STILL SPLIT OX SILVER.
THE REPUBLICANS AGAIN TALK
IS CAUCUS.
Twice as Many la Opposition to
Window’s Bill as in it* Favor-Mr
Perkins Presents tbs Views of til©
Western Element oT the Subcom
mittee of ths Caucus.
Washington, April 21.—The republican
members of the House held a caucus to
night to receive the report of its coqamitiee
oa the silver question. Every one expected
a liveiv tune, and the expectation was real
ised. Representative Henderson of Illinois
presided, and there was a good attendance.
Coalman Conger of the coinage commie
tee opened the proceedings by presenting
the report of the committee. He recited
the concessions which the House caucus
committee had offered to the Senate, toid
how the negotiations had failed mainly on
the redemption and national bank proposi
tions, and summed up by reporting that the
House committee had withdrawn all con
cessions, and that nine of the fifteen mem
bers had decided to recommend that the
House pass a modified Wmdom bill as it
came from the coinage committee.
Representative Waiker of Massachusetts,
another member of toe committee, upheld
the committee’s action. He maintained that
its bill would secure all necessary relief in
the way of expansion of the currency and
in substance reiterated Secretary Windom’s
objection to the redemption feature* of the
Senate bill, pointing out the dangers under
lying a positive requirement that treasury
poles should be redeemed in lawful money,
FBOPOSITION or THK DISSENTERS.
The six members of the caucus committee
who refused to accede to the majority re
port favoriDg a modified Windom bill were
Messrs. Perkins of Kansas, Bartine of
Nevada, Wickham of Ohio, Carter of Mon
tana, Tavior of Illinois, and Henderson of
lowa They represented the western senti
ment ard had a proposition of tbeir own to
offer, which was submitted by Mr. Perkins.
It was set forth as a compromise measure,
and, in fact, is a composite of the Senate
and House committee billa It preserves
the feature of the Senate biii, which pro
vides for the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of
silver cr so much thereof as may be offered
monthly at a price not exceeding $1 for
371.25 grains, but contains a proviso re
quiring the purchase in any event of not
Its than 2,000.000 ounces in any one month,
and continue* the operation of the existing
law respecting the issue of gold and silver
certificates on deposits of coin.
BULLION NOTES LEGAL TENDER.
Like the Senate bill the minority measure
proposes to authorize the coinage of as
many silver dollars as may be necessary to
redeem treasury notes issued in the
purchase of bullion, but it goes further
in that it makes these Dotes directly
full legal tender (saving existing
and, therefore, does not make it necessary
to redeem them in lawful money as pro
posed by the Senate bilL Then, too, whereas
the Senate bill says that notes “may be re
issued when received for customs, taxes and
public dues, the minority bill absolutely
requires their reissue. Prom the House biil
is culled “the free coinage” paragraph per
mitting persons to deposit silver bullion and
have it coined whenever the market price
exceeds Like the House bill, this
compromise measure omits any reference to
gold.
PERKINS’ ARGUMENT.
Mr. Perkins made a strong argument in
support of the minority view. He declared
that the Windom bill, even as modi
fied when rendered into plain Eng
lish, meant demonetization *of silver.
It was a delusion, and so far from
relieving the present stringency in the circu
lating medium, would make matters much
werse. At present the treasury had to pur
chase and coin $2,000,000 of silver every
month, and that was so much clear
gain. But~the Windom bill proposed
to lock up the bullion and stop its coinage,
and that was demonetization. Bullion
would be a commodity, nothing more or
less. There was as much justification for
piling up wheat in government warehouses.
Mr. Canuon, also a member of the caucus
committee, thought that the House biii was
the measure best calculated to meet the
present necessities, and moved that it be
adopted by the caucus.
TALKING AGAIN PRECIPITATED.
Mr. Perkins, however, offered as an
amendment a motion that the subject be
again referred to the caucus committee,
w-itb a formal expression of the preference
of the caucus for the measure presented by
the minority.
These motions representing fairly well
the views of the two sections revived the
discussion. Speeches in favor of Mr. Can
non’s motion to adopt the Houe committee
bill were made by Messrs. McKinley of
Ohio, Rowell of Illinois, and Bayne of
Pennsylvania. Messrs. Buchanan of New
Jersey, Sweeney of lowa, Kerr and Payson
of Illinois, and Anderson of Kansas op
posed it vigorously, Mr. Anderson making
a straight out free coinage speech.
Mr. Farquharof New York took a middle
ground in favor of the purchase* of
4,000,000 of bullion monthly.
Mr. Dorsey of Nebraska entered a solemn
protest against the eastern restrictive
policy. He prophesied that if the Republi
can party hesitated to adopt free ooiuage
or something equivalent it would surely he
defeated at the polls this falL
Mr. Moore of New Hampshire was op
posed to cheap money.
The discussion ran on until 11:30 o’clock,
■when finally the entire subject was recom
mitted to the caucus committee without the
instructions, however, proposed by Mr.
Perkins. It became evident from several
■votes on minor propositions taken during the
debate that the republican members are op
posed to the Windom bill in the proportion
of two to one. The committee will report
to another caucus to be held Wednesday
night.

AN INSURANCE MUDDLE.
Trouble is brewing between C. C. Wuck

firm suffered a loss from fire some days ago.
Messrs. Durand & Cox, adjustors for the
two companies in which the firm wa. 1 - in

SI,OOO in excess of the stock carried, and
offered SSO to settle the policies. The firm
refused to accept the offer, and have placed
the policies in the hands of attorneys for
collection.
Agent D. Ogg, of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad, will resign

Atlanta, Ga., April 21.—Tommy Har

railroad man, fell into a well this afternoon
and broke Lis neck. He was ploying with

city was detected and convicted. Though the
stolen books were numerous the theft was a
pretty one, aid the case excited no particu

thrown around it by a sympathetic newspa

fact that the culprit spoke a number of
languages, about seventeen, which it was
assumed, entitled him to consideration not

A NEW BAGGING.
It Is to be Made From the Bare Cot
ton Stalk.
Augusta, Ga., April 21.—William E.
Jackson, a well-known lawyer of this city,
has solved the jute bagging problem that
has agitated .cotton circles for so long. Mr.
Jackson has 'perfected mechanical appli
ances for making bagging from tbe cotton
stalk, and he has just returned from New
York with a roll of bagging. Expert cotton
men say that it is in every respect
equal to cotton bagging. He will utilize
the bare stocks from tne fields and cau
afford to pay about $2 a ton laid down.
An annual stalk yield will bale three years’
cotton crop. The machinery comprises
heavily weighted corrugated 'rollers, with
vats of running water, cording machines
and bagging looms.
WHAT IT WILL SAVE THE FARMERS.
It is estimated that in making bagging
from cotton stalk3 $2,000,00: i will annually
go into the pockets of the farmers for what
is now cleared from the fields at an expense.
Augusta will be the headquarters for the
company’s mills and offices, which will
extend from Virginia to Texas. Mr. Jack
son had the roll of bagging, which is exhib
ited, woven by the jute bagging looms of J.
C. Todd at Paterson, N. J., and that expert
source pronounces it equal to its jute rival.
Cotton stalk bagging is less inflammable
and is only a shade darker than jute. Cot
ton circles here are jubilant.
MILLEDGBVTLLE MENTION.
A Vote on the Liquor Question to be
Held May 13.
Mn.LET>GEV!LI.E, April 21.—Ordinary M.
R. Bell ha* called an election on the liquor
question to be held May 13. Four years
ago the first election on this question was
attended with tremendous excitement. The
enthusiasm of both sides seem?, however, to
to have been exhausted at that time, ’so
that the present occasion bids fair to bo de
void of extraordinary interest.
The voters, taken as a whole, are about
equally divided in the county, no majority
having ever been more than fifty.
It is quite likely that the vote at the
coming election will be exceedingly light.

of having a contest between the two.

IS THE SOUL IMMORTAL 7
An Orthodox Churchman and Eminent
Scientist Thinks Not.
From the London Standard.
Yesterday, at the Finsbury Polytechnic,
Prof. Sir G. Stokes, M. P., the president of
the Royal Society, delivered a lecture on
“L” What is it that personal identity de
pends upon and consists in? * * * There
was tho psychic theory, according to which
man consisted of body and soul, the body
being that mass of ponderable matter
which we saw and touched and felt; the sou 1
being that upon which, taking this theory in
its extreme form, thought almost alone de
pended. Many who held thi3 theory sup
posed that the soul was innately, bvits very
nature, immortal. It had been more held
by oersons belonging to the religous world.
Yet this was a theor y which was ra.ber
of the nature of a philosophical specula
tion than of a proposition deduced from
scripture. Dr. Wescott, in his “Gospel of
the Resurkection,” said:
“Not untrequently we substitute for the
fullness of the Christian creed the purely
philosophic cone pfion of the immortality
of the soul, which destroys, as we shall see
hereafter, the idea of the continuance of
our distinct personal existence.”
A bishon whom he himself knew wrote to
him that he was in the habit in his parish
sermons, before he became a bishop, of
pointing out that the dogma of the immor -
tality of the soul was rather a philosophic
theory thau a part of tbe Christian doc
trine.
Another bishop wrote to him expr :ssing
himself in a manner which showed that ho
was perfectly willing to accept this dogma
as not belonging to. as not any necessary
part of, the Christian faith.
Another bishop told him that he avoided
in his sermons speaking qf the immortality
of the soul, because, wnether it was true or
not, ho was not satisfied that it was taught
by scripture.
Prof. Stokes said it appeared that there
were indications in Scripture of a sort of
energy, if he might so term it, lying deeper
down than oven the manifestation of life,
on which the identity of man and his ex
istence and the continuance of his exist
ence depended.
HOW INDIANS GET DRUNK.
Taking Their Whisky With Due Delib
eration and Care of Consequences.
Kirk Monroe in March Scribner.
They will drink whisky (and what Indian
will not), but even in this they observe a
method and a degree of decency that white
topers would do well to imitate. When a
band or family decide to get drunk they
send to the nearest market for one or more
gallons of liquor. In spits of the law for
bidding the sale of intoxicant* to Indians,
they have no difficulty in (hiding white
agents willing to procure the stuff for
them.
It is indeed stuff, and that of the vilest
character, though for it the lodiaus are
made to pay at least double the price of the
best quality’. But what frontier trader
regards it as anything but meritorious to
cheat a redskin?
With the liquor in their possession, the
Indians retire to some remote spot where
their orgies will not be witnessed by any
save them e'ves, and deliberately prepare
for their spree. They first set aside a share
of the “fire water” for the squaws, who will
not touch a drop of it until their lords have
finished their debauch.
All guns, knives and other weapons are
then placed in charge of the squaws, or. if
there are no women in the party, they ora
delivered to one of the men, for whom a
certain amou.it of liquor is reserved. While
the rest are drunk this guardian of the
peace must remain sober and keenly watch
ful of the actions of his companions.
Should be prove unfaithful to his trust,
he will be exiled from the tribe, and no
Indian will hold communication with him
for the term of months or years daring
which his exile is onforced. While the de
bauch of his companions lasts he is absolute
master of the situation, and is at liberty to
use any amount of force, even to the taking
of life,* to repel an attempt to regain posse£
sion of the w oauous. If these are left with
squaws the same rule holds good for them.
The preparations being thus complete 1,
the Indians, unng one small tin cup, which
is impartially handed fro none to another,
proceed to get solemnly, funnily, furiously
and stupidly drunk. The next day it is the
turn of the squaws or of toe man who has
stood guard, and they, too, taste the joys
and sorrows of complete intoxication.
SPECULATORS IN PSTTICO ATS
Ladies Watching with Deep Interest
the Mining Stock Fluctuations.
Ftnmtke Kan."Jt City Star.
Ladies are taking a great deal of interest
in the Mining Exchange, and their interest
u not wh lly aa unselfish one. Every day
they throng the gallery reserved for them
in tbe great hall of the exchange, and look
down upon the crowd cf struggling brokers
in tbe pit with a cariosity teat is not alt>-
ge;her idle, in Denver now. as in San
Francisco in the palmv days cf its famous
exchange, women are noted for their
“plungicg” proclivities, and some of those
who in the beginning were merely specta
tors of the business done on the Kansas
City Exchange are now active participants
through the medium of their brokers.
“Women never have sny conception of
bearing a stock,” said a prominent mining
stock broker as he mopped bis brow after
toe call this morning. “they al vays buv for
aa advance, and thev never hedge. When
they do go in on a gamble of this kind they
plav for a clean winning or a dead loss. No
half-wav, half-hearted ventures for them.
When a woman goes in for a speculation
she plays her hand clear through, and does
it with more nerve than many a man is able
to scratch up.”
Locally interest was first excited among
the ladies by Charley Taylor’s purchase of
the whole offering of the treasury stock of
the Little Nugget, owned by a company of
ladies near Joplin. It was a stroke that
captivated the feminine fancy by reason of
the gallantry they ascribed it to, and not
ore of the ladies who watched the cour-eof
the stock grudged Taylor a nickel of tbe
ig profits he made when the crowd sold
Little Nugget short, while he bad all the
stock in his pocket. But apparently’ that
deal was the suggestive inspiration that
has led to investments by some of the la
dles who at first came only as curious spec
tators.
E. W. Humphrey, who is the broker for
the Argonaut mine, this morning said to a
reporter:
“Id won’t be long before the ladies of
Kansas City deal in mining stocks as freely
as do the ladies in Denver. Within the
last six days I have had six
orders for Argonaut stock on bought
at 16, 1 cent above the opening price of
their account. There was one lady who
the stock on this hoard, and sold the other
day at 20,clearing SBO on the 2,000 shares she
picked up. Noneof the others have done as
well, but they have all made something,
though the stock has dropped off a point or
two. I know several of tbe other brokers
have had orders from ladies, and I don’t
think one of the feminine investors has met
with a loss, because nearly all the stocks
have gone up a few notches. Tell you
their nsmefi Not much, hut you’d be as
tonished were I to tell you one or two of
them,” and the accomplish 'd broker dashed
into the center of the crowd of brokers
that were struggling and shouting in the
pit. When he emerged from the fray he
said:
“I won’t tell you any name, but 1 11 show
you a funny letter I received yesterday.”
The letter read:
"Paola, Kan.—Dear Stir: Please so
kind & sent me 1 share Argnot to my ad
dress. Yours, .
“I inclose 10 stamps (2 cents stamps./’
The letter was evidently written by a lady
and when asked whether lie had sent the
one share, Mr. Humphrey evasively laughed
and said:
"She got back her money’s worth.”
FREAKB OF THL TORNADO.
A Large Flock of Sheep Apparently
Blown Out Into Space.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
G. W. Doyle of Smithfield, Hen
ry county, was in the city yester
day, and told of some remarka
ble freaks performed by the tornado in his
neighborhood, for the truth of which he
vouches. About one mile west of Eminence
lives James Drane, a prosperous farmer.
His farm was directly iu the path of the
tornado. A Mr. Maddox and child, who
lived on the place, was killed by a falling
house, and Mr. Drane’s residence was un
roofed aad his barns demolished.
But the most singular occurrence was
that a large flock of sneep on the farm wa3
picked bodily up by tbe wind and blown
away. The sheep were missed the day fol
lowing the storm and diligent search was
made for them all over the surrounding
country, but no trace of the animals could
he found. So thorough was the search that
it left no doubt in the minds of those en
gaged in it that the sheep were actually
blow n out of the neighborhood.
A few miles further on from the Drane
farm a sink hole was found, into wnich the
tornado had disgorged itself, but had evi
dently held on to its mutton, as none of the
sheep were found in the hole. Into this
hole the tornado bad dropped a large quan
tity of articles, some of which had cer
tainly been brought a long distance, as they
were unknown to the people of that lo
cality. Tbe article attracting most atten
tion was a large, elegantly carved pulpit.
None of the churches m that neighbor
hood had lost a puipit, and among them all
such a lino one could not have been found,
even had the tornado gone around and se
lected tl'.e best. Besnlo the pulpit was a
large qua tity of bed clothing, mattresses,
feather beds, pillows, comfortables, sheets,
eic. The bull; was held down by a number
of tin roofs, which also must have come a
long way, as the roofs of that section were
made of shingles.
