Ending the Silver Debate.
From our regular correspondent



WASHINGTON. ID. c., Oct. ., 1898.
Let them do as l wish them to do, or
go home" is the remarkable language Mr..
Cleveland is reported to have used In speak
ing of the Senate. The test OF physical
endurance which is to begin in the Senate
on Wednesday of this week Is Intended to
force vote on the repeal bill At least
that Is the impression that Senator Voor-
hees wishes the public to get of it, But
its real purpose is to demonstrate To Mr..
Cleveland the impossibiity of forcing a
vote and to get him to listen to the advice
OF his cabinet and many of the shrewdest
senators and representatives, in his party
and consent to the adoption of q compro-
mise amendment that will secure the votes
of three fourths of the senators
In holding continuous session the IN
conditional repeal senators play their last
trump card; they will have to Keep forty
one senators continuously on the floor as
the opponents OF unconditional repeal have
given notice that they will only keep two
senators on the floor at a time-one 10

NEED OF SCIENTIFIC INYESTI-
CATION.

The explosion from coal gas on board
the steamer San Matso at Victoria is
reminder that chemists have yet useful
discovery to make as to the causes of such
occurrences to freshly shipped coal and
the best way Of preventing them. In this
case it is supposed that lantern eommu-
nicated flame to the gas, but the gas had
accumulated in great volume in the hold
and it was probably but q question of
time when the explosion would have been
produced in some other way-at sea. per-
haps-involying the possibility Of great
loss of life. The force of the explosion
between two bulkheads was terrific, as is
evidenced by the heavy damage to the ves-
sci. Coal which is so liable to give off ex-
plosiYe gas makes a cargo to be treated
with caution. and it would be only pru-
dent 10 use safety lamps in moving about
pn the lower decks of coal-laden vessels.
TIE whole question of danger from coal
shipments requires thorough Investigation
from the scientific. Cargoes ignite spon-
taneously, and accumulations of gas in
hold are not more dreadful than fires
which require to be fought for weeks. and
often not successfully.
