FARWELL KNOCKED OUT.

Dick Oglesby Is Nominated For Senator. The Republicans Repudiate Their Senator. Blair Is Also Beaten in New Hampshire. A Chance That Don Cameron May Also Get Left. Uulo of Legislatures Political Gossip. Spkint.fi eld, 111., Jan. 13. At 10:23 tonight 'ex-Governor llichard J. Oglesby received the republican caucus nomination .for U. . senator, defeating Charles B. 'ranvell, the present incumbent. The result was quite a surpri.se. As the day opened the principal name mentioned in opposition to Far well was that of Opleslv, but later it was dropped to a certain extent, his friends discoverin a number of Greshain men, who, should (j'!' bv's boom become too pronounced, mi'lit favor Farwell. When the caucus met tonight every republican legislator vas present. Oglesby s men scored a victry at once in securing the election of Senator Fuller as caucus chairman. A motion by Mr. Terry was adopted to the eilect that republican members of the senate and house steering committees have entire charge ot the party in the coming contest. White of Whiteside was adJr-d to the committee. The following resolution was adopted unanimously: That the nominee of this caucus shall be ubiert to the coutrol of the steering committee, Who shall hare full power and authority to withdraw the name of eaoh nominee, when in their judstnent, the intereiU of the republican party demand such action. After some discussion an informal secret ballot was taken to ascertain the sense of the caucus on the eenatorship. When it was counted Chairman Fuller announced that Senfttor Hamer received 1 vote : exUepresentative Ross of LaSalle,2;Geu.John .Mc'ulta,3; C. J. Lindlay, 3; Walter Q. Grosham, 11; Charles B. Farwell, 32, and Kichard J. Oglesby, 45. A formal but e ret ballot was then ordered. It was soon coun.ed. The total number of ballots cat was one hundred. 1 lamer received 1; Ross, 1; Gresham, 4; Farwell, 30; Oglesby, 64. Chairman Fuller declared Richard J. Oslesby the nominee of the caucus. Crawford of Cook, oneof Farwell's friendo, moved that the nomination be made unanimous. Miller and Bass of Cook, seconded, and the nomination was made unanimous by a rising vote. Three cheers were given tor Uncle Dick, with hearty good will. Senator Fuller was made chairman of the joint steering committee. A telegram was sent to Governor Oglesby at Elkhart, III., notifying him of his nomination. Senator Farwell and Chairman Jones aLx sent congratulatory messages. Senator Farwell "was seen after the adjournment of the caucus and said: "From the sentiment I have met with among members here I have concluded tnat I am defeated because I am not a farmer and (with some bitterness) because I am guppowed to be a millionaire." The senator would not talk further. He left tonight for Washington via ChicakO. Gen. Palmer referring to the resolution conferring powers upon the steering committee said: "'It is a curious invitation to extend to an old party leader like Ogleaby, asking him to enter afieht under c ontrol of a committee that may desert him at any time." Senator "Wells presided at the democratic joint caucus tonight. He made a speech, in which lie referred in glowing terms to Gen. Palmer's record, both as a soldier and a private citizen. Speaker Crafts and Senator McDonald made short talks urging ujon members the necessity of obeying the instructions of the joint steering committee and attending every session of the assembly. All allusions to Palmer were greeted "with cheers. The position was assumed that he, having been unanimously nominated by the state convention last June no caucus could add to the strength of this endorsement. The fact ;hat F. M. 15. A. members have paid they will not vote for the "caucus nominee" of rither leading parties may have had something to do with this conclusion. A FARMER ON THE JUDICIARY. The Kaunas Speaker Mikes a Decided In. iteration. Topkk a, Kas., Jan. 15. "When the lower liouse of the general assembly met this uiornint: Jud?e Webb, a republican, puzL'ested that the time miaht be saved by dispensing with the roll-call, arguing that the speaker could by a glance determine whether a quorum was present. Speaker KlJer replied that the roll-call was the proper way to determine the presence of a quorum. Congress had tried other wavs, he said, but it had not been a success. After reading the jour nal the committees were appointed. Contrary to precedence, J. S. Doolittle, a farmer, was made chairman of the iudiciarv committee, instead of a lawyer. Republican lawyers aro the other memrMt . bersolthe comtnutee. jmisoian Kinos. pTich a.a had been expected from the alliance members, were introduced by scores today. Among them were bills to prohibit the voting of bonds by townships and counties to aid in the construction of railroads; providing for the taxation of TBilwavs according to asceseu valuation; providing for the election of railroad commissioners by a vote of the people, and exteiuline the time for the foreloeure of mortgages. Speaker Fbler introduced a bill providing for the abolition of all railroad msvs anil reducinsr the nassenrc r rate from 3 to 2 cents a mile. He a'so i t a tn trod urea a Dili roaming me io?s oi pnn :ir-al the penalty of usury. The senate cot into a wrangle over the proper disposition to make of bills introduced by the codifying, com nfittee appointed by Governor Humphrey at the iat session to revise the Btate laws. The senate finally adjourned for the day with "out m.iking disposition of the committee's report. A great deal oi dissatisfaction prevails over the report, and it is probable that the recommendations ot the committee will not be enacted into law. A state' convention of negroes has been called to meet on the 27th int. to discuss the educational laws of the ntate. The laws at present provide for separate schools for the whites and negroes. The obj-rt of the convention is to recommend that the law teso amended to admit oe groes to all of the schools. Kvery member of the legislature this morning found on his dek a printed cir cular letter signed "Committee." The writer states hinise-f to be a farmers' alliance man and advises the farmers' alii ante to abstain from holding a caucus on the senatorial question. The alliance members say that the circular was written by the republican etate central committee,

which, they eav. fears that the holding of

an alliance caucus will lessen Mr. Ingalls' chances for re-election. AFTER CAMERON'S SCALP. Tha Grangers Slay Yet Succeed In Dealing Hint. IIarhisburg, Pa., Jan. 15. At a caucus of the democratic senators today it was resolved to oppose the confirmation of any appointment sent in by Governor Beaver outside of aldermen, justices of the peace and notaries public. The republicans learning of this, did not call up any appointments in exe cutive session. A two thirds vote is necessary for confirmation and the republicans only have thir-tv-one out of the fifty senator. A republican caucus was held this afternoon, at which it was n solved to meet the issue as presented by the democrats. Several of the senators said that if the democratic program was carried out the republicans wauld refuse to confirm Gov ernor-elect Pattison'a cabinet or any of his appointments. lotn branches of the legislature today proceeded to the nomination of candidates for the IT. S. senatorship, balloting for which will take place on the Ltith inst. in the senate .1. J'onahl Cameron, the present incumbent, was the only nomineo upon the republican side. The democrats placed in nomination State benator Ross of Rucks county, and the Hon. Channcev F. Black of York county. In the house, after Cameron, Ross and Black had been nominated Mr. McGuire (rep) of I e laware county placed in nomination Austin L. Taffgart of Montgomery county. In a sieech following the nomination, Mr. Mc Guire said he was "confident of being able to defeat Cameron now that Taggart had the grangers at his back." A RED-HOT ROW. The Speaker Removed Amid the Greatest Confusion. Denver, Col., Jan. 15. The row in the lower house of the legislature begun on Friday was renewed yesterday. The motion to adopt the journal of Friday which contained the appointment of house committees was defeated by the combine after two hour's tillibustering. The party then moved an adjournment, which was declared carried, though the utmost com motion and calls of roll-call and yeas and nays were made. Before the members could leave the house Brown, the leader of the combine, moved that the positi n of speaker of the house be declared vacant. He announced the motion carried by a vote of L'S to 21. White of Custer county, was then chosen speaker and in the greatest confusion the house adjourned. The governor has been called upon to take action in the matter and serious trouble is feared tomorrow. "Will Support mil. Dexter, Jan. 16. A letter has been re ceived from Senators Teller and Wolcott saying that, although Hill's nomination as a member of the monetary commission was intended as a direct affront to them by the president because of their course on the silver bill, and while they could easily defeat confirmation of the nomination, vet in the interest of the silver cause tney will not oppose his confirma tion, for if Hill wa9 rejected some monometalleet might take his place. They urge a speedy settlement of the troubles in the Colorado house. The chamber of commerce adopted a resolution in favor of the free-coinage bill and deploring the fact that it has been made a party question. Police Inspector 1 law ley, who was shot yesterday morning by Harry McCoy, during a discussion over" the present legislative troubles, died at noon. The two warring factions of the house of representatives have fai'ed to vet reach an amicable settlement of their differences. This morning the "combine" met in the legislative hall at 9 o'clock and without transacting any business adjourned until tomorrow. The Hanna crowd met in the same hall half an hour later and adjourned till 3 o'clock this afternoon. The voting strength of the factions still remains: Combine, 28; Hanna men, 21. In the Minnesota Senate. St. Tavl, Minn., Jan. 1G. In the state senate today Mr. Sanborn introduced a resolution providing that the standing committee of finance bo directed to investigate and report to the senate w hat change in the administration of the 6tate government, and what conditions and policies have made it necessary to increase the amount of money raised by taxation from ?:XH,7t;f.7! in 185 to $l,4SX,9:iO.G2 in lS'.K) as appears by the report of the state treasurer, and whether the government can be properly administered w ithout a deficit in the treasury. Other bills were introduced for creating a board of immigration, and enacting legislation relative to railroads. The alliance members have hung up two appointments which do not suit them. Governor Pack Inaugurated. Madison-, Wis., Jan. 15. Both houses of the legislature with the justices of the supreme court and state officers assembled in joint convention today and listened to the reading of the governor's message. It was one of the shortest ever delivered. It recommends economy in state expenditures, abolishment of the board of state charities and reforms, state timber agents and game wardens; passage of the law covering interests on state funds with state treasury ; law for semi-annual payment of taxes: the repeal of the Bennett compulsory pchool law; laws for improvement of the national guard and an appropriation for a world's fair exhibit. I'olltlcal Notes. Governor Thayer has finally vacated the executive oflices at Lincoln and Governor Boyd is in possession. New Hampshire republicans nominated J. II. fiallinger for senator, defeating Senator Blair. The New York Ftate farmers' league adopted a platform. It does not differ materially from all alliance platforms. Powell Clayton has resigned as chairman of the Arkansas republican committee and is succeeded by Henry M. Cooner. M. W. Gibbs (colored) is made secretary. NINE DROWNED. Foolhardy People I-ose Their Lives on the Seine. Pahis, Jan. in. A terrible accident, by which nine foolhardy persons lost their lives, occurred here today. The Seine, with the exception of the center of the river, has been frozen over for some time past. Yesterday the whole river was covered with ice, the middle of the Btream, however, being hidden by what the police judged to be dangerously thin ice. Consequently, the authorities forbade people to attempt to crons the river, and the police were instructed to enforce the order. In spite of this, a number of venturesomo men and boys attempted to cross the Seine on the ice. Ah they neared the middle of the stream the ice gave away, and .precipitated a crowd of people into the freezing water. ine persons are known to have been drowned.

SOME FADS AND FOIBLES.

'nan'ct'i r.niP nc thf m ft nn doi tc What the Women Are Running To The Latest Ilracelet New Gowns and "Get-l p." The Affable Lady People 11 est to Avoid. New York, Jan. 10. Copyrighted. If you saw the smart girl of the period on the street just at present in New York, you would say she had cut her hair, and you would be properly indignant with her for doing this; but she hasn't. She is simply like the children, she is making believe. Instead of that she has taken her back hair, curled the ends of it, tied it with ribbon, and has it pinned up in such a way, such an insidiuous way, that she has managed to fool you just as 6he has a good many other people. If there is one thing in this world that a man objects to it is a woman having short hair, ami I must confess that I agree with him about this; but when she can gain the rather youthful effect without having her locks, like Sampson's, sacrificed, then she is to be applauded. The woman w ho can gain the eflect without breaking any of the by-laws of femininity is the woman who is going to get along in the world. No end of fashionable girls are having their band bracelets taken apart and the jewels s. t in gold fillets for the head. But the other girl, who doesn't propone to sacrifice her jeweled bands to a popular fancy, is calmly and complacently enough wearine those of imitations. In reality, paste is always to be deplored, but when it comes to setting real diamonds, real rubies or emeralds in a Hat band of sold that is iu vogue today and may be forgotten tomorrow, nobody can deny that the woman who wears the imitation is for once in her life wise. To bo thoroughly in the fashion, as far as jewelry is concerned, you must cover the third and little fingers of each hand with as many gems as you possess, or as wi 1 reach up to the knuckle. We are nothing if not Kgvptian, and as the gentle Cleopatra and her numerous girl friends, who are now interesting mummies in the British Museum, had their hanis decorated in this fashion, it becomes necessary that we should do likewise. The butterfly with which Cleopatra's drapery was fastened is beinsr imitated in many colors and made to form a broad girdle. The effect is really extremely picturesque. Hid it ever occur to you that while they wore the sacred bird and the sacred Hower on their heads in Egypt, there seems to be no record of hats? Pid they go out in the burning sun and never wear any hats, or did they stay at home all the time, and have everything come to them? And will you please tell me how Cleopatra's could Lave been a joyous life, unless she liad a new Easter bonnet? To be sure, Easter wasn't in vogue then, but there must have been something that corresponded to it, I am sure Eve made a bonnet of violets, and tied it on with ribbon grass that was in perfect harmony witn her ris leaves and the delicate ferns that formed the fringe on the edge of them. It has always seemed to me that Eve was a woman of more or less good taste, else she wouldn't have chosen the fig leaf shade for her first gown, unless she had been sure it was suited to her skin and eyes. The stud' of Egyptology is like the measles, you never know how it is going to end. It has forced me back through centuries of women to Eve, and at present I am looking for the most accurate account of the woman before Eve. Lililh. It would seem as if in the glorious days of the pat (I believe that is the proper way to speak of them; that womankind was given to express itself; repression was an unknown thing. If you disliked anybody you had them thrown in the river, or poisoned, or stabbed; and if you liked anybody, vou adorned them with the wealth of the world. People about whom you didn't care a sou you simply let tret along as best they could, and political economy and the labor question were things that troubled nobody. I think that would have been the most comfortable time to have lived. Woman, good, bad, or indifferent, 6eemed to run everything, and Ciesars and Mark Antonys were lying around loose, waiting to be trod upon. Wo have changed all that now; the average man goes to an evening affair, gobbles up all the terrapin and champagne he can reach, brings a woman a piece of pink ice cream and a glass of claret cup that tastes like castor oil and shoo polish and lemons mixed together, and then wonders that she isn't satistied, and he says American women demand too much. " I would like to see him help an English girl to her supper. She would eat right straight through the menu, naver let him get a mouthful, force him to cut up her bird for her, and then, if he mopped his fevered brow, she would say she was afraid young Jones had been drinking a little too much, when, Kerhaps, the truth of it was young Jones ad been working too hard. "The average man here has gotten an idea that the av erage woman doesn't want anything to eat, that her delicate appetite is one of hercharms; but the sooner he pets that notion out of his head, the more certain wiil he be to see good-looking women, healthy women and happy women. So-called high living agrees with women much better than it does with men. It makes women beutiful, and it makes men beasts. That sounds a little harsh, but I regret to eay it is true, for a man who is a slave to his stomach, who is intemperate in what he eats, is much less agreeable than the man w ho is intemperate in what he drinks. For the last takes various phases, and the first takes but one, dyspepsia. 1 f you have ever had a man about you who has had dyspepsia, you will not onlv believe in a personal devil, but in fire and sulphur and everything that the presbvtenan church teaches. Only mm istcrincr anirela can satitdv him, and the only thing for him to do is to get himself to a sanitarium and let the doctor;! inocti late him vwith deadly poison, for he is. a blot on the face of the earth. The new evening dreses are all in cloth. It can not be denied that they have the virtue of originality, and then, too, the slight train falls cracefullv, the figure thows to good advantage, and a softrather than a glaring or starry euect, such as is apt to be produced by silk or brocades, is ?roduced. One of the smartest worn lere was at a New Year's eve party, one where evervbodv blotted out nitietv and greeted ninetv-one with "a cold bottle and another one,' and as if it were a prodigal eon. The frock was of black broadcloth, with a train which was just long enough to be graceful, and which fell from under an elaborate jet arrangement in the back, The frot.t was a square tablier finished at the edgt with a deep f ord and jet fringe, while the bod co was a draped one elabo rately covered with jet. It was cut out in V fashion, and had the latest novelty in collars upon it that is to say, a high Medici one lined with feathers and made heavy on the outer side with jet. The sleeves reached to the elbow and were finished with a jet cuff that came over the long black gloves as if it might bo a brace let. The stockings and slippers were black, and the crnament3 were diamonds. The

fan wps a black feather one having its tortoise shell sticks inlaid with diamond, and fastened to it was a gold lorgnette, the case of which wns also tbicklv studded

with diamonds. The youmr woman who wore this frock gave one the curious impression of being some sort of a crawling creature, not exactly the serpent for she hadn't the colors for that, but as if she might be first cousin to a bat and Iter wings were . lost. Ixoked at from the fashionable standpoint it was a thor oughly smart set-up and had an air of individuality that, while it was marked, was not aggressive, lhats the secret ot good dressing, to be individual without being bizarre. Among the old fashions coming in, bru nettes who are wearing their hair low stick a large white rose or a w hite camellia in one side, and women whose faces are young enough wear the wreath of roses that our grand mothers used to sine about. A wreath, ho'A ever, is a dangerous thing to wear. If it gets a little to oue side, you have the most absolutely depraved air imagmaDie, ana nouung ever eirucK me as quite so funny as a Boman senator on the stage," whoso wreath had gotten a little oil, and w ho had a great air of wishing to paint the town red instead of liking to drink mock wine out of property goblets. On Decoration day they invariably put a wreath on lieoree W aihington ; it invari ably slips to one side, and then George looks as if he was out on a terrible tear. Yon can believe any of the little stories you have heard about the father of your country, and you can leei tnat it no couldn't tell a lie the chances were that there were lots of other gav things he could do. So in putting on your wreath see that it is arranged in a strictly Yere-de-V ere lashion. Somebody has been writing a long letter alout the aflable woman. Now, if there is one woman on the face of the earth w ho is to be despised with a seventeenth-century hatred, she is the one. She makes you feel while she is talking to you she is being bo nice and so agreeable, and so altogether charming, and that she is sure you apprec iate it, that you leel as ii you would be willing to be blown up yourself if a can of dynamite was standing hear that could extinguish her. The ail'ablo woman is as far from the agreeable woman as one polo is to the other, and the affable woman has the effect of the north pole upon you. She is so intensely pleasant until you freeze and freeze until you don't know whether you ure a lamj-iost or a w oman. The agreeab'e woman is simply a natural woman with tact. The alia I le woman is one who is neither agreeable nor has tact, but wants to impress you with her affability ; but if you have any sense at all refuse to be impressed and be as abominable as you can remind her how her dressmaker has gone off in her fit, how the wrinkles are beginning to show on her face do anything, in short, that will extinguish the affability, for then you will be serving your fellowman. She is the sort of woman who parades all around, dragging people up to other people on the plea that they ought to know each other; now, most of us who ought to know people usually manage to make our desire known to some one we think proper, and no man, woman or' ghost wants to be hauled around by the a ft able woman because she thinks she is doing her duty and forming society. She is enough to make anybody turn a hermit. She is so interested in your affairs that she forgets sometimes and asks very impertinent questions; usually her victims are so impressed by her manner that they answer before they know what they are about, and then when they get home they have to spend all their money to get a messenger boy to swear for them because of their truthtelling. An aflable woman once asked me how much I made a week, and I was so used to telling the truth that I. gave myself away; and thouglf live years have gone by since that time. 1 am still paying messenger boys eo much a year for saying wicked words for me, and inducing all the men 1 know, especially those who belong to the artistic and Bohemian fraternity, to devoting five minutes a day to expressing themselves in a highly colored manner. As you live, beware of the affable woman ; when you are dead it doesn't much matter, though she is pretty certain to come to your funeral and do the affable act at that. One of them once shook hands over the collin of a dead man, she was so glad fo see another woman! There are other people to beware of as well as the affable woman. Beware of the man who wauts to kiss you because he knew your mother before she was married. Beware of the w oman who wants to use your name at the dressmaker's. Beware of the man who works hard ten davs, is in an ill temper all the time, and only amiable when he is lazy. Beware of the children who know more than their fathers and mothers. Beware of the books that are nasty and stupid. Beware of the people who tell the truth at all times, because the truth is like a sweet nut it is sometimes better covered with sugar and put away in a bon-bon box ; then let come man wifh a lantern go around looking for it. It gives the men something to do, and preserves the truth. Beware of the people who are ready and willing to do L.erything for vou they are usually the ones who wouVln't walk from here to the corner to oblige you, and who will regard you es a material doormat, on which to throw off the dust ot their shoes. Beware of the dog that never barks he is going to bite some day, and, when he does, it will hurt. " Bab. HOVEY'S MESSAGE. The Democratic Prea of the Hate Hits It Hani.

PROSPECTS FOR SILVER

EAGERLY DISCUSSED ON ALL SIDES. Reed Will Not Assume the Responsibility ot lefeat!g the Bill Shlrely On the Subildy Scheme Tha Sur lionntjr Capital Notes. "Wasiiixotov, Jan. 10. Pending action of some kind in the house on the silver bill, the active discussion of the question has subsided and members of the house are awaiting developements. The coinage committee has the key to the situation at present and the general disposition is to give the committee an opportunity to show what it mean to do before making predictions or outlining the course to be pursued in the future. Some ellort is making on the part of the gold adherents to have the bill kept in committee, but the silver men are sanguine as to their ability to defeat such a move. At least two of the democratic members of the committee are gold standard men. and each side shows them great consideration in tho present condition of affairs.' With their assistance, the silver men could order a report made to the house, and it is asserted that this will be done without much delay, though it is not contended that these democrats will commit themselves to vote for the bill, but merely that they will agree to secure consideration for it. The speaker entertertains the same views as ever on the question of free coinage, but there is reason to believe that he is not prepared to go to the most extreme measures in order to prevent the matter coming up, and to bear the burden of disatisf action which would thereby be created in the silver win? of the republican party. Moreover, Mr. IJed has said that be wns by no means sure of successfully fulfilling such a task this year, because ot" a chaugo in existing conditions, and oi u growing sentiment favorable.. to silver. The vacancy in . the coinage committee occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Conger (la.) has never been filled, and the sneaker has not yet determined what to do in the matter. The committee cannot meet before next Wednesday, and as the outlook before then may assume many phases, it is not likely there will be anything important determined on until the committee has another meeting. ShoUld there be a failure to report a bid, there has been some talk of taking it out of ttie committee's hands by a vote in the house, but this would be an unusual course, and one in which there might be sufficient opportunity for delay to kill silver legislation. There is some talk among the republicans of the advisability of getting together on the silver question in the interest of party supremacy, but tho prospects of such agreement arn remote, for -the radical silver men sy they will not abide by any caucus action on thi question. If there were assurances that the measure would be signed they would probably willingly accept free coinage of the American proiuct with a heavy seignorage on foreign silver, as a compromise, but the majority of the democrats are understood to be opposed to anything save unlimited free coinage, and a olii republican vote cannotbe secured for any compromise. While it is imjiossible to obtain an authoritative statement from the president in regard to the senate silver bill, it is intimated very broadly bv gentlemen who have conversed with him on the subject, that he is very much dissatisfied with the measure in its present 6hape, and that he will certainly veto it unless it undergoes a material modification before it is submitted to him for action. He is in entire accord with Secretary Windom on the subject and the latter's opposition to the free coinage of silver is a matter of record. SHIVELY ON SUBSIDIES. Indiana's 3Iember Makes a Fine Argauient Agalaet tlie Hill. In the house a resolution was adopted permitting the silver pool investigating committee to eit during the session. Tho house then went into committee of the whole, ostensibly on the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Mr. Rogers (Ark.), after paying' his respects to parliamentary law, as recognized by the speaker, passed on to a brief discussion of the free coinage bill. He appealed to the republican majority not to ask once more the distinguished speaker to assume any further responsibility in reganl to the silver question. When in the history of the country had a speaker ever met the demands of" his party more bravely or more courageously than had the present speaker, or more disastrously? Had it come to this that after the speaker hal suffered the terrible penalty resulting from the responsibility thrust upon him by party caucus that his party would ask him to make himself further sacrifices? He (Mr. llogers) submitted to the gentlemen on the other side that if there was further responsibility to be borne on this silver question it 6hould be borne by a gentleman at the other end of the avenue and by those w ho opeuly and boldly denounced free silver. Quoting from Mr. Ingalls' speech, in which he denounced the demonetization act of 1873, Mr. lingers said that some people had accused the senator 'with crawling on his belly to acquire popular favor. He did not believe that the senator did so, but if he did he crawled to the sound principles of democracy, and he (Mr. Rogers) warned his republican friends who threw obstacles in the way of the free coinage of silver that they would have to crawl ia the dust before they could get back into popular sympathy and favor. Mr. Shively (Ind.) spoke in opposition to the shipping bill. License this interest, he said, to prey on the public revenues and it would overawe congress and lausti at tho limitation of the law. It would sacrifice millions to renew its lease and perpetuate its power. It would subsidiie party organizations, dictate partv platforms, comuiand nominations and enlist every venal newspaper in the land in its service. It would elect presidents, choose representatives and invade state capitals iu order to purchase tools in the U. S. senate. It would project its debaiiching influence in every department of the government and infect with its leprous corruption every fibre of our national life. The general principle underlying the subsidy system was inherent y vicious and unconstitutional, alien to our institutions. No genius could give it grace, no magic could impart to it righteousness. Mr. Lantston (Ya.) made a speech in support of the force bill. No progress was made with the bdl and, the committee having arisen, the house took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening sestion to be for the consideration of private pension bills. That Silver Pol. The silver pool investigation committee held a preliminary session this morning for the purpose of arranging a plan ot proceedure. The session was secret," but future meetings will be with open door. The resolution under which the committee is acting and tho newspaper . publication which were made the basis of the resolution were read over and discussed. The committee adjourned after directing subpoenes to be issued for MtPtsrs. Stevens and Apperson. the two Washington cor

respondents of the St. I-ouis Glotr-Demf-crat, which paper made the orieinal charge. The principal question considered by the committe in its secret session was as to I its power to com pel the attendance and testimony of witnesses. The conclusion reached "was an affirmative one. The ' committee held that as the charge made substantially imputed bribery to members and constituted an ofTense for which members could be exelled from the house, the constitution conferred power with which to compel testimony to be given.

on suirar produced between May 31 and July 1, lS'.M. Altera full discussion of the question, the attorney-general says the sugar produced between May ?, and July 1. entitled to bounty under the act, is sugar of domestic manufacture, and that j the only sugar of domestic manufacture . produced between thedstes given is map e j suzar. To pay a bounty on maple sugar j and not on other sugars, he holds, was i not the intentiou of congress, for to do so j would be payinsr a bounty for fifteen years on maple sugar and a bounty of fourteen j j t-ars on all - other sutrnrs, which are iot j produced in the sprinir. but which mature j in the summer and fail. "It seems then." concludes the attorney-general, "that it 1 was not intended that bounties should be i demandable on sugars produced prior to I the 1st day of July next." I'oaalbly an I.lr. Sctt'tin.
