And a Report of the Finance
 Committee of the Senate
ON THE VOORHEES, BILL
Will Be Had-JoneS of Nevada on Hand-CommentS
 on It's Passage.

WAsHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Senator Jones of Nevada reached Washington this morn- ing rather unexpectedly, and went to the the capitol at 1 o'clock. His presence breaks the tie in the finance committee, and will enable that committee to report the Voorhees bill with an unlimited coinage of silver attachment. No special meeting of the committee has, however. been called.
 This afternoon Mir. McPh erson, demo- crat, of New Jersey, sought to make a mo- ton to discharge the finance committee from the further consideration of Mr., Sherman's bill, which providss tempo rary relief for the treasury, but it's preseuta- tion at that time was out of order and ob- iectedto. It is not known whether the return of Mir. Jones had anything to do with the action of MT. McPherson, but the two coming as they did caused some com ment.
 The democratic members of the house concede that if the republicans as a whole give their support to the administration banking bill as it has been amended in committee it will pass.
 Mir. Cox of Tennessee, who is one of the democratic mem bers of the banking and currency committee, will generally oppose it. There will be DO minority report, but, agreeable to the understanding when the committee adjourned yesterday, every member of the committee will be free to take any attitude regarding the measure he may choose. Mr. Cox thinks, however, that if any considerable number of repub- licans vote in the negative the bill will be defeated.
 An imperfect poll of the house this morn- ing would indicate that the bill as it will be reported from the committee tomorrow is likely to pass. Mir. Reed of Maine, who is the republican leader, has not decided yet what his course toward the measure will be, and has so informed such of the republicans as have spoken with him upon the subject. It is a fair presumption how ever, that the republicans generally will support the measure, and that 1t will re- ceive also fair share of democratic votes as well.
 The populists will oppose it unani- mously.
 MT. Springer, who will have the measure in charge, does not doubt that 1t will pass the house. He was told that the the republicans, with the exception of the few silver republicans, if it were amended in one or two particulars. He thinks the democratic members of the banking and currency committee who favored the ad- ministration bill will set their faces squarely against any additional amend- ments, and he does not believe that any will he adopted. In his judgment the bill will receive a very considerable democratic vote-a vote much larger than has yet been predicted. He thinks, too, that in it's present form it will be generally indorsed by the republicans. s-s+-,.s .iig.

An Alligator story.


"0f all the Inhabitants of the great
rivers of India the alligator is the
most formidable" said Captain L.
Il. Ballou, of London, England, at
the Laclede last evening, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. "While
| was stationed there several years
ago | saw a sight the thought of
which always causes shudder TO
creep over me. A lady near whore
| had lived sent little native boy
with a letter to a friend at some
little distance, with the request to
send reply. Being trust
worthy little fellow some surprise
was felt when he did not return after
a reasonable absence After wait
ing seveal hours with no sign of the
messenger, searching party, of
which | was member, was made up
to try and discover his whereabouts.
After securing the country for
some time we came to the river
bank, and a short distance away saw
a dead alligator lying on the shore
with its great jaws extended to their
utmost. On examining it to discov-
er the cause of SO strange an appear
ance we found 10 our horror that it
had devoured the missing boy, and
had attempted to swallow his head
whole. This, however, it was unable
to do, and had been suffocated in the
attempt. The boys head was still
covered by his turban. which, when
removed, disclosed the answer TO his
mistress letter which he was faith
fully bringing back. 1t was suppos-
ed that while attempting to swim the
river he had been seized by the alli-
gator, as those huge reptiles are very
clever in concealing themselves until
their victim is well within their
reach, and then bouncing on their
prey"
