WILMINGTON, K. C Thursday Morning Mar. 29. 1894 WASHINGTON NEWS. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ON THE SEIGN IORAGE BILL Hu Not Yet Batched Congrejs It Will Ba a Veto A Free- Coinage Bill Intro duced in the Senate Auditor Brawley of the Treasury Department Tenders His Beeignation President Cleveland' Gouty foot. By TetegTspa to the M annua Star. Washington. March 28. The Presi dent's expected message upon the Biand Seigniorage bill did not reach Congress to-day. The settled opinion, however, is that it will be a veto. Senator Steart, ol Nevada, this morning took the preliminary steps In the tight for the free .and unlimited coinage ol silver that is to be inaugu rated, according to common gossip, as soon as the President sends in his veto ol the Bland bill. Mr. Stewart had his bill laid upon the table instead of permitting it to go to the Committee on Finance as it would in the ordinary course of business. "I do not propose that this Jbill shall 'ie put to sleep as hive all the others preceding it on the same subject," said he. It has gone to the table where it cn be called up at any time for remarks, and some remarks will be very likely made by myself and other silver men on this subject." Mr. Stewart will not have to depend upon Republicans for his support in this matter. The proposition to introduce and push to a final passage A FREE COINAGE BITL, absolute in its provisions, has been brew ing for some days, and a leading mem ber of the Finance Committee, who be longs on the Democratic side, said this morning that be believed such a bill would pass the Senate by a fair ma jority, and that, too, without extended debate, if the President vetoed the Bland bill. He was positive that such a measure would pass the House, and was equally eertain that another veto would be interposed. This Senator, however, took the ground that the subject of free coinage would not be permitted to stand in the way of the speedy consideration A the Tang bill. The silver men who have fought all the time for the free coinage of that metal, and protested against what they are pleased to term as makeshifts and compromises, are willing to be lieve in the veto lor the rea son that from their point of view it only adds to the triction in other circles, and it makes the passage of a free coinage bill all the easier. The friends of the Seigniorage bill had A NEW STORY to tell to-day. This was that Secretary Gresham and Mr. Hoke Smith had over come the objections of the President to the bill and he bad decided to sign it. The story gained ground rapidly, and members who were responsible fop it were eagerly sought and plied with questions as to its correctness. The anti-silver members took no stock in it and held firmly to their opinion that a veto would reach the House to-day or to-morrow. While the story seemed to please the silverites. it apparently did not disturb the anti-silver people or shake their belief that the President would return the bill without his ap proval. AUDITOR BRAWLEY RESIGNS. This official announcement was made at the Treasury to-day; "Mr. J. B. Brawiey, sixth auditor or the Treasury Department, to-day tendered his resig nation to the President, to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of his successor. Mr. Brawley is a citi zen of Meadville, Pa., is a lawyer by pro fession and was apbointed auditor April 19. 1893. The position pays $3,000 per annum. No action as yet has been taken on his resignation. He is the first official appointed by the present administration who has resigned. His resignation, it is said, were forced. For some time past he and Mr. Carlisle's relations have not been pleasant, and some time ago there was quite a scene in Mr. Carlisle's room between the Sixth Auditor and Mr. Carlisle. Secretary Carlisle has not oeen impressed with Mr. Brawley's executive capacity. The work of the Sixth Auditors Office is far behind; the methods employed were not business like, and Postmaster General Bissell, Secretary Carlisle and the President six weeks ago came to the conclu sion that a change was necessary in the office. Mr Brawley called at the Treasury Department yesterday and formally tendered his resignation. The Sixth Auditor's office audits all the accounts of the Postoffice Depart ment. It is the largest Auditor's office in the Treasury and is as large as the en tire Agricultural Department. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND Disposed of all gossip as to his inability to walk on account of a gouty foot by coming down stairs to the East room of the White House to-day and shaking hands with 509 people, the occasion being his regular tri-weekly reception to lhe public These receptions were suspend ed all last week on account of the great pressure of important public business which absorbed his atrention. To-day, although the President limped slightly, he was evidently not seriously inconve nienced, but was in unusually good spirits and laughed heartily at apparent jokes hastily uttered by some of his visi tors.

The JTortiiioationi Appropriation Bill Be ported from Committee Private Pen sion Bills Passed by the House Con tested Election Cases from Missouri and California Under Consideration, By Telegraph to tie Morning Star. SENATE. Washington, March 28. During the morning hour and after the presenta tion of the many executive communica tions, a bill to provide for the free and unlimited coinage of silver was intro-. duced by Mr. Stewart (Rep., Nev.) and laid on the table for the present. The Fortification Appropriation bill was reported back from the Appropria tion Committee by Mr. Call, who stated that he would not call it up until next week, as there were amendments to be offered to it by several Senators. The famous McGarrahan claim was then taken up in the shape of a bill to refer it to the court of -private land claims, and Mr. Morrill made an argu ment against it, on the ground chiefly that the grant on which it was based was a forgery. The discussion of the bill was interrupted by another motion to go into executive session. This was agreed to and at 4 05 the Senate ad journed until to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House took up by unanimous consent and passed several private pen sion bills. Also the bill reported from the Judiciary Committee with an unani mously favorable vote, authorizing the proper officials of the Government to accept the bonds of approved security and guaranty company in cases where bonds are required to be given to the United States. Mr. Outhwaite reported from the Committee on Rules an order for the immediate consideration upon its adop tion of the pending election case of Messrs. O'Neil vs. Joy, from the 11th district of Missouri, and that of Messrs. English vs. Hilborne, from the 3rd dis trict of California, a vote to be taken after two bouts' debate on each case, equally divided between the parties. Upon ordering the previous question upon the order, the House divided ayes 161; nays none. Mr. Reed made the point of no quarum and the yeas and nays were ordered. The previous ques tion was ordered by the vote of just a quorum 179 including the Speaker. Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, voted no, being opposed on principle to the adoption of such measures, The House voted ayes 109, noes none, to pass the order. Mr. Reed made the point of no quorum and the yeas and nays were ordered. The vote on the resolution was an nounced: Yeas, 172; nays, 7 just a quorum, including the vote of the Speaker. The negative vote was made up of Messrs. Daniels of New York, Hermann of Oregon, and McCleary of Minnesota (Republicans), and Griffin of Michigan. Hutcheson of Texas, Kil gore of Texas and Warner of New York (Democrats). The Populists voted with the Demo crats on all the motions in the case. The vote was first taken on the reso lution of the minority declaring Charles Joy elected to and entitled to a seat in the Fifty-third Congress from the Eleventh district of Missouri. The vote was, yeas 103, nays 146. Mr. Burrows (Rep., Mich.) having voted no, moved to reconsider the vote. Mr. Springer (Dem.,- Iil.) moved to lay the motion on the table. On this motion the House divided yeas 124, nays 3. "No quorum," said Mr. Burrows. "Yeas and nays," said Mr. Patterson, and they were ordered. The vote on Mr. Spnngei's motion was : Yeas 157, nay3 8 the Republi cans refraining from answering to their names. "No quorum has voted." said the speaker. "Mr. Speaker." said Mr. Patterson, "I move that the House do now adjourn," which was agreed to without division, and at 5.30 the House was declared ad journed until to-morrow at 12 o'clock. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheat Market Exoited and Higher Corn and Oats firm at Better Prioes Pork Products Advancing. Bt Telegraph to the Morning Stir. Chicago, March 28, Wheat bear3 were made to dance to the tune of a quick advance of three cents per bushel to-day. The bulge was not unexpected, but the force and suddenness with which it came about nearly took away the breath of the late complacent shorts. Ever since Sunday, when the cold wave enveloped the winter wheat belt, fears were entertained that harm had been wrought to the growing plant. These fears were assuaged as far as possible by those whose interest it was to do so. Every report of damage was discredited or talked down, but the weather conditions to-day were of such a character that plausible theories of un jointed wheat, etc., were cast aside, and for thirty minutes during the early part ot the session everybody was a Dun. it was either raining or snowing wherever wheat was planted. and back of it and headed for the wheat country was an area oi low temperature, The Government indications confirmed the prospects of a freeze by predicting a severe cold wave, bhorts endeavored to quietly cover their contracts, but their attempts developed the fact that offerings were scarce. A wild scramble followed and the price was sharply run up irom 58c to 61c. When the de nana was iuuy satisfied the price re ceded, but at the close the decline was only c from the outside and the net gain lor the day 25&2c. Corn In deference to the excitement in wheat, corn remained quiet and un obtrusive. Business was light and the range narrow. The feeling was, bow- ever, one of firmness, the close being at the outside. May sold between 87 87 jfc closing at the tormer, a net gain of c for the day. Cash corn was firm and c higher. Oats were firm and higher with wheat and corn. There was also some independent strength derived from reports of damage to the crop, but as yet they have not assumed definite shape. The close was at again of 1J Jfcover yesterday. Cash oats were stronger and Jfc higher. Provisions were under the spell of ad vancing wheat market and sold up in unision with it. A strong hog market was aiso a lactor as was likewise the dis position to cover shown by shorts. The amount of business transacted was ouite good, although nothing of unusual inter est transpired. The close was 20c higher for May pork, 10c. higher for May lard, and 15c. hgher for May ribs. POLLARD-BRECKINRIDGE SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE. . Several Witnesses ; Examined All Ka malninft Depositions Besd Col. Breckin ridge Will Testify To-day. Br Telegraph to the Horning Star. Washington, March 28. Col. Breck inridge will take the stand to-morrow to testify in his own behalf against the ac cusations of Madeline Pollard. To-day several witnesses for the defence were examined and nearly all the remaining depositions were read, leaving only a tew of the latter to be disposed of. When the reading of the depositions is concluded Col. Breckinridge, his attor neys say, will take the stnnd, and they are confident that he will make a good impression. SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY. The testimony introduced by the de fence to-day was sensational. Part of it was very vulgar, even indecent, in the language used by the deponents. RANKIN R. ROSSELL was the next witness. He is the young man who said in bis deposition that Miss Pollard wanted him to take her to Chi cago when they were engaged. Miss Pollard admitted the engagement. Mr. Rossell is a young looking man. He says he was 34 years old and lived in Nicholasville, Ky. He was superin tendent of the schools in his county and deputy county clerk and also held offices in Masonic circles. Mr. Rossell said he resided in Cincinnati in 1885 and was employed as a clerk in a large dry goods house. He knew Miss Pollard and be came acquainted with her in October or November 1883. "I was employed in dry goods bouse at the time" he said, "and during one of the months named, a lady called on me at the ; store and introduced herself as Miss .Adeline Pollard, saying she bad heard of me very often. She told me she wanted to go to the Wesleyan College, and I went there with her." Mr. Rossell told of going to the Col lege with Miss Pollard, and how Miss Pollard told the principa', Dr. Brown, that Mr. Rossell, to whom the bad in troduced herself that day, was a per sonal friend of hers, and asked that per mission be granted for him to call on her at the College. ,IN LOVE WITH MISS POLLARD. The witness saw Miss Pollard three or four days after that at the College. He called there about twice a week on an average to see Miss Pollard, and most frequently saw her alone. "I at first had a great admiration for the young lady," said the witness, ner vously looking at his finger-nails, "which developed into love, and irom love we became engaged." Miss Pollard had told him, Mr. Ros sell said, that she had engaged herself to old man Kodes to get money from him to secure an education, and that was how she became to be a pupil at Wes leyan College. During the period of their engagement the witness saw Miss Pollard more frequently alone at the college than when others were present Her manner was very affectionate. "In what way- was that indicated?" asked Major Selby. SHE SAT IN HIS LAP. The witness hesitated in an embar rassed way before answering. He then said, "By kissing arid caressing." Then he added. "She has sat in my lap." Miss Pollard rose in her chair and made a slight movement towards the witness. She appeared as if about to speak, but Mr. Carlisle pulled her back in her chair, and Kossell proceeded. "When she sat in your lap were there any demonstrations of affection between you?" MajDr Shelby asked. "There naturally was," said the witness. "1 put my arms about her and kissed her. In answer to other questions, the wit ness said that Miss Pollard told him it ever he met Mr. Rodes at the college to pretend there was nothing between them. He met Mr. Rodes there one Sunday night. He and Miss Pollard greeted each other as strangers before Mr. Rodes, according to their agree ment, but before the evening was over Miss Pollard inadvertently called him "Rankin," which led Mr. Rodes tore- mark that she seemed very familiar on first acquaintance. "But by some means or other," said the witness, "she made Him think she had spoken to a young tidy. WANTED TO VISIT CHICAGO. The witness said be had decided to go to Chicago, and when he went to say good-bye to Miss Pollard, she expressed regret that he was going and asked why he did not take her with him. "I said, 'Well, if you want to go, under these cir cumstances, come along, and she went up stairs and came down with her bat and cloak. That put nre in a hole, and I told her that it was inconvenient for me to take her then, and that we had better wait until next June." "Were you joking when' you spoke about going sway? "Yes sir. "Did she say she had trunk packed." "Yes sir; she said that. "How old was she at that time?" "She always reprented herself to be three years my junior. I was born in 1860, and she said she was born in November 1863." (Miss Pollard says she was born November 30. 1866.) hiram Kaufman's deposition. Mr. RoseH's was the last verbal testi mony given, and when he had stepped down, Mr. Stoll began to read the depo sition ot Hiram Kanlman. Miss Pollard and Miss Ellis left the court room as the reading began. Mr. Kaufman is a butcher, thirty years of age and lives in Lexington. He said that when he came to Lexington thirrteen years ago, he went to u house in Lexington, kept by Lena Singleton, and in May and June, 1883, he bad seen Madeline Pol lard there. This was a year before Miss Pollard met Col. Breckinridge. He had seen Madeline Pollard "and Jim Rodes (James C. Rodes) at the house of Lena Singleton, where she sat on his lap and acted just like any woman of the town. The witness deposed that Miss Pollard had made advances toward him but he rejected them on account of his friend ship toward Rodes. with whom he was associated at the insane asylum near Lexington. On cross-examination Mr. Kaufman said he had seen Mr. Rodes give Made line Pollard $25. Mr. Rodes had pre sented him to Miss Pollard, saying : "Let me introduce you to my girl. Miss Pollard.' He went on to tell in all its disgusting details a conversation be tween himself and Miss Pollard that outbillingsgated billingsgate and in which Miss Pollard is represented as using language that is hard to credit when compared to her refined manner and appearance. Mr. Kaufman said he had seen, the Pollard woman frequently at the bouse of Lena Singleton. John A. Brant deposed that he met Madeline Pollard at the house of Jim Rodes. where Lena Singleton acted as his housekeeper. He went to the house with Mr. Rodes. and Miss Pollard dodged him, said the deponent, mean ing that she would not meet him. She appeared then, in 1883, to be a tall grown woman. Brant testified that he had taken Miss Pollard riding three or four times. He was a married man at the time. Brant said the woman he knew at Lena- Singleton's as Madeline Pollard was about five feet high or less. Miss Pollard is much taller than that. Miss Pollard seemed to be visiting at Lena Singleton's when he visited there in the summer of 1883. W. T. Jones, a member of Lexington's Board of Aldermen, deposed that he knew the family of President Brown, of Wesleyan College, and visited them fre quently in the Fall and Winter of 1883, where ne met miss ronara. ice depo nent said Miss Pollard told him that Rodes was paying her tuition, but she did not intend to marry him. He was an ignorant old farmer, she said, and she expected to pay him back. Ibis was all of Alderman Jones de position, and the Court adjourned until to-morrow morning. COXEY'S ARMY. The "Commonweal Armj" Still March ing Through Ohio. Telegraph to th- Morning htai. Chicago, March 28 General Coxev. of the Commonweal army, arrived here to-day to attend a horse auction, at which be had a pair of horses entered to be sold. His horses, however, had hrm sold yesterday at prices much below Coxey's hopes. He will rejoin his army at Salem, Ohio, to-night. He was well interviewed while here. From his ut terances he did not appear favorably im pressed with the work of the correspond ents accompanying the army and com plained of efforts to create the impres sion that it was a burlesque. Alliance, Ohio, March 28. Coxey's army evacuated camp Bunker Hill early this morning, and by forced marches on foot and via freight tram moved toward Camp Diggs, near Salem. The astrolo ger claims a strength of 500, but Browne and Smith, who are conservative, put it lower. The war correspondents have never yet counted a hundred in line. Browne says that the actual strength only develops at meal times. The farce is likely to continue just as long as farmers and merchants are willing to teed the wanderers, who are havin&r a good time without responsibility. No trouble occurred by reason of the ab sence of Commander Coxev. Discinlmp has been considerably improved among tne citizens ot the ubicago and Coxiana communes by Adjutant Smith, "the unknown," who is a rigid disciplinarian. SPOTS AND FUTURES.

Do not be miiled by mere empty words, but 'et facts $peak for themselves. It is not what people say, but what they do that is a proof. Few persons realize the great importance of giving the ee proper oatc a.sd attention. It is far better never to wear glasses, than improperly adjusted ones, such as 1 am frequently called upon to change, and which we -e furnish d ty opticians in whom the public bad implicit confidence, lhe truth of tot statemeot 1 can substantiate to the letter I have been successful beond my expecta tions, and mean to do none but the roost conscientious work, and will use my best kcowiedge sn-a ability to further that end. I have had the benent of th best instruction, both theoretically od practically, and claim to be an optician in the tallest tense ol the word, it is a source of great pleasure to me 10 know that 1 have relieved so many children by sivtng them prop erly adjusted glasses, and whose parents assure me that they have greatly improved, not on y in genen.1 health, bat in tneir s:utiies. Vo not hesitate to call upon me if yoa wish to ascertain the exact condition of t be eye. I will gladly refract you. free ot charge, whether glasses are desiicd or not. During my attendance at the Clinics, North.
