u u B1NGLEY BILL NO LAW Action of Republican Senator ial Caucus Means It. FOR INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM The Caucus Decided to Appoint a Com mitter to Formulate a I'lao liainilcra tioa Bill to Do Pamiril Soow !lver Senator Didn't AtUmi. Washington, D!c. 9. The action of the Republican senatorial caucus in re ferring the Diiifdey tariff bill to its Fteering committee and the circum Ktanctts nmler which this action was taken are ucceptetl, in the senate, as practi3illy the end of the agitation in the interest of this measure. The tie bate in the caucus developed that there were wide differences as to the advisa bility of attempting to pass the bill even anion? the KcpublicaiiH, and the opinion was expressed by some who were on the insitle that fully one-third f the Republican senators, not includ ing the absent sliver men. were antag onistic to the bill. Senators Dubois, Pettiprew, Mantle, Cannon, Squire and Teller were absent. Ajl of these, except Senator Teller, trVre in the city and could have at tended if they had been so disposed Senator Dubois resigued as caucus sec retary. Senators Carter. Wolcott. Michell. Phoup, Hansbrough. Cameron, Prit ch ard, Perkins and Clark, who heretofore have alwayioted for silver in the sen ate. were present. Senator Wilson (Wash.) was made secretary, while Senator Slioup was placed on the steering committee in the place vacated by his colleague Tins committee was also enlarged by the addition of the name of Senator Hans biough (N. U.). It was decided to push the immigra tion bill as a party measure. The caucus also decided for an inter national agreement on silver by agree ing to the following resolution intro duced by Senator Wolcott : Resolved, That a sMtlal committee of live mcmlicrs of this caucus lie appointed to recommend some plan whereby lrgisla lion may be hail at this session of congrt-ss looking to an international confiTciu with Irnding commercial nations of the world for the the promotion of bimetal lism. The silver senators say, without ex ceitioti. however, that in taking the position they have they do not mean to place themselves in the attitude of op IMiuents of a protective tariff policy, but rather that they desire to be in an inde pendent position where, they can ac cept or reject any tariff proposition pre scnted by their former party associates 0OSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT. Tha Annual Keport to I'mgrrn of Post mutcr iseneral Wilsou. WAsmxGTOs, Dec. 9. A vigorous protest agaitist the abnse of the ostai service is made in the annual report of 1'ost master (Jeneral Wilson. He quotes figures which show an excess of ex lieuditurcs over receipts of $S,l:i?.OSS for the past fiscal year, which, however, is a decrease in ieficiency of f 1,071). !IOi, us compared with the previous fiscal year. This satisfactory exhibit for the past year has been made possible, the postmaster general sets forth, by vigorous policy of bringing suits or pushing collection on bonds immediately lifter default. The total deficiency, even after omit ting the amount credited to the Pacific railroads, was fS.127.0vs8.41. which was a charge on the general treasury. There is no necessity for this annual deficit The deoartment is powerless to prevent it. but a few lines of amendment by congress to the postal laws will wipe it out and give in its place a steady surplus It has its chief source in thetransmis sion at second-class rates of a large and rapidly increasing volume of matter ncrer in the contemplation of the law which gives the nominal rate of 1 cent a pound on such matter, and assuredly outside of the policy of the law as to uewsnapcrs and periodicals. The proposed 1 cent letter rate he fays is impracticable, while the deficit since 1W5 has reached $!K).(XX).000 from 1 cent a poind postage, money earned by the Pacific railroads for catryiug mail and applied to their indebtedness to the government, overtime claims of lotterearrier and indebtedness of the xlertartment for teleirranh service. In some respects he says our postal service is the best in the world. He again recommends the consolida tion of small offices with the nearest money order offices. The results of rural free delivery ex periments are not yet known. Ho recommends fixity of tenure dnr ing efficiency and good behavior to tin throo assistant postmasters genera whoso work is entirely non-political. He recommends the placing under the civil service of as many postmasters as possible. OGMPTROU-ER ECKELS REPORT. So Give Information Concerning Na tional Hank. Washixotox. Dec. !.

Gomez's SonKilled In Battle. SPANISH GIVE EXPLICIT DETAILS. the Cuban Cpnrml Performed a Great .Military Feat Itefore Heath Crossed the Trorha and Was Gettintf Near Ha vana Ucjler Completely Outdone. Hv. Dec. 9. It is stated in most positive terms by the Spanish authori ties that Antonio Maceo. the great in surgent leader, has been killed in Ha vana province, after having affected the passage of fhe western t roc ha near Muriel. With the Cuban leader died the youth Francisco Gomez, sou of General Maximo Gomez. Most explicit details are given in the report of the Spanish commander. Major Cirujeda. who contested the passage of the trocha unsuccessfully on Dec. 4, (last Friday) with Maceo. and who sus tained another conflict Monday with the forces under the insurgent leader. Attnr the fight, tho Spanish troops made a recomiaisaiice of the ground previously held by the Cuban forces. The one body was thaty-f a mulatto, a stout man. with gray, crispy curling hair, and the. other, that of a slender, dark haired youth. Both men were dressed in white linen duc k suits. On the corpse of the elder was a tine undershirt with the initials "A. M." upon it. The pair of black silk socks on this liody contained the same initials- worked in red silk. There was a gold ring on the finger containing 011 the inner run the eugraved inscription "Antonio Y. Maria." It is stated that there was found on the bodv of the younger man a letter written in pencil, saying that he dies rather than abandon the corpse of hi- general, Maceo. WEYLER OUTGENERALED. lirurral Maceo Crns-eil Ihe Trmha anil tint Xnr Havana. Hava.vii, Dec. 9. It is now semi-ofii cially admitted that Antonio Maceo. the insurgent leader, passed the mili- tarv line of Puiar del Uio on Friday last, near Mariel. the port at its north eru extremity. He was accompanied by the sou of Maximo Gomez. There was much excitement here when it became generally known that Maceo hid crossed the military line with, it is understood, a strong force of insurgents, especially when coupled with the fighting between Spanish troops and insurgents clone to thu city. It seems evident that the insurgent commander has not only cleverly turned the flank of Captain General Weyler. but has succeeded in getting in his rear and crossing the famous military line near the jiort which has licen used as a base of supplies tor the Spanish troops in Piuar d-;l Kio. The importance of this movement cannot be exaggerated. The exact whereatmuts of General Weyler is licit known, but he is be lieved to be hunting for Maceo in the mountains iu the extreme eastern part of Pinar del Kio while the insurgent chief has seemingly doubled on his tracks, turnd the flank of the Spanish general and passed in his rear in the di rection of this city, crossing the mili tary line at will, and possibly being by this time iu the vicinity of the capital of Cuba. If Maximo Gomez has carried out the plan attributed to him, that of pushing westward to the support of Maceo, a junction ot the two mam bod ies of fhe insurgent forces may be ex pected shortly. Nothing appears to be known of the strength of the insurgent force with Antonio Maceo iu this province. In fact, it was not until the news was being passexl from iersoii to person in the streets that the authorities would give a half -hearted admission of fhe truth of the report that Maceo had crossed the military line. This was le lieved, will alter the whole situation and important events may occur within a short tune, there is no doubt that the insurgents have recently increased in number alout the capital. The stray bands of 20 or HO "bandits met by the Spanish troops have now swollen to the proportions of iusurgent forces as 20,001 to -lO.tKKI men. It seems to lie admitted and lielieved that Miu-eo will strike before Weyler can hurry back from Pinar del Uio. In deed, it is apparent ly current ly rcrxirted that the captain general has Im-cii wounded in an engagement, with the insurgents Iw-t'ore the latter crossed the military lino, and that he mav not, be able to return here, except as a prisoner of t he l ;u bans. The authorities, naturally, are doing all in their power to muumi.e the cross ing of the trocha by Maceo, and inti mate that he. is, as usual, according to the Spanish, running away from them. I'his does not ulte.r the fact that, he has i-scajM-il the hunter and that the hunter may find difficulty in getting home. The friends of the insurgents here are overjoyed at. the new turn taken in the campaign and are. Imasting that Maceo and Gomez will soon lie knock ing at the gates of Havana To this the Spanish officials simply say "wait and see, the time is not yet." But there is no denying that the sup porters of Spain here are looking much crestfallen and discouraged. Even a defeat at the hamls of the insurgents, it is admitted, would have lieen lietter than the humiliation which the Spanish troops have suffered in being so skill fully out mam i-uvred by the insurgents. EVIDENCE OF CONSPIRACY. Julian Says He Has It Fits Won't Fight In San Francisco. San Francisco. Dec. 9. Martin Julian states that he had evidence com plete which will prove that a conspiracy was planned and oiterated against Fitz simmons in the receut Fitzsimmons- Sharkey fight. Julian says that the parties to the conspiracy were Referee Earp. Oaunie Needham. Sharkey's trainer, and Dan Lynch, Sharkey's oai-Kcr. anu me national club. Julian says it is idle to talk of a con- ti-st liefore the Olympic club here be tween Corliett and Fitzsimmnns becausa clulis hi New York will offer larger purses ior a limited contest than uny club iu a smaller city. If an unlimited contest cannot be arranged Fitzsim moiis wants to fight for the largest available purse in a limited bout. MEXICAN DISAPPOINTMENT.

Place To the Umlness Men's La&u In I'olltie. Washino.on, Doc. 9. The attention of Senator Ouay having been called to the interview of Thomas Dolau, pub lished iu Philadelphia, he said : "My view.-, upon the connection be tween buiu -is and polities were men tioned in ;i speech, at a Republican meeting in Pittsburg a few days previ ous to the presidential election. "1 am opK.sed to the entire schemeof the National Business Men's Leagues as disclosed by Mr. Dolan. Its basic theory is that organized wealth shall dictate high office, and so take posession of he government. It will be met as stul bornlv and overthrown as disastrously as was Bryanism. Bryan invoked tlm masses against the classes. The pro moters of this league invoke a class auainst the masses and all other classes. No league of business men or other men based at.mii wealth or other foundation. can erect a government class in this country. In the United States senate we have millionaires and business men enough to serve all legitimate purimses. Senators are needed who have no spec ialties, but who will act for the inter ests of the country in gross without siiecial affinities. "the iieople most deserving ol a rep resentation and most in need of legis lative protection are the farmers, the small storekeepers, the artisans and the lalxirers. and 1 stand by them and against this sivcalled league. I go into the barricades with the bourgeois and the men in blouses. In conclusion. I do not believe that 10 per cent of the business men of the country sympathize with this league. There must le less business and more people iu our politics else the Republican party and the coun try will go to wreck. Ihe business issues are making our politics sordid and corrupt. The tremendous sums of money furnished by business men. re luctantly in most instances, are poluting the well spnugs of our national being. JOHNSTOWN BOY MISSING. Ills 1-urrola Think lie May Htra Started tor Cuba. Johnstown, Pa., Dec 9. J. Reno Watkins. son of Mr. and Mrs- B. F. Watkins, prominent citizeus of Park avenue, this city, left his home for school as usual on the morning of tho 22d of October last and nothing has been heard of him since by his anxious and sorrowing parents, who fear that he may have met with foul play. On the day iu question an acquaint ance of the missing lioy, who is almut 7 years old, saw him at the wharf in Pittsburg waiting, he t-aid, for a chanco to work his way down the river. Re peated inquiries in tho quarters where he would be most likely to go have re vealed nothing as to his subsequent movements. He was a very ambitious youth, more anxious to work than to go to school, and since the Cuban war has Ik-ch in progress followed it closely and often expressed to others a desire to joining the insurgents. They think that pet haps his intent may have been to eutf-i the Cuban army, but his parents think they would have heard from hint ou tho. way if he were living and well He is aliout fivo feet three inches high, weighs almut 140 ikiuihIs, with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Ho had a very small amount of money almut his person. If he is still alive and should come across this item, his parents request him to please return to his home or write to his much grieved mother as to his whereatmuts. Any information concerning him will be gladly received by his distressed parents at Johnstown. Pa. TERRIBLE MASSACKt BY SPANISH. A Number of Rebel Prisoner Killed In I'hillippine Islands.
