HILL SEEKING A FIGHT.
The Senator in Very Bad Temper With
the Administration.

He Objects to Having the Democratic
Party Put in the Position Of a Mono
Metallist Party-Cleveland Expected
Back in Washington Next Week.
Young Mr.. TilIman Starts for South
Carolina Looking for Duel.
Washington, July 26.-The Evening
News has special from New York to-
day indicating that Senator Hill is in
a very bad temper with the administra-
tion and that he is in good shape to do
some hard hitting. One of his organs
contained an editorial this morning which
is Enthusiastically warlike, andwhich is be-
lieved to have been inspired. This paper
declares that the senator objects to the
Democratic party, under the clamor and
scare of a natural or organized panic, be-
ing placed in the false position of mono
metallist party, which would belle
all its past history Against such
an effort to betray it, if
one should be made, he will fight with all
his ability and influence, no matter who
champions the other side, and irrespec-
tive of present public opinion upon the
subject in New York state or elsewhere.
The above is particularly interesting and
it is of further interest to know that very
recently Senators Hill, German and
Murphy have had long conference.
The general belief here is that
there is warm work ahead in con
gress. Contrary to this expression from
the New York senator, Senator Stewart,
who bears the soubriquet of the silver
king, has experienced change
of heart, and if reports
may be credited now admits that the
Sherman law will be repealed. 1t would
seem as though the silver men had at last
recognized the weakness of their case,
for of all the persistent, courageous, un-
compromising advocates of silver coinage
none are more radical than he. At all
times and in all places, with or without
prOvocation, he has thundered the doe
trine of unlimited silver in the ears of its
friends and its enemies.
CLEvELAND's RETURN.
The best information fixes the
date of the Presidents return on
Monday, August 6. He is now en-
gagged on his message and it will be
prepared before his return, so that it
day week. The white house in the
meantime is undergoing a complete reno
walton inside and out.
Young James Tillman left for COlum bia
yesterday. A Washington loop has been
cut into the by-Farley-Tillman contro-
versy, which is exciting the populists of
South Carolina. The quarrel is one
which started between Senator Irby and
Gen. Farley, the populist adjutant general
8
Elections on Gen. Farley in a dispatch to
the Augusta Chronicle over the signature
used by son of Represpntative Tillmau.
Some sort of a political plot was al
legged in this dispatch, and for
a long time there has been an
indication that blood must be drawn
to wash out the affront to Adjt. Gen.
Farley, and the controversy at present
turns on the question of the responsi bility
for the dispatch. Mr. Tillman has been
here looking over the files at the Western
Union Office to find the dispatch, and he
left for home with long letter in his
pocket which he proposes to publish.
On this he reviews the whole
case, and declares that Senator
Irby 2 dictated the dispatch to
him and that he refused to send 1t, but
returned it to Senator Irby and that the
senator then filed the dispatch himself
WibuOuJ 1IllLudH kuoNled96OF COuSen b.
He accuse Senator Irby of being dishon-
orable and falsifier, and in tones of de-
fiance leaves it open for the senator to ac-
knowledge having m1liciOusly practiced
d deception, or to settle the matter in
such a manner as seems suitable to south
ern gentlemen. Mr. Tillman is said to
have left here with the expectation of
having to fight duel, and to have
bespozen the services of two southern
correspondents here as seconds.
The weather here to-day was almost
unbeara ble. Mr.. Carlisle alone of the
cabinet ministers, is in the city.
