Washington, Jan. 13.—Members of
the committee on coinage today in dis-
cussing with evident intention to adopt
a resolution declaring in favor of the
free coinage of silver has suddenly re-
vived the movement of prominent
Democrats for a joint caucus to deter-
mine the policy to be adopted by the
party on this prominent issue.
Chairmau Springer of the ways and
means committee was asked this even-
ing for his opinion on today’s action
of the committee and the apparent,
intention to report a free coin-
age bill at an early day.
“I am not surprised at
the proposed action of the committee,’
said he. “It indicates that they will
report a bill for the free coinage of sil-
ver. That has boon expected' from
the well known views of a majority of
the members of the committee. The
only opinion I have expressed on the
subject has not been in opposition to
free coinage, but a conviction that a
free coinage bill could not become a
law because of the president’s veto. I
want to say for the benefit of those
gentlemen who have taken exception
to my New York speech that I
have never assumed any
leadership on the silver question.
In my New York speech I merely stated
a fact, that in view of the political
complexion of the senate and the house
and the presidents well known opposi-
tion to free coinage, no bill could be
passed securing free coirgq?e which
could become a law. It would vetoed
by the president if it did pais the sen-
ate. My assertion was simply as to a
question of fact a fuct which I have
never heard disputed, and which even
my friend Mr. Bland admitted to me a
few days ago. Of course hfe takes the
position that that fact does toot absolve
him from making an effort to pass such
a bill.”
‘•What is your opinion asio the ulti-
mate passage of a free coinage bill
through the House?” .r
“I oould not say as to that. I think
it probable that the committee of Dem-
ocrats will soon take the matter in hand
and have a caucus called on the sub-
ject and whatever is agreed upon at
that caucus will be carried out. For
my part, before any action is taken on
the subject in the House, I am in favor
of a Democratic joint caucus being
called, to bo composed of the Demo-
crats of the House and Senate to con-
sider the question and determine the
policy to bo pursued by the party. As
a Democrat 1 will cheerfully abide by
the action of that caucus as I am sure
be of any assistance Khinem.
they had been preparing for the insur-
rection was demonstrated by the fact
that the mill in which they have taken
refuge was stocked with arms, ammu-
nition und food in preparation for a
long seige when the blow was struck.
How the civil authorities remained in
ignorance of affairs is impossible to
conjecture. Even the subordinate offi-
cials are in sympathy with the move-
ment and even the higher officials can
trust no oae. Colonel Bogue of the
city of Chihuahua, who was in Ascen-
sion at the time of the uprising, has
taken charge of the volunteers.
The Baltimore Investigation.
Vallejo, Jan. 13.—The Baltimore in-
vestigation was completed late this
afternoon. It has lasted six days and
every aspect of the affair has been fully
investigated. The first four days were
taken up with the testimony of men
who relatod their individual experi-
ences during the riot. By these the
facts were clearly brought out that the
attack was premeditated and that the
police and soldiers aided the mob in
their deadly work. The fifth day the
medical officers of the ship testified as
to the wounds received by the
Baltimore’s men and also as
to the criminal neglect of
the wounded sailors in the Valparaiso
hospital, the authorities refusing to
treat the men themselves or to allow
the Baltimore’s surgeons to do so. To-
day several senior officers testified as
to the legal proceedings in Valparaiso,
bringing out clearly the failure of the
Valparaiso court to establish anything
to the detriment of the sailors, and the
care which the judge of crimes exer-
cised in avoiding questions that might
bring forth reflections on the Valpa-
raiso police. Then Captain Schley
took the stand and proceeded to give a
resume of the whole history of the
ship since first reaching Val-
paraiso. Ho spoke over one hour
clearly and forcibly and was listened
to with groat attention by the audience
that crowded the court room. He
showed forth plainly the inception and
growth of the anti-American feeling
among the Chilians and the many dis-
courtesies he was subjected to. He
saw over 70 of his men on shore shortly
before the riots began and they were
all sober. But even if they had not
been he declared he saw no reason
why they should have been visited with
capital punishment for being drunk.
Will Continue the Prosecution.
Chicago, Jan. 13.—Jno. H. Conrad of
Helena, Mont., a son-in-law of the late
Mrs. Barnaby, for whose murder Dr.
Craves has Teoently been convicted at
Denver, arrived here from that city to-
day. “The fellow Craves is sentenced
to be hanged,” said Mr. Conrad and it
is a just sentence and I do not see how
the supreme court can reverse it. As
to Ballou • I need only
quote his own testimony given
at the trial, he admitted
that he was in the conspiracy to rob
Mrs. Barnaby, and that he received
810,000 of the money taken from her.
He was interested in her death to that
extent. As to Grave’s alleged confes-
sion I do not know, but you can say
that every person implicated in this
crime will be hunted down and
brought to justice. The energy I have
shown in the prosecution in Dr. Grave’s
case will be continued against the
others.

A High Priced Horne, jj
Washington, Jan. 13.—Senator Stan-
ford acknowledged today that he had
sold Aaron,the 3-year-old,to J.Malcolm
Forbes of Boston, but refused to name
the price. He says, however, that the
Drice was the highest ever paid for a
horse. It is generally understood that
$150,000 was llie price paid. Forbes
is the well known Boston yachtsman
and ho already owns Nancy Hanks.
Crisp Improving.
Washington, Jan. 13.---Fo^ the first
time since he was seized with the grippe
Speaker Crisp was able this morning
to get up and leave his bed. He sat in
his room for quite a little time in a
dressing gown and slippers. He is
progressing toward recovery as well as
any one could expect.
Vacancies Filled.
Washington, Jan. 13.—The senate
Republican caucus committee today
disposed of the vacancies in the senate
committees caused by the deajth of Sen-
ator Plumb. It wae decided' to reduce
the membership of the appropriation
committee, so that vacancy was dis-
posed of. Senator Dolpli of Oregon
was given the chairmanship of the com-
mittee on public lauds and relinquish-
ed his place as chairman of the com-
mittee on coast defenses to Senator
Squire of Washington. Senator Gil-
liuger of New Hampshire was made
chairman of the committee on trans-
portation routes to the seaboard, for-
merly held by Senator Quay.
Fire at St, Joseph, Mo.
St. Louis, Jan. 13.—A special from
St. Joseph, Mo., dated the 13th, says
that at 12 o’clock the fire department
was called to the extensive carpet
house of J. B. Brady & Co. on Felix
street, between Fifth and Sixth. The
fire had gained such headway that the
work of the firemen seemed to have
little effect and at 1 a. m. it looks as
though the buildiug and stock were
doomed, the who.e valued at perhaps
$300,000. The wholesale jewelry
house of R. W. Hendrick is in the next
building and it is feared that it and
other stores will be destroyed. Across
the street are Chambers, Marney &. Co.
and Geo. L. Roberts’ dry goods stores,
the five story house of the Louis Hat
company, Earnest & Brill’s book store
and Jones, Townsend & Sherman’s
clothing store. The wind being favor-
able these are in danger of destruc-
tion.
Kansas City, Jan. 13.—A special to
the Star from St. Joseph, Mo., says:
At 12:30 o’clock this morning fire was
discovered in the Russell block on Fe-
lix street in the store occupied by the
carpet firm of J. B. Brady & Co. For
a time it looked as if the entire square
including the opera house would go,
but by the hardest kind of labor the
fire was confined to the building occu-
pied by J. B. Brady &
Co. and to Hendricks’ jew-
elry store adjoining. It was
under control by 4 o’clock this morn-
ing. The stock owned by Brady & Co.,
valued at $120,000, is a total loss, the
entire interior of the building being
gutted. This is fully covered by in-
surance. The building is almost a
total loss. It was valued at $25,000,
aud is fully insured. The loss to the
jewelry firm was slight.
The Trouble at Aacencion.
St. Louis, Jan. 13.—A Republic spe-
cial from Deming, N. M., says:
An American named Martinez reach-
ed here from Asceucion, Mex„ today
and reports the revolutionistsistrongly
fortified in a large stone grist* mill in
the outskirts of the town. They num-
ber two hundred well armed men and
are abundantly supplied with food.
The residents are in sympathy with
them aud those who have not joined
them are aiding them in
preparing to meet the troops.
Partial ci\
Jartial civil authority has been Icfestor-
ed by the officials aided by a small
number of volunteers from Gairia and
It;
Casas Gmndes, they have succeeded
in stationing armed guards around the
Custom house aud government build-
ings. This was done to protect the
government property. No attempt has
been made to displace the revolution-
ists from their position nor will there
be until troops come. Garza is report-
ed as issuing ordors to refrain from all
violence until a decisive battle is
fought. .The town is practically des-
erted. No business if5 being trai$Bagted
and all the buildings including private
residences have been barricaded. 'The
flame of revolution has been smoulder-
ing for some time and was doubtless
increased by the news of the Garza re-
Fire at Uleveland, Ohio.
Cleveland! Jan. 13. | The S. M. York
Power block, occupied by a number of
manufacturing establishments, and
abutting on Center street and the
viaduct, was completely demolished by
fire at an early hour this morning. An
incipient blaze in the building had
been quenched at au early hour in the
night with a slight loss and the second
fire completely turned the building and
all the establishments within its walls.
In three minut^uft e r the alarm had
been turned in it' seemed as though the
entire building from the bottom
to top floor was a mass
of flames. The wind was blowing a
fierce gale from the northeast and the
fire threatened every moment to ignite
the buildings of the Cleveland Shop
Building company on the opposite
of the Viaduct, but by hard work
side
they
were saved. Before half the fire eq
giues that were called had arrived the
burning building was in flames aud in
an almost incredibly short time the
walls began to fall. The building and
contents were entirely destroyed. The
building was occupied by the Cham-
pion Safety Lock company, George
Hazenplug, president; the Kean aud
Dooley Manufacturing company, man-
ufacturers of builders hardware, aud
the National Iron and Fire compauy,
C. F. Brafedt, president. The loss oil
the building is placed at 840,000 by
Chief Dickinson and the loss of the
firms doing business in the building
will aggregate about 8100,000, making
a total loss of about 8140,000. The ex-
The Street Car Strike.
Indianapolis, Jan. 13.—The strike of
the employees of the Citizens Street
Railway company of this city which
has resulted in a complete tie up of all
the different lines of the system was
declared off at 0 o’clock this evening.
The strikers consented to return to
work providing President Frenzel
would hear a committee of the brother-
hood relative t i their grievances and
in the event of a failure by this plan
the matter was to be settled by arbitra-
tion. After much pressure had been
brought to bear upon President Fren-
zel he Anally consented to the proposi-
tion. The strikers have conducted
themselves honorably throughout the
fight.

yet exercised that right. He wrote
three letters today. One to his mother
in relation to some manuscript he had

The warden has received a great many

him to treat the doctor kindly and
grant him all the privileges possible
and not to abuse him. If these people
knew Warden Bill Smith as well as the
