He addressed himself to the question as to whether the government held a lien on the terminals. He Insisted that the government did. and that by express provision in th original act and confirmed by the ninth s.'tion of the Sherman act. He admitted that the roads had not lKen making satisfactory earnings for years. "Why?" he shouted dramatically. "liecause it was not In the Interest of those In control to make money for the roads." (Applause.) Mr. 11 th-n ex 'alned the substitute ho had proposed, which provided that if the road would make the United States secure by paying off the first-mortgage bond the government would extend the debt any rea-onaM priol at 3 per cent.

The Senate had a long and busy session to-day, passing a numter of bills on the calendar. Including several amendments to the law of navigation and also the bill authorizing the President to reappoVt to the navy Commander Quackenbush. whose caso has occasioned much controversy. Progress was made on the bill for free homesteads on Indian lands, but a final vote was not reached. Mr. Piatt opposed the bill In a lengthy speech, pointing cut that it would cost the government a loss of many millions. It was disclosed during the day that Representative-elect Edward K. Robbins was tho author of the letter from Havana read In the Senate yesterday. The other Cuban development of the day way a joint resolution offered by Mr. Mills, declaring that the power of recognizing a new republic resides in Congress, recognizing the Independence of Cuba and appropriating JltVCOO for a United States minister to the republic of Cuba. Mr. Mills will speak on the. resolution next Monday. The resolution reads: "Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives, That the expediency of recognizing tho Independence of a foreign government belongs to Congress, and when Congress shall so determine the executive sha!l act In harmony with the legislative depart mcnt of the government. "Second That the independence of the republic of Cuba ought to be. and hereby is, recognized, and the sum of SlO.uoO is hereby appropriated for salary and expenses of a minister to that government whenever puch minister hall bo appointed by the President." Mr. Sherman sought to secure the passage of a bill directing tho secretary of agriculture to establish a uniform standard of grain and all classes of cereals, to be known as the United States tdand rd. but there was hoirp objection. Mr. Hale thought it conferred sweeping powers on the secretary of agriculture. Mr. Alien said tho bill was opposed to the. grj'ln producers, taking out of their hands the right to classify their own grain. Mr. Gear said commercial bodies and producers were in favor of it. Mr. Sherman explained that he presented th measure at the request of an organization in his State. It wmsht merely to establish a uniform standard, but did not Interfere) with any private contract as to standard. Mr. Sherman said the measure was in the Interest of farmers and was dedgnd to have the same grade In Chicago. New York and elsewhere. On objection by Mr. Kate the bill went over. Kills wre passed as follows: Senate bill to nrovide a district attorney and marshal for" the Western district of South Carolina. House bill for the entry of lands in Greer county. Oklahoma.

Mr. Perkins moved to make the h'.l for the appointment of a commission to conMder the problem presented by labor, agriculture and capital a social order for 2 p. m. next Wednesday. When Mr. Call suggested that Cuba misht be before the Senate at that time. Mr. Perkins answered: "It is about time. I think, that we gave some consideration to our own citizen- as well as to those of Cuba ami Armenia.' A lKvlv p irli tmentary contest ensued. Mr. A Id rich continuing it until Mr. Perkins's effort for a special order was cut off on the expiration of the morning hour, at j'oYlovk. The Senate then took op the bill for free homesteads on public lnds acquired by the Indians. Mr. Piatt led the opposition to the bill. iointintr out that it would rc-ult in a loss to the government of man: million dollars. Thre was a bri-k exchange between Mr. Piatt and Mr. Allen of Nebraska, when the latter read the free homestead plank nf the last Kenublican nlsttrorcn. "Wis- tha plank made to deceive voters?" ok d Mr. All n. "We all understand how things creep Into national platforms." responded Mr. Piatt, -and I venture to say that not fifty delepat s in the St. Louis convention knew anything about this resolution." "Anii't thty bound by it?" pcslsted Mr. Allen. "I am not." said Mr. Piatt. "H. fore this Congress adjourns I may cull attention to some planks in the PonulHt platform made since the Senator (Allen) broke into national politics which he does not live up to." After further debate the Mil was laid aside. Mr. Call submitted another letter relating to the case of Julio SatV-TUlIly which disclosed that the author of this and other letters from Havana read in the Senate yesterday was Representative-elect Kdward E. llcbbms. Mr. Morgan secured the adoption of a resolution for an lnvcstlTatlon of the disappearance of certain papers relatlng'to the Pacific railroad from the tiles of the Treasury Department, as recently reported by Assistant Secretary Curtis. On motion of Mr. Frye the Senate took up a number of bills relating to commerce and navigation. The House bill to amend the navigation laws was passed with Senate amendments. It deals with the rules which irovern vessels at sea and on the lakes and rivers. The bill as passed Is a substitute for the Hons, bill, but Is substantially the tame mejiure.

Special to the Indianaiolis Journal. WATERLOO. Ind., Jan. 7. H. N. Coffinberry, a director of the Garrett City Bank end formerly its president, ex-county auditor and a big man In Democratic politics here, of supposed great wealth, has len indicted by the grand jury of De Kalb county on a charge of grand larceny and embezzlement. He spent several hours in jail Monday, and is now under $16,000 bail. The indictment is in connection with exTreasurer Fair's shortage as treasurer of D Kalb county, he claiming that he gave Coffinberry $10,000 to deposit in the Garrett City Hank, which the bank never got. Mr. Cofhnberry is prominently known in railroad circles, having at one time been trainmaster of the old Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan (now the Michigan division of the Kig Four), later trainmaster of the Eel river division of the Wabash system and lastly trainmaster of the Baltimore & Ohio, with headquarters at Garrett City. The Waterloo Press has the following on Coffin berry's career: "Mr. Colllnberry, who has thus been made conspicuous before the public in connection with the treasury matters, not many years ago was a farm hand, working for a farmer over in the edge of Michigan, just north of Elkhart, and from there he drifted to Elkhart, where he worked on a section, and finally found employment on the Wabash Kailroad at Butler, and thence to the B. & O. at Garrett, from which place he was elected on the Democratic ticket auditor of De Kalb county, six years ago, and he held tills office for four years, when the pay was so lucrative that he could afford to hire all the labor done and draw a good salary besides, and it was generally understood that he held his position with the B. & O. Kail way at the same time. During the years leading up to his election as auditor he lecame something of a po-.v-er in Democratic politics, and candidate's for the nomination for the same oftice. were free to Insinuate that he used money to secure his preferment. He has surely risen into prominence and wealth very rapidly since his arrival in the county, and to many his success in life has seemed marvelous. Many rumors are afloat pertaining to his connection with the Garrett City Bank and the county treasury and other matters which would not le proper to mention. His attorneys believe that he will come, out all right. It was surely a humiliation for a man who has been so prominent in the county to spend even ten hours In jail, but if lie is guilty of the charges he knew the consequences when the sins were commit ted. It Is alleged in connection with this matter that young Fair gavelr. Coffinberry money to invest for him In options on the Chicago Board of Trade, and that this will account for the shortage In the treasury. Young Fair did a very shrewd trick before his arrest by calling on Mrs. A. T. Smith, of this place, and buying the two raised orders held by her. which he burned, thereby destroying the burden of proof against him for forgery. It has boon claimed: that prior to Peter Fair's arrest Treasurer Hine discovered that someone had entered the treasurer's office on sev eral different nights, and. from the fact that a key had been found in t air's pos session, he was charged with having made some attempt to change the records to relieve his father, but it is also claimed that the aforesaid key was In the pocket cf an old pair of pants, hung In the closet, not used for three months, indicating that someone else is a night prowler of the treasurer's office, for Mr. Hlnes Is positive that the office has been visited during his absence, and yet up to Tuesday noon the combinations on the safes had not been changed nor the doors locked, which precautions should be attended to. More developments may 1h expected soon." JEALOt SV AM) 311 ItDEIl. The Crime Tlint Sent Ilnnnnh Frumrr to Prison for ll.fe. Spetial to th? Indiana). Journal. GKEKN'SBUKC. Ind..

NOT WORTH IMPROVING

WOLF LAKH S( HKMK OIM'OSKD IJV GOVi:ilXMi:.T KMUMSEHS. No Harbor In Needed There, They Say The Proposition for an International Conference on Silver. WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Secretary Lamont has sent to Congress a report of an examination of Wolf lake and river in Illinois and Indiana, made.under the direction of Maj. W. L. Marshall, the government engineer officer at Chicago, and Col. H. M. Robert, division engineer. Wolf lake is fifteen miles from Chicago harbor and three miles from Calumet harbor, and lies between the Grand and Calumet rivers and Iake Michigan. It has an area of three square miles and an average depth of only two and a half feet. Major Marshall hasn't a high opinion of it. In the last river and harlor bill it was provided that Wolf lake and river should be. examined with a view of making a navigable connection between them and Lake .Michigan. Major Marshall says this could be done by digging a trench two feet deep across a sand bar where the river enters Iiik.? Michigan. This would cost The major intimates that Congress did not mean exactly what was stated in the river and harbor act and. ar-suming that it was desired to make Wolf lake navigable for lake vessels, he has reported a scheme of improvement that would cost $1,055,042. He says this would embrace the construction of piers and docks, the deeping, widening and strengthening of Wolf river, the erection of five swing bridges and the construction of a channel twenty feet deep. 000 feet wide and 7,400 feet long in Wolf lake. He says tho lake is full of sedge and weeds, and is not worthy of improvement by the government. There are no enterprises near it. and Lake Michigan commerce does not require a harbor there. While enterprises might spring up around Wolf lake, he says, provided it were improved by the government, he is of the opinion that Chicago harbor and Calumet harbor will supply all the needs of commerce in that vicinity for years to come. LITTLE OPPOSITION. The .Monetary Conference Resolution .May PnM the Senate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Senator Chandler has practically made a canvass of the Senate on the proposition for an international conference on silver, and concludes that there will be no opoosition worth the name. Still the bill will not be Introduced in the Senate until it is accepted by the Republican caucus, as the committee was instructed to report to the caucus. The language of the bill is substantially as follows: "That whenever the President of the United States shall, after March 4. 1W. determine that the United States should be represented at any international conference called either bv the United States or ti,4. government of some other country with a view to secure Internationally a. fixitv nf relative value between gold and silver as money oy means or a cqnmon ratio between those metals with free ir.lrit.re .it such ratio, the United States shall be represented at such conferences by five or moie delegates, to be selected by the President. ror me compensation oi said delegates together with all reasonable expenses connected therewith to be approved hy the secretary of state, including the proportion to be paid by the United States of the joint expenses of such conference, the sum cf SKHI.OJO or SO much thereof as mav be neeev. sary is hereby appropriated." il is understood that the Republican caucus to formally decide upon the bill will be held next week. WoleotCi Mission Will Fail. LONDON. Jan. S. The Bimetallic League has cabled to one of its members, Mr. Forbes, who is now in Boston, re-questing him to send a wreath and to attend the funeral of General Francis A. Vv'alkcr. An editorial in the Times on the death of General Walker says: "His death will be regretted in Great Britain almost as much as In America. He was one of the fairest and most reasonable, of the advocates of bimetallism." After eulogizing the deceased economist's atainments and writings at considerable, length, the Times continues: "With all respect, it is improbable that, had ho lived, he could have done much to further the avowed object of Senator WoleotCs visit. Senator Wolcott will be welcomed here. For several reasons Mr. MeKinley could not have chosen a more acceptable envoy. But public opinion in England is more hostile than before to bimetallism. Nothing can be hoped from the visit except as a political movement and a salve to the silverites. The failure of his mission is certain. No public man, whatever his theoretical views, would think the present an opportune moment to moot the question, and this opinion will subsist, at all events, as long as bimetallism appears to be dropped or revived according to the exigencies of the American domestic politics." Mnretnn Frewen Dineovery. LONDON, Jan. 7. Neither the Bimetallic League nor the other silver organizations have any information regarding the visit to Europe of Senator Wolcott. of Colorado, who sailed from New York on Jan. 2 on th? Cunard steamship Campania. The St. James Gazette, says: "Everybody wants to know how far McKInley means to go in the. direction of doing something for silver. Mr. Moreton Frewen. however, has discovered exactly what is on foot. He has written to a financial daily paper pointing out that if Russia means to resume specie payment she will have to buy COO.U10,000 ounces of silver and that tariff concessions on the part of the United States would induce her to do so; that this operation will easily rehabilitate silver on a Ll'-to-l basis, and France and Germany will probably join for similar considerations. So, MeKinley is apparently to aid in tariff reductions for the sake of a boom in silver, but Mr. Frewen is at a discount as a prophet at 'present."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. -The series of state dinners given annually by the President at the White House began to-night with that given to tho members of tho Cabinet.

Jan. 7.-An Agricultural Department report on the composition and cost of bakers bread in New Jersey cities, based on' recent investigations, indicates the necessity of the adoption of a bread standard less variable than the "loaf." so that a definite number of ounces may be found in each loaf.

A Spectnenlnr Ceremony nt Salvation Army Ilendauarter. New York Sun. There Is going to be a great time at Salvation Army headquarters. In West Fourteenth street, to-night. The devil will be burned in effigy in a lake of tire in plain view of everybody present, after he has been dissected and analyzed by Major Winchell. the iron-lunged man. The major has officiated at similar ceremonies several time's before, but not in New York, and the sight is one that has caused a number of women to faint. In explanation the major said yesterday: "You see. we Salvationists have learned that the old ecclesiastical way of bringing out truths doesn't reach everybody. So I've hit on this spectacular show to burn sin and the devil out of the hearts of Unpeople. First we'll have: fireworks and a parade on the streets. The word 'Sin' will be l)crne aloft in burning letters thr.t can lie seen half a mile away. After the parade we will return to Memorial Hall and a number of cadets dressed in red will enter some bearing a huRe red coffin with Hades" painted In white letters on either side. After marching around to the tune of a dirge they will place the coffin on a platform. After a song or two I'll get in my work. "I shall take a huge knife, and. after pulling yards of ribbon from the coffin, the head of the devil attached to the end will appear, arrayed in a huge bonnet covered with feathers, laces, ilbbons. and what not. This represents pride, one of the greatest enemies to salvation, and ofT the head will come. I will then de-liver a short address on pride before cutting out the devil' vertebrae. That's doubt, and will be illustrated bv one of Bob Ingersoll's lithographs, used for advertising punses. and a revolver, for vou see he advises a person with no hope in life to put an end to existence. 1 shall speak of how doubt brings destruction arid faith salvation. Next 111 cut tho tongue out of ,the devil's he-ad. You see it has 'scandal, lies, blasphemy printed on the back so that all can read. And so it will be until I've cut the old fellow into mincemeat. At the close the room will le darkened and the devil will be burned in effigy In a lake of fire.

POISONED IJV I1ANK NOTl. Queer Death of a 3Ian Who Hold Money In 111 .Month. New York Evening Sun. Alexander Waitxfclder Is dead. To the life of an ordinary gambler he added a death that was extraordinary. Blood poison was the cans of death, and money wajs the cause of the blood poisoning. It came about in this way: Waitzfelder was what is known as a bookmaker's cashier. In other days, befere the city got toogood, he used to deal faro. He worked on all the race tracks last summer. Nobody knew him down there on the track as Alexander Waltzfelder. All dealers in faro banks and all cashiers for lKokmakers. unless they have some remarkable peculiarity to lift them from the rut In which so many of their kind have lost their rsonality. are known as Dan. So that Alexander Waltzfelder was known as Dan. too. arid to distinguish him from the other Dans who Hooded the tracks, his asoclates selected the singularity of ids nose and called him "Sheeny Dan." By that name he was known on every track in this part of the country, and in every barroom and poolroom In this city, and in scons of other places where the members of the sporting fraternity are wont to assemble tor mutual advantages and advice. Dan had another peculiarity. He was tho fastest counter In this part of the world, that Is he could deal out the Rreenbncks about as fast as a horse could trot. Most men use thvlr mouths in only one or two ways, but he had an original way of using his an his purse. At any time down on the track you could see him with a greyt roll of greenbacks In his mouth. When he wanted to make men bet he shook his mouthful of money at them and dared them to come on. When he wanted to pay men off after they had won his employer's money he held the bank notes In his mouth and kept his two hands busy at counting silver. There he used also to carry his note book In which he kept a record of tho bet, the money taken In and the money paid out, also between bis Hps. It was this practice that killed him. One day he bit his under lip by accident, and a few days later the injured lip became inllamed. and then in a week it began to swell up. It got worse and worse. Dan paid but little attention to it at tirst. but soon his lip was In such a frightful condition that his friends insisted on his going to see Doc Irving, for whom the gamblers and sports have a warm spot In their hearts. The doctor heard all about how Dan had carried the monej' in his mouth every day for years almost and treated him. The swelling decreased, and Dan's mouth had about resumed its natural shape, when one day he hit his leg against a car and broke the skin. He paid no attention to that, either, but went about his business as usual. That happened about five weeks ago. His leg grew stiff and he felt slight pains in it. He mistook the pains for rheumatism and went about the city as usual. On Christmas day, however, he was so ill and weak that his friends and his wife had him removed to the Presbyterian Hospital. Then it was discovered that gangrene had set in, and that he had a bad. attack of blood poisoning, undoubtedly produced by the wound on his lip. and superinduced by the wound on his leg. coming, as it did. when the condition of his blood was not any too good. He lingered a week and on New Ycar'i day he died. He left a widow. T h e A vt or T ra ! e. New York Evening Sun. The fact that three-fifhts of American actors, so called, make an average of less than $3 a week explains why immature messenger boys, half-grown typewriters and full-blown salesgentlcmen and salesladles are anxious to go on the stage. It is a laudable if not a high-priced ambition. It also gives a clew to the lavish way lu which actresses permit diamond sunbursts and tiaras to bo lost and stolen. Nevertheless, it is a sad fact that countless hardhearted playgoers are lirmly convinced that the payment of $: "per" is too princely a remuneration for myriads of actors and actresses.
