Agreed AS SOON AS IT IS IT WILL BE CALLED UP IN THE SENATE AND THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL BE LAID ASIDE—SILVER MEK WANT EVERYTHING AND WILL GRANT NOTHING. The failure of the caucus last night to finish their consideration of the financial measure re- | ported by the caneus committee effected the continuance of ihe force bill discussion in the Senate today. There was nothing ready for the displacement of the elections bill, but the hour | of its abandonment depends merely upon the time taken in the preparation of the financial | bill. The bill will not be Isid aside without a struggle, but that it must give way is as cer- tain as anything can be which has not already happened. As soon as the compromise silver bill is fully agreed upon it will be called up in the Senate. The postponement of this from one day to another day is in no way significant uw affecting the final result. ‘THE FIERCE SILVER S}RUGGLE. The struggle between those who favor free and unlimited coinage gnd the non-conserva- tive and cautious financiers of tho east ix fierce and determined. The men who would act | slowly in the matter of inereasing the currency | of the country are being backed to the wall by | superior nuzibers on the other side, but their | firmness is retarding the progress of inflation, They must yield stepgby step or be swept j the clamorons crowd who axe erying ont for more money. The purchase of the surplus ¥13.000,000 of silver und purchase of additional amounts of silver to replace retir- | ing bank circulation would not be advocated ‘bby the conservative men, except in lieu of what they consider the greater evil of free coinage allat once at this time.

ANOTHER CAUCUS TO BE HELD. The question is to be further discussed at another caucus, and whatever the silver men agree to is pretty sure to pass the Senate. AK soon as they decide on this bill they will vote, regardless of cauen declarations, to lay the election bill aside and take up finance. UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOUSE ACTION. It is still a matter of grave doubt what Speaker Reed will permit to be done in the House. The chairman of the coinage commit- tee, to succeed Mr. Conger, is yet to be named, and the House stands ax a check on the Senate, unless there is such an agretment as shall be regarded as wise under the cireumstances. ‘The Speaker is confronted by the danger of having the silver men go the full length of their theory if a more moderate compromise propo- sition is obstructed in its course. WHAT THE PRESIDENT WANTS. The President and the Secrethry of the Treas- ury are anxious that the purchase of the sur- plus silver be authorized as soon as possible, #0 as to bring cbout immediate relief and silence the clamor for more money, which might lead to an unhealthy inflation. PUBLIC CONFIDENCE MUST BE RESTORED. The most important thing to be accomplished at this time isa renewal of the confidence of the people, which will lead them to let go | money they are holding in reserve. The mil- lions of dollars that have been been put out by the treasury in one wayand another have been sucked in like water on a sponge, and it is not believed by any financial experts of the department that the trouble in the markets grows out ao lack of money out- standing; that the diffienlty lies in ‘the general lack of confidence and the consequent storing away of money they have | A very great inflation of the cur-, might counteract this, but when the re- | lease of money now held in reserve was accom- | ibt. plished the question of too much inflation would come in to disturb conditions. For this | reason the temporary relief of large silver pur- chases at once is favored. ‘THE WANT OF CONFIDENCE. The want of ‘coofidence is not due to the want of money. It is due more, doubt- less to the fact the general dissatisfaction of the people with the economic conditions produced yy legislation, leads to a general imprexsic that there must be a change—an upheaval and that the reaction’ may lead to cklessness, ‘The policy of the conservatives ime and to endeavor to overcome ing before excessive inflation of the ing to this end in the caucus.

Terry had no frmily, being a bachelor. He was not a graduate of West Point,” but nevertheless was regarded with fondness by a majority of officers of the army. He had a brilliant record as a soldier and a charming personality. ‘A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Gen. Alfred Howe Terry was born in Hart- ford, Conn., November 10, 1827. He studied Jaw at Yale and began practicing in 1849, being clerk to the superior and supreme courts of Connecticut from 1854 to 1860. Being an active member of the state militia he was in command of the second company of volunteers_when the first call came for troops. ‘The President made him colonel of the regiment and he commanded it in the first battle of Bull Run. When his first tern of three months had expired he re- | turned to Cennecticutand organized the seventh yoluntcers, of which he was made colonel. With this force he was present at the capture of Port Royal, 8. C., and also at the sicge of Fort Pulaski, of which he was given charge after its capture. In April, 1862, he wax made a brigadier general of volunteers and served us such at the battle of Pocotaligo and in the operations against Charleston. During the siege of Forts Wagner and Sumpter he ‘vas |in command of the troops on Morris Island, | and after the reduction of Fort Wagner he was placed in command of the northern district of | the department of the south. He was brevetted major general of volunteers August 20, 1864, | and in October became permanent commander of the tenth corps. In January, 1865, Gen. Terry led the land attack on Fort Fisher, N. C. which resulted in the complete occupation of that work. Admiral Porter co-operated with his ‘fleet. For this valuable service Gen. Terry was made a brigadier gen- eral in the regular army and a major general of volunteers, while Congress passed a vote of thanks to him, Since the close of the war he has successively commanded the departments of Virginia, Dakota, the south and Dakota again. In March, 1886, he was promoted to be a major general and was in command of the division of the Mis- souri, with headquarters at Chicago, when he retired in April, 1588, for disability.

The Secretary is waiting for action to be taken on some of the pending bills before defining a line of operations, and he must wait for the atten- uated surplus. to fatten again before he can safely attempt to buy more bonds, this being almost the only means of releasing money at his command. ‘The recent ex- penditure of about 2,000,000 for fours it a good rate almost exhausted the mpply of ready cash and left the department nearly powerless without further authority and means are grant Con, The Secretary is dispowd to do everything that can legully be done to release money. and as one method he is buying silver to the limit. THE MONEY MARKET ON A SAFE FOOTING. The market seems tohave been placed ona safe footing ugain as far as the uctual need of fands are concerned and what is asked for by the bankers is not so much additional bond or silver purchases or other outlets of funds as legislation that will restore confidence and impart a greater elasticity to the currency.

Chief Jus- tice Bingham, however, came in promptly at 10 o'clock and District Attorney Hoge and Assist- ant District Attorney Clagett followed soon, bearing their papers and books, and Ward, the accused, and his counsel were not a minute behind. The court was well filled with specta- tors when, at five minutes past 10 o'clock, Mr. Clagett called as a witness Mr. Lewis Newmyer, the proprietor of the marble saloon at 9th and Ponnsylvania avenue, where the shooting occurred June 18 last. Mr. Newmyer was examined by Mr. Clagett. Aé wala canie in, saluted the barkeeper and asked for a bottle of beer.

Witness then told Mr. Ginnity to go for a doctor and to go to the club and get Adler's father. Adler lay in the saloon for an hour anda half after the shooting. He said nothing during that time. ‘The witness was asked again what Ward and Adler said just before the shooting. He replied that Adler said “I will have lemon and seltzer” and Ward said, with an upward interrogative inflection, ‘You will?” After the firing of the shots, he suid, the officers appeared almost as quick as witness could relate it. CHOSS-EXAMINED BY MB. WILSON. Mr. Newmyer was cross-examined by Mr. Wilson. Ward, he said, came in a little after 9 o'clock, and while there inquired for Mr. Frank Finley. This was before witness asked him to play pool. He inquired for Finley and then started to go out. Adler was not there at the time. Ward remained, when witness asked him to play pool. Mr. Wilson, rising, and using his pencil asa pointer, indicated different points of the court Toom to represent different positions in the bar room. : In this improvised scenery the judge's desk served for the bar, and Mr. Wilson put up one of the large photographs at the end of the desk to reprexent the mirror. ‘The tnirror, the witness said, was at the wost end of the bar.

Mr. Wilson asked the witness if on the morn- ing after the arrest he did not say in conve ion wit Bi tion with Mr. is, « patent lawyer, or Doc’ Shreeves, “I have Frank Ward now,’ or some- thing to that effect. Witness denied having made any such statement. To refresh the witness’ memory he asked him if he recollected pointing ont or telling Ennis where he could get drink on Sunday morning.

Mr. Clagett produced three cartridges and the witness said these were the three he took from the revolver. The witness was cross-examined at consider- able length as to all his movements. He said he had not seen the three cartridges since the night of the shooting, but the three produced Were just like them. "He had not marked the cartridges and had ne means of identifying them. Mr. Clagett wanted the officer to fit the car- tridges into Ward's revolver, but the defense admitted they were of the same caliber. Joshua Lloyd, the special officer who was with Policemen Hughes and Hamilton on the night of the shooting, gave an account of the officers’ arrival atthe saloon and what they saw there, his account being similar to that of the other officers. He said he heard Ward say, ‘he — Jew tried to do him up and be shot At this point a recess was taken until 1 o'clock. AFTER THE RECESS. After the recess among the auditors in the court room was Mra.

Witness heard Ward say something about a diamond pin. He heard him say also: “I shot twice,” or “I shot him twice,” the witness was not sure which. Adler when witness saw him lying on the floor‘had an umbrella in his hand. ‘Tho'witnom on crose-examination id that the time clapsing between the two shots was about long enough to count ten or fifteen.

He said there was no testimony offered by the government so far that showed any intent on the part of Mr. Ward to shoot at Mr. Adier. On the contrary the evidenc of the government's own witnesses wns to the effect Ward could not have shot Adler where he stood without shooting through Newmyer. ‘The testimony was that he shot at a Soe pillar and that Adler could not have 1 hit. “But he was bit,” remarked Mr. Clagett. THE THEORY OF THE DEFENCE. “He was hit,” suid Mr. Coleman, because the ball hit the post and ricocheted and hit Adler.” The district attorney objected to this argu- ment as to the testimony asan argument for | the jury and not for the court. ‘The judge said that he would not exclude ped testimony for the reasons urged by Mr. oleman. In the court's judgment the testimony offered was competent. THE FIGHT IN HURDLE'S SALOON.
