HE ALSO FAVORS BIMETALISM But Can't See His Way Clear to Vote For It At the Present 'Time. Associated Press. Washington, Fdb. : 20. Chandler cre ated something of a sensation In the senate late today ,by outlining some lm portant steps tS be taken by the next congress, lncfludtng congressional inves- tlgatlpn of the recent purchase of gold by the president of the United States. The statement came unexpectedly as Incident to the debate on the Indian appropriation t. During the early 3 hours of the day the silver bill made its exit from the senate. Jones, of Ar kansas, in charge of the measure, an nounced that Jta friends would make no further effort to pass It at the pres ent session. The speech of Chandler significantly ufsod that the time was near at 'hand I .when the Republican party must take affirmative action on bimetallism. J Chandler, of) "New Hampshire, ad dressed the seriate on the Wolcott reso. lution for free coinage of silver. It was looked upon as significant and waa followed with interest owing to the prominent part Chandler has taken in shaping the course of the Republican side of the chamlber. He said: I "In deference to the prevailing opin ion of New England, and because It may toe unwise to open our own mints of unlimited coinage of silver without concurrent action on the part of other great nations, I vote against the pent! Ing resolution. But I regret that I can not also now vote in favor of some affirmative measure In the direction of bimetallism to promote which the Re publican party is sacredly pledged by promises of Its national convention of 1892, which as yet nothing has been done to redeem. Gold monometallism Is our destiny If some affirmative action in its direction is not Boon taken. The adoption of a single gold standard hat helied to Induce the present calamity. Bimetallism is promised to the people of this country. They wait with much impatience for the fulfillment of the pledges solemnly made by both polit ical parties." ' A NOTED MAN DEAD. Frederick Douglass, the Great Ex-Slave Statesman Suddenly Expires. Washington, Feb. 20. Frederick Douglass, the noted colored oratom dropped dead at his home In Ana- costa this evening. His death was due to heart failure and was entirely unexpected as he had been In the best of health. During the afternoon he attended a conven tion of the women of the United States In this city, and dhatted with Susan B. Anthony and others of the leading merrtliers, with whom, he had been on intimate terms for many years. When he returned home he said nothing of any feeling of illness, though he ex pressed himself as being a little ex hausted from tho climb up stairs lead ing from the street to his house, which is on a high terrace. He sat down and ohatted with his wife about the women of the convention. Suddenly he gasp ed, clasped his hands to his heart and fell back unconscious. Within twenty minutes 6f the attack the motion of the heart ceased, and the great ex slave statesman was dead. Mr. Douglass leaves two sons and a daughter, the children of his first wife. His second wife, who Is a white woman, gurvives him. The story of his second marriage is a romantic one. Miss Helen Pitts, whom he married, was a New England woman of middle age, a a olerk In the ofTlce of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia when Douglass was appointed to that office. She was a member of the lit erary society to which he belonged. They were thrown much- together and finally 'became engaged. Her relatives opposed (Jhe union bitterly on account of his color, but finally yielded. THEY WERE PLEASED. The Treasury Department Elated Over the Bond Purchase. Washington, Feb. 20.--The treasury officials heard today with much satis faction of the success of the bond Is sue. They were especially cleaned with the favor with which the loan was re ceived In London, as It shows 'most conclusively the faith abroad of our financial strength and purpose to pay all obligations in gold. The good effect : 01 ine recent goM purchase Is already shown, It Is eserted. In the upward ten ' denry of Amprican securities In Lon- ' don. The officials were much gratified j to learn that In view of the very large over subscription for bonds In London, FEBRUARY 2), 1895. the IMorgan-Bdmcnt syndicate would consent to sell only a small portion of the whole In this country. If this plan was carried out It would reduce the danger of further gold withdrawal to a minimum, and quiet the panicky feel ing which has prevailed during the last several months. THE WHITE NAVY.
