Washington Letter

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 2Sth, 1898
The House today passed the Wilson
bill tor the unconditional repeal Of the
purchasing clause OF the Sherman sill
yer law, but this was merely prellmi-
nary sklrmsh to the great Legislative
battle that is to be fought in the Senate
over SILVER. Some ugly talk is being
INDUCED in by some Of those who voted
for repeal in the House, on the promise
that further silver legislation should at
once follow, because Of the movement
now under way to prevent tue House
undertaking any other financial leg.sla
ton at the extra session, and II the
movement succeeds there vii be more
Of the talk. An examination Of the en-
tire debate in the House will show that
a large majority Of those who voted for
repeal announced themselves as blme
talists, and many Of them stated in their
speeches that they would vote for re-
peal because they expected silver legis
Iaton to follow. A bill for q single
gold standard could not yet forty votes
IN the House.
Although there Is doubt, notwth
standing the positive prediction Of such
Senators as Gorman Hill, Morrill, and
Allison, as to the outcome of the silver
battle in the Senate, there is little or
none as to the fate Of the Wilson bill,
which has Just passed the House. 1t
Will be pigeon hole1 by the Finance
committee, to which it Will DC referred
AS soon Us 1t goes to the Senate. The
fight in the Senate viii be over the
Voorhees, bill, which after providing
Tor the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law declares it to BE-
the polcy Of this government to main
taln blmctalIic currency.
The administration is making eyCrv
effort TO secure votes for the Voorhees,
bill from the Southern Senators who
have been classed among those opposed
to unconditional repeal, and this week
President Cleveland is coming back to
Washington to help. Numerous gains
are claimed bat the only names yet
mentioned are those Of Senators Call
and PdSCO, Of Florida WHO have agreed
to follow the example of voorhees, and
Hill N making free coinage speeches
and then voting for repeal. The work
Is, however, only half done when il ma.
jorlty Of promised votes haye been OBJ
taine1 for the VOORHEES, bill. The bill
cannot BE passed unless it be voted up
oA, ard It cannot We voted upon unit
the consent OF practically all Of the
Senators has been obtained. Efforts
are now beln" made to reach an agree -
ment ii to the length of time the bill
Shall be debated an to set day for
taking the vote, but some Of the sSena-
tons VII have TO undergo "a great
change Cd nIn0 before anything definite
comes Of them. The Senator'S from tue

The same people say that the Lacka-

that within the next year the interests which
secured control Of that road will also hold

Cold Water Ininres Plants.

Guard against the application Of cold
or hard water TO the roots Of plants. and
especially in the winter months, when
there has been a heavy fall of snow, hail
or cold rains. The water in the tanks
then becomes very much too cold. This
may not be noticed in the ordinary
course Of things, and the plants are sure
to suffer a check at the ROOFS that, in the
case of camellias, for instance, would
be quite sufficient to cause bud dropping.
I am always very careful that the water
in our tanks is a few degrees warmer
than the house in which the plants are
growing. This is very important In sue
cessful plant culture.
We are apt to say sometimes on be-
holding a sickly plant-one widowed or
with rust on the ~foliage-that it must
have been subjected to a draft or cur
rent Of cold air, whereas the probable
cause was the use Of cold water, which
paralyzed the roots. Proof of this may
easily be seen by giving Il or two APP
plications of cold water to winter Gu
cumbers or kidney beans when setting
their pods.-Exchange.

Paving Streets with Cork.

A material which is being satisfac-
torily introduced for paving streets is
composed of granulated cork and btu
men pressed into blocks, and which are
laid like bricks Or wood paving, the spe-
cial advantage secured being that of
elasticity. In roadways it furnishes a
fine foothold for horses, and at the same
time does away to a great degree with
the noise which commonly accompanies
city traffic. In Australia this method
has been resorted to with excellent re-
sults.-New York Sun.

Ordering His Own Tombstone.

A countryman called On a sculptor in
Tilsit and ordered a tombstone in the
shape of a cross, and gave full instruc-
tons as tt the lettering and the date Of
the decease and promised to fetch it
away himself. He failed, however, to
turn up at the day appointed, and the
sculptor wrote to remind him of his
promise. The other day the lnan turned
up at last, but said that he wanted the
date erased. On being asked his reason
for the strange request the countryman
answered that a gypsy woman had told
him that he would die OF the day which
he had ordered to be inscribed on the
cross; the prophecy had not, however,
come true, and he now wanted to take
away the monument, but without thf
