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 ered with reference to existing condi answer to President Foruande thanking him for tho information, and asking him to sond all documents be might discover which could aid the work of tho special commission ongagod hero in copying and preparing maps, etc., for tho boundary commission appointed by President Cleveland. Reports from the wost say that tho revolution there still continues. Gen eral Ricart, who had started for Cara cas, returned, and in a fight with the rebels captured four of their leaders. Caravajol, who was recently released from tho Rotunda, has been rearrested Puerto Cabello. The city of Valencia, capital of the state of Carabobo, has been left in dark- becauso of a fight with an electric light company. A contract was mauo by the authorities with an American to light tho city, but an Englishman named Lomax, who was in control of tho plant, refused to allow the oloetric current to be turned on. Great confusion has been caused by tho trouble. tions and suitable measures of relief, yet it shows God’s pity and mercy are not wholly withdrawn from us. “If any trusted agent in privato affairs should so deny duty and abuse trust as congress did a year ago and repeats, no judgment in their con Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE metallism! l>nt alas! what is it anu where is it? Liko dreams that wane be fore the half shut eye or gay castles in tho clouds that pass, forever flitting in the 8omm?r sky, always dancing beforo the vision, always something to be pained, but never realized, tho glitter ing bauble has flittered ou afar beforo tho fatuous pursuit on which tho public has so long been conducted, not always to disappear save in the pleasing speech of silvor advocates, while the realities of gain could be matched by tho other and mastering purpose.” 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.” o Work. 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 for his fnona, but on his return homo the moonshiners set upon him and beat him unmercifully, if not fatally. Great indignation exists over the a KILLING AT MORGAN. damnation would be too severe. Over 816,000,000 in the public debt were thon thrown away in the reckless rage of partisanism; and the injury that must now be sustained by tho people for tho samo reaso i is probably no less, al though the xoct measure of it is not quite so cloar. Then Republican man agement was able to show pretense that but for the Populists and free silverites there might have been relief. It was not true then; and this bill has now un masked the fact by denying under Re publican dictation the only remedy THOSE RICH GOLD FIELDS. Colorado Mining Engineer Proposes to Take a Colony to Vencxucl*. Denver, Jan. 81.—Edward McFar- lauo, a well known mining engineer of Colorado, and founder of tho town of Tclluridc, has returned from the gold regions of Northorn South America, oc- ipying two years. Mr. McFarlaue proposes to organizo a colony, proceed to Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, apply for concessions from the government and lend the party to the gold fields in tho disputed territory, which, he says, are tho richest in tho world.

Louis convention: William Pitt Kellogg, A. H. Leonard, Henry Homas, J. Madison Vanco Thomas A. Cage finally beat the com bination formed against him early in the day, and was again elected perma nent chairman of the body. In order to clinch tho chairmanship of the state central committee he had himself named for tho place by the full convention ! available to the increased mischief. Declaring that the bill as it came from tho house was a mere sham and fraud, Mr. Vilas proceeded to show that tho senate amendments made it worse than the original measure. “It was a bad stock, “he asserted, thoilgh it has been budded with a warm scion. The best hope is that both will shrivel and die in the desert air of tho The house passed a bill granting the Christian Endeavor society tho uso of somo of the government reservations in Washington during their meeting here next summer. Mr. Jenkins (Rep., Wis.) called up the elections committee report on tho contest of Rosenthal (Rep.) versus Crowley, from the Tonth Texas district. He explained that Mr. Rosenthal had decided not to avail hirasolf of tho cour tesy of an hour’s speech granted Thurs day. Accordingly the unanimous report in Crowley’s favor was adopted without debate or division. Mj\ Evans (Rep., Ky.), who was at time commissioner of the internal revenue, reported from the committee on ways and moans a bill to amond sec tion 8255 of the revised statutes so as to extend the exemptions therein allowed dealers in brandios.distillod from prunes, apples and grapes to brandies distilled from pears, pineapples, oranges and berries. The bill had been recom mended by the commissioner of inter nal revenue and was passed. In tho senate, he said, Midas is the horror of horrors, everything turns to silver. He said he had hitherto eluded that it was the wisest policy to sit quiet and allow (he silver advocates the talking, as they habit of doing at the ratio of about 16 to 1, but he had heard it asked why the opponents of free coinage did not jus tify their faith in debate. Ho then proceeded at considerable length to discuss the free coinage pro vision of the pending bill, declaring that the financial distress and public misery of the past throe years were the dir-'ct products of tho efforts to force silver upon tho couutry, “and,” he said, “our course to relief is a return to souud principles.” Ho believed espe cially that every step of the fatal pro gress iu error had been opposevi to tho cardinal doctrines on which the Demo cratic party is based, and by which it must abide or sink in recreancy while tho spirit flies from our institutions of liberty. Charleston, Jan. 81.—The case to set aside the sale of the Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad to Messsrs. Thomas and Ryan came up in the United States circuit court. Messrs.

Tho keenest and best trained intellects, he said, were enlisted by this solid interest which was pos sessed of “great strength of numbers and riches, powerful in intelligence, learning and skill; keenly perceptive of its special interests, hardy and resolute to seek it.” That interest was into win, to secure the best price for silver. He declared the people of the Rocky monutains to be subservient to the mine holders. “The veriest, despot of story, the ‘ grand Kahn’ of Tartary, the great mogul, never had more submissive sub jects than tho silver king of the Rockies: nor was ever tyrant more pitilessly «— acting. No independence of thought speech is tolerated there; no party, no creed, no - business can thrive which dares to donbt in the realm of that monarch, the law of finance as it is in silver. The business man finds it pru dent to say nothing, and os for the pol itician who dares to flout his independ ence, woo betide him. “Where,” he exclaimed, “is that sturdy senator, the brave, unbending Carey? Where is Dolph, the strong, able and indefatigable? Look on the bloody Moloch of silver to learn their fate.” He traced the past legislation in tho interest of silver to the theorp of pro tection, which hd characterized as vicious and wicked. The senator then S ed to a review not only of silver [on, but of silver production and coinage in the United States, showing that the production was small before the civil war. “Bimetallism is,” he said, “a hij sounding, splendid word.

Dozier drew his pistol and forced Keaton to surrender and placed him in jail. Keaton and Lingo had been drinking together, which resulted in an alterca tion and fisticuff. They were separated, but Keatou got away from the man who had hold of bim, and walking over to Lingo, in a manner indicating a desire to make friends, he drew his pistol and emptied it, every shot taking effect.

Lexington, Ky., Jan. 31.—The execu tive committee of the W. O. T.

The board deolined to give out a copy of the protest until it shall have bsen mailed to Secretary Herbert and Miss Harriet B. Richardson of this city, who had been selected by tho secretary to chris ten the ship, and who asked the privi lege of using Old Bourbon for that pur pose. Miss Richardson has made the followingstatement: •The W. 0. T. U. is premature in its action, as there has been no official an nouncement as ’to what the Kentucky will be christened with.
