Congressional Complications.

Baltimore Herald, of the 18th, lets Out
the following secrets; which indicate
that there are interests for Senators to
look after that they consider above and
independent of the eaucps:.
1t was not until this evening that the
true reason of the postponement by last
nights House Republican caucus of con
sideration of the federal election law
became known.
Unusual efforts were made to keep it
secret, and to effect this object erroneous
reports were given out. The fact is,
that Speaker Reed and his allies who in
sist upon the enactment of an election
law tally realize that they cannot ac-
complis!s anything in this direction
without me harmonious cooperation of
the Republican Senators. Until few
days ago thu: cooperation had been
counted upon us a matter of political
necessity, but information derived with
in the past two days impaired a very
different phase to the question.
Speaker Reed ascertained beyond a
question of doubt that certain western
Republican Senators would hold free
silver to be paramount to their constitu-
ents above and beyond all other matters
of legislation. had entered into a com
pact with Democratic Senators to the
end that if the latter would vote for free
silver coinage the former would oppose
any federal election law. When it be-
came known absolutely that such a
compact had been made the Republican
leaders of the House agreed that it
would be wise to defer any further CON
sideration of an election law until the
Republican Senators could be consulted.
In this view the caucus adjourned, post
poning the question until next Tuesday
Meantime Speaker Reed and the regu
lar caucus committee were authorized to
present Che question in all it's import
ance to Republican Senators, and to
urge upon them the great Importance of
the enactment OF an election law.
1t is understood that Speaker Reed
to-day broached the subject to Senators
vocates, and they replied in substance
that if the Republicans of the House
would pass n free coinage bill the Senate
might" pass an election law. Speaker
Reed was not authorized to make any
such agreement, and the negotiations
stand just where the subject was left by
last night S caucus,
This phase of the question Presents a
very material obstacle to the enactment
of a federal election law, as Senators
Stewart and Jones. of Nevada Teller,
Plumb and other Republicans say that
it is of vastly more Importance to their
people to have free silver than to control
Congressional elections.
Hon. G.. b. Smith is announced az the
candidate for Congress in
the Charleston, w. Va. District, subject
to the decision of the district convention.
He is native Of Louisa county, and has
resided in Kanawha r. Frs.
Speaker Reed has been unanimously
nominated for reelection by the Repub-
leans of his district in Maine.

that Mr.. H. C. Fahnestock, of the First
National Bank of New York, sailed on
the 9Th for Lon lon. in connection with
these negotiations The plan. under
which it is hoped a compromise and final
settlement of the debt will be made. pro-
vides as a prime essential that All

The committee having the matter in
charge will issue an explanatory pamph-
let addressed to the holders of Virginia
bonds, from which we take the follow
ing extract:
sThis undertaking to settle the Vir
ginia debt does no require creditors to
incur any responsibility, or risk any
part of its expense
"For more than seven years the hold
ers of Virginia bonds have refused the
terms offered, and have, through vari
our agencies, expended large sums IN
fruithss efforts to obtain b Atter terms. !"
SIT has been thus established: LIST.
That Virginia has not been able to me-
gotiate SUGGEST ull ! with agel Gle, Eer1-

A NEW PAINTING.
Tho Latest Addition to the California
Wine House.

Tho Latest Addition to the California
Wine House.
The latest addition to Mr.. August Fack's
art gallery is "Adam and Eve" by Loewe
Marchand. Like all modern French artists,
the painter of this picture has reduced his
mental analysis of the biblical statement to
canvas without reference to sentiment or
religious feeling. To portray the father
and mother of all mankind no has not
aimed at prototypes SO much as archetypes
OF humanity. Adam, muscular. tall and
brown after his mother. the earth and ex-
posure to the sun; Eve fair in color to look
upon but with wide loins and thighs and
deep breasts MS is fit for the all-mother.
This is the physical aspect. Adam pros
trated by a blow which he comprehends;
Eve bewildered more than frightened. This
is the French estimate of the difference in
intellectually between man and woman,
At least as q study of anatomy it is superb.
Nothing need be snid Of either the land
scape Or the angel; they are necessary inci-
dents to the central figures.
This painting was hung in Mr.. Fack's
place last evening. whore it will remain on
