000 or more, then there shall
be erected at my grave a granite mon-
ument worth $10,000. -‘If my estate
shall aggregate $30,000 and under $40,—
000, there shall be erected at my grave
a. granite monument worth $6,000.”
Then there follow six other items,
couched in language similar to the
above, and being in substance as fol-
lows: “Between $25,000 and $30,000, a
$5,000 monument; between $20,000 and
$25,000, a $4,000 monument; between
$15,000 and $20,000, a $3,000 monu-
ment; between $10,000 and $15,000, a
$1,500 monument; between $6,000 and
$10,000, a. $1,000 monument; between
$4,000 and $6,000, a $500 monument.”
The last paragraph of the will provid-
ed that if the estate should aggregate
less than $4,000, the whole question of
a. monument should be left to the dis—
cretion of his wife—St. Louis Globe

PROBLEM THOUGHT TO BE SOLVED.

Photographs Sent Long Distances
Telegraph.

Dr. W. P. Dun Lany, a young invent-
or of Cleveland, 0., claims to have
solved the long standing problem of
how-to send pictures by telegraph.-

The machine can be worked upon
any ordinary line and requires only
the usual battery. Weather conditions
do not interfere with its working! An

By

ordinary portrait of a person, such as

is used for a newspaper out, can be
sent through and reproduced over a
long or short circuit in about seven
minutes. Printed or written matter
can be likewise reproduced. The in-
ventor believes that under practically
the same method as employed in his
present machine an entire matrix or a
full page of a newspaper, properly pre-
pared, can be placed upon an enlarged
cylinder and reproduced automatically-
by wire at distant points in printed
form. —New York World. .
A Rainfall of Seeds.

Some time ago the province of Me.
cerata, in Italy, was the scene of an ex-
traordinary phenomenon. Half an

 

 

 

hour before sunset an immense number p

of small blood-colored clouds covered
the sky. About an hour later a cy-
clone storm burst, and immediately the
air became filled with myriads of small
seeds. ,The seeds fell over town and
country, covering the ground to a
depth of about half an inch. The next

day the whole of the scientists of Mac—_ .

.41.,

erata were abroad in order to find

some explanation.

Professor Cardinali, a celebrated
Italian naturalist, stated that the seéds
were of the genus cercis, commonly
called Judas tree, and that they belong
ed to an order of leguminossae found
only in Central Africa or the Antilles.
It was found, upon examination, that
a great number of the seeds were actu-
ally in the first stage of germination.
