unofficial way the managers have been

His property is not his own, but to use

save its life, then it will perish from

SENATORS IN CAUCUS.
Republicans Meet to Talk over the Situa
ti0n.

ti0n.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 Fifteen re
publican senators held an important
conference Wednesday night at the
residence of Senator Mcmillan Mich. J.
Senator Sherman presided. The confer
ence had been called as a result of the
speech which Senator Sherman made in
the senate Tuesday, and the purpose was
to find if possible some way of passing
the repeal bill. After a discussion OF
two hours the following plan was
agreed upon and will be pushed to-day
and until it shall succeed or fail:
Twenty-four republican senators are
to join in signing paper which shall
present a request to Vice President
Stevenson that after a reasonable
amount of debate has been had
rules of the senate so as to permit a
motion to be made for proceeding to q
vote on the repeal bill the presiding of
ficer shall declare debate on the propo
sition to change theSrules closed and
put the motion to a vote.
This request is also to be signed by
nineteen democratic senators, thus be,
ing forty-three, or a majority of the
whole senate. The fifteen senators
present at the conference agreed to
sign the document when it is prepared
though it is reported that Senators
Quay and Cullom have not as yet abso
lutely promised to do SO, desiring fur,
ther time for consideration.
The republicans discussed the matter
during the morning. One of them said
that they would stand back for awhile
to let the democrats take the initiative.
If the democrats failed to move the re.
publicans would see what they could do

in the revenues of the govern
ment The report shows a deficit for
the first three months of the present
fiscal year Ct over S21, ,OOO, 900, or at the
rate of over SS7, 900, ,OOO for the year.
The actual expenditures in the same
period of three months were over

600, 900 a month. At the same rate
the expenditure for the year would
aggregate $S94.OOO, 900, or S21, 200, 900
more than estimated expenses, and
create an excess of expenditures over
receipts of little more than S77,0O0,-

ton says a definite forecast for the
whole year was impossible, but it was
apparent that should present condi-

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 20.-A trestle ac-
cident unique in the history of the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad is re-
ported from Shamokin, Pa. Across
gorge near Shamokin is a long
trestle. Mrs. Miranda Anderson,
who lives near Shamokin, was
crossing the trestle Wednesday morn
ing and when she reached point
near the middle she heard the rumble
of the Reading express train approach
ing from behind her. 1t was useless to
try to run across the open structure
She therefore leaped for her life. but
as she jumped one of her feet caught
between the outer rail and the
guard rail and held her fast, head
downward, 20 feet above the gorge
The train came on with a rush. 1t
passed over and cut off her foot and
she dropped headforemost to the brook
under the trestle. 1t is believed she
will recover.

FRANCE eRAcEo UP.


Demonstrations at Paris May Lead to q
European War.
PARIS, Oct. 19.-The French newspa-
pers publish long comments upon the
sympathy expressed by the Russians at
the death of Marshal MacMahon and
seem greatly pleased at it. The
cars message of thanks to Presi-
dent Carnot for the courtesies
extended to the Russian sailors
at Toulon and also in Paris has
also greatly pleased the people of this
and other cities of France, and it may
be said that France and Frenchmen
feel more confident to-day in the stabil-
ity of the republic and in the strength
of their army and navy than for TWEEN
ty years. 1t will thus be seen that the
visit of the Russians to France has had
a decidedly bracing effect upon
France, but it is an open question
whether this will not precipitate the
long-expected European war. France
is herself acknowledgements, touchy,
extra-sensitive France, chivalrous to a
very high degree, proud of her army
and navy, strong in her likes and dis
likes, quick to resent an injury, wheth-
er real or fancied. Thus France is more
dangerous to the peace of Europe than
she was a week ago.

PARIS, Oct 2O.-The question of Civ
ing a state funeral to the re-
mains of Guonod remains in abey-
ance. In any event the funeral
will not occur until after the fetes
in honor of the Russian visitors are
over. This decision emphasizes the fact
that while two among the most prom
inent men in France have died within
the past. two days, the capital is not
now in frame of mind suited to public
funerals and the populace with "Vive

fanfare. Indeed no more forcible illus
tration of the French mature could be
afforded than this continued round of

council, reported the action of the COM
mittee advising the adoption of a
resolution putting the association
on record in strong terms demanding
the immediate and unconditional
repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman silver bill. The sugges-
zion of the committee was put into eff
feet at once and the remarks of Mr.
Pullen were adopted as the sense of the
convention and ordered embodied in
the form of resolution to be forward
ed to congress.
Topics Discussed.
Hon. Joseph c. Hendrix, of New
York, drew vivid picture of the rush
of British capital to Australia and the
financial intoxication," in an interest
ing paper on THE Panic in Australia
and the United States" Mr.. Hendrix
spoke strongly of the necessity of
sound currency and banking laws,
which would give the banks a chance
to protect themselves and the people
from strangulation in case of panic
''In the struggle for life no man wants
his hands tied or feet bound. In deal
ing with panics no banking system
should find itself so tied up that it can
not be free to act in self-defense."
Horace White, editor of the New
York Evening Post, treated at consid-
erable length and in an interesting
manner the subject of an elastic
Currency" His address was well re-
ceived. 1t showed close study of the
financial question, and was an admir-
able one in every way.
Prof. Sidney Sherwood, of Johns
Hopkins university, spoke on The
American Bankers Association; Its
Origin, Its Work and It's Prospects. :"
Mr.. Sherwood's address was mainly
historical and reviewed the work of the
organization.
E. o. Leech, ex-director of the United
States mint, was received with ap-
plause when introduced. He read an
able paper on THE Silver Question as
Related to the Appreciation of Gold, +"
which commanded the closest atten-
ton of the convention. Mr.. Leech
blamed the white metal for the recent
financial troubles.

B. F. Wright, chairman of the third
party-second assistants to democracy

fessional temperance man, but all the
same has assisted a Chicago whiskey
house in its business in a way that
counted on the cash side nicely. He
printed the whiskey price lists, and saw
that they were sent out. Maybe that is
where so many prohibition people got
their whiskey lists from by mail. Wright
probably furnished the names. He is on
the thrifty order, and the job of print
ing can thus be accounted for. B. F. is
a democratic annex, and works only

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The constant
inroads into the gold reserve of the
treasury, caused principally by the pay
ing out of the yellow metal over the
counters of the sub-treasury at New

and it is understood that steps
will be taken to restrict such paymets
as far as possible at New York
with view to again building it up.
The department will hereafter pay
out more currency than it has done re-
