A delegation appointed by the Boston mass meeting was present, desiring to be heard. Mr. Bland (Mo.) ssked unanimous consent thats vote be taken on the bill next Wednes- day.

Mr. Walker insisted that the situation was different last year, as was not then the same apprehension of free coinage as at present. Mr. Williams of Illinois deni this state- | ment and said that the Senate had passed a free coinage bill last year, justas it had this year. There was a spirited discussion between Mr. Walker and Mr. Taylor of Ilinois, who op- any limitation on hearings, and Messrs. nd, Bartine and Williams, who favored giv- ing the House anity for action. IP ¥ unanimous con- sent of a motion made by Mr. Bland that the committee proceed with the hearing today and meet again tomorrow. EFFECT OF THE SILVER BILL. H. L. Higginson, banker, of Boston then took the staud. He said that since the passage of the silver bill of last session there had been @ great and increasing timidity on the part of capitalists and small investors. That feeling had reached an acute point. The merchants were frightened because they feared the cffect of free coinage. There was a gencral shrink- | age in business. The bankers, moreover, had seen for months that Europe did not care to send money here. Mr. Carter wanted to know if this fear on the part of moneyed men did not result from the | startling news that the Baring Brothers were rippled and that South American affairs were in a bad state. the Barings trouble and when the silver agita- tion began last year. CANADA AND RECIPROCITY. Sir Charles Tapper to Come to Washington ‘From Canada. ‘RUS VISIT 18 PROBABLY FOR HOME POLITICAL EFFECT ONLY—THE TORY SCHEME OF REC PROCITY NOT LIKED HERE—NO TREATY LIKELY ‘TO FoLLow. A special dispatch to a New York paper this morning states that Sir Charles Tupper is com- ing to Washington for the purpose of negoti- ating » reciprocal commercial treaty between the United States and Canada. This news, if, indeed, it be accurate, is very | bore conaidered interesting, when im connection with the fact that Canada is now on the eve of ‘@ general election, for which the most elaborate Preparations have been made by both of the great parties of the Dominion. Tux Stan is able to state with positivences that whatever movements are it to be made by Canadian politicians toward reci- procity are quite without any Moves on the part of this government. Indoed, no intimation whatever has been re- ceived here of the inception of a plan that in- clodes any efforts on the part of Sir Charles Tupper, represcnting,of course, the great tory party of Canada, ¢ © the State Department on this aay important ma! stter. ‘The fact is parliament is about tobe dis- solved prior toa general election. There is a ‘necessity for urgent efforts on the part of \the office-holding tories to retain their Place in publie estimation. Sir John Macdon- ald, premier and leader of the torica, has the reputation of being adverse to the general reel scheme, his record being that of persistent obstrnetionist in the way of a com- mercial union between the two countries. LIMITED OVEnTCRES. He bas, however, made certain overtures to this government looking to a very limited reci- Procity which covers only ‘natural prodacte.”” Sach a proportion is, of cou: extremely, distastefal to. the Cnitod States, for in it there is no chance for the admission of the manufactures of this aide, which should, in the estimation of the people of the United States, be given an equal oppor- tunity with the agricultural products of Can- eo The latter, it is thought, are not needed ere. DISTRUSTFUL OF TUPPER. With these facts in mind it is not difficalt to perceive how distrustful the United States will probably be of any advances made by the great tory, Tupper, which would be made only too | vided for.

The United States Electric Lighting Company's were 60 cents per apparently for the pnrpose of influ- encing popular opinion in Canada at this intoresting timc. To be sure Tupper has probably the right to come, and pong een | armed with authorities that will gain him ad- mission to the council chamber at the State Department, but the impression is all too re that the visit, if made, is for “home consumption” only, to make it very likely that there will be any serious attempt on head Veal of the United States to negotiate a reaty. Why should this “binff” by the Canadian Tories be made? ‘This question is but a natural one and quite easily answered. Canadians, as rule, are anxious for a closer union with the United States, whether political or commercial. RECIPROCITY POPULAR IN CANADA. Reciprocity is just now s popular theory there, not the limited, one-sided reciprocity THE SILVER POOL, Gen. Boynton a Witness Before the Com- inittee. The silver pool investigation was resumed this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock: Gen. Boynton was first examined, and testified that he had been told by « gentleman, who was in the com- mittee room at a a certain time with tho knowl- edge and by authority of the commit- tee, und had heard (not overheard) & conversation between‘ Mr. ~ Dingley - | and Mr. Payne to the effect that they were eur- prised and sorry to have heard the testimony implicating Senator Cameron in the silver speculations, and that they gave the impres- m that they regretted therefore going into the investigation. ‘Mr. Dingloy inquired the name of Gen. Boyn- ton’s informant, but the wituoes said he didn't know as he was ready to answer that question. Mr. Payne inquired why he would not give the name, and Gen. Boynton explained the ethics of journalism as to this particular point and some interchange of sentiments regarding it was made. THE INDIANS COMING. They Are Expected to Reach This City To- morrow Morning. Indian Commissioner Morgan received # dis- patch this morning from Special Indian Agent Lewis, who is in charge of the Sioux Indian delegation now on their way to this city, that the party left Chicago last evening. ‘They will reach here tomorrow morning. There are fourteen in the delegation, includ- ing three interpreters. No arrangements een made in regard to the hearing to be to the delegation, but they will probably have their first interview with Secretary Noble on Friday. THE COPYRIGHT BILL. ulte Sanguine of Its Succes, The friends of the internationai copyright bill are now inétined to be quite sanguine of success this session. According to the order of business agreed upon by the Senate committee yesterday the copyright Dill holds a favorable position, standing second in order of regular succession after the apportionment bill is dis- posed of, and thus far there are no symptoms of any break in the routine. Mr. R. U. Johnson of the Century Magazine was at the Capitol today and expressed himself as hopeful of the success of the measure within @ short time. The friends in the Senate, bill in deavor to pam the in which it the House last year, while the opposition to the international’ copyright movement would be concentrated in an ‘eflort to kill the bill by engrafting upon it an smend- ment in favor of extending its privileges to the chromo-lithographic interest.

Matters Presented in Both Houses Which Are of Local Interest. Senator Manderson this morning offered a bill to amend the sundry civil appropriation bili so as to make applicable to the library of the naval observatory the clause relating to the binding of books for the various departments of the government. Mr. Manderson also submitted a yesolution, which was referred to the committee on print- ing, providing that 1,200 additional copies of each of the appendices to the annual volumes of observations of the naval observatory for 1896, 1887 and 1888 be printed and bound for the use of the observatory. ‘RENTING OF MARINI'S HALL. In the House this morning Mr. Cannon, from the committee on appropriations, made a re- port recommending the passage of the resolu- tion extending the ppropriation of £4,000 per annum for the rent of Marini Hall for the use of the mbney order division for any jod not beyond the first day of next y. The original appropriation limited the date to February 1, 1891, at which time the con- tract for the new ‘money order building stipu- luted that it should be ready for occupancy. ‘The Postmaster General reported Inst month that the contractors had been unable to fulfill the letter of the agreement, owing to bad weather, &e., and he was satisfied that they had done the best they could under the circumstances. He therefore recommended the extension of time to May 1, 1891, and the committee nowap- proves the recommendation. —__—___ 2 ANOTHER VICTIM OF GAs. Chas. Charles MacGregor, who has been employed as a clerk in the census office, was found dead in bed in his room in the Mount Vernon Hotel this afternoon. The deceased was apparently forty or forty-five years old and had been liv- ing at the Mount Vernon since last Friday. He formerly lived at No. 516 East Capitol street. His wife died only a few days ago and it was after her death that he broke up housekeeping ‘and went to the hotel to live. Last night he went to his room about 9 or 10 o'clock, aud that was the last time he was seen alive. Shortly after noon today the housckee; amelled gas escaping from the room that Me- Grogor occupied and she tried the door, but it was locked. She informed the proprietor of what she had discovered und when the door was broken open Met x's dead body was found lyi across the |.

O48 LiaRTIXa. “A comparison of the above propositions for gas lighting,” says Capt. Lusk, “with those sub- mitted in 1889 shows little difference between the two, so far as regards for annual and for five-year contracts. companies, how- ever, submit this year the figures at which they are willing to undertake the main- tenance of street lamps for 3,000 hours per annum, instead of 2,600 hours as nt present. These figures serve serious attention. because experience has fully demonstrated that so long as the number of hours of burning is restricted to a yearly total of 2,600, the gas lighting service will fail to give eatisfaction to the pul Complaint as fo the sboriness of the bours of lighting fs general, both on the part of residents and of Visitors.” Atable is given rules in other cities. It will be seen, says the that Washington has only about 75 cent of the average ‘ly number (3,480) of hours of Highting for the other twenty-three cities given in the list. In other words, that the annual period of lighting now prescribed must be increased by one-third in order to place Washington on an —— in this respect with the other large cities of the country. I urgently recommend that action be taken toward securing an exten- sion of this number of of lighting to not vue Washington and, George ington ai town t Ry or perform the lighting service, as at present, un- der an annual contract, for 3,600 hours per an- num, at the price now pee, or £20 per lamp, and for 3,000 hours at $22 per lamp. ‘The proposed increase in cost for the 3,000 hours’ service under annual contract is not proportionate to the gain to the public. In other words both = companies, under an annual contrae:, are willing to make a reduc- tion of $1.08 from the price for 3,000 hours of lighting per year, as computed directly from i upon 3,000 hours of lighting for each term of contract the Washington Gas- light Company makes a reduction of #1 per lamp per annum from the figures computed directly from prices bid for 2,600 hours. Under like conditions, however, the George- town Gaslight Company, while’ pro; a reduction from the computed pri lamp for 3,000 hours, under an annual con- tract, diminishes this reduction to 50 centa per lamp for a five-year contract, and for ten years {increases the bid to 8 cents above the computed Price. “In the present condition of the art of street lighting,” Capt. Lusk says, “I believe that ten Jeers is too long a time to enter into a contract for any kind of light.” MORE HOURS. Considering, however, that by an increased expenditure of $1.50 per lamp per year, or ‘734 per cent of what is now paid under annual contracts, the service can be tended to 3,000 hours, a period be- tween 15 and 16 per cent longer than at present, I believe it would be advantageous to enter into a five-year contract with the gas companies to light the lamps 3,000 hours per annum at a cost of $21.50 per lamp, unless the same favorable rates can be secured for a shorter period. It should be distinctly understood that the Washington Gaslight “ Company bases ite roposition con i a ten-year contract tim the condition that the District will enter an agreement wi ‘com not Jess than 6,000 amy PB of the current year this company will have in service about that number of lamps.

MEIZER MAY DIE. ‘The Census Office Clerk Who Was Robbed and Thrown From the Cara. It is now feared that Mr. J. H. Heiser cannot live much longer. Mr. Heizer, as reported in ‘Tux Stan at the time, was found on the line of the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad one Saturday night about a month ago with his foot badly crushed. ‘The injury was inflicted by the train which left at 7 p.m. Mr. Heizer was on his way to Takoma Park and, he stated that while passing from one car to another he was grabbed by two unknown men, who robbed him and threw him from the train. As published at the time the surgeo Providence Hospital performed an operation, removing his foot, and for a while the patient did well, but he again got worse, and a week ago it was found necessary to make a second amputation. Since that time the patient has grown worse until he is_now very weak. The sisters at the hospital said today that they feared be would not recover. ——— THE CASE OF CROSS. He Still Asserts His Innocence of Murder- ing His Wife. Two weeks from next Friday is the day set for the execution of William Douglass Cross, the colored man who was convicted of the murder of his wife in South Washingtoa. His wife's death resulted from a pistol shot wound, and the prisqner still insists that she committed suicide and that he did not fire the fatal shot. His counsel, Mr. C. M. Smith,and his spiritual adviser, the Rev. John Boberta, both believe in the innocence of the condemned men. and say that even if he is denied a new trial he will make no confession. The case will probably be decided in the Court in General Term next week, and in event of a decision adverse to the prisoner it is likely that the President will grauta farther stay of execution for a month. sShariedmacmane Gen.
