At 2 o'clock Senator Bea. 11. Tlll
man took the floor on tho pending
silver bond bill. The gallorlca filled
quickly, and the senator was accorded
close attention. He moved from his
rear seat to one in the front row, Im
mediately in front of tho presiding
officer. Although, provided with
ninnuscrlpt,he began extemporaneous
ly. He said ho would use plain
Anglo-Saxon, tho language of tho
common pcoplo, for lie was one of
them. lie spoko bitterly of tho essay
reading indulged in by senators. Ho
referred to tho statement of the
senator from Ohio (Sherman) that tho
silver question had been threshed out,
adding:
"Yes, it has been threshed out by
the speculators, but not by tho far
mers." As a farmer, he would thresh it
BRinUking-up thO'Wholc subject on
a pitchfork, ready, if need bo, to un!
cover tho manure likely to be found,
lie then went en:
"Mr. President, it is not saying too
much, and I feel warranted in charg
ing that tho derangement in our
financial affairs and all tills cry about
sound money and maintaining the
money and the credit of the United
States are all u part and parcel of a
damnable schema of robbery, which
had for its ebject: First, the utter
destruction of silver as a money metal;
second, tho incrcasoof the public debt,
the issue of bonds payable In gold;and,
third, the surrender to corporations of
the power to issuo all paper money,
and give them a monopoly of that
function."
The senator referred to tho enact
ment of the Sherman silver law in
1600, and, in this connection, said:
"The silver Republicans of tho West
who have deserted the silver Demo
crats of the South and accepted the
compromise offered by tho senator
from Ohio, may take warning as to
what faith or trust they may put Into
any utterances or actions of ttie
senator from Ohio, as to legisla
tion in regard to finances. Tho tlmo
for another presidential election ap
proaches. They must understand that
the election of any man to tho presi
dency who would veto a free-coinage
bill means defeat. It means more; It
means disaster to our industries and
increased poverty to the masses of our
people.
"Under the Sherman law there was
a diminution of the amount of free
gold in a gradually decreasing scale,
but not enough to cause any alarm.
During the entire year of 1801 and
the entire year of 1802 there was ap
proximately as much gold as there
was during 1884 and 1885.
"If the secret history of the year
1802 shall ever be written it will dis
close the fact, which cannot bo proven
now, but of which I have not
the slightest doubt, that the gold
ring of New York, that embraces
nearly all the bankers in tho eastern
and middle states aud the stock gara-

of greenbacks and treasury notes tho

cashed In gold or silver, and, as they
all demanded gold, the gold in tho
treasury rapidly ran down. Tho
financial papers took up the cry of tho
country going to a sllvor basis, and
tho first premonltofy breezes of tho

Sheriff McFeron Sprung the
Death Trap,

Asks Forgiveness on the Gal
lows But Dies Hard,
A SPECIAL REPORT IS SENT
By a '"Journal" Reporter-Hung at
Kalama.
Special to The Jeurnal:
Albany, Or., Jan. 31. Lloyd Hry
son Montgomery was hanged nt7:14
In tho Jnil yard this morning. He ap
peared In good health aud met death
with apparent composure. Tho death
warrant was read at 7 o'clock, and ho
was escorted to tho scaffold by his
cousin and Sheriff McFerou, accom
panied by Rev. Snyder, of Browns
ville. "While a prayer was being de
livered, the doomed man was engaged
in examining tho rope and tackllngs.
Just as tho
11LA01C GAP WAB DHAWN
ho distinctly uttered: "Oh God, havo
mercy upon me, a poor sinner. Take
mo as I nm."
As tho sentence was finished a cock
on the building nbout 10 feet. away,
crowed twice. Sheriff McFeron
Bprung tho trap-door, and Montgomery
fell 0 1-2 feet. Tho ncclcwns broken,
and life was pronounced extinct In
12 1-2 minutes.
A CONFKSSION.
Montgomery slept last night from
1 o'clock till awakened at 4:30. A
cousin nnd fellow prisoner spent tho
morning in his cell exhorting nnd
coaxing for n confession. At 0:30 ho
wrote tho follewing:
"I did it. I nm guilty. God lmvo
mercy upon me. Tnko mo ns I am a
poor sinner. lain sorry for wlint I
have done. God do havo mercy upon
my poor soul. For my sake do, and
forgive those who are against me. Oh
God help the precious souls to see tho
way of sin. God, for my snko, do help
and guldo them through this life,
Amen."
It was a trying ordeal for Sheriff
McFeron. Ho was almost overcome
with emotion In reading tho dcatli
wurrant, but ho overcame It, and th
execution was performed without a
pith. Montgomery was u distant re
lative of tho sheriff's wife. On hear
ing tho death warrant tho victim's
face showed signs of despair mingled
with resignation, and ho feelingly
said: "I am sorry for what I have
done, and want you pcoplo to forglvo
mc. I hopo to meet you In Heaven."

physicians can make an examination
of his brain, nnd the body will lw

have objected to Interring tho body
In that vicinity. Its disposition lias
not as yet been determined upon. Dr.
Cuslck, of Sulcm, and Drs. Ellis
Davis, Maston and Starr, of Albany,
will make a critical autopsy of tho
brain.
His relatives refused to take posses

Battle Near Havana.
Havana, Jnn. 30' Tho sound of
what appeared to bo a serious engage
ment has been ho id between Seboru

lighting took place nt tho Saladrlgas
farm. Much Jlrlngor artillery was
distinguished und It Is supposed that
tho columns of Spanish troops com
manded by Colonels Cnnnclns nnd
Galbls have been engaged with tho
Insurgents under General Gomez, who
Is making for the province of Pinnr
del Rio to reinforce Jthc o Insurgents
under Antonio Mnceo.
Reports nro In circulation hero thai
Antonio Mnceo Is In 6oro straits, ills
following being senrco of both am
munition and provisions, nnd being
obliged to slaughter their horses to
cat. These reports arc not to bo
traced to any authoritative source,
and are in part based upon surmise.
Thero Is no doubt that Gomez Ib
making strenuous efforts to open a
way through tho military lino along
tho railroad from Havana to Bata
nabo, and It Is said Mnceo bus sent
several emissaries to Gomez appeal
ing urgently to him for succor. In
rcsponso to this appeal, Gomez lins
succeeded In passing tho military
line, but the authorities claim ho has
not been able to keep any lino of re
treat open for himself. Bo that as
'It-myfwiio" is -making- progress west
ward, olthcr with tho purposo of Join
ing Mnceo or of creating n diversion
In tho north and drawing off the
forces in pursuit of Macco, while
that leader works his way eastward
in tho south. Tho latter is regarded
as tho more probable course by ob
servers hero.
