ESPECIAL TO TIE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-In the Senate
yesterday. Sherman called up his resolu-
ton for the report Of James F. Melyine,
ON alleged frauds in the Treasury Depart
ment under Sherman.
Farley moved to include the testimony
taken during the investigation.
Dawes and Sherman opposed the amend
ment, which was lost, % to 81, and the
resolution was adopted.
Davis OF Illinois voted with the Repub-
licans.
Mcpherson presented the petition OF
certain members of the New York Legis-
lature against the titles of Lapham and
Miller to their seats. Referred to the
Election Committee.
After a brief executive session the Sem
ate adjourned.
The report called for by the Senate yes
terday will be interesting reading matter,
but By no means legal proof, some of it
being the nearest gossip. The other parts
are, however, of a dangerous character.
Many Democrats think the Republicans
made a mistake in voting against calling
for the testimony taken during the Treas
ury investigation, and they will call the
attention of the whole country to this vote,
as one intended to suppress the facts. They
will introduce another resolution which
will bring on a discussion. The Assistant
Secretary will accompany the report with a
defense of himself.
How the Winter Opens at the East.
New YORK, Oct. 22.-The Times says
We shall open the Winter with almost
every kind Of household necessaries dearer,
and every producer is suffering under
| short crops. The drouth has cost this
country hundreds Of millions of dollars,
and reduced the purchasing capacity Of the
large classes. 1t is not improbable that
this severe blow will give the first check to
the wild speculation which is going on in
stocks, products and railroad securities.
The shock was sure to come, and 1t will be
first felt by the most uncertain values,
such as the enormous extension OF railA
roads in the South. High prices and hard
times will enforce q call for the readjust-
ment Of the tariff. Thu former, who has lost
this year so per cent of his products, and
has not as yet been able to recover himself
by higher prices, will begin seriously to

what to do with.
The German and French visitors
|. Amusing Themselves.
CHICAGO, Oct. pa Times Richmond
special says: The German and French
visitors are not yet wholly at peace while
waiting for the carriages, being delayed
accidentally at the depot here. They went
to the wharf In order to Amuse them
selves. The Germans commenced throw
ing silver pieces in the river. Ths French,
determined not to be outdone in this di-
version, threw fve-dollar bills and gold
coins into the water with lavish hands.
This costly sport was kept up for some
time. A crowd OF negroes gathered about,
and for q few moments they were bewil-
dered by the utter disregard OF the value
OF the root OF all evil. The dsrkies, how
ever, quickly saw that II 10 other good
resulted from this jealousy between Cham
baus and Won Steubens 1t was likely to
prove q bonanza for them. They jumped
into the stream and Owed for the gold and
silver pieces which had been 80 lavishly
discarded by the French and Germans.
As rapidly as the money was thrown from
the boats the negroes dived to the bottom
and rescued it. This foolishness did not
last long.
