eLANp,s sEIeNloRAeE BILL.
1t Can Hardly BE Passed over the Presi-
dent,s Veto

It Can Hardly BE Passed Over the Presi-
dents Veto.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Representa-
tive Bland has consulted with his silver
associates of the house as to the chances
of passing the seigniorage bill over a
veto. He found most of the men who
had voted for the bill ready to endorse
again even against veto.
Whether he will make the move or
not is not yet certain, as the most radio al
essary two thirds vote to overcome the
and without this the move could be moth
ing more than protest.
The vote on the passage of the bill
was: Yeas 1888, nays 1873, and not vot-
ing, SO. The yea vote was secured only
after protracted struggle, during which
the house was without quorum much
of the time. 1t is believed to represent
almost the full strength of the bill.
To pass the measure over veto would
require 235 yea votes in full vote. But
as full house is never to be expected,
ed on as about the number who would
vote on the veto question.
With such membership, two-third
vote necessary to oyerturn the veto
would be 1913, or 80 more than Mr.. Bland
could command on the passage of his
bill. These 80 would have to be drawn
from the SO not voting on the passage of
the bill, as the original negative vote
could be relied upon to sustain the veto.
1t is conceded by the silver men that
they could not get the necessary 80, SO
that In any event the move to pass the
bill over the veto would be nothing more
than formality.

The 1896 Presidential contest is
already beginning to attract atten-
ton, from both parties. The Demo
Gratis will not lack for material to
select from. Already Vice, Presi-
dent Stevenson, of Illinois, is placed
at the head He is well known in
West Virginia, and no doubt the
votes of this State would be solid for
Mr.. Stevenson in convention. A
Washington correspondent recently
wrote:
"The chances are three to one that
Vice President Stevenson will be
the nominee for President of the
next Democratic convention" said a.
Senator who, however, insists on
preserving his incognito. al make
the prediction because he is the
strongest and tho most prominent
Democrat before the country to-day.
In the first place the pressure of the
South and West will be so great in
the next convention, owing to
CleTeland's course on the silver
question, that none but a Democrat
from one of the central Western
States can be nominated. Steven
son has a geographic advantage in
living in Illinois, a doubtful State,
and throughout the West and the
South is recognized as straight
out Democrat of the old school, who
has no sympathy for the new fang
led ideas in politics. His course
throughout has been singularly free
from entanglements with the poll
ties of the administration, and there
are few who do not believe that he
will find strong ally in Senator
Hill to declare himself on the Presi-
Dental question. The New York
Senator does not expect, to be able
to secure the nomination, and will
do what he can in the East for Ste
venson."

A successful method has for some
time past been in vogue in Germany
for introducing carbon into molten
metal bath. This is accomplished by
mixing pulverized anthracite and
lime water together and forming the
mass into briquettes under great pres
sure, these briquettes being then
brought into contact with the molten
metal. In this way exactly the de-
sired proportion of carbon for the
formation of steel of various tempers
and qualities can be impaired to the
converter. This method of recarbon-
izing is stated to cost only about one
sixth that of the ferro manganese
plan, but the most important advan-
tage claimed is the greater accuracy
and uniformity with which any re-
quired quality of steel may be pro-
duced, ranging all the way from the
hardest to,the very toughest sorts. It
is assumed that rails made according
to this system will have a life of some
35 to 40 years. York Sun.

WASHINGTON, March 81. = Specula-
ton is already afoat here as to who
will be Senator Colquitt's success
sor. His term would have expired
March 4, 1895, and quite a number of
open candidates were in the field, includ-
ing Judge Turner, the dean of the
Georgia delegation in congress, ex-
Speaker Guerard of the Georgia house of
representatives, lawyer of Macon and
the reputed author of the plank in the
Chicago platform, demanding the repeal
of the state bank tax; Mr. Bacon of Ma
con who made the race for the guberna-
torial nomination against Senator Cor
don, threeyear ago; Mr.. du Bignon, the
representative of the Plant railway sys-
tenn and Governor Northen. There has
also been a good deal of talk about
Speaker Crisp, who, however, has de-
clined all appeals to become an open
candidate. Mr.. Blount, the late Ha-
waiian commissioner, has likewise been
mentioned.

CHICAGO, March "a Reports received
from many points in the wheat growing
regions of the west and northwest are
such as to justify the statement that
winter wheat has been seriously dam
aged by the recent cold snap.
The crop is thought to have been dam
aged in western Kansas and Oklahoma,
though ray of hope is found in the fact
that the ground was dry. Central and
eastern Kansas are reported TO have es-
capped without serious loss.
Opinions on the Minnesota crop are
contradictory, but it is likely to suffer

den t1aw. Some farmers think that in
the absence OF alternate freezing and
thaWing the wheat has escaped damage.
1t is Thought that the Ohio crop was
not far enough advanced to be injured.
In eastern iand central Nebraska
wheat is believed to have suffered SCI
yeresy but farther north and west the
recent snowfall has protected the grow
ing plants.
Ii Is feared that Indiana wheat has
suffered CONSIDERABLE but If the cold has
not reached the roots, as is hop d, the
damage may not be as serious as feared.
a report from Sparta, Ills, says the
crop is badly damaged, in one locality to
the extent of 30 per cent.
1t is thought Michigan has escaped
without serious injury.
North and South Dakota are not lin

melting snow will benefit spring wheat.
In the former planting is backward, and
the acreage of spring wheat viii be one
third less than last year.

Sad. Suicide of Mrs. Jasper Moore, of
CIarksburg.

A,speciaI to the Wheeling Intezt-
qencer, from Clarksburg, gives the
following account of the suicide Of
Mrs. ]. Y. Moore, at that place, on
last Thursday.
The most shocking tragedy that
has happended in this section of the
State for years occurred to.day in
this city, it being the death by her
own hand of Mrs. Fanny Moore,
wife of Hon. Jasper Y. Moore, clerk
of the United States district court.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore returned from
Washington at II o'clock last night
and soon after retired. During the
night Mrs. Moore seemed very rest
less and said to her husband that
she believed she would go mad this
morning. She arose early and di-
rected a servant to go out and pro-
cure material for breakfast.
Soon after the servant returned
she was startled by shrieks from
Mr.. Moore. He had arisen about 8
O'Clock, and passing through his
sons room to the bath room was
Mortified to see Mrs. Moore sitting
on the floor dead, with her head
shot off above the eyes. She had
placed the butt of a shot gun in the
corner of the room, and having
pressed the muzzIe against her tenn
pie pulled the trigger with shoe
buttoner, and in an instant was
dead.
No one heard the report of the
gun, and the first intimation of the
awful deed was had when Mr..
Moore beheld the sickening sight.
The brain was thrown in all direc.
tions about the room, and there was
scarcely foot of ceiling to which
fragments did not adhere. ASIDE
from the terrible wound in her scull
she seemingly had not a bruise.
The news spread rapidly and in
an hour the whole town was talking
ing of the sad affair, for indeed to
Clarksburg this death of Mrs. Moore
is sad affair.
Known widely, she was loved by
all, and in homes throughout the
State her untimely end will be
mourned with genuine sorrow. 1t
is supposed that brooding over fam
lily cares had temporarily unbal-
anced her mind and thus caused
her TO take her own life. She and
her husband have lived happily to-
gether.
1t will be remembered that few
months ago Mrs. Moore's son Clar-
ence was married to the daughter of
Mr.. Mclaughlin, business manager
of the Philadelphia Times. 1t is
known that the union did not re-
suit happily, the bride having re-
turned to her home in Philadelphia
from Washington, where the couple
had taken up their residence. The
circumstances connected with the
affair have doubtless been the
source of much worry to Mrs.
Moore.

There seems now to be no doubt
of Mr.. Capehart's reorganization for
Congress. While all the other
aspirants for the nomination are
good men, the people do not think
this is the year they should be
nominated. There is no question
about Mr.. Capehart being able to
carry the District, if re-nominated,
by a majority equal to the one he
received at his last election This
is not believed as to any other man
who is a candidate for the nomina-
ton, and this feeling manifesting
itself throughout the District,
mutually concludes that Mr.. Cape
hart should be re-nominated by the
Democrats. Another thing, his
record has been good during his
two terms in Congress, and in all
his votes upon tariff and silver he
has been true to the platform upon
which he was nominated and to his
people whom he represents.

should originate in the house. 'That
objection might have had some force a
number of years ago. In fact, myself
held that view of the law until the su-
