WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-The senate this
week will be given up entirely to speech
making unless the unexpected should
happen. There is no chance for o mate
rial change In the programme unless il
should come through o compromise. A
small storm cloud is in the horizon for to-
morrow in the shape of Senator Stewards
resolution concerning the duties of the va
rious branches of government. II 10 un-
derstood to be the intention OF the Nevada
senator to arraign the president for al
legged interference in congressional duties.
II the other senators should desire to ex.
press themselves upon the subject. the de-
sire may provoke some sharp rejoinders.
There will also probably be other resolu-
tions up for debate for the first hour or
two Of the daily sessions at different times
during the week.
Tuesday, will in all probability give way to
Senator Perkins, and will not speak until
later. Perkins will suggest q compromise,
looking TO the coinage Of the American
product of silver, with q duty on foreign
silver. Jones of Nevada may speak during
the week, and il is understood that when

The house will devote its entire atten-
tion for the coming week excepting to-
morrow to the Tucker bill for the repeal
of the federal election law. The debate
will run according to the special order
adopted Friday until Tuesday, Oct. 8. II
10 probable that the debate will bc OF an
exceedingly lively character.
Some democratic members who hold the
chairmanships of the moro unimportant
committees that are deprived of clerks by
the Economists" and Performers" are
arranging surprise to meet the economi-
cal platform. They intend TO offer bill
or resolution to abolish, or at least cut
down tho mileage allowance of members.
Under the present law members receive
20 cents per milo for each mile travelled to
and from Washington. To eastern MEM
bers this allowance amounts to COM
paratively small sum, but TO those who
are Obliged to travel from 300 to 5000
miles II is an item of consequence. The
reduction Of the mileage allowance would
not affect the eastern members 10 any
great extent and now they propose to sec
in practical way whether those who have
been conspicuous in cutting OIL clerks will
vote to reduce the mileage.

Their Houses Are to BE Blown Up.
New YORK, Sept. 24.-Whilst the mon.
eyed men of New York will tell YOU that
they have not the slightest fear of danger
TO person or property from the alleged
great army of hungry men now in the
slums of New York, they will admit that
they have taken precautions. One OF the
first discoveries made by . reporter was
that Coils p. Huntington, the railroad
magnate, and Cornelius Vanderbilt were
notified quite recently by an alleged an.
srchist that their new palaces on Fifth
avenue would shortly be blown skyward
by dynamite. One OF the workmen at the
yet unfinished Vanderbilt residence also
discovered o card tackled upon the GOV.
cred entrance to the building.
Tho card was covered with o scrawl
which declared that the time had come for
the rich man to suffer for the so-called
wrongs of the poor. II was very incendiary
in tone, but Vanderbilt believed it the
work of some crank who became agitated
over the recent newspaper discussion
about anarchists aud their threats. How.
over another card was tackled upon the
boxed-up fence of c. p. Huntington's
mansion across Fifth avenue. Both cards
were undoubtedly of the same origin and

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS
Stsvart's Arraisnm,nt Of ClsTsland to
Vary the lonotOny In tho Senate.
TUCKER BILL IN THE HOUSE
The Debate Likely to Be OF a
Red Hot Cha raoter-A Bill to
Reduce the Mileage
OF Members.

WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-The situation
In the senate fails to show encouragement
for those who are making tho battle for
unconditional repeal. The repeal forces
are apparently no nearer victory than 10
days ago, and 1t does not appear that they
have made convert in the senate tor two
weeks. The prospects for unconditional
repeal are not SO bright - whom the re-
peal bill passed the house. The repeal
senators have apparently lost confidence
and the anti-repeal senators have re-
gained all the courage they lost after the
passage of the measure by the house.
Two weeks ago il was mysteriously
rumorod that the repeal forces might de-
mand q vote ut any hour aud rush the
measure through tho senate. Now no
advocate of repeal can be found who will
predict with any confidence that the Anal
vote will be reached before the middle of
October, and yet the numerical strength
OF the repealers is as strong In the senate
to-day as three weeks ago.
They have an undoubted majority, prob
ably three-ffths. and there can be no
question of the result when final vote is
reached. But when the vote is to come is
the great mystery of the future. Under
the present rules of the senate half a
dozen senators can indefinitely prolong
the fight and postpone a vote and II they
are SO inclined, may either defeat the
measure or force q compromise. The diff
ficulty. however, will be in agreeing upon
the form of compromise. No one ac-
quainted with the vice president and his
antecedents gives the least credence to the
story sent out from here that he will at q
given time recognize Voorhees, for the pur-
pose OF moving the passage Of the bill and
refuse to recognize any one else.

DEATH FOR ALL THE GANG.

Out the Meachsmites.
MOBILE. Sept. 2i.-The Meachamite
gang has either been exterminated or
driven from the country. These Meach-
amites are o most peculiar people. I'm.
like tho white caps OF Mississippi and
Louisiana. they have not ignorance to
plead. They are men OF moro or less cd.
ucation. They cannot complain OF pow.
erty, for every one of them owns his own
farm, and has left fine growing crops to
go in the night and murder and plllaee
for the mere love of the thing.
Since the gang which Is known by the
name of "Hell at the Breech" commenced
to hold their midnight meetings ut Dead
Level church, no man, woman or child In
the ncighborhood has breathed an easy
breath. Old man Bedsole. the father and
dictator OF the gang, has made full con-
fession, detailing, in all Of its horror, the
story of their crimes.
The gang was bound by the most APP
palling of oaths. They swore to obey
blindly the dictates OF the ruling council,
and pillage for the pure love OF pillage
was the object of the order. Murder was
merely q precautionary measure. The
Meachamites believed In tho old adage
that dead men tell no tales, aud butchersd
their victims without the slightest display
Of conscience. They are not towards. No
man will deny the courage of any member
OF the gang. They Ambushed their victims
because II was safcr to destroy them In

That such q gang could operate In .

TO REMOVE TO BRIDGEPORT.

The Stratford granite and marble works have moved their plant perma- nently, to Bridgeport. This they were obliged to do, ,on account of he difficulty experienced in getting stone unloaded from the cars. The raising of the rail road through the town, removed the side tracks, and it has been impossible for the past three months, for them to get any stock by rail. When the inn prove.nents are completed the road will probably put inside tracks for unload ing freight, but they will be located so far away from where they were before, that it would be very inconvenient for the granite works if they continued in their old location, and would entail heavy expense for carting, so it was thought best to give up their business here entirely. They have had an office and salesroom at No. Lyon street. Bridgeport, opposite the railroad station, for the past three years, and have now leased the dock in the rear of their office and will carry on their cutting work there. The business has been establish ed here, for the past 13 years, and from a small concern employing one to two men, has increased to the largest in Fair field county, employing in the busy sea- son from IS to 20 hands. It is loss to any town to have fourishing business remove from it, but in this case no other course seemed advisable.
