POLITICAL FIGHT.
There Is TO BE n Hos One Over the
Repeal OF Federal Election
Laws.
Many Democrats Favor POstp0ning III
Till the Silver Bill Is Out OF
the Way,
But the Pr ity Is That 1t viii
BE Oh An Earnest This
Week.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. Though the
bill to repeal the federal election laws
is to be presented Thursday in the
house, it Is not at all probable that che
debate on the measure will begin before
Friday. How long the discussion will
last is an unsettled question. The Re-
publicans say that they want at least q
month, and Mr.. Tucker of Virginia,
who has the bill in charge, says that
there will be no limit placed upon
speeches in the line of legitimate dis
cussion, but as soon as it is apparent
the minority is filibustering, the COM
mittee on rules will be invoked for an
order which shall compel vote.
Opposition to Consideration.
There is good deal of opposition
manifested, even on the Democratic
side. to the consideration of a PROPOSE
ton to repeal the federal election laws
1t is claimed that it will detract atten-
tion from the senate, and in this way,
~ well a. by angering the Republicans,
will sndanger the carss OF repeal. The
answer Of the Southern Democrats is
brief but to the point. They say that
they have already sacrificed their opin-
ions on the silver question to the posi-
ton OF the administration, and they
can not 60 back to their constituents
unless something 10 done that 10 directly
desired by their section. Apart from
this, there is a general desire on the
part of the Democratic leaders to have
some questions brought forward upon
which the political lines can DO visibly
drawn. They point out that the
Democratic party is
Not a Unit Upon Silver,
or the state bank tax, or the income
tax, and there are differences of opin-
ion as to the extent to which tariff re-
vision should go. On the question of
abolition of federal forces at the polls,
there is no division of sentiment The
leading Democrats are unanimous in
the hope that there will be very lively
political fight on the repeal of the elec-
tion laws. It has been SO long since
there has been genuine political fight
in the house, that it will be welcomed
not only by the Democrats. but by the
Republicans.
The exact programme which the Re-
publicans will follow in their opposi-
tion to the repeal OF the Federal election
laws, has not yet been made known.
As matter OF fact the secrecy which
is being observed is not without pur-
pose, the minority being afraid of dis
closing the plan of campaign to the
enemy. All that they will say Is to re-
peat their determination to fight until
they can no longer hold out The de-
bate, as already indicated, promises to
be very bitter.

ALEXANDER IS KING.
Bloodless Comp d,Etat of Servia's
Youthful Monarch.


A bloodless coup d'etat was affected at
Belgrade, Servia, the other night. and King
Alexander l. the youthful ruler of Servia,
who had heretofore governed the country
through Regents, now rules in his own name.
A grand banquet was given at the palace to
celebrate King Alexander's success in pass
ing the examination prescribed for Servian
students. M. Ristics and General Belimark-
ovic, the Regents, and all the Ministers of
State were present, as were large number
OF friends and supporters of the Regent.
Unsuspectingly the Regents AMI Ministers
attended the banquet, and while they were
enjoying themselves at the paiacs detach-
menIs of soldiers and bodies of police took
possession of the Ministers houses and occu-
pied the Government buildings.
At midnight, while the festivities were
still in progress, King Alex auder proclaimed
that he had obtained his majority and that
he had assumed, with the Skupshtina, the
government Of the country.
As matter of fact the King had not at
tanned his majority. According TO the SIR
Wan law he does not become OF aga until he
is eighteen years old. and as he was born
August IA, 1876, he will not be eighteen for
considerably over year.
The King and his advisers acted with great
promptitude, and soldiers, who were in walt
ing, at once placed the Regents and Min
isters under arrest and they were sent to
rooms which had been prepared for them IN
the palace whsre they were placed under
guard. The Servian army is loyal to the
King.

PHILADELPHIA, May ia game rooster

children in the vicinity of Warren and
Blodgett streets, West Philadelphia, and

Susan McElhron, of No. 54 Blodgett street,
is now in bed, with his face terribly lace

when taken in connection with the shock,
may yet prove fatal.
While attending to her household duties
Mrs McElhron allowed the child to go out
on the lot in front Of the house to play
with some other children. He had been
gone but short time when his mother
heard his sgonized screams, and running
to the front door she was Mortified TO see
this large game rooster standing over the
child and squirting viciously at the little
ones face, each blow drawing blood. A
neighbor struck the rooster with a club
and stunned il for a moment, but so full OF
fight was the fowl that, recovering, it was
about to attack the newcomer when an.
other blow laid it out
The rooster is the property Of Mrs Betty
Buckley, living on the same street, anc
Mrs. McElhron says she will have her ar

LEBANON, May 15.-From an official
source it is learned that the explosion OF
the locomotive boiler here Saturday by
which two persons were killed and several
others fatally injured was not due to a
shortage of water, and some engineers are
inclined to believe that It was not due tc
defect in the material Of the boiler This
being the case, the company has ordered
the other engines of this class to the shops
in Reading for a thorough inspection The
engine is the most complete wreck ever
seen by railroad men This is the fourth
engine of this class that has exploded.
