Senator Teller is believer m silver coinag.

Senator Teller ID believer N silver coinage;
m honest earnest, enthusiastic advocate Of fts
virtues He Is direct Of speech at all times, but
he never was more 30 than when he declared
that the friends of the white metal had done
great damage to its prospects. Conservaively
he insists on the unfairpess Of blaming all
the country's financial ills on silver and then
he hits several fsllow-C oloradoans between the
eyes by stating fatty that it would be much better
hay the blame to some Of the SILVER speeches.
The Senatori IL good deal more than half right,
and 20 far a. the troubles in his own state are
concerned has told . little less than
the truth That Denver banks should
close their doors ID the logical sequence
Of such insanely infammstory speeches - those
Of Gov. Waite, Colorado's chief executive.
That remarkable specimen Of wild and woony
humanity has been doing his little best to bring
into existence an era Of debt Reputation and
actual revolution; wants to have the west Sc
eede from the Union and become great en-
pire all by itself-an empire In which silver
would be the only currency and over which
Waite, wearing . silver crown and WELDING
silver scepter. would reign supreme. There has
been financial stringency in the east, but even
the embarrassed ones have managed to laugh
at the vagaries Of the silver extremists. The
effect here was, - Senator Teller yesterday re-
marked, simply ridiculous, but in Colorado it
was no laughing matter; the results may be
seen in the bank and commercial failures in
Denver. when the governor Of . state talks
seriously Of revolution he endanssrs the founda-
tions Of all business within his bailiwick, and 1t
Is not surprising that eastern investors and
homo bank depositors should desire immediate
possession of their own. Years will elapse be-
fore Colorado RECEIVERS from Gov. Waits's ora
torical folly.

the important matter Of heaithfuiness, and
toward that desirable eminence IL ID moving
with reasonable rapidity. In the report Of the
health officer for the week that ended last Sat-
urday, IL was made evident that the death rate,
when compared with that for the corresponding
period OF Last July, has materially decreased
year ago and there were within that week one
hundred and eighty deaths; this year the num-
Der of dead in seven days was but one hundred
and thirty-ssven, and Of these one-haif were

South CAROLINA Linnor Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered an opinion de-
clining to pass upon the constitutionality
of the dispensatory law of South Caro-
lima by which the State controls the sale
of liquor. The case came up on writ of
habeas corpus TO release State official
who had seized barrel of liquor under
the law. Chief Justice Fuller said the
court did not find it necessary to pass on
the constitutionality of the liquor law.
The officer was in contempt in seizIng
liquor held by a receiver. For this reason
he should be punished without reference
to the constitutional question involved.

The Long-Looked for Message Read IN
the Senate.


WASHINGTON Dec. 1S.-In the Senate
the long-looked for message from the
President as to the relations of the Gov
ernment of this country and the Hawaiian
Islands was received, and the reading was
listened to most attentively. A request
by Chandler for the reading of the in
structIons to Willis led to debate of an
hours duration, and they were finally
read.
The message and accompanying docu-
ments are now before the Senate, the
pending question being on the motion of
Hoar to refer them to the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
The reading of the message was con-
cluded at l p. NJ, and Chandler called for
the reading of the instructions TO Minis
ter Willis. The first was the instructions
of Gresham to Willis, dated October Is,
1893, marked confidential, and was or
dered TO be read.
The first paragraph of the letter had
just been read, when Butler suggested
that time be saved by having the COM
munication presented instead of read.
An hours debate followed participated
in by many Senators. Allison finally
said they had right to have read every
paper sent in by the President in pursu-
ance of the resolution Of the Senate there

not do this, and his message to Congress
is prolonged whine over his failure.
Mr.. Cleveland does not know the Amer

Great Damage Caused by the Brcak-The

Great Damage Caused by the Brcak-The
Worst Yet to Come.
LOUISVILLE, Ey., Jan. 11.-Not in 35
years has the river presented the sight
that II. did yesterday. Few river men
went to bed Monday night. The ap-
prehension Of danger from the big gorge
between Twelve Mile Island and Fern
Creek kept them wide awake and there
were lively scenes in store for them.
At about 2 o'clock there was a skurry-
about on the levee such as is seldom seen
In this locality. Roustabouts who had
fallen asleep around bar-room stoves were
hastily awakened and down to the slop-
ing banks ran the crowd. The gorge had
broken and was sweeping away steam
boats, coal fleets and saw logs.
IL caught a coal float at the Jefferson
vile bridge piers, with about $4,000 BUSH
els OF coal, and sank the boat in a second
AT Jeffersonville, three barges were des-
troyed, sending TO the bottom OF the
river about 5000 bushels Of coal. The
harbor boats Fulton and Transit, and the
tugs Aid and Wash Gray were caught and
nearly torn TO pieces. The loss on them
will be nearly total.
Yesterday there wasnot n boat on the
Jacksonville shore. They were all moved
over TO the Louisville harbor. There Il
great apprehension felt here over the se-
curity OF the boats along the Louisville
shore, and the worst is yet To come.
