THE PITTSBtJIte DISPATCH WEDNESDAY",. JULY 6; 189a ) A BliRHiNG OUESTiOR, Tie-Free Silver Coinage dues- tion Far Worse Than Banpo's Gliost: 'IT WILL NOT BE DOWNED. Another Long Day of Filibustering in the House rrevants A' TEST VOTE ON THE SUBJECT. Hie Third Fartr Natform Stronger Than Its Candidates. EADICALS OTERREACH THEMSELVES JSTECIiL TELEGRAPHIC LETTER, J BrnxAU or The Disr-ATOH, Wabhihotox. D. C. July 5. I The question whether a tree silver bill will be passed by this Congress is again a burning one, and quite as much in doubt as it was two months ago, when the great bat tle occurred which engendered no end of bad blood between the two factions of the Democratic party in the House. That body ndiourned earlv to-day, alter filibustering by the anti-free silver people, bnt it is si Lost certain that, if the councils of this ivening prevail, the opponents of the bill jrill permit the measure to go to its legiti mate committee to-morrow, without further 'obstruction, and mrke their fight on it vhen it is reported, first to prevent the re ftiort of a special order, and then against the bill itself, if a special order be reported and adopted. Whatever the outcome may be, it will only be after a battle the parallel of which has not been yet witnissed in this Congress. Two great factors enter into the fight now which were not present when the Bland bill was defeated, some time ago, by the per sistent filibustering of Tracey and Fitch, ot Jfew York; Williams, of Massachusett; Eaynor, of Maryland, and Harter, of Ohio, aided by all but about a half dozen Re publicans. Bland Not at All Dispirited. Mr. Bland said to me this afternoon that he has not at any time despaired of the passage of a free silver bill ot some kind at ttiis session. He believes that public senti ment has been so thoroughly aroused on the subject, and even in the eastern States, that defeat is impossible except by a Presi dental veto, which would result in the loss to the Republicans of several western Re publican States. The argument is that the Democrats can lose nothing by passing a silver bill, while the Republicans are sure to lose a great deal by the veto of free coin age by a Republican President Aside from all these considerations, a stumbline block in the way is the divided opinion of free coinage leaders in regard to the effect of the Stewart bilL Mr. Bland's opinion that it will have to be amended to prevent the demonetization ot nearly 1,000,000 of bullion certificates' whoe re demption is provided for only in bullion, has" great weight, and it is almost certain list this opinion will prevail, and that the ", if'jassed by the House, will be in an endesr; form. This will impose, -ticallj another contest in the Senate, Senator offerees unfavorable to the would undoubtedly be appointed. The coinage sentiment in the Senate is, jwever, almost unquestionably strong nough to fight down all opposition and delay. Antl-Frc Coinage Snntors Out or It. The anti-free coinage Senators have lost their grip. Gorman, after playing fast and loose with the question in the interests of his Presidental ambition, attempted to pre vent a vote on the Stewart bill, and defeat it if voted upon, but was able to control only his own vote and tnat ot nis colleague. Senator Gibson, who absented himself, after avowing his friendliness for the bills, and permitted Gorman to pair him against it Conceding the passage of a free coinage measure by the House and Senate, the ac tion of the President, that somewhat anom alous court ot last resort in a republican government, becomes the chief point of in terest Senators Stewart and Teller and other Republican free coinage advocates say that Mr. Harrison will not dare to veto sa'ch a bill if it passes Congress, as so blind and bigoted an antagonism to the voice of the popular representatives of the people would certainly lose to him every Repub - Jican silver State. They say that he can easily and logically sign such a bill, at the ame time giving expression to his adverse opinions, but also paying respect to the voice of Congress and to a vast mass of the people of the country. Consistency of the President. In this they are probably counting too much upon Mr. Harrison's devotion to "practical politics." The President has usuallv been consistent to the extent of sheer obstinacy in his adherence to his own convictions, and will be almost certain to veto a bill passed only by a preponderance of Democratic votes in both Honse and Senate. However, it will place the Presi dent in a very annoying position should the free coinage bill pass, as he will have to look in the face an almost certain loss of several ot the lesser Republican States of the West possibly, in the aggregate, suffi cient to counteract success in the almost forlorn hope of carrying New York. It is a condition of things really dramatic, and one which leads President Harrison to urge upon his friends in the House and Senate to strain every never to prevent a free coinage bill from reaching the White House. Generally speaking, both Republicans and Democrats here, in and out of Congress. profess to be mightily pleased bv the nomination of Wearer for President Sy the People's party. They say that Weaver has been so long and so well known as a "crank" in Congress and in politics that the nomina tion weakens the "movement" tremendously at the outset. A few, however, in both parties do not minimize the influence of the work of the Omaha Convention. The Platform the Best or It. Mr. Bland, though a thorough Democrat, said to me to-day that the platform of the convention, while it goes so far in advance of the utterance of any former organization (except the Socialist, which has been too obscure to be counted), is the result of the operation of influences which hare been at work tor long years, and is the first formi dable advance made beyond the old party shibboleths that has been made since the Free Soil party took the infant step that led to the abolition of slavery. The truth is, the platform goes almost as far as that of the great State Socialist party of Germany, which numbers full 2,000,000 voters, and at this time has a larger repre sentation in the Reichstag than any other of the several parties in German politics. That a convention largely composed of representatives of the larraer clement, which is usually the last to be caught by new and revolutionary ideas, should sub scribe to the acquisition of all the means of transportation and communication by the people themselves, is thought by the con servatives of the old parties to be a most alarming and revolutionary step. Senator Sherman said to-day that the platform was a declaration against the vest ed Interests which demanded the most teri ous attention from all who objected to ex periments which were coined In the fancy ol men whose emotions had been aroused bv either the spur of personal ambition or by brooding over real or imaginative abuse which must be corrected; If real, by the wis dom of time and growth of understanding under the present system, which is the product orhundreds of years of the bes thought of the world. A Kevu'slon or Feeltnr'Kxpectrd. Such men as" Senator' Sherman believe that the People's party, which is composed of all the malcontents who have been' massing their' forces under various names and organizations for the last 20 years, have overreached themselves in their "startlingly radical platform, anfc" that a revulsion of feeling among the thoughtful people of their own party will leave the organization to the fate of similar new movements of the past which have sprang np in a night, only to wither in the broad sunlight of the day. Of course the Alliance and labor people are jubilant They believe the Omaha Convention has inaugurated a movement tEat will soon sweeD the countrv. Ther not only lay great stress1 on th'e planks which provide for the acquirement of rail roads and telegraphs and telephones by the'' people, but they place enthusiastic faith in the provisions for postal savings-banks and loans by the Government at 2 per cent as propositions which will catch the minds of the simplest voters and bring hundreds of thousands to the snpport of the party. They, really count seriously on capturing so many electors as to enable" them, with their plain declaration for free coinage to back their other other propositions, to cam so manv electors as to throw the election into" the House, and then force through their candidate, as against the known anti-free silver candidates, Harrison and Cleveland. Whatever mav be the outcome, it is frankly admitted bv members of the old parties that within 40 years no new party organization has started in this country having the eclat and enthusiasm of the People's party, and that it is not to be sneered at or ignored. LlGHTXEK. LYNCHED AT MIDNIGHT. Two Xotorlontf Robbers and Mnrdrrrrs Taken From J. ill and HHncrd A Form or Trlnl Gone Thron;h The Conrt Hoas. Yicksbuko, Miss., July 5. Special County Jail was stormed to-night by a large body of determined citizens, over 600 strong, and two of the negroes confined there, charged with the murder of Benson Blake and with complicity in many rob beries, were taken out and hanged. These were Smith Tooley and John L. Adams, both notorious men, and against whom positive evidence exists as to the robberies. The Warren Light Artillery had been ordered out by the Governor, and their Gatling gun was in the jail yard, which is enclosed by a brick wall 20 feet high, but it was useless to expect them to fire upon their relatives and friends, and this evening only their first lieutenant reported for duty. Hence the sheriff was powerless to resist The crowd began assembling early, but it was 11 o'clock before the attack was made. A huge pole was used as a ram on the gate, and in about 15 minutes it gave way and the crowd rushed in. Ladden had also been used to scale the walls. Tooley fought like a tiger, bnt was soon overpowered and taken outside. Adams was brought out later and both were questioned, at first separately. After ward Tooley was taken to the court house and into the cir cuit court room, where the examination continued after midnight Adams being taken there also before that time. Their examination was conducted in form, and a secretary took their statements until it became evident that they were playing for time, and the oft-repeated cry, "hang them," arose. There was "a rush dpwn the stairs, and Tooley was brought out and strung up to a tree in the yard. He begged for mercy as well as he could, the noose be ing around his neck. He had scarcely ceased to struggle when Adams, so cool that he was even defiant, was taken to a tree and was soon dangling from a limb. Cries were then" heard that another pris oner also implicated in the same .crime should be hanged, but the crowd thundered "No" and soon afterward began to disperse, leaving the two bodies suspended. It was a carefully planned affair, and while there was mnch shouting and yelling, the men who actually did the work were not excited and had little to say and nothing to shoot. MATBIM0HIAL IHFIICIIY. It Besults In the Fatal VTonndln: of a Wife's landlady. HUBOif, S. D., July 5. N. R, Thompson was brought here this morning from Ar lington, Kingsbury county, and placed in jail on the charge of attempting to kill his wife and Mrs. Blight, with whom his wife boarded. Thompson and his wife quarreled some months ago. He was arrested and put in jail here for a number of weeks charged withbrutal treatment of his wife. He had a trial and was acquitted. His wife then sued for a divorce, which was granted, to gether with a share of the property. Yesterday Thompson left the farm and went to Arlington to induce his wife to go home with him. Being refused he drew a butcher knife and struck her across the abdomen. Her corset prevented the blade from making a deep gash. He then turned on Mrs. Blight, cutting her across the bowels so her intestines protruded. Parties in the house caught him while attempting to take his own life with the same knife. Mrs. Thompson will recover but Mrs. Blight will die. Thompson says he took half a dollars worth of opium with suicidal intent, but without effect He says he is crazy and will kill himself as soon as pos sible. KOBE BICYCLING BECOBD8 BE0KEN.

CAUCASUS CHOLERA The Authorities Are Incapable Coping With the Disease. of THE- HOSPITALS ARE INADEQUATE To Care for the- Hundreds- of Patients Applvinjr for Treatment? ITiAGUE-BTEICKEN TOWNS IS RUSSIA St. PETEBSBUEb, July 5. Reports from Elizabethport and other cholera infected towns in the Caucasus all testify to the in capacity of the authorities to cope with the situation and to the filthy condition of the towns. The food used by the inhabitants is described as injurious, while the non-existence of any system of drainage is deplored. Saratoff is apparently the only threatened Russian town where efficient and energetic preventive measures have been taken. The risk of contagion" in Astrakhan is greatly increased by the inhabitants eating putrid fish, which constitute their habitual food. It is rumored that cholera has ap peared in Romanoff, and the medical de partment has received disquieting news from Rvbinslc The Russian Steam Navi gation Company and the Austrian Lloyds have withdrawn their steamers which have been plying on the Batoum route on account of the cholera epidemic. Only four doctors at Baku have volun teered to attend the patients in the cholera hospitals. The other doctors only assist in the work when they are compelled to give their services by the vfry strict orders to that effect which the Government has issued. Hospitals Entlr-ly Inadf qnate. The hospitals In Baku are entirely inade quate for the heavy demands which are be ing made on them, and medicines and dis infectants are only to be obtained by the payment of exorbitant prices. The munici pal authorities have commenced the work of disinfecting the streets of the town by sprinkling large quantities of petroleum in each thoroughfare. The inhabitants ot Baku complain that a temporary hospital for the reception of cholera patients has been erected in the most populous district of the town. Officials of the Trans-Caucasian Rail way have decided to construct temporary hospitals at seven of the stations between Baku and Tiflis. Pending the construc tion of these hospitals patients will be lodged in disused railway carriages. Nobody from the cholera-infected dis tricts is allowed to approach any trains, and the Russian frontier has been closed against all Persian goods coming by way of Onznmundi, with the exception of cot ton, which has been subjected to a month's quarantine. All Persian travelers are also compelled to undergo quarantine for the same length of time. The Tiflis police have received the strictest orders to closely watch all arrivals from the suspected dis tricts. Hot Beds of the Inspection. Official advices from Saratov, capital of the Russian Government of that name, state that in the post two days 20 new cases ot cholera have been reported there and that in the same time eight deaths from the dis ease have occurred. Only one of the per sons attacked by the cholera had been known to have had any commnnication with places where the disease existed or with persons suffering from it The dis ease Is spreading at Astrakhan. On Sunday there were 19 cases in the town and 45 in the roadstead. Advices' from Paris say fresh deaths from cholera have occurred in the suburbs. Dr. German See describes the condition of the barracks ot Paris as scandalous. He says they are perfect hotbeda of infection, and that some of them have not been cleaned, whitewashed or repaired for a cen tury. Dr. .froiist, in a report to toe .Hoard of Public Health on cholera in the Caucasus, says the greatest vigilance is necessary to prevent the epidemic following the course the disease took in 1831 and 1647. The St Petersburg correspondent of the London 7ime$ says: Cholera appears to be advancing toward Moscow. It is privately reported that the disease has appeared oh the other side of the Volga, in Samara. The mortality is increasing in Baku and its suburbs. MOB BTJXE IN SPAIJT.

A mob which col lected in this city yesterday, demanded that the Mayor shonld liberate the persons ar rested for rioting on Saturday,on account of the imposition of new taxes ou retailers, or try them forthwith. The Mayor refusing to accede to their demands in any way some of the rioters stormed the barracks,attempt ingto prevent the exit of the civil guards, while others stormed the residences of va rious municipal officials and even threat ened to set fire to them. Troops were sent from Logron to quell the riots. During the day the Mayor resigned his office. To-day a riotous mob attempted to force the prison at Calahorra in Old Castle, with the object of rescuing the convicts there. The prison authorities and several regi ments of cavalry and infantry were ordered to the prison. Martial law has been pro claimed in the town. The mob when it reached the prison demanded the release of the men who had been imprisoned for riot ing. When their demand was refused some of the rioters beset the barracks to prevent the guard coming out, while others stoned and threatened to burn the houses of the municipal councilors. The troops that were sent for came from Logron, the capi tal of the nrorince, Soon quelled the riot ing. Before they arrived, however, the houses of three of the municipal councillors were burned, as was also a building devoted to the use of officials. BIOTIHG IN BHAZIL.

A meeting of Italians was held in Sao Paulo'yesterday evening to protest against the recent action ot the police of Santos in maltreating some Italian sailors at that place. At the con clusion of the proceedings' the Italians paraded through the streets, uttering wild shouts and cries, and loudly defying the authorities. They tore down a Brazilian flag and otherwise acted in a riotous man ner. " The police, even ith the aid of the citi zens, could not overcome the rioters, who fought savagely. Several persons on both sides were killed and a large number wonnded, many of them seriously. The citizens sought satisfaction by resorting to retaliatory measure ;. A large and greatly excited crowd ot Brazilians made an at tack on an Italian restaurant and also on the officers of the Italian journal Homo. They stormed these places with angry shouts, and; after prtting the occupants to flight, proceeded to wreck the buildings and everything which they contained. GUILLOTINED FOB STEALING.

B0BUFS HUERDS VEXED.' They Think thst His' IJttlo A ffilf Should Not Have Been Made Public. London, July 5. The Timet corres pondent at Paris says: "Some American friends here are vexed at my silence in the Borup affair, but it is difficult to form a decided opinion on the subject and any out sider intervening in snob's delicate affair is liable to displease all parties. 'A diplomat of the highest standing told me he wonld not like to have done such a thing. Captain Borup, however,, was entitled, even bound to obtain documents for the' benefit of his own country and government, but'he would be culpable if the documents fell into the hands' of another government Thus, in the light of strict duty he could purchase secret documents, even knowing them to be stolen. A case similar to that ot Captain Borup is spoken ot as having occurred at St Peters burg. In that case the attache was recalled by his Government but' was afterward pro moted." The Post says Captain Borup and his friends are irritated against: the French authorities for giving publicity to the affair before the y ascertained preeiseljrhow mat ters stood, thus exposing topublic odium not merely the Honor ot an American sol dier, but" the honor ot the American nation. They are still more annoyed by the action of Mr. Coolidge, the American Minister, which seemed to confirm the French sus picions and the attacks of the press. They urgue that the accusation took Minister Coolidge, who had only been athis new post a few days, by surprise and that the hai te he showed in'arriving at a decision was due to his inexperience of men and things in France. BTJICHEB BUSH0FF ON TBIAL. Nearly a Hundred Wltnrsjei Summoned fir the Prosecution. Berlix, July 5. The trial of the Jew ish butcher Bushoff, charged with the murder, at Xanten, in Jane, 1891, of a Christian boy named Hegmann, has opened at Cleves. There are 99 witnesses for the prosecution, but only 18 for the defense. Buschoff pleaded not guilty and the president of the court pointed out to the jury that the sole motive for the crime mentioned in the indictment was the desire of the accused for revenge because of damage done to Hebrew gravestones. The case has aroused much bitter feeling. Young Hogmann's mutilated body was found in a stable, and the discovery caused intense excitement Buschoff was sus pected of the crime by certain zealous anli Semetics, who declared that he had mur dered the boy in order tlmt his brood might be used in the observ ance of Hebrew rites. Buschoff was ar rested months ago for the murder ot Heg mann, but was subsequently released, owing to lack oi evidence. Anti-Semitic agitation increased, however, to such a degree that the authorities finally had Buschofl rear rested. BISMAECK'S SENSATION. When He Takes II in Srat In the Reiebstag He Will Say romethlng More. BebIiIN, Jnly 5. The Hamburger Nam richlen, organ of Prince Bismarck, has caused a sensation with an article headed "The Opinion of Prince Bismarck," which was written in reply to the recent threatening article in the Xarth Qcrman Qazette, the or gan of the government. The article in the Hamburger NachricMcn says that Prince Bis marck regards the comments as ridicalous and will not ascribe them to Ministerial inspiration. Continuing, the article says: If the ministers continue in their present patns, If the practical consequences of their measures make themselves felt by the country more than hitherto, they will be obliged to hear things or a very different nature from that of Prince Bisruaick's utterances in Vienna. When the Prince takes his seat in the Reichstag his criticisms will not be restricted to those limits. If voices are raised in Germany that carry felonious intent so far as to imply -the desire under certain circumstances to place the German policy and the German army at the 'service of the English, anyone uttering such a warning against such a course would naturally cause seilous vexation to upright Englishmen."

LEPE0SY A&0NG THE CHINESE Creed as a Season for rasilng Strict Re striction Lavs. OTTAWA, July 5. Special In Parlia ment, to-day, a bill was introduced to re strict Chinese immigration by further lim iting the number of Chinese that may land from each vessel arriving in Canada, and by discontinuing the certificates now issued by which Chinamen visiting their native country'are permitted to return to Canada. In moving the adoption of the bill Gordon, of British Columbia, drew attention to the outbreak af leprosy on the Pacific coast as one of the lanientable results of Chinese immigration. He contended that the class ot Chinamen who entered Canada were a enrse to the community. Chapleau, Minister of Customs, while in timating that the Government could not support the bill in its entirety, stated that the Chinese restriction act of 1885 might be so amended as to prevent thefraudulent is sues of Chinese certificates, as had been the practice with several firms in China, who were now reaping a good harvest out of the business of supply ing these bogus certificates to Chinamen emigrating to Canada, by which they were enabled to escape the payment of the ?50 per capita tax now imposed on all China men landing in the Dominion. The bill was allowed to stand. 6PBINGEB HAS A SCHEME. lie Would Have the Totes of Ohio, Penn sylvania nnd Other States Fused. Kansas Cur. July 5. Specia'. The Times to-morrow morning will print a letter from "William M, SpringeOof Illinois, ad dressed to the Democrats of Kansas, in which he urges the State Convention, which will meet to-morrow at Topeka, to indorse the electors oi the Peo ple's party, and thus take Kansas out of the Harrison column. He says if the Kansas Democrats will do so their example will be followed in Iowa, Minnessota, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and that thus the elec tion of Harrison will be rendered impossi ble at the very outset. The Democracy of Kansas would therefore have the credit ot electing Cleveland by throwing the elec tion of President to the House of Represent atives. Copies of the Times containing the letter will be placed in the hands of every dele gate at Topeka to-morrow morning before the convention meets. Stnslc Teachers in Session. CleveLanD, O., July S.

REVOLUTIONISTS- IN THE CONTROL Of" the Entire Atlantic Coast of the Little Warlike Republic. EARLY HOYElinfTS OP THE KETOLTERS fSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH".! New Oeleans. July 5. The missing American steamer, the Joseph P. Oteri, which was captured by theBevolutlonists in Honduras and used as a transporter man-of-war against the Government arrived at quarantine to-day. The vessel had not been heard of since June 25, and Mr. Oteri, the owner, telegraphed everywhere but could get no account of the whereabouts of his boat. The Oteri will be detained three days at quarantine. The officers of the vessel say that the en tire north or Atlantic coast of Honduras is under the control of the Revolutionists headed by Nuilo. The men at the head of the revolution are the best in the Republic, and have the sympathy and support ot the mercantile and wealthy classes. Nuilo has made himself very strong by refunding the taxes illegally wrung from tne merchants by his prede cessor, Munoz. and business is again going on as usual. The Oteri was seized at Cuba by the Bevolutionists on June 24, and on the 25th Truxillo was reached and captured with very little fighting. Troxillo's Commander Among- the Dead. One of the attacking party only was killed and several wounded. Munoz, the Commander in Chief of the Truxillo and the entire north coast, was shot down by the Bevolutionists, as was Portello, his Secre tary. It was intended to move on Ruatan Island from Truxillo, but this- movement was frustrated by the loss of the ship's boats and alter leaving a force to occupy Truxillo. Nuilo returned to Ceiba with 500 men. At Ceiba the commander ot the revolution ists determined to march at once on the Capital and not to attack Puerto Cortez, and the Oteri was released. He proceeded at once to Livingston, where the matter of the seizure was laid before the United States Consul, who at once entered a vigorous protest The officers of the Oteri Bay they were well treated by the revolutionists, but they were compelled to go under threat wherever the revolutionists ordered them. The revolntionists, 900 strong, were to march from Ceiba on the capital, Tegule gulpa, on June 29. Dr. J. L. Posey, medical officer of the Louisiana Board of Health, stationed at Ceiba, Honduras, in a letter dated June 25, gives the following particulars concerning the revolution headed by General Leonardo Nuila, which broke out at Ceiba on June 23. Particular of the Earlier Bfovoraentg. There was a fight, during which one guard was killed aud two wounded; one of the wounded subsequently died after hav ing his leg amputated. The insurgents took possession of the custom house, tele graph office, municipal offices and coast de fenses and captured and imprisoned many Government and municipal officials. Many officials who were not in sympathy with the revolutionists fled from the city. On June 24, 500 insurgents, under Gen eral Nuiln, seized the American bark Jos. Oteri, Jr., and proceeded with her to Truxillo for the purpose of capturing that town and exterminating General Munio's forces. These men were armed with im proved 'Winchester repeating rifles, swords, pistols and matchetes. The letter states that at that time there was every reason to believe that the revolution would be a general one. There were 20 dozen guns and 25 cases of cart ridges on board the Jos. Oteri, all of which were taken by the insurgents. CTEUS FIELD GB0WING WEAKER The Once Vigorons Man Now Weighs Only Eighty Ponnds. New York, July 5. Special Cyrus "W. Field grew steadily worse to-day. Members of the family said that with the passing of every hour he lost strength. He was in a state of coma all day except at short intervals, when he was able to recognize some of his relatives. His mind during these periods of consciousness seemed to be recalling past events, Earticnlarly those of 25 years ago. To allay is pains, his physicians administ ered anodynes. Not being able to take much nourishment Mr. Field has fallen away from his normal weight ol"150 pounds to only 80 pounds, and his doctors say he is now living chiefly on his vitality. The doctors called at Mr. Field's resi dence at 7 o'clock to-night and remained with him one hour. They said it was be yond their skill to tell how long he wonld live. He might last a few days, and might die within 21 hours. He was noticeably weaker. He was very restless and weak last night, but his pulse was stronger this morning. His son, Cyrns W. Field, Jr., remained at home all day, but left for New York on the 8:24 train to-night, to bs on hand here to-morrow morniug for an important business en gagement. As he was getting on the train he said he expected his father to live through the menu THE OLD LIBEETT BELL. It Will Make a Grand Patriotic March to the W orld's Fair. Chicago, July 5. Mr. George E. Tick ers, Chairman of the Philadelphia 'World's Fair Council Committee, who is here to make arrangements for the Pennsylvania display at the Fair, says that among the interesting historical relics to be sent from that State is the Liberty bell, which rang when the Declaration was proclaimed, and which is now in Independence Hall. A proposition has been made, and i likely to be carried out, to bring the bell out in the day time and make it the oc casion of a practical p&eant from Philadel phia to the Fair. The propos.il is to accom pany the old Liberty Bell with the bell that was rang at Valley Torge, when George "Washington entered' thct town with his army. A stop will be made at every town of 30,000 inhabitants, the "Valley Forge bell to be used as a herald to an nounce the coming of the Liberty bell. This will be a kind of patriotic grand march and will arouse enthusiasm among the people and give many an opportunity to see it who otherwise .might never have the chance. MILLIONS IK MUD.
