Washington Jnn. 115. Tho talk on
the silver question increases in volume
Before congress met Tuesday there was
warm discussion all around. 131imd of
Missouri declared that ho intended to
bring in a freo coinage hill and that
every Democrat in congress would havo
to go on record in an aye and nay vote.
Ho said ho was not hero and neither
were other Democrats to represent tho
nolicv of this or that man or this or
that faction of tho party but hero to
seek relief for tho peoplo -in financial
matters.
McKinney of Now Ilampsluro urged
that if a silver eoinago bill was passed
by this congress and presented to tho
president tho Democrats would loso
every congressional district in the east;
that the house would at tho ne.t session
bo Republican and that foico bill3 and
so foith would binely follow. Other
congressmen took up tho discussion and
it was metty warm. Tho silver men aro
plucking up coinage. Thoy feel that
thev have stieiiKth enough to get tho
measure up and if so thoy declare they
can pass it by forty majority. They say
oven the Republicans would assist in
getting it up with hopes of putting tho
Democrats in the hole.
Thero aro about 800 Republican sena
tors who would support n freo coinage
measuro but then thero are senators ou
the Democratic side liko Carlisle who
would prefer to have tho whole matter
referred to a commission whoso duty it
would ostensibly bo to confer with
other nations on the bi-mctullic stand
ard. So thero is no telling whether tho
Democratic silver men could pass a bill
in tho senate oven with theso Republi-
cans assisting them. Thero is somo talk
of tho Republicans and anti-silver men
resorting to the tactics of the Democrats
in defeating the forco bill by not letting
it come up or talkiug it to death. This
is not at all piobablo as they would not
dare to avoid facing the issue.
Before tho committee on tho interstate
and foreign commerce Raynor of Mary-
land asked that a sub-committeo of that
committee bo appointed to consider n
bill amending tho interstate commerce
law so as to permit drummers to carry
sample trunks under special l.ites. Tho
committeois very favorably impressed
with the bill and will doubtless report it
favorably to tho house. A sub-committeo
was at once formed to consider tho
measure. Tho signs aro that Judge Mc-
Cormick will bo confirmed as judge of
tho circuit court of appeals. Tho light
against his confirmation is very vicious.
One of the charges against him is some-
thing about accepting a honso and lot
from citizens of Graham and afterward
selling tho property. But tho opposition
to his confirmation will not avail any-
thing from present appearances.
Tho members of tho tobacco trust who
weio lecently indicted in Texas aro do-
ing their best to secure letters from
Texans heio to tho attorney general of
Texas and tho district attorney whoro
the indictments wore found setting forth
that tho indicted parties aio all most
worthy citizens of Baltimore and North
Carolina and tho object it seems is to
cet the officers abovo mentioned to let
down tho indicted gentlemen as easy.as
possible. It is intimated that thoy
would bo willing to pay a fino under tho
indictment if tho whole thing would bo
dropped at that point.
The committee on coast defenses mado
a report indorsing a continuous appro-
priation of about $131 000000 for coast
defenses. Senators Chilton of Texas and
Berry of Aransas on tho floor dissented
to such appropriation. Senator Chilton
said ho was opposed to it on two grounds.
Tho first becauso of tho sum asked and
socond becauso tho character of such
appropriation being continuous was
wrong in that it was legislating for future
congresses.
Tho caso of Logan against tho United
States did not come up for argument as
was expected. Mr. Kearby was in-
formed that tho court would hear him
ou Monday.

llcrlnc Sen Question.
Washington Jan. 13. Tho Boring
sea question "was beforo tho cabinet. It
is understood tho caso has taken a favor-
ublotuni within tho past low days and
Blaino has been advised that Salisbury
will agree to his suggestion as to tho
method of selecting thrco of tho arbitra-
tors fiom countries which havo no in-
terest in tho question at issuo. When
theso thrco neutral arbitrators havo been
agiced upon thero will bo no further do-
lay in deciding ujion tho jwrsoniiel of tho
tribunal it having been already arranged
that tho United States aud Great Britain
each havo tho appointment of two mem-
bers. One of Great Britain's roprcsenta-
sives will bo a resident of Canada. The
prospects aro that one of tho arbitrators
on tho pait of tl3 United States will bo
selected from tho Republican paity and
one from the Democratic party. Hon.
Edward K. Phelps ex-minister to Eng
land is mentiontioned as most likely to
ho 0110 of tho arbitrators on tho part of
tho United States.

Jol.u on Juy Could.
Nnw Yonic Jan. 1 i(. Fow of tho sto-
ries told of Jay Gould credit "tho Wiz-
aid" with having a nature capable of
appreciating tho humorous sido of a sit-
uation or enjoying a good joko. But Jay
Gould has r vein of humor in him
novel theless. One day in tho caily pari
of tho week ho dropped into 71 Bioad-
way tho building made famous by tha
recent attempt on Russelo Sago's life by
tho dynamiter Noreross and while
passing ono of tho elevated rauro.ul
offices saw sirtwal men on stcp-ladderi
plastering iaWj)lhm Ho noticed with
somo alar in toMJH 'personal appearance
that ono of tlvfpOV was putting as much
material on tbfloyr as on tho ceiling
and ventured to remark: "You aro mak-
ing a very good job of this room but
wasting a great deal of material." To
this tho careless plasterer replied non-
chalently: "Oh well it does not mako
much difference to you becauso Jay
Gould is paying for it." "That's so" re-
joined Mr. Gould "if Mr. Gould is pay-
ing for it why it's all light." Mr
Gould then turned from theioom with-
out making his identity known and go-
ing into 0110 of tho other ofllcos met on
or two of his colleagues to whom ho re-
lated this incident after which all hands
laughed heartily.
As Mr. Gould passed out of tho room
a fellow-workman of tho careless plas-
terer turned to him and said: "Say
Jim I guess your name is Dennis. That
man you were tulking to is Jay Gould."
Mr. Gould howeer appreciated the
joko on himself as much as tho men did
nnd baid nothing fmthor about tho mat-
ter. j a
