CONGRESSMAN BAILEy's VIEWS.
Not Much to lie Accomplished
Touching the Currency-Cuba.

ST. LOUIS, December 1.-Congressman
Joseph Bailey, OF Texas, the recognized
leader Of the Democratic side of the
House. passed through this city to-day,
on route for Washington. He expressed
the opinion that not much would be ac-
complished by the approaching session OF
congress. particularly regarding the cur
rencv question. There is a possibility,
he said, that the House may take some
action regarding the currency, provided
the President sends a message TO Con-
yress recommending the retirement OF the
ereenbacks and the conversion OF non
in4erest- bearing government notes into
gold Understanding securities. Should
fine President recommend such measure,
If would doubtless pass the House, but In
no event would IL pass the Senate. and
do not believe II would be attempted"
Asked his opinion of the fate OF the
MORGAN resolution recognizing the bellige-
rency of Cuba, which passed the Senate
and is pending in the House. he said:
"Tsverything depends upon public senti-
nent. III public feeling remains dormant,
the resolution will not be acted upon, but
N the public makes strong demand, then
The resolution will be taken up and passed
under a rule limiting debate"
Mr. Bailey left tonight for Louisville,
and expects TO reach Washington next
Sunday.

THROAT CUT FROM EAR TO EAR.
MIR. Hord AssaiIs His Own Life and
Nearly Succeeds.

Mr.. Frederick Hord. a resident of
Church Hill. lies at the Virginia Hospi-
tai. and DIR. Virginius Harrison, his ply
stefan, says that the chances are against
him for life.
Mr.. Hord yesterday morning attempted
to take his own life at his residence
No. 1905 Pleasant street, by cutting his
throat, and the physicians statement
of his present condition goes to show how
nearly he succeeded.
The unfortunate man was found In MS
room at the residence given above ABOUT
$50 yesterday morning, bloody knife III
his hand his person covered with the
crimson tide, and his throat cut from
ear to ear. He resides with his sister
and il was she who made the shas'ly
find. The lady gave the alarm az once
and the ambulance was 'phoned ior III
Nuckols, in charge of the van, responded
and with one glance saw that Hord's
condition was far from being of trivial
nature. A message had also been as
Matched for DR.. Harrison, and that ply
stefan also responded. Dr. Harrison sug-
gested that Hord be taken to the VIZ
ginia Hospital, and this was done
Though every attention Is his at the
we'll known institution, his chances Tor
recovery are not fattering. His physi-
clan feels forced TO admit this.
Mr.. Hord, himself, can say nothing
about the matter, but his famlD-the
sister and one brother-say that he had
been respondent for some time on ac-
count of financial troubles. lie had
been out of regular employment for some
years. and Of late he had grown sullen
and morose. Several years ago Mr.. Hord
conducted a saloon business at Nenable
and Mosby streets. His brother Is now
the proprietor of n liquor business on
Venable street.
Mr.. Hord is about 40 years OF age, mas
never been married. and has always been
regarded as man of quiet disposition
and temperate habits.

NOTES AND GOSSIP.
AS debate was In progress at the time
the returns for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor were presented in the House
yesterday, a day was not set for the hold
ing OF a joint assembly TO count the
votes. The two houses will 20 In joint
session probably tomorrow for the pur-
pose. The law provides that the returns
shall be canvassed within one week from
the convening of the General Assembly.
Owing to a typographical error in the
Dispatch yesterday, one of the sentences
in Mr.. Ryan's speech accepting the nomi-
nation of Speaker of the House of Dele
gates was, by the omission of few
words, deprived somewhat Of its exact
meaning. The paragraph in question
should have read as follows: 1.-THE office
for which you have selected me carries
with it both honor and responsibility. One
of the most difficult and delicate duties
which devolves upon the Speaker is that
of selecting committees"
Speaker Ryan, when asked last night
as to when the committees would be APP
pointed said that 1t had been the Gus
tom for the House to adjourn three or
four days in order to give the speaker
time to prepare committees, and that by
departing from that rule by having ses-
sions each day, as was now being done,
the selection of committeeman would be
delayed somewhat.
