Newspaper Page Text2 BLAND’S BILL IN A HOLE. HB WILL.MAKE ANOTHER ATTiMPT TO PUT IT THROUGH. An Analysts of the Votes On Thurs day Makes Bis Chance of Success Look Slttn-One Majority for Free | Coinage Figured Out on the Basts of a Full Vote. Washington, March 25. —The Bland bill b dead. Its opponents were not only more successful last night than they had ex pected, but more successful than they real Axed. They were seeing and saying this to day, however. So were the republicans, who, under ex-Speaker Reed's lead, voted with the anti free coinage democrats last night. Chairman Bland himself admitted it privately. Representative Bierce, his chief lieutenant, admitted it puhlloly. Both said that if it were not for Speaker Crisp they would give up, but that he in sisted on trying to revive the bill, claiming xhat its death would bring disaster to the democrats in the south. Speaker Crisp is one of the few free coinage democrats who were not seriously discouraged to-day. Representatives Bland, Pierce, Bartine and m at of the others wore not only disheartened but demoralized. The anti-free ooinage democrats, aid especially Representatives Williams, Mutchler, An dre vs, Tracey and the other leaders were delighted with the surprising success they had achieved and felt con Aden t that it could not be taken from them. crisp’s plans. Speaker Crisp, who has now taken com. ■sand of the free coinage fight, vice Chair man Bland, who is sick in body as well as in heart, proposes to report from the commit tee on rules on Monday, with the alii of Representative McMillin, who has prom ised to stand by him in spite of the efforts made last night and to-day to change his position, and Representative Catchings, who will return Sunday from Mississippi, a rule providing for an immediate vote (on Tuesday at farthest) upon the Bland bill. tt he oau carry this through the House be thinks' the bill may yet be passed. It is obvious from lost night’s vote that the proposed closure rule can only tie carried by the addition to the free coin age strength of republioan votes, for the tree coinage democrats polled practioally their full available strength. ATTITUDE OF THE REPUBLICANS. Borne of the republicans, whose seal to make political profit outruu their discre tion, are urging Representative Reed to let enough republicans vote for the rule to carry it. But Representative Reed, who realises fully the consequences of the attitude taken by the majority of the republicans on the con sideration vote two weeks ago, puts aside this advloe as he did the advloe from the same men last uigbt to throw the republican strength in favor of She bill. “That is nonsense," he is quoted as saying for this advice. He felt and feels the responsibility of the republic ans, and if be is followed, and be probably will be, he will throw the full republican strength against the rule. The anti-free coinage democrats, enoouraged by suooess, will gain rather than lose, aud the free ooinage democrats, disheartened by failure, will lose rather than gain, so that the chances are distinctly against the adoption of the rule. HAS A POOR SHOW IN ANT OABS. But supposing it is adopted. The chances ■re all in favor of the success of a motion to table the bill or to substitute tne inter national oonferenoe project. If it oomes to a direct vote on the bill, the ehances would of course be in its favor, but that contin gency is regarded as remote by two-thirds of the House. The practical defeat of the Bland bill was the great topic at the Capitol all day, and was talked about at the hotels and clubs this evening. Ex-President Cleve land's friends and enemies alike saw in it merely encouragement for those who desire his nomination. Tbs friends of Senators Hill and Gorman and other senatorial presi dential oarididatoß were glad that they would be spared the danger of voting on the bill in the Senate, although, as one of them said, “it would be just like Senator Vest to spring a free coinage substitute on the Senate when the international confer ence bill comes up," and President Harri son’s friends were glad that he would prob ably uot have to define bis position agaiu On the silver question. THE FIGHT TO BB LIVELY. By the Aaociated Frets. Washington, March 25.—1f Representa tive Catching* of Mississippi returns to Washington in time a special order will be brought into the House Monday for the im mediate consideration of the Bland silver bill and pending amendments. The anti silver democrats have teen informed of this Intention and will use every means in their power to defeat the special order. They are preparing to appear before the committee cn rules and insist that If the silver bill be taken from the calendar of unfinished busi ness and forced to a vote the special order shall also contain a provision for the protec tion of the minority by providing for a vote upon certain motions to be offered, includ ing one for a recommittal of the bill to the committee with instructions to report back a bill or substitute to provide for an inter national monetary congress. bland’s plan. Mr. Bland during the afternoon disclosed his plan by the introduction of a resolution fixing Monday, March 28, as the date on which the bill for free coinage of silver, and the eight pending amendments shall 'be taken up and put upon its passage. Accom panying the resolution is a provision giving the speaker power to refuse to en tertain any dilatory motion. By this means the silver men expect to prevent filibuster ing and to bring the matter to a speedy termination. ANDREWS CONFIDENT. Representative Andrews of Massa chusetts, one of the leaders in the fight against silver, and who has kept a olose tally on tbe votes, said this afternoon that be was of the opinion that they oould beat the special order of the oommittee provided the republicans would sup port the anti-silver democrats, aud vote as they dirt on Representative Burrows' motion. The fight against the resolution, be said, depends upon the repub licans, and they at present are uot disposed to aid the anti-silver democrats, their lead ers stating that they believe each party should squarely align on the issue. There are several democrats who voted with the ■ilver men yesterday upon whom the antis say they cau rely for support against aDy special order cutting off amend ments, and these few votes, they say would be sufficient to change tbe result with the republican aid. If beaten on the order the enU-silver men wifi fight the bill itself with a substitute provid ing for an international monetary conference. Tbe resolution of Mr. Bland makes the special order apply to the bill ar.d the pending amendments. One of these amendments proposes a mone tary conference as a substitute measure, and an effort will be made to have this adopted and the free coinage bill thereby ■helved for the present. THE REPUBLICAN PHALANX. Mr. Andrews said this afternoon that the republicans had informed him that he oould not rely upon ttielr solid support (ex clusive, of course, of tbe eleven rllvbr re publicans; upon the vote on this prop,,si tiou, aud that they would veto together Only upon tbo direct free oolnage issue. He still hopes, however, that as the antl ■ilver democrats have shown that the Dem ocratic party in the House canuot pats a frae coinage measure without some re publican rote,, tbe republicans will consent to endeavor t< kill tbe measure In aver way possible. Hhouid the monetary conference piopositioii fell, tne anti-silver democrats still hope t < tent tbe bill on a direct vote. They understand that Mr. E ll ittof Kouth Carolina will support iheiu, Uiougu without definite assurances from that gentleman, as be was paired with Mr. Sanford (republican!, they thereby lost two votes. It is also intimated that the result will be close, but they entertain hopes of winning. AV ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE. In view of tbe extreme closeness of the two sides on tbe silver question as disclosed by last night’s vote an analysis of tbe tie vote on the test motion of Mr. Burrows of Michigan t > lay the Bland bill on tbe table will be interesting. On this motion each sine secured 148 votes and thirty-five mem bers are put down as not voting, of which number tbe Congreuional Htcord shows that twenty were announced to be pair and on this vote, leaving fifteen unpaired. Of the 148 votes cast m favor of the motion 82 were cast by tbe democratic members of the House and 66 by tbe republican members. The negative Vote'shows the names of eleven republicans, the other IST being either d-mocr ats or aili an-emen. Thejunexpectedly large showing of democratic votes against the silver bill ooinas from the following states: Mew York 19, Pennsylvania 10, Wisconsin 7, Massachusetts 7, lowa 5, New Jersey, Ohio aud Maryland 4 each; Illinois, Connecticut and Michigan 3 each; New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Louisiana and Minnesota 2 eaob; South Carolina, 1 (Mr. Brawley); Delaware, 1; West Virginia. 1 (Mr. Wilson) ; Missouri, l (Mr. Cobb), and California, 1 (Mr. Geary). THE REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION. The eleven republican votes opposed to Mr. Burrows' motion are scattered over tbe far west, only one vote, that of Vincent A. Tavlor of Ohio, coml- g from east of the Mississippi river. Ka saa contributed two In Messrs. Broderick and Funston, South Dakota two more, Messrs. Pickier and Jol ley, while the other six votes came from as many different states: Colorado, Mr. Town send; Wyoming, Mr. Clark; Nevada, Mr. Bartine; California, Mr. Bowers; Idaho, Mr. Sweet, and Oregon, Mr. Herrman. The pairs announced were as follows; Mr. Enoch with Mr. Tarsney, Mr. Sanford with Mr. Elliott, Mr. Durborow with Mr. Hooker of Mississippi, Mr. Morse with Mr. Catchings, E. B. l'aylor of Ohio with Mr. Oates, Mr. Van Horn with Mr. Johnston of South Carolina, Mr. Henderson of Illinois with Mr. Peel, Mr. Rusk with Mr. Como ten and W. A. Stone with Mr. Jones of Virginia, the names first given in each cases being members who would have voted against tbe bill and the latter those who would have voted for the measure. THOSE wno FAILED TO VOTE. Following is a list of the members who were not announced as paired and who failed to vote either way: Messrs. Campbell, Wadsworth and Stahlneckur of New York. Forman, Wtko and Spriuger of Illinois, Cooper of Indiana, Clover of Kansas, Cheatham of North Carolina, Donovan of Ohio, Shell of South Carolina, Herbert of Alabama, Lester of Virginia, Boatner of Louisiana, and Enloe of Tennessee. Before the vote was dually announced Messrs. Herbert aud Enloe aiked leave to vote, but under the rules they were refused. Their votes would have offset each other, thus leaving thirteen men on whose vote in an absolutely full House the result would have hinged. Of thess thirteen members Messrs. Clover, Cooper, Lester of Virginia, Shell and Wike, on a subsequent test vole, voted with the silver men and Mr. Wadsworth with the auti-silver men, while pairs in favor of the bill wore announced on the part of Messrs. Boatner and Forman, and against the bill for Mr. Stahlnecker. These announcements show seven more votes for the sllverites and two more for tbe antt-silveritos, leaving Timothy J. Campbell of New York , Mr. Cheatham, a republican of North Carolina, Mr. Donovan of Ohio, aud Mr. Springer still unaccounted for. ONE MAJORITY FOR FREE COINAGE. This on an absolutely full vote leaves at least one majority for the silver men; but in this connection It must be stated that a full vote Is practically unknown In the House, and that the silver men concede that when it comes to a very dose vote they are less able than their opponents to count on every member. The situation Is less encouraging to the silver men when they came to consider their future course, as the large showing made has un questionably strengthened their opponents, and some men who have always voted in favor of free coinage have sldco expressed themselves as disinclined, for political reasons, to further push the matter. To wbut extent this feeling would influence subsequent votes is unknown. DULL IN THE HOUSE. The End of the Silver Skirmish Makes Business Appear Tame. Washington, March 25.— After the storm the calm. Not fifty members were present this morning when the speaker’s gavel called the House to order. Not more than one hundred spectators looked down upon the arena of yesterday’s battle. But the calm is only temporary. The strength which the anti-silver men mauifested yes terday was as muoh a surprise to them as to the advocates of the bill. On both eides there is a smoldering fire which requires but a spark to set It into a blase. Mr. Harter of Ohio is exultant at the result of the votes, but Mr. Bland of Missouri is confident that the silver men will be ultimately successful. He says that a special order will be made ns soon as Chairman Hatchings, of the com mittee on rules, returns to the city, which will not be later than on Monday next. After the approval of the journal the House went into committee of the whole on the private calendar. Throe hours were consumed in the con sideration of the bill for the relief of the personal representatives of Henry H. Bib ley, inventor of the “Sibley” teut, but no determination was reached. The committee having arisen, the House adjourned. The evening session was dispensed with, at the suggestion of Mr, Martio of Indiana, who made the suggestion lu view of the fact that for the past three evenings tbs sessions have been very protracted. Session of the Senate. Washington, March 25.—The Senate, at 12:30 o'olock, on motion of Mr. Sherman, went into exeoutive session. At 3 o’clock the doors were reopened and legislative business was resumed. The Senate hill appropriating $400,000 for a publio building at Helena. Mont., was taken from the calendar and passed. Legislative business was agaiu suspended, and the remainder of the day's session was devoted to a tribute of respect to Senator Hearst of California, who died in March last. Eulogies were pronounced by Messrs. Stanford. Vest, Stewart, Voorhees, Bate, Dolph, Morgan and Felton. The Senate then adjourned at 4:15 o’clock till Monday. FORMALLY ADMITTED. Kuseell Harrison Secures a Seat in the Press Gallery. Washington, March 25.— Russell B. Har rison, the son of the President, was formally admitted to the press galleries of the two houses by tbo press committee to-day as the Washington correspondent of the Journal, bis paper at Helena, Mont. Thereupon a score of tbe newspaper men entitled to ad mission to the gallery signed a request to the pi ess committee to reconsider tbe action taken. No ground was given, but it is sup posed that the prutestauts object either on tbe ground that liarrisou is an agent or representative of persons or corp .ratious who have legislation before congress, or his chief attention is not giveu to uewspaper correspondence, although he certified under the rules lu writing to the contrary on each case, His admission will probably stand. The World - * Fair Inquiry. Washington, March 25.—Tbe Dockery world’s fair investigating subcommittee of tba House Committee on appr nr.atoms will Mil leave Washington for Chicago until after the kllvei question is 1 sjxseed of In tha I Host.-.

Atlanta, Ga., March AY—To-morrow is the day set by the national committee of tbe People’s party for ratification of tne action of the St. Louis convention by tbe people. Meetings are called to be held throughout the country. Delegates are to be elected in Georgia to county conventions. Great in terest is manifested in the result of the day’s meetings. The fate of the People's party will practically be decided. The Georgia third party leaders, however, do not think the real sentiment in regard to the new party will be shown until the county alliances meet in April, when their action will show the strength of tbe movement in this state. A good deal of uneasiness is being mani fested by the democrats here during the past few days. Prominent party men, who heretofore ignored the new political move ment, now freely declare that the democrats should organize at onoe and begin a vigor ous campaign, fighting the People’s party movement squarely. COL. BHITH’S VIEWS. Col. J. M. Smith, a mem tier of the state executive committee, said, in speaking of the developments since the St. Louis con vention: "I am afraid the organized democracy underestimates the strength of tbe tnird party moveme .t in Georgia, and the importance of organizing againit in. I have taken some pains in investigating it, and my experience is that there are a great intuy men who will go off with this movement. If we had speakers in the field, and would expose some of the fallacies of thus party, it might determine a great many not t > leave the democratic fold. There are so many farmers who have failed to prosper that they charge it all to one or to tbe other of the old parties, and are will iug to try anything that holds out any promise of relief.” VIGOROUS WORK NECESSARY. Chairman Atkinson, of the democratic slate oommittee, was in Atlanta yester day . Col. Atkinson is fully awakened to tbe activity of the third party men, and is in favor of vigorous work by the democrats toward organisms to defeat the threatened danger. Chairman Atkinson has reason to understand tbe situation. He will have opposition from the new party in his own race for congress in the Fourth district, he being an announced candidate for the democratic nomination against Representa tive Moses. It is generally understood that Hon. Henry Persons, who defeated Henry R. Harris for congress several years ago, will make the raco for congre-s as th* nominee of the third party. Cart. Persons is one of the most popular men in tbe district, and has a strong bold on the people. WRICKED BY DRUGS. A Morphine and Cocaine Victim Peases a Forged Check. Atlanta, Ga., March 25. —The arrest of G. H. Mouton, a Frenchman who olaims New Orleans as his home, this morning de veloped one of the worst cases of the oocaine habit ever brought to public notice hero. Tbe man, who evidently had Been better days, whs charged with forging a chock for ♦7 50 to secure a supply of the terrible drug from a druggist. Moulin appeared among the city drug gists less than a month ago, and at various places endeavored to estatilish his ere lit on the ground that he was a regular prac ticing physician, he did not have an air of prosperity about him, but, to the con trary, was decidedly seedy and unkempt, while his acts at times were like those of a drunken man. It was soon discovered that Moulon was a victim of the morphine and oocaine habits. VV bat little money he spent with them was invariably for these drugs, lie managed to obtain credit at Dr. Gregory's pharmacy and ran up a hill there. On St. Patrick’s day he appeared at the store and presented a check for $7 50, which bore the name of Samuel Weil, the well xnown lawyer. The check lay in the drug gist’s draw until yesteidey, when he turned it in with others in payment of his rent. Yesterday afternoon the check was returned to the druggist dishonored. It was a forgery. Mr. Weil hart never signed it. In desperation the man had committed forgery in order to satisfy bis craving for oocaine and morphine. The man’s body was found to be oovered with scars and sores made by the hypodermio syringe. Several of his finger nails had dropped off, and he was a most abject sight. He says that he uses every day forty grains of cocaine aud forty grains of morphine, and oould not live without it. POWELL’S TRIAL. He Is Convicted of Murder—Llfo Im prisonment Recommended. Trenton, Ga. , March 25. — William Pow ell, alias Wilson Palmer, who was at the last September term of the state superior court oonvioted of the murder of Pat Raw land, a penitentiary guard at Cole City, and sentenced to hang, was at the present term granted anew heuriog, and three days were consumed in the trial; more than one day was taken up in securing the requisite num ber of jurors who had not formed an opiuion os to his guilt. The case went to the jury at 12 o’clock to-day, and at 3 o’clock they re turned a verdict of guilty with the reoom meudation to life imprisonment. The trial of Seaborne La dsdowne, one of his accomplices, is set for Monday . It will be a hard matter to secure a jury in his case. Palmer's counsel, John W. Echols, of Pitts burg, Pa., left to-night for Atlanta to urge the principal keeper of the penitentiary to transfer Palmer to the conviot camp in Oglethorpe county. FARMER’S CASE. Ha Claims That He Can Fully Establish His innocence. Athens, Ga., March 25.—Judge George C. Thomas, attorney for young James A. Farmer, who gave himself up to the New York polioe to be sent back to Jackson county to answer the charge of murder, re ceived a telegram from Farmer to-day, in whioh he states that he gave himself up because he was tired of travel ing about, and that he was confident be could establish his innocence before any Impartial jury.

Leonard is a superannuated preacher and with bis family lives on their little farm about eight miles east of this city.

Mrs. En nis, a relative of Mrs. Leonard, spent the evening with her, and when the hour for departure arrived Mrs. LAmard ac companied her part of tbe way home, tbe iwo ladips walking. The supposition is that upon the return of Mrs. Leonard to the house the deadly bl *s wero dealt by a would-be burglar. “Who is the author of the crime ("is a question that no o;:e can solve. A coroner’s jury was impaneled and an examination of the wounds made, but further investigation was postponed until next week, with the hope of having more evidence. That the crime was committed to conceal attempted burglary is evident from tbd fact that the contents of several trunks were emptied on the floor and the dishes in the kitchen were found scattered about the tables. A bag of cooked potatoes, meats, etc., was found near the fence over which Mr. Leonard saw the negro leap, and a pair of pants is said to have teen found all BESMIRCHED WITH BLOOD. Mrs. Leonard was buried this evening at Black Springs church. Suspicion pointed to several parties, but only one arrest has been made, aud he was released from lack of evidence.

The state case showed how the long and short haul rates discriminate against inte rior towns. Vice President Knox of the Louisville and Nashville gave testimony to show that by oomplyiug with the rules of the commis sion the railroads would be run at a great loss. The railroads also introduced Col. Pow ers of tbe Georgia railroad commission, as an expert to prove that tho same state of things would follow If they had to charge the same rate on a long haul as on a short haul.
