the people as expressed at the polls last
November. Congress is required to be
in joint session to count the electoral
vote at o'clock on the second Wednes-

Electors, which will be February Sth.
The President of the Senate will preside
over the joint Assembly, with the

Possibly objection may be raised to
some of the votes from California. Kan

this event the law provides that the two
Houses shall separate, consider objections
and report their findings. The count
cannot proceed until after each objection
is disposed of.
After the certificates are all read the

CONGRESSMAN CAMINETr1.

VIII Devote His Time TO the Mining
Bill and River improvements.
WASHINGTON Jan. 9.-When Congress
man Caminetti arrived yesterday, after a
stormy and cold voyage across the conti-
nent, he at once sought Senator Stewart
and talked over the prospects of the hy-
draulic mining bill which is now before
the Senate Mining Committee. He was
pleased to learn that the measure would
be called up Tuesday for full considera-
ton. He has already accepted the FELTON,
amendments, which only affect minor
details, and hopes to see it go through
without further change. Mr.. Berry OF
Yuba County, it is believed, viii not in
sist upon any radical changes.in in the in
terests of the farmers, whom he repre-
sents, and his business here will probably
be concluded when the bill is reported,
and even before that time. He had in
tended to depart for home on Monday,
but the committee meeting set for Tues
day changed his plans.
While Mr.. Caminetti will devote all his
energies to the mining bill for the pres
ent, he has laid out another piece of work
that Will not permit him to indulge i'll
idloness during the session. That is to
lay the foundations for placing the i'm
provments of California's navigable
rivers under the contract system. If he
can succeed it will save the ever recurring
fight on the appropriation which is never
ar large as it should be. There are many
difficulties in the way, however, as the
scheme involves entirely new surveys and
the establishment of system similar to
that now in force on the Mississippi
River 1t is an undertaking of great
magnitude, and there will be many OBJ
stacles thrown in the way. But Mr..
Caminetti says he can see no reason why
he cannot achieve his ends. The bill pro-
tecting the rights of settlers and miners
in Yosemite Park will also be pushed by
Mr.. Caminetti, and there is good reason
to believe that he will succeed in passing
it, With these three objects to work for
he thinks he will have all he can attend
to up to March 4th

ICE GORGE IN THE OHIO.
ITS BREAKING ATTENDED WITH
DISASTROUS RESULTS.
One Hundred and Five Barges and
One Tow-Boat Wiped Out of
Existence.
Special to the REcoRp.uNroN.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
CINCINNATI, Jan. S.-The ice gorge in
the Ohio River broke tonight, and forty
five loaded coal barges, worth with their
cargoes SlS0,000, sixty empty barges
worth $4,000, and one tow-boat valued
at $4,000, were wiped out of existence,
The gorge began to move at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. Repeated cracks in the
ice, each as loud as a musket shot, gave
warning of the impending danger, and
the rivermen who had been on board
night and day since the forming of the
gorge, had given warning of the impend-
ing danger.
Twelve river packets and number of
towboats were fully exposed to the
weight of the sea Office which came grind
ing down the river at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, but all were saved, with
the exception of the towboat Mattheson.
1t was narrow escape for some of the
packets, and some of their chains parted,
but prompt action on the part ofthe crews
made good the damage, and all save the
Mattheson were saved with a loss of
nothing but the paint on the hulls.
There was no salvation for the coal barges,
however. There was not cent of insur-
ance on any Of the property destroyed.
Bridges were shaken, but escaped with
out material injury.
At o o'clock tonight the ice is still fov-
ing down the river, but the danger to
bridges and boats in this vicinity is over.

colo, only stopping moment to ask as
TO his condition. From newspaper men
about the house it was ascertained that
there were three distinct relapses during
the night. At A. NJ, when he was first
seized with heart failure, the physicians
really thought the end had come, but by
the aid of stimulants, chatting and the
usual accessories he rallied. He soon
after, however, relapsed into a stupor.
Suddenly at o'clock this morning he
| opened his eyes, which are as clear as
ever, and, seeing the physician, ex-
| claimed: doctor, am glad you come"
The tones of his voice were remarkably
| clear and strong for man almost in the
extremities. Five minutes later he sank
again into stupor, and thirty minutes
later he had another attack of heart fail
ure. Strange to relate, he again rallied,
only to be seized third time three hours
later.
At midnight Blaipe's physicians issued
the following bulletin: "Blaine's condi-
ton was more favorable this afternoon.
He is now, at midnight, sleeping quietly,
and shows fair degree OF strength. The
probabilities are that no change for the
worse will take place tonight, although
no positive assurance can be given on
| that point. AS compared with last night
and this morning, he is better''
Both physicians will remain through
the night, and the family will probably
renew the vigil of last night, or at least
remain accessible at moments call.
In view of the conflicting statements
which have been made concerning
Blaine's religious views, the statement
that Rev. DR.. l. S, Hamlin, pastor Of the
Presbyterian Church, Covenant, was
| called to the bedside of the dying, has
more than usual interest. At o'clock
this morning, when the family feared
Blaine was dying, DR.. Hamlin went to
the house by request, and prayed by Mr..
Blaine's bedside.
From the time of the issuance of the
midnight bulletin no one left or entered
the Blaine house, and every indication
points to some hours tranquility.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-At o'clock
| this morning all was quiet at the Blaine
mansion. But one light, that in the sick
chamber, is visible.
At3 A. NJ, all was quiet in the Blaine
mansion, and no evidences of any un-
usual occurrences within.

WATER FAMINE AVERTED.
A Calamity Which Would Have Bee

A Calamity Which Would Have Been
Very Serious to Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan, S.-The calamity of a
water famine was narrowly averted to-
day, and it would be famine which in
all probability could not have been re-
lieved before spring. Captain Mckee,
keeper of the crib of the Chicago Pump
ing Station, was discharged this morning
by City Engineer Clark, because the men
under him intended to allow the ice to
accumulate around the intakes SO the
supply would be cut off, and then they
intended to strike, demanding the re-
moval of Mckee, who they claim treated
them badly.
Such a strike would have been most
disastrous, as the cold weather would
soon form mass of ice around the in
takes that nothing but dynamite or the
spring thaw could remove.
Captain William II. Dahl was appoint
ed in MoKee's place. When he, accom-
panied by other officials, arrived at the
crib and made known his mission, Dahl
asked the fifteen men who were at work
keeping the ice from the intakes to 60
with him. The men were not unanimous
in responding to the invitation and five
accompanied their late chief.
Officials of the water department deny
that there is any conspiracy to allow the
pipes to freeze up.

More Miners to Go Out in Sympathy
With the Saar District Men.
BERLIN, Jan. S.-Coal miners in the
Ruhr District will strike in sympathy
with the men in the Saar District. At a
meeting of the miners in Essen to-day a
resolution to strike tomorrow was passed
unanimously. The cause of the men and
the thousands they are likely to carry out
with them is desperate one. They are
totally unprepared for even days idle
ness. They are penniless and have no
hope of pecuniary help.
The Krupp works at Essen, whom the
men are especially anxious to iniure. are
safe from Inconvenience for several weeks s
at least, as i'll anticipation of trouble the
managers accumulated stock of 5000
tons of coal. Other iron works in the
same region are we'll supplied with coal,
and in view of the present slaekness of
trade are ready for the worst the miners
can do.
meeting of miners of all parts of
Westphalia was held in Bochun this after
noon, and strong resolutions in sympathy
with the Saar strikers passed almost with
out opposition, and the meeting decided
in favor of a general strike in support of
the Saar men to begin tomorrow.
ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP TRAIN.
COLOGNE, Jan. San attempt was made
this afternoon to blow up the Cologne ex-
press near Rauxel, A dynamite bomb
was placed on the track about three hum
dred yards from the station, but exploded
prematurely. The track was torn up for
some twenty yards, and buildings nearly
shaken from their foundations. 1t is be-
lieved the explosion was the first gun in
strike of coal miners, which is ex-
pected to begin here early this week.

Interest Centers on the Treatment of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Interest in the
proceedings of Congress this week CEN
ters in the prospective treatment of the
anti-options bill in the Senate. The bill
is now in a critical position, and it is the
judgment of large number of Senators
that it must be passed within a few days
or give way to other matters, as the pa
tience of the Senate is well nigh ex-
hausted.
The quarantine bill comes up again to-
morrow as special order, unless ad-
journment is caused by unforeseen
events, and may occupy two or three
days this week. So 1t may be that the
anti-options bill will not again be taken
up before Wednesday at the earliest, but
indications are that when it is taken up it
will be vigorous contest brought on by
efforts of friends of the bill to force it to
d vote.
The lMcGarrahan bill will fill in the
morning hour perhaps during the re-
mainder of the week, although it appears
that it is really approaching final vote.
McPherson's postponed speech on the
proposition to suspend silver bullion
purchases is set now for tomorrow.
The programme of the House for the
week has not been mapped out, and will
not be until tomorrow, when a number

gress is in session.

MIR. Huntington's Donation of a Hun

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Collis P. Hunt
ington, who built the Westchester library
and reading-room year and half ago,
has added to his gift 100000 in bonds
bearing per cent. interest, to be used in
any way the Trustees see tit.
Mr.. Huntington said last night: 81
purposely gave the money without re-
serVation, SO that the Trustees might be
guided entirely by what the good of the
library required. They are at liberty to
hold it as an endowment fund or to ex-
pend it in any other way. 1 have pre-
pared this building for all who may de-
sire to enjoy its advantages, and 1 have
given this additional sum of money so
that the library's sphere of usefulness
may be enlarged and perpetuated.
''In order TO get the best possible re-
suits from the employment of our time it
is necessary to have something in view
beyond getting money"
The library is handsome brick build
ing two stories high. 1t is 42 feet wide
and about 100 feet deep. There is already
good nucleus for large library and
desirable books are being bought from

OPPOSED TO SILVER.
Cleveland Thinks No More Should be
Purchased.

Purchased.
New YORK, Jan. S.-President-elect
Cleveland was kept very busy yesterday,
and it is generally supposed that silver oc-
cupied his time almost exclusively, for
Representative Harter of Ohio held his
attention for several hours, and although
he declined to be very communicative
after his interview with Cleveland, he said
enough to convince people that the new
President wants unity on the silver ques-
ton, and wants that unity against silver
general; that he desires the Sherman
bill to be repealed, and that the Gov
ernment absolutely cease buying sill
yer; that he is opposed to any
compromise so far asRreviving the Bland
bill is concerned, and he does not think
there should even be an enactment for
the purchase of 100000 ounces a month.
1t is time, as Mr.. Cleveland's friends
believe, to stop the purchase of silver
altogether. MIR. Cleveland granted
gracious audiences to General Patrick
Collins of Massachusetts and ex-Repre-
sentative Russell of the same State.
The Herald mentions among the Cabi-
net possibilities from California, White,
Foote, Irish and Geary. These are
simply possibilities among hundreds OF
others, and some are very remote.

How Chinese Hope to Evade the Ex-

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s. - A clever
scheme of Cinnamon to evade the Chi
nese Registration Act has been dis
covered by Government detectives in
this city. The act requires the Chinese
to have their picture taken and file
them at the Office of the Interanal Rev
enue Collector. The Philadelphia
Cinnamon have been talsing lessons
in photography and in the art eff using a
preparation that will cause photographs
TO grow dim and fade in year Z When
the Registration Act goes into fosse next
May the Chinese of Philadelphia VIII have
an artistic countryman photograph them.
and after applying the fading preparation
to the picture it will be filed with Col
lector Brooks. Within year the picture
will be so dim that it will be almost up-
recognizable, and Collector Brooks will
be unable to tell whether man brought
before him is the original of photograph
in his possession or a recent importation
from China.
1t is said that the scheme has been
transmitted to the Chinese in all the large
cities of the country, and photography is
being zealously studied by Celestials of
an artistic inclination.
