IN TEE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January Is
The reading % President Clevelaud's
message on the financial situation
formed the most Interesting feature Of
-day'S session Of the Senate. 1t was
presented shortly before noon, and there
was very promptly filing up Of empty
chairs. The Presidents views and
recommendations were listened TO with
close attention, and when the reading
of the message was concluded, 1t was
sent 10 the finance committee. Most OF
the day was taken up by bill diSap-
proving an agreement with the South
ern Ute Indians.
OPINIONS on THE MESSAGE.
Mr Strauss, Dem, New York, said:
"Ihe moment bill on the line Of the
Presidents recommendation has been
passed, not only will gold ship.
ments cease, but the TIDE OF gold
will turn the other way. Europe has
lost confidence 10 our ability to main
tain gold payments. They hold from
three 10 four thousand millions OF our
securities which they are selling as rap
idly as our markets will absorb them,
regardless OF the fact that they do not
know what 10 do with the money.
They would rather lose several
years interest than 10 receive back the
principal in fifty cent dollar. Unless
Congress acts promptly the President
will have 10 sell another nifty million
OF bonds at a rate less favorable TO the
government aud this will have to be
repeated at constantly diminishing pc
RODS aud less favorable rates"
SENATOR HILL PLEASED.
Senator Hin endorsed the message
without apparent reservation, saying:
"The President states the situation very
accurately; permanent as well as tenn
pOrary relief should be granted at once.
L trust there Is good sense aud patriot
ism enough In the present Congress not
10 refuse consideration of this subject.
The business interests Of the country
desire and demand action, and the
Democratic party cannot afford 10 an

Sinking Of Q Volcanic Island.

Falcon island, in the Pacific, is
sinking into the ocean, from whence
1t suddenly emerged In 1885, owing
to some tremendous outpour of ashes

Group. When the disturbance
ceased, the new island was 1880

A RECORD OF CRIME.

s'The epidemic of murder which has
broken out in many parts of the South is
appalling. In the Morning News of
Savannah Of August 18th. we find ten
murders reported, nine Of which occurred
in the South. In our own Florida, with
in two days during the past week, eight
murders were committed, most of them
being cold-blooded and premeditated.
The Times Union of August I'd gives the
names of eleven persons who were mur-
dered in Florida during the last two
weeks in July, and says that the record
of the two preceding weeks, If published,
would be no better. And if we are to be-
lieve the Times Democrat of New Orleans
the record of murders in Louisiana is not
better than that of Florida. This state
of affairs is ruinous and most humiliating
it is calculated to do more harm to
Florida and the South than the freeze
the yellow fever and storms combined
Serious men throughout this country and
Europe are asking where will this epi-
demic of murder and lawesSnesS end, and
what is the cause? The answer is not far
to seek: it is the inevitable harvest from
the seed of disregard of law and human

and have gone to work in earnest to cor
