than those that now mark their pro
gramme of coercion.
When Senator Sherman rose to give his
views on the financial situation-the first
he has expressed in the Senate for some
time-there was buzz of expectation = :
interest. Sherman stepped forwa' ana
seemed to address himself particularly to
the Democratic side, emphasizing his re-
marks with frequent gestures.
eve have reached the point" said he
"where we are being told that no relief can
be given to the country until we have cor
ceded the free coinage OF silver" u be-
lieved such an absolute concession would
be greater disaster to the country than
any other course that could be adopted.
And yet the Senate was being brought face
to face with the alternative of taking free
silver or nothing If there was to be a
choice between the two coin standards,
then the Senator believed in taking the
one which was recognized the world over
as the best. He did not believe such
choice was imperative. He still believed
both metals could be used.
But / am bound to say" said Mr..
Sherman, " that the Finance Committee IS
utterly helpless. We are equally divided.
We can reach no agreement. We are not
able to report unless the concession Is made
to free silver" The people had plenty OF
money. They had now $500, 100000 IN
small savingsaain the savings banks. GIVE
the plain people, the laboring people, a
chance to meet this so-called urgency ana
they would supply the deficiency in two
days. He begged the Senate to unlock the
doors of the Finance Committee and en-
deavor to agree upon measure OF rehet.
Stewart declared that no real emergency
existed and that all the trouble was due TO
the administration discriminating In favor
OF gold against silver.
Hill said that the first duty of the Senate
was to ascertain what was wanted by
the administration. With that purpose
in view and in order that Congress could
stand fairly before the country
and the administration could deal
fairly with Congress and Congress
with it, he introduced resolution direct
ing the Secretary of the Treasury TO inform
the Senate whether it was necessary or desir-
able that legislation should be had author
izing the issue of bonds treasury notes OF
other securities to raise moneys for the
purpose of paying current deficiencies in
the revenues, and if SO the nature and
substantial details of such legislation
Hill desired the resolution to be considered
Immediately, but Allen (Populist} q
Nebraska objected and it went over until
tomorrow. This ended the discussion foI
the time and the Senate began the con
sideration of routine business. The Gre
dentials of Mr.. Wolcott (R.) of Colorado
for the term beginning March next were
presented. The Senate at 2 O'Clock went
into executive session, lasting until 4
O'Clock, when it adjourned.

Report has it that there was about 400
persons on the Elbe, 240 of whom were
passengers, 100 officers and crew ana a
number of cattlemen who were returning
to the United States.
The North German Lloyd steamer Elbe
was built in 1881 at Glasgow and was 4510
gross tonnage, 400 feet long, had 45-foot
beam and her depth of hold was 36 feet 6
inches. She was a four-masted screw
steamer.
The agent of the company mas employed
q steamer to proceed from Lowestoft to the
scene of the wreck and search for any OF
the survivors that may be ahoat. The
German Vice Consul has purchased a
quantity of clothing for the survivors and
has done everything in his power to re-
Eeve their distress.
The rescued are now at the Sailors Home
at Lowestoft, and at the Suffolk Hotel at
that place.
Mr.. Vevera of Cleveland, Ohio, was re-
turning home from visit to sick brother.
He was accompanied by his niece, whom
he fears was drowned. He tells of being
awakened by the collision and going upon
deck. The men on deck were getting
madly alarmed. Mr.. Vevera added: ''Some
of them tried to tear my life-beit from me.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A very animated
consideration of the financial question
took place in the Senate as soon as the SEES
sion opened to-day. Cullom of Illinois
presented a dispatch from all the leading
banks of Chicago urging that the Presi-
dents recommendations be carried out at
the earliest day possible. Vest followed
with a similar dispatch from the St. Louis
Chamber of Commerce. This was the text
for one of the most stirring scenes that the
Senate had heard in many days. Vest said
that the Chamber of Commerce of st.
Louis did not represent the feelings of the
people of Missouri or of the country on the
financial question. He did not believe the
people favored retirement of $500, 600
of greenbacks and treasury notes and the
substitution of no currency at all. He did

HIS HOUSE ON 4 TRACK.
An arizona Man Who Insists OBJ
sfrafcfilln q Railroad.


SoLoMoNvILLE, Ariz., Jan. 30.-F. Sulli-
van, the man who built a house on the
track of the ella Valley, Globe and
Northern Railway on Monday. is proving
very troublesome to the railroad company.
Yesterday District Attorney Jones pre-
ceded the train to Fort Sullivan and con-
vinced the eArrison that the " was
being yiolata and when the train
arrived. IL spite of Suiiivau's protests, tie
house or shanty was moved off the track
by the company's employees. 1t was
thought that this would end the difficulty,
but not so. This morning Sullivan ap-
peared before Justice Parks here to answer
to charge of placing distractions on the
railroad track, a grave offense under
Arizona statutes, but he pleaded for and
obtained continuance until Friday.
When the train arrived at Sullivan s
ranch this morning another house had
been reared on the track, and some fifteen
or twenty men were at work upon it. Sui
livan was there and forbid any one to touch
it. Sullivan's wife stands beside her hus-
band and both show that they are set in
their ways and are not to be discouraged.
Warrants were sworn out here this even
ing before Justice Parks for the arrest of
Sullivan, his wife, John Doe and Richard
Roe District Attorney Jones went away
this morning.
The officers went to the scene of action
on the train and arrested Sullivan and his
wife, when the trainmen proceeded to tear
down and remove the distractions. The
prisoners were brought here and will be
taken before Justice tomorrow. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether or not Sullivan
will again build on the track. People are
considerably excited over the controversy.
The general belief is that Sullivan was not
treated right by the company in going on
his land without his consent. The lawyers
agree that Sullivan Is violating the law in
placing distractions on the track.

CLERKS HEADS TO FALL.
There Viii Be Feeping and Wailing
Among attaches NOtC.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 3O.-There was weep
ing and wailing and crashing of teeth
among the supernumeraries about the
State Capitol to-day when it was heard
that the Retrenchment Committee was to
examine into the number of attaches abb
solutely- necessary. This. was increased
when subpenas were Served on the various
chief clerks, requiring them to be present
to testify before the committee. The ac-
ton of tonight was taken in executive
session. The committee, consisting of
Phelps (chairman), Spencer, Bennett,
Powers, Dunbar, Wade, Bachman, Cutter
and Reed, were all present. They are the
strongest men in the house, and to man
have up to date backed up every move for
lessening expenses.
Chief Clerk S. J. Duckworth was the
main witness called. He was first put
under oath to tell the whole truth and was
then closely questioned as to the number
of men working under him and their sala-
ries. The next questions were as to how
many were actually necessary to perform
the work and at what stages in the session
less men could be gotten along with. The
sergeant-at-arms was then put on the grid
iron. The committee was intent upon
frying all the fat out of the various offices,
and the cross examination by the different
members, most of whom are lawyers, was
severe in the extreme. The chief engross-
ing clerk and the chief enrolling clerk
were also brought up, and from them the
most satisfactory revelations were OBJ
tanned.
As a result of the investigation, SO far as
it has been conducted, it is estimated thst
the number of attaches of the Assembly
will be reduced at least fourth and per-
haps as much as third. The men to be
Topped off are the extra clerks, who do
nothing but draw their pay. The examin-
ing of witnesses will be concluded tonight
and the committee will then have material
for scorching report. This report will
recommend the passage of a bill fixing def
nitely the number of employees. An at
tempt will be made to have only the chief
clerks of the various departments and one
assistant for each appointed by the House.
The appointment of the rest up to a certain
maximum number will be left to the va
rious chiefs. This will prevent the whole
sale appointment of unnecessary clerks at
the beginning of the session which takes
up time that should be devoted to organi-
cation, and will also serve to lessen the ex-
pense bill of the first month materially.

ferred.
There are three bills which Mr.. Stratton
thinks necessary in order to have enough

After Solemn Mass Over an Empty Coffin
All Adjourn to Banquet.
An up to date disciple of Charles Y
of Spain has held at a village of the
Yonne department, in France, kind
of dress rehearsal of his funeral while
yet in the land of the living For the
past year gravediggers and masons had
been engaged in preparing the gentle
mans tomb, and he had surveyed the
work with loving care. When every
thing was ready, he had handsome
marble slab put up, with the date of
his birth and the list of his titles and
distinctions, winding up with the COM
forting assurance that he "had been a
good father and law abiding citizen"
inscribed thereon. On his ninety-fifth
birthday all his friends and acquaint-
ances were invited to the rehearsal Of
his funeral A solemn burial service
took place at the church, and his empty
coffin, placed under catafalque and
surrounded with wax candles, received
an anticipatory blessing. To cheer up
his guests, whom this lugubrious cere-
mony must have somewhat depressed,
he then babe them repair to his house,
where a grand banquet took place, at
which the beadle, the choristers and
the priests who are to oficiate at his
real funeral were present. Each guest
pledged his word in a bumper of cham
payne that if he were still living at the
time he would not fail to 'assist" at
the funeral ceremony Of which the re-
hearsal had just been gone through.
The real event may not come off yet
awhile, for this imitator of the famous
emperor is still quite hale and hearty
in spite of his 95 summers London
Telegraph.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
HERE'S TO soDAl

When the mercury has risen,
like to hear the fizzin
And love to hear the sizzin Of the soda
water mill.
Oh, there is music in its singin
And a mem'ry to it clingin
Which oftentimes is bringin thoughts that
lingsr with me still,
Thoughts of nectar and vanilla.
Strawberry and sarsaparilla,
Thoughts of soda that would fill a boy with
visions of delight,
And, though many years have aeeted
Since the juveniles l treated,
There's sentiment deep seated that good
soda's out of sight.
Let others pirate of whisky
That makes fellow frisky,
But alcohol is risky stuff to monkey with
at all.
Let stagestruck guys make merry
Over mugs OF Tom and Jerry,
Sing the praise of Ellen Terry, Miss Lang
try, Pauline Hall;
Let sapient dudes touch glasses
To the health of buxom lasses,
But soda quite surpasses ali the drinks that
make men tight.
It's beverage that's checrin,
Unpretentious appearin,
To humanity endearin-aye, it's clearly out
of sight.
