BALTIMORE, MD, Jan. 5.-It Is re-
ported that the Seaboard Air Line Is ne
gotiating for the purchase of the MacoH

interests in both roads are owned by
Baltlmoreans. The Macon and Ncrtheril
vas sold October 18th last under decree
OF the United States Court at Macon
Ca, being bought in by Mr.. Alexander
Brown, representing the bondholders. Inc
sale has not been confirmed by the court
but there Is no doubt ii will be.
Mr.. Brown, who is chairman OF the
bondholders' committee. and Mr.. r. Cur.

conferences. Both gentlemen are absent
from the city at the present time. and no

WAITE'S PAIRING sHOT.
His Last Message to the Colorado Leg
fs1ature

DENVER, Jan. J.--(foyernor Waite, in
his final message yesterday to the Legis-
Iature, fifteen thousand words i'm length,
discussed all his peculiar theories about
imam q and other matters. He is still
in favor OF free silver. He said: 1T is
matter of congratuation that at the
last election the issues were so clearly
defined that the devil claimed his own,
and the traitors who had been so long
masouerading as silver Democrats and
Populists were compelled TO throw Oft
their disguise and openly cling to the
bosom OF the Republican party-a party
responsible before God and man for the
destruction OF our silver product, the de-
preston within the last sixteen months
Of all real and personal property in the
state Except money and money securi-
ties). TO less than one-half their former
value, and the loss OF employment to
thousands upon thousands OF silver
miners"
The Governor declared that during the
last year the President had sent troops
into Colorado and Illinois, in violation
of the Constitution. ana recommended the
Assembly to "memorialiZe Congress to
solemnly protest against the usurpatious
OF the United States courts and United
states marshals. who. with the aid and
consent Of the GATED states Judges, nave
converted the United states court houses
into recruiting stations 10 enlist dcspcra-
does as deputy naarshals, without any re-
gard to their proper qualifications, but
simply for military purp1ses.'
In conclusion the Governor said. "a
brief two years ago a Democratic nation
al administration arrogantly assumed
power in All the departments Of the Cow
eminent. To-day that administration lies
crushed and bleeding. Its success con-
tanned all the clements of its swift de-
slruction. for the money power which
controlled the party prevented any relief
10 the people. and so the Republican par
ty controlled by the same relentless pow
er, can grant no relief-no substantial
prosperity-and would not IL IL could.

FATE OF The CARLISLE BILL.
1 Division Of Opinion as to Whether II
Viii Pass the House.
The VOTE TO BE- TAKEN THIS WEEK.
The Debate in ths Houso Goes Merrily
on-Mr. COCHRAN Gives HE Financial
visws-Other Speakers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--Speaker Crisp
said at late hour this afternoon that
a vote would be taken on the banking
bill next week. and the expectation IS
that 1t will not be delayed longer than
Thursday or Friday, at latest.
There is considerable speculation re-
garding the fate OF the measure. MIR.
Springer, of Illinois, and Mr.. warner, OF
New York, who are two Of its staunch
supporters, believe that it will carry.
Other gentlemen, however insist that II
will be beaten. Those who argue thus are
Inimical 10 the measure, but in some cases
even these will vote for it. Generally
speaking, the eastern Democrats, with
few exceptions. will oppose the BILL as
will also the extreme silver men, the
Populists and Republicans. 1t is believed
that if the Republicans are out IN fuii
force on the day the vote is taken, the
bill will be defeated.
Mr.. Sperry, of Connecticut, is not satis-
fled with the measure. although his orig
inaI objections have been neutraliZed by
certain amendments at his SUGGESTION
lie says he does not like IL even now,
and has not as yet decided what his attl-
tude toward it will be. but that. in all
probability, he will vote Tor It.
Represen Tracey, of New YORK,
is another eastern Democrat who has not
as yet reached a conclusion regarding IFS
merits. The number of these gentlemen
who are uncertain as TO their vote IS
very considerable. They are i'm many
cases, however, strong Administration
men, and are likely in the end to give
the bill their approval from a dislike OF
antagonizing a measure prepared by the
Presidents Secretary of the Treasury.
II is understood that at the Democratic
caucus next Monday Afternoon NUMBER
of short speeches will be made IN oppo-
sition 10 the bill by gentlemen who nave
declined TO take that position regarding
IL i'm the House.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-A cable special
from London TO the Herald, says: Your
correspondent is Informed, on the best
authority, that orders have been received
at the Portsmouth dock yard to fit out
for sea, without delay, six war ships. IL
Is accepted as the opinion in such inner
naval circles here as are acquainted with
the significant fact that the immediate
destination OF these vessels is the China
seas. This appears to bear out in a soms-
what remarkable manner the forecast, as
