WILL VETO THE SILVER BILL.

ALL NIGHT SESSION or the SENATE.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 16.-Whi!e 1t is i'm
possible to obtain an authoritative state
ment from the president in regard to the
senate silver bill, 1t is intimstsd very
broadly by gentlemen who have CON
versed with him on the subject that he Is
very much dissatisfied with the measure
in its present shape, and will certainly
veto it unless 1t undergoes material mod
idcation before submitted to him for
action. He is in entire accord with Sec
retary Window on the subject and the
latter's opposition to the free coinage of
silver is matter Of record.
Pending action Of some kind in the
house on the silver bill, active discussion
of the question has subsidized aud the
members of the house are awaiting de-
velopments. The coinage committee has
the key to the situation at pres
ent and the general disposition is
to give the committee an opportunity
to show what 1t means to do before max
ing predictions or outlining the course to
be pursued in the future. Some effort is
making on the part of the gold adherents
to have the bill Kept in the committee,
hut the silver men are sauguine as to
their ability to defeat such a move. AT
least two of the democratic members of |
the committee are gold standard men and
each side shows them great consideration
in the present condition of affairs. With
their assistance the silver men could Or
der report made to the house and 1t is
asserted this will be done without much
delay, though it is not contended that
these democrats will commit them
selves to vote for the bill but merely tb.t
they will agree to secure consideration
for it.
The speaker entertains the same views
as ever on the question Of free coinage
but there Is reason to believe he is not
prepared to 60 to most extreme measures
In order to preven. the matter coming up
and to bear the burden of dissatisfaction
which would thereby be created in the
silver ring of the republican party. Be-
sides the republicans are not united on
the subject and are not likely to be.

New Things on the Moon.

SAN JOSE, Cal, Aug. pc. -Remark-
able discoveries have been made at the
Lick observatory. Prof. Holden, the
lecturer, has secured through the big tel
Escape better photographs of the moon
han have been taken anywhere else, and
the work OF photographing goes on every
hour when the satellite is visible. By
studying the photographs with a magni-
flying glass any changes taking place on
the surface of the moon NAV be discOv-
cred. The astronomers on Mount Ham
iltOn have discovered some things that
nobody else ever saw, but they
have not determined whether these
are new features or things that are too
sun all to have been seen through the
Sun mailer telescopes. For example, Upon
. the :op OF one OF the mountains of the
moon the photograph shows a luminous
white spot that looks like snow. If this
is snow, and if it was not there before,
the presence OF an atmosphere is indica-
ted. 1t has heeu believed that the moon
has no atmosphere and therefore is unin.
habited, but if it should be demonstrated
that snow falls upon the surface of the
satellite. the accepted theory would be up
set and astronomers would begin to
study the moon with new and greater in
terest.
Objects upon the noon are detected by
their shadows, and a projection or
eminence fifty feet high casts u shadow
large enough to be seen through the Lick
telescope. If Prof. Holden should dis
cover some day a new shadow where none
had been cast before when the moon was
in the same position and under the same
light, he would know that something had
been erected upon the surface-cither a
part of the crust upheaved by some
internal movement or q building put up
by living creatures. The moon appears
to be a dead. desolate waste of played out
volcanoes and cooled lava beds, without
atmosphere, and, like Arizona, rather
short of water and good society.

On Thirty-ffth street is a little low
browed chophouse. The place seats
but thirty people. The walls are smoked
and dingy and exude odors of 10, 900 by
gone chops and toasted cheese entertain
ments. The paintings crowd each other
on the dirty walls and have that pecul-
iarly indistinct look of the work of the
old masters.
Yet, f%orbidding as this would all APP
pear, this place is noted for its choice
morsels and is frequented by the swell
est men about town. Among the familiar
belongings the face of Robert, the single
waiter, is seen no more. Robert is dead.
Robert vas a waiter among walters. He
never forgot. He knew a thousand Gus.
toners by sight. He sized personal tastes
up by a sort of instinct. He was never
ELUSIVE, but took your tip ~graciously.
Tips? He made from five to twenty
dollars a day, did Robert. He averaged
$500 a month and he had a monopoly.
But Robert is dead, good fellow, and
gone where tips are not recognized. He
is not forgotten, however, by any means,
for late in the morning, over your Welsh
rarebit and toby of ale, you will hear
many stories of the lead waiter whose
face SO long seemed a part of the place.

The advent Of mackerel upon the
Maine coast and into its countless little
bays occasions great general excitement
and a feeling of security against positive
want the coming winter. The good
people all hasten to salt down q barrel of
fish to each family, and with pork and
potatoes in the cellar they feel that they
can in a measure prepare, like the
oft quoted man in Scripture, to "eat,
drink and be merry" In these Maine
villages visited by the silvery tribe there
is an odor of cooking mackerel emanat-
ing from every cottage, and the summer
visitor may reckon on getting all the fish,
and more, that he wants. 1t is al such
times that the boarding house keeper
makes something on his people who pay
him only n dollar a day.-Boston Herald.

TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION
Pacific Short Line to be Dis
posed of Next Tuesday.
Some of the Roads Anxious to
Own the Property.
The Reason Why the Enter
prise Was Abandoned.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-By an order of
the United States circuit court the Pacific
Short Line railroad will be sold at auction
next Tuesday under foreclosure proceed
ings. Among the bidders it is understood
will be the Illinois Central, Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, and Northwestern
The road was originally intended to run
from Sioux City to Ogden, Utah, para
telling the Union Pacific and shortening by
several hundred miles the present rail dis
lance from the Missouri river to the Pa.
cific slope. Up to last fall the road was
built between Sioux City and O'Neal-
100 miles. The enterprise looked promIs-
ing enough until last falls financial panic.
Then Gould had gobbled the Union Pa
cifc and was understood to be hand in
glove with Huntington, who controls the
Central Pacific. The latter road,
which is the only outlet from
Ogden to the Pacific coast, was in
hostile hands, therefore, and the Pacific
Short Line people decided il would be
folly, under the circumstances, to com
plete the line, so the property was allowed
to 20 into the hands of a receiver and is
now to be sold. The Illinois Central is
said to be anxious to get possession OF the
road so as to gain access to the Black Hills
territory. If the Chicago & Northwestern
buvs it, 1t may ultimately be completed to
Ogden. if not actually extended to the
Pacific coast. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Pail would like to control the line
because it traverses a rich agricultural
section and taps the Wyoming oil and
coal fields. insuriGg a profitable source of
revenue to the company operating it.

Mrs. Divine, a widow, of Cornwall, N.
Y, went to church Sunday, leaving her
two little girls, Nora and fanny, aged
respectively six and four years, alone in
the house. Half an hour later Mrs.
Benton, the wife of a neighboring
farmer, saw the children sitting on the
grass under an apple tree, striking every
few moments at something on the
ground After each stroke they cream
ed with laughter.
Mrs. Benton's curiosity was aroused,
and she crossed the road to see what was
amusing them. As she approached them
Nora cried gleefully, "Big worm
playin' peekaboo wit u.s." She had
hardly ceased speaking when half the
length of a great copperhcad snake
darted out of the hole in the direction of
the children. Two switches descended
smartly upon it and the ugly head was
quickly pulled back.
Mrs. Benton called to her husband,
who was watching her, and rushing for
ward she dragged the little girls away
from the hole. Mr.. Benton arrived Just
as the snake looked out again to see
h had become of them. The farmers
stick fell upon his head and he went
back no more. His body was very
nearly four feet long. Mrs. Divine
tainted when she saw the snake and
heard the story, but the children
wept and refused to be comforted be-
cause their playmate was dead.-Hart-

Color Line In the r. O. $. A.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 25.-The ques-
ton OF admitting colored members into
the Patriotic Order of Sons of America
occupied most of todaYs session. All
ballots resulted the sRme-59 Tor and 81
against it. Most OF the opposition to elm
mating the word ''whiie"from the constl.
tuition comes from the Illinois and Ohio
delegates, who voted as a unit against it.
The sentiment of the convention was
strongly in favor OF admission, the Penn
sylvania delegation being unanimous in
the colored mans favor, but the arbi-
trary clause in the constitution requiring
a four-fifths vote to change the constitu
ton enabled the opponents to defeat the
measure. Some OF the friends of the
measure changed their votes SO as to
move a reconsideration. and the question
will be called up again probably. Geo.
p. Smith was nominated for national
nresldent.

What's in a dream? Nothing, of
course, say most people, and specially
those practically inclined. Sometimes
their faith in this statement is some
what shaken however. Such was the
case with an Augusta CMe.) woman.
She had lost a pair of shears several
months before, but the incident had
passed from her mind, when of an after
moor she fell asleep on the sofa and
dreamed that she had discovered the
scissors were about the sofa. Waking,
she began to grope around. Finally she
started to look under the sofa, and Just
as she placed her hand on the carpet she
remarked, "What a fool l am" AT that
instant her hand came in contact with
the scissors, which had lain under the
carpet since it was put down.-Ex-

Circus Mobbed.

THoMPsoNvuLE, Conn, Aug, 90
There was no performance of the Harper
Bros circus last night. because of a strike
and a riot Just before the show began
the actor and actresses presented them
selves in a body at the office and demand
ed the back wages due them, thinking
this was a good time as there were over
1000 people inside who had paid admis-
sion. H. N. Harper, the proprietor, re-
fused to pay them, whereupon the per-
formers declined to go on with the show.
AS soon as it was noised about among the
crowd thai the performers had struck a
demand was made by many for a return
of their money. Harper was in the ticket
Office. and while the excited crowd was
shouting for their money he hastily put
the receipts i'll a satchel and slid out of
the rear with the cash. AS soon as the
trick was discovered some one cut a guy
rope, which was the signal for the gem
eral demolishnent of all the circus prop
erty. A few of the cooler headed citi-
zens urged that the performers be al
lowed to save their personal baggage.
The mob. however. demanded that
everything should be confiscated. A
fierce argument resulted over this point,
but 1t was finally decided TO spare the
baggage of the performers.
Fire the tent" was the next cry. A
part of the mob then went for kerosene
oil and the tent was saturated and the
match applied. The big tent burned like
finder and was soon consumed, making a
great blaze that lighted the sky for miles
around. A rush was then made for the
tent where the horses were stabbed and all
the animals cut loose. They stampeded
through. the streets and many of the
inhabitants who had not joined the mob
caught and stabbed as many OF the horses
as possible.
When the local police-appeared on the
scene they drew their revolvers and or
dered the mob to disperse, but the excited
crowd cared nothing for pistols. and the
work of destruction went on. After the
wagons had been fred the mob seemed
anpeased and retired, leaving the police
in charge of the ruins. The show has
been doing a good business, but the per
formers say that the money has been
taken to Worcester every few days and
deposited there. Nothing has been seen
of Harper. but the officers arc after him.
The feeling against him is intense. and he
probably saved his life as we'll as his cash
by flight. To some of the performers he
owed as much as $235. The hotel keep
ers and other creditors rave placed attach
ments on the horses that have been cap.
