THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE.

For the last ten days a number of
unexpected developments and chang
es have taken place in the U. S. Sen
ate. One day the majority of South
elm and Western Senators were
standing together fighting the efforts
of the gold combine to repeal the
silver law. They were keeping up
the same fight that has gone on for
weeks. 1t seemed that they had
Cleveland and his followers beaten.
Suddenly scheme was sprang for
compromise. This compromise pro-
vided that the Sherman law should
be repealed to go into effect Oct. LIST,
1894, and that the seigniorage of
silver now in the Treasury should be
coined and that the greenbacks and
other small bills under $40 should be
withdrawn from circulation.
Mr.. Carlisle agreed to this COM
promise and 1t is also certain that
Mr.. Cleveland at first gave it his APP
proval. A paper was circulated for
Senators to sign who favored the
compromise. The following (thirty-
six had signed when it was under
stood that Mr.. Cleveland would not
agree to wait even a year for gold
standard. Those who signed the
compromise are as follows;
Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Brice,
Butler, Call, Camden, Cockrell, Coke,
Colquitt, Daniel, Faulkner, George.
Gibson, Gordon, German Gray, Har-
RS, Hunton, Jones, Lindsay, Martin,
Morgan, Murphy, Palmer, Pasco,
Pugh, Ransom, Roach, Smith, Tur-
pie, Vance, Vest, Walthan, White
Ua.), White (Cal.).
1t would have been a victory for
the gold-bugs almost equal to uncon-
ditional repeal, yet every Southern
Senator Except Senator Irby, of
South Carolina) signed it. 1t was a
cowardly surrender. 1t was a sur
render of principle.
But those who pretended to be in
favor of silver were ready to sacri-
fee it in the shape of compromise.
Why? For party harmony-to try
to save the Democratic party at the
next election, while the people are

Anecdotes of General rwrccs.

\ gentleman of this city tells some very
good stories of General Twiggs, the Con-
tolerate commander, who once lived in
st. LOUIS. one winter While the General
was guartered at the Washington House
a fire broke out at night in a livery stable
III the rear of the hotel. All the guests
were up and alarmed by the smoke
which filled the house. General Twiggs'
room was directly opposite that of Mrs.
Smith, the landlady. At the first crv Of
fire she popped her head out of her room
door. At the same instant the old Gem
eral appeared in his long, peaked French
nightcap. simultaneously at the siGbt Of
each other they withdrew their heads.
The alarm increased each moment and
at every fresh howl out came the heads.
This shuttlecock game continued for sew
eral minutes, until the landlady at last
made bold dash Of it and fled along the
hall. The boarders never stopped quiz
zing the old General for his gallantry.
lie was great stIckler, too. for clean
table linen. 70 avoid any possible eX-
change Of napkins, he instructed the head
waiter to tie his cloth up in a big red rib
bon, 50 that there could not possibly be
any mistake. DIR. DeCamp, then OF dutv
at this post, and boarder at the WASH
lngton, one day said to the General that If
was al nonsense to take so much pains
WITH his napkin, and that the waitars
would just as likely change it as not.
My God! man, don't suggest such a
possibility; don't destroy my Illusion"
cried the old General. ''I can't eat a
mouthful if [ can't believe / have nv

asked him If he had ever been in the

An enormous man waddled into drug

1t was superior smile that the agent
for tatness drops emitted. ''Why, OF

are certain rules to be observed, and un-
less you observe them the medicine

Then he took up pamphlet telling all
about Fatness Drops.

A New READING.

Alcoholism, according to NJ. Willard OF
Marseilles, published III a recent number
of EL Sjgi0 -Medico, began thus:
''When Noe was planting the vine
Satan saw him and with his accustomed
curiosity approached him and asked what
he was planting.
"A vine, replied Noe.
"'And what is its use?' asked the
tempter.
'''Its fruit is as agreeable to the sight as
it is delicious to the taste answered the
patriarch, and beverage is made from it
which enlivens the heart OF man,
If that is So said Satan, 1 want to

$50 saying, the Devil took lamb,
killed it. ana sprinkled its blood on the
earth around and in the pit dug for the
vine. He then did the same with lion,
an ape, and a pig, and in this way he irri-
gated the roots OF the vine.
''Since that time, il man drinks mod
erately of wine he becomes mild and
gentle; if he drinks more he becomes
strong and ferocious like the lion; but i
he drinks still more freely he becomes
malicious and crazed like the monkey
and if he drinks to excess ne becomes be-
sotted like the pig, and walIows in the

NO ONE WAS BRIBED.
PANAMA CANAL MONEY DID NOT
REACH THIS COUNTRY.
Interview With Ex-Secrerary of the
Navy Thompson, Late Presi-
dent of the Committee.
Special to the REcoRD.uN1oN.

49, @N4@NSANA'
New YORK, Jan. pa special from
Terre Haute, Ind, says: Hon. r. w.
Thompson, eX-Secretary of the Navy.
and late President of the American Com
mittee on the Panama Canal COMPANY.
in an interview declared he had no
knowledge of any corrupt practices in
connection with the canaLin this country.
and did not believe there was any. The
only persons whom it would have been
any advantage to bribe in Congress
were members of the Foreign Affairs
Committee of the House and the House
Special Interoceanic Canal Committee.
Arguments We're made before the Foreign
Affairs Committee that it was contrary to
the Monroe doctrine to allow a foreign
company to control the canal. Thomp-
son says he made an extended argument
to show that it was not contrary to that
doctrine, which only forbids foreign Gov
ernmental interference on the isthmus.
He showed the section of the charter
granted by the Colombian Government
expressly gave the Supreme Court ofthat
State jurisdiction to annul aud set aside
the Panama concessions in case any for
eign country attempted political control.
De Lesseps himself stated that if there
was to be any political control of the
canal he would prefer that the United
States should be that power, and France
filed statement in our State Department
disclaiming any such political intention,
The nine gentlemen who composed the
Foreign Affairs Committee, and who de-
cided III favor of the canal, were S. S. Cox
of New York (Chairman), Wilson of West
Virginia, Bicknell of Indiana, Hill of
Ohio, Rice of Massachusetts, King of
Louisiana, Herndon, Killinger and Nor
ton. Thompson declared it would be an
insult to intelligence TO assume that these
men were bribed. The special commit
tee reached the same conclusion as the
Foreign Affairs Committee.
1.-The insinuation that l bribed .Judoe
Bicknell, my warm and dear friend here
in Indiana, is preposterous. 1 never
heard anything of this alleged bribery
until lately, and never had any suspicion
of it and gladly welcome the Congress
ional investigation into the affairs Of the
American branch of the canal. All the
assistance [ may be able to give any COM
mittee of Congress I will cheerfully con-
tribute. Every cent of money expended
by us was paid out on acquisitions and
vouchers drawn on three New York
banking g-houses-Seligman Il Co., Wins
low, Lanier d Co. and Drexel, Morgan d
Co., and their books will show how every
cent was spent and who received it
These firms cashed all the acquisitions
issued by the American committee. 1t
was not our concern whether the Panama
Company had money on deposit at these
banks. The fact is. we did not know.
We did not handle the money. We
merely issued acquisitions, and these
banks paid them and charged them to
the canal. The large sums of money
spent by us went for dredgers and loco
motives and cars. L had 500 cars made
right here in Terre Haute alone, and
shipped to the isthmus. All these trans
actions figure on the books of these
banks"
