TEE BLAND SEIGNIORAGE BILL

Opponents ot the Meaanre Will Demend

the Presence of a Ouorain of Its Sup-

porters* Washington. D. C., February 14.—

All effort* to agree upou a time for closing the debate upon the Bland bill have so far failed, and the debate is still

proceeding without limit. Mr. Bland will

probably permit this to go on until to-

morrow night and there are a uumber of

gcutlemen who insist upon their right to be heard. The oppoueuts of the measure have decided that they will in- sist oa a quorum of the advocates of the

measure being presented at every stage

or the parliamentary procedure here- after 'O tnat a motion to close debate will require a quorum of thoso who are lu favor of it. There are many members of the House who are absent at this time, and tnose will probably require two

days at least to secure the attendance uecessarv to bring the bill to a vote.

To-morrow it Is Mr. Bland’s intention to make a motion to close debate, and as

this motiou will probably develop the lack of a quorum, the opponents of the bill refusing to vote, he w.ll offer a resolution to bring In absent- ees. Probably Friday and part of Saturday, and possibly still another day may be require;! to produce the

requisite quorum. A quorum favoring the bill being here, if uecessarv & spe- cial order will be brought in to bring the measure to a final vote.

EXTRA PAY FOR LETTER CARRIERS.

Arransemeata Maiie tor Settling for Over

Time.

Washington, D. C., February 14.—

Heury L. Lorenz, of Toledo, Ohio,.has been appointed special attorney of the Department of Justice in connection with the suits brought by letter car-

riers in different parts of the country for compensation for time in excess of eight hours a day. There are now about 3,0 >0 of these cases pending, aud Mr. Lw ecz will exame and brief each case

for action by the court. Mr. W. W. Hill, as Commissioner of the Court of Claims, is now engaged in examining the carrier Doous, tune sneew, etc., in

the different cities, and where there is

do dispute as to the facts as reported bv Mr. Hilt the courts will doeide the

case upon his finding. This proceedure, it is said, will greatly expedite the de-t termination of these cases. The Su- preme Court has already decided that carriers are entitled to compensation for time served in excessof eight hours, so that the only question iuvolved is the amount of extra time each claimant has worked.

TUI FECKUAM NOMINATION.

Both aide* Making Active Preparation* for To-dar’s Executive S«Hion.

Washington. D. C., February 14.— The leaders on both sides in tbe Peck- ham contest are continuing their efforts to day in preparation for the Executive session to-morrow. The best opinion obtainable is that the session will not be so long as that in which M,r. Horn- blower’s nomination was considered.

As the proceedings will not go in the Record aud as oulv Senators can hear the speeches there can be no object in long speeches except to influence Sena- tors and it Is believed that by the time the sessions begins there will be little or no doubt as to how any Senator stands.

The opponents of confirmation are

claiming from four to six majority. There will be six or eight changes from the Uornblower vote.

Washington, D. C., February 14.— Miss Elizabeth W. Dalzell, daughter of Representative Dalzell, of Pennsylva- nia, and Mr. George Dunn, of this city, were married to-day at the fashionable Church of the Convent, by the Rev. Dr. S. J. Fisher, of Pittsburg. The bride

GOLD UP; 8U.VBK, DOWN.

Great Incrcw • in the Production of the Yellow Metal—Silver Failing off.

Washington, D. C., February 14.— Returns received at the Treasury Do* partment Indicate that the gold output for 1893 will reach the almost unpre- cedented amount of $67,000,000, an in- crease over 1892 of $4,000,000. In Col- orado the output has increased from $3,000,090 in 1892, to S3,000.000 in 1893, while the gains in the other gold pro-

ducing sections are unusually large. The Australian production will carry

the production of the world, it is

thought, to $150,000,000, which is a

gain of $12,000,000 for the year. The gold fields of South Africa seem

to be rapidly taking the place of the California and Australian fields as the bonanza finds of the present decade.

Reports from the Witwatersrandt re-

giou alone show a tatal product for 1893 of 1,478,476 ounces of ore, yielding a product of refined gold of a value in excess of $25,000,000.

The prdactioo of stiver, according to the reports received at the mint, has fallen off during the pa3t year, and will not exceed$185,000,000, in coiuing value for 1893, as the coining value is now

more than twice the market value, the actual mercantile value of the silver mined will drop below $90,000,000, the smallest figure for many years.

To Harmonize Democratic Interests.

Washington, February 14.—Senators Vest, Jones, (Arkansas), Goruiau, Ran- som and Cockrell were in conference to-

day. At times thsy called in other Democfatic Senators for consultation. They had under consideration the Democratic policy with reference to the tariff bill’ and that the sugar schedule engaged tbe greater share of their attention. Their efforts were in the direction of harmonizing the Demo- cratic party.

THEY MADE LITTL.B PROGRESS,

Further Caving l’reventa Work at the Fatal Mine—The Surface Sinking.

WiLKKSBAKRE, Pa., February 14.— The rescuers at work in the Gaylord mine did not make much headway to-

day. At 3 o’clock this afternoon there was auother cave-in of the root, which wrecked the inside workings of the mine badly. The workers were com-

pelled to retteat to the foot of the shaft. Great fissures have now ap- peared on the earth’s surface over the mine and a number of houses are now

in danger of toppling over. It is esti- mated that the area affected by the cave-in covers twenty-two acres. The crowds about the mine to-day were less demonstrative, but no less eager for the

faint news that may come up, establishing the fate of those below. Many prominent mine

inspectors and engineers visited the scene and It was the general opinion of those best able to understand the con-

dition of things that ail of the men

must have perished either by being crushed to death, or by suffocation, if they nail time to seek refuge in any other portion of the mine, and it Is be- lieved that there was no chance for a

circulation of air after the cave-ln.

THE NEWS FROM ALL THE WORLD

Collected and Distributed Every Day by the Associated Press.

A Remarkable Gathering of

Newspaper Owners and Editors in Chicago Yesterday—Many New Faces Seen, But They Arc All Worn by Good Men at the

/ Head of Great Newspapers.

Chicago, February 14.—The annual

meeting of the Associated Press was

held at the Auditorium Recital Hall, in

this city to-day. The occasion was notable in this, that

it served to call together for the first

time in American newspaper history,

tho representatives of nearly every

leading newspaper iu the United States

in a national assembly. At the preceding meeting of the As-

sociated Press in October, 1893, the de-

cision was reached to make the organi- zation national in its scope, obliterating sectional lines. As a consequence of

tho accession of tho leading newspapers of the East, which had formally been

allied with the New York Associated

Press or with the United Press and

which have severed their relations with thoss organizations to join the Associa- ted Press, tha session to-day became en-

tirely national in its scope. The following newspapers were rep-

resented: San Francisco Chronicle, Denver Re-

pnOilcan, Denver Times, Denver Rocky Mountain News, Washington Evening Star; Chicago Daily News, Chicago Evening Journal, Chicago r-iaais

Zeuuivj, Chicago F elc Prcssc, Chica- go Record; Chicago Dally Tri- bune, Chicago Herald, Chicago Inter-Ocean, Chicago Evening Post, Kvansville Dally Journal, ludianapoli9 Journal, Indianapolis News, Indianapo- lis Sentinel, Terre Haute Gazette, Terre Haute Express, Topeka Capital,Topeka State Journal, Louisville Evening Post, Louisville Commercial, Louisville Cour- ier-Journal, Baltimore American, Bal- timore Evening News, Baltimore Sun, Boston Traveller, Springfield Union, Detroit Evening News, Detroit Free

members upon the great progress which naa ueeu lu&ue m uanjiu* uut tuu uui-

pose to make the Association national and to widen Its scope, and it was to-

day the greatest news organization in

the world. Mr. Victor F. Lawson, Chairman of

the Executive Committee, submitted a

report detailing at length the negotia- tions whicn had proceeded with the the United Press, looking to the pro- taction of the interests of tho newspa-

pers of the country by a peaceful ad-

justment of tbe contest' between the two organizations; the rejection of ail

fair proposals of tbe United Press, and

the precipitation of tbe struggle that has been going on for the past five months and which is practically brought to a close at tois time, as was fully evi-

denced by the presence of almost all of the dally papers of the country.

A series of amendments to the By- laws were submitted aud after discus-

sion. adopted. These provide for an

increase in the number of the Board of Directors.

A committe,with Mr. Charles P. Taft, of the Cincinnati Timex-Star, as chair- man, was appointed and submitted a

list of five directors to be voted upon to fill vacancies and expired terms. The

gentlemeu recommended were elected

unanimously. The Board consists of: Victor E. Lawson, Chicago Record

and Bail Ncu*; S. S. Carvalho, New York World; M. H. DeYoung, San

Francisco Chron4eJc;CIaytooMcMichael, Philadelphia North- American; Colonel Frederick Driscoll, St. Paul Pioneer Press: F. B. Noyes, Washington Star: Charles W. Knapp, St- Louis Republic; E. H. Perdue, Cleveland Leader; A. J.

Barr, Pittsburg Post; James E. Scripps, Detroit Tribune and News; E. H. But- ler, Buffalo News.

Mr. Melville E. Stone submitted a sat-

isfactory statement of tbe finances of tbe organization. Although it was

deemed unnecessary for the purposes of

the contest, a number of gentlemen who were not present at the former meeting when $320,000 was subscribed to a guar- antee fund to carry on the fight, asked to be included in tbe list, and the fol-

[ lowing subscriptions were made, bring- I in* the guarantee fund up to a total of

$515,000: The Washington. Star, $20,000; Phlla-

delphia Inquirer, S10.000; Philadelphia North, American, $5,000; Philadelphia Press, $5,000; Cincinnati Enquirer, $10,- 000; Baltimore American, S10.000; Cin-

It was a rather entertaining spectacle to see the men whose business it has been to recoTd the doings of others get down themselves to the task of stow-

ing away edibles, and having their own

doings spread out for the delectation of the public.

The tables were arranged in the form of a square, open at one end, and with a

center piece extending down the middle. Opposite the eastern terminus of this

center piece was the head of the table, so far as it bad any bead, and at ibis

point was ensconced Mr. William Penn Nixon, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the presiding officer of the entertainment. Then followed the passing of the loving cap. After the loving cap had been passed around, General Manager Stone proposed the health of James Elverson. Jr., of the

Philadelphia Inquirer, in these words: ••Mr. President—There Is one friend

of the Associated Press, one who is

very near and very dear to all, who is

lying sick at the Auditorium Hotel to-

night. He would have been here bad it been possible. I ask tills company to

join mein one round to the health of Jimmie Elverson, tbe brave manager

of the Pniladelpbla Inquirer [Cheers]. You all know what a loy- al brave heart our afflicted friend bears <n bis bosom. It Is hardly necessary, knowing him as yon do, that I should say anything in commendation of this superb quality which he possessed, but I cannot refrain from mentioning an incident which occnrred lately In bis experience which I must raise tbe steadfastness with which be clings to his friends. When tbe threat came to him one night that be would be cut off from a certain New

Yorlfr paper, if he dared to fo to the

Associated Press. Oa the following morning he primed at the head of his editorial page. “This paper is a member of the Associated Press.”

This evidence of loyalty to the organ- ization was received with hearty cheers

by the company. The toast proposed bv Mr. Slone was

drunk standing ami many expressions of sympathy for the sufferer were ex-

changed among the gentlemen present. During the progress of the bauquet

the proceedings were enlivened by classic music rendered bv the Tornaz Mandolin Orchestra.

After the beuntiful feast had been disposed of, President Nixon rapped for

| order and announced that the intellect- ual end of the banquet bad arrived.

Frederick Driscoll, of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, presented a resolution which was unanimously adopted. He said:

‘•Nearly one year ago, after the As- sociated Press held its annual meeting on the first of March, during the dark days when we did not know what the future was to develop, the Board of Directors of the Association elected a

general manager, and auiODg the first Instructions he received was to

take & trip to Europe. The exec- utive committee not long before that had been to New York and felt the cut of the lash when we were ordered to

pay over $4,000, one thousand miles from our treasurer’s office, within one

hour and a half, or have the dispatches cut off from all of the papers of the West and South. We theu made a high resolve:

“That as soon as It was In our power, we would never allow the papers of the West aud the South, or any part of the
