Washington, Feb. A. The finance committee of the senate has agreed to report for the houso tarltf bill a sub- stltuto providing fur tho free coinage of silver. The substitute was sug gested by Setmtor Vest, and agreed to by a mnjorlty of one, Senator .Tones, of Nevada, voting with the Democrats for tho substitute, and all tho Repub lican? present voting against It. Tho substitute agreed to is in oxact word? the silver substitute for the bond bill which passed thusenalcSaturday. It provides for tho free coinage of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1. WHAT THE SUnSTITUTK 18. Tho bill directs tho Immediate coin age into standard dollars of tho silver seigniorage in tho treasury, accumu lated by purchases under the Sherman act; prohibits tho Issuance of national batik notes of smaller denomination tnun 910; directs tho secretary of tho treasury to redeem greenbacks and treasury notes In cither gold or silver exclusively at tho option of the secre tary, and to rc-lssuo tho greenbacks. When tho substitute for tho tariff bill was read In tho senate Quay moved to recommond tho bill and substitute back to the. finance com- mlttco with Instructions to report tho original bill and tho amendment separately. Tho finance committee's report proved a complete surprlso to tho silver Republicans, and was un favorably received by them. Thoy immediately began a movement to havo two propositions, the tariff and and silver, separated, and will gener ally support Quay's motion to this effect. Mitchell, of Oregon, said: "It is a Democratic move to defeat thctttrlff. I won't vote for it." IN THE HOUSE. As was expected, action on tho sen ate substitute for tho house bond bill was taken by the committee on ways and means today. Crisp moved that tho committee recommend to the house to concur in the sonata amend ment. On tho vote all Republicans voted no, and so did two Democrats Turner and Tarsney. TnE FARMERS ALLIANCE The National Farmers Alliance and Industrial union meet hero today. While tho leaders of tho Alliance havo long hold that tho organization is non political, It is understood that great pressure Is being brought to bear to havo resolutions adopted which will bring the Alliance as a body into the financial tight on tho silver side. It claimed that the Alliance is stronger than ever before in its history. PRINT THE RECORD. The Salem Journal challenges the Orcgonian to print the records of tho last legislature, that tho public may decide who broke the pledges. Ex change. We predict they will never print it, They will print nil fiorts of garbled reports, but never the record itself. The record is. fatal to some of the Oregoulan's strikers, and tho old Portland ring don't want it done. We can't afford to lose a good man because of some of bis minor idiosyn crasies. We ought not to ostracise a good neighbor and citizen because he may believe In sprjnullng for admis sion to church privileges Instead of immersion. Tho silver question is practically Involved in, and will be settled ty a return to the true "Amer ican policy," protection, and Mitchell Is aa able protectionist. Ho will do. Rowpurg Plalndealer. AUDIENCE. Greets Howard Catleton Tripp In His ! rir(4 1,j.r.W1ftr A7rrl?. 1 WWW. ... ..W.. A flno audience greeted Howard J Curlcton Trippof Iowa, at his first week day meeting nt the First M. E. Church, considering tho stormy oven- lng. Itwnsn splendid nnd Intelli gent audience, and, before the speaker had talked ten minutes those present were thoroughly responsive to his platform appeals. " Beforo half an hour was over all were satisfied that '.the Iowa temper ance cyclone had struck them. If hewcro In iffo only to make money he would quit at once and go back to Ills homo lnjlowa, wrlto books or publish his newspaper. Hut money was secondary to derating humanity to a higher plane of living. A man at the town' of Buttovllle. who wasa total abstainer and a church member, still Insisted on growing P5 wn was noxmore respectnuio than kcenlnir a saloon, from the standpoint of Immunity and God's higher moral law, ; He soon became Intensely dramatic as ho proceeded nnddicld tho breath less attention of tho' mixed audlenco of men, women nri'd children. Ho said an ingnornmus or a parsimonious man seldom or never fell a victim to drink. Ho showed tho composition of liquors, as analyzed by Dr. Cox, tho Now York government, chemist, that would nauseate any intelligent man's stomach. Ills depletion of the analysis of a drunkard's brain was as lurid as the flames, hosald, that mounted from the fluids that flowed out of that brain when a match was touched to them. Ills recitations from his own poems aro Interspersed with eloquent appeals to tho young to abstain from drink. Ills glances backward and forward over tho horoscopo of lives ho know, and who havo fallen into liquor, were dramatic and entertaining. Thoro wero a largo number of peo ple who would never go into a temper ance organization. It was not popu lar enough. There wero people who were so loaded down with social and religious duties that they could do nothing for humanity. There had been two .templar's lodges in Salem but now only ono was working. This order had 8,000,000 members enrolled In all since 1851, and 400,000 drunkards redeemed. It had today 800,000 members in good stand ing. It was practical. It was n step ping stono to tho church. Tho time would como when tho man who would sell liquor would be ns little thought of as a man who would soil slaves. At a certain point in tho address, temperance workers went through tho audlenco and enrolled nil who had over been in tho order or would join, and each ono of Mr. Tripp's mcotlngn be comes tho nucleus of a now lodge. His work is done in so thorough and conscientious n manner that It gener ally endures and is not transient in its character. Tho power, strength and eloquence of his addresses was fortified by facts, such as that GO per cent of all Oregon convicts attributed their downfall to strong drink. About 80 per cent of nil criminals wero men addicted to tho usoof liquors. Tho speaker closed in an eloquent peroration in behalf of temperance and the clasping of hands of all friends of temperance. Ills hearers wero In fluenced, ns an audlenco seldom has been in this city, to expressions of sympathy and enthusiasm. Did our government rest upon its state houses, courts, prisons and asylums? No. It rests on its chris tian citizenship. Keep tho homo pure, clean and wholesome and the nation would grow in uprightness, moral power and truo christian civil ization. Mr. Tripp speaks again to night. Republican Cluba. Portland, Feb. 4. Tho stato con vention of Republican clubs met this forenoon, after tho appointment of tho usual committees a recess till 1 p. m. was taken. ONLY ELECTS OFFICERS. When the convention reconvened this afternoon the committee on cre dentials reported that tho principal interest of the convention centers in tho election of ofllccrs, it being gen erally understood that no question of party policy will be brought before tho convention. Candidates for pres ident ore J. O. Lcttsure, and O. II. Carey both of Portland. President Beekmandocs not desire a re-election. A no v constitution will also bo brought before tho convention for adoption. Too silver question was quickly dis posed of this uf teruoon by the unaul mous adoption of a resolution, re ported by the committee on order of business, declaring that no expression of party policy shall be mado by the Republican leaguo club.

A SUCCESSFUL INVASION The Insurgents Keop Out of the Way of tho Enemy, Havana, Feb. -J. Insurgents under tho leadership of Nunez attacked a detachment of Spanish troops while tho lattor wero repairing tho railroad between Espornnzu and .TIcotea.ln the province of Santa Clara. They mado n gallant, defenso, and lost Lieutenant Edunrdo Borgcs. Ono sergeant and fourteen soldiers were killed and had live wounded. YESTERDAY'S ENOAOEMKNT. General Murln has had nu engage ment with a body of insurgents that ho reports to bo tho main force tinder Gomez, and that wns put to flight with a loss of 20 killed. Tho entire absence of details as to tho number of insurgents 1n the body attacked leaves some ground for doubt as to whether It was, In truth, Gomez's Immediate following. Pretty1 much tho whole of tho com bined columns under General Marin Including 1700 cavalry, seem to havo been engaged. This force was equip ped with n special ylew to running down and cornering tho Insurgents, once It should como faco to face with them, and great expectations were founded on Its supposed ability to do this. But tho report of today's en gagement, although It indicates that tho attack was mado with great dash and vigor, seems to Indicate that tho insurgents were as successful In evading tho Spanish forces as thoy havo been at any time heretofore. The St. Paul Afloat. New York, Fob. 4. Tho steamer St. Paul was floated this morning, after being on tho sand about a week. TO SAVE ARMENIANS, Tho Porto Will Admit Anothor U.

It Is de nied that tho porta has refused to udmit a second dispatch boat for tho sorvlco of tho United States legation. Tho matter is not settled. Tho porto does not contest tho right of entry, but contends that tho moment for such reinforcement Is Inopportune. It hns beou much remarked in ofll- clal -circles that slnco tho rigorous action of United Slates Minister Tcrrill in behalf of tho American missionaries, ho alono is mentioned in tho court circulars as a guest nt court dinners. Tho Impression pre vails In diplomatic circle? that tho United States and Great Britain may eventually unite to save tho Ar menians. Kentucky Deadlock. Frankfort, Fob. 4.

It Is not generally known that soven years ago John rhlllp Sousn, then leader of tho Marino Band tit Wash ington, commenced, In co-operation with the United States Government, a collection of the national songs of tho world. A writer in St. Louis Post Dispatch says that tho Stato De partment sent out requests to nil tho nation? for their national and typical songs. When these arrived Sousa di vided them Into thrco classes. Tho first contained thoso which olllclul or popular voice had mado the principal patriotic nlrs of their respective coun tries; the second, thoso occasionally used In till? way ; and tho third, those typical songs Indigenous to tho people The whole collection contains nearly thrco hundred specimens, nud thrco years wero spent In arranging them. Tho national songs of United States, England, Franco and Germany arc, of courso, well known. Austria's na tional hymn was composed by Ilaydcn, says tho writer, after tho pattern of 'G0d Save tho King"; nnd tho na tional air of Zanzibar Is but a slight variation. Turkey has no national song, but, instead, certain hymns, called tho Bultau's hymn or prayer apparently changing with each rulorlTby tho state central committee at It? Syria's typical nlr Is written back wards, like tho Arabic. Tho Servian national song, "Rise, Servians!" Is very melodious, and ends curiously with a note hlghor than the keynote. San Marino a wee llttlo ropubllc, has tho longest of all national nlrs, it cover ing ten pages of note-paper. Tho Phlllpplno Islands havo a practically unlimited number of typical songs. The words aro generally Improvised for tho occasion, nnd changed without any attomptnt rhythm. Lapland has a curious rotndcer galop; and the na tional song of Jumlca Is said to be repeating tho llrst lino thrco times: "Monkey, monkey, play tho llldle Mako tho baboon dance." This is u great deal to bcl love, but If such words stir tho patriotism of the Jamaclans, It Just shows what coffee- drinking can do. But to return to our own country, only ono of tho various national songs Is said to bo of Amor lean origin in both words und music. This is "Hall Columbia." TERRORIZED BY A FIRE.
