The SlLvERlTE BOLT.
Bsginning Of Trouble for the ST. Louis
Convention.

~~"~-@--~
Five republican senators voted
against taking up the tariff bill for the
action of the senate. They were Can

Montana, Dubois, of Idaho. and Teller.
OF Colorado. Carter is the chairman Of
the republican national committee.
Four populist senators. elected as re-
politicians or by republican votes in
their respective states--iiutler, OF
North Carolina, Jones and Stewart. OF
Nevada, and PETER, of Kansas-also
voted against taking up the bill.
When the vote was announced the re-
publican leaders declared that the bill
was dead beyond hope OF revival AMI
that it was the end of all attempts 10
lcgislate on the tariff at this session
The silver republicans were denounced
as responsible for the failure OF tariff
legislation nnd were read out OF the
party. Senator Teller dehantly re-
torted: I'VE can get along better
without the party than the party can
without u.s." The event is regarded as
parallel in the main with the bolt OF
the slavery democrats in 1sCo.
The succession Of events however
in the two cases, looking to the future
appears to he reversed. The democratic
bolt of 1860 began in the national con

senate is republican, because IT, Is or
gained by "a combination OF republic
ans and populists. whereby the spells
of Office are divided between the two
parties. The senate refuses to pass
the Dingley tariff bill. simply because
the populists and republicans cannot

10 whether II would accomplish this re

passed the house that an estimate Of Its
effect was made, and the Judgment OF
the experts was THAI there would be no
increase of revenue supplied except
through the wool schedule, and the
best possible improvement that could
be expected was an addition of sil .ooo,-

supplying the deficiency of 1895. repnb-
lican craftsmanship was only able to
propose a measure that would grant
one quarter Of the relief needed, but
republican craftsmanship was unable

DISTRESS In INDIA.
The viceroy Fears There Will BE Suf-
fcring Next Month.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Viceroy Of India,
the Earl of Elgin, cabled the home govern
ment to-day that in the Punjab the dis
tress is expected mostly in the Cissutley
portion and in Transkari. In tracts of
Lahore, Giyranwalla, Gujrat and Shapur
the autumn crops are rather better and
in the northwest provinces the affected
area is smaller than expected, but includes
half the population. The people are now
eating autumn millet. The distress Will
begin about the middle of December. Con-
tinuing, the Viceroy says that the revenue
paying rice crops have largely failed, that
about third of the autumn taxation will
be suspended - lakhs of rupees will be adj
vanced for seeds and temporary wells and
that excellent effect is expected from these
relief measures. In spite of this, however,
the V-ceroy admits that distress is feared.
