A LONG ONE.

Up to date the silver men in congress
have the best of the fight. They have
started in well, and scored particularly
clever turn when they induced the anti
silver mon into an agreement whereby a
straight test vote is to be taken at the
close of debate, about August % being
the agreed date, on the simple PROPOSE
ton of bimetallism. If bimetallism wins
then the question of adopting a fair
ratio between silver and gold will be put
to test vote, or the Bland-Allison act
may be revived and voted on, the ques-
tion of unconditional repeal of the pur
chase clause in the Sherman act to be
last voted upon. Thus tho silver advo-
Gates will have secured vote upon three
propositions more or less favorable to
silver as money before the gold-standard
advocates will have Il chance to show
their hand toward RELOCATING the white
metal to the rear az a commodity. This
arrangement is more fair than the west
had reason to anticipate, and shows a
cheerful strength for its cause so far as
the house is concerned. Relying on this
agreement being kept in good faith by
both sides to the controversy, VIC may
anticipate that the house will have
reached a conclusion sometime about the
middle of next month. In the senate,
however, there promises to be much de-
lay because the trading in presidential
appointments for votes against silver
will require diplomacy, and this means
the consumption of much time. Thus it
appears that the immediate relief
which a Democratic congress was ex-
pected to afford the country in these
desperate times which its party policy has
brought about will be a long time COM
ing. The present session will be Il long
one.

The silver Fight is on.

The fight for free coinage is now fairly
on and the friends of silver have no ap-
parent reason to feel discouraged over
the start made. The debate will continue
for two weeks, and the people of the
country will learn great deal about sill
yer, and doubtless be more friendly TO-
ward the white metal than ever before
when it is ended. There is no use vast
ing breath now over the probable result
The fight will be to a finish, and there is
lots of time yet. Success to the senators
and representatives engaged in the battle
for free coinage, and more power to their
elbows every day.. Denver Times.

a Bitter Foe to silver.

Democratic leaders who were SO conf
dent that Cleveland would suggest some
bimetallic provision for silver's future
now realize how they have deceived them
selves. Cleveland did not deceive them,
for he has ever been an open and bitter
foe to silver coinage; he allowed them to
grovel at his feet and worship him while
he accepted the spoils of Office and did
the bidding of his British benefactors.

Petrified Snakes for Chicago.

CANON CRY, COL, Jan. 21.-One of
the most startling finds ever made in
this section was unearthed to-day at
Rockvale. small mining camp nine
miles northeast Of here. The Santa Fe
Coal Company was excavating on the
bottom of a gulch for the purpose
of putting in new track, when q
peculiar formation was run into. The
workmen stopped to examine, and on
digging around the spot the strange
thing was found to be a perfectly formed
snake. twelve feet in length. This find
caused SO much excitement that the ex-
cayatlon was continued, and at little
distance another reptile was uncovered.
It was twenty-four feet in length and
as thick through as mans body and
perfectly petrifed. Those taken out
will make part of the Colorado exhibit
at the Worlds Fair.

ENGLAND IS ALARMED,

The Egyptian Situation Has Reached
Crisis. ~
LONDON, Jan. 23.-Ihe Egyptian s1tua-
ton is assuming gravity which for the
time overwhelms in the public mind all
other issues. The affair is of SO grave
nature that the government is urged to
ct once strengthen the army in Egypt.
Lord Rosebery has received tele-
graphic advices from Lord Cromer to
the effect that the Khedive had init
mated his intention to refer to the Tur-
kish Sultan and to the treaty powers the
action of England in causing the dis
missal of the Fakhri cabinet. Other
advices from Cairo state that the ma
tives are in a more excited condi-
ton than at any time since the
outbreak under the leadership of Arab
Pasha. While a considerable party OF
the moderate and intelligent natives
support the British position, the multi
tude take sides with the Khedive and
against what they call in6del dictation.
Mr.. Gladstone caused a cabinet coun-
Gil to be called to-day to consider the
Egyptian crisis. The Marquis of Ripon,
secretary for the colonies, left bed of
sickness to be present at the cabinet
meeting. The council sat for two hours.
While the ca<,et was in session
stream of kilograms continued to pour
into the foreign office from Cairo.
These were Immediately transmitted to
the cabinet. When the cabinet adj
iourned it was to reassemble at o'clock
p. NJ.
The prolonge session of the cabinet
is understood to be due to difference
of opinion as to the necessity OF REIN
forcing the British army of occupation
in Egypt, both with view to protecting
British interests at Cairo and to protect
ing the frontier against the dervishes,
who have recently become very men
acing.
A note reached Lord Rosebery on
Saturday from the French foreign office
in relation to Egyptian affairs. The note
stated that the French government,
while refraining from Directing to Rlaz
Pasha as premier, would maintain the
right of the khedive to choose his min
listers.
The British force in Egypt numbered,
at the beginning of this year, 3,4OO
men. Ma].-Gen. Forester Walker is in
command. The whole Egyptian army,

commands among the $4,000 native
troops and Gen. F. w. Kitchener hay
ing control as sirdar of the army organ
ization. The native troops have reached
high degree of efficiency under their
English drill masters.
PARIS, Jan. pa dispatch from
Cairo states that the Sultan has tele-
graphed to the khedive his congratula-
tons on the attitude which the khedive
had assumed in respect to the forma-
ton of a cabinet independently of En-
glish interference. The Sultan will
send the Khedive present of six
horses.
CAIRO, Jan. ga correspondent had
an interview to-day with Lord Cromer,
the British representative in Egypt. In
reply to questions about the situation
Lord Cromer said: "There is no cause
to apprehend disturbance, but you are
at liberty to say that if disturbance
should occur l guarantee it will be of
short DURATION"
