FROM WASHINGTON.
The Silver Question Far From
Settled.
Washington, July 11.—The si 1
ver question is far from settled.
Without reference to what this or
that programme may be, there is
on both sides a feeling of uneasi-
ness. The silver men cannot
rely o.i their strength. For in-
stance. when certain men are ap-
proached they state they are for
the bill and yet state that the mat-
ter ought not to be agitated at
this time. Out of the whole num-
ber of men who are for the meas-
ure, there is reason to believe
that two or three of them may re
fuse to vote for the bill. The last
test vote whs so close that any
change will defeat the measure
and the anti-silver men declare
tha. there have been changes, in
tact have gone so far as to desig-
nate one or two states, but do not
give names. I very much doubt
if anybody on either side knows
anything definitely or will know
anything definitely until after
Wednesday or Thursday. These
are the days when the matter will
come up. The rule will be asked
for either giving the house the
right to make a clothure by a ma
jority vote or a clothure direct
from the committee on rules will
be asked for.
There is a growing idea that in
spite of the report of the com
mittee on coinage, weights and
measures recommending the pass-
ing of the bill without amend-
ment that still the bill ought to be
amended. That it is faulty the
lawyers all admit, and being
faulty it gives Harrison a chance
to veto and make a capital on the
measure. On the fate of the bill
in a great measure depends the
early adjournment of congress.
If the hill passes congress will
naturally remain iu session until
it can see what Harrison intends
to do. If it should be sidetrack-
ed or defeated, then there is no
reason why congress should not
quit by August 1 at the very lat-
! est.
There are the most radical dif-
ferences in regard to the effect of
| the measure in the east if it
j should pass. I saw a letter from
one of ihe most prominent demo
| cratic leaders iu New York todaj
j a man whose name is national but
| which 1 am uot at liberty to men-
I tion, who states that the passage
of that bill will lose that state to
[ the democrats. The letter was a
private one and therefore not in-
tended for political effect.

culherson s winning opinion.
Washington, July 11.—The con-
ference of the free coinage men
tonight resulted in just what 1
supposed—that is, it was agreed
unanimously to amend the bill so
that its effect should not destroy
the legal tender ol the coin notes.
This action deprives the republi-
cans of that great campaign
stroke of Mr. Harrison's intend-
ed veto.
The whole matter came a*>out
through Mr. Culberson. That
I gentleman, an ardent free coinage
| man. has opposed the.bill's incou-
' gruities. lie said at the start it
! was dangeronsls faulty. The com
! mittee on coinage, weights and
measures would uot take his ad
vice.
Tonight the free coinage men
met oud asked him for bis opin
ion and he gave it to thein in 8
way that has the whole town talk-
ing. Mr. Dockery of Missouri
said he knew that he was a good
lawyer, but he had no idea that
any nu»n in congress whs aide to
do what Culberson did tonight—
clearly explain a legal way to a
caucus or a conference opposed
to him until every member became
convinced ot his error and anani
mously agreed that he was right.
SENATE.
Washington, July 11 The two
principal questions before the
senate today were the house anti-
option bill a*id Mr. (Quay's amend
ment to the appropriation for the
Columbian exposition, making ii
dependent upon the closing of the
exposition on Sundays. On the
first question Mr. Washburn oc
copied the attention of the senate
for two hours with an argument
jin favor of the bill, which he
claimed was of interest to tbe
agriculturists, because the prices
of their products were unduh
lowered, not by the law of supply
and demand, bat by the operations
of short se.lers on the Chicago
boar 1 of trade. He did not make
any argument on tUe bill itself.
It was not before the 3enate for
action.
Mr. Quay's amendment requir-
ing the Colombian exposition to
close on Sundays provoked a dis-
cussion which lasted two hours
and a half. It was not finished
when ths senate adjourned. Mr.
Manderson thought some por-
tions of the exposition should be
open Sundays. He saw no ob-
jection to opening the grounds so
the people might gather there.
He saw no objection to the art
galleries being open so the people
might quietly go there and be in-
structed as well as interested by
gazing at the works of the great
masters. He would offer an
amendment, when in order, to
have the mechanical portion of
the exposition closed Sundays.
Palmer was against Quay's
amendment.
Cullom spoke in favor of delay
on the subject of closing on Sun-
days. He had just been informed
by the president of the world's
fair commission (ex Senator Pal-
mer of Michigan) that the com-
mission would meet in Chicago on
the 1st of October, and then the
pros and cons of the question
would be discussed and the mat-
ter determined.
Hawley argued in favor of
Quay's amendment.
Without action on the amend-
ment the senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Washington, July 11—There
was an appearance of the ap-
proaching final adjournment of
the house today. Members began
to crowd into the space in front
of the speaker's desk asking for
recognition, and when it was
granted, although there were spe-
cial objections made to various
measures, there was no general
objection made in the shape of a
demand for "regular order." This
desultory legislation continued
for an hour and a half. The con
ference report on the military
academy appropriation bill was
agreed to.
A bill passed appropriating $1,-
1 .">0,000 for the publication of the
eleventh census.
Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio present-
ed a disagreeing report on the
army appropriation bill. The
point of contention is the amend-
ment of the senate, striking out a
provision so that no money cau
be used for any transportation
over non bonded railroads con-
trolled by the Union Southern
Pacific roads. A further confer
ence was ordered and the house
adjourned
The views of the minority of
the coinage committee in opposi
tion to the senate free coinage
bill have been embodied in a re-
oort prepared by Representative
Stone ot Pennsylvania. The re-
port says the bill is a conglomer-
ation of crudities and absurdities,
clumsy in structure, iu part un-
certain of the interpretation and,
as a whole, dangerous and perni-
cious in operation and effect. It
then proceeds to point out the
defects of the bill from the auti
free coinage standpoint.

THE ENGLISH CAMPAIGN.
London, July 11.—The Stand-
says: ''If Gladstonians cannot be
prevented from returning to of
fice they may yet be prevented
from returning to power. Mr.
Gladstone's nominating majority
of thirty will be in as embarrass-
ed and hopeless a position as the
new cabinet could occupy. He
would not be able to maintain hit.
position in the house of commons
for a month. If he tried to palter
with promises to the Irish he
would at once lose eighty votes,
placing him in a minority of fifty
if the Irish abstained from voting
ind 150 if they voted against
nim. If he brought a home ih
bill, unless it contains everything
that Parnell demanded, the Par
nellites and anti-Paruellites would
immediately compete in ostenta
tions dissatisfaction with the
measure. If the bill conferred
upon the Irish parliament con-
'rolling power a number of his
English and Scotch adherents
would desert him."
Riots occurred at Newbridge
and Monmouthshire today. The
police dispersed the rioters.
Many persons were injnred, in-
cluding a policeman.
There is an air of contentment
and repose about liberal circles
tonight. Although not achieving
the success they anticipated, they
feel there is certainly a majority,
and the assured prospect of office-
holding, a pleasant influence after
last week's prolonged strain.
Gronps at the liberal national
club now discuss the constitution
of the Gladstone ministry. They
rather shun allusion to the per
plexity of the party with a small
majority composed of diverse ele
ments. It is taken for granted
that liberals will cohere on the
home rnle bill and tbe Irish sec-
tion will accept Gladstone's
scheme.
Homestead, Pa., Jnly 11.—The
white wings of peace are hover-
ing over Homestead tonight and
there is uot an unpleasant indica-
tion to mar the serenity of the
iron region. The militia is to be
received with open arms by the
mill workers and a special police
a hundred strong has been select-
ed from the ranks of the strikers
themselves to see that no indigni-
ty is offered the troops by any
hotheaded workingmen. The effi-
cacy of this policy was demon-
strated within half an hour after
the adjournment of the mass
meeting this afternoon by a
prompt escort to the lockup of an
intemperate striker who question-
ed the wisdom of receiving the
troops as friends and brothers
and killing the fatted calf in their
honor. The power of organiza-
tion was never better exemplified
than iu the graceful unanimity
with which the iron workers this
afternoon accepted the sugges
tion of the leaders and accept the
militia as friends and not foes.
To all but pessimists the con
elusion is that the terrible crisis
has passed and Homestead will
know hostilities no more as long
as the military of the state is on
the ground. Most people have
concluded that the Pinkertons
have salted their warlikt spirit
and are not likely to provoke fur-
ther bloodshed by attempting to
occupy the works. The strikers
regard the advent of troops as the
surest indication that the private
militia of capital will invade
Homestead no more, and much of
the success of today's meeting is
due to the belief that the state
militia is ordered to Homestead
as much to prevent the bloodshed
that another visit of Pinkertons
ould provoke as to quiet the
present disorder in the iron re-
gion.
The mass meeting this after-
noon was attended by 5000 peo-
ple. The meeting was called to
order by O'Donnell, who, after
stating that Burgess McLuckie
would preside, invited rtpresenta
tives of the press to the platform.
"They are the people," said he,
"who have created public spmpa
thy for us all over the United
States. They have been our
friends." The speech of Mc-
Luckie was a most significant
one He is one ot the most promi-
nent leaders of the strikers and
shares with Hugh O'Donnell his
great influence over the working-
men.
He said: "The object of the
meeting is to take suitable action
for the reception of friends, the
militia. The impression is abroad
that the military people are oan
gerons. This is a mistake, and in
order that the dignity and honor
they so nobly and faithfully repre
sent shall not be insulted we
have c.oine here to take whatever
action we may deem feasible to
prevent that calamity. We want
to arrange for the reception of
the military of another kind,
j Laughter ) We want every man,
woman and child in this town to
welcome the military people with
open arms because just as true as
I stand here, I pledge you that in
my judgment this is one of the
best steps that could have possi-
bly have been taken for onr
people. In calling ont the mili
tary I think Gov. Patlison has
acted wisely and judiciously. He
understands the position, so doeB
the entire civilized world. Rob-
ert E. Pattison will never permit
»n outrage perpetrated upon our
people such as the people of
Homestead and this surrounding
community. [Great applause.]
"The governar knows the Pink
ertons are mobilizing again. It is
the most desperate blow ever
struck at tve Pinkertons since the
organization of that institution
[Applause] And very soon w
will give them another. He does
not want us slaughtered or give
us further injury from that illegal,
unlawful, dirty, sneaking iustitn
tion. [Laughter] And so youi
friends are about to come here,
the safest people you couid pos
sibly be in with. \'ou know you
do not want Frick or his horde,
neither do yon want Bob Pinker
ton or his horde. The niilitarv
are here to demand that which is
aight, to defend the seal and con-
stitution and people and laws
[Cheers.] I am here to ask the
citizens to receive your friends
with open arms and tender them
one of the graudest receptions
ever tendered any people."
After all these arrangements,
consummated by a unanimous
vote, short speeches from nearly
all the popular leaders were made.
Every band in the city volunteer-
ed its services to meet tbe militia,
wbicb was accepted and the meet-
ing adjourned.

SOME COOKE COUNTY FACTS. j
It was created in 1848 ont of
F*nnin county, and was named in
honor of William G. Cooke.
It is almost exclusively a farm-
ing country, but is well situated
for stock raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run
ning through it, on which can be
fonnd excellent timber and water.
Red River borders the couuty
for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 9.33
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
The assessed value of property
in 1890 was 17,160,659.
Improved lands sell from $10 to
#40 an acre.
Unimproved lands from $5 to
$15 per acre.
There were in 1890 14.699 hogs
In 1890 there were 36,091 acres
in cotton.
In 1890 here were 40,686 acres
in com.
In 1890 .here were 21,308 acres
in wheat.
In 1890 there were 608 acres in
sweet potatoes.
In 1890 there were 4062 acres in
millet.
Cooke county is well adapted
to raising peaches, apples and all
small fruits.
The people of the county ar«
comparatively free from debt and
are in a thriving condition com
pared with the population o'
most agricultural counties.
Two railroads run through the
center of tbe county. The M. K.
& T. runs through from east to
west and the Santa Fe from north
to south giving comunimcation
witb all tbe great cities of the
00 on tor
"SPARE
the advertisement
and SPOIL the
business."
This is the course adopted
during warm weather by
thousands whowould not en-
joy being informed that they
were anything but clear-
headed managers.
It is, however, a fact that
those nervy men who use
advertising space in abund-
ance during the summer
months secure business
which would not otherwise
be theirs.
TO SLEEP away all June,
July, August and Septem-
ber seems suicidal nonsense.
It may be the old—fashion-
ed method, but business
certainly should not be done
now on any such antiquated
basis. Live men are learn-
ing pretty fast that those
who advertise obtain the
trade, and those who desire
to secure trade all the year
round must advertise in the
summer as well as during
the balance of the year.
In 1889 the number of marriages
was 373 and the number of di-
vorces 28.
There are 86 public schools in
the county and in 1890 there were
4099 children of scholastic age
and 87 teacherse mployed. Aver-
age wages paid to male teachers
$42.50 per month; female teachers
$38.85.
This does not include the city
of Gainesville, which has charge of
her own public schools.
The state paid last year $16,396
on tuition besides what came
from the county fund and from
district taxes.
In 1890 there were 151 mort-
gages recorded, amounting to
f348.975.
There were in 1890 1857 farms
in the county.
There were in 1890 13,586
tiorses.
There were in 1890 39,240 cat-
tle.
