AN IMPORTANT FIND.
Declares It to Be a Sltnm and Frond and
Recalls the Fact That Sixteen Million
Dollars In the l*ab!!c >>obt Were Thrown
Away at the La.t Session of Congress In
the Reckless Rage of I’anisauKui.
Washington, Jau. 81. —When tho
senato convened it was technically a
continuance of tho session of Thursday,
a recess was taken at night. The sil-
>r bond bil, therefore, had immediate
glit of way with Mr. Vilas (Dem.,
fis.) recoguized to speak.
There was a very meagre attendance
and Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) callod at
tention to the^ absence of a quorum.
This necessitated a roll call, which
brought senators from committee and
cloak rooms and disclosed 46 senators
present, ono more than a quorum. Mr.
Vilas then addressed the senate. Ho
said:
“It will doubtless never bo necessary
to discuss tL*s bill as it came to the
house, but it may bo said it deserves its
fato. Strangled by silver. It was but
tho fraudulent pretext of response to the
exigency w icn it professed to meot,
and to rea'-liable suggestions of the
president, which it denied, while it
avowed their wisdom. With the excep
tion of prov Ion for emergency certifi
cates—which ought to stand in the per-
nme , „
thing else w is but mockery of the legis
lation demanded by our fiscal conditions.
And so again, as a year ago, partisan
ship or imbt rility or both, has stricken
congress with paralysis, and the rescue
of businoss prosperity from its recurring
peril has been thrown upon tho execu
tive. It is almost as fortuitous os for
tunate that an old statute has remained
untouched during our financial madness,
which can c rain serve the turn; and al
though in a clumsy way when consid

Reports from the wost say that tho

Caravajol, who was recently released

The city of Valencia, capital of the

He declared that from tho beginning
practical bimetallism had never boon
proposed to congress. He declared that
Senators Teller and Wolcott, as cham
pions of silver, had basod their conten
tions upon a protective foundation.
Refering to the claims of the debtor
class, saying that at best they asked to
have something taken by law from one
class for another class, he claimed that
a freo coinage law would be especially
hard upon pensioners—an unspeakable
and unparalleled outrage. Indeed, such
a pioco of legislation,' would bo, to sum
up, a genuine shame.
Mr. Vilas’ peroration was a vivid
word picture of Democracy, menaced
on the ono hand by federalism rejuve
nated in the Republican party, and on
tho other by that “portentous cloud of
a party never known iu tho days of
Democratic justice, charged with wild
fantastic theories, of social disorder and
wilder schemes of remedy, threatening,
should it grow apace, no ono cau fore
tell what violence of social tempest.’
After reciting the glories of tho old
party of Jefferson and Jackson, the
senator concluded:
“This party will continue on its great
career, yielding neither on ono side or
the other to tho reactionary forces of
old absolutism or the lurid fires of
anarchy.”

SENSATIONAL FIGHT.
Battle Between Revenue Officers and
Moonshiners In Carroll County.
Winston, N. O., Jan. 31.—Them wa*
a sensational fight between revenue offi
cers and moonshiners in Carroll county,
Va., near tho North Carolina lino.
Deputy United States Marshal Wor
rell and Deputy Collector Thornton
were enticed by moonshiners to go near
Fancy Gap to cut tip an illicit distillery.
When the officers arrived within 100
yards of the stillhonse they saw a num
ber of men leaving there.
The officers called upon tho supposed
blockaders to halt, wheroupon tho latter
began firing on tho officers, who re
turned the fire, and a fierce battle fol
lowed. Marshal Worrell was shot down.
His deputy, Thornton, plead for some
time with the moonshiners beforo they
would allow him to care for Worrell.
One of tho blockaders later assisted
Thornton in removing Worrell to an
old house.
The deputy wont after a physician

Declaring that the bill as it came from

Mr. Vilas proceeded to show that tho

that the financial distress and public
misery of the past throe years were the

the mines were owned ty-comparatively

make largo profit on comparatively

its special interests, hardy and resolute
