CRISP CONSIDERING.
May Not Appoint Committees for q
Fortnight.
A COMING TRIUMPH FOR CON-
GRESHAM REED.

The Speaker Anticipates a Long Session
-Speculations About the Sherman Law
and Its Repeal-A Resort to the Reed
Rules Will Be Found Unavoidable.
Washington, August 1.-Speaker Crisp
has undoubtedly placed himself under
the ban of the Mugwumps, for, in the
few things he has said since he has been
here he has left it clear that he does not
think that the work of the extra session
will be speedily accomplished, and that
there is a probability that the special
session may be continued into the regu
lar session. This is, of course, heresy to
those who assume that the silver law is
to be repealed in two weeks and Con-
gress to be then sent home.
The time is coming when the advocates
of the repeal of the silver law will do
well to understand that their cause will
not be served by either deceiving them
selves or misleading the people, and that
the business interests of the country will
not be promoted by holding out false
hopes of immediate action upon this
mentarians, and those who are in a posi-
tion to understand the sentiment of the
coming Congress best, know that there
is no probability of immediate action,
that the debates upon the subject may
continue for long period.
And now comes Speaker Crisp today
and says that he may not appoint his
committees even for two weeks. This is
increasing hope that the silver purchase
law be repealed, but it would be unwise
for business men to make their plans on
the basis of immediate action by Con-
gress.
Mr.. Crisp does not set good example
for -partisanship in the matter of the
silver purchase act. He speaks of it
privately with some bitterness as a
Republican law, and thus invites his
political opponents TO make it plain that
the majority of its supporters were DEM
ocrats. MI. Crisp is not broad man.
On the CONTRARY he is an intense
partisan. But it had been supposed that
in this crisis he would not enter upon
his duty with the language of partisan
ship.
The utterances of Mr.. Crisp have
created the impression that he will favor
a very radical change in the rules of the
House in the direction of the system
which he, with others of his party,
denounced SO bitterly when Speaker
Reed devised and enforced it. The indi-
cations are. for that matter, that this
Congresses to be one of personal triumph
for Mr. Reed of Maine
He will undoubtedly discover that the
Democratic leaders despair of carrying
out their tariff policy, or of accomplish
ing substantial legislation of any sort,
without recourse to the very system for
which he was so sharply denounced by
the Democratic party, although his de-
cisions have been sustained by the United
States Supreme court.

SECRETARY HERBERT,
His Pleasant Visit to the ship-Building
City.
Especial to the Press.J


Bath, Me-, August 1.--Secretary L. Her
bert and his daughter arrived in Bath at
little past 10 this morning. AS the
Dolphin came up the river she was greet
ed with salutes from many whistles and
the ancient cannon doomed forth Is
times, in token of the presence of the
chief of Uncle Sans navy. The Secre-
tary spent the day as the guest of Gener-
al Hyde at Elmhurst, meeting among
others several of the survivors of the
Third Maine regiment. This regiment
captured Mr.. Herbert at the battle of
Fair Oaks, and Sergeant Allen saved his
life by striking up the muzzle of the
gun with which a soldier was about to
shoot him. Sergeant Allen, to whom
the distinguished gentleman owes his
life. was afterwards killed at the battle
of Gettysburg. The veterans who greet
ed Secretary Herbert today were Chas.
7. Hooper, F. P. Shepard, John H. Ray
mond, J. F. Durgin, Chas. III. Greenleaf,
William Fl. Watson and John S. Wiggin
They passed an enjoyable hour in re-
counting war "reminiscences.
An enjoyable lawn party was given at
EImhurst tonight in honor of the Secre-
tary. Chandier's Orchestra of eight
pieces furnished music and Caterer Rob-
inson furnished the lunch. The grounds
and residence were handsomely ;llumi-
mated and the affair, which was gotten
up at short notice, was one of the most
enjoyable ever given at Elmhurst.

New Hampshire Man Hoodwinked in His
Own Carriage.

Still Troubled Times in the Orient-En-
kok-Siam Accedes to All France De-
mands, but the Republic Continues to
Browbeat-The Rising in the Argen-
tine.
Washington, August Milo A. Jew
ett, United States Consul at Sivas, Tur-
key, reports to the State Department
that he had just returned at the date of
his letter (July s. from a visit to the al
most inaccessible district in Asiatic Tur-
key, which was devastated by an earth
quake three months ago, and he tells of
suffering almost unprecedented. The
effects of the disturbance, he says, were
confined to mountainous territory
about 30 miles square, of which Malatia
and Adiaman are the principal villages.
Two thousand houses wore entirely
ruined, 5000 others were rendered unfit
for habitation, 9l3 people were killed
and much greater number injured, and
9700 cattle, horses, sheep and goats per-
ished. Weeks of severe suffering have
followed the catastrophe, aggravated in
that mountainous country by snow and
rain. A result of the exposure has been
the death of large number of children.
The Turkish government sent army
tents and issued daily rations of bread
to the stricken people, and the Sultan
sent pecuniary assistance. The suffering
is by no means ended, as the loss of hui
man life and of working cattle Will pre-
vent the reaping of reasonable crops.

GIVING WHEAT TO THE HOGS.
Result Of the Low Prices at Which Grain
Is Selling.

Fostoria, O., August LA large num-
Der Of farmers in this vicinity are feed
ing their hogs with wheat rather than sell
it at the low prices now ruling. Hogs
are quoted at from Sc to 81 hundred,
according to grade, and it is estimated
that bushel of wheat properly ground
ard prepared, and fed with a little other
feed to give variety, will put from Is to
20 pounds of flesh on healthy hog. This
being the case, the farmer can easily
realize 81 bushel for his wheat and
save the trouble of hauling it to market.
