SONS.
George 5. Morrison, who is building
the Memphis bridge. is making use of
a new idea in sinking the c;,sSons for
the pier. His scheme is the use Of
great mattresses. which are woven on
the spot. The following description of
preparing and using these mattresses
is from the manuscript of the report
which Mr.. Morrison is preparing on
that work and was printed in the Rail
road Gazette:
The method adopted to limit the
Srour wnS to carpet the bottom OF the
river with woven willow mat similar

>iSSippi river commission for the pro-
lection of crodns banks. The device
proved perfectly successful. Before
he caiss"n could be placed in position
the mats which were to protect the
pier sites from scour had to be placed
Two mrgc> were fitted with ways for
weaving the mats. and two mOOring

AS the weaving proceeded the weaving

this way was 24O feet wide and 400

BABY RuTH'S NOSE BROKEN
A Little Stranger PAYS a Visit to the
Family.
MOTHER AND BABE ARE WELL
The First Time In Our History That a
Presidents Child Has Been Born in
the White House.
MOTHER AND BABE ARE WE'LL
Associated Press.

ASSOCldIcu ITcoo'
Washington, Sept. e.-Mrs. Cleveland
gave bir.h to a baby girl at noon
Mother and child are doing well. 1t was
over an hour after the baby was born
before any one outside the White
House was aware of the fact. The af-
fair was kept a close secret until DR..
Bryant was convinced that the mother
had undergone the ordeal safely and
that the baby was we'll and sound.
Though the press intimate1 at times
that Mrs. Cleveland would become a
mother in time, the birth of the baby
today was somewhat of a surprise as
Mrs. Cleveland was out driving last ev-
ening.
The baby was born at noon. From
time to time during the morning, the
president was.quietly advised as to the
condition of affairs in the sick-room,
and at exactly 70 o'clock, DR.. Bryant
summoned him from the reception room
and mare the important announcement.
Something like shade of disappoint-
ment swept across Clevelands face as
the physician told him that the new
born babe was a girl This is the first
time in the history of the republic that

THE SILVER QUESTION.

New York, Sept. 9.-Bourke Cochran,
the house, has obtained leave of alb
sence and is resting at his country
house at Sands Point. He is nervously
exhausted. His condition, however, is
not serious.
Washington, Sept. 9.-The fifth week
of the extraordinary session of the SEN
ate closed today. and so far as out
ward appearances indicate. that body
is no nearer conclusion upon the
question before 1t than 1t was the day
after Voorhees, reported his bill from
the finance committee. The senators
who oppose the repeal of the Sherman
law talk as bravely of continued oppo-
sition, though they are hardly so con-
fident of the press upon the voting list
as when they were first called together.
1t is evident from the present at least,
they mean to talk indefinitely upon the
financial question. with the hope of
forcing some conclusion from the presi-
dent and a majority of the senate.
On the house side of the capitol, but
little credence is given to the reports
of compromise action in the senate on
the repeal bill. 1t is evidently the plan
of the house leaders to prevent at this
time, any kindred financial currency
legislation which might complicate the
situation in the house. They do not
propose, however, TO allow the house
to fold its hands and adjourn from day
to ady until action is had ON the re-
peal proposition in the senate. AS soon
as the bills can be reported from the
committee the house will take up the
bills to admit the territories of Arizona,
New Mexico, and Utah. the bill to re-
peal the federal election law, and pos
sibly the bankruptcy bill. These meas
Tres will keep the house busy until the
senate's acts will show the country
that something is being done, and at
the same time prevent consideration Of
financial bills that might compllcate
the fight for repeal in the senate.
Washington, Sept. 9.-President Cleve
land absolutely refuses to consent to
grant any concessions in the silver
fight says the Evening Post. More than
this, he will not promise TO agree to
any recognition of silver. even should
the repeal be passed. His position has
the renewed confidence Of the friends
of unconditional repeal who assert that
they have lnway ering faith in the final
passage of the measure. With the u
derstanding that the president stands
upon the platform Of unconditional re-
peal or nothing, the senators have set
tied down for long siege. In the mean
time, the democrats in the senate are
concerned for their party, and will
make a careful canvass.

you that an outbreak may occur at any

are given by the authorities at WASH
ington that the laws Of the United
States regarding the Chinese are to be
