The State Department has been advised through Mr. Shell, an artist and associate of Mr. Emerson, who was recently arrest- ed at Porto Rico as a spy, that Mr. Emer- son is safe. Emerson was a pictorial work- er for some of the leading American mage- zines. The attention of his relatives was attracted to his arrest by a press dispatch which described him as a German subject named Emersohn. They immediately rec- ggnized the description as applying to Mr. Emerson and appealed to the State Depart- ment to make inquiries as to his where- abouts with the result above announced. auditor's | CHANDLER ON SILVER Has Anti-Gold Standard Amendment to the Revenue Bill. — ee FOR COINAGE OF THE SEIGMORAGE Patriotic Speeches in the House of Representatives. THE DAY IN CONGRESS ee eS > A bill for the protection of homestead settlers who enter the military or naval service of the United States in time of war was passed by the Senate at the opening of today's session. The bill provides that the service in the war with Spain shall be considered as residence and work upon the land, and that by enlistment the claim shall not be forfeited. When the war revenue bill was taken up the absence of a quorum was suggested, and fifteen minutes were consumed in as- sembling the requisite number of senators. Mr. Chandler (N. H.), assuming, he said, that the majority of the finance committee would insist upon its proposition to coin the silver seigniorage, and that the repub- lican minority would press its bond propo- sition, thought it proper to offer some re- marks upon an amendment which he had offered to the pending bill. The amend- ment follows: Mr. Chandler's Silver Amendment. “And it is hereby declared to be the pol- icy of the United States not to commit the country more thoroughly to the gold standard, but that the efforts of the gov- ernment in all its branches shall be steadily directed to secure and maintain the use of silver as well as gold as standard money with the free coinage of both under a sys- tem of bimetallism which will insure the parity in value of the coins of the two metals, furnish a sufficient volume of me- tallic money and give immunity to the world of trade from violent fluctuations in exchange.” Referring to the general features of the bill, Mr. Chandler declared that the op- ponenis of the existing war should not be allowed to make it unpopular by the inflic- tion upon the people of onerous and ill- advised taxation. He urged that it were better to await the developments of the war before making extensive provision for it. A few months hence, he thougat, it would be far easier than it now is;to determine what amount of taxation should be levied. Mr. Chandler announced his opposition to the issue of legal tender notes. The war, he said, could be fought to a triumphant close without endangering the parity of gold and our existing paper money. In his opinion, however, the proposed coinage of the silver seigniorage was an entirely different thing. He saw advantages that would accrue to the country from the conversion of the selgniorage into money and not the least danger. He felt, therefore, that it would be wise and healthy to coin the seigniorage. He also favored an Issue of ten-year 3 per cent bonds as the cheapest way of raising needed funds for the prosecution of the war. Mr. Chandler then began a discussion of the financial question, in which he opposed the gold standard and advocated bimetal- lism. Secretary Gage Criticined. In the course of a discussion of the admin- istration’s effort to secure international bi- metallism, Mr. Chandler criticised Secre- tary Gag2 sharply for the position he had assumed in attempting irrevocably to com- mit the administration to the gold standard. Following a reference to the work of the bi- metallic commission in Europe he intro- duced in his speech a letter which ne wrots to the President last September, in which he prophesied the failure of the commis- sion’s efforts. “To this lett2r,” said Mr. Chandler, at the conclusion of the reading, “I received no reply.” Mr. Chandler then referred to the mes- sage of the President transmitting the ac- tion of the Indianapolis mon2tary commis- sion, and said the House hastened to take action in favor of the gold standard. He continued to discuss the action of Secretary Gage and criticised his hostility to silver and international bimetallism. Speaking of the action of the T2ller resolution, which reaffirmed the Stanley Matthews silver reso- lution, he said that Secretary Gag2 had Many supporters in the republican party. He said that at the head of those who voted for the Matthews resolution in the Check and Small Suits. made in every way; $3.50 and $3.75 values—and the Tow is.. wd Sizes 3 to ¥5 years.

Allison of Iowa. He thought !t remarkable that what was true and honest twenty years ago was tru> but dishonest now. Mr. Chandler said the republican party did not hesitate to reorganize the Supreme Court in order to assert the right of the United States to issue irredeemable paper money. He reviewed the various decisions of the Supreme Court on this subject, and said that national honor was not in danger by coit-age of silver if it was not endangered by the issue of paper. Mr. Chandler spoke for an hour and a half, and was accorded careful attention throughout. A concurrent resolution directing the commission appointed to codify the crim- inal laws of the United States to prepare and submit to Congress a code of civil pro- cecure for the district of Alaska, which had been slightly amended by the House of Representatives, was concurred in. Mr. Hoar Denies the Charge. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) made a reply to a part of Mr. Chandler’s remarks, manifesting much irdignant feeling. He said that whether tke Secretary of the Treasury was in financial accord with the administration, with the President personally, or with the Senate, did not seem to him much to affect a bill providing the sinews for the existing war, Referring to the charge made by Mr. Chandler that the Supreme Court had been packed by President Grant for the pur- Pore of reversing the decision against the constitutionality of legal tender notes, Mr. Hoar declared that it was ‘“‘an infamous and vile slander upon an eminent citizen of Massachusetts (Attorney General Hoar), a tran long since dead, whose reputation is untarnished, and whose fame is dearer to me than is the remaining portion of my life. Stating my belief tnat the honorable senator (Mr. Chandler) has been misled, I declare upon my responsibility as a sena- tor and as a gentleman the charge that the Supreme Court was packed to declare the issue of legal tender notes constitu- tional Is as vile a slander as ever thrust up its dirty head from the stump:” x Mr. Hoar then gave a circumstantial ac- count of the constitution of the Supreme Court at that time, and of the changes in it that were about that time made. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The chaplain in the House today referred to the war and prayed for such prosecution as would bring an early peace “with honor and glory to American arms” and wita @ breader civilization to the world. In the galleries w a general sprinkling of s9l- diers from Camp Alger. Removing Political Disabilities. Mr. Jenkins (Wis.) secured consideration of the Senate bill removing all political disabilities incurred by the third section of the fovrteenth amendment to the Constitu- tion. The bill precipitated an unexpected debate, which turned upon the constitu- tional right of Gen. Joe Wheeler, who, without resigning from the House, has as- sumed and now holds the office of major general in the volunteer army. Mr. Lacey (Iowa), advocating the Dill, had referred to the present as an opportune time for passing the bill, and incidentally spoke of Gen. Wheeler as being absent on leave, an ex-confederate serving in the country’s army, an_ ante-bellum West Pointer, whose disabilities had been re- moved by an act several years since. Mr. Bailey (Texas) took the floor in op- Position to the bill. “It is,” he sald, “to correct a false state- ment of the gentleman from Iowa. The gentleman from Alabama is not absent on leave of the House and will not be with my consent so long as I am a member.”” “Mr. Speaker,” cried Mr. McMillin (Tenn.), interrupting, “there is not a member of this House who does not love the general from Alabama for going to the front to serve his country. “I say,” continued Mr. Bailey, with con- siderable feeling, “I do not believe a man can hold under the Constitution a military and civil office at the same time, and 1 would object to a proposition that would embody the abandonment of this belief, even were it made for my brother.” “I want to say, Mr. Speaker,”’ responded Mr. McMillin, “I would not object to grant- ing leave to any man on this floor who might want to go and put their bodies to the fire of the enemy.” & Mr. Bailey secured later the floor and ex- plained his position, arguing at length the unconstitutionality of any one hokiing a military and civil office at once. He quoted precedente and referred to the recent case of Senator Sewell as establshing that the ac- ceptance of a military commission vacated the congressional office which the party ac- cepting formerly occupied. “The general from Alabama,” concluded Mr. Bailey, “cannot serve in the army and here in the House, and his people ought to have representation.” Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio indorsed the posi- tion taken by Mr. Bailey, and incidentally Geclared his belief that no man’s patriot- ism will be called in question because he stands rigidly by the terms of the Consti- tution and its manifest spirit. Proceeding he digressed to speak eloquently and feel- ingly of the reunited country, and the uni- versality of patriotism manifest upon every hand. He attributed the friendly attitude of Europe, now growing daily more pro- nounced, to the fact that Europe was ¢eon- vinced for the first time that absblute loy- alty prevailed in this land. “If there is anything that makes a sol- dier of the late war feel grateful to Al- mighty God it is to be permitted to live to see the present union of his country.” Concluding, he declared “I am ready to vote to remove every vestige of legislation uch as is aimed at in this bill, and also, elp me, God, I will try to forget. The speech of Mr. Grosvenor was brief, but so non-sectional, fraternal and patri- otic that the entire House broke into gen- erous applause. In the course of his remarks, referrin; to the statements that some states had no! reeponded promptly to the call for volun- teers, he explained it on the ground that National Guard organizations in some states were not so well advapced as in others, and where raw men were to be pre- sented it required longer to respond than in cases where well-equipped National Guardsmen were ready for instant re- sponse. He refuted the insinuation that delay was consequent to any want of in- terest or patriotism in any quarter. ‘The speech called forth a response from Mr. Settle of Kentucky upon the part of the south, NEW POSTMASTERS.

Jel1&S2t e = peste NAVAL RESERVE. Physical Condition of Ap- plicaats for New Battalion. The general character of the men. physi- cally examined last evening at the head- quarters of the naval battalion in the National Guard Armory gives promise of the successful formation of an efficient naval organization. The examining sur- geons, headed by Gen. Henderson, worked for two hours ‘subjecting the men to the examiration prescribed by the Naval Regu- lations. A further examination will be held in the-rifle galery Sunday, June 5, at 1 o'clock p.1n., whey] those passed last even- ing, as well as thase not yet examined, will be tested in the! matter of eyesight. It is interesting tb note the general objects of this org: ition, which are primarily to educate ad drill a class of men in the art of naval warfare from which, in time of need, the regular navy may ask for vol- unteere, and while the organization will be known as a néval battalion under the law, yet it wil be constituted as a ship's company. A:ships supposed to be divided into four parts‘by a lMne running fore and aft and another athwart ship through the center. Eachrof these parts will be manned by about 100 men,termed a division,in charge of a lieuten a}ijeftenant Gunior grade) and t nisi ad} ir all cay in drills each dfyiston ork by fei nits own part of the ship, keep its part clean and be responsible for its general efficieucy. The character of drills differs much from that of an ordinary militia company, for while infantry drill is not neglected, yet the drill with heavy ordnance, field artil- lery, sword, pistol, boat and ficet tactics gre the most important, and they furnish a diversity of occupation that arouses strong interest and gives a chance for the best qualities and adaptabilities of the men to develop. It is probabie‘thata fiumber of boats will be furnished by the Navy Department for drill in fleet tactics, and as soon as a suit- able ship becomes available it will be turned over to the naval battalion for Practice on the waters of the Potomac ané Chesapeake bay. At the head of, the battalion are men who have had tke advantages of a thor- ough education in naval matters at the United States Naval Academy, and much practical experience afloat, and thus an exceptional opportunity is’ afforded those who have a liking for the sea or naval matters to be thoroughly instrilcted in the duties of a sea life. It is not necessary that men should be familiar with or have had experience in the navy, as under these rill masters much will be learned in the course of a few weeks or months. ‘The headquarters of the battalion are at resent located in the rifle gallery of the National Quard Armory, over Center Mar- ket, Pennsylvania avenue between 7th and 9th streets northwest, and enlistment books are open here every evening this week be- tween 8 and 10 o'clock. =—_— Marriage Licenses.

Frauds Cemmitted in Order to Obtain [| Primitive Articles of Offense Pensions, Catherin2 Murphy of Willimantic, Conn., was convicted in the United States district court at Hartford, Conn., for perjury com- mitted in connection with her claim as the widow of John Murphy of Company I, 50th Massachuset‘s Infantry, original No. 617336, James D. Harston, a notary public of Min- co, I. T., was convicted of forgery and false impersonation of a pensioner at Guthrie, Okla., and s2ntenced to three years in the penitentiary. The defendant was also a jus- tice of the peace and assistant postmaster. AS a justice he conducted the inquest held on the body of the dec2ased soldier, who was found dead in a field near Union, Okla., February 7, 1893.‘ Subsequently the widow applied to Harston for aid in obtaining her pension, and he pretended that he would do all that he could to szcure the same for her, instead of which he destroyed all pa- pers, with a view to preventing the pension office from obtaining knowledge of the fact of the pensioner’s d2ath, which he was readily able to accomplish, because the Widow had tmplicit confidence in his integ- rity; and in “his capacity as assistant post- master he succeeded in getting hold of all mail addressed to ths deceased soldier.
