CLEVELAND'S LUCK.

The refusal of Congress to enact free
coinage law renders the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland probable. 1t will be easy for the
Democrats of tie next Congress to eliminate
silver from the list Of current issues. The
present Silver Act will be in force and the
Republicans will be willing to abide by it.
If silver rises in the market the solution of
the silver question will be in sight. Itthere
is no material rise the reason may be ad-
yanced that the act has not been long
enough in operation to warrant final judg-
ment The argument of the House Com
mlttee on Coinage admits that there is about
100000 ounces of silver in the way of
steady appreciation of the market value of
that metal. Whether this amount of silver
Is held to depress the market with, or
whether it is a bona fide surplus which will
only disappear under policy of increased
purchase, is admitted TO be an open cues
ton. But the purchase policy opens the
way to conversion of surplus silver into
money, and this is all that free coinage
could do. But under the purchase policy

FIVE MILLIONS FOR THE FAIR.

The announcement was made some days
ago that the managers of the fair had dis
covered that the sum of 100000 in addi-
ton to that subscribed would be needed to
carry out their plans. At first the idea was
advanced that another appeal would be
made to the people of Chicago. But the an
Eouncement is now made that the Ways
and Means Committee has resolved to ask
Congress for an appropriation OF S5,0O0,O00.
The present Congress is too near its cOnsti-
rational end to warrant hope Of favorable
action, but the request will be preferred
when the next Congress meets. Meantime
the Committee on Ways and Means will
work in financial darkness. 1t cannot be
assured that 1t will get the appropriation it
needs The next Congress, being Demo-
cratic, will probably aim to strike contrast
between the two Congresses upon which the
Democrats can appeal to the country in
1892. A five million appropriation for
Worlds tair would not look well in the
work of Congress bent On a record for
economy. The fair managers may not know
whether they will get the appropriation I'M
tai well along in the summer of 1892. Long
before that time the general plan of the
fair should be determined upon. The
S5,OOO,00o that are declared to be necessary
should have something to do with the gen.
eral plan. The managers may assume that
the appropriation will be made and lay out
their plans on that basis. If Congress re-
inse to make the appropriation there will
then be an urgent appeal to the public. II
would not do to let the fair result in failure
or only partial success for the lack of

In the controversy with Henry Waiter
son concerning a letter which Mr. Waiter
son wrotp, but which Mr.. Hill did not
receive, the latter said: - never saw his

noticed any clippings or comments from the

sons assurances of friendness to Mr. Hill.
But Mr.. Hills assertion that he has never

A Drowning Sailor Attacked by Savage
A1batrosses.
During the passage of a Nova Scotian
bark 10 Liverpool most extraordinary af-
fair is reported to have occurred, showing
alike the feroeious and dangerous procivi-
ties of the albatross. The bark had lust got
out of the latitude where rough weather is
always encountered and was sailing with a
fair wind, when the cry of ''Man over
board" sounded throughout the ship. The
unfortunate fellow was Dane, one of the
crew, and he was seen at short distance
breasting the waves. The bark was brought
round, answering her helm instantly, and
the vessel was soon on her way to the strug-
Cling man.
Suddenly two large albatrosses were seen
to descend with an eagle-like scoop and at
tack the poor fellow in q terrible manner.
Both birds dashed at him, and to those on
board the vessel it seemed as if they were
endeayorDg to g0uge out his eyes with their
hooked bills, while with their wings they
kept beating the unfortunate man about the
head. The sight was terrible one, but it
did not last long, as the bark sailed over the
course where the Dane had fallen over
board about seven minutes before, but he
was nowhere to be seen. There was no
doubt in the minds of those on board that
the poor fellow was killed by the alba
trOsses, as he was powerful swimmer and
seemed to fight desperately for a few mo-
ments with the terocious birds. Pail Mall

The conductor then appointed a meeting

When the young woman's brother came
home in the evening she told him, and she
suggested that he dress in her clothing and
meet the conductor. The brother acquiesced,
kept the appointment and was met by the
gallant conductor with expressions of the
greatest joy. They then went to the the
alter. The conductor bought two of the best
seats in the house. AS soon as they were
seated the conductor wanted to know what
made his companion SO quiet. and implored
her TO take off her veil. The bashful person
at last did lake OIL the veil and disclosed
