Washington. Jan. 4.-Thc resolution
offered by Senator sherman (rep., o.
In relation TO the reserve fund was laid
before the senate and Senator Sher-
man addressed the senate.
Senator Sherman opened mis- speech by =
reference 10 the two recent messages OF
the president o. the United states In rela-
ton 70 the Monroe doctrine and 10 tho
condition or the national finances. As TO
the former he remarked that congress- had
perhaps too hastily bur with entire
unnnimifyr supported the president In
maintaining the interests and honor OF
the country IN the neld Of diplomacy"
but as TO the latter congress had not np-
proved ana would not approve his reconl-
mendatlons az To the financial policy and
especially an To the currency. The PRES
idcnt had mistaken the cacsc OF the pres-
cnt nn>nc.ol condition ia attributing II TO
the demand for gold for United States
notes instead Of 10 tho dcnsiency Of rev.
congress. thus placing the effect before
the cause. And he had proposed es =
remedy the conversion or United States
notes and treasury notes into Interest,"
bearing bonds. thus increasing the inter-
est bearing debt nearly $4,000 .0O0." The
president had proposed line OF policy
that would produce a sharp contraction
or currency, add greatly 10 the burden OF
existing debts. and arrest The progress OF
almost every American Industry that com
peted with foreign productions.
In these Views the president was sup
ported by the secretary OF the treasury.
IL was with dlfidencc that he (Senator
Eherman) undertook TO controvert their
opinions. but his convictions were so strong
that they were In error that rs hoped 10
convince the senate by the facts wh.ch
he would submit that the true line OF pub
lie policy was TO supply tho government
with ample means TO meet current ex-
penses and 10 pay each year q portion OF
the public debt. The only difficulty in tho
way or an easy maintenance OF United
States notes at par with coin was the fact
that during the administration the rev.
enues OF the government had not been
sufficient &C meet the expenditures.

took place near Colon. about so miles

were badly routed and suffered hcevy
loss. and the insurgents gnlncd the po-
sitiop which will probably enable them
TO take Havana nj the next step. The
insurgents also captured the entire
Spanish artillery. Gen. Oliver was
killed and Campos' son seriously

eludes the possibility OF learning details

ARREST THEM ALL.
The Business of the Police is to Take
Care of suspicious Characters"

Look out for burglars. The city is
filling up with all kinds of suspicious
characters, and in spite of the strenu-
Gus efforts of the police department to
prevent them from arriving, they are
coming faster than they can be attend
ed to. Chief of Police Gardiner an
nOunces that he wishes all citizens to
keep their doors locked in an effort to
help the department in the work of
preventing burglaries-
In many parts of the city residents
have employed a special Waterman
to guard the residences during Fail
Festival week. Every day suspicious
looking characters are run out of the
city and some are held at the city jail.
At present there are Is extra police
men on duty. These, with the Is reg
ular patrOlmen, are kept busy watching
for bad characters.
Every window and door should be
kept securely locked when the residents
are away from the house. Some men
are going about the city selling specta-
Cles and in this way get to see into
many of the houses. Chief Gardiner
says he wishes the citizens of Topeka
to refrain from feeding beggars during
Fall Festival week, as it will decrease
the number of suspicious people going
from house to house. All who are in
need of food will be supplied at the po-
lice station, and those who do not be-
long here should not be encouraged.
Lock UP your doors and windows,
and help the police department, and
then the police department can help

TORN BY A WAFER SPOUT.
Water Spout and Whirlwind Does
Much Damage Along Long
Island Sound.

Patchogue, L. L, Sept. PA fierce
whirlwind and waterspout swept the
great South Bay for several miles last
night. 1t seemed to descend from the
heavens till it reached the surface OF
the bay where it started whirTing east
ward with the roar of a hundred freight
trains.
The spout was noticed first down to-
ward Fire Island, and swept east at a
fearful rate. When opposite Bayport
it struck the yacht Henry G. Miller,
turning her bottom side up in an in
slant. Then the great roaring body of
water veered in it's course and went
whirling away in different directions.
When the spout reached a point Off
PatchOgue it started toward the main
shore. Sand was hurled in the air and
where there was only three feet of
water there is now six or seven. The
water spout finally started north and
ran ashore opposite East Patchogue.
When it struck the earth a whirlwind
formed instantly. This turned over
bathing houses, tore up trees, and fin
ally played havoc in a big corn field.

WORKED WITH BROWN.
Elbridge G. Blunt, Associated With
Early Kansas History, is Dead.

Early Kansas History, is Dead.
Chicago, Sept 24-EIbridge C. Blunt;
who was intimately associated with
John Brown, in conducting the UNDER
ground railway in Kansas, and was al
so an active scout in the civil war, is
dead. He was one of the early settlers
of Kansas, having gone there in the
spring of 1855.
Mr.. Blunt may be said to have been a
director in the famous underground
railway in Kansas. John Brown was
frequently at the house of Mr. Blunt
behalf of the slaves, many of whom
through their kind Offices Through
many a long night MI. Blunt stood
guard over some humble cabin in which
the fugitives from the south were con-
cealed.
With his brother, Gen. James G.
Blunt. he was active in the civil war.
He served as a scout under his brother.
His minute knowledge of the country
and the character of the men whom he
was opposing made his services espec-
tally valuable. At the opening of the
war General Blunt had raised a regi-
ment and then a brigade to fight for
the union. In the brigade were two
regiments made up mostly of Indians.
1t was General Blunt who met the in
vasion of General Price and drove him
out of Kansas. He then joined his
forces with those of General Daniel E.
Sickels and the two fought the memoir
able battle of Pea Ridge. Since 1868
Mr.. Blunt has resided in Chicago.
