DEMOCRATIC FIRE.
1t Is Repienished at the Caucus-They

1t Is Replenished at the Caucus-They
will Filibuster.
WASHINGTON, January 3lst-The Demo-
Gratis held big caucus tonight.
A letter from Randall was read, in which
he urged continuance Cf the fight. He
advised the members Of the minority to
stick to their guns and lose no opportunity
to keep the Republicans from attempting
10 pass on any contested election cases in
the absence of a new code of rules. Ran
dali urged a renewal of the flibustering
tactics, claiming that they were right and
proper under the circumstances. He de-
manded that the Democrats should prevent
any legislation until the new code is
brought in. and he also advised against the
plan of leaving the House in body.
Carlisle told the caucus that there had
been only three meetings of the Committee
on Rules. He never received notice in
writing, but was sent for by Reed and met
him. Mckinley and Canon in the Speakers
room. They then discussed rules for
about an hour, and have had but two
meetings since in the Speakers room,
lasting about twenty minutes each. There
has been no meeting since las. Monday.
Carlisle explained what was contem-
plated by the new code and was followed
by Crisp and others.
While some advised caution in the pro-
ceedings, the concensus of opinion IA
vored continuation of the fight.
After a long discussion the caucus ad-
journed, having reached no conclusion
excepting in the final agreement to con-
tinue the dilatory tactics of the past three
days. Carlisle and others will draw up an
address TO the country, which will be pub
lshed, in justification of the position of
the minority.
The subject of securing the intervention
of the Supreme Court to establish the ille-
gal nature of the Republican proceedings
was broached. butno action was taken.

Dynamite Guns Will Keep Off Chilean
Pirates


New YORK, January 51st. = John L.
Stickney, an eX.LieutenaDt of the United
States navy and one of the leading experts
on land forti6cations il this country, says
that San Francisco will in a very few
months be the best protected city and har-
Dor on the whole coast line of the United
States Within month or two dynamite
guns recently ordered by the Government
will be on the way to San Francisco, to be
placed on commanding attitude near the
city, where they can sweep the entrance to
Golden Gate and reach two miles over the
ocean. These guns are especially fitted for
use from an eminence, and their work is
almost certainly effective, for while
modern ship can stand for hours in the
face of hard fire from heavy guns carry
ing shells or balls, and can live and do
effective service after being literally per-
forated, the dynamite gun throws couple
of hundred pounds of dynamite which no
ship can withstand.
There has been much talk Of the oppor-
tunity of Chilean or otker vessel lying
outside the Golden Gate throwing her
shells into the corridor of the Palace Hotel
with impunity, so far as danger from the
present defenses is concerned, bat the dyna-
mite gun could make things disastrously
warm for an enemy, which would be forced
to vaca.e its position suddenly and without
the immense amount of tribute which evil
prophets always claim ship would levy.
The range of the dynamite gun is suf-
ficient to keep ship far enough out at sea
to prevent her shells reaching the main
portion of the city, so San Francisco can
soon breathe easy.

THE WHY oF IT.
English Money is Invested in America
for Good Reasons.

English Money is Invested in America
for Good Reasons.
CHICAGO, January 31st.-Armory B. Lyd-
ston Of London, who is largely interested
in English stock companies, was in this
city to-day on his way to Colorado, where
he expects to visit the silver and quartz
mills. In conversation he said: 1T is not
at all strange that London capitalists are
investing largely in American properties
What l wonder at is that they did not
sooner discover that the United States
offered safe and sure profits to investors 1t
is only within the last few years that En-
glish capital has been directed toward
America, but already there are twelve
great syndicates which have representa-
tives in this country on the lookout for
large investments The syndicates make
business of floating stock in the London
money market, but do not place invest
ments for private individuals and small
corporations.
Wealthy Londoners, who were formerly
content to remain at home and buy up
stock offered by syndicates, are taking trips
10 America for the purpose of looking over
the ground and investing their own money.
These men are helping America more than
they think. When they get home they
find thai their money pays them nearly
vested in London. They know what builds
up America helps their investments. Con-
sequently they are ready TO urge their
friends to invest, and to invest more them
selves, and l suppose that already half the
moneyed men in England hold stock in
American concerns.
1T is hard for one who has never lived
in England, to understand how hard it is
to carry forward schemes or projects in that
country. The law places all sorts of OBJ
structions upon all money transactions
which are in any degree out of the ordi-
nary buy and sell. You have to pay the
Government big fee before you can float
the stock OF foreign company on
the London market. l understand
the company which made the Mime
apolis deal had 10 pay cut $500, 600
in fees of various sorts, before the stock
was all sold. Conservative London capt.
talisis are content with less than 3 per cent
interest. They will not invest in any COM
pany which is advertised to pay over per
cent London banks will not pay interest
on deposits, however large. Under these
circumstances the progressive business man
must look outside of England for profit
able investments. Formerly his first
thought was of the Colonies, but now he
turns TO America"

RAILROAD INDEBTEDNESS.
Time Extensions Under Consideration at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, January 31st-The Senate
Select Committee on Pacific Railroads this
morning received a report from Senator
Davis upon the bill to further extend the
time for the payment of the debt of the
Central Pacific Railway. The report was
read and discussed, but no conclusion
reached, when the committee adjourned to
next Friday. 1t is expected that at that
meeting the bills with regard to both the
Union and Central Pacific roads will be
finally acted upon. The committee has
already decided TO report upon the Pacific
DILL drafted by Senator Frye, but it will not
be given cut fol publication until the Cen
tral Pacific bill is also passed upon.
The Union Pacific bill extends for fifty
years the time within which the Gov
ernment debt must be paid, and fixes the
rate of interest at three per cent.
The Senators will not state what time
extension, or interest will be given in the
case of the Central Pacific, but it is under
stood that the road will be given about
twice the time allowed the Union Pacific
and lower rate of interest required.
In the cases OF both roads the committee
will insist that all the property the roads
have, whether covered or not by the exist
ing laws of the Government, shall be made
liable for the Indebtedness due the United
States under this arrangement. The Gov
ernment will secure mortgage upon the
various branch lines owned by the Union
Pacific and built without Government aid.
1t has always been insisted by railroads
that the main line would be worthless as
money learners without these feeders, and
and it is asserted that this latter will llgreatly
increase the Governments security.

The appeal was then laid on the table by
the following vote: Ayes, 1S2; noes, none. The
speaker, as usual, counted the requisite num-
Der to make quorum.
Springer then moved to adjourn, but the
speaker said the decision of the Chair had
been sustained by the House, and refused to
entertain the motion. The Speaker thereupon
recognized Dalzan of Pennsylvania, TO speak
upon the Smith Jackson election case.
Crisp raised the question of consideration.
and the Speaker replied that the House had al
ready decided to consider the election case.
? Notwithstanding Crisp protest that the ques-
ton of consideration to decide the previous
day was not binding to-day, the Speaker re-
fused to put the question to the House.
Crisp appealed, but the Speaker declined to
entertain his appeal, amid Democratic hisses
Crisp asked Tor reasons, and the Speaker gave
the vote oil the House sustaining the ruling OF
the Chair against dilatory motions.
Crisp protested that the Speaker had no right
to determine his motions, to which the Speaker
replied that he thought them perfectly ap-
parent
Dalzell said Crisp was out of order, and Crisp
replied: 81 have right to present this PROPOSE
tion to the Speaker and to the country, so it
may be understood. You are pursuing further
that course you seem to have entered upon OF
disregarding all customs, practices and parlia-
mentary rules"
Dalzell then proceeded to speak, but the up
roar continued until Crisp advised his col
leagues that they should give the election case
a quiet hearing, so they might pass upon it in
telligenty. This advice was acted upon, and
at the conclusion of DalZelfs argument the
House adjourned.

DELTA, January 31st.-Up 10 this writing
(3 N the work train which left Delta
this morning is still standing mile above
this place, waiting for an immense slide of
dirt to be cleared from the track.
One hundred men have been working at
it steadily all day, and are now engaged
in Strengthening track which has been
twisted into dozen different shapes for a
distance of sixty feet, On account of the
force of the slide. A gang of thirty Or
forty have been sent ahead to remove the
here, and at Tunnel 8. several miles up,
gang of men are at work on a slide about
100 feet in length, which covers the track
to depth of six feet.
This noon huge rock in the slide above
here had to be blasted with giant powder,
and while the men were at dinner the ex-
plosion took place. The rock was broken
to atoms, and small particles were thrown
in all directions, for a considerable dis
tance. The slide does not look so formida-
bic when first approached, but as fast as
the men shovel it out more rock and mud
come down, and the pile, seemingly, never
decreases.
The gang of men at work on the slide at
Tunnel 9 are reported out of supplies, and
if the train here gets to. them tonight
they viii probably not proceed further up.
Sims Station is nearly ten miles above
Tunnel 9, and between the two places there
are several other slides.
Train men say that they will do well to
reach Dunsmuir by Sunday

LATEST FROM THE WIZARD.
Edison Now Says He Can Photograph
by Wire.

NEW YORK, January 31st.-Edison has
Just invented a machine which separates
iron from the ore. 1t is one of the simplest
and at the same time most ingenious de-
vices for saving labor that has been in
vented.
The machine consists of a crib sur
mounted by a hopper. By a system of
magnets the iron is separated from the
ore while falling from the hopper to the
bottom of the crib. The magnets of course,
are arranged under the hopper, but not
directly under it, They are placed on the
side of the crib, so that as the crushed ore
filters through the hopper the tailings fall
directly to the bottom without being di-
verted from their course, while the iron, on
the other hand, is attracted to one side by
the magnets and is caught in a pan.
The inventor is also engaged on an in
vention for taking photographs by wire.
This invention is destined to rival the tele-
phone and phonograph. It is worked very
much in the same way as the telephone.
Instead of transmitting sound, however, in
some unaccountable way which Edison re-
fuses to tell, it transmits light, by means of
which photograph can be taken of per-
son when sitting at remote distance. Edl-
son has succeeded in getting some very
good impressions, but has not perfected his
invention

tomorrow Claasen gave himself up to
the Marshsls on condition that he not be
required to spend the night in jail Ae-
cordingly he is quartered at the Astor
House tonight under guard. He asserts
his thorough innocence of wrong doing,
and denies any misappropriation or en-
bezzlement.
Charles NJ. Preston, Superintendent of
the State Banking Department, said to-
night: The over certifeation of checks
for S1500O0 by Cashier Courier. of the
Equitable Bank, to Pell, Wallack & Co. and
James a. Simmons, undoubtedly crippled
that institution" Preston knew that Presi-
dent Tallman had raised sl50,000 and
brought it to the bank this morning that it
might resume business. He further said
that the downfall of the Lennox Hill Bank
was directly attributed to the Cashiers GER
of two checks for $50 900 each for
the Sixth National Bank.

the loveliest retreat for disabled volunteers
the country will ever see Colonel Mark
ham, by the way, proved one of the
most popular members, though his term
was but two years. He declined re-elec
ton, because of bad health, and because he
wanted to make some money in the South
ern California boom. He made money
and largely recovered his health, and along
about September next, or earlier, he will
shy his castor into the Republican Con-
vention of the Golden State as Southern
Californias preferred candidate for Gov
ernor. Ex-Coneressman FELTON, is thought
to be likewise ambitious, and, if So North
