SHIRAS MAY BE BEATEN.
THE DEMOCRATS NoTINCLINED TO
PERMIT CCNFIRMATION.

The Judiciary Committee Again Falls
to Act on the Nomination and II
Goes over TIL To-morrow-An Eff
fort to Be Made to Stave OF Con-
frmation TIL the Next Session.
WAsHINGroN, July 3-After the brief
session of the Senate judiciary COMMITTEES
to-day, it seemed less likely that the Shiras
nomination would be confirmed at this ses.
sion. The four democrats, Senators Vest,
George, Coke and Pugh, who in the absence
OF three of the republicans control the com-
mittee, had again refused. although no
formal vote was taken, 90 report the nomi-
nation 20 the Senate favorably or unfavor-
ably. Moreover they had intimated plainly
TO the two republican members OF the COM
mittee that they had no present inten-
ton of permitting the nomination
TO be reported to the Senate.
AS congress is almost certain TO adjourn
within week or ten days, this was equiva-
lent TO saying the nomination was to be
"hung up" until next session. It became
apparent that Senator Cameron had done
more than no set out to do. He may have
meant only to discipline the President, bus

MAY NEVER BE CONFIRMED.
Unless the democrats Of the committee.
which is TO meet again on Monday, its regu-
lar meeting day, change their purpose
anwhile 1t seems az though Mr.. Shiras
would have to walt till next
session, which means that he may not be
confirmed at all, for the democrats seem TO
be moved by the desire to keep the present
vacancy upon the bench open till after the
election, so that il ex-President Cleveland
is elected they may either induce with~
drawRl OF Mr.. Shiras and the appointments
OF demoorat by President Harrison, or
failing that. they would be able 10 keep the
vacancy open until after March 4,
confirming Mr.. ShIras, Of course, If
President Harrison should be re-
elected. All the democrats outside
the committee do not approve
this purpose and the influence
of those who do not, with the influence Of
the newspapers which do not approve, may
change It. The argument for it is that
there are now five out of eight republicans
on the supreme bench, that there is q
possibility on account of the health Of
justices Field aud Lamar of two vacancies
among the three democrats before March 4.
that with the new appellate courts in full
aperation the supreme court can get along
till congress meets without successor TO
Justice Bradley and with vacancy ON
account Of the absence of Justice
Harlan on the Bering sea arbitration CONS
mittee, which absence the Senate, they say,
Is not responsible for The admnistrati a
men IN the Senate aud the Yale men who
are friendly to the nomiua alton talk Of NOV
lug to discharge the judiciary COMMITTEES
from consideration OF the nomination.
should II not act on Monday, by way OF
getting 10 before the Senate. should they
attempt this successfully, the opponents OF
the nomination could easily tslk it TO sleep
in the few executive sessions which could
be held before adjournment. Should they
try it and fail the nomination would he
pigeonholed until the next session.

HILLS PLANS UNCERTAIN.
His Resignation a Matter of Doubt.
To Stump New York.


To Stump New York.
WASHINGTON. July %. 3.-Senasor David
B. Hill has, it is understood, intimated to
some OF his friends that he might resign.
but that he has not definitely decided that
he will and just when he will is not known.
Ons difficulty in the way OF his resignation
at this time is that special session OF the
legislature would have to be called 20 elect
his successor, or If they failed TO do this the
election would go over until the meeting OF
the new legislature in January. Whether
this new legislature is to be democratic
or republican remain yet to
be seen. and it is probable
therefore, that if Mr.. Hill has made up his
mind definitely to resign. he will not do SO
until after the complexion of the legislature
is known. and will not resign at all should
that legislature be republican. There is
probably good foundation for the belief
that IL the democrats carry the new legisla-
ture Mr.. Hill will give them 40 opportunity
to elect two democratic senators instead Of
one. 1t is understood that Mr.. Hill will
take an active part in the New York CAM
paign, and a schedule of speeches to be
made to the state is being prepared by
him

AID FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Fate OF the Appeal to Congress
Still Uncertain.

The Fate of the Appeal to Congress
Still Uncertain.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The indications
from the work Of the sundry civil conferees
up to the present date are that there will be
a number OF bills in addition to the worlds
fair amendment on which there will be q
disagreement between the Senate and
House conferses, and on each Of which IL
must be voted to determine whether or not
the Senate or House will recede from its po-
sition. This will delay vote on the
worlds fair proposition, and although it's
friends are hoping for q speedy vote the
managers OF the House are inclined TO
think that there will be so many items ia
the conference report that 1t will take
Tuesday and very likely Wednesday also to
bring the whole of the amendments to a
vote, even though unusual delay should not
be ccasioned by hlibustering. A number Of
probable filibuEters said during the after-
noon that their folio wers were inclined
to fight with all the means the law allowed
them. and that although there had been
a conference among them there Is an idea
common to them all that they must fight
the amendment. The indefinite character
OF the movement is due in part TO lack Of
knowledge on the part Of the filibusters
as co how mauy votes they can command,
and also to the fact that they cannot tell at
present but they may have enough votes to
beat the amendment squarely. They will
seek through some amendment to secure
test vote which will show the strength of
each side in the House before determining
whether or not flibustering campaign
shall be started.

RUSsIA'S epidemic.
It Has Appeared at Various Places in
the Crimea.


the Crimea.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 23.-It Is au-
nounced that cholera has appeared at Mini
Novgorod, Sarapoul, Novo Cherkask and at
various places in the Crimea.
Fresh riots have occurred among the
peasants, small tradesmen and me-
ohanics OF Seratoff, who resent any
attempt to improve the sanitary condi-
tion of affairs. These riots, however,
are less serious than those that oourred at
Astrakhan. Disturbances are common on
board steamers plying on the Volga. Many
passengers on these steamers have died
from cholera and the people are so generally
filled with fear of the disease that even a
rumor of Its presence causes panic on the
steamers.
Advices received here from SaratofY arc
to the effect that troops are bivouacad in
the streets and are patroliing the town for
the purpose OF suppTessing disorders due to
the intense excitement in connection with
the cholera epidemic. Disorders Of a sim
liar nature to those which have been pre-
vailing In SRTatoff have occurred in other
cholera infected places and the inhabitants
of the village OF BallRoiava have destroyed
the hospital at that plaoe in the face Of a
guard who were sent to protect the build
ing.

SPRINGER WAS FRANK.

There was certain guileless frankness
in Springer's replies To the questions
put to him by an interviewer in New
York as telegraphed TO the News. Mr..
Springer did his full duty by his party
in declaring without a blush or quiver
that there was no factional estrangement
among the Democrats in Congress, but
his native honesty got the better of him
an instant later when not without pathos
he confessed that Mills was every
combative man.
He had not recovered from his honesty
when the query was put, would Catch
ings have much TO do on his committee,
for he replied with naive freedom that
there were two or three contested cleo
tion cases, but 1--WE have good work
ing majority"
Did you mean to run for speaker
ship, Mr.. Springer. or merely To help
Mr. Crisp" asked the bold interviewer,
who realized that he had had the luck
TO find his man in talkative mood
"Were you last ditch man in good
earnest?'
Il was" averred Springer, solemnly,
"and four of my men stuck by me TO
the end" did you give the others per-
mission to 'slop over"" Here Mr..
Springer may have paused and medi-
tated, but he was in the confessional. A
controlling impulse was upon him, and
he answered: "Well, we had a consul
tation, and that was thought best, but
the four would stick by me-" Unhappy
Mr.. Springer, who could not deliver the
full amount of goods agreed upon, and
yet the four who would stick" saved
appearances for him, and were not
needed to insure Crisps calling and
election.
"Will Hill take rank with German in
the Senate 2" was the interviewer's last
query, aud Mr.. Springer smiled his
sweetest as he said in honeyed accents
that nobody was big man in Washing
ton. Poor Mr.. Hill TO be so swallowed
up; candid Mr.. Springer to unbosom
himself so readilyl

"BUMoRING" THE FARMERS.

A venturesome New York reporter,
finding Congressman Springer in talk
ative mood, asked him yesterday IL he
thought free wool bill would pass the
Senate; to which Mr.. Springer is repre-
sented as giving the following remark
able reply:
Yes, think that would pass the Senate.
The manufacturers feel like humoring the
agricultural interests, which are now SO
largely represented in Congress.
So Mr.. Springers idea of "humoring'
the farmers is to take the tariff off one
of their most important products. Per-
haps the wool raisers of Ohio and Texas
will like this style of humoring. Per-
haps they will like the idea of being
humored at all, but we doubt it.
Rhode Island can stand free wool. The
representative daily of the State can
view the Springer program with toler-
able equanimity so far as local interests
are concerned. But what will Texas
say?

HOLMAN's DILEMMA.

Holman has an ambition: it is TO cut
down the appropriations by 500, 900, 900.
A short time ago he set the figure ut
Sl1s,000, 900. but the smaller sum he
would now find more than satisfactory.
How is Holman's ambition TO be graf
ified? Mr.. Holman is aware, or most of
his Democratic friends have knowledge,
that the people will not tolerate any re-
ductions to be made which Will cripple
the work of rebuilding the navy and
providing Modern Notifications for the
seaboard. Neither can the army expend-
itures be cut down, especially in that
branch which relates TO coast defenses.
The farmers will not allow any curtail-
ment of the operations of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Any attempt 10
cut down the pension appropriation is
certain to be resented and rebukcd. The
workingmen expect substantial appro-
priations for public buildings and river
and harbor Improvements.
1t is possible TO squeeze the Indians
who cannot resent it for million or
two, and to put off paying a few mil
lions in claims against the government
until the Presidential election is over,
but these are mean and pitiful econo-
mics, indeed, when compared with Hol-
