Concord, N. H, Nov. 16.-Hon. Will
lam E. Chandler, perhaps the shrewd-
est Republican in the senate, has ex-
amined the latest returns carefully
and has expressed himself as believing
1. That the Republicans will retain
the organization of the senate.
3 That no protective tariff laws can
be passed. Every Democratic senator
last winter voted repeatedly against
even taking up a tariff bill. Yet it is
possible that tariff legislation may be
obtained by the votes Of Silver Repub-
leans who have always been pro-
tectionistS.
3. That there will be a free silver ma
jority in the senate. OF the "A Repub-
Hcans. four "a, namely, Carter, Clark,
Mantle and Warren, are likely to vote
for free silver; SO probably will five (5J
more, namely, Mitchell of Oregon, Per-
kins' successor; Shoup, Wilson and
Wolcott. OF the SO Democrats, only
seven against free silver are now to be
seen-Caffery, German. Gray, Lindsay,
Mitchell of Wisconsin, Murphy and
Smith So that nine Republicans, 26
Democrats, nine Populists and four
Silver Republicans, amounting to As,
VIII make a senatorial silver majority,
with two votes to spare.
The uncertainties of the case are in
terestinS and important.
l. Whether any of the nine Silver
Republicans above named Will refuse
to vote for a protective tariff unless
they can have free silver remains to be
seen. 1t is to be hoped that all have
been enlightened and willingly in
structed as to sthe folly of such a posi-
ton by the 100000 popular majority
and the big electoral majority for Nc
Kinley and Hobart.
2 AS the free silver majority spoken
of as probable depends upon two votes,
it will be an open question during the
coming winter whether it is to be re-
allied 1t is to be hoped that such
light may be thrown upon the subject
from a consideration of the meaning
of the late popular election as; will pre-
vent such majority from manifesting
itself. The question, moreover,
whether the senate has or has not a
small majority for free silver is not in
itself material. in view of the over
whelming majority against it in the
house. The real question is that first
above stated, namely, assuming such
a majority, whether any Silver Repub-
licans will vote against d tariff bill I'M
less they can force the house and Pres
ident Mckinley to accept free silver
bill. 1t is hardly possible they will
take any such position.
Everything will depend upon the at
titude of the administration and the
Republican party towards bimetallism
If the result of the presidential cleo
ton is to be taken by President Nc
Kinley as a permanent acceptance of
the single gold standard, and no eff
forts, or only formal and insincere eff
forts, are to be made to remonetize
silver, there is little hope for any pro-
tective tariff legislation until 1899, af-
ter the people have been again consult
ed as to the complexion of the United
States senate, as well as on bimetal

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 16.-Some time
ago a Fairfields farmers horse was
killed by a train on the Charlotte, CO.
lumbia & Augusta railroad, one of the
longest lines of the south. The man
sued the company and obtained
judgment for S119. The authorities of
the road were in no hurry to settle,
and Saturday evening the matter was
put in the hands of the sheriff. When
the passenger train from this city ar
rived at Winnsboro, the county seat,
Sheriff Ellison and Deputy Elliott
were on hand. The latter presented a
pistol at the engineers head and the
former chained the drivers to the
track. When the SoutLJound New
York & Florida vestibule mail train
came up loaded with passengers it
could not pass. A northbound train
from Columbia was also stopped.
The town authorities started to ar
rest the sheriff. The sheriff finally re-
moved the chains for the arrested
train to be sidetracked. This the con-
ductor told him he could do himself.
After a blockade of six hours the au
thorities paid the claim and the trains
were allowed to proceed. All mail and
passenger connections were missed.
Aside froIl the probable action of the
postoffice department it is said that
the passengers will sue the county for
damages and the engineer VIII bring
action against the sheriff for threaten
ing with pistol.

Kansas City, Nov. 16.-William Jen-
nings Bryan was in Kansas City for a
short while this morning, arriving at
6 o'clock from Lincoln, leaving for a
two weeks hunting and fishing trip in
the Ozark mountains in Tanty county,
Missouri. During his brief stay in the
city, Mr.. Bryan gave a United As
ISOLATED Presses representative q short
interview. He said: L have no in
tentiOn of removing from Lincoln.
see no necessity for it, l propose to do
what l can for free silver. / do not
want to be regarded as a leader. but
simply as an ordinary worker con-
fident that the sentiments l advocate
mean prosperity for the country. The
cause is stronger today than ever and
will grow day by day. Education can
do nothing to hurt the cause of silver.
This year we got the heaviest vote in
states where free silver had been long
est discussed. Where it has been pre-
sented to people only in a limited way
it did not do as well. Kentucky is an
instance. While the Democrats lost
5000 votes the vote was almost a tie.
This shows there are many new re-
cruitS for the silver cause. The Deo-
pie are seeing the light and will learn
for themselves. The gold Democrats,
if they come back to the Democratic
party must come as silver men. There
is no room for two Republican parties
in this country. The gold Democrats
cannot come back to the party and run
it on Republican ideas. The Demo-
cratic party is committed to silver and
will continue to fight for it,
Mr.. Bryan is looking well, and out
side Of his voice, which is yet weak,
is in remarka bly, good health.

BUTTERFLY COIFFURE.
Women Surmounting Their Coils OF
Hair by -JeweIed Insects.

There is a new way OF wearing jewels
which affords great delight to the
young woman who likes to be an en-
bodiment Of glitter and scintillation.
This method is called the butterfly
couture and the basis of it is high
piled structure OF colts and puffs and
curls, arranged in the manner most
becoming to the pretty face beneath it.
Tiny curls cluster about the forehead,
and coquettish little rfnglets hang. close
together at the back of the Eeck. So
much for the foundation. Scattered
over st IS a perfect swarm of jeweled
butterflies. There are hundred pretty
ways OF arranging the gorgeous in
sects. and almost any fashion is likely
to be becoming. The aim is to get as
brilliant an effect as possible.
The general feeling in regard to this
fashion seems ia be that the larger the
butterflies the better but when they
are made of very rare jewels their pos
SCISSOR is usually content 10 have them
OF moderate size. The most exquisite
CT these ornaments are made of dia
mC1,1s, finely set in gold, the butter
fiy's head and the markings upon his
delicate wings being formed of bril-
liant rubies. emeralds and sapphires.
Now and then, however, there is a but
terfiy whose beauty is dependent upon
less costly gems. A very lovely speci-

cate garden flower is made of wonder

A Summer Girl who Proved Herself
Something More.

New York Herald: They had met UP
in the White mountains this summer
She was wealthy and he knew it, and
he was not and she knew it. Young
men are scarce up in the White noun
tains in summer, though, and so he be
came her attendant cavalier.
They met in town last week. He saw
her walking toward him on Fifth av-
enue, and with that fine instinct so
common to young summer men, tried
to avoid her. He did that because he
felt in. his inmoSt soul that she would
greet him with a freezing stare. He
started to walk hastily across the
street. He heard the frou-frou of silk
skirts behind him, and dainty gloved
hand touched his arm. He turned and
saw her face lifted to his in mute en-
treaty.
"Oh, Mr. De Bings," said the regal
woman. How could you? 1t really
seemed as though you were really try
ing to cut me. And that, too, after the
delightful summer we passed together
Here is my card. Papa and mamma
are just dying to meet you. Do call
soon"
How much of this story do you think
is true?

THE GYPSY faint.

Father is townsman. mother from the
far
Green southern uplands. where wealthy
pastures are,
Ny kfth and my kindred are prosperous
and sleek
Who feed well and work we'll and thrive
ali the week
But somewhere and some time, many
year ago,
There was a gypsy woman, that right
A wild, dark woman from the moor and
void
Who bare me an ancestor in days of old.
They hushed Up her memory. hid her
name away,
Thought they had done with her forever
Yet hath she left heritage that none
else shall win
Whereunto my wandering feet have en-
tered IN
For surely when the dead leaves scatter
down tne street
With rush and a rustic like little flying
feet;
When the sou'west wakens and with
scared looks askance
The townsfolk hasten from the storms
advance,
Ny whole soul sickens with a fierce de-
sire.
Stress of sudden longing sets my blood on
For the wind on the hilltop in lonely
place
And the cold, soft raindrops blowing on
my face.
For the steep hung hedges of the winding
road
And the forest pathway by the stream
o'erfiowed.
For the storm-swept heather where the
blackjack whirs
And the salt wind whistles through the
stunted frs.
For the brown wood water and the brown
fields smell.
And the wide sea marshes where the
cudleWs dwell
For the moorland black against the last o
red light.
And the sunk reefs breakers brawling
to the night.
Hide within your houses with your glar-
ing gaSi
Mine shall be the peat smoke in the
beech-roofed grass.
Count your sordid silver, tell your grimy
gaini
Mine shall be the treasures of the wind
and rain.

BOndholders Preparing to Buy the
Chicago 6 Northern Pacific.
Chicago, Nov. 16.-Members of the
bondholders' committee Of the Chicago
& Northern Pacific railroad made a
tour of inspection of the property pre-
paratory to bidding it in at the fore
closure sale tomorrow. The committee
will offer s10,000,00 for the road, in
Guiding assets of every kind, and also
assume the preferential mortgages, one
of which runs to the city of Chicago
and conveying the site of the Grand
Central Passenger station. The amount
is S650,000 The other mortgage
amounting to 1884, 000, is in favor of
Edwin A. Abbott and Joseph A Stew
art, so that the property will cost the
bondholders about 81, 900, 900. The cont
mittee, which is here, is keeping strict
silence regarding the reorganization
plans, although the plans have been
fully decided upon and will be put
into operation as soon as the sale is
consummate6. In railroad circles there
is an intimation that Receiver Hopkins
will be retained as manager of the
property in the office of president. The
Wisconsin Central interests are said
to be anxious to secure the property
because it would give them their own
Chicago terminal, and in that event
there may be competition at the sale
to surprise the bondholders.
Western railroads have decided to
run homeseekers' excursions twice a
month until next May at the rate of
one fare for the round trip, plus 81,
but if the tickets have demoraiizing
tendency, prompt action will be taken
