THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
Will Not Advocate carliSIe Bill in Message BG.
May Call Extra Session Of 54th Congress.

Washington, Jan. S.-Some of the
Democratic members of the House whose
relations with the President are of II con
fidential character, stated, today, that
there is little probability of a special exc
cutivc message being sent to Congress
urging favorable action upon the Carlisle
banking bill
In conversation with certain congress
men, this morning the President expressed
a great desire that the bill shall pass and
become law but no intimatiOn was given
that a special message will be written
with the view to facilitating that result
The President is constrained to believe
that the opponents of the bill in the Demo-
cratic party will not be influenced by any
message he might send regarding the
matter.
1t is believed by those deep in his con-
fidcnce that the President will not hesitate
to call the 5lth Congress together immcdi-
atcly after the adjournment, March next
if some measure of financial relief is not
enacted at this session.
The President, it is said, believes Re
publican House would speedily pass a
measure of some character, and those
have interested themselves in the matter
say that the fact that the Republicans
might gain credit from the passage of such
a bill, would not influence him in the
slightest if he deems it advisable to call
an extra session.

DR.. H. H. CAMPBELL DEAD.
Was Oldest Practitioner and an Honored Cit.
izen Of WatcrviIIe.

Watervillc, Jan. 8. - (SpcciaD. DR..
Henry II. Campbell died at his home on
Center street. Tuesday morning about 6
O'Clock, aged "A years. He had been very
feeble since last spring and had only been
out of doors but once or twice since April,
and his death was not unexpected. Old
age and general wearing out Of the body
was the cause of his death.
He was born in Pennington in 1921
and was fitted for college at Bloomfield
academy in Skowcgan. He took his de
gree of NJ. ID. at Dartmouth and also at
the jefferson Medical College of Phiiadcl-
phia, after which he commenced the
practice of medicine at Fairfield Center
In 1886 or the following year, he went
to Europe and pursued the study of his
profession for year or more III the hospi-
tails of London Edinburgh and Paris,
gaining by so doing, u large amount of
medical knowledge for that time.
He came to Watervillc about 40 years
ago and continued in active practice here
up till last spring, when failing health
confined him to his home.
About the time of his coming to Water
vile he was married to Miss Julia A.
Tobcy of Fairfield, the ceremony taking
place at the home of the late Charles IL.
Thayer, now the residence of DIR. f. &.
Thayer, on Main street in this city. Two
children were the fruit Of this marriage, n
daughter, Mrs. Rev c. ID. Cram of
Damariscotta, and ~ son, George H., now
a student in the medical department OF
the University of Pennsylvania.
Though DIR. Campbell never held any
public office, it was because he did not
care for the honor choosing rather to de
vote his whole time and attention 60 his
profession Yet he was always held .ln
highest esteem by his fellow citizens, ana
was respected by all.
He was long Il prominent member OF
the Congregational church OF WatcrVille.
Charity was one Of his most commend
able virtues and many of his poor patients
have, after arising from some lonS-con-
tinucd illness, worrying as to how the
bills of the sickness were to be met, have
found some day recoiptcd bill for modi-
cal attendance or one greatly discounted
He was always just and honorable in
all his dealings and his death will be
mourncd by many outside of the circle
of family and relatives. The time of the
funeral has not yet been arranged.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. S.-Tho floods in
the Allegheny and Monongahcla rivers
have reached the limit and the worst is
over. The highest marks recorded were
about 10 A. Nj, today, and soon after tho

wrecked coal bargcs flooded mills and
mines and the cost of protecting exposed
river property.

IN THE SENATE.
The Lodge Resolution Observation-Disclosures oil
Late Senator Coiquitt.

Washington, Jan. SIN the Senate
the Lodge resolution was taken up. Pal
MGR CDem.) of Illinois, said that on the
question of the overthrow of the national
government in tho Hawaiian Islands,
there was no reason to doubt that 1t was
subvertcd by collision with the then
American minister The thing to which
he desired to call particular attention was
that the so-caled republican government
in Hawaiian Islands was based on total
disregard of the rights of the native
inhabitants Those natives held only
9 per cent. of the lands of the
islands. They had been driven to the
inferior lands and the fertile and produc-
tive lands were monopolizcd by strangers.
Those strangers have taken possession of
the government and controlled it, and
now had 1.-THE infinite impudonce to char
acterizc it as a republic" If consonance
with the popular liberties is essential to
republicanism then that government was
an aristocracy based on wealth. Palmer
cmphatically declared that nothing could
be more unfortunate to the United States
than the annexation of the islands.
Teller (Rep.) Of Colorado, quoted from
President Cleveland's reply to the Royal
list commission these words: Having
failed in my plans, l committed the entire
subject to the Congress of the United
States.
Palmer admitted that he did not know
clearly what the President meant, but de-
clarcd that the President had discharged
his duty and was maintaining most
rigorous policy of non-intcrvcntion with
the affairs of those islands.
Lodge remarked that it was the bust
ness of the Senate to inquire into any
thing which affected the interests of the
United States
at is the business of the Senate,
Palmer replied, ''to conflne itself to its
own constitutional duties. 1t is the bust
ness of the Senate to believe that all the
wisdom and patriotism is not found with
in these walls; but the President is as
conscious of his duties and us capable of
discharging them as the aggregate MON
bcrship of the Senate. Organized curl
osity is often simply organized impcrti
nence.''
After considerable further colloquy
among the senators, Aldrich sent to the
clerk 5 desk recent newspaper interview
with the President. Before the clerk
finished reading it the morning hour ex
pired and the resolution again went to the
calendar. Aldrich asked unanimous con
sent to have the resolution left pending in
the morning hour, but objection was made
by German.
The Senate then proceeded TO the de
livery of eulogics on the late senator
Colquitt of Georgia. Eulogics were pro
nounccd by Senators Gordon, Turpic,
Hill, Pasco, Mills and Walsh. Resolu
tions were adopted, and as further
mark of respect to Mr.. Colquitt's memory
the Senate at 3 40 p. NJ, adjourned, till
tomorrow.

IT is DOOMED,
But Little Hope for the Carlisle
Currency Bill.
Opposition Claims a Majority Against
= 1t of From Is to 40.
Champions Of Measure Will Make a Deter
mined Fight Tor Victory.

Washington, Jan. S--Therc was good
deal of quiet but earnest work, today, on
the part of the opponents of the Carlisle
banking bill, with view to cncompassing
its defeat when the opportunity offered.
This opportunity may be presented when
the committee on rules will report an or
der fixing debate under the five minute
rule until Friday, on which day vote
will be taken. When this resolution is
reported it is the intention of the opposi-
ton to antagonize it and move to strike
out the enacting clause of the Carlisle bill.
1t is feared by the friends of the measure
that this motion will carry and the bill
will thus be lost without further delay.
1t is asserted by those who have can
vassed the situation thoroughly that the
bill will be defeated by a majority of
from % to 40. One of its supporters stated,
late this afternoon, that the measure had
not at the present time, to exceed ll3 ac-
tive friends. The opposition is credited
with a vote OF l6S, with % members alb
sent or on-committal. The lowest ma
jority predicted against the bill by its
friends, is 10.
All day long the opponents of the meas
urc were caucused in little groups on the
floor of the House, and these caucuscs
presented the unusual spectacle of politi-
cal extremes meeting-of free coinage and
anti-frec coinage members and Populists
combining to make a common caucus
against the administration financial
plan.
Secretary Carlisle had heard these re
ports and came to the Capitol at 3, to
learn something of the situation. He was
told by some friends of the bill that its
prospects were precarious but determined
effort would be made to pull it through.
He remained until adjournment and
during his stay made his headquarters in
the Speakers room, talking with several
champions Of the bill, particularly Mcssrs.
Hall of Missouri, Springer of Illinois, and
Catchings of Mississippi.
He made no attempt to influence votes
for the bill beyond general conversation
regarding its prospects and offered no sug-
gcstions except in the way of several vcr-
bal amendments, which Mr.. Springer will
present when the bill is before the House.

QUIET At HAvERHlll.
Men Showing Readiness TO SettIe-Six Firms
Have Conceded Mems Demands.

IIavcrhill, Mass, Jan. Absolutely
nothing was doing in labor matters, to
day 1t is said that if the manufacturers
would make very little effort toward an
adjustment, the strike would bc settled at
once. The wOrkmcn have become better
acquainted with the condition of affairs
than before. The fact that the mantfac-
turcrs are paying so much moro for
leather than was expected when they
booked orders, has gone great way
toward inducing tho workmen to bc will
ing to go to work again at the old prices,
providing some way can be opened by
which they can do SO honorably and not
break their word with the union.
Six manufacturers arc said to have
settled with the unions, and it is possible
that a seventh firm has come to terms,
although it is impossible to ascertain at
present.
