e, M1 ) X — THE OMAHA DAILY BEE NINETEENTH YEAR. CYRUS W, FIELD FORGOTTEY. | Indignant Because He Was Not Invited to | the Garfield Dedication. CONFERENGE ON THE PENSION BILL, The Senate Conferces Unyelding— Progress of the Finance Commite tee—Washburn Surprises Bvery- body — Silver Talk. VasmiNGTON Bunreau Tite OyMAnA Bee, 513 FOURTRENTH STREET, Wasmxaroy, D. C., June The venerable Cyrus W, Ficld has written some very indignant letters to friends in Washington complaining that he was not in- vited to the dedication of the Garficld monu- ment. After the assassination of Garfield it was he who raised the fund of §400,000 for the benefit of the widow, and during the memo- rial exerelses held in the house of represent- atives in 1882 he was the guest of honor and sat with the president and cabinet. He thinks he should have received similar distinction at the Cleveland ceremonies, but was entirely overlooked, although thousands of invitations were sent to others, It is not possible that any slight was intended. The local commite tee who had charge of the arrangements at Clevelund simply forgot him, STUBBORN SENATORS, Representative Morrill, the chaivman of the conference commitice on the part of the house on the pension bill, told me this afternoon that the «om uittee would have another meet- ing tomorrow und that he hoped that th would be ab.c to agree, Ho was not entively certain of it, but still was confident. “We cannot afford to let the bill fail,” he re marked. *“And if the senators will not yield, we will t Mr. Morrill thinks that if the senate conferees would permit them to submit the points of difference item by item toavote of the house that an agréement might be reached much earlier, but the seu- ate commttce insists that the bill shall be voted on as a whole, SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE, Senator Aldrich, who is very active in his worlk on the tavift bill, told me this afternoon that the senate sub-commitice on finance would complete its work on the measure and would be able to submit it to the full commit- tee some time next week, He thinks it may e reported {o the house by the I5th of the month and that it can be got through the sen- ate before July 1, but the other members of the committeé are not so sanguine as Mr. Aldrich and are expecting a long session, It is probable that the duty on lumber will be reduced from $2 to §1 per 1,000 feet, al- though the Michigan, Wisconsin and Muine men are working havd to muintain the pres- entrate. They would be likely to aceept a compromise of £1.50 per 1,000, which was the rate fixed in the bill that passed the s last scssion, but they still insist that they will not do’ so. Scnator Washburn of Mir nesOta has created a great deai of surprise by fntroducing an amendment to the taviff bill, placing white pine lumber on_the free list, and as he comes from a state that produces a great deal_of Jumber, his motive is not thor- oughly understood, but it is said that the sena- tor is more interested in railway transporta- tion than heis in saw mills and wauts to stimulite importation by railroad from Canada. PADDOCK'S INSPECTION TILL, The committee on agriculture today in- stracted Senator Paddock to report favor: 1o the senate his bill for the inspection of live eattle and beef products intended for export to foreigu countries. This measure provides that the secretary of agriculture shall make a caveful inspection of all live cattle whose meat is iutended to be exported to forcign countries, with a view to ascertaining whether fhe cattle are free from discase and the meat ound and wholeso: and that the fnspeetion shall be authorized to sco that all tle and hogs about to be slaughtered at slaughter houses and whose carca are to be transported or sold into any other state or territory shall prior to their slaughter be inspected, and thut all such dise hogs or cattle shall be de stroyed. The bill provides fora regular in spection 1o be formulated by the secretary of agriculture, for the carrying into effect of its provisions in such a manner that the e the fullest and most thovough saf provided against the sule or exportation of discased live cattle or meats, This measure s been rendered necessary by the continued trictions put upon the export of American attle and hogs by foreign countries. It is trongly supported by leading live stock Als and the agricultural interests gen- erally of the count NOTHING HUT SILVER TALK. There is nothing heard at the capitol but ailver talk andthe debaters seem tireles: But it will be out of order on the house si at 3 o'clock tomorrow and the manager bill believe the senate will vote upon the bill before the end of the week, so thut other legislation can be considered. "I'he flscal year will expire June 30 and sev eral of the most important appropriation bills are still in committee, A good deal of nervousness is felt on the re publican side of the house over the result of the vote on the silver bill tomorrow, Yesterdany Representative Payson and nineteen other republicans” declared that they would vote to recommit the bill and fnstruct the commitice to report a free coinuge measure unless the republicay would agree to strike out the bullion demption feature of the pending il Th reads us follow Provided that upon de wand of the holder of any of the treasury notes herein provided for tho secretary of th treusury may, at his discretion and unde such rogulations as he shall prescribe, « change for such notes an amouut of silver bullion which shall be eq; value at the market price thereof on the date of exchung to the amount of such notes as presented,’ But under the rules there is 10w no way by Which the speaker canentertain a motion to strike out the previous question it ha been ordered on the and the pending amendment, and when they heve been voted upon there will be only tivo motions in order. First, to re commit the bill to the committee,and, second, hat the bill do pass, yson said yesterday that he thought e saw i way to gef in a motion to strike out the objectioiable clause and he still thinks he can do it, but both McKinfey and Cannon, who are members of the comiuittee on rules, said this afterncon that it was impossible, Mr. Blaud iusists that the speaker has agreed to recognize him to make a motion to recommit the bill with instructions to the comuiittee to 1eport u free coimage measure within forty-eight hours, and that both My McKinley and Mr. Cannon in their speeches yesterduy acknowledged that such an agrec ment existed. The speaker declined to be interviewed on the subject, but both My MekKinloy und Mr. Cannon” say that the op portunity to vote upon such a proposition will bo” offered. Mr. Bland, they suy, may not be the person recoghized to mike the m tion, but probably some free coinage republi cun will be, This causes a vow. The speaker ready criticised for refusing to allow the demourais to ofter amendments to the bill yésterday, Four amendments wero offered, but they were all from the republican side, so that the democrats may properly say that ¢ have had no voice in” the legislation. 1 think the speaker will recognize Mr. Bland if he recognizes any one, and that will depend upon # confidential canvass thut is going on this afternoon. The republican lead- es are counting noses to see how many members will vote with the democrats on such u proposition. 1f they find that enov will do so to adopt it, no ane will be rec nized, although Mr. Bland will make such clatter us was uever heard before. If the find that there is no danger of its adoption Mr. Bland will be given an opportunity to wake a buncombe record Although there are at least twenty anti free coiuage democrats in the house, they will not be depended upon because they are Ukely to vote against their convictions to embaruss the republicans or else not vole at le bill s of the | OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING, all. The free colnage republicans are very firm tonight. ¢ say that there are four- | teen who still adhere to their original inten- tion of voting to recommit the bill unless the bullion clause is stricken out, and that is u sufticient number to carry the propo- sition, but the wires are being pulled as they have seldom been pulled before to secure a solid party support for the bill as it was adopted by the caucus, The frec silver senators are assisting in the canvass and are giving assurances that they will strile out the objectionable clause when the bill gets to that end of the eapitol, but this does not satisfy the free coinage repub- licans in the house, They arguc that their constituents are in favor of free coinage and will not forgive them for not voting for it, now that the opportunity offers. Their re- nomination to congress s at stake and they must take care of themselves, Just what the result will be is hard to conjecture, but the republican leaders will not permit the bill to 0 back to the committee if they can prevent it. They realize that if a frec” coinage bill passes the house it is likely to pass the senate also by a combination betiveen the democrats and republicans from west of the Missouri, and then it will certainly be vetoed by the vresident, A TOT WEATHER INCIDENT. There was a funny scene in the house this afternoon. The heat has been intense here for the lst three or four days and the ther- mometer has inety in the hall of repy able Mr. Walker of Massachusetts, who is a very stont man, became so warm in discussing the silver bill that he removed his coat and collar and cuffs, whereupon he was greeted by a tremendous round of applause on both sides of the nouse, but the speaker did not quite approve of this informality and sent a page to inform Mr. Walker that he had better resume his ments, The latter declined to do so, ferring comfort to formality even at the of violating the rules and offending speaker, who soon after rapped him down and declured that his timo had expired. Many of the representative and several of the senators are adopting the neglige shirt and linen coats, and the ser- geant-at-arms issues fans to cach of the mem- ber morning. The senators have a big tub of lemonade in one of their cloak rooms and are making themselves as com- fortable as possible.

The agreem nt was to advance rates on June 9, but this de- cision of the three roads will postpone wat- ters.

This does not suit the other roads, however, as if they ad rates us agreed they will be carrying gers for €15, while the Burlington, unti 500 tickets are used, will carry them for §2.

Ifone could connect - +he stories on file in the pension oftice and in . the committees of con- gress in such a way a8 to make a_continuous narrative, they would excel all the works which haye heretofore been put into book form. In the preparation of committee re- ports letters and staténients are often found which tell of incidents quite as affective as the one related of Damon and Pythias, The senate committee on pensions hns been con- sidering a bill to grant & pension of §2,000 a year to the widow of the lute General Crook, the great Indian fighter who recently died in command of the division at Chicago. This great warrior left his widow in absolute need, although he was upon a good salary for quarter of a century and had hundreds of op- portunities to have made a splendid_compe- tence if his ambition had run in that direction, There have been many stories published about General Crook illustrative of bravery and kind_heart, but in its prepara- tion of a favorable report upon the bill to pension Mrs, Crook the committee has been given a letter from the files of the pension office whick has never betn seen by the pab- lic and which relates an incident showing the remarkabie type of manhood which was not only possessed by General Crook, but a man who was once at the great warrior's mer and received unusual agt of hifmane tre ment, The letter should be intrody the statement that General Crook in , 1865, one day left Bis command in the of ‘Cumberland, Md., to pay a visit Sweetheart, now his widow, Miss Mary Daly, and while in Cumberland was captured by confederate soldiers, The letter below was received by him while in p “BeLLevuE, Bedford City, Pa, “Sir: The morning papers have just in- formed me of your capture. “During General Hunter's advance on Lynchburg last summer the column of the ny under your command encamped withi sight of my residence.

This was demanded by the great mass of tho American people, 1t was no argument to say the people didn’t understand the question. The people could think and reason as well as members of congress. The judgment of the | popular mind, like a woman’s reasoning, was us right. Commenting on the three measures before the house, he said the | fre Dbill was the most objectionable, Und friendly secretary it muy be useful in increasing the volume of currency, but under an unfriendly secretary it might be dangerous, Personally he thought the fice coinage bill showed not only the best but the quick way to seitle the ques- tion, but ~he thought it was | always best to yield something even to preju dice, if by doini so legislation”almost equally efficacion tionable could bo s cured. Such ameasure was the republican caueus bill, Mr. Flower of New York confined his marks not to the silver question, but to a constitutional amendment relegating to people within preseribed localities the choice of such ndministrative officials whose funtion of office lics mostly within a preserived area and whose choice is of consequence only to the people whom they immediately serve; I Mr, Lacy of lowa said the country was met with a contraction of the currcney, The pending bill proposed to give the country an inerea j¢ fon and even mor v a free coinaze bill. The capacity of the mints was £50,000,000. The output of -the mints was 51,000,000, The free comage of every dollar of American sitver would be about $51,000,000. yet this bill proposed to give 54,000,000 of fegal tender treasury note 1t was a free coina 13 ure because it provided that when silver was at_par the mints should be opened to free coinage. The country d an_expansion of the currency in a safe way, and this bill provided for it. Mr. Walker of Massachusetts spolce against free coi wsserted that the de- | monetization of silver was not ihe cause of the decrease of prices. Prices had been going down for 100 years. More money meant more misery.” Mr. Perkins of Kansas remarked connection, “We all love misery.” A that e was going to vote for the pending bill because the members of the house from 1568 upto -the present time, fo the purpose of getting back here, had urg and encournged the people in their folly until they had come to stch a state of mind that something must be done or they would break the members up.

It would hold out the temptation to the secre tary of the treasury to make millions of dol- Lurs out of speculation in Wall street. The free coinage of silver would not appreciate silver bullion, but would depreciate gold bul- lion and bring the two metals to o parity. The government must cither issue fiat money or give uulimited use to gold and silver, Mr. Kerr of Iowa advocated the bill as a long step in the right direction. 1t would re- sult in the demonctization of silver and in the two metals ultimately going hand in hand.

A new conference was ordered ndent pension bill The silver bill was taken up and Mr, Plumb addressed the senate He eved it was all but the v nimous opinion of the p plo that a very considerable increase in the volume of the currency was necessary. The cireulation today was £200,000,000 less than the framers of the financial legislation of 15 un. ticiputed, although the commercial business of the country had doubled. The total amount of ey the people of the United States had for th transaction of daily business would not exceed 40,000,000, Fe believed it was less than #500,000,000, and upon that bad been built an ¢ r mous structure of credit, propped here and there by devices of various kinds, and it kept swelling and growing while the base ou which it rested did row (u proportion to the structure. The senator from New York (Hiscock) had yesterday described the great river on the de [ v | telegr wealth and prosperity of the country, but if the picturo was true why was it the senator and his committeo (the finance committee) were piling up protective dutiesi His (Plumb's) idea was that not not only should bank cireula- tion be made up, but there ought to be added to that at least as much as would result from the free coinago of silver. He was willing to abandon his idea of fiat money and to widen the base of the credit structuro | by adding to it all the silver that the United States could turn out. According to the b data there was less than £00,000,000 worth of silver mined every year in the United States Of that some &0,000,000 was coined, $5,000,000 was used in the arts and only £17,000,000 could be used in free coinage. It was to be remem- bered that the national bank cireulation was being retired, the amount to be retired this year being £15,000,000, Mr, Plumb went on to_speak of silver in conncetion with the question of protection.

Shepard of the New York Muil and Express, in an interviewy, this afternoon said: “Had Grover Cleveland been ve-elected ho would have carvied out @ secret compact with the south that would eventually have plunged this country into ane other war. That compact was to the effect that should he be ted the south would be the object of his cherished attention and lavish bounty, and nothing that the southern brigadiers might ask for would he refuses You know, in the south there is the dangers ous ruling white class, and when. the rulin white cluss saw that under a republican rul all classes would be given a fifr show they naturally desived @ perpetuation of the democratic rule. This Cleveland well knew. He said to them: *You nominate me; we will say nothing about southern affairs now and I will catch enough free trade northern votes, which, added to yours, will elect me. Once ele what you ask for you will regeive.’ And once re-clected whit would he have donet Why, he would have divided Texas into four states, which would have given him six more clectoral votes; then of New Mexico he expected to make a state, in which there is so much ignorance and’ so mwany peons that he would have secured two more votes—that's eight. Then he had o birgain with those miserable itures of Utah, the members of the Mors mon bieravchy, by which thoy were to cast thelr strength ' for him and o would make Utah, a state which, being controlled by them, would enable them to muke legal every kind of marriage they desived, and by that Cloves land would have gained two more votes, which make ten. Then from Montuana he ex- pected two votes, because he felt that, with o demoeratic administration in Waslingtony Montana would go democratic, and T guess ha was right, for as it was the result was a very narrow for republicanss And with those would have had twelve estra votes in thg clectoral college, These, with the soli south, would have made him practically ine dependent of the north and he could have rury s as he chose, But you may bo suré that the war was not foukht for any tems y issue.
