From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, February 5.-Judge Kelley
threw out ieeler to-day to test the sense
OF the House on the Tariff bill and see II II
is possible to procure a 'two-thirds vote
upon IT,, hereafter. He made his motion
SO as to allow the House to cut off debate
on 1t at one week from to-day and bring IT
to vote. He received l29 votes to l02,
with the probability that the minority will
be increased as further votes takes place
upon the details Of The bill, and offend more
men who fail in taking care Of the special
interests in their district.
Governor Curtin expresses the opinion,
however, that there will be bill passed
this session, but the majority Of the mem.
bers are Of q far different way Of thinking,
among them Judge Kelley, who isprobably
correct in his judgement that the bill Is
now nearly hopeless.
Senator Morrill,, to-day informed the
Senate that they must pass the Tariff bill,
80 they can settle themselves down to q
steady grind.
One programme OF some leadlng hepuD-
licanstin the House Is to take the Senate
bill, II II. should pass, to strike out the
tariff part and try to get through the part
reducing internal taxes and let the tariff
20. Even the fate Of this is very doubtful.
The action Of the House in refusing by q
strict party vote 10 pass the legislative
appropriation bill to day, under suspen.
sion OF the rules, shows that the Republi.
cans need expect no material help from
that source In any tariff revision that
they may procure until there are from
eightto ten Democrats, headed by Ram
dali and Curtin, honestly desirous OF get
ting rid Of the matter at this session. They
cannot control the rank and flle OF the un-
washed Democracy who are doing gallant
battle for foreign interests, at all events
against the interests Of the American me-

PrrrsBuRoH, February ga Bradford,
Pa, special to the Dispatch says: A terri
bic disaster, attended by loss Of life, occur
red on the Buffalo, New York & Philadel-
phia railroad just north Of Hinsdale, this
morning. Train No. 5, bound for Buffalo,
consisting Of an engine, baggage and
smoking cars and day coach, only par
TALLY filled with passengers left olean, at
six o'clock. The great floods which visited
this section yesterday undermined and
greatly weakened the trest!e over 1schua
creek north OF Hinsdale and few miles
from Bradford. When the train entered
the bridge there was sudden and deafen-
ing crash Of timbers and flood, which
was within two feet OF the rail, swallowed
up the engine and tender, the baggage car
followed the engine and struck on Its end.
The smoker remained partially on the
bridge, but the passengers were terribly
shaken up. & ~
Early reports bad It that nineteen were
killed, but later dispatches place the mum.
Der at two. So great was the flood that
the locomotive bearing down In the ruins,
the engineer and fireman, disappeared
from sight. - IL
The Killed are as follows Sydney Hall,
Buffalo, engineer; Frank Briggs, Buffalo,
fireman, injured; A. 7. Lane, olean, N. Y,
conductor, seriously injured internally; A..
v. Tarrey, Ithica, N. Y, arm broken.
Several other passengers sustained slight
injuries. Another dispatch says the par
ticulars from the wreck are meagre, but
eight are known to be dead.

BY some process or other Of reasoning
the House Committee on Coinage yester-
day decided that "it is inexpedient to dis
continue the coinage Of silver under the
existing laws" Up to November !, 1882.
standard silver dollars to the value Of
$l2S,S29,SSO had been coined under the
act Of February 2s, 1873; less than thirty.
six millions were in circulation, and near
ly ninety.three millions were piled up In
the Treasury because nobody wanted
them. In a whole year, from November ],
1881, to November 9, 1882, the increase in
the number Of standard silver dollars in
circulation was less than million and
ahall, during which time $27,772,l75 had
been coined. This shows no great and
growing" demand for the silver dollar, but,
on the contrary, a cold unconcern with
respect to that coin. Under the law at
least two millions a month must be coined,
and four may be. In his recent annual
report tue Secretary Of the Treasury says:
III the coinage OF standard silver dollars
is kept up, it will be q serious question
where the Treasury Department will
End, In public receptacles, storage
room therefor" The Committee on Coin
age proposes to find way by constructing
such receptacles-put the people to the
expense of storing q dead weight Of metal
which must be coined because the law
says so and, being coined, must be stored
because It Is not wanted in circulation. An
average statemanship ought to be able to
deal with SO plain q problem.

Tarin Debate-what Visitor In the Gal.

Tariff Debate-WhRta Visitor In the Gal.
lery OF the House May See.
WASHINGTON, February 5.-Probably the
average newspaper reader, who regularly
skips the Washington dispatches on the
tariff debate, will not believe it, but it is
nevertheless fact that Congress-the
House at least-is seldom so interesting to
the spectator in the gallery as 1t is now.
The subject is dry one, except to those
who take a students interest in II, or to
those who know that the turning OF a Con.
gressman's hand may mean disaster to their
business for years to come. Some Of these
anxious men can be seen here and there in
in the galleries, poring over copies Of the
tariff bill and intently watching the
proceedings; and they look as II they
iound Congress anything but dull. But
those who have neither a natural or an
acquired interest in the subject like to
watch the debate also, for the reason that
Congress itself-perhaps 1t would be better
to say again the House-is so keenly in
terested. 1t is only now and then, and
then usually by chance, that the sightseer
in Washington comes upon stirring
scene in the House. Two members will
get into parliamentary squabble. There
Is "give and take" for few moments.
Members stop their letter writing at their
decks and listen, or break away from the
group OF chatting and smoking men at the
back OF the hall. In five minutes it is all
over, the letter writers 60 on writing, the
smokers 60 on smoking, the takers 60 on
talking. The Reading Clerk, perhaps,
resumes the reading Of q bill in his
official monotone, or member drones of
a speech from pile Of manuscript, and
the House has become the same
chaotic, listless, noisy, confusing and tire.
some crowd Of men 1t had been for days
before and will be for days to come. But
the Tariff bill touches almost every mem
Der at some points, through it many man
hopes to reveal TO an astonished world nm
expected attributes OF craftsmanship. The
result is that the House is full, almost every
member is in his seat, and the close atten-
ton given to the business in hand results
In degree OF order seldom ever seen.
The speakers all talk earnestly, and un-
usually briefly, and every little while the
members rise and stream like schoolboys
between two tellers standing in the little
semi.circle in front OF the Speakers desk
voting in this way on some amendment.
All this gives briskness to the scene 1t is
sadly lacking in as a rule. Whether 1t is
because the tourists have found this out or
not, the city Is now crowded with strangers.

A late issue OF the Cincinnati Enguirer has

Yesterday morning he sat In the office OF the

his friend got up aud left he was approached
by dapper young fellow, who announced
himself rs the long lost proaigate referred to
in the story Just related. Mr.. Anderson was

Pretty soon the old story was repeated. The
young swindler had a ticket for a big prize,
and wouldn't Mr.. Alder. on go with him to
draw It. Certainly" said Mr.. A., and the
two went out and up Vine street together.
Then the truth began to dawn on Mr. e., and
when they had reached the "joint'' he
squared himself and addressed his com.

Nov look here, young fellew; what do
you take me for, anyhow Don't you sup

The sharper demonstrated and declared he
was dead square, until he saw Mr.. Anderson

Finally the gentlemen told him to git, and
