THE HOUSE AND SILVER.
The result Of the vote on the
silver question in the house Of
representatives last week was just
what we have been expecting all
along, although the majority in
favor Of the repeal Of the purchas-
ing clause Of the Sherman bill was
larger than had been anticipated.
That the bestowal Of patronage
had a great deal to do with the
result is not to be denied and
there were not a few who voted
for repeal simply because they
wanted TO be on the strong side.
The majority for repeal was about
double what it was estimated it
would be, but the vote in the
house is no indication of what
may be expected in the senate.
The senate committee has al
ready reported the Voorhees, bill
as a substitute for the Wilson bill
which was the one which passed
the house last week and this ac-
ton makes it certain that il the
senate would pass any bill provid-
ing for the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act, it
will not be the bill which passed
the house. The Voorhees, bill
does not differ materially from the
Wilson bill except that it pledges
the government to bimetallism.
The monometallists claim that
there will be 40 difficulty in pass
ing a bill providing for the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act through the senate
and they are confident that the
moral effect of the overwhelming
majority in the house will help
the bill through the senate, but
the senate will not be influenced
by the action of the house in the
slightest degree. Without the
three senators whom the senate
has decided are not entitled to
seats, there may be a majority in
the senate for repeal when the
time comes for a vote on the ques-
ton, but this is by no means GER
tain. The free coinage senators
will make the most of their oppor-
tunities to delay the passage of a
bill providing for the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
bill unless there be a provision in
the bill for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
With the Sherman law out OF
the way it might be harder to pass
a free coinage bill through the
senate than it would be now, and
the free coinage men are not going
to do anything to prejudice the
cause of silver. The debate IL
the senate over the Voorhees, bill,
will be a long one and if the bill
should finally passIit will have t.
go to the house where there viii
be another delay before it will be
ready for the signature of the
President.
The free coinage men are still
confident that they can prevent
the passage of the bill by the sen.
ate, but it may be that they viii
need the votes of the three sena
tors who have been denied seats
in the senate.

ONE of the results of the vote
in the house on the silver ques.
ton is the organization Of a new
political party in the state of Col
orado. Similar action is likely to
be taken in other states in the
west and south and the next con-
gressional election will be fought
on the silver question if congress
does not pass a bill providing for
free coinage before adjournment
next summer.

THE campaign in Ohio will COM

monometallist as he is a protec-
ZIONIST. The democrats in Ohio
are going to fight protection and
recommendation in the Buckeye
state this year and they are going
to win. The result may have a
good effect on congressman who
are anxious to serve another term.

LAST week the President APP
pointed Lorion Miller, Of Albu-
querque, secretary of New Mexico.
There were a number of candidates
for this position and at least four
of them were confident of reciev-
ing the appointment. Miller was
bitterly opposed by Judge Brinker,
who, when he was judge of the sec
ond judicial district of this Terri
tory, appointed Miller clerk of the
court. 1t is said that Brinke1
wanted Miller to divide the fees
with him and Miller objected. The
opposition of Brinker was the
only obstacle in the way of Miller's
appointment and it would have
been made at an earlier date than
it was had it not been for the op-
position of the judge. Miller is
one Of the most popular democrats
in Albuquerque and the appoint
ment will give general satisfaction
all over the Territory.

Senate Proce etlings.

WASHINGTON, D. O., August 20.-Mr.
Voorhees,, chairman Of the finance COM
mittee, reported back the house bill
repeating part Of tho Sherman act, with
an amendment in the nature OF o sub
stitute. He asked that the bill be
placed on the calendar, and, he gave
notice that he should ask the senate to
take it up and consider 1t immediately
after the morning business from this
time on till final action be taken.
The substitute, he said, was exactly
the bill heretofore reported from the
finance committee. He understood
that notice OF an intention to address
the senate had been given by the sena-
tor from Georgia (Mr. Gordonl and the
senator from Ohio (Nlr. Sherman), and
he suggested that thOrc remarks might
be made on the bill which he had just
reported. He explained further that
the bill as reported from the finance
committee was identical with that
passed by the house SO far as concerned
the repeal OF tho purchasing clauses OF
the Sherman act; and that from that
point on there was certain matter in
Tho substitute which was not in tho
house bill, and which in his judgment
improved it and made it more accepta-
BILE.
Mr.. Teller-Does the Senator propose
to call up his bill to-dayP
Mr.. Voorhees-lf there be a single
objection it must 90 over. under tho
rules.
Mr.. Teller-I object
MIR. VoorhAes-Then have the right
to call up the bill already before the
senate.
Mr.. Teller-The national bank bill be-
ing before the senate, [ have sought an
opportunity to express my opinion
upon 1t.
Mr.. Voorhees-I shall certainly ac-
commodate the senator by moving to
take up the national bank bill.
Mr.. Tellcr-That bill is up.
Mr.. Voorhees-Very well. Let it be
understood that the senator from Colo
RADIO objects to this bill being made a
special order to-day That question
takes the bill over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Harris said that the substitute
Just reported was majority report, in
which the minority Of the committee
did not concur.
The bill was placed on the calendar.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Mr.. Stewart was then laid before the
senate. 1t directs tho secretary Of the
treasury to inform tho senate whether
there is danger of deficiency in the
revenues OF the government concurrent
year, and II so what is the probable
amount OF such deficiency and whether
legislation is necessary to supply such
deficiency.
The resolution gave rise to a long dis
cnssion. Senators Sherman, Voorhees,.
Mills, Mcpherson aud Harris opposed
the resolution as calling for problemat-
ical statements as calculated to create
needless alarm or aa rejecting on the
secretary Of the treasury. A motion to
refer the resolution to the fna1ce COM
mittee was made by Mr.. Voorhees,.
That motion was opposed by Mr.. Hill
and by Mr.. Stewart. Finally the resol.
ution was referred to the finance com.
mittee, yeas 40; nays 10. The senators
voting nay were Messrs. Allen, Call,
Dubors, Hansbrough, Hill, Irby, Jones,

BALTIMORE, Nd, August 20.-Not
since the big flood OF 1868 has auch a
deluge OF water invaded Baltimore as
that of last night, The wind blew a
gale all afternoon, damaging all moveble
property. 1t continued, with rain, with
intense fury in the evening, until an
early hour this morning.
Roofs and chimneys were torn off,
shuttera and window p0nes were
smashed and trees uprooted. Telegraph
and telephone wires were soon wrecked
and the electric lights went out, leav-
ing the greater part OF tho city in
darkness. On the bay mountainous
seas were piled up and rolled high in
the basin. Men rowed around in boats
from store to store in the lower part OF
the city, carrying merchants and clerks
to their places OF business and remov-
ing yaluables and books. The wharyes
were completely submerged, ii not de-
stroyed.
Az the foot Of Commerce street, the
large Aour warehouse OF Gambrill q Co.
and othes firms were flooded and thous.
ands Of barrels OF flour damaged.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad ware
houses and freight station at the foot OF
Spears wharf also suffered to the ex-
tent OF thousands OF dollars.
From Elkton, Maryland, Carlisle, Pa,

the water is high and buildings were
demolished. The peach crop is ruined
