TACOMA. Oct. 2A--ESpecial The city
sinking fund commission had another
meeting yesterday In connection with tho
matter Of the c. n. Wright water bonds.
Isaac W. Anderson, Mr.. wright's local
agent. with power to act, was present. aud
the conference. according 70 report. WAS
as follows. Mr.. Anderson pressed for
the approval of Mr.. Wright's bond for
sl00.00A This is the one which was to
have been approved by the council im-
medtateiy on the return OF the mayor
and president Of the council from Phiia-
deiphia. lt is q personal one. and the
continued refusal of the council % ap.
prove Is has aggravated the existing diff
culties between Mr.. Wright and the city.
Mr. Anderson. so it IL reported. was dis
posed to insist on the approval of tho
bond as the condition of his proceeding
To q settlements of the present difficulties.
The bond was given in the original water
purchase for the purpose Of securing tho
city against shortages, etc.
Mr.. Anderson announced In unmss-
taxable terms his intention TO smash tho
mayor and bnard of public works unless
the Iong-suffering Mr.. Wright we're noe
given his full rights. He also announced
bis determination to make no payment on
the water extension bonds until this bond
is approved. What the commission re-
solved 10 do in the premises is not known.
but IL is pretty confidently predicted THAI
the council, with whom the ultimate dis
position of the matter rests. will refuse Ia
approve the bonds unless the lawyers in
the lawsuits between the city and Mr..
Wright advise that the city's interests
wall not be injured by such course TIE
commission made a proposition to Mr..
Anderson 70 approve the bond if he would
give the city bill OF sale of all the prop
erty seized in ''the gas house raid" and
the subsequent gas pipe raid" in which
S2s,o00 worth OF water piping was ss-
cured. Mr.. Anderson refused to do this.
blsing his refusal mainly on the latter
seizure. The city authorities and the
council, however. are resolved TO stand
firm upon the proposition that the results
OF both these raids" are the property OF
the people. The probability is that action

In the senate.

WAsHIssroS Crrr, Oct. 24.--In the sen-
ate Stewart Of Nevada resumed his arru-
ment against the repeal bill. Stewart, in
answer TO the charge that those who op-
posed the bill were thwarting the will Of
the majority, denied that such was the
case The filibustefs were not the silver
men. but the administration. It was fill
bustering against allowing the will of the
majority to be expressed. Ii had used the
most corrupt, most aggressive, most out
rageous means. secret at first. but public
now, 10 enslave the majority. LET the
administration take of its hand, and let
the majority express itself in the senate, -
he said, "and silver would have necrly two
to one."
Kyle tPopulist) of South Dakota moved
when the senate adjourned il be to meet at
noon tomorrow; defeated, 4 to Al.
Stewart then resumed his speech. and at
i:30. without concluding. yielded the floor
TO Jones of Nevada. who resumed his argu-
ment against the bill. Jones said he de-
sired dollar that could be kept at parity
with pound of cotton or q busbei of
wheat, and not with metal that was con-
stantly increasing in value.
Mcpherson (Democrat) of New ] ersey
thought that If gold had appreciated in
terest would have gone mp and labor gone
down. whereas United States bonds had
gone down from 5 to per cent, while
labor had gone up in Irregular increasing
ratios.
Jones replied that one of the highest
proofs of the increase in the value of
money was the decline in the rates of sn-
terest.
Jones at O'Clock, as he was tired.
yielded TO Stewart. Faulkner Democracy
of West Virginia. however. moved . recess
until Ii O'Clock tomorrow, and the motion
was agreed TO.

with that we would have little opportunity

Senator Allen of Nebraska talked about
the political effect in the West. In Ne
orasks. he said. it meant Populiss vic
tory. and that Senator Manderson would
be succeeded by third party man.
IL was supposed that Bryan would be
ready to go into the Populist party and
make the race against Henderson. Bryan
himself says he thinks the action
OF the senate or rather congress In
passing unconditional repeal will
strengthen silver Democrats He would
not say what he would do, but mentioned
the fact that Bland had warned Eastern
Democrats that they had reached the part
ing OF the ways. and he would see how
they would part. The silver men all say
very frankly that they prefer uncondi-
tional repeal TO any such compromise as
was agreed on among the Democrats last
