THE ABSORBING QUESTION.
Promise of an Early Discussion
Now Assured.
A MUCH BETTER OUTLOOK.
Unconditional Repeal of the Sherman
Act an Impossibility.
Bland Says That Even if the Gold Men
Succeed in the House They VIII
Be Beaten Beyond Doubt
in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The develop
ments of today have been such as to give
promise of an early discussion of the
silver question in the two houses of Con-
gress. The Democratic Senators, after a
caucus lasting several hours, found them
selves absolutely unable to agree upon
any line of action and finally adjourned
until a later day, the intention OF the
Senate being to adjourn from tomorrow
until Monday in order to give oppor-
tunity for the fullest informal discussion
among senators of both parties before
entering upon legislation. In the failure
of the Democratic senators to agree upon
any party policy, advocates OF a repeal of
the Sherman law find great encourage
ment.
The free coinage men of the House held
a caucus today and adopted resolution
which will be revelation to the ultra
free coinage men of the west, but it will
be tower OF strength to those who are
fortifying themselves against the uncon-
ditional repeal OF the Sherman purchase
ing act. The resolution is regarded as a
mastery stroke on the part of the silver
men, as it practically abandons the ratio
of Is to 1, and agrees to accept such com
promise rates as will maintain a parity
between gold and silver, and implies that
the most vigorous efforts will be made to
induce the radical silver men of the far
| west to yield to the judgment of the
more conservative free coinage men OF
| the country.

THE FIGHT In OHIO.
An Important Question to Be Settled in
State Convention.

An Important Question to Be Settled in
State Convention.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.-Will the Democ-
racy of Ohio stand by President Cleveland
OF by the platform on which he was
elected? That is the question to be solved
within the next thirty-sl4 hours, and
there Is no man in or out of Ohio who
can predict the results with confident ac-
curacy. Half dozen candidates are in
the field. Neal, who framed the tariff
plank in the last Democratic national
platform, and who is rabid free
silver coinage man, is in the lead. Neal
has declared that he will abide by the
Chicago platform, and his followers are
Democrats OF the unterrified stamp who
will stick to him as long as there is a
show of his nomination.
Elk Governor Campbell and his friends
make no denial of the fact that they are
with the administration and that they
are out to beat Neal. Campbell himself
will not be a candidate, but it is said will
support Charles w. Baker, of Cincinnati
A lively fight is expected in the conven-
ton for all the offices as plenty Of cam
didates are seeking them.
Some members of the platform COM
mittee have received instructions to up
hold the policy of the administration
both financial and tariff. The committee
| is now locked up in room at the Grand
hotel preparing the platform. 1t is ex-
pected that hot fight will be made by
| the silver men for free silver.
| A complete change of front by the plat
| form committee was causing comment al
midnight when the committee adjourned
having referred the formation of the
platform to subcommittee of SIX which
will report tomorrow morning. There
will be no silver plank in the platform
and Cleveland's policy will be upheld.

ontwitting a Shark

On board the good ship Vincennes,
during a cruise in the Pacific ocean, a
party of English and American officers
were one day in the cabin talking cheer
fully of the cape and the cruise, when,
as il by magic, every countenance
changed. Spellbound for an instant, all
sat intently Es.ening. There was a
strange commotion in the ship. Then
came that noise of hurrying feet, accom-
panied by the voice of command, which,
breaking the silence OF a well-disci-
plined man-of-war, and echoing
of unknown evil. There were.
too. half suppressed EXPLANATIONS Of
alarm; in which were caught the omin-
ously coupled words: "Shark!-Boys!n
In a moment all were on deck. CHANGING

to him to pull away. But, wholly intent
on the movements OF the fearful creature
he did not hear them. We had not long
to wait; the shark came on, raising Its

eyes could be seen. Pressing heavily or
the vale OF the boat it bore down the side.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
Wide Difference of Opinion on the Sill
yer Discussion.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Nearly every
Democratic senator was present at the
party caucus this morning to decide, if
possible, on plans of party action relative
to silver discussion. The meeting devel-
oped wide divergence of views which
was that between the wings of the party
on free silver coinage and that when the
time for the Senate to assemble had ar
rived nothing was accomplished and an
adjournment was taken TILL after the Sem
ate adjourned for the day.
The free silver Democrats at once held a
conference with the free silver Republi-
cans and the result was soon evident, for
the latter voted with the Democrats for
the adjournment OF the Senate without
the transaction OF business. The caucus
then Immediately reassenbled.
After two hours session the caucus adj
jcurned without reaching conclusion as
to line OF policy There is strong diff
ference OF opinion on the silver question.
aud the caucus adjourned to meet again
In q few days. Meanwhile the subject OF
silver repeal will not figure in the Senate.
for the purpose is to adjourn from tomor-
row till Monday
Immediately after the adjournment OF
the caucus Mr.. German called into con-
suitation Senators Blackburn, GRAY. Ran
son., Voorhees, and Cockrell. Although
German had not made his appointments
at the time OF the consultation. their
presence gave color to the expectation
that they would be named as members OF
the caucus committee tomorrow.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The weather con-

dedicated Mount Vernon House, Vir-
ginla's state building, on what is claimed
to be the meeting OF the first free Iegisla-

took place sometime in the seventeenth
century at Williamsburg. Senator

In the suffrage congress today Fred
Douglass was greatly wrought up by
Stephen G. Weeks, professor of Trinity
college of North Carolina, who read a
paper on negro suffrage. The professor
said: Negro suffrage is failure; it
must remain a failure so long as it is not
an ally of the white vote as the southern
people viii not submit to their domina-
ton, The white must rule. No man
who has not lived on negro land knows
what negro domination is. 1t means the
destruction of property, ruin and bank
ruptcy-"
When the professor finished Douglass
made an impassloned reply: 'sYou are
not afraid OF negro domination, !" he said
the negro never can rule this country
He would be outvoted by 60, 0OO, 900 of
whites, there is no opposition to tbs
negro in the south until he aspires to
rise If he'aspires to become lawyer or
doctor no at once becomes an upstart.''

CONTINUING THE DEBATE.
Democratic Leaders VIII Insist Upon the
Right to Lead.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-It may depend
upon the decision arrived at in the sena-
torial caucus whether or not the silver
debate, which had so sudden and spirited
an opening in the Senate yesterday will
be carried along to a definite issue or
whether the Democrats will decline to
continue the debate on the lines which
the Republican Senators of yesterday
originated. There is general belief that
the Democratic leaders will insist upon
the right to lead and will resent as they
did yesterday any effort OF their oppon-
ents to organize measures on vital points
of policy.
The anti-silver men have been led to
expect by expressions of the silver men
with whom they conferred regarding the
proposed agreement for the prompt dis
cussion of the question, that no filibus-
tering Will be countenanced.
s'There may be an attempt said Rep
resentative Harter, one of the leading
anti-silverites, this morning, son the
part of few radical silver advocates to
delay the inevitable, simply for delay. II
their opposition shall prove to be purely
for obstructive purposes, there will be no

|-majority of Democrats to request the

DUBLIN, Aug. ga convention of the

airy party was held in this city today.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
the refusal of the government to amend
the injustice of the financial proposals OF
the home rule bill was degrading, and
that restrictions placing Irish legislature
under the imperial parliament, without
power to control taxation or develop
national interests, coupled with reduc-
ton of the number of Irish representa-
tives in the imperial parliament, render
the bill impossible of acceptance by the
Irish people.

A BETTER FEELING.
An Unconditional Repeal of the Sherman
Law Impossible.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. = Especial. j.
Silver friends feel much encouraged at
the outlook. The House caucus today
while not regularly called was attended
by many who were reported opposed to
silver. Bland says that even if the gold
men succeed in the House they will be
beaten beyond any doubt in the Senate.
Many who failed to attend today's
caucus did so because opposed to having
factions. They want the regular Demo-
cratic caucus held. The general feeling
is that an unconditional repeal cannot be
accomplished.
Senator Carey voted in July of last year
year against free coinage bill and his
opposition is not new thing. 1t is
understood here that New who is prob
ably to be appointed senator from Wyom-
ing is also gold advocate.
