JERSEY CITY, Sept. 2.-The State and
Government are working together and
taking vigorous measures to prevent the
spread of cholera here. The city is to be
thoroughly patrolled byofficers with author
ity to enter houses at all hours, and the
streets are to be cleaned ana sprinkled
with disinfectants.
Another suspected case was discovered

SPEAKERS IN DEMAND.
The Rock Which May Wreck the
Hone of Silver

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-Notwithstand-
ing that surface indications in the Senate
all point 10 an early effort on the part of
the advocates of the repeal bill TO force
early action upon that measure, the silver
Senators do not seem alarmed over the
situation. When spoken to upon the Ques-
ton they say little, but seem TO have a look
upon their faces which indicates that they
may know thing or two the world at
large has not become familiar with. While
none of them will admit in terms that they
have any intention of flibustering, they
pect and intend to secure full and free
discussion of the question in all its phases
before vote can be taken.
1t appeared twice during the week as
though the silver men might run ashore
suddenly for want of speaker. and so
the programme for next week is TO have at
least one set speech for each day, and
after that to depend upon luck and routine
to consume the remainder of the time.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The Posts Wash
ingtOn special says: Secretary Carlisle has
about made up his mind to ask Congress
to authorize the coinage Of the silver bull
lion at present lying in the treasury. This
amounts to So, 100000 in round numbers.
By Its coiuage the Government would es-
cape the deficit which now threatens and
have money enough to tide it over to the
time when the income will once more equal
or exceed the expenditures. The Secretary
does not believe there will be much oppo-
sition to the request. The only possible
opposition he can see must come from the
free-sllver men, who may Insist that the
entire amount Of silver in the treasury
shall be coined. The Secretary, as far as
he is concerned, does not see any great
objection to such a demand. He even be-
lieves the coinage OF the entire amount of
bullion would have the effect of dissipat-
ing from the minds of many persons the
belief that the keeping of bullion hncoined
is equivalent to keeping that amount of
money out of circulation.
