THE CAUSE OF SILVER.
Bland's Substitute for the SGigni0rage
Bill Carried.
EXACTLY A QUORUM SECURED.
Provides for Coming all the Bullion in
the Treasury General Domestic
and Foreign News.
QUORUM SECURED.

WASHINGTON, March LIN the house,
after Cummings failed to get unanimous
consent for consideration of an appropri-
tion of $45 900 for reclaiming the wreck
of the Kearsarge, the voting on the
adoption of the special order to limit the
debate on the seigniorage bill to two
hours, pending at the close of yesterdays
session, came up. Exactly a quorum
voted and special order was adopted,
166 to 13, so the long struggle was ended
and vote on BANDS pet is assured.
Bland was recognized and offered SUBJ
stitute for the original bill.
The first section of the substitute is
identical with the first section of the
original bill, except the coinage is to
proceed as fast as possible instead of as
practicable. The substitute for the
second section is as follows:
CATER the coinage provided for in the
first section-the seigniorsge-the re-
mainder of the silver bullion purchased
in pursuance of the act of July IA, 1890,
shall be coined into legal tender stand
ard silver dollars as fast as possible, and
the coin shall be held for redemption of
the treasury notes issued against such
bullion. AS fast as the bullion shall be
coined for the redemption of said notes
they shall not be reissued, but shall be
Cancelled in amounts equal to the coin
held derived from the coinage herein
provided for, and silver certificates shall
be issued on such coin in the manner
now provided by law; provided, this act
shall not be construed to change the ex-
listing law relating to legal tender char
acter or mode of redemption of existing
treasury notes under the act of 1890. !"
A sufficient sum is appropriated to carry
into effect the provisions of the act.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Bland's SUBJ
stitute for the seigniorage bill was car
ried. III to 96.

"GREArEK NEW YORK" BILL.
Governor Flower is Proud of Having
Signed 1t.


Signed 1t.
New YoRK, March 1.-After signing
the s'greater New York; bill, Governor
Flower said: 'This act is one of the
most gratifying in my whole career.
Greater New York has been one of the
dreams of my life, and I certainly ap-
preciate the privilege of doing what I
can to begin the work of consolidation.
have from the day the project was
suggested let it be understood that was
cordially in favor of it. In my last mes
sage recommended just such a bill.
New York, Brooklyn, Long Island City
and the adjacent cities and towns are
and have been for years practically one.
It has been wonder to me they were
not consolidated into one grand munich
pality long ago. Only the North and
East rivers divide the territory which
it is proposed to annex, and would not
be astonished if sooner or later Jersey
City and Newark were knocking at the
door for admitance. 1 tell you, gentle
men, New York began to lose prestige
when she lost the worlds fair. Chicago
won hers when she captured that fair. I
fully realized when in congress what the
fair meant to New York. I therefore
worked as hard as I could to secure it..
Since it went away from us, Chicago and
not New York has been making the
strides we hoped our own city would
make. Chicago has been taking in all
the surrounding territory and unless we
hurry she, and not New York, will be
regarded as the chief city of the
republic. We shall not have to annex
prairies or vacant lots to keep ahead of
our most dangerous rival. We have but
to reach out our hand and pluck splendid
cities and towns. Really, I hope to join
with you in forming the greatest munic-
ipality on earth. Consolidation may
increase the price of real estate, but ex-
perience has demonstrated that with the
increase in the price of real estate the
tax rate becomes lower, SO I think. that
one of the great advantages of consolida-
ton will be a much lower tax rate not
only in New York but in all cities and
towns which come into the new city,"

WAS MS LAST EFFORT.
Nr. Gladstone Speaks in the House OF
Commons.

Commons.
LONDON, March L. Gladstone was
loudly cheered this afternoon, as he en-
tered the house of commons. The
speaker put the question that the house
of lords amendment to the local govern
ment bill be considered. Gladstone
rose and addressed the house in full
resonant voice, bearing slight huski-
ness, but with marvellous energy and
vigor. He said that the government
had felt the operation of sending and re-
sending the bill from one house to the
other had continued long enough. To
continue the process would be a loss of
dignity of both houses, and the govern
ment had decided to stop the operation
and take decided course. The govern
ment had the choice of the rejection of
the house of lords amendments, aban-
doning the hope of passing the bill, or
to accept them under protest, with a
hope of soon reversing them. The gov
ernment had adopted the latter course.
Gladstone continued:
''We have now reached the acute
stage. It appears the lords desire to
annihilate the whole work of the house
of commons. In regards to the present
bill, the government desires to save
something from the wreck, and there
fore accepted the amendments, but with
the declaration that the differences be-
tween the houses were not temporary or
casual. This state of things, am COM
PEELED to say, cannot continue. The
issue is raised between the assem- bly,
elected by the people and an assembly
occupied by many men of virtue and
talents of considerable variety. Once
raised they must go to issue. No doubt
there is a higher authority than the
house of commons, namely, the author
ity of nations, which must in the last
resort decide at once. When that judg-
ment is to be invited is a question which
Gladstone closed by asking the house to
accept the lords amendments.
Hon. A. J. Balfour, conservative lead
er, rose to reply. He said Gladstone g
speech was declaration against the
ancient constitution of the realm. He
asked why the government did not start
the agitation against the house OF lords
when the latter rejected the home rule
bill. That bill had convinced the
country that legislation must be con-
trolled by chamber which would not
betray them.
AT the conclusion of Balfour's speech
the amendments were agreed to, 27S to
81, and the house adjourned.
There was a state of feverish excite
ment throughout the debate, and the
strain was apparent in the faces of
Gladstone and other members of the
ministry. While Gladstone was talking
it was whispered on all sides that the
great liberal leader was making his last
speech to the commons. His delayed
attack on the lords delighted the radi-
Gals and Irish.

culties. owing to failing sight, deafness
and age, and told her majesty he could

days with the grip during its prevalence
year or two ago. Later in the season
he had second attack. He says: stIn
the latter case I used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy with considerable sue

over two days. The second attack I am
satisfied would have been equally as bad
as the first but for the use of the remedy"

THE iNDlsPENs ABLE ALLIGATOR
A Loss to Commerce for His Hide and to
Farmers for His Appetite.

Loss to Commerce for His Hide and to
Farmers for His Appetite.
The demand for alligator skins at
the north, where they are tanned and
made into valises, satchels, pocket
books, ETC., has caused them to be
hunted SO closely that it has almost re-
suited in their entire destruction. Be-
fore the demand arose for their hides
the bays and bayous of Louisiana were
full of the saurians, which did no par
ticular damage except in catching a
stray pig or cur dog, but otherwise
they were not supposed to be of any
value at all.
With the disappearance of the ALI
gator, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat, it was noticed that there
was marked increase in the number
of other mischievous animals; espe-
cially in the rice fields of Plaquemines
parish, the muskrat increased to an ex-
tent that it was almost impossible to
keep up the back levees, which were
built for the purpose of keeping the
water on the rice during the growing
season. The damage caused by the
TdIS DuFFOWlup through the eliiDaIlk-
ments necesSitated constant watchful-
ness and entailed much hard labor,
either in rebuilding them entire or dig
cling out the burrows and filing in
with solid earth. The rodents also in
fest the front levees, honeycombing
them in every direction, necessitating
constant attention to avert the dis
asstrous consequences resulting from
a crevasse.
Truck farmers in the lower part of
Plaquemines have also complained
that since the determination of the al
ligator the common rabbit, the raccoon
and other wild animals have increased
largely, and that the rabbit especially
has proved very destructive to cauli-
flower, cabbage and lettuce; in fact,
our informant said that if these ami
mails continued to increase he would be
compelled either to erect woven wire
fence around his truck farm or abandon
the culture of some of his most profita-
BILE vegetables. Several years since the
police jury of the parish of Plaque
mines passed an ordinance forbidding
the killing OF the alligator, and with
;he increase came a corresponding de-
crease in the number of destructive
yermin. We understand that the law
has since been repealed. For what
reason we do not know.

IN A HURRICANE.
Story of Queer Thing That Happened
in the East.

Story of Queer Thing That Happened
in the East.
A story comes by mail from the far
east and tells one more of the wonder
full things which happen to those who
have their homes on the great waters.
The story concerns the big four
masted iron ship Lucipara. She halls
from Glasgow, and recently made a
voyage from Sharpness to Sydney, N.
S. w. While sailing along between
the Cape of Good Hope and Australia,
the ship ran into hurricane, or was
ov. rtaken by one, about midnight.
Suddenly the sea, which had been dam
gerously high, became calm, and to
those on the ship it seemed as if the
surface of the ocean had been SUBJ
jected to an enormous pressure, by
which the waves were stilled. Without
warning the men were almost blinded
by sheet of fame, which enveloped
the ship from stem to stern, and
reached half way up the masts.
This wave of flame surged back and
forth, fore and aft, for few seconds,
and was then snuffed out as suddenly
as it had appeared, leaving captain
and crew cropping about in intense
darkness! The binding glare was ex-
tremely painful to the eyes, but caused
no damage either to the men or to the
ship. Capt. Witt said it was his first
experience of the kind, and he hoped
it would be the last.
