JipsaBf fj THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH; WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, ' 1891. HARRISON ON SILVER. The President Says He Is in Favor of Its Fall Use as a Coin iletal. t PLATING A POLITICAL TRUMP. A Significant Ttterance Shortly Before the National Convention. BOMB MORE ECONOMY IN 1HE HOUSE "WAsniKGTOjr, April 2a After some routine morning business, Mr. Coke to-day addressed the Senate in favor of the free coinage of silver, basing his remarks on Mr. Morgan's resolution on that subject. Mr. Daniel spoke on the same subject and on the same side of the question. At the close of Mr. Daniels' speech the army appropriation hill was taken up. Mr. Cockrell called for a separate vote on the amendment, striking out of the hiH the pro viso that no money shall be paid for the transportation of troops and army supplies over any of the non-bonded lines owned, controlled or operated by the Union Pacific Railway Company, or by the Southern Pa cific company over lines embraced in its Pa cific system. A lonj; debate ensued, but no action was taken. The Presiding officer, Mr. Manderson, then laid before the Senate a communica tion from the President Ju response to Mr. Teller's resolution as to the international conference on the silver question. In his message the President states that in his opinion it would not be compatible with the public interest to lay before it at this time the correspondence which he was re quested by its resolutiou of April 23 to iurnish concerning any steps taken toward securing an international conference to con sider the question of the free coinage or en larged use of silver. Harrison's Views on Silver. The President says that he will furnish the correspondence at the earliest moment after definite information can be properly given, and adds: It may not be Inappropriate, however, to say here that, believing that the full use of silver as a coin metal, upon an agreed ratio by the great commercial nations of tlie world, would very highly promote the pros perity of all their people, I have not, and will not, let any favorable opportunity pass -for tlic promotion of that most desiraWo result; or, it free international silver coinage is not presently attainable, then to secure the largest practicable use of that metal. The communication having been read, Mr. Teller remarked that the President raid in it that he "would let no opportunity pass" (in reeard to an international agree ment). What the friends of free silver complained of, Mr. Teller said, was that the United States Government had been ''wait ing" for an opportunity to come, whereas it was its duty to "make" the opportunity, and not wait till it came. Mr. Morgan said he desired to debate the communication before it went to.a commit tee. He asked that it be printed and laid on the table for the present, and it was so ordered, when the Senate adjourned. Diplomatic and Consular Economy. After three private bills were passed by the House to-day the regular order was de manded, and the Speaker stated the regular order to be the passage of the Walker ex punging resolution. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, aked unanimous consent that the House go into committee of the whole for the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. There was no objection, but Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana, gave notice that Monday next he would call up the river and harbor appropriation bill. The House then went into the com mittee of the whole, Mr. Oates in the chair, on the diplomatic and consular bilL Mr. Blount explained the provisions of the measure. It appropriated $1,584,925, beinc $72,000 less than the current law, and 553.541 less than the estimates. The re duction on missions was 525,000; on consuls, H f 04,000; in the Bureau of American liepub lics, 510,000. The number of missions has been reduced by placing Denmark, Sweden and Norway under one mission, Colombia and Ecuador under one mission, and Peru and Bolivia under one mission. After a long discussion, unanimous con sent was given that general debate on the bill should close after two hours' debate to morrow. The committee then rose, and, on motion of Mr. Geary, of California, the House agreed to the request ot the Senate for a conference on the amendments made by the Senate to the Chinese exclusion bill passed bv the House. Messrs. Geary, Chip man and Hitt were appointed conferees. The House then adjourned. INTEK-STATE AMENDMENTS Freparcd to Increase the Efficiency of the Ijjw and Remedy Defects. Washington, April 26. An elaborate and carefully drawn bill designed to remedy defects found in the working ot the inter State commerce law, and to increase the efficiency of the law, was to-day ordered favorably reported to the House by the Commerce Committee, which, through a sub-committee, has been working on the measure for some weeks past. The principal objects sought to be at tained in the bill, which is the measure as introduced by Representative Storer, of Ohio, with some amendments made in sub committee, are greater expedition and less circumlocution in bringing cases to an issue in the courts, and the removal of penalties on shippers who are parties to violations of the Inter-State commerce act, so as to meet the decision of the Uniled States Supreme Court in the Counselman case. Three Millions for a Boat Railway. "Washington, AprilSG. An amendment proposed to the river and harbor hill to-day by Senator Mitchell appropriates nearly $3,000,000 to construct a boat railway at the Dalles and Celilo Falls and Ten-Mile Rapids of the Columbia river, and the necessary marine apparatus for the 'purpose of trans ferring boats and their cargoes across the obstructions at those places. The appropria tion is to cover the whole cost of the pro posed improvement. THE FIRST IN'PITTSBDKG. Result of a 20-Tear Life Policy. The Equitable Lire Assurance Society has Just paid the flrst CO-year tontine policy that ever matured in Pittsburg. The assured is a pentleman well known In business and financial circles. Tnis form of assurance is the cheapest tontine assurance known, cost ing only 2J4 per cent per annum. The policy matured on April 1, and this is the result: The annual premium was $233 53 on a $10, 000 policy. Tlie total amount of premiums paid was $1,C70. It the assured had died dur ing the last 20 years his family would have received $10,000. As it is he has the choice or these modes or settlement: First, he can sell his policy to the company for $5,530 cash; or, second, he can get a paid-up policy of $11,690; or, third, he can contlnne his assur ance and draw out a cash surplus of $3,0C6 90. This is in addition to the protection his family have had for 20 years. It's not only Kood assurance, but a good investment as well is a tontine policy in the Equitable Life Assurance Society. .Edward A. Woods, Manager, 516 ilarket street, Pittsburg. Women Know How. "While I admit," said a man to a Dispatch reporter, "that a woman's moral nature Is better and purer than a man's, I think her processes of reasoning are entirely different from hl, for the ordinary man will reason that so long as it is cheap any flour is good enough, while the women insist on using tho famous Camellia and Bayard Amber of the Marshall-Kennedy Milling Co." They admit that they are among the high-priced flours, but also maintain that they are tho cheapest because they make more and bettor bread than any other.
