Leans are all torn up the back tonight

They have agreed to disagree and the re-
publicans OF the senate have aatly told
the members of the house that they Will
not have their measure. 1t looks now as
though there might be no gold standard
legislation this winter and the democrats
are iubilant. because the republicans are
fiatly cont Tilted TO the gold standard with
out being able to pvt Il into law There
is no doubt, though. that the administra-
ton Will bring pressure TO bear TO have
some sort OF a bill passed declaring sps-
cation of which 1t is tonight stated that
a call has been issued for meeting of
the republican members OF the senate

ton whip. has prepared bill on the lines
agreed upon during the conferences OF the

Washington. November 20. Senator Al
ilson, chairman or the committee on ap
preparations, reached Washington tonight.
The senator is also member OF the
finance committee, which has been en-
gagged during the recess in the considera-
ton of currency bill to bo reported to
the senate at the coming session. Ths
however. has not yet been COM
pleted, but work on II will BIO pushed and
a report made TO the senate at an early
date. Senator Allison Is OF the opinion
that financial legislation In some form Will
be enacted at the coming session. He
thinks the bill to be framed by the sen-
ate committe in all essential respects
will be very similar to that agreed upon
by the republican caucus committee Of
the house. although there may be differ
ences in the phrsseology which can be adj
justed In conference The object OF the
legislation proposed he says, Is the per-
lection OF the law fixing gold as the stand
ard OF value in the United States.

lines occupied by the confederate
forces, commanded by Gen. Gardner.
The position Of the confederates was
considered very strong on account of
the Qualifications, consisting of nine
batteries, with from eight to ten guns
teries down the river. George Dewey
was young lieutenant, just from the
naval academy, on one of the largest
vessels of this fleet, the Mississippi,
commanded by Capt. Smith. The yes
sci had tifty-four large guns, 500 small
arms, 4S0 marines and officers, with the
capacity of turning loose broadside
of twenty-seven guns at one time.

the blockade on the night OF March 81.
1t was then and there that Dewey got
his first lessons in the destruction of
war vessels. Farragut's fleet was ar
ranged in single file up and down the
river, with Hartford tport holes closed)
in the lead. The Switzerland, small
err vessel, was fastened to the Hartford
on the opposite side from the confed-
crate batteries. Both. vessels were
painted black. and The nieht was as
dark as Egypt. The Mississippi was
next in line and was the first vessel to
open fire on our batteries. Battery No.
70, a hot-shoti battery on the extreme
end of the line next to the enemy, was
the first battery to receive the fire of
the enemy's feet. This was command
ed by Captain Ramsel, of the First Ala
bana, and wa8 the only battery which
used red-hot shot exclusively.
THE process of firing was. necessar-
lily slow on account of handling the
balls and the heat produced in the

nell, of the district court, has made an
amendatory order in the case of Jas.
A. Doyle VS.. JAS. Il. Burns, president
of the Portland Gold Mining company
of Colorado, which was received here
yesterday. The order gives John y.
Baldwin an attorney fee of $1,000, and
requires that Burns shall pay this
amount into court here within forty
DAYS. In the event Of Burns falling to
comply with the order. the Judgment
for $717,025 secured by Doyle against
him and set aside by Judge Thornell's
previous order is to stand.
In the order Judge Thornell recites
that when the order setting aside the
Judgment secured by Doyle against
Burns was made, Baldwin fled mo-
tion for an order recurring Burns to
pay fees for the services he had rem
dered and which became fruitless by
the setting aside of the. decree. The at
torneys for Burns asked for post
ponement, which was granted by Judge
Thornell, and they were given time TO
make a showing in resistance.
A further postpone,nent was asked
bv Burns and an objection made. Judge
Thorneu making ailsamendatory order

promoting n combination of cattle
shippers and feeders which. il is eN-
'pected, will practically control the cat

one stockmen having already signitied
their intention of doing So A meeting
will be held here on Sept. IL. when an
organization will be completed.
Senator w. \. Harris. of Kansas. is
one of the prime movers in the scheme,
and it is expected that he will be pres
ident of the company. EN-Congress-
man Peters will probably be general
manager.
Among the stockmen who have sub
scribed for stock in the concern are en-
Congressman Jerry Simpson of Kansas,
Senator Hirris of Kansas. Benjamin

Mr.. Peters was prominent in the af-
fairs of the American Live Stock Com
mission company, which was incorpo-
rated in 1880 and litigated out of bust
ness in 1892 as an illegal combine to
raise the price of beef. During the eN-
istence of the company, according to
Mr.. Peters, it paid 100 per cent to the
original stockholders, returned so per
cent of the premiums to the shippers,

spent $4,000 in litigation. The obiec-
tionable feature in the American com

vice consul here, yesterday returned the
visit of NJ. Grana, president of the
Representatives, who showed the Wis
itors through the rooms of the pre-
lecture, the former palace of the kings

sioner Duval, whom Admiral Dewey
thanked for the port facilities which
had been granted to his vessel.
The inhabitants of Nice gave Admiral
Dewey hearty welcome as he passed
through the streets. He returned to
Villefranche at noon.
Admiral Dewey expresses regret for
the incorrect reports concerning his re-
ception at Triest. He says it was most
courteous and hearty, the minister of
marine coming especially from Vienna
to greet him. ''Not only myself" add
ed the American admiral, '.but every
one on board the Olympia received ev-
cry possible attention.
Admiral Dewey created marked
impression here. all those who saw

feet their preparation for their work
as teachers. They average older than
college students. The students come
from all parts of the state. They are
admitted if they have passed county
superintendent examination for a
certificate, or if they are graduates of
high school; but none are admitted
who are not teachers or DESTROYS of en-
tering that profession. The enroll
ment twill be 1000 by the close of the
biennial period. The school needs
many additions to its facilities. At
the opening of the fall term in Sep
TENDER there will be nine teachers not
provided with class rooms, and this
need will be emphasized by still
larger attendance than that of the
past year. The chapel will comforta-
bly, seat about 600. and therefore not
more than one-third the entire enroil-,
ment can be gathered together at one
tme. A large assembly hall is asked
from the state as soon, as possible,
and meantime some arrangements for
temporary chapel accommodations.
New buildings and facilities are ask
ed for the department of applied Eng
fish, and gymnasium and drill hall
for the men is greatly needed. The
federal government maintains at the
school anrarmy officer who has charge
of the organization and drill Of the col
lege battalion.
The departments of physics and
chemistry, and scivics and economies
have entirely outgrown their space,
and must be given new facilities. New
departments should be organized as
follows: kindergarten, German lam
