VTindom Gives Ills Views on the Question What the Free-Coinage Men Want.

j Washington, April i3.j.flo jtepuoiican caucus committee,-which has tinder conipuleration tbs question of legislation on Htho silver, question, had another meeting to- : . ttay.2hQ whole subject is heing thoroughly

A l1 A VS"St S? SJ f . I discussed hy the members, with & view of ( arriving at tome common ground upon ? . i j . i it a Ji o a-- nr; J before the committee to-day by invitalion, and his views sought on the subject. i h'ecrctary Windcm remained with the comI mittco about two hours and engaged in the discussion, lie was not disposed to must upon the terms of his original hill, hut exTressed himself as willing to accept the terms of the measure reported by the House committee. The session of tho. committee S lasted uutil 2 o'clock, and then Sin adjourn I znent was taken until Monday morning. iNo f vote waa taken on any proposition,-and no i conclusion has been reached. The entire time was consumed in discussion. The delay in arriving at an agreement appears to be caused by the Insistence of tho extreme silver men upon absolute free coinage. The conservative element favors the House bill, cudthero is a leaves of restrictive feelInz at work. A section of the House "bill which is particularly attacked hy the silver men is that makintr the treasurv f notes issued in payment lor Duilion, ref cieemable in bullion. They argued that the 'fleet of this section would be to pile up i bullion in the Treasury, and to give some i -warrant xor tne aemana oi a judical farmer's element for gTeat government ware-nooses in which their agricultural products may bo etored and government notes issued thereon. iney want tne ireasary notes re deemed in lawful money, which may be uroenred hy coining tho Uollion purchased. On this point Secretary WinI doin contented himself with reiterating I his preference for tho House committee proI vision, and ha also expressed regret that the committee had stricken out of his bill the rrovision giving him discretionary authority to suspend bullion purchases. The members of tho Senate Republican silver committee have not had a meeting sinca Thursday night, and the indications are tney win wait until tne House caucus r announces its conclusion upon the subject. t The silver men on the Senate committee ara i contending for free coinage of bullion proj duced in the United States and of Mexican ' ores prr.el ted in United States refineries. I They sav that the entire amount produced ' in the United States and Mexico, as shown bv the statistics of the Treasury Denartr men t. is 57,000.000 ounces annually, all but ; 7.000,000 ounces being native pro- ! duction. This entire amount they ! claim is not as great at present values as tho Secretary of the Treasury is required ' to purchase by tho terms of the Jones i bill. That bill requires the purchase monthly, of silver bullion of the value of four and a half million dollars. Bnt they admit that the effect of tho pasnags of the bill would be to increase the value of silver. In caso they are unable to secure anything from the committee more favorable to them than the terms of the Jones bill, the silver men will insist on a substantial increase of the paper currency of the country. There are several suggestions before the committee respecting this point. A VERY PAT OFFICE. Attention Called to the Enormous Fees Re-eel-red by a DUtrict Attorney. . Fpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. i Washington, April 12. Acting Secretary of the Treasnry Batcheller has sent to the llouso of Representatives a letter on the : subject of the compensation of the United Statr.s district attorney for the Southern district of New York, in which he says that , it has been a matter of much diversity of opinion and of embarrassment to the de- - partment. The district attorney for this district received for the fiscal yenr ended . June 0. I5i. S1-VJ70. and for the fiscal year folio win?, 517,275. He also received fees : during t!je same period aggregating $700. which, with bis salary of $12,000 for the came period, made a total of $15,505. The compensation received by this officer, be : eavs. is eo largely in excess of that paid by law to any other of tbe officers of the gov- ( eminent as to have induced tho opinion on Lis part that tbe present condition of tbe j l,v.7, under trhich payments must be made, J rn t)i result cf congressional oversight.

and that it was his dnty to call attention to the subject. He says he does not wish to h understood as making complaint as to the manner in which the duties of the district, attorney have been performed. He wishes that tho law might be more definite on the subject, aud thns relieve him from the duty of determiningthevalue of the services, about which ho has but very slight and unsatisfactory information.

AN OVER-CONFIDENT BULER

Emperor AYilliam's Desire for Absolut ism Not Pleasing to Federal Princes. They Are Frightened at His Methods and Will Try to Tone Down His Self-Con.Uence The Kaiser' Serious Affliction. GERMAN POLITICS. The Kaiser Will Not Have Smooth Sailing In Carrying Out Ills Various Schemes. Copyright, 189Q, by the New York Associated Press. Berlin. April 12, Immediately upon his return from Wiesbaden Emperor AV llliam will hold a series of prolonged conferences with tbe heads of the various departments, Chancellor Von Caprivi, Baron Von Berlepsch and Barun Von Bieberstein successively. It is reported to be tho determination of tho Emperor to exercise a rigid personal scru tiny over every measure. Besides over loading himself with work he, in the meantime, threatens to paralyze ministerial work. None of the bills based on the - decisions of tho labor conference and pre pared by Baron Von Berlepsch has yet received the final imperial sanction. The assent of the Bnndesrath to the measures is doubtful. The federal gov ernments do not share tho Emperor's eager haste in reforms. Tho prospect is, therefore, that when the Emperor cpensthe Reichstag, in his speech from tfie throne, announcing the labor measures, he will speak without the quality of definiteness which characterized the announce ments of the Bismarck regime. Beyond the pregnant fact that - the Reichstag will be asked to grant a military credit of probably 80.000,000 marks, nothing is known of tho government's programme. The Progressist press indulges in visions of a change in the tariff policy, a reduction of tho duties on cereals and progressive modi fications of the customs so as to abolish the taxation on the articles that are absolutely necessary for the use of the people and a simultaneous adaptation of the tariff; so as to develop tho industries of the country. It is not believed in official circles that the Emperor will bo rash enough to entangle himself in the difficulties entailed by a revision of the tarings which would involve complete reforms in the whole financial and fiscal system of the empire. Equally discredited are the rumors that the Emperor intends to proposo a revision of the Constitution in tbe direction of a reduction of the powers of tho Bundesrath, while centralizing power in the hands of a Ministry controlled by the Emperor. Neither the Reichstag nor the Bnndesrath will ever assent to an exten sion of the imperial powers toward absolutism. Already the leading federal princes of the empire, incredulous of tbe Emperors capacity, and scared by his methods of governing, are trying to tono down his selfconfadence. It is an open secret that the governments of Bavaria. AVurtemhurg and Saxony, which hold fourteen votes in the Bnndesrath. will not co-operate in imperial measures unless the Emperor consults them more on the general lines of his policy. To night the Keicnsanzeiger nas a curt, signincant disclaimer of tbe reported reorganization of the central ministerial departments. It in denied that the government ever contemplated increasing the responsibility of the Ministers. The temper of the leading federal governments would not brook any discussion of tbe subject. This made an official denial of tho report necessary. Tho Reichstag will meet with the various parties undetermined, awaiting the etiect of the government programme be fore grouping themselves. The official record of tho composition of the Reichstag after the second ballot is as follows; Con servatives, 72; Imperialists, 19; National Liberals, 43; Freisinnige, GT; Centrists, 107; Socialists, So; Volks Partei. 10; Poles, 10; Guelphs, 11; -Reichstanders, 10; anti-Semitic, 5; Dane 1; no party, L KAISER WILLIAM'S SAD LOT. An Inherited Disease Which Threatens His Sanity and May Take His Life. Berlin Special. A scrofulous atlection, dormant in blood of the Emperor of Germany, which had apparently died out. the but has showed itself of late with Tenewed virulence. There is such a free discharge from bis right ear that he is forced to plug it with a large wad of anticeptio wool, and, contrary to all court etiquette, his Majesty sits on the right-hand of the Empress when driving. His face is of a sickly pallor, which is intensified by the shade his helmet casts over it. Social and political troubles and incurable sleeplessness accounts for tho fact that his Majesty in never seen to smile. Two. or at most three hours consecutive slumber is all he ever gets. His physicians have ceased to administer drugs and recom mend constant exercise and change of scene. The leading medical authorities of Eng land and uermany give the Emperor ten years or mo or sanity at the outside, it is believed that his Majesty is aware of the short span of existence he is doomed to. This would account for his stern, melancholy demeanor and his anxious preparation of the little Crown Prince for the arduous character of a boy Emperor, which he is likely to be called on to undertake. GENERAL. FOREIGN NEWS. Portugal's King and Qneen Will Try to Allay the Discontent In Their Dominion. Lisbon. April 12. Tho King and Queen are about to 6tart on a tour of tho principal cities" of tho kingdom. Their journey will consume two weeks. It is expected that the trip of their Majesties will serve to greatly allay the discontent now prevailing in consequence of tho recent decrees of the government concerning the disputes between Groat Britain and Portugal in relation to territory in southeast Africa. The King will make several speeches during his journey, in which he will indicate the necessity of calmness on the part of the peoplo of Portugal pendingthe negotiations now proceeding with England in regard to tho disputed possessions. His Majesty will also strongly appeal to the patriotism and loyalty of his subjects to follow the conrso he suggests and will thank them for their support of the monarchy. Floods In New South Wales. San Francisco, April 12.

In connection with tho opening, steps are being taken to arrange for a series of fetes which promise to be of great interest. Not Bleated with Our Customs Legislation. Bkrlin, April 12. The agitation in Paris commercial circles growing out of the apprehension that the McKiuley tariff administrative bill if it should become a law

would have a serious eflect upon the business of exporting to tho United States, now j has its counterpart in this city. Many of the Berlin merchants interested in the exportation of goods to America are seeking to bring influence to bear forthe purpose of having the bill either greatly modified or altogether withdrawn. They assert that the measure, if it goes into effect in its present form, will strike a fresh blow at exportation of German goods and manufactures to tho United States. i An Assassin's Novel Plea. ' Vienna, April 12. One of the most remarkable of modern crimes has just come to light, at Tellsworth, Hungary. Two villagers named Szapulor and Illie lay in ambush and shot Maretz Haussig, a grocer of Monostor, a village near by. The man was instantly killed and the murderers arrested. They confessed, but claimed that they had been hired to do the deed by one Arseni Radussen. The latter promptly admitted the charge, and said that he had perpetrated the crime because he owed the dead man 370 llorins, and that he had discharged his debts by paying the murderers ninety-five llorins to put his creditors out of the way. The payment was made in promissory notes, and the wives of the assassins are suing Radussin for the money by civil action, : ' Stanley at Cannes. London, April 12. Henry M. Stanley reached Cannes to-day. He was received upon his arrival by Sir William Mackinnon,

chairman of the Emin relief committee. Mr. Stanley subseauently called upon tho Prince of Wales. A dispatch from Cannes says that Stan ley has declined King Leopold's invitation to attend the Anti-slave Congress now sit ting in Brussels, on the ground that the condition of his health will not permit him to do so. The same dispatch also says that Dr. Farke. who accompanied Mr. Stanley on his expedition to the interior of Africa, and who is now with him at Cannes, declares that Emin Pasha is suffering from an incurable catarrt. and that before a year elapses he will be blind. Disgusted Australians. London, April 12. The delegates from western Australia who camo here to assist in furthering the scheme for federation are thoroughly disgusted at' thoir experience, and aro returning home without present- . ing their case. They have waited in Lon don, at great expense, for four months ex pecting to be called bofore the committee of the House of Commons having the matter in charge, to aid in the preparation of a bill'providing for their alleged needs. No such summons has come to them, and the neglect of Parliament to consider their demands has greatly increased tho general desire in western Australia for autonomy. . Finances of the Eternal City. London, April 12. Owing to the freedom with which tho press of Rqhio has indulged in criticisms on the bankrupt condition of tho Eternal City, the municipality has ordered the exclusion of all representatives of the press from the sources of official information. The result has been that tho papers are more than ever determined to ventilate the incompetency and corruption which have led to the humiliating condition of things, and they declare that in addition to the general dehcitof 1.500.000 lire, there are 8.000.000 lire owed on account of annuities. Anti-Capital punishment Society. London, April ir. the execution of Richard Davies, while his equally guilty brother George was spared, has raised an intense popular feeling in favor of the abolishment of capital punishment. Tho foreman of the jury which found the Davies brothers guilty- of' tho murder of their father has organized an anti-capital punishment society and opened a central office in Liverpool for the purpose of systematically agitating the question of eliminating that alleged relic of barbarism from the statutes. Cause of the City of Paris Accident. Liverpool, April 12. The true cause of the accident to tho ' City of Paris was learned to-day. The steamer is in dry- ' dock at Birkenhead aifuMhe water gradual ly being run off. As she was raised to-day the starboard propeller, dropped off, showing the shaft to be broken close to the blade of the propeller. The sudden relapse of the strain thus occasioned caused the collapse of the starboard engine. Cable Notes. J; W. Parker, the Kansas forger, has boen committed at London for extradition, The reports circulated regarding Brazilian revolts are unfounded. The news received from the provinces is pacific. The Czar's repugnance to parliaments is reported as giving way under belief that the establishment of a parliament would put an end to attempts on his life. ' Most of the Indians who revolted against the government of San Salvador, in the provinces of Cuscatlah, are surrendering to the authorities at Cojutepeque, and all lighting is now over. It is learned on good' authority that it is tho intention of the German Emperor to pay a visit to England in the course of the summer. Count Herbert Bismarck is expected to visit London in May. A soap manufacturer of Copenhagen named Philipsen, who was arrested for insurance frauds, has confessed that -he strangled a clerk named Meyer and sent the body in a packing-case to America. Meyer has been missing since Jan. 7. Mr. Phelps. United States minister. Sir E. B. Malet, British embassador, and Marshal Von Bieberstein, German Imperial Foreign Secretary, met at the Foreign Office in Berlin yesterday, and each deposited a formal ratification of the Samoan treaty, and signed the final protocol.

Reynolds, president of the Local-option Association of the State, addressed the people of this section, last evening, on tho question of prohibition as the ultimate effect, and local option as a means to an end. The audience was large, and highly appreciated the eloquent presentment of local option as a means most potent in tho work of temperance reform. The Truth of tbe Matter. Philadelphia Time. Many people think that pretty much everything that is fraudulent finds its way into the daily newspaper, and that, when there is a bad casn, as much is made of it as possible. Nothing could be further from the truth. Theavcrago daily newspaper only publishes such cases-when compelled to do so or when they assume a shape that demands public notice. And in almost every such publication there is always a great dal that is left unsaid out of consideration for the friends or relatives, or because, while clearly true, the informants aro unwilling to be held responsible.

The fine so enraged Baldwin that on leaving the court-room he made an insulting remark to the judge. Police officer Massey was sent to bring him back. Whim he attempted to do so Baldwin shot him twice, indicting fatal wounds. Baldwin then shot Marshal Houston, who met him on the stairs,' but Houston's wound is not fatal. Officer Wllchar at this juncture camo rushing at Baldwin, who turned and attempted to shoot him also. Before he succeeded officer Wilchar had grappled with him, and in the struggle for possession of the weapon Baldwin accidentally shot himself in the thigh. He was overpowered and finally lodged in jaiL SCOURING ITSELF OUT. Important Discovery of an Engineer Who Has Been Watching the Mississippi Flood. Vicksburo, Miss., April 12. The United States steamer General Newton, now in charge of Assistant Engineer Douglas, who is patrolling the Tensas and Concordia levees with her, arrived from Natchez to-day, and returned after a brief detention. Captain Douglas, who has been authorized by Captain Kingman to protect, the levees, reports them in good condition and able J to stand fifteen inches more of water. Assistant Euginecr Oliviera has completed his observations of the volume and discharge of the river at Warrenton, and leaves for New Orleans to-morrow. Ho has made a most important discovery, and one fully confirming the theory upon which the Mississippi-river Commission has been working, that the river, if kept confined by levees, would scour itself out. At his last observations at Warrenton, taken early in March, he found an extreme depth of 102 feet; by soundings taken Friday and yesterday ho found six feet more water, and this is not simply a local washout, but extending clear across tho stream. Both series of soundings were taken at the same points. Condition of the Broken Levees. Greenville, Miss., April 12. Major Wm. Starting returned to-day from the Catfish point break, where he had been superintending the work on the broken ends of the levee, which was done successfully, both ends being now secured from washing. The break is 1,9C0 feet wide. The break at Easton's is 800 feet wide, and one end is made secure and work progressing on the other, which is not washing any at present. The Offutt's and Huntington breaks are not increasing. The river has remained stationary here and no fall in the backwater, which no doubt will remain so so until a fall in the river at the breaks of several feet will bo had. Tho relief committee report bnt little or no actual ' noed among the people. The chronio grumbler. however, can.be heard, who does not want to work and expects the government to feed him, but the facts are that there is no suffering for the want of food or shelter. The Mississippi Again Rising. Helena, Ark., April 12. The second rise from the St. Francis basin has commenced and tho river is an inch higher than last night, and stands eleven inches below high-water mark. The river is now eight inches below the highest point reached this season. The present rise will probably continue until next Friday, and will not be less than eight inches, and may go even higher. After this Hood-wave passes the river will fall slowly at first and then rapidly. Hopes are entertained that plant ing can commence not later than May 1 to o in an low xanas in mis counry.

Things Accomplished by Ills Alleged IS'evr Power at a Recent Exhibition. Hartford Courant Mr. Keeiy nas, it seems, "long since quit a . m working at tne motor, ' out a few days aco he itave a wonderful exhibition at New York before Professor Leidy, president of tho Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, and three or four others. Air. Keelv's show was an exhibition of an al. leged new force, the sympathetic vibration' about which more or less has already been written. The "sympathetic transmitter" is tnus oescnoea in tne rnnadciphia In ouirer by a witness of the experiments: There was a enphoard about thirty inches uign, on wuicn aioou a cyiinuer or what looked like bronze, fitted with a concentric series of npright tubes one-hall inch in di ameter, also of the same metal, surrounded at its base with a series of graduated hori zontal rods, solid and evidently of some resouant metal, and capped by a bell-shaped metal cup, in which appeared to be several tuning-forks about four inches long, set parallel to each other. The cupboard-door was open. Inside it appeared a curiouslooking harp and a glass ball, to which Kecly put his ear every now and then to see whether he had hit the proper 'sympathetic chord' on the resonant rods and on the harp-like instrument." In front of the cylinder above mentioned was a brassspindle.which was set in motion by a cord wound around it, and suddenly pulled. The cylinder was connected by a "silver and platinum" wire to a copper weight on which was placed a metal dish, and in the dish a magnetic needle. When tho spindle had been set spinning, says the reporter: "Air. Keely began striking the strings of the harp, and tentatively peeking with the other hand a responsive chord among tho resonant rods on top of the cupboard. When what he called "B flat" was touched on both rod and harp-string the magnetic needle pave a shiver, distinctly visible to everybody, and began slowly to revolve from left to right. In a half minute it was going so fast as to be almost invisible. Keely didn't go near it, but sat by the cupboard with his hands in his pockets. Toe spindle revolved all the while, and the echoes of the note came from tbe cuphoard. n Mr. Keely said that the force already generated was sufficient to keep the needle revolving at the rato of 120 revolutions a second for fourteen weeks. When the observers had done admiring this production, of motive force out. of nothing, Mr. Keely took two glass jars tilled with water.; In one he put a hollow copper globe loaded' with nails, weiirhiua

BYRAM & 6 and 8 West altogether five pounds and six ounces, and in the other three brass balls of somewhat less weight. Wire connections were made from the brass tops of these glass jars to tho cylinder on his motive apparatus. The spindle was whirled again, and Keely again sounded the harp and the resonant bars From this point the report continues: "What are you doing now!" asked Dr. Leidy. "I am trying," said Keely, "to get tho mass-chord of that copper sphere full of nails." The search for the mass-chord continued on the "harp" and the resonant rods. A deep, clear note resounded from both at the same time, and at the instant it broke on the ear the heavy copper globe quivered as it lay at the bottom of the water, rolled over, and reluctantly, as it wore, abandoning the ties by which gravity held it to the bottom of the jar, lloated, at iirst slowly and then more swiftly and steadily, to the top of the jar, against which it impinged with an audible concussion. Dr. Leidy was asked this question: "Doctor, is it true that this unknown force, or what is here maintained as such, has actually before our eyes overcome tho force of gravity with which wo aie all familiar!" And the answer, slowly, deliberately, was: "I see no escape from that conclusion." In a similiar manner the three brass balls were made to rise to the surface and then descend half way and remain stationary at that point. There was more of the same sort, including the transmission of tho force hy a silk thread from one room to another. When it was all over Dr. Leid3 Kcems to have given the alleged discovery a rather startling indorsement. Here is tho concluding sentence (quoting him) of the Inquirer's letter: "You may announce to the world, on ray authority, that John E. W. Keely has discovered a new and wonderful force." It can. however, do no harm to remember that years ago Keely had machines running for exhibition by the forco of his motor, that no practical application of it has ever beei made and that he himself now says that he has loug quit working at it.
