All Is Not Lovely in the Ranks OF
the senate emocT"ts
Not Griey'Bg-Anti-silNc
tUte Vote.

! land manufacturers.
There is 10 doubt now that the vote
! yesterday was the result Of conferences
| previously held BY the western senators.
! and that they had made up their minds
/ there should be no tariff legislation with
/ out corresponding benefit 90 free silver.
| IL is their purpose to maintain this posi-
ton throughout the session, and, If sue
/ cossful. the issues in the coming pres-
| Dental campaign will be radically
| changed and new platforms will have to
be constructed and new candidates may
| loom up Tor the nomination in the Re-
/ publican party.
on the other hand. the eastern silver
Republicans are disguised with the action
of their western brethren, and they
| will be forced back into the sound-money
ranks. The Democrats are pleased with
/ the Senate situation.
The virtual defeat OF silver in the
House yesterday is another victory for
sound money. The only Nirginians voting
against Mr. Crisp's motion to concur
/ in the Senate free-silver substitute were
Messrs. Tucker and Turner.
NEWPORT NEWS BUILDING.
The Senate Committee on Public Build
ings. through the influence OF Senator
Daniel mas instructed that gentleman

Of a public building at Newport News,
to cost 10000. This bill had previously
been introduced in the House boy Repre-
sentative Tyler. and was referred. Tn,
action OF the Senate committee to-day
Will have a good effect on the bill IN
the House, and it IS confidently expected
by the friends Of Newport News that
the Appropriation will be passed this ses-
sion. The Republicans are favorably in
clned towards Newport News.
