THe OMAHA DaILy BEE. FSTABLISHED JUNE 19, HAVE A HARD FIGHT ANEAD Yesterday's Developments in the Silver Agi- tation at Washinzton. SILVERITES READY TO MAKE CONCESSIONS They Wil Not Instst on a Ratio of 16 to 1, but Will Fight Repeal if Not in the Nature of a Com. promise. Wasmiyaroy, Aug. 0.—The developmen! of tod h not been such as to give promise of an carly discussion of the silver question in the two houses of congress. The democratic senators, after a caucus lasting soveral hours, found themselves absolutely unable to agree upon any line of action and finally adjourned until later in the day, the intention of the senate beiug to adjourn from tomorrow noon to Monday in order to give opportunity for the fullest informal discussion of the subject among the senators of both parties before entering upon legi lation. In the failure of the democratic senators to agree upon any party policy the advocates of the repeal of the Sherman law find no encouragement. Thoy say the finan- cial question has risen above the field of party politics and the crisis of the hour is not one that will down at the bidding of King Caucus, but must be met and solved by men whose statesmanship rises above purty cousiderations and partisan advantages. Leisurely, us it always 1s, the senate, w ith a membership of only one-fourth that of the house of representatives, will probably be behind the popular branch of government in meoting the issue, and will doubtless not reach o full and free discussiou of the silver question untila_repealing bill comes over from the house for consideration. Tho free coinage men of the house had a caucus and adopted a resolution which will be a revelation to the uitra free coinage men of tho west, but will prove a tower of strength to those who are fortifying them- selves aguinst an unconditional repeal of the Sherman purchasing act. The resolution adopted at the caucus is regarded a3 o mas- terly stroke on the part of the silver men, as it practically abandons the ratio of 16 to 1 and agrees to accept such a4 compromiso ratio as will maintain the parity between gold and silver. Tnis is interpreted to wean that the free coinage men will be willing to accept a ratio of 18 or 20 to 1 if a free coinage bill is passed as n substitute for the She man bill, and implics that most vigorous efforts will be made to nduce the radical silyer men of the far west to yicld to the judgment of the most comservative free ‘coinage men of the country. “he monometallists tonight realizo that the action of the free coinage caucus today will be likely to strengthen that element in the two _houses aud render unconditional repeal of the Sherman act more dificult. 1v anounts to an olive branch and comes at & time when not any one expected that such an offer of compronnse would be maae by the free coinage members. Thus, while the action of the democratic senutors in failing to agree upon a line of party policy has ent couraged the advocat:s of repeal, the unex tion of the free coinaze members of the houso in practically abandoning the satio of 16 1o 1 and offering to compromise on a new ratio, based on present values, has proven correspondingly discouraging, as it will deprive the repealing men of what was expeeted to be one of their strongest argu- ments in congress, that free coinaze meant the enriching of mine owners at the expense of the masses by fixing a fictitious value on & depreciatod metal. Laylog Their Heads Together. This is & day of caucuses. The house adjourned till Thursday to give the silver men full scope for cousulta- tion, The senate met and, without transacting any business. adjourned till to- morrow on motion of Mr. Gorman. The yeas and nays were demanded by Mr. Platt and resulted in a vote of 45 t 21, Nearly every democratic senator was pres entat the party caucus this moruing to de. cide, if possible, on pluns for party action relutive to the silver discussion. The mee g developed as wide a divergence of views as that between the wings of the party on free silver coinage, and when the time for the senate to assomble arrived nothing had been accomplished and adjournment was taken till after the senate adjourned for the day. The free silver democrats at once held conferences with the free silver republicans and the result was soon evident, for the latter voted with the democrats for the adjonrnment of the scnate without the transaction of busincss. Unproductive of Results, The afternoon calcus was almose as un- roductive of results as the morning session. Most of the time was consumed in the ex- pression of individual views which clearty demonstrated that each element in the party was firmly wedded o its own notions. - One oceupics a high position in the committee und whoso leaning to- ward freo silver is pronounced, declare positively: “You can sev down as a cortainty that the Shermun uct will not be repoaled unconditionally. On the other hand, some senators who have sided with the president, said rather despondently, that while no "tangible ad- vance had been made toward a pointwhore the paity could be united, they had not abandoned hope that the efforts in that divection might eventually result in suceess. Itis cathered from this that the condi- tional repeal proposition s gainin; strength, und that certain of the ult men are preparing to follow in the dir indicated by the leaders in the silver caucus in the house toduy, namely: Toward re- poal with free coinage at an increased ratio. It was rather a significant fact that the sil- ver men appeared to have less anxiety than their opponents about the result of the cau cus, as was ovidenced by their conduet while the senators were discussing the situ ation, o number of them leaving the room and going to the restuurant, where they calmly indulged in luncheon, apparently uu: concerned a8 to what was going on in the chamber above. tion Trying to Arrango u Plan. sither party in the senate ha able o caucus with complete suc subject of silver, and exception to the rule. ever heon 088 01 Lhe today's caucus was no So after exhausting the possibilities of ‘debate the caucus fell back upon the oft-tried expedient of dele Faling to & committoe the task of endeayor- fug to urrange a blan of business that shouid be satisfactory to all sides M.

WasHINGTON, Aug. 9.—The caucus of mem- bers of the house of representatives who | favor the free coinage of silver, which was called yesterday by Representative Bland, was held today in the house, iusting from noon until 8:80 p. m. At theclose if was ofticially announced that the following r lutions, offered by Mr. Boatner of Louisiana, bad been adopted by a unanimous vote: Resolved, That we will support a bill re- purch g clause of the Sherman act, nearrently providing for the free and unlimited coinnge of sliver with fall legal tender quality “h u ratio as will provide and maintain parity between gold and silver.

When the caucus met it was estimated that there were about forty members of the house in the hall, but during the time the caucus was 1 seseion about 100 members were admitted.

Aneffort will be made at the first oppor- tunity to secure, under u suspeusion of rules, legislation designed to succor bankers in the west who may be suffering disastrous ‘runs” from depositors. 1t measure directing the treasurer of the United States to have the various subtreasurers in the country transfer by telegraph from one section ot the country to another cash which may be doposited at the subtreasury for transfer. It hus been learned that a number of banks in the wost, some of which were located in the vicinity of Nebraska, could have been saved from suspension of business had they been able to have currency transferred by wire or rather orders for the currency from New York. Inanumber of instances banks have been forced to suspend withina fow hours of the arrival of ample funds by express, Under the proposed arrangement a N braska or Towa banker who could raise cash for deposit with the subtreasurer in New York Id have that office wire the sub- treasurer at Chicago or elsewhere to pay out to the order given a Like sum and the banker necding the cash would be saved the delay of expressage, which, in many instances, has been of sufficient time to allow depo itors to exhaust his availablo cash. Thero is no law to prohibit such transfers atpre: entybut,there is 1o appropriation with which the tredsurer of the United States can pay express charges when it becomes necessary to ship currency from Washington to make nup payments by subtreasuries west. Then, too, there is a disinclibation among treasury officials to impose the few extra clerical duties on themselves and the subtreasurcr iu New York. At present it impossible to transfer money from on tion of the country to another by telegraph in suflicient quantities to materially assist bauks in distress. The telegraph companics, feeling the scarcity of cash, refuse to transfer more than $1,000 on any oune day to any one person. Besides this the charges for such transfer amount to 1 per cent and the tele- graph tolls.

Colonel Boyd will not be asked to resign, but nis tenuve of oftice will be brought to an ead by the apointment of a successor. Tod: 3 Holdermar called on Secretary Gresham to explain why he made the Boyd letter public, but the sceretary declined 10 hear him, sta ing that ho-was wholly indifferent to the subject. Upto date there have been 6 sions of pensions which were gra the act of June 27, 18, the ave being 170 duily. A large portion of these cases, it 18 said, were suspended pending medical examination.

That is the question to be solved within the next thirty-six hours, and therc is no man in or out of Olilo who can predict the result with confident accuracy. Nearly half of the dele gates are unpledgea aud one-quarter of them ¢o not know tonight how they will vote. Neal has declared that he will abide by the Chicago platform and his followers are democrats of the unterrified stamp who.will sticle to nim ns long s there is a show of his nomination On the other hand, the Campbell men make no denial of the fact that they are with the administration and_they are out to beat Neal and beat him with any man who an be made available. Campbell will not be a candidate, and if “his namo goes before the convention by the act of some enthusi- astic follower it will bainstantly withdrawn. The leaders of the Campbell faction were in session this afternoch at the St. Nicho- Ins hotel cndeavoding to concentrate their strength upon , somo ididate to oppose Neal, The mesting showed that there “was « decided difference of opinion as to who would bost put Neal upon the shelf, but the opinion of the majority was strongly in favor of Charles W.

Hamilton people have no use for Grover Cleveland, they dislike him more than any man on carth and would have caused a solid vote for Neal whether they liked him or not, rather than for any cuu didate who comes of the administration, but now many of them are being swayed by local pridc and declare that a Hamilton county man must be supported by Hamilton county votes. 1t is certain that Baker will receive some of Hamilton county’s vote, though he may not get much of it. e S OFFICIAL CHOL:KA BULLETIN, ttealth Officor Jenkins of New York Makes @ Report.

Panis, Aug. 9. —[New York Herald Cable -Special to Tue J=Up to the present the electoral s appears to be golng on quiotly. yme hard knocks have been given, but they did not exceed the usual political bounds. In the last two days, however, everything has changed. We are beginning to have more insults and threats exchanged than ever. One quarrel had like to ended with a pistol shot, not as in & duel, but nsin a street corner fight, where the Marquis de Mores was declaring that he would pursue M. Clemenceau to the war to prevent his election, It is known that the quurrel originated in the Panama affair. The Marquis ae Mores had accused M. Clemenceau of being in the pay of England, ‘I'he accusation w merely based upon a political defense by M. Clemen- ceau in the Chamber of Deputies and in his paver. This was the cause of many scandals and of the forged v documents read in the Chamber by M. Millevoye. M. Clemenceau avtacked the Marquis de Mores upon two points. First, that the brother-in-law of the marquis was an ambassador to Germany and Madrid; and, second, that the Marquis de Mores was par excellenes the enemy of the Jews. In elaborating the second point it was stated that the marquis had formerly borrowed from Dr. Cornelius Her: De ores Tells His Version, To the first charge the Marquis do Mores replied that he had a sister-in-law married to a foreign diplomatist whoso patriotism had not been called in question. As to Dr. Herz, M. Ciemencean was right, but there are explanations, which latter will be ex- pected with much curiosity. The marquis said that in the spring of 1891 he lost n large sum of money at bac- at in the Circle de la Rue Royal. Bemng ibarrassed he had recourse to his political nd, M. Drumon®, who was unable to fur- nish him with fund. When he addressed himself to M. Andrieux, the former prefect of police, who was mixed up with everybody's trouble, M. Andrieux probably mentionca the matter to Dr. Herz, the rich Hebrew, who did not asi anything more than the pleasure of being able to oblige, and at the same time humiliato the anti- Semite. He offered to lend the money to the marquis, but asiced that M. Drumont should assist at the negotiations. The Marquis de Mores and M. Drumont were welcomed by Dr. Herz, who was desirous of the presence of the editor of La Libre Parole, having an eye to the future. The marquis does not deuy the facts and explained that his neces- sities were the cause. Some Oilers Who Are Sore. M. Drumont is very much aispleased at the vevelations made by the Marquis de Mores M. Roquefort is also drawn into the afair, and is accused of having more than 10,000 francs worth of objects d'art in his apartments. These are the facts.

The dewelers Protective union placed the case in the hands of tho Pinkerto agency, and for nine months they have been on his trail, The story of the capture is a curious one. Gilinan, twenty-five miles from Leadvillo, was the scene of several incendiary fir and a vigilante committee was appointed to patrol the town. Two weeks ago a mys- terious individual was discovered prowling about the Bank of Gilman, and was captured aftor desperate resistance, He had a full set of burglar's wols, tagether with giant powder aud caps. The committes would have hanged the man at once but wiser counsel prevailed. He was brought to the Leadville jail and employed able counsel to got Nim released ona writ of habeas corpus, The Pinkerton agency got wind of the capture and sent Detective Praser hiere to investigate. The prisoner was identified as McCoy, but as further identification was necessary Poltack was sent for and arrived just in time. He identi- fied tho man, who was known as Shirtelift, positively. The prosence of the detective and was kept very quict, but the prisoner’s coun- sel got wind of it and attempted to huve the petition for habeas corpus withdrawn so his man would not fall into the hands of the detectives. The judge decided that the court must pass on the matter and released Shirteliff on the ground that the complaint on which he was held was insufiicient This was just what the detective wanted, Armed with the proper papers, he took charge of Shirteliff, alias MeCoy, and toole him to Denver.

Then he turned the trick which finally landed hip in the hands of the oficer: The police were notificd last night from Leadville that the Pinkerton detectives there had arrested James Burke, whoso aliases aro “Kid” McCoy, “Kid" Burke and James Wilgon. The details of the chase for this bird forms a narrative of suflicient in- terest to form the basis of a hair-raising dime novel. Burke is the most oxpert win- dow smasher known to the craft.
