Tho Escape Of Prisoners.

Abundant evidence is daily forth
coming that prisons are not by any
means 10 be relied on for the safe
keeping OF those whose liberty has
been temporarily restricted by the
pconouncement OF the law. Given a
certain amount OF patience, ingenu-
ity, alertness and nerve, and the
chances Of a criminals eventual
escape from enforced confinement be-
come in many cases quite sppreci-
able. Should, however, the latest
improvement in prison construction
be adopted. this possibility would be
reduced to a minimum. 1t is pro-
posed to build cells OF iron or steel
interconmunicating pipes in which
water would be maintained under
pressure The theory of the inven-
tor Is that an attempt to break out
OF dungeon thus constructed would
result in damage TO the tell-tale
tubes. the smallest puncture in which
would cause a leak, Of which quick
notice would be transmitted to the
warders by the reduction Of pressure,
and tie consequent sounding Of an
alarm The idea is ingenious. and
whether or not it should prove 10 be
practicable, il may form the nucleus
Of feasible plan of increasing the
safety OF prisons.

English Working Girls Tired of Life by
the Time They Reach Is.
Rev. Stopford Brooke is doing his
best to raise support for the Women's
Trade Union League, an organization
which is intended to raise the status
Of the poorest class of English
women workers Speaking on the
subject the other day, Mr.. Brooke
said thousands of these poor women
were living on the very verge of
starvation, their hours OF labor pro-
tracted to the very last strain OF the
rope without moments peace of
mind, without a moments leisure for
self-education or for enjoyment, and
when, with throbbing eyes and shak-
ing hands and palsied brain they
staggered into bed, it is only to sleep
in unhealthy rooms sleep that does
not rest them, and to rise day after
day for years and years to the same
round of hopeless toll.
The women TO whom he alluded
earned from 6s. to Is. week, while
those grade above them earned lbs
for more skilled work, each class
laboring ten hours day.
"0f what use is my life: Why
should | go on living?" one of these
workers, a girl of is, said to him

spector was coming, and anyhow they
dare not betray the truth to him.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Stewart and Jones Speak Against Silve


Stewart and Jones Speak Against Silver
Repeal.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-In the senate
today, Stewart of Nevada resumed his
argument against the silver repeal bill
The Republican silver senators say
their course will depend entirely on the
Democratic silver senators. They have
said from the beginning that whenever
the Democrats should refuse to aid them
in obstructive measures they would
allow voting to begin.
There was q conference during the
forenoon of some of the repeal leaders
of the house, but the precise nature of
which could not be ascertained.
Stewart IN answer to the charge that
those who opposed the bill were thwart-
ing the will of the majority, denied that
such was the case. The filibusterers
were not the silver men, but the admin
istration was filibustering against al
lowing the will of the majority to
be expressed. They had used most
corrupt, most aggressive, most outra-
geous means, secret at first, but public
now, to enslave the majority. "Let the
administration take off its hands and let
the majority express itself in the SEN
ate," he said, "and silver will have
nearly two to one."

that If the club is unable to hold the

and assistant engineers in the list OF
officers of United States vessals required
by the existing laws to be citizens OF
this country.
The debate on the bankruptcy bill was
resumed.
benson of Alabama took the floor in
opposition and described at length the
depression of the debtor class, which he
aecribed largely to the demonstration
of silver. He grew heated and there
was lively alteration.
Patterson of Tennessee objected to
the statement that the administration
sought to eliminate silver from the cir
culation, and Bland affirmed that if the
Wilson bill was passed the silver in cir
culation would have to be redeemed in
gold as the greenbacks were.
Dslzell of Pennsylvania supported the
bill.
Ray of New York opposed the bill.
Bryan of Nebraska made a vigorous
speech in opposition to the measure.
At the conclusion of Bryan's speech

argument against the bill.
Jones said he desired a dollar that
would be kept at parity with a pound oi
cotton or bushel OF wheat, and not
with q metal that was constantly in

thought il gold had appreciated interest
would have gone up and labor gone
down, whereas United States bonds had
gone down from 5 to 2 per cent, while
labor had gone mp in irregular, increas-

Jones replied that one of the highest
proofs of the increase in the value OF
money was the decline in the rates oi
interest.
Jones at 8 O'Clock, as he was tired,
