A CURIOUS BILL Mr. Skinner's Idea of Securing In- ternational Free Coinage. THE GOVERNMENT 0 SELL COTTON Commission Provided to Make All the Arrangements. WHAT HE SAYS OF THE PLAN There were many curious bills introduced during the session of Congress new closing, but Representative Skinner, populist, North Carolina, has the distinction of having put before the House the most unique of all measures. Like many other bills, it died in committee—a painless death—as abso- lutely no consideration was given it. Two or three facts combined to bury it. One was that it was introduced in the last of April, and was referred to the ways and Means committee, which already had its hands full. Another was that the few members of the committee who looked at the bill considered it too visionary and im- Possible to pay attention to. Mr. Skinner, who was the author of the famous subtreasury demand of the Al- liance, admits that there was no chance for his latest scheme to become law, but says that he wanted to show that the United States has the weapon in its hands to force silver coinage, and at the same time not only put a stop to the exportation of gold, but bring the precious metal to this country from across the water. To Corner Cotton. In brief, the bill proposes a grand gov- ernmental corner of the cotton crop of this country, and the forcing of certain financial changes, which seem impossible to accomplish by regular legislative meth- ods. The title of the bill was “To secure inter- national free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1; to maintain the gold reserve; to regulate the exportation and to protect the production and manufacturing of cot- ton within the United States. A few of the ideas proposed in the Dill have been seriously considered for years by prominent men, but as a whole such a law as is proposed by Mr. Skinned has never emanated from any law-maker. The bill provides that after the passage of the act no raw cotton shall be exported from the United States without permission and under direction of the Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary, under the rules and regulations prescribed, must purchase and export raw cotton on account of the treasury. A commission is provided for, to make ail arrangements for the disposition of the cotton. The commission is to consist of the Secretaries of Agriculture and ‘Treas- ury, together with the commissioners of agriculture of each of the cotton-producing st This commission must meet in ington not earlier tham February or later than August to formulate plans to purchase, store, sell and export the crop. The cotton shall be graded, and a price fixed, and shall be delivered at points or ports fixed by the Secretary, who shall pay for it in treasury notes of ‘any denomina- tion, redeemable in gold, or silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, or government 2 per cent bonds, payable in series, and within twen- ty-five years, having the same privileges as existing bonds. The Sceretary 1s authorized to sell to American manufacturers at cost, adding the usual expenses for storege, insurance, ele., and they can pay in treasury notes. bends, gold cr silver or currency. They are not prevented from buying directly from the planter. For export the Secretary must sell for a net advance of 331-3 per cent, and kere is where the bill gets in its work on gold standard countries, according to Mr. Skinner's views. From bimetallic countries which desire to buy the Secretary shall ac- cept payment in the same class of money he is authorized to accept from American manufacturer: “From single standard gold countries,” the bill says, “he shall ex- ct payment in gold until there shall be an international agreement for the free coin- ege of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1." Such en agreemert will operate as a repeal of the act. This is the germ of the bill. It is designed to force international action on the money question. What Mr. Skinner Says. Mr. Skinner says he does not believe in- ternational agreement necessary to free coinage of silver, but believes his plan ex- emplifies the ability;of this country to force almost any kind of agreement with foreign countries if it desires. Mr. Skinner’s argu- ments in behalf of the bill are as interest- ing as the plan itself. “I claim,” said Mr. Skinner, “that the bill would secure international bimetallism. As an example, say that the commission Provided for had met in February last and agreed to give the planter 10 cents a pound, cn the basis of ing cotton. The single standard gold countries absorb the bulk of cur export cotton and are obliged to have it. Under my plan they would have to pay 3.33 cents a pound in gold. Estimating that they must have and will take five mil- lion bales, there would be covered into the treasury of this country $300,000,000. If kept up, this would drain the single stand- ard countries of their gold in a few years, and make us the dominating factor in the world’s finances. To prevent this the single standard governments would soon come to an international agreement for the coinage of silver. This ts preferable to hawking our bonds and surrendering our ‘credit to an English syndicate.” Mr. Skinner claims that the United States would reap a net revenue of a hundred mil- lon dollars yearly, and that both the plant- er and manufacturer in this country would be highly benefited. The manufacturer would have a big advantage over foreign manufacturers. This, he says, would stim- ulate manufacturing interests and make this country the exporter of manufactured goods. It would encourage the planter, as he would know what to expect for his crop. Unless something is done to regulate the price of cotton and to prevent the control- ling influence of single startdard countries, Mr. Skinner thinks this country will have to go out of the cotton-growing business. “The bonds growing out of the plan,” Mr. Skinner says, ‘would form a basis for the creation of a new system of banking, and within themselves furnish a currency. The government can become the owner of the southern cotton crop, with a handsome rev- enue attached, and under the conditions that surround us it is but patriotic that we exercise this great commercial power te save our country from wreck and ruin. If the Belmont-Morgan-Rothschild syndi- cate had the same lever power, they would crush us In twenty-four hours.” ——_— +e. Knocked Down. This morning about 7:30 o'clock Mrs. M. A.

Fenwick and four others, rep- resenting the association of drivers of wagons which deliver beverages of varivus kinds to saloons and stores, appeared in the clerk's office of the Police Court today and swore out a warrant charging Fred- erick W. Dieste with being an unlicensed wholesule Hquor dealer. The warrant was sworn out because of action taken by the Bottlers’ Association. It is alleged that the members of the association who are in the employ of the bottlers are employed during the entire year, and that when busi- ness geis good in the summer a number of men go in the business on their own re- sponsibility and not in the employ of the wholesale dealers. These men, it is al- leged, buy their beer of the large dealers and then peddle it out to stores and saloons as well as to private houses, and thereby lessen the sa.es of the men who work at the business during the dull as well as the busy season. The warrant may be served tomorrow and the case heard next week. The result of the cese Is of vast importance to the men interested in the prosecution, and if this charge is sustained it is thought that many of the hot-weather dealers will be driven cut of business, for they cannot afford to pay the amount of the license tax.

More Legal Arguments in the Effort to Recover Children, Mr. A. S. Worthington of counsel for Mrs. Mary Kemble Slack today called the attention of the Ccurt of Appeals to the motions made by respective counsel in the matter of the controversy over the custody of Mrs. Slack’s children. The motion made by Mrs. Slack’s counsel was that the court issue forthwith its mandate directing Judge McComas, in conformity with the court's opinion, to transfer the custody of the children to their mother pending any sub- sequent proceedings. On the other hand, counsel for Mrs, Addie. Slack Perrine, the aunt and testamentary, guardian of the children, moved the coprt tg grant a re- hearing of the case. They based their mo- tion on the recent action sey chancery court, which cdurt, two ago, set aside the‘ordér giving Mrs. Slack the custody of her children, as well as the order of arrest issued. against Mr. and Mrs. Perrine because they removed the little ones to this jurisdictio; Mr. Worthington requeste hear the motion either at 3. 6'clock this af- ternoon or next Saturday. Mr. Jere. M. Wilson of counsel for Mrs. Perrine re- marked that in''view of the very grave Guestions at issue his side preferred that the hearing be set for Saturday.

THE PRESENT CONDITIONS —— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, June 11—In anticipation of a preliminary hearing being given to Randolph and Neale, the suspects in the Buxton case, quite a large crowd was here yesterday afternoon, among «them a num- ber who had been previously summoned as witnesses, and who will testify before the coroner's jury at Gaithersburg this after- noon. In order to allow a number of the latter persons to see the prisoners, in order to identify them, they were brought from their cells and placed in the jail yard, in company with a number of other prisoners, the jail being fully supplied with an assort- ment at present. Neale being well known in the community where the affair occur- red but little attention was paid to him. Randolph was placed in the conipany of four negfoes about his size and appearance and was identified by Mr. Wm. Gardner, residing near Washington Grove, from whom the ax that did the bloody work was stolen, as looking like the man he had seen near his house the day previous to the out- rage. Mr. Erasmus West was next taken in to the group, and readily identified Ran- ¢olph as the man he saw running across a field between Gaithersburg and Hunting Hill on the morning of the affair at Bux- ton’s house, and who was afterward cap- tured by Messrs. Garrett and Ward. A young boy who was near Mr. West on that morning also identified Randolph as the man he saw crossing Muddy branch, a stream between the two places. The inquest at Gaithersburg will com- mence this afternoon at 2 o'clock, and may be prolonged for some hours, as there are a large number of witnesses to be cxamin- ed. Rev. L. L. Lioyd and his friends are in- dignant at a story which appeared in a Washington paper yesterday morning to the effect that he accompanied the sheriff and posse in bringing the prisoners from the Baltimore jafl to this place. He was not in Baltimore on Tuesday, but had visited Garfield Hospital on that day at the request of Mr. and Mrs. Buxton, and knew nothing of the transfer of the prison- ers until after it had been done. Identification Not Complete. The so-called identifications made yester- day do not thrown any I'ght upon Ran- dolph’s direct connection with the crime. Mr. Gardner's identification of him as the man who had been near his wood pile was in no sense complete, and that of the others was unimportant, becuuse of the fact that Randolph was captured a few moments after they saw him. Sheriff Collier's ex- pectation that Randolph would weaken and confess, which he expressed to The Star correspondent Monday night, has not been realized. After the negro was exposed to scrutiny for identification purposes for a long time yesterday he was again taken in hand by the sheriff and put through a rigid examina- tic fer two or three hours, but stuck to the story of his wanderings and where- abouts with the same fidelity he has ex- hibited from the moment of his arrest. Sheriff Collier told me at the conclusion of bis endeavor to secure something additional from Randclph that he had been unsuccess- ul. It was cvident also that the sheriff was not as sanguine as he was formerly of con- victing Randolph of the crime, and from other sources f learned that he has been somewhat misinformed as to the real char- acter of the evidence upon which he based his confidence of fastening the crime upon the suspected man. Regarded as a Clue. Randolph told quite an important story, that will go far toward injuring his side of the case, in the opinion of those who have always believed him guilty. He said yesterday that he met a colored man, dressed in new clothes, wearing a watch chain, and a hat of light cloth, made in derby shape, at the terminus of the Ten- leytown electric line at Bethesda. This an- swers the description of Dink Neale, who 1g now in custody, and who went to Wash- ington the Saturday night before the mur- der, and missed the last train. He pur- chased new clothes, and came out on tke electric cars Sunday morning, walking from Bethesda to Rockville, where he spent the evening at the house of a woman named Nance; Miles. Neale, who is a cousin of George Neale, left the woman's house Sunday night, go:ng to Gaithersburg. He returned Monday morning to the place W. Tinker was chosen superintendent of | Of his employer, Lum Bell, where he was the market. Mr. Tinker has represented in| @frested last week. It is believed by some the company some of the large New Eng- land holdings, having served for some years past in the office as auditor, and is excellently qualified for his new position.
