Warrington, Dec. 17.—Senator Tel-

osition which it has been stated will

gold men that silver is a mere coin
modity. If a duty of fifty cents per
Oiiice was pla<*ed on silver it would
not raise the price of silver a cent.
The price of silver is fixed abroad
where it is used. The only silver that :
is imported into this country is from
Mexico, from which this country makes
a profit in handling. That is all right
and there can be no objection to it.
The silver thus imported is shipped
out a^ain. The price of silver is fixed
by the countries which use it for
money and in the arts. We don't use
more than Si0,000,000in the arts.'
The hearings to be given by the
ways and means committee on the
tariff question promise to a. tract an
even greater number of business men
to Washington than usually gather
during a revision of the tp-iff. The
committee is already overwhelmed by
applications from representatives of
thr various interests who are anxious
to present arguments for incr asing
the rates. The Democratic members
of the committee intend to marshal
witnesses in rebuttal to advocate the
continuance of the Wilson bill. They
desire to have their side of the case in-
cluded in the printed record of the
hearings. It will be practically im-
possible for the committee to hear all
the applicants who want to present ar-
guments in the limited time assigned
to the subject. The committee expects
that those who appear will have their
arguments prepared in writing, to be
placed on file and printed.

of C'oniroerclal National Wreekern.
Denver, Colo., Dec. 17.—The testi
tnony given in the trial before .ludge
Hallett in the United States district
court of Charles II. Dow, president,
and Sidney K. McClurken, teller, of
the Commercial National bank and O.
| E. Miller of the Hernia Treatment
company, now of Chicago, charged
with misappropriation of funds of the
bank, has been sensational. From the
testimony of other officers of the bank
it has dev loped th it at the time it
was closed in 1893 Miller had over-
drawn his account 8125,000, and the
only security for which held by the
bank was his personal notes. Miller
had secured this large amount by kit-
, ing checks with the approval of Presi-
dent Dow. It has been shown that he
shipped large sums of money east by
, express from time to time.
Mr. Knot on Trial Again.
I Topkka, Kan., Dec. 17.—The Kev.
John I). Knox, at one time a rich
banker and influential citizen of To-
l eka. is on trial here before a board of
Methodist clergymen on account of
•harges of alleged crookedness grow-
ing out of his financial transactions in
the days of his prosperity. Mr. Knox
i has been tried on lik«- charges once or
! twice before and acquitted. If con-
: vlcted this time he will forfeit his
i ?hureh membership and his right to
preach, which he never has relin-
Hiished He is now a very poor man
j and recently, assisted by his daugh-
I ters, he has been giving a stereopticon
show in country towns.
Mteel Tool to Keaume.
Cleveland, Ohio. I>ec. 17.—An
agent of the Illinois Steel company, in
an interview in this city, stated that
the steel pool will soon be on its feet
again. The plan is then to make it
hot for the llellaire company, that dis-
rupted the p«h>1 by withdrawing and
cutting prices. The agent said that as
soon the pool was once more in
working order the members in the ter-
ritory of the llellaire company would
sell steel below cost, if necessary, to
freeic that concern out. the hisses
)>eing made good by the pool treasury.
Washington, Dec. 17.—The atten- !
tion of officials here has been attracted !
by the stories ooraing from all portions
of the country indicating that enlist-
ments are going on of parties of men
to go to Cuba to join the insurgents in
their struggle against the Spaniards.
These enlistments are in direct vio-
lation of the neutrality laws, and are
prohibited under severe penalties. For
accepting a commission to serve against
Spain, acountry with which the T.nited
States is now at peace, the penalty pre-
scribed by section 5281. revised stat-
utes, is 82,000 fine and three years'
imprisonment, while for enlisting
to serve against Spain or hiring
anyone to enlist, the penalty is almost
as heavy, being a maximum of 81,000
fine and three years' imprisonment.
The enforcement of these laws natur-
ally falls within the functions of the
United States courts, to whose knowl-
edge the attempt at infringement is
brought, but if the movement con-
tinues on as large a scale as reported
it is probable that the department of
justice will send instructi ns of a
special character to all of its agents
calling their attention to the procla-
mation i.ssued by the President last
spring, and enjoining upon them a
strict enforcement of the neutrality
laws.
LOUD BILL IN THE HOUSE.

Matter Atm.e*.
Waiiiiinuton. Dec. 17.—The house
yesterday entered upon the considera-
tion of the Loud hill to unicud the law

privilege: prohibits the return of un-
sold publications at the pound rates,
and makes soine other changes in the
present, law designed to correct exist-
ing abuses.
The opposition, led bv Mr. i^uigg of
New York, inaugurated a filibuster
and attempted to prevent its considera-
tion by adjourning, but the house
stood i>y Mr. I.oud in two votes, de-
feating the opposition. KI4 to 10.' and
141 to 83. The opposition, however,
ar* hopuful of defeating the measure
when it is put on its final passage.

Madrid, Dec. 17.—According to sur-
face indications, Captain tieneral Wey-
ler will soon be relieved of his com-
mand in Cuba. The discontent with
Weyler is noticeable, even in the gov-
ernment organs. They say that in-
stead of going to Havana to receive an
unmerited ovation, he ought to have
continued the military operations in
the province of I'inar del Rio.
A bad impression has also It*en cre-
ated here by the dispatches of the
Spanish correspondents at Havana,
announcing that tieneral Wcvler lias
suppressed all dispatches referring to
the ovations in Spain inhonorof .Major
Cirujeda It is supposed the captain
generals action was due to jealousy,
and it is currently reported that the
government is disposed to replace
Weyler by tleneral Marin, now gov-
ernor of I'orto Rico.
licncral Marin lias seen considerable
military service in the cause of >pain,
having participated in the Inst < uhan
war. At that time he hail for adversa-
ries on the insurgent hide some of the
men who figure prominently in that
service to-day.

A Duty on Hilver.
Washinoton. Dec. 17.—Silver is to
be given recognition in the new tariff
bill by the imposition of a duty e<(unl
to the discount in the price of the
bullion: that is to say. if the average
price of silver for a month ba sixty-five
cents |>er ounce, the duty will be thir-
ty-five cents. The scale will be elas-
tic and the rate will depend entirely
upon the market price of the bullion.
It is estimated that by putting thl*
protective tax on silver the bullion
value of the American metal would be
raised from ten to twenty points.
