WASHINGTON TOPICS
Bitter Struggle in the Senate
 Over the Elections Bill.
MIR. HoAR MAKES A NEW MOVE.
Be Wants Continuous Session Until the
 Measure is Disposed Of

The Democratic Leaders Alarmed Over the situation-The Free Coinage Bul Before the House Cemmittee-The Silver Pool to be Investigated by a Special Committee-New Postmasters.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The outlook now is for struggle to the death over the Elections bill. The sudden triumph of the advocates of the bill has undoubt- edly alarmed the Democratic leaders as much as any other development of the long contest.
 They begin to realize that Republican opposition to the bill among Senators and Representatives is a broken reed to lean upon, and that all their own re- sources will be needed to prevent the enactment of the measure.
 Senator Hoar shows a disposition to force the fighting by giving notice that he will move to-day for a continuous session, with the object of reaching a vote on the bill before adjournment. How we'll it will succeed is as yet a mat ter of speculation. If the bill fails to pass by the continuous session, an eff fort will be made to press the cloture rule, as was proposed two weeks ago.
 Senator Hoar says it is not true that the Elections bill will to-day be antagon-
  ized by any other measure brought for ward by Republican Senator. He says it can be positively stated that Sena- tor Paddock does not, as has been re- ported, intend to call up his Pure Food bill to-day.
 The Democrats in the House are fully alive to the situation, and share the feeling of the Democratic Senators that the bill will pass the Senate.
 The policy of delay in the House will be more pronounced than ever. The District of Columbia Appropriation bill, now under consideration, will receive an amount of attention that may be gratify- ing to local pride, but will not have it's origin in any concern for local interests. Everything in the House will now be delayed by the Democrats on the least possible excuse, while the Republicans are already beginning to concern them selves about the presence of a quorum of their own members.

RESORT TO RIOTING.
The Scotch Railroad Strikers Attack tn
 Company's PrOperty.

The Scotch Railroad Strikers Attack the
 Company's Property.
 LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Scotch strike has reached stage ef bitterness beyond which it can scarcely go without produc- ducing mob violence. In a number o1 cases the rails have been greased and the trains have come to a standstill.
 The strikers are beginning to display riotous feelings. Crowds of strikers made desperate attacks upon several railroad stations in Pesth and the i'm mediate vicinity during the day. They pelted the stations with stones until hardly a whole pane of glass could be seen in the windows of these buildings They also attacked and completely wrecked a large signal station.
 The policemen on duty at the scenes of the disturbances, when the rioting first commenced, were powerless to quell the disorders. Finally strong reinforce ment of bluecoats were sent to the spot where the rioters were assembled, and with difficulty they were dispersed. Bit terness of feeling on the part of the strikers is increasing
 It has been found necessary to erect barricades over the engines for the pro- lection of the drivers and stokers, who seem to be the special objects of attack.

 Sons Wife.

Mayor BaIdWIn's Message Reviewed,

Since the grand opening of the ware rooms of the Waterbury Furniture com pany last April, nothing has attracted so much attention as the Mayors Message which was given to the public last week. It shows in the highest degree, a thorough knowledge of the affairs of the city; and a sincere desire to put his knowledge into practice. He has earned his $3 day and ought to have raise:
 SEATS ON THE GREEN.
 There are few points however which weswish to submit to his Royal Highness; we are glad to learn that he has discovered that the Common Council has a conscience. "Whut answer" said his honor in a voice of thunder, twill you make your consci- ence if these maps should burn next year!' We did not think they had much con science when they asked us to furish seats on the green for less than they could be manufactured.
 THE STREET. DEPARTMENT.
 His Honor claims that "the demand for good highways is universal" Yes, our wagons can barely turn around in some of them. If we have q Quaker Ranges heavy Chamber Suit or a Lounge to deliver, and meet coal cart on the way the street be- comes blocked. Hereafter if our goods are scratched in delivery We shall send our
  cil with their complaints,
 MEpDLEsoME LAWYERS,
 Our customers always pay their bills so We have no use for the limbs of the law.
 THE ROAD BOARD.
 We think the Mayor made mistake in not recommending the paving of Meadow street, from the N. \. X N. k. station to Bank street, as all our freighting is done there, and the muu IS foot deep. "lt is hard to mix with mud and not get dirty,
 THE UNION DEPOT.
 In recommending the Union station he omitted one great argument in its favor. Hundreds of drummers visit Waterbury monthly. They take an order for car load of Chamber Sets or Stoves or Parlor Suits, and all at once fud that some of our stations are mile apart. This gives the drummer bad impression of our city, and what he says goes. Tho drummer Is next to the newspaper for spreading the news. Exit drummer.
 A GREAT IMPROVEMENT ovERLooKED.
 In his message His Honor forgot to state that We are tuning our whole base lnent into u mammoth workshop, from South Main street clear to Grand street, and our former worshops will be turned into salesrooms. We shall open huge win dows from the sidewalk to the bottom of the basement and make it as light as day.
 CAUSE FOR CONCENTRATION.
 We have been travelling through the states for a few days, and find that all the big concerns are expecting to see the most prosperous year that this country ever saw. This opinion is based on solid facts. We are getting ut onr inventory and expect to be done by February 1. We would pre- fer to turn our stock into cash for any reasonable price. Now is your opportunity to buy good goods cheap.
