The Farmers' Alliance members of
the Legislature had a long caucus last
night at which ! the matter of rate of

was decided tinallytoTimkejthe rate 6

per cent. One of the leading Alliance
men tells me to-day that the Alliance
will stand by the caucus action. There
has been a general movement forfc re
duction of the interest rate, both by
the county and State Alliances and the
action taken last night will give the
order general satisfaction. The bank
men will oppose the reduction. It is
safe to say that the bill will become a
law.

Washington, Jan. SO. All the
morning a stream of carriages were ar
riving at the family residence of the

to manifest their love and: sympathy
for the sorely stricken family.
The only son, William D. Windom,

been received. Yesterday, it is be

The time of tne funeral will depend

Washington, Jan. 30. The Presi
dent and members of his cabinet as
sembled at the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad station this afternoon at 4:15
o'clock for the purpose of receiving the
remains of i Secretary Windom, whom
they last saw alive on Tuesday at the
regular meeting of j the cabinet. I The
remains were brought in a special car
attached to the regular train leaving
Jersey cjity at 11:30 o'clock and arriv
ing in Washington at 4:30 o'clock.' It
arrived promptly on time ! and was re
ceived by a most distinguished assem
blage, including nearly all the leading
public officials in I Washington. All
the bureaus, divisions and branches of
a i rr T-v a a
tne Treasury uepartmenx were repre
sented by their principal officials and
many Clerks and subordinate em
ployees. These all assembled at the
Treasury Department at 4 o'clock
and proceeded to the railroad station in
a body. The Presidential party con
sisted of the President, Vice President,
Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, Secretary
Proctor, Postmaster General Wana
maker, Secretary Noble, Secretary
Rusk, Gen. Schofield and Solicitor
General Taft. The casket containing
the remains were I removed from the
car and placed on a stand prepared for
it. It was then taken in charge by
eight members of Company B of the
Treasury National Guards, in uniform,
under Lieutenant Moore and borne to
the hearse. Carriages were provided
for all and the cortege, headed by two
mounted policemen, moved slowly to
the Secretary's residence.!
Washington, Jan. 30. The silver
hearings were continued by the House
Coinage committee to-day. Director
Leach of the mint was questioned by j
members of the committee. The ef
fect of the passage of the free coinage
bill, he thought, would be that foreign
nations haying stocks of silver on hand
would ship it here, but before these
shipments could arrive the alarm would
be so great that gold would be with
drawn from the Treasury and hoarded
by banks, ! so that the Government
would have no gold: with which to pay
for silver. The effect of i free coinage
would be a contraction of the currency;
but how long this would last he could
not tell. j ! I
Edward Atkinson was then given a
hearing. He said that credit expend
ed not upon the quantity of money but
the quality. In the business of 1 the
world credit was a factor to an extent
twenty or thirty times as great as that
of actual money, j He declared that
free silver coinage would stop credit,
which would stop business, as business
had already been restricted very large
ly by fear of such legislation.

The accounts from Southern cities
indicate only j a fair trade, with im
provement at Atlanta and slight im
provement at Jacksonville, but with in
creasing receipts and lower prices for
cotton at New Orleans. ;
The startling death of Secretary
Windom caused a sudden fall in the
price of bar ! silver from 47i to 46
in London, is stated ;in dispatches,
but no change whatever in the financial
policy of the1 Government is likely to
result, thotigh it may easily happen
that his successor, however able, may
not possess the fertility5 of resources
which Mr. Windom has shown in meet
ing emergencies. The operations of
the Treasury during, the past! week
have in no way effected the 'money
market, which is well supplied. Spec
ulation, accordingly, is more active
and wheat has advanced 2 cents, corn
2i cents, oats i and coffee 15 cents per
