Pennsylvsnia.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.-The Board of
Managers Of the Union League at their
meeting recently issued a call for q
special meeting Of the league for tonight !;
to allow the members to place themselves
on record as favoring the prompt repeal
Of the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act. The action of the board was unan-
imous and was in response to request
from more than 800 members of the
league. This is regarded as proof that
the sentiment of the league is over
whelmingly in favor of the unconditional
repeal Of the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman bill.
The Board OF Managers have completed
arrangements for the meeting of the
league, which will be held in the as
sembly room Of the league house. The
members having charge of the subject

A Struggle Between Stockholders for
Control of the Road.
New York, Oct. 19.-The Northern
Pacific stockholders met today, and the
end OF long fight is at hand. 1t is diff.
cult to forecast the result at present, but
there is evidence that a warm support
has been extended to the Belmont. Ives

independent, anti Willard board of direct.

between the managers and the Belmont
committee have been circulated but thew
are understood to be without authority.
The strength of the support given to the
independent stockholders is said to be
such as to confirm their resolution to
make a "straight-out" contest to the end.

A VAR CLOUD In EUROPE
1 Probability That the Russian Visit will
PreClpitate Trouble.
FRANCE EXHIBITS 4 WARLIKE SPIRIT
She Is Anxious TO AVeDse Pancisd Wrongs,
and Counts on the Help and Support
Of the Russian Empire.

PARIS, Oct. 19.-French newspapers
publish long comments upon the SYM
pathy expressed by Russians at the
death of Marshal MacMahon and seem
greatly pleased at it. The czar's mes
sage of thanks to President Carnot for
courtesies extended the Russian sailors
at Toulon and Paris has also greatly
pleased the newspapers of this and other
cities of France. 1t may be said that
France and Frenchmen feel more conf
dence today in the stability of the repub-
lie and in the strer 9Th of their army and
navy than they have for the past 20
years. The visit Of the Russians to
France has had a decidedly bracing effect
upon the French bat it is an open ques-
tion whether this will not precipitate the
long-expected European war. France is
now herself again. Hot tempered, ultra
sensitive, chivalrous to very high
degree, proud OF her armies and navy,
strong in her likes and dislikes, quick to
resent injury whether real or fancied,
France is more dangerous to the peace of
Europe than she was q week ago. After
all is summed down to the bottom facts,
the Wild, extravagant enthusiasm shown
by French people toward their Russian
guests means but one thing, the extreme
delight that France feels emanates from
the idea that Russia is ready to fight
with her, and not satisfaction at the
prospects of peace in the future. The
lighting enthusiasm displayed at Toulon
and at Paris is as the enthusiasm of 1870,
when "a Berlin" rang from the Medi-
terranean to the British channel and
from the Atlantic to the Prussian 'front.'

che" 30 that in spite of the czar's warn.
ing, in spite of Carnot's orders, a spirit
OF war is stirring up the enthusiastic
millions OF France and urging them on to
battle in spite of their leaders. Behind
all those toasts to the peace and to the
prosperity of France was a thinly con-
cealed toast to the brotherhood in arms
expected to exist between Russia and
France when the war trumpet calls all
Europe to arms. Those toasts were the
toasts of war, not the toasts OF peace anC
nobody knows this better than the cal
culating, wakeful minds of Germany
Italy, Austria and England Some
peaceful demonstrations are more dan
gerous than war-like outbursts. The
enthusiasm shown by the French people
is clear-cut demonstration of this. II
shows with what wild enthusiasm France
at moments notice would go to wa,
with Russia at her side. 1t shows the
real feeling at the bottom of French
hearts, aud the European ship of state
will need very careful handling in thif
cyclonic weather in order to avert CLASH
and fearful shipwrecks.

He Thinks the Senate II Being Brought
into Disrepute.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l7.-At the opening
OF the senate this morning Dolph asked
that the journal be corrected to show the
presence of Allen and Kyle on Sunday
roll calls yesterday, they having been
present in the senate, but failed to vote.
Dolph said twenty-six republican sem
ators not only favored repeal Of the
Sherman act. but would vote to amend
the rules go that majority could limit
debate. He regarded it as farcical for a
senator to suggest the absence of q
quorum, then ON roll call refuse 10 vote.
The senate is being brought into disrepute
by such course.

ring from pensions all who engaged in

false to the Union to the pension rolls"

Oates said he fought four years for

he was devoted to the Union and would
shed more blood in it's defense than ever
Burrows did. He suggested that the bill

LAYING FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
Republican Senators Hold . Conforencs
on the situation.

ON the situation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-An extended
conference of republican senators was
held last night to talk over the situation
with view of taking party advantage of
any mistakes which the democrats may
make on the financial question. Only re-
peal republicans were present. 1t was
practically the unanimous opinion that
the bsst policy is to remain quiet, neither
helping the democrats out Of the present
snarl nor doing anything to prevent the
progress of the repeal bill, but if it be-.
comes evident that the democrats can do
nothing, then to prepare republican
measure and ask the senate to pass it.
A majority WAS in favor of amend.
ing the rules if necessary to get
the bill through, though there were
some objections to any change which
might help the democrats in getting the
election and tariff bills through. There
were some expressions favoriDg a COM
promise on the repeal bill.
Steering Committee At Work.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 19.-The democratic
senate is devotipg most of it's time to an
effort to agree among themselves, and
are OF the opinion that they are in a
fair way to agree on bill to be intro
duced at the beginning of next week.
1t is fact that the democratic steering
committee has almost agreed on bill
and are now trying to get the various
factions to accept it. Silver democrats
will accept it rather readily. although
they are not fully satisfied with the linn
tied recognition Of silver, but some re.
peal democrats are still holding out for
absolute repeal. The opinion is ex-
pressed that if all these cannot be won
over, enough republicans can be &c.
cured to pass the measure. The pro-
posed bill extends the provisions OF the
present silver purchase law to January
l, 1895, with reduction Of monthly
purchases to 2.500,00O per month, and
for coinage Immediately of the seign-
forage silver in the treasury. The matter
OF bond issue is still open. The
