THE EXTRA SESSION.


Both Sides Preparing for the Great Conniss
Between the Focoes of Silver and Anti.
Silver.
WASHINGTON, July 2A-Cleveland will
not return for week. Neither will
Crisp. Excitement will not run high
until these gentlemen are here to in
spire it. The silver men here are in
clined to look into the matter of house
organization with serious care. They
regard the making of the rules for
house guidance next session as of primal
Importance. 1t is the open talk of anti
silver people, such as Gen. Tracey, Of
New York, that the next rules will DO
so drawn as to leave no room for sue
cessful filibustering.
1t is the intention of both sides Of
the finance fight to make supreme
effort to get set of rules which will
favor their respective programmes
The anti-silver people, feeling full
blown and powerful, mediate rush
ing fight The silver people intend
to stand on the defensive and,
while they will favor repeal Of
the Sherman law, or at least the
clause which purchases 100000 ounces
! of silver monthly, they will insist on as
strong q silver substitute as can be
worked through. The silver side is de-
termined that no choke rules shall DO
adopted. Many here of the best in
formed expect the financial fight, so
far as the house goes, to develop in the
very inception of congress in the adop-
ton of the rules. Gen. Catchings, Of
Mississippi, head of the rules commit
tee, said the other day:
1.-The rules will not be as arbitrary as
those of the Fifty-frst congress, but
they will be stringent enough to per
NIT the will of the majority to have
its way. House business will not be
dead-locked by more handful. After
all it was not the rules of the Fifty first
congress SO much as the unjust and
tyrannical application of them which
speaker attempted to make that the
country complained Of"
But, contest or no contest over the
adoption of the rules, this outcome is
certain. The rules will be so drawn
that the money, tariff and every other
question can. be forced to a vote Cleve-
land, Crisp and the majority Of the
house favor such set OF rules, and
they will be drawn and adopted.
Speaking of Cleveland there is story
current on the Washington streets that
he runs daily danger of apoplexty. 1t
was generally known that he had
grown vastly stouter since his inaugu-
ration, but no intimation of ill-health
or apoplectic danger was lisped until
he left on his present vacation.
"His health is too abundant" said
doctor ''He makes too much blood,
nor is that rheumatism which he limps
with; that's govt. Mr.. Cleveland ought
to be careful and eat the things and
drink the things which modify the
blood, or in the excitement and strain
of the coming fight in congress some
thing will snap and we'll bury presi-
dent"
The general view seems to be, with
out either plain or plenty of proofs in
the matter, that Cleveland has been q
very sick man on the recent Benedict
yacht trip, and that the sickness was
of the brain and blood apoplectic va
riety. u

A History Of Disasters.
The history of the I.onisville and Jeffar-
sonville Bridge company is a series of dis
Rsters, financial and otherwise. 1t was
originally projected In 1879, and failure
overlook it in its very icipieRcy. In 1883
1t was revived nnder new charter, and
ground was broken in October, 1880.
Jacob +. Kreiger, the leading spirit
broke himself and the Masonic bank, of
Louisville, in furthering the project, and
finally sank himself into an untimely
grave under load of ills reaultng from
the multiplied disasters caused by the
bridge The enterprise lausuished sew
eral times, and at one time it looked as IL
those who had projected it would reap
nothing but loss However, in March
last they succeeded in disposing of the
property to syndicate under terms that
were considered very advantageous to
them. 1t is estimated by the engineers OF
the Phoenix Bridge company that the
lossto the bridge will be at least sl75,oO0.
Two caisson accidents took place during
the building of the piers. The first was
caused by the cupidity of sub-contrac-
tor, who engaged himself as an expert
when he was without experience. He al
lowed the air to escape from the caisson,
and the water rushed in, drowning four
teen men. The second cnisson accident
resulted from tho foolhardiness of the
foreman in the management of the struc-
ture and caused the death of seven men.
Several minor accidents occurred between
times. ...
The Fast End Improvement company
has been acting as limited agent in the
construction of the bridge under the re-
organization OF last March, when the
property was disposed of to a syndicate
controlled by three railroads. generally
believed to be the Big Four, Chesapeake
and Ohio and Baltimore, Ohio and South

BUFFALO, Dec. 16-Out of the 4s0 EN-

These three are George Bowman, engi-

unless n vacancy occurs, and so they have
been informed When vacancy does oc-
cur the strikers' application will be con-
sidered, and 80 will any other application.
OF any two applications from men of

The official who made the foregoing

In addition to what he said, there is n
