Madamc,s sIlken Petticoat.

The silken petticoat has become an article of artistic elegance, made of rich brocades and moire silks, and trimmed with lace-covered ruffies and hounces of chiffon, aad is almost as im- portant an item of dress as the gown which is worn over it. A very dainty skirt is made of black and white striped silk with a flounce of yellow satin at the bottom, over which is plaited silk muslin ruffle edged with narrow black guipure, and headed with black inser- tion and ruche of muslin. White satin and white chiffon is the ideal combina, tion for bridal petticoat.

ANOTHER SILVER STRUGGLE.
hr. Bland Wants to Get His silver
SeigniOraEe Coinage Bill Up.

Another struggle over silver was COM
menced in the House yesterday afternoon.
Immediately after the clearing away of the
Hawaiian matters Mr.. Bland reported his
silver coinage bill and moved that the

the point, explaining that the purpose of the
opposition to considering the bill would be
subserved by voting against the motion TO
go into committee of the whole.
The motion to go into committee of the
whole was lost for lack of a quorum-16O-1
Some of the eastern democrats Joined the
great bulk of the republicans and refused to
vote. On motion of Mr.. Bland a call of the
House was ordered.
The call developed the presence of 245
members. Proceedings under the call were
dispensed with and Mr.. Coombs IN. W
without division, the vote required upon Mr.
Bland's motion to go into committee of the
whole.
Roll call followed roll call in quick sue

fact that members were slipping away. But
at last Mr.. Bland was successful I'm passing
a resolution revoking all leaves of absence
and iustructing the sergeant-at-arms to take

SAW A SEA SERPENT.
1t Was Eighty Feet Long and Looked
Like a Big Eel.

A well authenticated serpent story
was related yesterday by Carlisle w. Davis
of Leadenhall street, London, who has just
arrived at Philadelphia.
II was a passenger on the steamship
Umfuli, which left Southampton December
20, bound to Natal, South Africa. The ves-
sci was brand new and belongs to Messrs.
Bullard, King & Co. of London. She is
commanded by Capt. Cringle, and beside
myself there were about $50 other passen-
gers, few of them being British officers
sent out to take the place of the killed and
disabled in the Matabele war. We had a
very pleasant trip after getting clear of the
Bay of Biscay.
"On the morning after Christmas day,
when about 300 miles north of Cape de
Verde Isles, or, to speak more correctly,
in latitude % north. longitude 1S west, at
about $50 pm. the outlook shouted.
there's a wreck or something on the
weather bow, sir!' Chief Officer c. A: Pow
ell, who was on the bridge, brought his
binoculars to bear on it, and after a good
ook, quietly ordered one of the boys to call
the captain. at the same time heading the
steamer up toward the object. By this
time the decks were crowded, the news
having spread throughout the ship.
"As we got nearer, the huge thing, which
we at first mistook for a sick or wounded
whale, raised It's neaU out OF water anu
opened its mouth. Its head was like a
huge conger eel, the teeth were distinctly
seen and the white gums. The color of the
ack of the neck was dull greenish brown,
with white underneath. Suddenly the head
dved down and the back came up, round,
Shiny and bigger than a rum puncheon.
The creature had fins apparently about
twenty feet apart, and its length was vari-
ously estimated at from eighty to one hun
dred feet, measuring 1t by comparison with
fwpnty-fOOt quarter boats.
THE thing kept a parallel course with
the steamer. and. although we were going
seventeen knots easily kept ahead Of us.
Capt Cringle ordered Mr.. Powell to get
one Of the six-pounders loaded. The gun
was loaded, aimed and fired, but the eleva-
ton was a little too great and the shell
burst in the water about 300 yards on the
other side of the fish or snake or whatever
it was Directly the shell exploded the ser
pent swerved and crossed our bows at a
tremendous rate, finally disappearing be-
meath the surface.
Now, this is not a mere sailors yarn.
but a well-attested piece of scientific in
formation. Extracts from the Cmfulfs log
have been sent to the Royal Geological
Society of London, together with sketches
from passengers which will appear in the
