REPUBLICANS Did 1T.
They Came Calamity to the Rescue
in the House.
THE WILSON BILL PASSED BY A
VOTE OF $40 TO ITO

And All the Amendments keJecIeu-IHe
Action of the House Likely to Have
Powerful Influence With the Senate
Speeches of Republican Leaders, In
cluding Messrs. Reed and Boutelle.
Helped Bring the Result About.
Especial to the Press.]
Washington, August 2S.-It was the
Republicans that again today came to
the relief of the country. Had it not
been for their vote in defeating the vari-
Gus coinage amendments proposed by
Mr.. Bland and in voting for the passage
of the Wilson bill, it would have been
impossible to have prevented free coin
age amendments to the Wilson bill for
the repeal of the Sherman silver law
from passing the House. An analysis of
the votes cast will show that the bulk of
the affirmative votes on the amendments,
that is to say, in favor of the free coin
age of silver, came from the Democratic
side and that the Democrats on the
negative side of the question were heavi-
ly outnumbered, and only owed their
victory to the loyal way in which they
were supported by the Republicans.
The speeches made by the Republicans
during the debate and especially those of
Messrs. Reed and Boutelle on Saturday
had much to do with winning men to
the right side and in preventing those
wavering from jumping over the traces.
1t is just as well that these things should
be known.
The effect on the Senate Of this over
whelming vote in the House is bound to
be good The general impression now
is that the Senate cannot much longer
hold out against the force of public
opinion, and that the majority for repeal
will have to take matters into their own
hands and force vote if the silver men
show any disposition to filibuster. 1t is
more than likely, however, that the sill
yer men will yield and, after having
made their speeches and brought their
propositions before the Senate to be vot-
ed on and defeated, they will then inter-
pose no further opposition to prevent a
vote being taken on repeal.

ST. Johns, N. F., August 2S.-Further
d1scouraging news concerning the Peary
expedition comes from Labrador by the
mail steamer arriving here last, night.
According to the last report, Peary was
at Davis inlet August 2, and on the fifth
had reached Main. There he tried again
20 purchase dogs but failed. He offered
the Esquimaux forty cents each for dogs,
but as they were worth four OF five dol
lars each, the Esquimaux would not sell.
Peary lefi for Okkak, the next Moravian
settlement, but as he would not pay
greater prices there either, he could not
get dogs. Then he announced his In
tention of going to Hebron, Ramah, and
other settlements further north, making
every effort to secure dogs at those
places. If unsuccessful he was depending
upon getting dogs at Drisco, Greenland,
as last resort. AS the burros had all
perished before Main was reached, it was
impossible for the expedition to accom-
plish anything without a far greater
number of dogs than was at first consid-
cred necessary. 1t is believed that Peary' S
actions are suicidal. The steamer was
before delayed month behind the regu
lar time, rendering it problematicnl if she
reaches her destination at all, and it is
almost cetain that she will be frozen up
before the cargo and supplies are un-
loaded.

p. X. PECK, assistant postmaster of Rut-
land, in under arrest, charged with obtain
ing money under false pretences. Suit is
brought by w. II. Proctor of Fairhaven,
who, it is said loaned Peck money on note
endorsed by his mother, upon a statement
by Peck that she owned a homestead in
Rutland valued at $1,000, on which there
was a mortgage of only 81 900. When Peck s
note fell due and was not paid it is stated
that Proctor discovered that Mrs. Peck s
property was mortgaged for nearly S4 900.
Hence the suit. Peck asserts his innocence
and claims that the suit is brought because
of local feud in the democratic party.

How differently people see things!
Some people have to get very near to see
things, others hold them off to look at
them. Some people think the moon looks
as big as a silver dollar, others as big as a
cartwheel. And some people think the
moon is green and others call it yellow.
But to those who see through sick eyes
there is no doubt that the world looks un-
mistakably blue.
There are people who worry about the
price of rents next year, foresee trouble from
comets not yet visible, and get thin over
smashes and crashes that never come.
The cause of this uncomfortable state of
mind is very often bad digestion, nervous
depression, or general debility. Health
is hopeful. Things looked blue to the
bright young woman whose portrait is

Two Young Girls Assaulted and Murdered.
Two girls named Ray, aged sixteen and

Welded to Princess Maya Brilliant
Affair.
PRINCE GEORGE of Wales, the Duke Of
York, was welded to Princess Victoria May
of Teck, in the Chapel Royal, st. James
palace, at noon last week Thursday. 1t was
an event to which all England has looked
forward with great interest and was at
tended by large gathering of members of
the British royal family, continental sover-
egns, or their representatives, and many
members of the highest nobility. The
weather was beautiful, and the occasion was
made one of national rejoicing and par
tial British holiday. Great crowds of peo-
pie gathered along the line of route from
Buckingham palace, up Constitution hill,
through Piccadilly, st. James street, and
Marlborough Gate to the garden entrance
to st. James palace. The bride wore the
veil which was worn by her mother on the
occasion of her marriage. The Archbishop
of Canterbury, assisted by other clergymen,
performed the ceremony. The bride was
given away by her father.
