TW08ILVERITES TALK

Senator Harris and Congressman Newlands Interviewed.

POLITICS IN THE NEXT SENATE.

Tlirce Parties, Neither One- of "Which Will

Have a Majority—The West and the

South United on the Financial Question.

An Important Issue in the Next Presi

dential Campaign.

MEMPHIS, April 22.—In an interview here Senator Harris, when asked, "senator, do you think the Democrats will be able to organize the senate next December V" he replied: "There will be three political" orgaii izations in the senate when it meets in December, neither one of which will have a majority. The Republicans will have throe or four more votes than the Democrats, and the Populite senators will hold the balance of power. In this condition of aifairs neither party can, of itself, organize the senate, and while I, as an individual senator, am resolved to do full and exact justice to the Populite senators in the organization, yet I will not consent to compromise a single Democratic principle for the purpose of securing the power to reorganize the senate." "What is your opinion as to the dominonce of the free silver sentiment in the south and west in relation to the campaign of 1890?" "The utilization and rehabitation of silver to, its position as a money metal and a money of ultimate redemption and in connection with gold, as the regulator of volume or amount of that thing called money, is overwhelmingly strong in the south and west, and in my opinion ought to be strong an conclusive everywhere. "If people would recognize the undeniable fact that money is purely the creature of law, it is now, always was and always must be just what the law of its own country makes it and when it passes beyond the limits of your own country, it is not money, but immediately becomes a commodity which goes upon the market at its market value, just as your bale of cotton, hogshead of tobacco or bushel of wheat goes upon the foreign market at its value. "I assert and maintain that it is the duty of the congress of the United States to establish and maintain a financial system responsive to the necessities "and convenience of the 70,000,000 people that we represent without regard to the outside world. "Silver must have its place in the policy of this country and the parties of 1896 may look well to it as an issue that will not down but must be heard and answered." "Now, as to the question as to whether the United States should establish its financial policy in conformity with the financial polices of other commercial countries, or a policy which will meet the necessities and convenience of its own 70,000,000 of people. I want to suggest that I got up the statistics in the latter part of the year, 1893, showing the results of our foreign and interstate commerce for 20 preceding years. The balance of trade with other countries was against us only four of the 20 years and aggregating for the four years less than $70,000,000, while for the 10 other years of the 20 the balance of trade was in our favor averaging over $10,000,000 a year. "While I would be glad to have an international agreement to utilize all the gold and all the silver of the world 3it an agreed ratio, I am ready to establish a financial system of the Unitad States which does recognize both metals and makes them legal tender money for all purposes and admits them to the same rights of coinage. "Up to 1873 gold and silver held their respective places, as the money metals of the world, but in 1873, the capitalistic influences not only of the United States but of the commercial world decided to double the purchasing power of their capital by demonetizing one or the other of the money metals, no matter which, so that demonetizing either on the volume or amount of money would be reduced one-hall", which would double the purclnising power of every remaining dollar. "Capital has leisure, capital has influe7.ee, capital lias power, but unfortunately capital lias no conscience. Capital has silver demonetized when 412 1-2 grains of standard silver dollar was worth on the markets of the world 3 cents more than a gold dollar, and capital and its cohorts are now rampant in urging the adoption of the gold standard and mincing everything to that gold standard."

NEWLANDS' INTERVIEWED.

IFn 1 Sacks Up His Views With a Precedent

I' l-om .Japan.

Nr.w YORK, April 22.—Francis G. Newlands, member of congress l'rom Nevada, is at the Holland House. He told this story to a reporter of a former effort to force .Japan to adopt the gold standard: "It was during the time that James G. i»laine was secretary of state. I received a letter from the state department, introducing to me a number of •Japanese, comprising a commission who were in this country to investigate our money stystem. They told mo that ail agent from England had been in Japan trying to get their government to demonetize silver. They talked with Senators Htmvart, Jones, Teller, Sherman and ot hers. They were warned not to think of allowing silver lo bo discarded as a money metal. The result of their investigation is that, today Japan is the the great power of the Orient. "What would have been the result had Japan done as England wished? When this question of war with China arose, Japan could not have carried on the war had she been oil a gold basis without first consulting England. A gold loan would have resulted and England would have had Japan by the throat. even as she has us t.nrioc

FEUD RESULTS IN A BATTLE.

Two of the Principals Fatally Injured and

a Little Girl Shot.

BROOKLYN, April 22.—As the outcome of a feud a battle was fought in the eastern district about 5:30 last night, and two men are fatally injured and seven others are under arrest. A girl was also shot during the fight. The men are all Italians. About two months ago John Orsello, aged 38 years, heard that scandalous stories were being circulated about his wife and daughter by Carmino Sessa.

Orsello sent him a letter notifying him that there would be trouble if he did not desist. Sessa received the letter on Saturday night and laughed at it. Orsello's friends told him of this yesterday and taunied him with being afraid. Orsello secured a Winchester rifle and started out after his wife's slanderer. He found him sitting near a window at his home on North Second street. Orsello opened fire from the street wounding Sessa in the left arm and in the left shoulder.

A number of Sessa's friends in the house came to his rescue armed with pistols and guns. A fusillade followed, and one of Sessa's friends, Lugi Deprisco, 28 years old, received a bullet in his body from Osello's rifle, or from a pistol in the hands of one of the latter's friends who had followed him. Sessa was again shot in the abdomen, but by whom is not known.

In the midst of the shooting Annie Decker, 13-years-old, passed by and a bullet struck her, passing through her thigh. Sessa and Deprisco are believed to be fatally injured, and Coroner Creomer was notified to take their antemortem statements. The girl's condition is serious.

An Italian Woman Instantly Killed.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.—Angelista Barbo, an Italian 'woman, aged 53 years, was almost instantly killed last night by a blow from a hatchet in the hands of Donato Manna, aged 34. A feud had long existed between Manna and the woman, and her husband, Antonio Barbo. Mrs. Barbo and Manna met last night, and she accused Manna of having slandered her.

Hot words followed, and, seizing a hatchet, the woman struck Manna on the head and waist. He started to run away, but was pursued by Barbo and caught. A fierce struggle occurred, and Manna, wresting the hatchet from the hands of the woman, struck her on the forehead, crushing in the skull. Manna's wounds are of such a character that his death is momentarily expected.

LIVELY INSURGENTS.

Government Troops Worsted in All the

Ilecent Engagements in Cuba.

NEW YORK, April 22.—The Ward line steamer Niagara has just arrived from Cienfuengos and Santiago, Cuba. It was learned from one of the passengers that a very lively state of things existed at the seat of war.

The insurgents had a following of 10,000 men, 8,000 of whom were well armed. Many encounters has already taken place in which the government troops had been worsted. The officials made very light of these engagements, the passenger said, and claimed a victory wherever they had the slightest encounter with the insurgents. The Spanish troops lately arrived from Spain were said to be in a wretched state, having suffered greatly from yellow fever and from fatigue in pursuing small bodies of the insurgent troops over the mountains.

Quesada in New York City.

NEW YORK, April 22.—Cespedes

I'ilibnstering Party

Quesada, a son of the martyr of the last Cuban revolution, was a passenger on the frencli steamship La Champagne, which arrived yesterday from Havre. He was met at the pier by 200 people, representing 13' societies of revolutionists, who made him welcome and a banquet was spread for his edification.

Senor Quesada said the French people are in favor of the revolutionists. In England the government is a little jealous of the power that the United States may gain in case Cuba became free. For that reason the English uro not enthusiastic. If necessary, Quesada says he will go to Cuba and take the field.

Itonte to Cuba.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 22.—Agents of the Cuban revolutionists, who have been recruiting men in this state and Louisiana for several weeks, make the statement that a filibustering party numbering 300 or 400 men sailed from a point near (!edar Keys, Fla., some time during the

£^!st

week, for Cuba. It is

said that they carried no more arms than they could conceal about their persons, but that they will be fully equipped, upon their arrival at the island. No further details of the expedition are given.

DEATH OF LULIE MONROE POWERS.

She Was the Kditor of the Only Atheistic Paper Published in This Country.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 22.—Yesterday Lulie Monroe Powers, editor and proprietor of The Iron Clad Age, the only atlieistie paper published in the country, died IT. tuberculosis after a confinement to her home of only two weeks.

The. Iron Clade Age was established in this city 15 years ago by Dr. Clyde Monroe, who came here from Seymour. He conducted the paper in bitter opposition to all essentiid principles of the Christian belief, and at his death three years ago, his daughter, who had inherited to large degree her father's strong intellect as well as his atheistic opinions, assumed control of his paper and has since carried on its publication. Her husband will succeed to the editorship and conduct of the paper.

Woods on Fire.

COON RUN, Pa., April 22.—The woods near James Mills and Watson farm are on fire and unless rain falls soon there will be considerable damage done to property. As yet the fire is not close enough to endanger oil property. A fierce fire is reported at Jojo and a gang of men are being sent from Kane to check the flames before it reaches oil property.

Mr. Laudig remarked upon the enterprise shown by our merchants and made some purchases. All Greenfield merchants ask is that citizens from other counties call in and look around. They have some "eye-opening" bargains not shown by merchants elsewhere.

Kellgious Notes.

Evangelist J. V. Coombs, well-known here, will soon commence a series of meetings with the Christian church at Shelbyville.

"To find fault is easy. To do better may be difficult."—Plutarch.

The common council of the city ef Greenfield recently demanded of the railroad company, whose line pass through that place, the erection of automatic gates at the street crossings. They went after the gates and and got them. Our council went after electric lights from the Big Four and got a law suit. That's the difference between Greenfield and Shelbyville.—Shelbyville Republican

Greenfield secured electric lights from the Panhandle Co. in the long ago and will soon have an automatic electric warning bell which commences ringing when a train gets within 15,000 feet of the crossing. It is to be put in on trial however and we hardly think it will suit. An electric bell with a shrill sound that commences to ring when a train is three squares away and continues until a train is paBt is liable to scare a good many horses. It might do at a couutry crossing where a train would soon get by, but heie in the city we are endangered more by engines, switching cars and by freight trains more than by passenger trains.

FORT WORTH, Tex., April 22.—All of Texas has needed rain, so the great evangelist, Dwighfc Moody, called upon liis audience of 8,000 Christians to pray fervently that the floodgates might bQ opened. This was at 3 p. m. yesterday. Last night, when the tabernacle was crowded by 10,000 people from Fort Worth and surrounding cities, Mr, Moody announced that word had come from several points that rain had. taller^ A few minutes later the storm burst 04 Fort Worth and torrents of rain fell. Then Mr. Moody gave thanks to God and called upon the congregation to join in singing: "Coronation," and "All Hail, the Power of Jesus Name, Let Angels Prostrate Fall."

The song had surged forth from 10,000 voices, when a cracking noise was heard and then the roof sank and the rafters gave way and the heavy timbers and boards covered with tar and gravel came down

a portion of

the congregation. There was a panic. Scores upon scores of women fainted, some men lost their heads and piled pell mell over those near them.

Mr. Moody grasped the situation, and, moving to the middle of the platform, lifted both hands to heaven, moving his arms slowly to and fro. His actitude and coolness stopped the panic, and men began to go to work to rescue those in danger. A drenching rain was falling, but tliey worked hard, and the wounded were soon taken out and carried to their homes or to the houses nearby.

Those most seriously injured are: J. V. Ingraham, cut

Killed by the Kurds.

PITTSBURG, April 22.—Relatives of Frank Lenz, the Pittsburg cyclist, who was making a trip round the world ou his wheel for The Outing, are now convinced that he was murdered by the Kurds in Armenia at the beginning of the massacre there.

T. P. Langhans, cousin of the wheelman, has just received a letter confirming this belief: The letter is written by an American medical missionary in Armenia, but his name can not be given for fear that the letter might find it* way back to Armenia, and his life would be endangered, because he confirms the special Armenian letter of the Associated Press of last Friday. The missionary says the situation is serious, and that the danger of an outbreak is imminent. He says the Armenians intend to light for their liberty.

Speaking of Lenz, the missionary says lie lias reliable information tlnit Lenz was killed last May at Koordali, on the Alishgird plain, near the famous pass of Delibaba. The missionary talked with a man who saw Lenz at Karakalesseh on what- the native said, was a two-wheeled cart. Two da laler the man saw the dead body of the wheelman at Zedikan. From the description given there is little doubt that it was the body of Lenz. The missionary has sent for three men who also saw the body, and expects to be able to tell just liow Lenz met his death.
