THE DEFICIENCY BILL IN THE SENATE.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS CoNTENDINo WITH EACH
OTBER-THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN TO STEAL THE
PREsIDEHCY-THE WORLDS FAIR BILL
The Immediate Deficiency bill was or
dered to third reading IN the Senate yester-
day. without a political debate, greatly to the
surprise of the Democrats. A debate, however,
will precede the passage of the bill to-day.
An amen iment offered by Mr.. Blaine to allow
the employees of the Public Printing
Office the same holidays as are enjoyed
by the clerks in the Departments, led
to somewhat acrimonious debate between
Republican Senators. The Democratic plan
to steal the Presidency by giving seats Of
Republican Representatives to Democrats, is
being carefully matured. No important re-
port has been submitted by the Sen
ate Pensions Committee. There has been
great waste of public money in printing the
Kellogg-Spofford testimony.

THE IMMEDIATE DEFICIENCY BILL.

DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S AVOIDING DEBATE-THE
BILL TO DE PASSED TO-DAY-THE COURSE OF
THE REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S.
lBy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNB.l
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The General Deficiency
bill was carried to It's third reading this afternoon
the Republicans having moved to strike out the gene
raj legislation attached to the Marshas clause. and
recorded their votes upon It, The political debate,
TO take place tomorrow. will be followed by the
immediate passage of the bill.
Orders have been promulgated tonight to all
Democratic Senators to keep their mouths shut to-
morrow, and not allow themselves to be provoked
into any debate whatever. Senator Eaton will be
master of ceremonies, and discrete selection
could not have been made. Republicans will find it
vain to attempt to draw him out, when he does not
wish to be drawn out. Whether he will be able to
inspire his associates with the same power of self
control is problem to which attaches considerable
interest.
The fact that the Republicans did not seek to de-
bate the political features upon this bill, when the
motion to strike off the rider was pending, as it
was expected they would do, was matter of con-
siderable surprise to the Democrats. The reason
which led the Republicans to postpone the debate
derstOod to be belief that If the faults of the
political portions painted out, the Democrats
would seek to amend it, The Republicans were de-
termlned that the rider passed at all the Demo-
Gratis should be responsible not only for ITS sub
stance but it's language. The course taken by the
Republican Senators was decided upon in caucus
last night.

Another New Church

The Free Methodists who recently dis
posed of their lots at the corner of Con-
stitution street and Seventh avenue, have
purchased property in South Emporia,
at the corner of Commercial street and
South avenue, and are preparing to
erect an edifice there during the coming
fall. 1t is CLAIMED that this location has
been selected in view of the great neces-
sIty of church in that part of the city,
as it is we'll known that with two excep-
tions, all the houses of worship in the
city are located north of the railroad.
The church will be open at least once a
Sabbath for the occupation of mission
Sunday school, which it is the purpose
of the Free MethOdists to organize, and
once possessed of a citidel in South En-
poria it is the purpose Of this aggressive
people to wage vigorous warfare
against the hosts of sin in that locality
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Ely, will present
the claims of this undertaking to the
citizens of Emporia in person, and as the
moral interests of the community are
involved in his success, we trust that he
may meet with the encouragement req
uisite to the cOnsUmmatian Of this
worthy project.

The Water Ouestlon.

The wafer IN the public well has been
reduced to such an extent that in many
places in,the upper portion of the city,
the supply has almost entirely failed
The council are at present engaged in
devising some plan by which this trouble
mag be 0lylRted, and the water supply
be rendered adequate To the present and
future demands of the city. The ques.
ton of deepening the present well has
been considered, and the plan seems to
meet with the favor of the city fathers
Another proposed solution of the prob.
lem is 10 dig second and larger we'll,
which, it is thought by some Would sup
ply the present deficiency. The com
nleXIty of the situation Is intensified by
the fact that the city has on its hands an
Injunction suit restraining theme from
going TO the river for water, which in
our judgment, is the only adequate
source of supply that can be obtained
The case cGnnot be decided before Sep.
tenlber, and if the present dry weather
continues, the well is likely 10 fail long
before that time. We learn that an ex.
animation is being made to-day of the
stratum of gravel which forms the
bottom of the well, and If ii proves to
contain water IN such quantities. as to
| justify the undertaking thereservoir will
be sunk at least four feet deeper.
Meanwhile, water takers should sui
ficiently appreciate the difficulties OF The
| present condition of affairs to exercise
all possible economy in the consump
ton of water and the temper of oul
citizens should be TO lend all pos
sible aid to a satisfactory settlement
| of this veXed question.
