practically carrying floating debt that
is increasing at the rate of S5,0OO,OOO a
month. This is an injustice to the
creditors of thu government that is alb
solutely indefensible, from an honorable
business point of view.
There are other proposed amend
ments to the Voorhees, bill that may
make trouble before they are disposed
of, and every one Of them will have to be
voted upon before the vote upon the or
iginal bill can be taken. Should the
voorhees, bill get though the senate all
right, and according to present indica-
tions it will, it will then have some
trouble in the house. But the trouble
in the house will be principally that OF
securing a quorum Of repealers, the sill
yer men having served notice that they
will not help make it. An attempt is
now being made to get the numerous
q bsenttees in their seats by Monday.
Should it succeed the bill can be put
through the house in short order, owing
to the existence Of cloture.
The democrats of the house do not
fancy the idea of having in circulation
1000 copies of the recent tariff hearings
before the ways and means committee;
the arguments presented In favor of pro-
lection are too nearly unanswerable to
suit them. The house committee de-
cided that only 1000 copies OF the book
should be printed for the use of the
house, it being tacitly understood that
democrats would suppress as many OF
those as possible. The senate commit
tee, however, at the suge estion, it Is
said, OF a democratic senator who thinks
protection a good thing, notwithstand-
ing the Chicago Platforms assertion to
the Contrary, amended the resolution
so as to raise the number to 1000, one
half to be for the use of the senate, and
it has been so adopted.
Little opposition will come from any
quarter to an immediate adjournment
of congress as soon as the silver ques-
ton shall have been disposed Of. There
is a general disposition on the part of
senators and representatives to go home
and talk 1t all over with their constitu-
ents before the beginning of the regular
session. And it is more than probable
that some of them will hear some I'M
pleasant things when they get back
home.

Washington Crops.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Oct, 29.-The fol-
lowing review of the crop season of 1893
has been forwarded to Washington City
by the Washingto ton state weather ser
vice:
In many respects the crop season OF
1893 has been remarkable one in this
state. Owing to continued rains dur
ing the first three months OF 1898, gen.
eral farming operations, usually begin
ming in March, we're delayed from two
to five weeks in all counties west of the
Cascades and in the northeastern part
of the state. The season opened with a
March temperature 3 4 colder than the
average, and rainfall, which, though
only ,OS less than the normal, gave a
larger number of rainy days than usual
at this time of year. Excess Of mois
ture was noticeable in the eastern part
of the state. April was an unfavorable
month, as were May and June. July
was colder than the average, but the
month was generally beneficial. Aug
ust was an ideal month for the farmer,
September was tolerably favorable, but
October with its phenomenal rainfall,
especially in the eastern part of the
state, and its low temperature, has been
exceedingly Injurious.

has been excessive in al sections during

900 people in excursion boats went out
to Point Bonita this afternoon to view
the wreck of the steamer City of New

smooth and the vessel was resting easily.

special Correspondence.


WASHINGTON, October AZ, 1893.
Circumstances, aided by the toadies
who constantly surround HIM, have this
week greatly aggravated the "big head"
with which Mr. Cleveland has for a long
time been ffiicted. He thinks that il
was himself alone who caused the sud
den collapse of the opposition to uncon-
ditiGnal repeal in the senate and no is
in consequence disposed to be more
uutocratic than ever. The sudden change
in the tactics of the senators opposed to
the Voorhees, bill, while seemingly al
most miracle, is in reality easily ac-
counted for on common sense grounds,
1t must be remembered to start with
that no senator has been at any time
opposed to the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the silver law. 1t WAS the I'M
conditional repeal OF that clause that the
silver senators opposed, because they
thought they could thereby secure a
compromise in the shape of an amend
ment that would provide in some way
for the continued coinage of silver
money. After Senator Sherman served
notice on the democrats, In his great
speech, that he republican senators who
were committed to unconditional repeal
would not aid thu democrats in arriving
at any compromise democrats tried to
patch up a compromise among them
selves, but Mr.. Cleveland succeeded in
preventing it. 1t being then plain that
no compromise could be reached there
was no longer any reason for prolonging
the fight; hence the present situation.
To all appearances at this writing the
passage of the Voorhees, bill by the sem
ate is only a question of few hours,
although there is still possibility that
another dead lock may be brought about
before the final vote is taken. There
are several things which may bring
abont another ead-lock, chief Of which
is The belief on the part of many sena-
tors that the Voorhees, bill should be
amended so as to provide for an issue of
bonds not only for the purpose of
strengthening the gold reserve, but to
provide the money to pay the current
expenses of the government, the policy,
of the democratic administration ard
congress having resulted in reducing
the receipts of the government from all
sources to an extent that is unquestion-
ably alarming. Senator Sherman has
informed the democrats that the repub-
icans considered such an amendment to
the bill necessary. The democratic lead
ers are in a quandry; they know that it
will have to come to an issue of bonds
sooner or later, but because of the al
most solid opposition of the southern
senators they fear TO propose such an
amendment themselves and fear to al
low the proposition to come from the re-
publicans lest the honor of preserving
the credit of the nation should be given
by the people to the republicans. They
wish to pass the bill without amend
ment, and, in the usual democratic style,
to allow the question of preserving the
national credit to drift along as long as
possible. The government is already,
taking Secretary Carlisle's own figures,

some Of the eastern counties rose to luz
deg on several dates. The injury to
crops from this wa IN spell was insight
fcant.
Owing to the lateness of the spring,
the wheat crop was not planted IN Eas-
tern Washington, north Of Snake rlver'
much before the latter part OF May
while in Western and Southern Wash
ineton il was all sown by the middle oil
April. The heavy rain and snowfall OF
winter and spring saturated the soil and
assn ed good crop. The grain grew
in manner to justify predictions OF a
great yield. On September % rainy
spell, the like OF which has never been
heard of within the memory of the old
est inhabitant, began and lasted till DC
tober 70. Thousands of acres Of stand
ing grain in Whitman, Stevens, Lincoln,
Spokane and Douglas counties were
knocked down and greatly injured
while acres upon acres of grain in shock
were completely ruined. The loss IN
these counties from this rain has been
yariously estimated at from 5000, OOO to
100000 bushels.
The sowing of barley began carly.
There was a decided increase in acreage
over former years, and the yield has
been fully up to the average. The acre
age was increased, Harvesting began
about the middle of August in Eastern
Washington, and about the end of the
month in the western portion, the sea-
son being from two to four weeks late,
The seasons hay crop has been an
excellent one. In quantity and quality
it is fully up to the average in nearly all
sections. The crop was stored in good
condition by the end OF August in Wes-
tern Washington and about 10 days
later in the eastern part of the state.
Fruit-growers in small fruits we're
we'll repaid for their labor, the crop be-
ing immense in all portions OF the state.
Washington bids fair to rival the Gold
en- state in the matter Of Embarrassing
Apples we're seriously injured by the
cold showers of the early season. In
sects in large numbers made their ap-
pearance, but we're kept in check by
spraying recommended by the state in
spector. Clarke county prune-raisers
have made record this year. Tons OF
the italian variety have been success
fully dried in that county during the
season.
This years hop crop has been up to
the average in quantity and quality.
Picking began from one to three weeks
late, and the result was that the vines
we're better maturel and there was less

ing favorable attention in Europe, and
are pronounced by judges to be far su-
perior to any from England. The aver
age yield of Washington hops, too, is
generally higher, by 100 or 200 pounds
to the acre, than those raised in Eng.

Chinese Driven Off,

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 2S.-More
Chinese rioting was reported last night
in Cahuenga valley, the vegetable gar
dening district between this city and
the ocean. Since the Geary law lapsed
into inanimation, white vegetabie-grow-
ers have become SO incensed and dem
onstrative, that nearly all the Chinese
have left of their own accord. One hun
dred and fifty members of the anti
Chinese league organized last night,
however, and moved upon the Hancock,
Griffin and Durkee ranches, three of the
largest in the valley. Eighteen Chinese
found in the shacks were driven to the
city and so badly frightened that they
will not return. Many shots we're fred,
but no one was injured. The evicted
Chinese have employed counsel.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Rsprcsentativ
M. ID. Harter, one of the foremost advo.
Gates of the repeal of the purchase clause
of the Sherman Silver law, contradicts the
reports which have been circulated during
the past few days to the effect that the
free silver men have won to their views
congressman supposed to ke favorably
disposed towards the Presidents recon-
mendation. Inquiries Of Mr.. Harter re-
garding the situation have been numerous.
In reply to these questions he said: "The
reports that the friends of the repeal Of
silver purchase in the House are weakening,
or that the cause is waning, are absolutely
at variance with facts. Tho House will
vote to stop silver purchases without any
condition. The cause IL stronger to-day
than it has ever been. The majority for
unconditional repeal when that question
is reached will not be less than 30 and
may reach 100. In the Senate there is
likely to be from six to ten majority for
repeal. The danger there is only one of
delay. The House Is likely to adjourn
three days at time after the repeal bill
is passed until the Senate has got through
fighting the people. When that time ar
rives repeal will follow at that end OF the

PARIS, Aug. 15.-The decision of the
5ehring Sea International court OF arbi-
sration, which has been considering the
dispute between the United States and
4 gland, was made public today at noon.
The first five points in article six in the
arbitration treaty have lesn decided
egainst the claims of America.
A close season has been established be-
ginning May aud ending July 81 to be
observed in the North Pacific ocean and
Benring sea.
A protected zone has been established
for 60 miles around the islands.
Pelagic sealing Is allowed outside this
zone In Behring sea from August /.
The use of fire arms has been pro-
hibted.
The American arsitrat ,rs express them :
selves as being perfectly satisfied with
the result of the labors of the joint CON-
mission and the decision arrived at by
them.
While the claims OF the United States
have not been allowed in their specific
for N yet in substance the thing asked for
has been granted, and the seals will
under this decision be protected from
destruction. BY the establishment OF a
protected zone extending sixty miles into
the sea the claim of England that three
marine miles comprises the extent Of
United States ju risdiction is tisallowed.
