THE RIVAL CANDIDATES.

liam J. Sewell of Camden, who is promi- nently identified with tho Pennsylvania Railway company, and Franklin Mur- phy are the most prominent candidates. The election of senator makes the meet ing of unusual importance and hundreds of the friends of the two candidates have assembled in Tronton.
 The legislature is largely Republican. In the senate there are Is Republicans and Democrats, and in the assembly there are 54 Republicans and Democrats. The Republican majority, therefore. is II in the senate, 4S in the assembly and 59 on joint ballot. The very large Republican majority makes 1t evident that the Demo. crats can have little influence.
 The house of representatives in caucus last night unanimously decided upon ex- Judge Cross of Union for speaker. Ex- Assemblyman Parker of Passaio was chosen clerk by 38 to Is over James F. Logan. Assemblyman Storrs of Essex was made chairman of the caucus. which carries with 1t the Republican leadership. All the rest of last years officers were TO- elected, with the exception of Assistant Ser9eant-at-arms Berry, who is succeeded by Daniel J. Hunt of Essex, and Assistant Engrossing Clerk Truax of Camden, who is succeeded by R. Starr Kceler, also of Camden N

A Burning Mountain.

At Wingen, in New South Wales, about 200 miles from Sydney, is burn. ing mountain, one of the most remark able sights to be seen in Australia It is 1, s20 feet in height and is supposed to be large coal seam which has in some unaccountable way become ignited and has been burning for many years, cer- tainly long before the advent of the white man in this portion of the colony. The course of the fire can be traced a considerable distance by the numerous depressions or chasms occasioned by the falling in of the ground from beneath which tho coal has been consumed. Smoke is continually issuing from the sides of tho mountain, and in the vicin- ity of these openings the surface is hot and has a dry, parched appearance, while sticks thrust into these openings are very readily ignited.-Indianapolis News

Proceedings of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Both houses of congress reassembled. In the house the debate of the currency bill was resumed. In the senate the Nicaraguan canal bill discussion was continued.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senator Lodge brought up the Hawaiian question in the senate, and an interesting debate followed. In the house the currency debate con- tinued.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Further debate on MT. Lodges resolution asking for in- formation why the American ships had been withdrawn from Hawaiian waters took place in the senate. MT. Palmer (Dem., Ills.) delivered speech against the resolution, regarding 1t as an invasion by the senate of the powers of the president.
 The day closed with eulogies on the late Alfred H. Colquitt of Georgia.
 It was the last day of the general debate on the currency bill in the house. and the opponents of the measure had their in nings. All the speakers except Repre- sentative Cox (Tenn.) antagonized 1t. The feature of the day was the speech of MT. Sibley (Dem., Pa. ), who made an at- tack on the president and arraigned the Democratic party generally for drifting away from its traditional moorings.
 His speech seated much confusion and . good deal of a sensation. Tom Johnson (O.) also created stir.
 Mir. Sibley used language in his speech that was both picturesque and forcible He said in part:
 "If ever a rebuke was needed to one who has attempted to trample down the perog, atives of the people, it is needed for him who has attempted to usurp this entire government to himself. The time has come when there should be moro than brains, belly and brass to this govern ment.
 Then he referred to the president as George III and said it had been given out that any one who voted against this bill would incur the displeasure of the king Four days after the repeal of the Sherman ] act mamb bers had told him tbat they hst

BREAD RIOT IN ST. JOHNS,

Unemployed Workmen Break Into and
 Loot Scores.
 ST. JoHN's, N. F., Jan. 9.-A serious riot occurred here. The crowd of unemployed workingmen who paraded the streets Monday and later visited the captain of the warship Tourmaline and made state ment to him as to their condition. de- manding work or bread, resumed their demonstration. The crowd. largely in creased in numbers met before the legis- lative building and hooted ex-Premier Sir William Whiteway, who was formerly their idol
 Hoping to pacify them, Prime Minister Greene appeared and addressed them. He promised that in two or three days exten- sive public works would be commenced sufficient to give all remunerative employ ment through the winter.
 His listeners refused to be satisfied with his promises and demanded that immedi- ate relief be furnished them. When they were told that 1t was impossible to acoe1e to this demand. the leaders of the crowd held short conference, and 1t was decid- ed to attack the stores on Water street. where large quantities of provisions were supposed to be kept.
 The first place attacked was Duder's The place was soon broken open, but the mob was disappointed in finding no pro visions there. Then attention was turned to Steers stores, which were quickly. loot cd of their provisions.
 At this point armed police interfered, and the mob was driven back at the point of the bsyonet. Four men - Bussey. Brown, Coady and King, the promoters of tho riot-were arrested.

Indorsed In Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-By vote of S1 to 59 the Democratic house caucus voted to indorse the Carlisle substitute currency bill now before the house. Speaker Crisp took the lead in presenting the resolution and in vigorously urging the necessity of its adoption. The committee on rules was instructed to bring in a rule today to close the debate Efforts to amend Mir Crisp's resolution were voted down, one of the adverse votes showing only l3 mem bers of the caucus favorable to an issue of bonds to retire grecnbacks
 The result of the caucus is accepted with considerable apprehension by friends of the bill notwithstanding the passage of the resolution of indorsemept
 Tho 81 votes which the measure com manded in caucus is far short of the num- Der necessary to pass 1t in the house. It Is the belief, however, that many of the 59 votes recorded against the resolution will be changed, now that the Carlisle bill has the prestige of caucus indorsement But there were several prominent leaders who asserted at the close of the caucus that the vote showed oonclusively that the bull could not pass.

Royal Yacht Squadron Agrees to Conditions,
 and There VIII Be Race.
 LONDON. Jan. S.--At meeting of the Royal Yacht squadron presided over by the Prince of Wales 1t was decided to make another attempt to win back the Ameri- cas- cup. Soon after the meeting was formally opened the cable messages and letters of Commodore Smith were formal ly read, and after a brief discussion it was soon seen that the sense of the meeting was to accept the conditions of the New York Yacht club and make all the ar engagements necessary for a race
 This desire for contest was hardly ex- pressed when a favorable decision was ar rived at. It was to the effect that the Royal Yacht squadron considers, in view of the meaning attached to the mutual agreement" clause by the New York Yacht club that the form of the receipt for the cup in the event of an English yacht win ming 1t specified in the deed of gift of 1887 is not ob iectionable.

THREE YEARS OLD.

What is 1t like. wonder, to roam
 Down through the tall grass hidden quite To feel very far away from home
 When tho dear house Is out of sight2 To want to play with the broken moon In the star garden of the skies2 To sleep through twilight eyes of June Beneath the sound of lullabys2 To hold up hurts for all to seeY
 Sob at imaginary harmsp To clasp in welcome a fathers knee
 And fit so well to a mothers arms2 To have lifo bounded by one dull road, wood and a pond, and to feel no lackf To gaze with pleasure upon toad
 And carees a mud turtles horny backf To follow the robins cheerful hop,
 With all the salt small hands can hold, And coaxingly entreat it to stop
 What is it like to be three years oldf Ahl once knew, but twas long ago try to recall it in vain, in vainl- And now know shall never know
 What it is to be a child again. -Ethelwyn Wetherald in Youths Companion
