THE action of the five recalcitrant
Republican Senators at Washington
on Monday in voting with the DEM
ocrats to lay aside the further consid-
Grafton of the CIoture rule ought to
receive the unqualified condemnation
of the people they represent. The
idea of Senator Wolcott allowing
himself to be made the catspaw of the
Democracy with which to rake their
chestnuts from the fire is disgusting,
aud his conduct is disgrace to the
people of Colorado.
No one will deny, no matter how
partisan he may be, that every move
of the minority since Congress con-
yened in December, has been to ob-
struct legislation and impede the
proper consideration of public BUSH
ness. In other words, the minority
has said by its action that the major.
ity shall not dictate the policy of the
Government although commissioned
so to do by the people at the ballot
box. The same state of affairs existed
heretofore in the history of our coun-
try and this condition was brought
about by some of the same men who
are now attempting to thwart the
will of the people. If the minority
il to rula the end of the chaDter in
the history OF popular government in
this country will soon be reached.
This sort of business is bid to Au-
archists, Communists and such like
desirable elements to hang out their
signs and renew business at the old
stand.
1.-THE Democratic party Can afford
to go TO the pee pie on such an issue,
we long to hear the sound of the first
gun of the campaign.

The Baltimore American Monday
contains an extensive account of the
storm on Saturday and its effect in
Maryland. That portion Of the arti-
Gle referring to this vicinity Is as
follows: "Trains were running on
time on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. Early in the morning the
wires were down in many places
along the second and third divisions.
Between Frederick and Martinsburg
large number of poles were down,
and there was no communication
east nor west. Beyond Martinsb urg,
as far as Cumberland, the storm was
very severe, and only one or two
wires were working last night. Over
the mountains and west to Wheel
ing. on the main line. and over the
Pittsburg division the storm was
pretty bad. The snow and sIush was
deep in some of the heavy cuts, but
it soon melted away.
"Linemen were sent out as early
as possible. and communication was
established almost the entire length
of the line late in the afternoon. At
Deer Park and Oakland the storm
was most severe. 1t resembled the
blizzard. Reports from the noun.
tains indicate that there is much
damage to the wires and poles. On
the Philadelphia division the storm
did much damage. More than one
hundred and fifty telegraph poles are
reported blown down, and the wires
broken. All the trains were run
ming on time, and no accidents were
reported. The cars ARRIVING were
covered with snow and ice. The
passengers and trainmen.reportnd
the storm very severe in and around
New York and wires and poles down
all along the line"

his remarks, said:
"YOu must remember that when
they have 100. 000.000 OF population
in America, they will have paid off
their National debt, and their taxes
will be at a minimum. They have
almost no army-aS we in Europe
understand an army and no navy
They have no spirited foreign policy
They have no taxes in proportion to
their population, and these will grow
less and less. The farmers in Amer
lea. as you know, have no rent-uo
titIe-no poor rate. You hare all of
these. Your laws as they now are,
would make the laborer's condition
perpetual. In America, as post OF
their country said of their population
and their land:
They till the soil, but QUA the
land they TIL
And that is the great aud vital diff.
ference between the land and Its cul.
tivation in America and the land aud
its cultivation in England"
1t would seem that John Bright
was about as we'll qualified TO judge
of the conditions and relations of the
two countries. and especially of
1.-THE bearings of American produce
vs.. English produce" as any other
man A.; aud it is certain that no other
has given to that practical question
more close or more critical attention
than did he. AS the great cham.
pion alike of England interests and
free trade, he would not have SPOKEN

caused in England by the aggression
of American trade, had he not been

His unqualified concession of the
success OF that policy must have been
specially repugnant, and not a little
humiiating, to both his national and
his personal pride and could have
been extorted from him only by
force ola sense of impending national
disaster too strong to be resisted
What less than such "alarm" could
have led Mr.. Bright to insist thai
the proposed commission should in,

had so stimulated and maintained
the production in EAmerica of corr

cient to cause with English pro

Mr.. Bright so anxiously sought te

The question to be considered ir
this connection is whether the far

Verdict of the COroner's Jury 1t Dillon
Tried to Blow His Head on
At Butte.

RfMraI, Feb. 8. - Especial - At nine
o'clock this morning very serious acci-
dent occurred at the Ida May mine, seven
mi es from Rimini. The night shift had
fired two shots, leaving one unexploded.
The day men, Robert Corbett and James
Clune, descended the shaft and proceeded
to extract the powder from the unexploded
shot, which contained two and one-half
sticks of powder. Two sticks and the cap
and fuse we're taken out safely. whom tho
remaining half stick exploded. Corbett.
who was holding the gun, had the thumb
blown off of his right hand, his left arm
broken and left side severely lacerated
by the explosion. Clune WAS hit
in the head by a fragment Of rock, making
T-shaped cut over his left eye. The in
jured men were brought to Rimini and
medical aid summoned from Helena. DR..
Steele responded and found Clune's in
iuries to consist of slight fracture Of the
skull, but Corbett, aside from his other in
juries, was so terribly shocked by the ex-
plosion that his recovery will be exceeding
ly slow, if he should survive. Both men
were we'll known miners in this state.

The Only Move Made at Butte In the
Davis Case.

The Only Move Made at Butte In the
Davis Case.
BUTTE, Jan. 3.-[Special. THE fight for
the Davis millions has been transferred to
Helena for day at least. As was expect
ed, Judge Mediation adjourned court at
noon to-day until Thursday morning. in
order to attend the session OF the supreme
court tomorrow, according to order from
that body. This continues the Davis case
until Friday at least, and possibly longer.
The only new development in the case to-
day was the filing of n long list of deposit
tions secured from Iowa witnesses. These
were secured at the instance of Henry A.
Root and their primal object was to break
down the credibility of j. c.
Sconce, the only living witness to
the Iowa will. They must prove
very disappointing to the contestant. rs
the great majority of the witnesses swear
that the reputation of Sconce for truth and
veracity has always been good. One gentle
man swears that his reputation is bad, bu'
that he would tell the truth under oath and
could not be bribed. The remainder OF
them simply set up the intimacy that ex-
listed between A. j. Davis and Miss Bur
kett, the mother of "Pet" Davis.

In the Commons.

LONDON, Feb. BIN the commons to-day
Lowther gave notice of motion requesting
the government to take immediate meas
ures to promote the formation ofpreferential
fiscal relations between Great Britain and
her colonies. Mr.. Majoribanke moved the
appointment of commission to examine
the new magazine rife and the rea-
sons for it's adoption. Hanbury con-
demned the system by which the new rifle
system was introduced. He said that out of
thirteen patents connected with the rifle
one official held ten in his own name. He
therefore moved an amendment that a COM
mission to inquire into the more details of
military administration was undesirable, MS
weakening the full responsibility of the Of
fcials who recommended the rifle. After
sharp debate, in which the war Office was
severely criticised, the amendment was oar
ried, 108 to seventy four. A motion by
Hicks Beach to appoint select committee
to inquire into the question of Legislative
restriction of working hours of railroad
servants was agree to.

Would Have Died without It.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Feb. 3.-Prof. Chit
tenden says he cannot see how Bradley g
death can have any effect upon the value or
use of lymph. 1t is, perhaps, natural that
ing the failure of lymph, but among doc
tors and people who will consider intelli.
gently, he cannot see how it will have any
effect. The case was particularly bad one
for the use of lymph. One of the mans
lungs was nearly gone and the other in bad
condition. He was also suffering from
laryngitis, and it was for this that lymph
was especially used. Lymph did great
deal of good for this trouble. A man with
Bradiey's trouble would probably have died
of strangulation. 1t is possible the lymph
had some remote effect upon his lungs but
the professor does not think it hastened
death. The amount of lymph used all told
was very small.

DENVER, Feb. 3.--The house this after
noon received the report Of the bribery in
vestigatins committee. The majority were
OF opinion that the house had beon assaiIed
by as corrupt n lobby as eve. attempted to
manipulate legislation. They stated,
among specific charges. that Otto Mears
had offered Representative Bowman $500,
and Representative Hanna on another oc-
casion offered him tho chairmanship OF Il
committee on condition in each case that
he would support Speaker Hanna. 1t was
also charged that DR.. Milton at
tempted to intimidate Bowman, and Rep
resentative Mitchell was twice approached
by parties whom he refused to name, and
offered $500 and $1,000 to support Hanna
Several other representatives had been APP
proached. and the committee recommended
that the testimony be submitted to tho
grand jury. The minority report, signed
by Cnombs, WIS to the effect that he could
not endorse the majority report Hs Mitchell.
Thornton and Chapman refused to name
the persons offering them bribes. They
should be compelled to do this or be ex-
PEELED. Bowman. the only man who named
the briber, had. he said. been fatty contra
dicted at every point. The majority report
WAS adopted.

Fishermen Carried Into Lake Huron on

Fishermen Carried Into Lake Huron on
Ice-Scveral Reach Land.
BAY Cry, Mich, Feb. 3.-Much excite
ment prevails here concerning a report that
many fishermen had drifted into Lake
Huron on an ice field and had been carried
out at Saginaw bay by strong south wind
to-day. The fishing village is about fifteen
miles northeast of the city and five miles
from land. 1t is estimated that 200 men
were engaged in spearing fish and the first
reports were to the effect that all were lost.
Towards evening several of the fishermen
reached Essexville, suburb of this city,
and reported that most of their
companions reached land in safety. The
authority obtained places the number of
castaways at from twenty to fifty. Those
acquainted with the situation say they will
reach shore before the ice passes outside of
Saginaw bay. If they do not there is no
hope of their being rescued.
Late tonight it was learned that six of
the men managed-to get ashore east of the
river. One of them said that 200 more got
ashore on the other bay and that others will
escape if the storm does not break up the

CHICAGO. Feb. 3.-Gen. Miles said this
morning that the matter of the Pine Ridge
Indians had been taken entirely out of his
hands and he knew nothing about the band
now on its way to Washington. The gen
eral declares that the report that he selected
certain class of Indians to go to Wash
ington is false. He said those sent by him
represented all classes. The general ex-
pressed the belief that some enemy was
trying to injure him by circulating false
rumors to the press. He did not believe
that the president disapproved of the sus-
pension of Col. Forsythe. He declares that
Forsythe has not been vindicated, as the
report of the inspector when made public
will show. party of fifteen Indians from
Pine Ridge agency, headed by Chief John
Grass, passed through the city to-day Ell
route to Washington to talk with the score
tary of the Interior and President Harrison.

BUTTE, Feb. Especial. About 1890
to-day Irwin Hooper, stranger in Butte,
attempted to blow his head off in the pawn
shop kept by Blumkins. on East Park
street. He had been looking at revolver,
apparently desiring to make purchase,
when. to the horror of all present. he quiet.
ly placed the muzzle in his mouth and
pulled the trigger. Fortunately the car
fridge failed to explode and he was secured
before another attempt could be made.
When taken in charge by the officers Hoop
er claimed that he was all right, but that
the man in the store had attempted to kill
him. He is thought to be suffering from
temporary arrangement and will be kept
by the county for few days in the hope
that he may recover. He came to Butte
from Bozeman about two weeks since and
is painter by trade.

Dire Times Across the Pacific.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 3.-Advices from ia
pan by steamship Gaelic say the silk trade
is in n very bad way. Last years losses to
merchants amounted to over S25,OO0,00
and according to present appearances the
losses will continue some time yet. A seri-
GUS state of affairs exists in Siam, owing to
the failure of the rice crop. The Mercan-
tile Gazette, of Yokohama, says that unless
efficient measures are taken to meet the
emergency, rebellion and riot by the starv-
ing and unemployed, followed by epidem-
los, will surely be the order of the day. A
serious earthquake occurred in Java Dec.
II, the town of Joana being terribly dam
aged, twelve persons killed and seventeen
injured
