The Kin Four Route employ assistant conductors or train cashiers and collectors to do all this work. and. without, decreasing their pay, relieve its coudnctors of all annoyances and distractions of this nature, to that they can devote their entire attention to the running of thi lr trains and loofcln? after the safety and comfort of their pas.Henjrers. In providing these a&M.tant8 the managers of the Big Four have not only done an act of kindto their conductors, but have at the name time contributed greatly to tho safety and security of tuelr patrons.

Twenty Chicago Italians Injured in a Row Following a Quarrel About a Girl. CniCAGO, Jan. 7. Francisco Jannnsi and F. Salvini keep a saloon in the center of. the Italian settlement. Last night a party was given to their countrymen and about 150 Italians of both sexes were gathered in the room in the rear of the saloon. Salvator De Meio was engaged to marry one of Mrs. Salvini's daughters and Frank J annuel was engaged to marry another. Tho latter tired of his sweetheart and'began making love to the other. He wanted De Mcio to change, but the latter was too much devoted to listen to argument. While preparations were being made for the dance J annuel entered the saloon with his four brothers and pounced upon De Meio. who was setting at a table. De Meio whipped out a razor and made a valiant light. Jannuei was laid out at the first stroke. The brothers were doing their best to carve De Meio into small strips when De Meio's mother rushed in and triod to save her son. Some one gave her a slash over the wrist, severing an artery, and she withdrew from the melee, jelling for help at the top of her voice, liy this time everybody in the hall was slashing and stabbing his neighbor. Mrs. Salvini turned out the lights and stationed nerself behind the bar and began hurling beer glasses into tho crowd. This resulted in greater confusion, and had it not been for the arrival of a wagon load of policemen thero is no doubt some of the combatants would have been killed. As it was not less than twenty persons received dangerous cuts and wounds, but so far as can be learned De Meio's wounds arc the only ones likely to prove fatal. Jannuei's left arm and hand were seriously cut. and he received a number of cuts on the face and chest. Mrs. Salvini was cut on the left hand and one of her daughters was knocked down with a chair. Defeno Jannuei was cut twice in the back and his brother Joe received a severe wound on the right arm. Several arrests were made. A Consul Sues Salvador for 850,000. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 7.- One year ago CoL Kay Meyers, of Huron. S. D.. was appointed consul to San Salvador. When the Colonel arrived at headquarters a rebellion was in progress. The siege continued day after day. and the only protection he had was to take refuge behind a huge rock bath-tub. Here he remained two days, and when the firing had ceased he rail to the docks and returned to Washington. CoL Meyers has now instituted suit for $50,000 damages against the San Salvador government, and will press his claim through the State Department. CongTesaman-l.lect Seriously Injured.

Cashiers Likely to Be Hypnotized and Fay Oat All the Honey They Have. Baltimore, Jan. 7. A new hypnotic danger has developed to threaten the financial world. The Franklin Bank, of this city, is loser to the extent of $119,000, and President Baker attributes the whole trouble to the fact that the cashier, J. Emery Gardiner, was hypnotized by IL Webster Crawl. Crawl was & real-estate man who failed some months ago. To-day the startling announcement was made that he had overdrawn his aocount at the Franklin Bank $100,000, and that the bank held his worthless paper for $19,000 more. Gardiner, who concealed these overarafts, was dismissed four weeks ago, and President Baker will resign, after paying 2u,0O0, for which sum he was on Gardiner's bond. He says he does not think Gardiner profited a cent by the fraud, and can only -explain his action on the ground of hypnotic inlluence exercised byX'rawl. Gardiner was a very religious man and. scrupulously corroct in all his other deal" ings. Crawl engaged in many other fraudulent practices, but apparently has no money now, and where it has all gone is a mystery. DUMA ABBOTT'S WILL. Tho Singer Did Not Leave ?2,000,000 toFound an Actor's Dome Her Body to Be Cremated. Chicago, Jan. 7. Henry C. Clark, brother-in-law of the late Emma Abbott, said today that the report that she had left $2,000,000 to found a home for actors and singers was mere idle gossip. "Did she leave a will, he was asked. 'Yes," he replied. "It is sealed and. locked np in tne vault oi ner attorneys. Dunnine &, Fowler, in New York city. No one but the executors have any idea of the contents of the wilL Mr. Dunning, who is one of the executors, has notified us that as far as his recollection of the wording of the will goes the deceased singer specified that, after her d-sath, her body was to be cremated and the ashes buried at Gloucester. Mass." "Can vou give any idea of the extent of Miss Abbott's wealthr "The only living person who is supposed to know anytlting about her wealth is Mr. Dunning. All statements from others on the subject are simply wild gossip." A ntshop Fined for Catting Sbavde Trees. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 7. Bishop Andrew J. Jenner, of theAngelican Free Church, was the defendant in an interesting case in the Kecorder's Court, charged with violating a city ordinance. He owns a beautiful residence on Woodward avenue, and was annoyed by the shade trees that grew near his honse, and, as he thought, interfered with his view and injured the. appearance of the place. Last week he cut down ten of the trees, in violation of the city ordinance, and was brought up before Jndge Chambers for it. He made an elaborate defense, but Judge Chambers fined him 25, and. in default of immediate payment, to be committed to jail for thirty days. He afterward changed the verdict so that Jenner could have twenty days in which to nay or appeal, and Jenner says he will go to jail before be pays, and intends to carry the case to the Supreme Court

WHEN

SILVER DEBATE III THE SENATE

Argumentof Mr. Plumb for Free Coinage and of Mr. Uiscock in Opposition, I riday Named bj Senator Stewart as the Day for Voting on the Measure How Harris Came to Be Presiding Officer Last Honda j. Promises Madeby a Steamship Company if the Subsidy Bill Becomes Law. Delate on the Measure in the House Yesterday Coming Changes in the Personnel of the Senate Minor Capital Topics. FINANCIAL HILL DEBATE. Plamb Argues for Fresi Coinage and Hlscock Acalnst It When the Vote May Be Taken. Washington, Jan. 7. When the financial bill was taken up in tha Senate to-day Mr. Stewart suggested that some time should be fixed for taking a rote on the bill and amendments, and named 4 o'clock on Friday next as the bonr. No objection was made on either side of the chamber, but the matter Trent over nntil to-morrow. Mr. Daniel then took the floor and spoke in favor of the ab so la to, free and unlimited coinage of silver. Mr. Plnmb followed Mr. Daniel. He credited the silver act of last session with having had the effect of preventing a universal financial panic. It had facilitated the purchase of $100,000,000 of American securities that had been sent back from Europe, and thus the Bank of England and the other financial institutions of Europe had been able to tide over the difficulties of the Barings, arising out of South American financial troubles. Whatever might be said about the silver bill of last session and about its shortcoming, its effect on the immediate situation had been of a most beneticent character. He agreed that it was in the power of a handful of people, on account of fright, real or affected, at legislation by Congress, to do great injury to the country. Ho agreed that, s the condition of things was to-day and had been for a long time, a half dozen men might stand between every citizen of the United States and the proper proceeds of his labor; that they might break up banks and mercantile establishments, and might paralyze the business erf the country if they saw fit to do so. He was glad that they did not. If the people had got to remain in that condition the safest and wisest thing fcr every man who had not capital enough to carry on his business was to go fishing. While he agreed that Congress might so legislate that those people would avail themselves of the opportunity, to say that thnv were afraid and might withdraw some gold from circulation and burst up some bank he would rather they would do it this year and not wait till next year, till the structure of credit would grow larger ami larger and their destructive power would be increased. Therefore, while he was willing to take into account everything thatconoerned the financial eituation.presentand tocome, and was willing to make concessions to prejudice, be would not contribute to any legislation that would increase tho power of a handful of men. It there was to be a fight between ' PLUMB ARGUES FOR BIMETALLISM. . Mr. Plumb said he did not share the fears of the Senator from Ohio as to what would happen from the free coinage of silver. Perhaps he was not as sensitive on that point as he might have been if he had not so often heard similar forebodings from the same quarter, and had not known that they had not been realized. While the Senator from Ohio was Secretary of the Treasury President Hayes had vetoed the Bland act on the ground that it would be practical repudiation; a violation of the government's solemn contract in regard to United States bonds, and that it would destroy the credit of the government at home and abroad. At that time four-per-cent bonds had been at par. Since then they had gone np to 180. The chief question with him Mr. Plumb was not the value of silver, but the volume of money outstanding and available for the transaction of the business of the peopla. He was not able to give his support to the bill as reported by the finance committee. He was opposed to tho first section providing for the purchase of 12. 000.000 ounces of silver. It would, of course, addthat much money to circulation, which would be beneficial, but it would inevitably bear on its face a disposition to help a certain class of people at the expense of the Treasury. It was in the interest of our trade and in the interest of honest money, Mr. Plumb said that the country should establish, as early as possible, a parity between gold and silver. The population of the country was increasing at the rate of 2 per cent, while business was increasing at the rate of 8 per cent. The circulation should have relation to both population and business. There should be an international bimetallism. For the time being the United States might maintain a parity between gold and silver by its own action; bnt it would tend to national safety if international bimetallism were established. It had become the opiuion of all intelligent agriculturists on both sides of the water that it would be to their benefit to have silver placed on a parity with gold. Within a few weeks the financial world had been shaken and there should' be some change in the existing conditions which would prevent a small country like the Argentine Bepublio from convulsing the largest nations of the earth. Bimetallism should be placed upon a firm and permanent basis. He did not hold that the free coinage of silver was a panacea -for ail evils, but be did contend that it was a long, a wise and a much needed step in the right direction. Mr. Uiscock spoke against free coinage. He did not suppose that anything he could say would change a vote, bnt he believed it to be his duty to give expression to the fact that it was no small boay of men, manipulating the finances of the country who were denominated as gold bngs, and who were anxious to increase the value of money that were voiced here in opposition to free coinage. The people he represented were oppoaed to the pending amendment becanso it had never found lodgment in their minds that the free coinage of silver would place that metal on a Earity with gold. On the contrary, they elieved that the effect of free coinage would be to pull the two metals apart. Mr. Sawyer moved to go into executive session. "Oh." said Mr. Edmunds, "let us take a vote on this bill now." Mr. Stewart expressed the desire that an early day should be fixed for taking the vote. Mr. Edmunds-What is your idea of an early dayt Mr. Stewart-Let us say Saturday next Mr. hdmnnds(in a tone of bitter sarcasm) The session is drawing to an end, and this most important and immaculate bill ought to be got into the form of law at the earliest possible moment. The country of course, is suffering for it Disaster aLd bankruptcy are said to be impending and therefore, we ought not to leave a 'stone unturned to get an immediate vote upon it After a brief executive session the Senate adjourned. The sapporterf of the silver bill think it will pass before the close of tho week. UNDESERVED CRITICISM. The Vice-President Vim Not a Party to the Conspiracy In the Senate on Monday. Washington, Jan. 7. The Vice-president has been criticised in some quarters on ac count of his absence from the chair at the time Mr. Stewart made his motion to take

that hatdful of men and all the people ox the d)iVd Slates, Vin Heaven's name," he baiL4jt-rialiv the fight n jw."

np the financial bilL The facts are that before he left the chair, as usual for his lunch, after the morning business had been concluded. Senator George had been recognized to continue an unfinished speech on the elections bill, and had commenced his speech on that bill, with a large number of books on his desk, apparently for reference. The Vice-president had not the most remote idea that anv other business would be considered during the day. As customary with any presiding officer it is considered a matter of courtesy to ask Senators from both sides of the chamber to take the chair when the presiding officer has occasion to vacate it temporarily, and on this occasion Mr. Harris was called to the chair. No othei ruling could have been made by the Vice-president or any other Senator than that made by Senator Harris, as Senator George had yielded the tioor. and Senator Stewart was the only Senator asking recognition, and therefore it was the plain duty of the presiding officer to recognize him and to pnt his motion. Upon receiving from Senator Hoar the first intimation that the Vice-president had said that Mr. George was not continuing his speech and that a vote was being taken the Vice-president resumed the chair. Senator Teller received a dispatch from Denver to-day signed by every Republican in the Legislature of Colorado, which met to-day, saying whatever differences may exist on other subjects in tho minds of the members of the Republican party in Colorado, there is bnt one sentiment throughout the State respecting the senatorship, and that is in favor of Senator Teller. SHIPS AND BOUNTIES.

What the Pan-American Transportation Company Will Do if the Subsidy Bill Passes. Special to the I iidlanapo lis Journal. Washington, Jan. 7. The Pan-American Transportation Company is watching with much interest the outcome of the shipping bills now before the House, for if these bills pass it will mean a good deal in the way of bounties to the proposed lines connecting the United States with Central and. South America. J. B. Clarke, of Chicago, who is here , in behalf of the company, said to-day that the company was ready to begin operations as soon as Congress granted the charter. Their first step would be to send a man abroad to charter from two to five steamers of not less than 4,000 tons burthen each. If, however, the subsidy bill went through, the plan of r chartering steamers abroad would be abandoned, and Americen-built ships would be used, in order that the company might secure bounties which the subsidy plan proposes. Mr. Clarke says that the $1,000,000 neewssarv to start the company is in eight, and'will be forthcoming immediately upon the granting of the charter. Thin will allow an early meeting at Galveston, Tex., whero officers for the company will be chosen. Agents will be also dispatched to South and Central America in behalf of the company. It is expected that the new line will get a large share of the collee trade coming np from Brazil, as well an a considerable part of the traffic in fruit from the West Indies. Debate on the Bill In the House. Washington, Jan. 7. After disposing of routine business this morning, the House,! went into committee of the whole on the shipping bilL Mr. Herbert of Alabama opposed the measure because it proposed to grant an indiscriminate subsidy to vessels of every character engaged in the foreign trade. Subsidies were like the horso leech; their continual cry waa "give, give," and the cry would never cease while the people bad anything the promoters of subsidies deSired. The pending measure was a natural result of the McKtnley bill.and was driving an additional nail into the Republican coffin. Mr. Dingley of Maine, reviewing the dea A caaeuce ox American Bnippicg interests, said that in such a condition as the country now found itself, with only 122 per cent of the foreign carrying trade, with Great Britain intrenched on every ocean route, it was obvious that it was utterly out of the power of private individuals. without assistance in some direction, to dislodge the shipping of Great Britain. It was eaid that the bill could not do for our merchant marine what was claimed for it. We could judge of that by what a similar policy had done for France with a less mar itime people than those oz tne United States. Within rive years from the establishment of a subsidy system the steam tonnage of France was doubled. With the widest extent of coast known to any nation, the United States could reap a benefit from subsidies far greater than any other nation. infour years her steam marine bad in creased 46 per cent, the -maximum expense of the bill the first year would be 2.000.000, of which all but about 5000,000 or $400,000 would come from postage and tonnage dues. Taking the highest rate of increase in tonnage estimated as a result of the provisions of the bill, the greatest amount of expenditure that would be needed in one year would be $7,000,000. Afterwards the rates of payments would steadily diminish. Would any gentleman say that if through such an expenditure the United States secured a million tons of new shipping, built on naval models and suitable to be used for naval purposes, there could be a wiser and more economical expenditure from a defensive point of view. aside from the matter of commercial inde pendence. Mr. Dockerv of Missouri said that three causes constituted an effectual barrier against anv attempt to restore the Ameri can carrying trade. The first cause was the difference of cost between American and f oreicrn vessels, ranging from $15,000 to $100,ooo; the second was the greater running ex nenses American vessels were under. amountineto25percent..and the third cause was the harsh and (restrictive features of our navigation laws exacting heavy tonnage dues, consular fees and other dues. He did not believe there would be an improve ment nntil the causes were removed. Mr. Dockery then went into a discussion of the relation between the tariff and the carrying trade, declaring that the Republican policy of exclnsiou of imports was at war with the interest of the American carrying trade. He asked Mr. Farqnhar, the chairman of the committee, how much the Pa cific Mail Steamship Company, which one session, he said, corrupted employes of the House, would get. Mr. Farqnhar, in reply, saidthat it would get the same as all other shiy companies. Mr. Dockery said that was no answer. and asked if the Pacific Mail stock had not risen on the probability of the passage of the bill. ' Mr. Farqnhar warmly replied that if it were so he was glad of it, and hoped the stock of every American company would increase in value, Mr. Dockery, retorting, said that he wanted to take the fact home to the farm ers of the West that $5,000,000 were being taken from the treasury to sustain and sup port a few iew Lngiand ship-owners. George Gould, he understood, was one of "the laboring men ' to be benefited, and he presumed that Gould needed a subsidy after his recent Wall-street experience. Mr. Dockery then invited attention to the re strictive scopo of the reciprocity advocated by Secretary Blaine, saying it would not benefit the farmer. Pending further debate the committee rose and tho House ad journed. PERSONNEL OF TOE SENATE. How It Will He Changed by Coming Elec tions in State IgUlatarea. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

A Bee special from Pine Bidge says: Some of the hostiics were seen leaving camp last night and making; their way over the country roads towards the various agencies. Whether theirerrand signifies disintegration or an effort to secure recruits is notyet known, though the sconta think the former. Companies D and E, of the First Infantry Regulars, arrived at Rushville from tho west last night, and are hurrying to tho agency. There is every indication that a great fight is close at hand, and from the unusual activity in army circles it would seem as if some fears are entertained that such an engagome nt will occur before the army is fully ready for it The government paymaster arrived at Bushville this morning, and, with his shekels, was escorted to the agency by a detachment of the Seventh Cavalry. Jack Hcd Cloud, Big Koad. High Horse, Lone Bear, Lone Hawk and the five other Indians who came in from the hostile camp to bold a pow-wow with General Miles, were allowed a briefer conference than t hey had expected. General Miles plainly told them to come in and surrender; that he was not here to listen to their complaints, but that they would be allowed to go to W ashington to make them after the trouble was arranged here. They stated that nearly if not quite all of the Pine Ridge Indians 'were desirous of peace, and wan ted to come back to the agency. General Miles held another short talk with these Indians, and they set out on their return. It is thought most of the Pine Kidgo Indians will be hero in a day or two. A dispeteli from Fine Kiage tnis evening -says: The situation remains practically the same as that of yesterday, with the exception that the difficulty is one day nearer settlement What that settlement will bo no one mav tell. Couriers from among the hostilea repeat the announcement Cat nothing can arrest Dioodsnea, wmie at headcuarters here it is thought that the trouble will soon end in peace. General Miles has not vet heard from Big Koad. Jack Red Cloud. He Dog and Little Hawk. who conferred with him on Monday Jac and returned to the hostile s. He expects them to uight or early to-morrow. If they no not come then it is probable that but little delay will take place before he will take the field after them. Late this evening the General received word from Red Cloud to the eti'ect that be would come in to-morrow morning and bring all the Indians he could with him. The General thinks that Two Strike will accompany Red Cloud and that they may bo followed by all the other Indians. General Miles this evening received from Washington a telegram announcing tho approval of his suggestion of putting agen cies where trouble exists under military control. This will give the omcers in charge authority to exercise police regulations in any matter ejecting the peace. food order, conduct and comfort of the ndians.
