WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE ?

Representations on the Result OF the
Great Parliamentary Struggle at the
National Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-As the day
for the vote In the House draws near,
speculation as to the time the Senate
will go down to a vote increases.
The prevailing Impression is that the
Wilson bill will be passed in the House
next Monday and sent TO the Senate. It
will be promptly pigeon-holed and the
Senate will go on discussing silver for
two weeks, perhaps longer.
The vote will then be taken on the
Voorhees, repeal bill with its declaration
in favor of bi metallism and then the
conference committees of the two houses
will get together and endesvor to frame
a law that will pass both houses. Octo-
Der 1 is set down by the best informed
ones as the date on which the labors OF
both houses will have ended.
The Sherman law will doubtless be
repealed after assurance of future Leg
islation favorable to silver and with a
sort of declaration by Congress for an
international conference

THE''PORTER SMASH-UP.
Coroner Begins an Investiga-
tion of the Accident.
wHATcAUsED wHEATLEY's DEATH

Coroner's Jury Hears Part Of the Evil
dence-AdJourns Until Monday Night
to Hear Engineer Grubb's story.
The inquest on the body Of Fireman
William Wheatley, who was killed on
Wednesday morning in a collision at
Porter's, was begun yesterday afternoon
by Coroner Kirk.
The first important witness who
testified WAS Richard Harrison, engineer
Of the freight train. He said that he
had stopped the train at Porter's for
orders, as the 'red" was against him. He
got orders to back onto siding and al.
low the express TO 60 by. Because a
train was standing on the siding the
freight was delayed few minutes until
the other freight pulled of the track
The freight was backing when the ex.
press train dashed into IT,
The fagman should have gone back
900 yards. put two torpedoes on the
track and swung the red lantern.
Nothing could have prevented the acci.
dent, Harrison believed, except the
aagman, who should not have come In
until he was given the signal of four
blasts of the whistle. The lexpyess
struck two or three cars back of the
freight engine.
Conductor Phillip Jones, Of the freight
train, stated that the train stopped at
Porter's and got orders TO back Fon the
siding to allow the express train to
pass. The hagman got off and went
back to signal the approaching rain.
81 saw him get of the train with q red
lantern and start up the track, Jones
continued. 81 have not seen the fiagman
since except once and that was about al
hour after the collision. He said he
thought the train was clear Of the main
line II think II he had done his duty ther,
would have been no collision. He came
in of his own accord. The express coul,
not have been signaled
Eugene Meredith, the middle brake
man, Thought that If the fagman had gon,
back and tagged the train the collision
would not have happened. He saw tn
fagman Immediately after the accident
He was coming down the track carrying
a red lantern but he has not seen hin
since.
Conductor Thomas b Lewis, of the ex
press train, testified that he did not hea
any torpedoes explode before the aeci
dent. He saw the fagman Of the freigb
train after the accident.
after had gotten of my train, h
continued, 81 started for the station an
saw red lantern sitting in the middl
Of the train. picked it up and carrie
it short distance and set it dow
again. Tho freight hagman came u
shortly and carried It away. / hay

The inquest was then adjourned unit
next Monday night when the evidenc
Of James A. Grub, engineer OF th
express train, VIII be heard. Georp

SOME UNHAPPY PEACH GROWERS.

The Farmers Have All the Trouble of
Picking, Hauling and ICuItivating the
Orchards-They Declare They Are Being
Robbed.
The railroads failed to haul the fruit
off this Peninsula on Tuesday and We'd
desday last, and by its Generalization
the growers have lost thousands of dol
lars. Words cannot convey an idea of
the sea of lucsiousIfruit that stood in
baskets at the Milford depot until it
rotted on those days
Only an artist or a photograph would
tell the story Thirty car loads were
shipped on Tuesday and enough fruit
was left to fill ten cars. Only seven
cars were sent on Wednesday-all the
Pennsylvania railroad could send-while
100 wagons loaded with 80, 900 askets of
the finest pesches every grown in any
country stood awaiting cars to unload
into--but they never came.
On Wednesday night after the most
trying day to peach growers, buyers and
shippers ever experienced in Delaware,
| the heavy rain and wind storm came
and no there is not one tenth of the
peaches on the trees that were there at
sunset on Wednesday evening.
Trees were levelled to the grounds in
countless numbers and those left stand
ing were stripped Of their foliage and
their fruit Thousands upon thousands
of baskets Of peaches have softened and
rotted upon the wagons as tNey stood
for hours at the stations awaiting the
arrival of cars which ths railroad agent
promised would arrive almost hourly.
Not car was on hand in which to
load peach on Wednesday up to .
o'clock in the evening. At this hour
twenty cars came from the North and
were at once assigned to the different
agents, about one for every
three they had ordered. In two
hours, during the heavy rair
and wind storm, these cars wer'
packed with the fruit from thel hundred
or more big wagons which had stool
from daylight around the station await
ing the arrival of the cars. II was
most trying time, iadeed, to all con
cerned. There is something wrong il
the management of the Delaware rail
road and branches, says the Milfor
Chronicle.

BIG DAY IN WASHINGTON.
Closing Scenes of the Great
Parliamentary Contest.
ozAR REED BEGINS THE wINDUP

And the Leading Lights of the House
of Representatives win Now Be
Heard From I'm Short Speeches.
Reed Says the Path of Duty is I'm
conditional Repeal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The feature
of the closing debate in the house to-day
was the speech of Thomas B. Reed. of
Maine. leader of the Repu blican forces.
Mr.. Reeds well known record Of attack
ing the Democracy on every occasion
presented and his biting sarcasm on
those occasions together with his ability
as an orator served to draw big
audience to day.
As expected, he attacked the Demo
Gratis, who laughed at his charges that
the panic was the result OF loss of con.
fdence in the Democracy. The under.
lying cause of the past depression he
said, was that''the system of protection
was threatened. Nobody knew, the
Democrats even, didn't know, what
the Democrats would do with
the tariff, but the system that
had been established for thirty
years was in danger and that was enough
to frighten anybody. The people last
fall had been apathetic and conse.
quently the Democrats have squeezed in.
There had not been clear discussion on
the issues and the people had voted with
out due deliberation.
A reform of the tariff was in the
hands of its friends. Business would
not now be in its present distressed
state But it was otherwise, and hence
no manufacturer will produce more
goods than he can Immediately dispose
of until he knows the basis upon which
he must compete The undiscovered
uncertainty" Of .the future was check
upon all industry at present However,
he thought the Democrats dared not go
too far, as there was a limit to the peo-
pies patience.
While the responsibility of the present
situation was upon the Democracy the
party in power could always rely upon
Republican aid in enacting sound fnan-
cial and other good laws for the benefit
of the country. II was time the Demo-
Gratis stopped disputing about their
party platforms and did something for
the people
Although favoring repeal Mr.. Reed
said he didn't think the Sherman law,
the immediate cause of all the trouble.
The people so regarded it however.
and he would therefore vote to wipe out
the law. The path of duty was uncondi-
tional repeal. Mr.. Reed denounced the
charge that the law of 1878 was
enacted by trick. He paid
high tribute to the bankers of the
country, whose action in the present
crisis had been eminently patriotic
He closed by predicting that the
Republican party, ever the party of
sound finance, would soon be returned
to power with all its ancient glory and
honor, unsullied by defeat.
