FniBustering Against MT. BANDS Silver
seigniOrage Bin.

helEhiofAEe Dill
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.--Mr. Bland yes
terday began his coercive tactics TO compel
a vote on the silver seigniorage bill. The
bulk of the Republicans and the Demo
cratic opponents of the measure inaugu-
rated a filibuster with the intention of
forcing him to produce a quorum of the
advocates of the bill TO pass it, and the en-
tire day was consumed in roll calls. The
highest number of votes Mr. Blatd was
able to poll was 1863 in favor of his demand
for the previous question on the motion to
close debate. Ofthese 145 were Democrats,
nine Populists and nine Republicans. Mr..
Page, of Rhode Island, and Mr.. Ryan, OF
New York, refused TO join the hlibusters,
but voted against the motion. The Repub-
licans who voted with Mr.. Bland were;
Bowers Cali, Broderick, Doolittle, Fun
ston, Marsh, Hermann, Post and Sweet,
After passing a resolution instructing the
sergeant-at-arms to telegraph for absentees
a recess was taken until 8 O'clock The
general impression is that Mr.. Bland will
not be able TO secure quorum until Mon
day. AT an evening session, intended fol-
the consideration of pension bills, Mr.
Kilgore CreX. made the point Of no quo
rum, and no zion was taken.

DO YOUR DUTY.


The amount of money paid out here
by corporations since the country |
decided on a change in the national
political administration is less than
half what it was before and makes a |
serious difference in the business
affairs Of the town as we'll as a hard
strain to many of the woikingmen,
Business in all branches is feeling the
effects of falling of tue usual revenues.
1t is expected that next month viii
show even a greater reduction in tie
checks and no one can predict what is
in store for the future, but all hore for
a change in the tide of financial and
commercial devastation, ,alt lough hope
seems TO be iorlorn in the face Of the
free trade mob in Congress that seems
to be on ruin bent, with not AN element
strong enough to stem the tide. Iu
view of the acknowledged fact that
the tariff agitation is directly respon-
sible tor the crippled condition of tn
country, and these facts bas d on the
testimony Of the most trustwor' by
financiers of the country, isn't it well
to consider seriously the election which
will occur next Tuesday.
The right of free ballot is a glorious
American franchise in which every
man, be he high or low, Iich or poor,
has equal standing, and if proplrly eX.
ercised, has power mightier than the
greatest gun that was ever cast.
A change in the policy of American
affairs has been tried. We were prom
ised great benefits by that change and
we want every voter to ask himse il
he has realized any of the benefits Sc
promised. We also want to ask if you
are willing to try the new way still
further We hear you say no, empha
tlcally no. Then your duty as an
American citizen is plain for the bene
fit Of the country at large and injustice
yourself you must go to the polls
next Tuesday, the 10th of this month
aud make one X in the circle over tho
Republican column and you will b'
driving as big nail in the coffin of tn,
decentralization party at Washington
as any other voter no matter how
rich he is or how much influence n,
my have.
On election day every body is a bil
power ID an overw helmi ng majority
for the state and borough tickets will bt
an object lesson on the tariff thinkers
that may have the effect Of checking
further ruin.
We firmly believe that 100000 ma
jority for Galusha A. Grow is a posi-
bility if every Republican and Demo
crat who is willing to change back t
prosperous times viii turn GU
prom pity on election day and vote fol
his own best interests. 200,
900 Republican majority in Pennsyl
vania would be such batter.
ing ram against the fortress o
the Cleveland administration policl
that it would knock It into splin
tereens. 1t would serve notice ol
Pennsylvania Congressman that they
must choose quickly between admin
istration patronage and home interest
or their future polit ical careers will b

feet at Rio, and the Newark is now a fever
ship. Admiral Benham telegraphs that
he has sent her 20 Rio de la Plata. Only
one man is stricken, and it is not likely
to be as serious a matter as it would have

An Unknown Party Tries to Burn
House at Montgomery and Hui
Streets.

An Unknown Party Tries to Burn
House at Montgomery and Hull
Streets.
dastardly incendiary was attempted
at Montgomery and Hull streets yester-
day morning sometime between half past
one and o'clock
Mr. J. deYoung, who rents a room at
the house, was just coming home about
this hour. He had forgotten his latch
key and was unable to get in the front
door as all the occupants of the house
were asleep He went around to the rear
to get in through the marble yard of p.
Hagan, and, as he approached the fence,
saw a bright light. which led him to be-
lieve the occupants Of the house had
not all retired. He soon found out his
mistake, however, as the light came from
a blaze underneath the house which was
rapidly growing in size
When he reached it he found a pile Of
excelsior and light wood ablaze under the
house near the back door. This he
pulled out and then cut a hole in
the floor to put the fire out. The
occupants of the house were awakened,
and they soon succeeded in getting rid of
the fire without its having done much
damage except to burn a small hole
through the floor The matter was re-
ported to the police headquarters and De
tectives Bossell and Kayanaugh went to
make an investigation
1t was found that the fire was started
by pile of excelsior and light wood
which had been saturated with kerosene.
In the shed near the house is buggy, in
the bottom of which the finder was pre-
pared. Some scraps of excelsior and
lightwood saturated with kerosene,
which had not been used, were found,
and they were just like the stuff used to
start the flame.
The house is the property of an estate
owned in Griffin, of which Mr. Remshart
is the agent. II is rented to J. Dolten,
who rents out the rooms which he does
not use, and there are three other occu-
pants beside himself. 1t is a regular
finder box, and if it had caught good
there would have been no stopping
it until the whole structure was burned
down. The occupants were all sleeping
soundly at the time, and in case of such
fire they would have been for
tunate if they had all escaped with
their lives. There is no clew what
ever as to who could have done the
work. MIR. Dolten says that he has no
enemies that he knows OF that would
want TO take revenge on him in that way,
and the whole affair is a mystery. The
wood used was split in the yard back of
the house, and all the materials used by
the person who attempted to burn the
place were found in a barrel in the yard.

FIRE ON A SLEEPER.
Passengers on the F. @. and P. Train
Have Good Scare.

Have Good Scare.
When near Denmark, 5. c., yesterday
morning, between and o'clock, fire
was discovered on the savannah sleeper,
the Pullman 'Cydnus," on the rear of the
train, and for while there was quite a
little connection among the passengers
aboard.
The fire broke out on the front end of
the sleeper, and is supposed to have been
caused by a spark from the engine, which
was famed into a lame by the running of
the train. As soon as it was discovered
the train was stopped, the burning wood
work was cut away anu the ire was soon
put out. The porter had gone quietly
through the car after the fire was discov-
cred and notified the sleeping
passengers, many of whom did
not worry themselves about
clothes, but hustled out in their night
clothes in order 10 escape what some Of
them IN their sleepiness might have
believed promised 10 be another dincklev
disaster. FOR awhile there WAS consider
able furry and commOtion among them,
but their fears were soon luieJei. There
were several savannah people aboard,
some of whom were ladies. On account
of this fire the train arrived about two
hours late.

BARNUM & BAILEY NEXT.
The Greatest Show on Earth Here
Oct 10,

Barnum & Bailey will this season pre-
sent the show Of the age, an up-to date
institution, abreast Of the times, and
with no old-time features about it. ex-
cept the notable one OF the old-time talk
ing and singing clown, whose reappear-
ance in the ring will be hailed by many
as a novelty.
The circus this year is so much larger
and better than all previous ones that no
one would recognize it as the Greatest
Show on Earth. IL now contains, be-
sides three rings, two stages and a race
track separate big steel-barred arena
for the wild and domestic animal per
formers, veritable Midway, lined on
one side with the huts, tents, houses,
boats. canoes, weapons, instruments and
utensils of the strange and savage races
of people in the chronological congress,
and on the other side by the living peo-
PIE themselves. Behind and around these
again are all the animals in cages and at
one end of the walk big cage containing
the two Rorillas-Chiko and Johanna
those human-like giants.
The performances embody every kind
OF arenic entertainment. Sixteen cham
pion bareback riders of both sexes will
undoubtedly prove a revelation in eQues-
trian teats, while scores Of Rrialists of
Europe ana America Will display their
accomplishments in mid air. Cossacks
will strive with native horsemen in the
equestrian tournament, May pole dance,
and with high leaping and long-distance
jumping horses, while scores more of
athletes and acrobats will contest in
leaping and tumbliug tournaments. Giant
and pigmy animals, and curious animal
freaks, will also prove interesting OBJ ects
to our rural friends, and the children will
be delighted with the extent of the eye
feasts provided for them in the antics of
the clowns and the capers of the tiny
trained animals, birds and other crea-
lures.
The new street parade, too, will prove
a source Of pleasure and instruction to
the little folks, as it contains the repre-
sensations of all the rulers of the world,
the reigning kings, queens and emperors,
with their military escorts. national
music, and other interesting features.

Heart Disease Claimed Kim After
THREE Score and Six Years.
Mr. Edmund VI. Conner died suddenly
at his residence, No. 157 Castor street. at
u O'Clock last night, from heart failure
Death came almost without warning.
Mr.. Connor was in his usual health
during the day and up TO a short time be
fore he died He attended church at the
cathedral in the morning. Last night he
visited with friends until nearly II o'clock
and then retired. A few minutes before
midnight his wife was awakened
by his gasping for breath. He was then
and Dr. Weichselbaum was sent for. He
arrived in a few minutes but was unable
to do anything. II was seen at once that
the attack was fatal
Mr. Conner was G6 years old. He was
born in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia.
The most Of his life, however, was spent
in Savannah. For a long time he was in
the grocery business. After that he
established the book and stationery
store and news depot, which
he conducted up to the time Of his death
or years loss Of his eyeSlght prevented
him from attending to the business in
person, and it was looked after by his
daughters. There were few days, though
that he was not at his store.
He leaves a large family-a widow and
ten children, four sons and six daughters,
all Of whom are living in savannah, ex-
cept two, Mr.. +. NJ. ConnOr, Jr., and J.
A. Conner. who are in Houston, Tex.
They were telegraphed last night the
news of their fathers death. The funeral
viii not take place until they arrive,
which will probably be Wednesday.
Mr.. Common was known to almost every
one in Savannah. His long connection
with the book and stationery business
brought him into contact with the people,
and there were few who did not know
him by sight at least. He had sulered
for many years the loss Of his sight, and
though able to 20 ABOUT alone, he was
nearly always accompanied by some men,
