IL the Republicans expect to carry
the silver producing states they
must do something for silver. Ii they
are laboring under the delusion that
these states are so '.solidly Republican"
that they can be counted upon to
swallow gilded bait, they will find that
they made mistake when the votes are
counted. The party cannot remain
silent on the question, neither can il
plate gold plank with silver and fool
the people; They have been fooled too
many times already, and are in humor
to flock to thatcandidate or party which
offers relief to the masses by means OF
the free coinage of silver. These are
facts that no Republican who is in
touch with the public pulse OF the silver
states will deny. 1t is in the air; it is
everywhere and the adoption OF gold
bug platform by the National convention
means the Ioss OF these states.

DUBOIS ON SILVER.

The speech OF Senator Dubois, in adj
dition TO advocating the passage OF the
free coinage substitute fer the bond bill,
outlined the position OF the republican
senator's in the silver states. The senator
said while he cheorfully greeted the
populist vote. in the senate for free
silver, he could not accept the popnlis,
leadership, that party being irresoesbiy
committed TO fat money with unlimited
imitation. Further, the silver repCbli-
cans favored protection generally, in
cluding the so-cslied raw materials and
particularly lesd, wool and lumber.
besides various products of the farm,
plantation and ranch. Referring TO the
charge that western silver states each
have two senators and are enabled To
pass free coinage bill, he said the ques-
ton OF representation was fougat out
when the constitution was framed.
Notwithstanding this. he added, Il read
In the press OF the east almost every day
tina, the region represent is pocket
borough, not entitled TO consideration
at your hands, and the inference ia that
it is peopled by Il class OF people who
are perpetual shock to the retired and
virtuous east. The meanest and most
yindictive OF the newspapers which
attack the silver men are published in
New York city, where for four scors
years the worst elements OF our foreign
Immigration have found Judgment and
where there have been more scandals in
in connection with their city governing
elections than in any other spot in oul
country"

Passengers OF Atlantic Steamer Have
Narrow Escape.
NEW YORK. August 16.-The 500
Italian Storage passengers who arrived
from Naples today in the steamship
Neustria had deep-rooted convictions
that the lives of all on board had been
imperilled during the voyage. Friday
evening a gigantic water-spout swept
by, while deafening thunder peals
Smote the ears OF the terrified immi-
grants and flashes Of lightning made
the sky appear like liquid sheet OF
flame.
At 8 p. N. small black mass of
yapor unrolled until the whole western
sky was of inky blackness. The Neus-
tria was then 400 miles from this port.
Lightning illuminated the black mass
at intervals OF second or two and the
thunder was terrifying. At o'clock
the attention of every one became riv-
eted upon an object like big cone Of
water that had arisen two miles west
of the steamer.
No rain had fallen and not breath
ElppleU Tue OCSdu ) SuTIdCS- Inc pas
Sengers were stricken dumb with ter
TOR as they watched the great cone
reach upward and JON the black mist,
forming column of water fully thirty
yards in diameter at the base and four
feet thick in the center of the column.
At the top it spread out like an i'm
mense umbrella. Thus it came careen-
| toward the Neustria. Many of the
panic-stricken passengers fell on their
knees and prayed. Others tainted,
/ while scores covered their faces and
waited in dumb despair for their doom
On came the great water column, but
/ as it neared the steamship her course
was changed slightly and the water
spout, seething and buzzing as it went
swept by not more than 200 yards from
/ the starboard side
! The passengers screamed as the i'm
mense column went by and they laughed
and cried and Rugged one another in
/ joy when they realized that the danger
| was past. The great spout broke a
mile astern of the Neustria and dis
appeared.

A WONDERFUL BULLET.
The Smallest. Yet Capable OF the Most
Terrific Power.

The Smallest, Yet Capable OF the Most
Terrific Power.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. ia
modern small arm, capable Of terrific
power and firing the smallest bullet yet
adopted in this country for military
purposes is to be supplied TO the navy
and marine corps in week or two.
The smailness of the bullet of the
new rifle is the main and only objection
TO it. The piece is the lightest of any
yet adopted, and the velocities obtained
have been far higher than those OF the
best English and French guns. Its
range is treble that of the Winchester,
and its penetrating qualities six times
as great as those of any guns hereto
fore used in the navy. 1t is eontended
that bullet as small as that fired by
the new gun will not stop a man in
action. The terrific velocity generated
by the gun sends the ball with such
force that its path through the human
being is even and not marked by rag
ged cuts, and bones when hit will not
be shattered, but pierced.
If, on the other hand, a man is struck
in the head the effect will be to cause
an explosion of the head, and this
would be true of the heart and lungs
or any part of the human anatomy
where gases or liquids are found.
