ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. T7.-N0u0e
Vrenya publishes an article attributing the
decline in Russian currency and securities
to the agitation In London in favor of the
Jews in Russia. The article contains this
sarcasm: This concern evirced by the
Englishmen, who beggared India
and Egypt, poisoned China with
opium, destroyed like dangerous
insects, the natives Of Australia, and
who, under tho protext Of abolishing the
slave trade, are extirminating, in barbarous
fashion, the African races, ia certainly

proposes that the Russian government plant
colonies Of industrious Irish IN Southwest
Siberia and give England two jews in re-
turn for every Irish colonist.

CAUCUS OF THE SENATORS.
The Committee's Financial Scheme
Adopted-A Cloture Rule.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE third caucus
OF the republican senators on the state of
business was held tonight, and resulted in
an agreement The basis was the adoption
Of the financial scheme reported by the
caucus committee, with the exception of
the 2 per cent. bond project, which was
eliminated. So the measure will provide
for the purchase of $4,000, 900
worth Of the silver bullion surplus,
reduction Of the compulsory requirement
OF bond deposits by national banks. exten-
sion of the national bank circulation to the
full amount of their bond deposits, replace
ment of the deficiency in the national bank
circulation below $3.50. 100000 by treasury
notes based on silver bullion purchases, a
provision for free coinage when silver is
maintained at par for one year.
provision for charge on the
ccnve sion of gold coin into bars.
and the recoinage Of subsidiary silver coins.
This measure was not satisfactory in every
detail to all the senators. but was accepted
as the best possible compromise. The
measure was recommitted to the caucus
committee with instructions to perfect it in
In form and give it over to the finance COM
mittee, which will report it to the Senate at
an early day.
A CLoTURE RULE.
The caucus also instructed the committee
on rules to propose and report through
Chairman Aldrich a cloture rule. II is un-
derstood that it will be fr&,1ed on the lines
OF the rule proposed at the last session by
Senator Roar, and will provide for ordering
the previous question ION any pend
ing proposition after reasonable
time allowed for debate. This rule is not
to be reported until the financial bill has
been presented to the Senate by the finance
committee. No provisfen was made for
tee adoption of extraordth harry measures to
secure action by the Senate upon the pro-
posed new rule. and future developments
are expected to shape tie policy of the
majority in that respect. While the
financial bill is in process of construction
the debate on the election blu is oxpec ed to
continue. The friends Of this measure were
satisfied with the programme agreed upon.
as they thought they saw IN the proposed
new cloture rule means OF securing fual
action upon their tavorite bill.
The twelve million ounces of silver bull
ion is to be purchased during the calendar
year, not exceeding three million ounces in
! any one month, and is in addition TO the
amount now required to be purchased
monthly.

Sealed It's Fate.
SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, Dec. 1.-THE
doors of the Spokane National Bank, one of
the largest institutions in the city, were not
opened this morning. For about a year it
has been known among bankers that this
bank was in financial straits, and more
than once the other banks have helped it
out. The difficulties were precipitated by
tue failing Of three branches in the
Coeur d'Alene mining district, namely the
Bank of Wallace; the Bank of Wardner
and the Bank of Murray. 1t is said to have
been brought about by failure to realize on
securities held by the bank for advances
made for the development of various mining
properties. The bank was the United
States depository, but the government
withdrew its deposits about two weeks ago.

HARRISON'S MEDDL1NG.
His Campaign Against Free Silver
Kept Up sll Day.

His Campaign Against Free silve
Kept Up all Day.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE President
kept up his campaign against free silve'
and in favor of the force bill all day long.
in view of the fact that the republican sena-
torial caucus tonight was expecaed to settle
these matters. so fer as the Senate was con-
cerned, for this session. Few Presidents
have been as urgent and per-
sistent in pressing their opin-
ions upon congress as President Harrison
has been in these two matters. He has been
intolerant of all opposition, and has threat
ened prescription to all opponents, and with
it all he has been powerless to affect the
result. The force bill will be laid aside and
the silver men will have their way, even If
they do not get free coinage, in spite Of him.
HIS INTERFERENCE RESENTED.
The very senator's who agree with him
deprecate his interference. All day long a
the Senate, in the cloak rooms, and IN the
restaurant. Senator Sherman labored per-
soaally with every silver senator on the
republican side, ana every silver senator
labored IN turn with Senator Sherman. lt
was, as it has been throughout the
republican discussions since the force bill
was killed, an inter sting tug Of war be-
tween the mino ity Of free silver repnb-
ncans ard the najority OF anti-free silver
republicans. in which the former have
gradually pulled the latter over the line In
the direction Of free coinage.

18th DISTRICT CONVENTION.
TAYLOR An EASY WINNER.

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention of the 18th District, comprising
the counties of Guernsey, Harrison,
Carroll, Jefferson and Columbiana, was
held in Steubenville on last Thursday.
The Convention was called to order by
Alex COchrane, of Guernsey, who an
nounced Judge Nathan II. Barber. of
Guernsey, as temporary Chairman, and
Ed. A. King, of Columbiana, as tenn
porary Secretary. Judge Barber when
introduced, was greeted by hearty ap-
plause, and responded in a speech in
which he arraigned the present State ad-
ministration for the violation of pledges
made last fall, and contrasted the con-
duct of Governor Campbell in catering to
the "bummer" element of his party in dis
tinctiOn to the manly and straightforward
course pursued by Governor Foraker.
He reviewed the present position of the
Republican party on National questions
and complimented the party on its stand
on the tariff, pension laws and Federal
elections bill. His speech was roundly
applauded. The usual committees were
appointed and made the usual reports,
the committee on permanent organiza-
ton reporting in favor of II. J. Eckley,
of Carroll, for permanent Chairman and
Bart. Guider, of Jefferson, Secretary.
Chairman Eckley did not take time to
make speech, but merely congratulated
the Convention on the bright outlook
for the Republican party in both State
and Nation, and then the Convention
settled down to business.
John L. Locke, Esq, of Cambridge,
presented the name of Col J. D. Taylor
in mastery and laudatory speech and
was applauded to the echo.
j. F. Dayton in an elaborate and elo-
quent effort presented to the Convention
the name of John NJ. Cooke.
The call of counties resulted as
follows:
