Silver Men Win Victory in the
House
On a Senate Amendment to the
Deficiency Bill.
BRODERICK GOES OVER
Congressman From the First
Kansas District
Is Counted With the Democrats
and POpulists.

Washington, Jan. 22.-There was a
parliamentary struggle in the house
yesterday over the bill for the relief of
the book publishing company of the
Methodist Episcopal church south,
which was before the house last Fri
day. By shrewd manuevering its op-
ponents succeeded in preventing action.
The urgent deficiency bill was sent to
conference after the silver forces, with
some outside aid, had succeeded in con-
curing in the senate amendments.
striking from the bill the provision re-
quiring the depositors of bullion at gov
ernment assay offices to pay the cost of
transportation to the mints.
The debate soon drifted into a discus
sion of the silver question, as it did on
the former occasion. Messrs. ShafrOth,
(Pop., COIO), Newlands, (Sil. Rep, New,
Cannon, (Rep., I'D, and Bland, Dem.,
MOI, participated. Mr.. Cannon finally
submitted a modified proposition pro-
viding that the depositor of bullion
should pay the cost of transportation
to the nearest mint
1t was defeated, SO to 130.
The senate amendment to strike out
the whole provision was then agreed to
without division in the committee of
the whole. Mr.. Cannon gave notice he
would demand an aye and no vote in
the house.
The vote in committee was confirm
ed on an aye and nay vote in the house,
IA to 112.
The bill was sent back to conference.
The vote was considered significant,
as there was to a certain extent an
alignment of the silver forces in favor
of the motion to concur in the senate
amendment. The following Republi-

WILL WHEAT GO HIGHER?
European Reserve of the Cereal Getting
Very Low.

european Reserve or the Cereal Getting
Very Low.
The furry in the security markets has
diverted speculative support from wheat.
Another depressing factor has been the I'M
satisfactory character of the export trade.
Although European reserves Of wheat are
very low, foreign buyers are operating eau
tiously, and are apparently making no
special effort to ugment their supplies
much in excess OF current requirements
According to the Corn Trade News OF
Liverpool, however, the worlds supply
of wheat is 100, 900, 900 bushels less and Its
invisible stocks probably 24O, 200, 600
bushels less than they were three years ago
The situation would appear to necessltate
further demands upon this country for all
the wheat that can be spared for export
before the harvesting of another crop,
although immediate urgency in the
export demand is restrained by the receipt
abroad Of fair supplies from Argentina
Russia and other countries, including the
shipments on account of purchases from
the United States The interior movement
of wheat has increased little, owing to
recent advances in prices. The total re-
ceipts at primary markets for 81 weeks
since July |, 1897, have been 1S1 600, 600
bushels-a total never exceeded in the cor
responding period except in the big crop
years, 1891 and 1892. In view OF the pre-
yious heavy movement, the fact that cur
rent weekly receipts are more than 1000,
coo bushels larger than those of year ago
is an indication of greater reserve supplies
than many persons had believed to exist
Calcutta advices to the London Times,
indicate an abundant wheat harvest in
India. Should these reports prove to be
correct the fact of midas ability to contri-
butte more largely to the needs of Europe
would encourage continued conservatism
on the part of foreign buyers, although
several months must elapse before ship.
ments of new wheat from India could be
laid down in Liverpool.
Europe's wheat reserves are very low,
but her buyers show a disposition to resist
the price of initiation which has been of
late in progress in Chicago and other specu-
lative markets. They are encouraged in
this. attitude by the fact that Argentine
and Pacific coast shipments of wheat are
now offered to them at lower prices than
the figures fixed by speculation for the
available wheat supplies Of Chicago and
the Atlantic ports.
Prospects for further large exports Of
wheat from the present United States crop
are very favorable, but improving crop
prospects in other countries, the outpour of
larger stocks than had been believed to re-
main on farms in this country and the
growing use Of American corn for human
consumption in Europe may easily defeat
the movement among spectators to
''corner" the market before the new crop
shall become available.

A GEORGIA STORY.

The Sonora "Enterprise-G Gazette says
that as the regular passenger train was
going west from Griffin, and was about
forty minutes late, the engineer was trying
to make up lost time, and consequently
running about fifty miles an hour, when
he was Mortified to see, about two hundred
yards ahead of him, just as he turned a
curve before he got to Whitewater Creek,
a man on the track waving his coat across
it and over his head, and seeming to
he much excited The engineer, thinking,
OF course, that the bridge had burned or
fallen in, applied his air brakes, reversed
his engine, and shouted to his fireman to
jump. They both landed safely, and the
train came to halt SO suddenly that it
nearly unseated all the passengers
"What's the matter? what's the mat
ter % asked the almost breathless con-
ductor Of the fellow who had stopped the
train.
Sam-for that was the mans name
answered:
II jes' wanted to know eff you wanted
ter buy some 'possums."
The engineer tainted, the fireman flew
back to the engine, and the conductor
looked all about him for a rock OR fence
rail to kill Sam with, and finally in his
hip pocket for his pistol, fully intending to
kill him on the spot; but he did not have
his pistol, and could not find anything to
hit him with. He saw he was in it, and
after a moments reflection he told Sam he
would take his opossums. The conductor
intended to take all Sans opossums and
leave Sam standing without paying for
them, so he asked Sam where they WERE
The engineer had recovered himself, the
fireman and about two-thirds of the pas
sengers had got up to the engine by now,
and eagerly looked for Sam to bring in
about dozen big, fat opossums. But Sam
simply said to the conductor:
"Wall, l hain't got um hire; but these
here big woods up here is jus chuck full
of um, and will ketch you three OR four
and bring um down some time"
Four strong men lifted the limp and
almost lifeless form Of the conductor to the
train.
