SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s--The ultimate
fate of unconditional repeal in the senate
affords theme for the widest speculation.
There is no longer any doubt that there
is majority in the senate in favor OF
the prompt passage OF the repeal bill.
The free silver minority, however, are
determined To prolong the contest to the
bitter end. As the, rules of tho senate
place no limit upon debate, the silver sci .
ators have 1t apparently in their power TO
stave OIL a vote for an indefinite period of
time. 1t is their purpose to delay that
event as long as possible. 1t is the plan
OF the administration Democrats, as soon
as the repeal bill has passed the house, to
adjourn that body from day to day in or
der that public attention may be concen-
trated upon the senate.
They no pc then to bring the most tre-
mendous pressure Of public opinion,
newspaper expressions. public meetings.
resolutions OF commercial bodies aud
financial organizations to bear upon the
free silver advocates.
Nothing is more certain than at this
time the silver senators are determined
to prolong the fight as much as pos
sibe. 1t is their hope that as the
weeks pass by new element will enier
into the sil uation and work toward their
relief. This would DO an Improvement
in the financial ard commercial situation
and would operate to lesson this tremen-
dous pressure of public opinion which
will be brought to bear upon the senate

SAM MACLEOD'S SCHEME.

to Fire School Board Employees
Who Vote Against Him.
Sam Macleod, superintendent of school
buildings, by offensive partisanship, has in
CURED the displeasure of certain members
of the Board Of Education. His work In the
recent judicial primaries was freely COM
mented on by IL BEE.
1t is now reported that he is determined TO
whip his subordinates into line and coerce
them into voting for his preferred council
manic candidate. During the city primaries
Macleod discovered that Mat Hoover, who
for ten years has been foreman of repairs for
the school board, was not supporting Mac
leod's candidate for the council. The latter
protested and finally ordered Hoover to de-
sist. Hoover claimed the right to vote for
whom he pleased. Macleod attempted to
bulldoze his subordinate, but was forcibly
notified that he could not do so. Suisse
quently he told a certain party that Hoover
would not long remain on the payroll of the
board.
Mr.. Hoover was seen about the matter. but
was not inclined to talk. He did say, how
ever, that no man could tell him how he must
vote.
Two members of the school board are en-
deavoring to hit upon a plan to bring about
the dismissal of Macleod from the service
of the board. They favor the abolition of
the Office he holds and propose that all re-
pair work shall be done under direction Of
the committee on property and buildings.

TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Current Rumors of a Combination Between
."'' suHascall, Bennett and Elier. 2'n, VI
Since the three local political parties have
placed in nomination their city aud county
tickets for the coming election many schemes
have been concocted. The latest combina-
ton was arranged Thursday afternoon! By
this arrangement the conspirators hope that
Ike Hascall will be elected mayor. As a
bait for the prohibition vote it Is widely
rumored that if he is elected he will close
the disorderly houses and enforce the
Slocumb law regarding the saloons.
A meeting is said to have been held at the
residence of Police Officer Cory at $3.50
Charles street recently. 1t was attended by
a faithful few" who were especially in
vited to be present by those most interested.
Among those present. were certain men,
bers of the American Protective association,
Ike Hascall, Attorney Covell and a recent
candidate for the nomination for mayor on
the republican ticket. The meeting was for
the purpose of assisting Hascall in his cam
paign for mayor and incidentally to down
Mayor Bemis. cr
1t is said that the members of the Ameri-
can Protective association were after the
scalps of Chief Of Police Seavey, Captain
Mostyn, Sergeant Ormsby, Officer Keysor
and Fire Chief Galligan, Several speeches
WcEc ulduc, anu oil VI JueSt peoplc udu SOlut-
thing to demand OF the would be mayor.
In a spasm of joy Hascal is alleged to
have made one Of his talks against time"
in which he made all sorts OF Utopian
pledges and agreed to heed the demands
made by the different factions present, pro-
vided. of course. that he was elected. After
agreeing to depose the above named officers
from their responsible positions, which they
have creditably filled for years, he was to
abolish the disorderly houses and appoint
either Churchill or Covell as city attorney.
He was to spend all sorts of public moneys
and give everybody a good job.
After the meeting adjourned 1T is said
upon good authority that the American Pro
tective association held Il special meeting
and agreed that they would make Hascall a
member OF their organization. II Is further
alleged that he was to have been initiated
on Friday evening under a special dispense
tiOn in Attorney Covell's office. 1t Is also re-
ported that Hascall is now a full hedged
member of lodge No. 5, American Protective
association.
According to the song of the political
dickey birds, it has been practically agreed
to make certain trades on the populist and
and republican tickets in favor of Judge
| Eller and Sheriff Bennett,
Since then the conspirators have been
working with might and main to carry Out
their scheme and make. IL possible for the
election Of Hascall, Bennet and Eller al
the expense of all other candidates.
