SILVER PURCHASE REPEAL.
The Fight in the House and Senate
Very liVelY.

-NS - AN a. VIC ~ 7o aA4O 00n0kC
Very Lively.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The advocates OF
repeal Of the Sherman bullion purchase act
continued to-day in the House to circulate
their pc itlon in favor OF closure
amendment to the rule for the con
slderation Of the Andrew-Cate bill.
There was only a slim attendance Of
members, so that many new signatures
could not be obtained. All Of the demo-
Gratis from New York except Mr.. Cum
mingS have signed. Mr.. Cummings wants
more time to think over the matter. The
number OF signatures obtained thus far falls
co slderably short Of a majority of the
democrats OF the House and approximations
are felt that it will be impossible to obtain the
desired majority. A number Of signatures
can be obtained IL assurance be given that
some compromise measure will be substi-
stuffed for the present law. Members OF
this mind say that 1t is asking too much of
them TO repeal the present law and leave
no other act for furnishing continued ad-
dltion to the circulation medium in its
place.
WORK AMONG THE REPUBLICANS.
Missionary work among the republican
members OF the House has begun An
anchor has been cast to wiudward by tue
democrats in favor of repeal and efforts are
making to get most OF the republicans in
line on an agreement to support the demo-
crats IN voting down the previous question
on the order reported by the rules commit
tee, and then voting in favor OF closure In
case IL lie found that the same result
cannot be achieved by securing the sigma
lures of a majority of the democrats to the
petitions In circulation. 1t is believed that
II the republicans will give cordial and
fairly united support they, with the repeal
democrats, will constitute a majority Of the
House.
A very quiet but systematic fight on the
silver question is in progress in the Senate
as result of MIR. Hills notice
that be would call up the
bill to repeal the Sherman act on Monday
next. Under the rules OF the Senate mo-
ton to take up the bill is not debatable and
the work that is done by the friends and
opponents OF the bill must necessarily be
accomplished by means Of personal can
vass. This has developed the fact that there
Is difference Of opinion among the oppo-
nents Of repeal as to what is the better
policy, but a majority OF them appear
TO be IN favor Of voting down the motion TO
take up the bill. This is the plan OF Senator
Teller, who, while not fearful OF the result
OF the final vote should the bill be taken
up, believes in fighting it from the start
aud hitting 1t hard at every opportunity.
Those silver men who think it would be
better TO call the bill up believe they
can thoroughly tire the advocates
OF repeal by preopitating a long debate,
which will iDteefere with other business
and cause them to willingly drop the sub
Ject In addition to this they want the
satisfaction OF loading it down with amend
ments, and otherwise dlsaguring it 80 that
its warmest champions would not vote
for il.

Unique Contest Among Jolly Jack

Unique Contest Among Jolly Jack
Tars on the Philadelphia.
From the Mem York Tribune.
In all their ingenuity In getting up now
and startling contests of various kinds,
ranging from contests of beauty TO pie eat
ing matches and struggles OF "lady boxers, I"
the proprietors OF dime museums have
scarcely been able to find anything more
original and spicy than the junior officers
OF the cruiser Philadelphia, in the Brooklyn
navy yard-that is, a sleeping contest 1t
came about in this way:
The Junior officers OF the PHILADELPHIA had
the habit Of going below TO their Quarters
and taking a snooze" whenever thew were
NOT on duty. This practice became so
marked and noticeable that they began to
guy" each other about it. so that finally
one of them said ''Well, let's have a
sleeping contest, and whenever a fellow
gets nap we'll mark down the time against
him."
So the sleeping contest is now going on.
IL has been going on for about a week and
is to continue month altogether.
Whenever one of he young officers falls
asleep the others don't tease him and try to
awaken him. They let him sleep and mark
the time that he is lost in Oblivion against
him, whether it be night or day.
Inc officer who has slept the greatest
number of hours at the end Of the month IL
To receive as prize for his noble achieve
ments beautifully bound copy OF some
work on insomnia, doubtless by popular
author.
1t can be readily seen that under these
circumstances the object is to sleep as much
as possible. The score at present is said TO
be about fifty hours a week. But the Young
officers complain that the contest is sadly
intertered with by the fact that whonever
any OF them 20 on shore to spend the even
ing and do not return to the ship until the
small hours Of the morning, It cannot he
told whether the visitors have been esIeeo
in the meantime or not.

The Trouble With the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Schedule.
The MORNING News is daily in receipt of
complaints from its subscribers along the
line of railroad between Chattahoochee and
Pensacola, Fla, about delays to the morn
ing mails from Savannah. These mails are
now sent to Montgomery and thence to
Pensacola, and reach their destination
a day later than formerly. The
trouble 10 that the train from Bain>
bridge junction TO Chattahoochee
on the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway leaves six hours before the arrival
at that point of the Savannah morning
train, and consequently mails and pessen-
gers must either wait until the next day. or
go forward via Montgomery and Pensacola.
The old schedule had train leaving Balm
bridge junction OF the arrival Of the Sa-
vannah train, and reaching ChattahoOcnee
about O'Clock p. m, making close connec-
ton with the mail train for Pensacola. A
change to the old schedule would greatly
expedite the northern and Savannah mails
for all points on the Pensacola and Atlantic
railroad.
