F RESIDENTIAL SlICCKSSION NEED FOB
PaOlll'T ACTION IN TUK UULSK.
Special Dispatch to the Baltunore Sun.
Wasuinuxon, Jan. 1U. Now that the
House is in trim for business, sentiment
is overwhelming that speedy action
should be had on the bill regulating the
buecessiou to the presidency, wnich was
scut to the House iruui the Senate be-,
loro the Christmas holiday. The Senate
inpasi-iug the biii rose superior to all
pai tisau ccusiucrutioLis, aud the measure
which is patted docs not seem to permit
of a po'ssiole coutiugcucy whereby dur
ing tne term lor wnich Air. Cleveland
was elected the control of the govern
ment can pass out of the hands of the
JDeuiooraUe party. It is no doubt true,
as alleged by sonic of the lifuse Demo
crats, that It more satistactory bill can be
framed, but the Senate bill is an entire
ly safe measure, and its enactment into
Jaw will remove all Uuuger of trouble or
U'lncuky in case of any casualty to Air.
(jicvciuuu. li should be promptly poss
cu, aud li more satisfactory provisions on
tne feubject are ueeuicd desirable, tuy
can be niuiured at lcieure.

number ot petitions were presented in ! iaa, country id tuc world uad ad
tboSnato, praying for the suspension of va"ced ,n Pro9Pfrlty ',n a degree at all
the silver coinage to be compared With tliat of the d uble
Mr. Harrison reported favorably from "Jard United States. V itjiout
the committee on territoties; the original couclud.ng his remarKS, Mr. l'ujrh gave
bill to admit Dakota aud tv provide for .wa t0 M' .Edmunds for a .notion go
the organization for the Territory oft
Lincoln. j
Mr. iiutler reserved the right to sub- '
mit a minority report if,- after the pe- i
rusai aud consideration of the majority
reitort, thev conclude to do so.
Mr. Harrison, from the same commitr
tee, reported adversely on the resolu
tions heretofore offered by Messrs. liut
Vr and V est, calling for inquiries as to
t ie organization of a State 1 govern
n.i nt iu Dakota. The resolutions were
iibicul on tiiA oalnntlar.
Mr. Morgan oiiered a resolution re-
Intin. th,. irnutPM r,i,U fn, u
tho Utah bill to manage the property
and affairs of thu. Mormon church organ
nation. The preamble to the resolution
recites that union of church and State
in a joint administration of the temporal
and spiritual affairs of any church or re
ligious sect is dangerous Ui, freedom of
religious worship and violates the prin
eiples of the constitution of" the United
States. The resolution sets forth auiotig
other things that iu the opinion ; of the
Senate it is not within the power of
Congress to appoint officers olUhe United.
SLa'tes to participate with officers of any
i tiurcii or religious sect in the manage
ment of tho affairs of such a church or
-eet, and that it is iu violation of the
constitution, for the Presideut to appoint
any such officer under any law. At Mr.
1 organ's request the resolution was al
lowed to lie- over.
Mr. Pugh called up Mr. Beck's silver
resolution and addressed tbe Seuate on
it.. With the aid of all the learning in
ihe world, Mr. Pugh said", the greatest
-.Utesuien were still grupplmg with the
money question preciseiyi the same s
when they began to grapple with it. So
far "as the United States were concerned
there had never beeiTa time when oui
paper or metallic currency had been so
sound and healthy as it was today.
This condition of affairs and; the premium
on oui bonds constituted a grim satire
on the prophesies of the opponents of
legislation hitherto euacted by Congress
on the money question, Nothing was
more to be dtftiired, Mr. Pugh
thought, than that banks, bankers and
the federal treasury should stand aside
and allow Uresham's law to have
a full and free operation on our silver
currency.- He had ' much confidence in
the practical sense, sound judgment and
integrity of President Cleveland and
his devotion to constitutional principles,
but-many Democrats would differ with
the President on the money question
and on details effecting the tariff. These
questions were so far-reaching and com
plicated in their operation as not to be
Sfi.".: .""rrSf1 iTlntbj the CJuited States
u.u uuuni, iuijuiries. lie lirugni osa
given thq President's message much
consideration, but was constrained to
differ with him with regard to money.
Mr. Pugh quoted figures from the
Mew York clearing-house to show that
only about iij per . cent of the clearing
house transactions were represented
by cash, the remainder being made
up principally of checks., Congress was'
confronted, he said, with an official an
nouncement that our business relations
had reached a crisis in which we must
suspend the coinage of silver until we
could secure an international ratio be
tween gold and silver. The real point
involved Mr. Pugh believed to be the
total stoppage of the silver coinage, and
if the coinage of silver were suspended
now it would be a blow that would di-
I rectly and speedily lead to the consume
I mation of an organized conspiracy jof
capitalists to secure tne absolute control
of all our currency and the regulation
of its volume and consequent purchasing
power. Mr. Pugh believed he spoke
for the Southern people when he
said that three-fourths of them
would today, if an opportunity were
given, vote against a proposition to sus
pend the silver coinage, ihe petitions
that come to Uongress favoring suspen-
sion were all on printed Dianivs ana
signed mainly by bankers Mr. Pugh
crit icised the arguments of the secretary
of the treasury and of the president,
lie inquired whether we were to take
the mere dictum of tbe President on this
matter and insisted that the executive
uffeers were under obligation to enforce
the law of Congress. Why had those
law b been hourly violated 7 Had Con
gress abdicated its powers to the execu
tive department ot the government I
Tbe uatioual banks, who were the fiscal
a 'outs of the gavernmt nt. should not,
Mr 1' ugh thought, have been allowed
to become members of the clearing-house
tbut discredited the Bilver certificates
of the government. The national banks
ha 1 evaded a law-of Cougress by agree
ing that they would not offer silver cer-
tineates to tne clearing-house and there
fore none had been actually refused by
the clearing-house. - A newspaper, he
said, had squarely defended the evasion.
Why waseilver opposed by the national
bunks t Because silver was the only
medium of our. currency which they
oouli not control. "Stop the coinage
ol Bilver." said Mr. Push, "and those
banks will become absolute roonarchs
all they survey." The opinion of James
G. Blaine, he continued, would have

Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. ll.-Thie
is the third day of tho cold wave, whose
effects have been felt throughout Florida,
so far as heard from. Tne temperature
began falling Friday night and Satur
day morning reached 3'1 i degrees as re
e rJed at the signal office at d lib' iu ex
posed places. Saturday night was
colder still. The thermometer recorded
21 degrees at the signal office and 15 tn
exposed places. Last night wi s also
very cold and the thermometer this
morning fell to 22 at the signal office
and lH where exposed. High winds
have been blowing almost constantly
during three days, which greatly aggra
vated the effect of the cold. But little
news has been received here from the
interior. The temperature fell to 15
at Fernandina Sunday, 20 at St. Augus
tine, and is reported to have fallen to
16 as far south aa Tampa, on the Gulf
coast. The damage done is less than
would be expected from such a freeze.
The oranges remaining on the trees are
frozen and the lemon trees in northern
Florida are probably killed to the sur
face of the ground, but beyond losing
their leaves it is not believed that the
orange trees are injured even in the
northern part of the State. The cold
weather in December prevented the sap
from rising, consequently the damage is
less than it would have been There
arc no signs yet of the weather moder

Washington, Jan. 11. The Senate
today in executive session confirmed the
following nominations : Jlenjauiin F.
Jonas, of Louisiana, collector of customs
of the district of New Orleans; Alfred
1,'. Edgerton, of Fort Wayne, Ind., Wm.
L. Treuholm, of Charleston, S. C, and
Donnan B. Eaton, of New York, civil
service commissioners. Nearly five hun
dred nominations were reported from
committees, chiefly postmasters. The
nominations sent .in by the President
last Wednesday and today were referred
to committees. The President has with
drawn the nomination of Wm- H. Mc
Ardle, of Mississippi, to be counsul at
San Juan del Norte, he having declined
the appointment.
When the nomination of Eaton came
up Senator Logan made tbe point that
he (Eaton) was a "mugwump," and
that the spirit of the civil service law re
quired that one of the commissioners be
a republican. Senators Evarts, Hoar
and one or two others vouched for his
republicanism. There are said to have
been fourteen votes cast against him,
one-half of which number were those of
republicans. j

A Sinister Commits Nulclde. 1
St. Louis, Jan. 11. Quite a sensa
tion was produced when, late last night,
the coroner announced that Key. li. D.
Jardine, an Episcopal minister,; who was
some weeks ago convicted before the
ecclesiastical court at Kansas City, had
committed suicide here yesterday. It
appears that Jardine, since his arrival
tere some davs ago to consult with his
attorney regarding his case-, has been
odgmg in the vestry room" of Trinity
Episcopal church, of which Father Betts
is rector. Saturday evening s Jardme
and his attorney, Harrison, and Father
Betts had a prolonged conference in the
vestry room, during which Harrison
very decidedly expressed the opinion
that bishop Robertson would not grant
Jardine a rehearing of his case. This
had some effect upon Jardmo and he
manifested considerable feeling, repeat
edly declaring his innocence of the
charges for which he had been tried, and
the justice of the demand for a new
trial, but when Father Betts aid Harri
son lett about one o clock yesterday
morning it was not thought ; that
Jardine i was seriously disturbed.
When Father Betts arrived at the church
early yesterday morning he observed
Jardine still in bed, but did not disturb
him and went on with his early services.
ater the sexton of the church went to
the vestry room to awake Jardine and
found him in a deep sleep and breathing
heavily. He immediately called deacon
Dyer, assistant to father Betts,! who on
entering the room detected chloroform
and at once sent for physiciansJ On the
arrival of the doctors they discovered
that Jardine had taken chloroform and
immediately adopted "rigorous measures
to restore mm, out alter tnree nours
continuous effort announced the rever
end gentleman dead. A coroner was
notified and aftev hearing all obtainable
testimony a verdict of suicide hy chloro-
lorm was rendered, ihe body was pre
pared for burial and now lies in the
vestry room. It will be taken to Kansas
City for interment. The fact tjf tho sui
cide was known, to but few during the
day and received no public announce
ment until the coroner reported the case
ate last night. The case is likely to
create a great sensation in church cir
cles. as Jardine is said to have been very
popular m his denomination.
