Strength of Silver.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
strength displayed by silver during the
past week has attracted the attention
of Treasury officials, who keep close
watch on the least fluctuations in mat
tiers affecting the value of money the
world over. Silver is reported today in
London as 316 pence per ounce higher
than yesterday, the figure today being
80 9.I6 pence per ounce. The cause
for this strength is believed to be due
not to temporary speculation, but to
we'll grounded opinion that Russia in
the near future will adopt silver as a
part of her monetary system. 1t is
stated at the Treasury department that
intimations have been received that
Russia will replace her uncovered pa
per money with silver, to be used for
subsidiary coin. At pres ent the amount
of silver in use In Russia as money is
not 50 cents per capita. 1t is stated
here that Russia can easily absorb
S25OOOO of silver, and is desirous of
doing 80, for the purpose of pushing
her commerce In the east with Persia,
India and China, which use silver al.
most exclusively as money.

ANOTHER HORROR IN SPAIN.
Bombs Thrown From . Gallery In &
Theater;

Theater:
BARCELONA, Nov. 8.-During the
second act Of the opera "Wtlliam Tell"
last night. in the Lyceum opera house,
place much frequented by the elite
of Barcelona society, two bombs, pre-.
sumably loaded with dynamite, were
thrown from the galleries into the au-
dience below. One struck on the back
Of man in one Of the seats and fell to
the floor harmless. The other exploded
in the crowd Of spectators, killing and
wounding large number of people
and making wreck Of the fixtures of
the building. Fifteen persons were
killed outright. Others have since died,
bringing the total to twenty.three.
The galleries were instantly barricaded
by the police and every one In them in
spected. Two well known anarchists,
companions of Pallas, who was recent
lY executed. were captured.
A panic followed the explosion, and
in the rush great many people were
hurt and some killed. The bomb eS-
ploded in the stalls where preponder-
ance of the audience were ladies Ia full
dress.
After the explosion the telegraph
lines were occupied In the transmits
sion of government messages all night.
No private dispatches were allowed to
be sent before morning. The unex.
ploied bomb Is in the possession Of the
police. 1t Is fac simile of the bomb
used by Pallas In his attempt upon the
life of Gen. Martinez Campos.
The feeling against the anarchists Is
very bitter, the people believing that
this is but the first Of series Of out
RACES that will be attempted to avenge
the death Of Pallas, who the night be-
fore his death, declared that some Of his
fellow anarchists were sworn to Wreak
vengeance for his killing. r,
Madrid, Nov. 8.-DIspatches from
Barcelona this evening say that the
men who threw the bombs are sup.
posed to have sat In the fourth or fifth
gallery. Fifteen persons were killed
Instantly by the explosion. Fifteen
others who were injured died today.
Among the foreigners who are killed
were: DR.. Hoggenbrod, German; Gull.
laume du Canal Verdon, French; Hen
ry Yamm, local agent for an English
firm. These bodies are under the care
Of the government.
Among the injured Is Herr Wicke,
representative of English and North
American merct ant firms. No other
persons having business relations with
British firms were injured. Maury.
Damerino, sister of an actress on the
stage, succumbed to her injuries this
evening.
Soldini, the Italian anarchist, who
was arrested, made a confession, but 1t
Is dlscredited, owing to his many con.
Trajectory statements.
At 8 O'clock this evening nine an
archists had been arrested In Barcelona
on suspicion of completely in the crime.
The government has decided to expel
all foreign anarchists from Spain, and
to pass drastic bills as soon as possible
against Spanish anarchists.

EXPRESSED as 10 the power OF the Senator
to pass il, not as to the power to reach
vote, but the power to pass uncondl-
tional repeal with majority. In the
very midst of the fight, in the hottest Of
it, when men were anxious, when every
Senator was desirous that something
might be done, (and when I say every
Senate. mean all on 10th sides Of the
chambers,) to relieve the great distress
in the financial interest and in CONNER
cial affairs, the first note Of warning we
had, publicly uttered, came from the
Senator from Ono, the Senator who led
more than one half of the repeal column,
that it was impossible to pass it,"
In the light Of disclosures hope you
will ask my friends to reconsider their
criticisms and answer who were the OBJ.
structionists? Who wanted delay? Which
side had the majority? Mr.. German
says: "They believed they were 10 a
minority, and a delay of weeks became
necessary that we might convert enough
of our side to pass the BILL" Again,
s.When the contest became pharo the
doubt was then expressed as to the
power of the Senate to pass it, not as to
the power to reach vote, but the
power to pass the unconditional repeal
with majority"
This IS a manly admission and does
credit to that genteman's candor. Who
was converted? How? By what means?
Others must answer. The opponents
of unconditional repeal have had from
the beginning majority OF Democratic
Senators. On or about the lst Of
October I drew up the following re.
quest to Mr.. German, chairman of the
Democratic caucus:
"The undersigned Senators respect
fully request that Democratic caucus.

Feeling Good.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The Re-
publicans here are exulting over the
election. An observer, IN passing
through the government department
can easily identify the Republicans
holding places. Their faces are wreath
ed in smiles, and they cannot refrain
from Growing over their Democratic
associates. The prevailing opinion
here is that the defeat of
the Democracy in the northern states is
mainly due to the existing business
depression and hard times. Many mills
and factories are closed which were
running last year, and the Republican
compaigners had but to remind the idle
employees that they had worked under a
Democratic administration. No re-
asoning could overcome the effect, no
matter how clearly it was demonstrate
ed that the evils we are now suffering
came to US from Republican rule.
The defeatin New York is attributed
to the stubbornness Of the machine In
nominating Maynard for the court Of
appeals and Boody for mayor Of Brook
lyn. Democratic protests against such
methods came from all parts Of the
State.

DETERRENT ESTIMATES.
Probabilities of the Effects OF the Ne,
Tarlff BILL

Probabilities of the Effects OF the New
Tarin BilI.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2-The meeting of
the ways and means committee yester-
day was brief The estimates to be
submitted showing the probable differ
ence In revenue that would result from
the new bill were not complete and the
committee adjourned until Monday to
give Clerk Talbot and his assist
ants further time. The labor of esti-
mating the revenue that would be de-
rived under the new tariff bill Is very
great, but 1t has progressed far enough
to warrant the statement that on the
basis of the imports of 1899, the loss of
revenue resulting from the enactment
Of the new bill and the repeal OF the
Mckinley act would be about $50, OOO,-
100 per year
OF course this estimate is on the sup.
position that imports under the new
bill would be no greater than under the
present law, supposition which the
democrats by no means concede, IL is
the conclusion Of Chairman Wilson
and his democratic associates that
importations viii he SO stimulated

TO TURN GOAT CHAsERs.
A New Duty to Be Added to the Po-
Hceman's List.

nceman's List.
?. J. O'COnnor, Esq, carried his point
before the recorder yesterday morning in
the goat cases, and as result all the
cases were dismissed Mr.. O'Connor
only represented his own case, but the
others got the benefit Of his efforts
AS the result of the investigation of the
law instituted by Mr.. O'CouuOr. the police
will not be able 10 save themselves the
trouble Of chasing stray goats by putting
their owners on the docket hereafter, un-
less council amends the present ordi-
nances on the subject SO as to include
goats. This will probably be done.
The truth is that Savannah ordinances
for impoundiug goats and "other cattle"
and tining their owners for the Offenses of
their four-footed property, are rather
mixed.
The first Ordina nee on the subject was
passed in 1885, and prohibited owners of
horses, mules and jacl1asses from allow
ing these animals to run at large. The
penalty for so doing was a fine of s.. Cows
and goats were then privileged TO run at
large as much as they pleased and no
body thought of Directing to them.
Later a second sectiOnNwas added to
the ordinance, prohibiting the owners of
cows from allowing them to run at large
from the setting Of the sun to the rising
OF the same
The residents of Savannah at that date
did not mind the cows pasturing in the
squares in the day time, but they objected
to stumbling over them at night while
passing along the unlighted streets.
In 1853 an amendment was made to the
law to the effect that cows and other cat
tie should not be allowed to run at large
north of Gwinnett street and in 1881 an
ordinance was passed providing for the
impounding of horses, mules cows and
other cattle found at large in the city.
The recorder was unable to find any
ordinance providing for the prosecuting
of owners who allowed their goats TO run.
at large, and consequently the cases were
dismissed.
Mr. O'COnnOr did not make his point
that goats were not cattle, and if he had
the recorder would not have sustained
him
Recorder Wilson says that if goats are
not cattle he would like TO know how else
they should be classified.
II is pretty hot now for the policemen
TO chase goats. but there does not seem TO
be any help for it.

exciting one.
II was reported yesterday That Mr..

didatcs for the place, had withdrawn
from the race This is not the case,
however. Mr. Baown is in the race to

no money spent for votes At the election,
and they threaten prosecution to the
extent Of the law OF any parties guilty Of
such practice.
Mr.. Brown is a member OF Tammany.
Tammany is not very strong in the Fifth
district, but its members will do what
they can for 1Ir Brown.
His friends also claim that he has CON

from them

As the colored voters of the district are
largely in the majority it would seem
that the election of one of the two coiOred

fact of there being five white candidates
and only two colored candidates in the

this is not the case.

CAPT. DAGeETT's WHALES.
A Whaling Brig Making Havo

A Whaling Brig Making Havoc
Among Them Of Cape Henry.
Last Tuesday the steamship City of
Augustus passengers, hence from New
York, sighted the school of whales which
Capt. Daggett has corrallcd off Cape
Henry. There are supposed to be about
a hundred dig fishes in the school, but a
whaling brig is making havoc among
them. Their number win soon be very
small. This school is an unusually
large one to be found so far to the south
ward, though whales are often seen at
this season all along the Atlantic coast
These dcnizens of the North Pole are
supposed 10 have found something tooth
some in this latitude, or possibly
they may be looking for a warm
bath. A few years ago a whale
hundred feet in length was captured in
Calaboga sound. 1t was found and cut
up by a whaling schooner Occasionally
a whale is seen in Tybec roads Once a
couple of cub whales got stranded in one
Of the slews on tho beach and met their
fate at the hands of the Islanders
Capt. Daggett's whales is a fish story, ;"
but it concerns real whales, and those
who go down to the sea" with that ge-
NAL mariner win be allowed to see them,
free of charge, if they, whales and pas
sengcrs, are in sight. Sea sick passengers
will be excused from attending the eXhl-
bitiOn.
