ENGLISH BANKRUPTCY.
Pesslmistic Prophecy Of a London
Newspaper.

Pesslmtstic Prophecy OF a London
Newspaper.
LONDON. Oct. 25.-Under the caption
''Half Year Nearer Bankruptcy" The
Weekly Times and Echo of this city, In
the leading editorial Of its current
issue, declares that Great Britain is on
the verge of national bankruptcy. Start
ing out with the statement that the
country is on the edge of such winter
as its agricultural, industrial and work.
ing classes have not known since the
fearful times of 1849, it makes an extra
ordinary revelation concerning the ma
tional finances. Last spring, fin pre-
senting his budget, Sir William Ver-
non Harcourt, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, admitted that he expected a
decline of $500, ZOO in the revenue for
'93 "a as compared with The revenue
for the year ending in March. This at
the time was regarded as a conserva-
tive estimate, but the figures now re-
vealed show that the decrease during
the first quarter only. or up to the
end of June, was e75O,0O0, and that
the quarter just ended shows de-
crease of another e5O0,OOO. In other
words, with the winter yet to come, the
country is already el,250, 900, or some
thing in the neighborhood Of $1,000, 600
to the bad. The receipts of the Gus
toms show decline of nearly $500, 900
and revenue stamps a third Of mil
lion more. The Times figures it up
that the total deficit by next March
cannot be less than $4,000. 900 to $l9,-
100000, and that in the lace of the ter
rible and increasing depression all over
the country these figures and the pros
poets are absolutely appalling.

Dubois Talks.

Senator Dubois of Idaho, who took a
leading part in arranging for the con-
tinuation of the fight against uncon.
ditional repeal, said that vote would
come, probably within week, as there
would be no opposition or attempt at
filibustering.
THE speeches which have been be-
gun will be Finished" said Mr.. Dubois,
land such other speeches as senators
may desire to deliver. It is understood
that Mr.. Teller has something yet to
say, and Senators Stewart and
Jones desire to conclude their
works. Senator Allen also desires to
make some further remarks. Monday
leaders on the Democratic side said they
would stand by US if we would con-
tinue the fight. Senator Harris and
others declared that it was their deter
mination to prevent vote from being
taken, even if methods. not invoked
should be used. With this understand
ing We determined to keep up the
fight. Tuesday morning Senator Har-
ris gave the same assurance, but an
hour later he came to us and said he
felt it his duty that after the assurance
he had given that he should inform me
that he would not continue the fight as
suggested, but would yield to the pres
sure of his associates on the Democratic
side. He said he spoke for the silver
men on that SIDE I told him that if
we could not depend on the friends of
silver on that side that we would not
keep up the Fl 5ht, and that vote might
be expected and no obstruction would
be offered after the speechmaking is
ended. It is impossible to say when a
vote will be taken, but I should think
within week."

THEY GIVE IT UP.
Democratic Silver Senators Conclude
It 10 Best Not to Filibuster
Longer.
Those or the Republican Side Will
Not Keep Up the Fight
Alone.
50 1t Appears Now That Vote on the
Repeal Bill will Soon Be
Reached.

WASHINGTON, Oct. rs. AT 1880 p. IN.
Senator Harris. acting for the silver
Democrats, informed the silver Repub.
licans that the Democrats had con.
cluded that, latter taking all the circum.
stances into consideration, their best
course was to drop the fight against the
repeal bill and allow it to come to
vote.
If this decision is not reconsidered,
and it does not seem at all probable
that it will be, the end Of the present
fight will soon be reached and the re-
suit will be in accordance with the
wishes Of tho president and the repeal
forces in the senate.
The silver Republicans will not un-
dertake to prolong the fight beyond the
time necessary to complete their
speeches, and will after that permit the
voting to begin upon the amendments
to the bill 1t is generally believed that
this will take place before the close OF
the present week. Still in q body
which has shown itself capable of such
rapid changes as the senate, no one can
tell what a day may bring forth, and
there is still a possibility of some rapid
transformation which may produce an
other change in the situation.
Undoubtedly Correct.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-The report
that the silver Democrats in the senate
had decided against further effort to
prolong the fight over the repeal bill Is
correct beyond question. The policy
was decided upon in a conference OF
silver Democrats, who have refralned
from flibust ering, but who felt in
clined Monday to enter upon cam
paign of that character in opposition
to the bill, Senators Cockrell, Vest.
Harris and Walthall being among
those present.
Could Hope For Little.
1t is understood that they discussed
the question at some length and de-
clded that inasmuch as the silver men
could hope for very little in the way OF
compromise if they should succeed IN
defeating the bill, it was better to
submit without any further dis
cussion and allow the question to go
to the country. 1t is believed
now that it may be possible to
begin voting upon the amendments to
the bill by Thursday. There are
great many of these amendments, and
it is possible that there will be more or
less debate under the 5-minute rule. 1t
is generally agreed. however, that the
vote on the bill itself can be reached by
the close of the week.
There are 20 amendments to the re-
peal bill which have been introduced
into the senate as 'intended to be OF.
fered." It is not generally believed
that very large percentage of them
will be offered. Upon this contingency
will depend the time Of the disposal OF
the bill after the voting is begun.

NoRRIsTowN, June 1.-Annie AIcLaugh-
lin, aged 10 years, escaped from Jhe hos
pital for the insane at Norristown Tuesday
evening, and nothing has been learned as
to her whereabouts.
She was committed to that institution
last April from Philadelphia, where she
had been employed asa domestic by several
families, from whom, it is claimed, she
stole a number of articles, merely for the
sake of hiding them.
1t is believed at the hospital that she was
aided in her escape by friends from Phila-
delphia who visited her last week and that
they furnished herwith clothes and money.
As confirming this story hat, shirt and
body belonging to Annie were found late
Tuesday night on Forest avenue, near the
hospital, and it is supposed that after leav-
ing the hospital she abandoned these ar
ticles and donned others supplied by sym
pathizing friends who, it is believed, also
gave her money to assist her in her flight.

PROCEEDINGS IN BOTH BRANCHES.

Lively Scenes in Both Houses During the
Closing Hours of the Session of '03-Dr.
Nathan sheafrer Confirmed as Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction--A Veto
Sustained.
HARRISBURG, June 1.-When the general
appropriation bill came up in the senate
yesterday Senator Critchneld, of Somerset,
wanted to amend the item of $4,000, 900 q
year for the public schools by adding an.
other million, but the senate was against
such an increase and voted it down-yeas,
10; nays, 2S The increase was inserted in
the house, but the senate committee struck
it out as being too big a jump. Senator
Goblin moved to strikeout the items for the
payment Of the salaries and expenses Of
the chief and deputy factory inspectors.
Senator Gobin's amendment was subse.
quently modified to affect the chief factory
inspector only, and in that shape was
adopted-yeas, 80; nays, 10. It was o
strictly party vote with the exception oi
Senator steel, Allegheny, who voted with
the democrats
In executive session the nomination OF
DR.. Nathan Sheaffer to he superintendent
of public instruction was confirmed unan.
imously There was not a dissenting vote.
There was little surprise in the senate
when motion was adopted recalling from
the house the Baker ballot bill which tho
senate sent back Tuesday night with mott.
tication that it refused to concur in the
house amendments This was not what
certain gentlemen wanted, but the resolu.
tion of recall was adopted notwithstanding
yeas 30, nays 12.
Senator Lyon called up the bill author
izing distilers of spurious orvinous liquors
to sell such liquors of their own manufac.
ture in original packages of not less than
forty gallons without being required TO
take ont a license.
Among the bills which passed finally
were the following:
Making an appropriation for tie state
fish commission, ($43, 600; S75, 900 for the
Chronic Insane hospital; expenses OF the
electric trust committee
At 1920 the senate cleared its calendar
and had nothing further to do but act
upon conference reports, and it was com
PEELED to take frequent recesses during the
night to wait on the house.
The report Of the conference committee
on the general appropriation bill went
to the printer at an early hour this morn
ing 1t practically restores the bill to the
condition in which it passed the house,
making the appropriation to public schools
for the next two years S11 100000 instead
of $12, 600, 900, knocks out the appropria-
ton to enforce the provisions of the dairy
and food inspection bill and restores the
salary of the factory inspector

IN THE HOUSE,

The speakers desk was loaded down with
house bills amended in the senate, in which
amendments concurrence was asked As
a general rule the amendments to appro-
priation bills were rejected. The house
agreed to the amendment to the act to re-
organize the National Guard.
Chairman Marshall reported from the
appropriation committee about fifty bills
that had been negatived either because
there was no money for them or they were
duplicates of others already passed.
Mr.. Wherry asked that the vote which
killed the bill requiring school directors to
supply adequate outbuildings for the use of
pupils be reconsidered, and said he was
certain the house had defeated the most i'm
portant bill unthinkingly. The house
thought so, too and reconsidered its action
and passed the bill.
The house sustained Governor Pattison's S
veto of the act giving fire departments in
third class cities the right to select officers
of the department
The first bill on the regular calendar, an
act authorizing magistrates to commit
minors to certain charitable societies,
passed finally.
Senator McCarrell's bill providing for in
crease of tolls on bridges which was killed
in the house Tuesday evening, was given
another chance for its life, Mr.. Merrick
moving to reconsider the vote by which it
was defeated. Mr.. Kunkel made a speech
in support of the bill and it was passed by
115 yeas to 90 nays
The half holiday bill, which the Phila-
delphia bank clerks have been clamoring
for, passed finally.
The act to provide for the punishment of
persons wilfully procuring the publication
of false statements passed finally, and the
fake writers who impose fake stories on
newspaper publishers must have care
hereafter.
A message was received from Governor
Pattison saying that he had approved the
following bills Requiring all public rec
ords to be kept in the English language;
relating to atfidavits of defense.
The act extending the time for the COM
pletion of railroads passed finally, but it
was a mighty close shave and there was a
great deal of hustling to get l12 votes.
The report of the conference committee
on the Baker ballot bill was made to the
! house at an early hour this morning, with
out being ready, and is in the hands of the
printer. 1t is practical surrender on the
