Scenes and Incidents of the Sad Cri
sis.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 17.—Eleven new
cases of fever to-day, and an epidemic de
clared. Such was the announcement
Elide by Col. Goodyear at the board of
health meeting to-day, sending a thrill of
horror to the grief-stricken Brunswiok
iutis present. Though prepared for this
announcement by the publication to-day
of the result of your correspondent’s per
sonal investigations, the shock was none
the less. Many thought, when to-day’s
issue of the Morning News was read, that
the correspondent had overdrawn the sit
uation in yesterday’s report, and had as
sumed prophetic powers without warrant,
but when my words were written last
night, it was with the consciousness that
Brunswick was to have an epidemic; and,
though having no official announcement to
that effect, 1 endeavored to so word my
telegram that the people would read be
tween the lines and leave .the city. With
heartbreaking sorrow, hundreds hur
riedly rushed to the trains this afternoon,
and it will need no military force to de
populate the city.
THESE MCST BE HELPED.
There are the poor in Brunswick for
whom the government and the people of
this country must think. They cannot
leave, for thoy have no money and “help,
or we will perish,’’ is the cry that would
go up from hundreds of throats, did they
know that it would lie heard. With
lightened hearts and faces, .Brunswick
ians have lived the last few days; but
now, with our broken banks and stricken
people, it seems tho cup is full to over
flowing. A striking coincidence was re
lated by ex-Mayor Colson to-day,a veteran
of the epidemic of ’76.
COINCIDENCE OP DATES.
Just seventeen years ago, on Sunday,
the 17th of September, in 1876, Bruns
wick was pronounced stricken with an
epidemic; and now a repetition occurs.
Dork clouds Boat over the city to-day,
adding to tho gloom.
Surgeon Guiteras left this afternoon for
Philadelphia, alter doing noble work. lie
was culled to the bedside of a sick wife.
Surgeons Geddings and Paget are here,
and Surgeon Murray is en route. Work
will he commenced on the hospital build
ings to-morrow.
TOUCHING INCIDENTS.
During the hurry and bustle of leaving
to day many nailed up their stores and
then fled. Weeping mothers, wives and
children stood by the train, crying as if
their hearts would break as they im
printed kisses on their loved ones’ lips,
probably the last they will ever give.
Sirong men turned aside, with tears
welling from their eyes, as they viewed
the affecting scene, and the prayers that
were offered in that crowd were many,
but, silent and sincere.
Father Hennesy, Ministers Ed F. Cook,
J A Thompson and 1). Watson Winn
were among them, offering consolation to
the departing people, and will remain to
cuinlort those who cannot leave.
PHYSICIANS ARRIVE.
Physicians are beginning to arrive. Dr
■T \\ James came this morning from At
lanta, with Dr. Sanchez, and will tender
his services and instruments free of
charge to the people. He does not come
as an adventurer, to build a reputation on
a stricken community, but brings letters
of introduction from Gov. Northen
and other prominent people. He is a gen
tleman and a physician of the old school,
and for the sake of humanity, has come
to help Brunswick. He read that nurses
and physicians were needed, and came at
once Jack Hastings of the Atlanta
Journal arrived to-day, but found he
oonld not leave the city at will, and re
turnc.L, after securpg a statement of the
wuatbn of affairs. ..
NAMES NOT fro BE GIVEN.
Sixteen cases are under treatment, but
board of hoalth decided to-day not to
Pve the names for publication from to
-1,1 ;"ii. All are resting easy, except the
tailor. Johnson, and Mrs. Turner, who
dangerously 111.
Surgeon Guiteras warns people from
Rowing citizens to spend their days in
runswick and go out to their homes at
nurut. He says such people will carry in
jection with them.
STAMPEDING A MEETING.
-\t the meeting to-day Col. Good
-s'‘r announced that any one could
PUo Atlanta. One gentleman arose and
a ' S k "'hen the first train left. This was
t-'kod seriously, but broke up the ineet
iln<d the citizens scrambled down
i!.’ s to prepare. The boat to St. Simon’s
I'.an I will probably lie stopped, cutting
I *HJ people. Camp Hutton is being
ipidly arranged to accommodate 2,000.
S' the poorer people can find refuge
■ ‘ 1 lle government trains will
i t '_ run daily. Preparations for establish
- i cordon around the city and moving
11 people will be begun to-morrow, when
t ' loon Murray arrives. Ho will wear
v nited States uniform, and his word
■ n. ,aw. Mayor Lamb will co-operate
_ him. Operators Cater and Ennis,
‘‘vs Cleminso Manager are sticking
„ ""‘ v t 0 their posts, and will re
‘Wuin.
WHERE ALL ARB WELL,
to '? St night and the early part of
{ on St. Simon’s Island, investigating
t : Uso to house and both hotels. All
to |.* ’ T’le near the hotels are well and
' ffi ; themselves as best they can. A
-v ,r '“° wal *t to-day brought me to Jew :
fEjje lUonting Metagl
Town, a settlement of tho lower classes
near tbajnilis. 1 found only one case of
sickness, and that only a slight cold and
not serious. At the mills all were well
and looked happy. St. Simon’s is
perfectly healthy. No boats returned
to-day, and I was brought eight miles
in a row boat to Brunswick, when I heard
the awful news of the increase in cases.
Strong wind and a heavy salt atmos
phere on St. Simons makes fever there
almost impossible. One of tho pathetic
things of this epidemic is the numerous
letters Postmaster Mac Brown daily re
ceives from wives and mothers, inquiring
for their people, from whom tiiey cannot
hear. In answer to these I would say
that all that could go have gone or are
preparing to leave immediately. Fire in
surance companies have temporarily
waived the absence clause.
PROPERTY TO BE PROTECTED.
Chief of Police Lewis Beach is doubling
his force, and with Lieut. Hubert Levison
will remain and see that property is pro
tected. Fire Chief Saunders and a full
force are on duty to respond to any
alarms. The change in the weather to
day i3 unfavorable, and the worst may be
expected. Nothing but the heaviest frost
wall stop it, and people had better remain
away until ice forms.
PROMPT MEASURES.
Surgeon General Wyman Hastening
Expert Help to Brunswick.
Washington, Sept. 17.—The yellow
fever situation at Brunswick, Ga., is
alarming. Late to-night Surgeon General
Wyman received tho following tele

CORDON RECOMMENDED.
Another telegram was received from
passed Assistant Sergeon Geddings
which stated the disease was epidemic
and that he would put Dr. Faget in
charge of the city hospital with a corps of
nurses. He recommended the immediate
establishment of a cordon, to make the
camp of utility and prevent the return of
fresh material. The camp will be ready
to-morrow.
A side track has been put down by the
railroad, and a steam disinfection box car
has been put up by Surgeon Carter.
REINFORCE BENT OE PHYSICIANS.
Srg. Ilumes. who was taken ill while at
Brunswick, is under orders to return
there when ha recovers. Passed Assis
tant Surgeon Magruder who been near
the camp was detailed to Beaufort, but
is under orders to report to Brunswick.
Surgeon Murray, the yellow fever ex

believes that the epidemic can be
checked. To-day he telegraphed Dr. J.
Y. Porter, health officer of Florida, to act
with the marine hospital service in pre
venting vessels from the yellow fever
districts from passing the mouth of the
Cumberland river.
THE STRIP.
Thousands Getting Away From the
Great Land of Promise.
Kansas City, Sept. 17.—There was a
big exodus of disappointed people from
the Cherokee strip to-day. The Santa Fe
brought in three special train loads this
morning, and the Rock Island
two. All the regular trains on
both these roads were crowded
with men and women who left the strip
last night, and who were glad enough to
get back to civilization. A whole party
of people from Illinois, who had planned
to establish a colony of their own in the
strip, came back on the Santa Fe.
HAPPY PIONEEBS.
They were the most forlorn looking
party that the officials of the union depot
had ever seen. They were dust begrimed
and weary. They made the run on foot
from the line north of Orlando, Okla
homa, and got nothing after having stood
in line for four days at the registration
booth, sleeping on the ground aud exist
ing on muddy water and dry bread.
HIGH OLD TIMES.
The Boomers Enjoying Regal Social
Surroundings and Getting Happy.
Guthrie, Sept. 17.—Sunday in anew
town, and especially a town made on Sat
urday, is never a very enjoyable day, and
it was less so than usual in the little city
of Perry to-day. So terrible has been the
day and so great the discomfort of the
people, that hundreds are leaving upon
every train. Still there are enough left
in Perry to make the biggest city in the
territory.
HOBBBD RIGHT AND LEFT.
Thieves and gamblers were thick last
night, and people were robbed right and
left. Two men were badly hurt, and one
killed by the thieves. The number of fa
talities will bo much greater than at first
supposed, but nine-tenths of those killed
or injured were the victims of accidents
due to the rush. Tim wild stories sent
out about dozens of men being shot, and
women found with kuives sticking in
their hearts, etc., are fakes pure and
simple.
Cholera in Europe.
Vienna, Sept. 17.—1n Galicia there were
seventeen fresh cases of cholera and nine
deaths on Friday and Saturday; in Hun
gary sixteen fresh cases and nine deaths
in the same period. Die epidemic is de
creasing at the Danube points in Kouma
nia, excepting Barhilov, where the aver
ago of fresh wises and deaths is the same
as three weeks ago.
SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 189:5.
THREE NEGROES LYNCHED.
Hanged on Saturday Night in the
Shadow ot the Crescent City.
They Were Brothers of a Brutal Mur
derer Whom They Were Shielding
From the Law and Who on the Pre
vious Day Had Shot to Death the
Judge Who Was Trying Him for a
Trivial Offense, Wounding Also the
Judge’s Son—A Fourth Negro Kicked
to Death—Great Excitement at the
Scene of the Third Hanging.
New Orleans, Sept. 17.—There was a
triple lynching > almost within the
shadow of the city last night, but it was
conducted so quietly that the account of
the horrible affair published this morn
ing was a surprise to the community.
The victims of the vengeance of
the mob were three negro broth
ers named Julian, and the crime
which they expiated in so summary
a manner was the shield ing of a fourth
brother, Koslius Julian, who, on Friday,
shot Judge Victor Estopinai to death
while the latter was trying him for a
trivial offense, and seriously wounding
the judge's son, and who then made good
his escape.
KILLED IN THE COURT ROOM.
Tho shooting occurred in the court
room, and the murderer continued firing
until the judge, who followed close upon
him, fell mortally wounded immediately
outside and to the left of the building.
The brutal negro then stood over the
prostrate form of his victim and fired a
fourth shot, which is supposed to be the
one that passed through tlio heart. Tho
negro then made a dash across the
grounds for ids cabin.
FIRING ON THE JUDGE’S SON.
Just at this time August Estopinai, a
son of the murdered official, who is em
ployed as a conductor on the Carrollton
road, was coming in from his work, and
he gave chase to the man whom he had
just seen murder his father. The negro
reached his cabin, and coming out,
fired two shots at the young man,
who sought safety in a house adjoining
the residence of Mrs. Chas. Flory. The
negro provided himself well with ammu
nition while in the cabin, for during his
short stay he grabbed up a valise and a
Winchester rifle. It was from this room
that he fired the. two shots by which
young Estopinai was wounded.
DARTING AWAY FOR THE SWAMPS.
The negro made for the swamps in the
rear of tho city, and being perfectly fa
miliar with them was soon safe. A posse
was Immediately organized, and all night
and all Saturday the surrounding country
was scoured, but the searching was fruit
less so far as the real criminal was con
cerned. Tho mother, two broth
ers and two sisters of the negro
Hoselius were arrested yesterday aiter
noon nt Klackridge, iu the rear of the
city, by the city police, und were then
taken to the little jail. Another brother
was arrested later in the day in the same
neghborhood, and taken to the'kamc jail.
All were charged with assisting the
fugitive.
LYNCHERS MAKE THEIR APPEARANCE.
About 11 o’clock a body consisting of
about twenty-five men, some armed with
rifles and shot guns, came up to the jail
and lit a lantern. They unlocked the
dour, and then held a conference among
themselves as to what they should do.
Some were in favor of hanging the whole
five, while others raised objections, and
insisted that only two of the brothers,
the short one and the tall one, “Yalsin”
and “Bakile,” should be taken out
and strung up. This was finally
agreed to, and several of the men went
into the jail, and, coming out afterwards,
brought with them the two doomed
negroes. They were hurried across to a
pasture 100 yards distant, and there asked
to take their last chance of saving their
lives in making a confession. The negroes
made no reply.
TWO WERE STRUNG CP SEPARATELY.
They were then told to kneel down and
pray, one did so; the other remained
standing, but both prayed fervently.
The taller negro was then hoisted up.
He remained hanging fully five minutes
before the second one was hanged. The
shorter negro stood gazing at the horrible
death of his brother without flinching.
The mob remained at the place for
about half an hour, when someone
suggested that they go back and
hang the three others. This was opposed
by several, and it was finally decided
that they should go back and take the re
maining brother out to Camp Parapet and
hang him there. The other two were
taken out and flogged, with an order to
get out of tlie parish iu less than half an
hour. The mob then started back to tho
jail to put their threats into execution.
THE THIRD BROTHER HANGED.
The third brother, Paul, was taken out
to the camp, which is about a mile dis
tant in the interior, aud there he was
hanged to a tree, and his body was hang
ing in full view of a morbid crowd during
the day, “as a warning to the negroes
that they cannot go about killing white
people,” as oneof the membersof the mob
put it.
During the search for Julian
on Saturday one branch of
tbo posse visited the house of
a neero family in the neighborhood of
Camp Parapet, and failing to find the ob
ject of their search tried to induce John
Willis, a young negro, to disclose the
whereabouts of Julian. He refused to do
so or could not do so and he was kicked to
death by tlie gang.
EVERYTHING QUIET.
Contradiction of Reports That the
Negroes Were Arming.
New Orleans. Sept. 17.—Chief of Police
Gaster has been appealed to by the white
residents along tlie two principal roads
leading out of tho upper part of the city,
as well as by the pkmtations above the
city and tbe government experimental
station, aslaing for protection and repeat
ing the rumors tiiat the negroes wero
gathering aud were armed and threaten
ing.
Squads of mounted iiolice were sent to
several points where the negroes were re
ported to be gathering, but found every?
thing quiet and the exciting stories un
true. There is no doubt of considerable
excitement among the negroes regarding
tlie last night’s lynching, but no violence
lijis resulted, nor have any whites boeu
ordered to leave tneir homes.
ONLY THEIR OWN FEARS.
A few families living in isolated places
came to Carrollton to gjiend the night,
but this was done on a count of their own
apprehension, rather than on account of
threats made. One of the plantation
owners who appealed for protection,
stated tiiat he did so because he did not
like the threatening attitude of the
negroes, who are largely in the majority
in that section.
EVERYTHING QUIET.
A message which was received from
Southport to-night stated that there was
no trouble at the experimental farm, and
that the negroes at Mr. Bell's place were
in the woods. As fur as could be learned,
there was not an armed force of negroes
found at any of places mentioned. There
was an extra force of police officers de
tailed at the protection lever at Carroll
ton, and some at Southport, to uotify
Chief Uaster in tho event of trouble.
EX-GOV. CAMPBELL.
Ohio's Great Democratic Campaigner
Drops iu on the Capital.
Washington, Sept. 17.—Ex-Gov. James
E. Campbell of Ohio is in town. Two
years ago bo was one of the most talked
of men in the United States. He had in
1889 defeated Gov. Foraker for re-election,
and in 1891 he wag again the candidate of
his party for the gubernatorial office.
Major McKinley, the great protection
champion, was his opponent. Campbell
regarded his chances of election as good,
in spite of the fact that ho turned out of
office certain ring representatives who
were members of the board of public
works of Cincinnati and had thereby in
curred their hostility - and lost the good
will of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the lead -
ing Jemocratio paper of that city and of
southern Ohio. The result is known. He
was defeated. The active opposition of
the Cincinnati rmgsters, the sullen cold
ness of tho Enquirer, which hardly men
tioned iiis name from the beginning of the
campaign to its close, and which omitted
jo report his speeches and his meetings,and
the lukewarmness of Senator Brice and
the other moneyed men of tho party, all
contributed to his defeat. Indeed, long
before election day came around nearly
everybody except Campbell himself had
given up the fight. He, however, is a
good deal of a believer in his destiny, and
never lost faith until the returns came in.
ONCE A PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY.
After the election of 1889 Campbell was
generally regarded as a presidential pos
sibility, and had he beaten McKinley, lie
would hare been looked upon as a presi
dential possibility with an upper case P.
Mr. Campbell was thoroughly loyal to
Mr. Cleveland at Chicago. Ho refused to
permit the Ohio delegation to vote for
himself. He regarded it as a ruse to get
votes away from Mr. Cleveland rather
than a genuine movement in his own
favor. He was widely spoken of as apt
to go in President Cleveland's cabinet,
but he frankly said tie did not
want the honor at this time. He
has felt the power of money in politics, at
least in Ohio politics, and he proposes to
“heel” himself before he enters the polit
ical arena. His prospects for so doing
aro, lam told, very gqod. His presence
reminds me of a conversation I had with
a prominent lawyer of this city, a firm
friend of Campbell, two years ago when
Campbell was here on a flying trip. This
legal friend said:
THERE IS TIME YET FOR HIM.
“In one respect at least Campbell re
sembles Henry Clay. He is consumed
with the desiro to b.‘. and possessed with
the firm belief that he will one day be.
President of the United States. You
cannot shake him in that belief. Shortly
before be was nominated for governor, in
1889, Campbell was iu this city on a mat
ter of business. In conversation with me,
he said: ‘1 am going to bo nominated for
governor.’ I inquired: 'But isn't that an
empty honor?’ ‘Empty! I should say
not!’was his emphatic reply. T will be
nominated and elected as sure as the sun
rises and sets, and, mark you, 1 will bo
re-elected in 1891.’
“Naturally, though with a good deal of
cynicism in my voice, I asked, ‘And what
next?’
“ ‘I will go for bigger game the next
year.’
“You see, his programme was all
marked out.”
Yes, it was marked ouL and rubbed
out, too, for that matter. But Campbell
is young, vigorous, and active of mind as
ever. If he sets out to bag the “bigger
game” of which he spoke, who will say he
has no chance of getting it? Anyway, he
is one of the most interesting figures in
public life, if he can be said to be in public
life now.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Will Terminate on Wednesday Next
Under the Present Order.
Washington, Sept. 17.—The time al
lotted for public hearings before the ways
and means committee will expire next
Wednesday, 20th inst., unless the commit
tee reconsiders its action. There seems
to be a disposition on tho part of the re
publican members of the committee to
continue the hearings indefinitely, but it
is believed that the majority will consent
to no such arrangement. Therefore it
seems probable tiiat the work of prepar
ing anew tariff bill will be commenced
during the coming week.

picturesquely situated in the shadow of
an overhanging bluff. Not a tenth of
those desirous of witnessing the ceremo
nies could find room to enter.
When the procession was formed,
headed by Cardinal Gibbons and Mou
signor Satolli. it was difficult to make a
way for them to the portalsof the sanctu
ary. As the procession marched up the
great central aisle, the choir sang “Ecco
Smcardos,” assisted by tho organ and a
large orchestra. When the chancel rail
was reached the “Hallelujah” chorus by
the choir was sung. Seated rn the throne,
conspicuous by the color of his official
robes, Cardinal Gibbons was surrouuded

seldom brought together.

pressive simplicity and beauty. Such a

ebrant, was infused into his work, auu
the sermon of Archbishop Ryan was a
masterpiece of pulpit oratory. After
tho mass the ceremonies of the
investiture took place. There was thein
vestinent, the oath, the prayers, the con
secration and the benediction, in which
Cardinal Gibbons took a prominent part.
The ceremonies were carried out to the
fulness of every detail and were striking
ly solemn and Impressive.
This evening solemn pontifical vespers
were held, at which the visiting clergy
were present and assisted.
THAT STOLEN BULLION.
Antiquarian Cochran Wouldn’t Crib
Anything But Gold.
Philadelphia, Sept. 17.—1 t is probable
that Henry S. Cochran will bo arraigned
to-niorro*v before the United States com
missioner on the charge of robbing the
Philadelphia mint of $26,576 worth of
gold. Chief inspector of the secret ser
vice, Drummond, went to Washing
ton to-day to get instructions
from Acting Mint Director Preston,
and when he returned to-night he had a
conference with one of the assistants
of the United States district attorney,
Inghun, in reference to gettiug his aged
prisoner a prompt hearing. The witnes
ses of the government will be Chief Drum
mond, Treasury Agent Morgan und As
sistant Chief Weighing Clerk John Z.
Jones of the mint. The government is
not disposed to push the case with any
degree of vigor, but District Attorney
Ingham will ask that Cochran be tuken
-out of the hands of Secret Service inspect
ors Wood and Linden, who now have him
in charge, and put him where he can be
found when wanted.
PASSION STRONG FOR GOLD.
Chief Drummond to-night said that he
was not in a position to definitely say
whether or not the government would
prosecute Cochran, but declared that he
would recommend the abandonment of
the caan in tho event of complete restora
tion tiding made. "He is old and feeble,
and has done good service,” Chief Drum
mond further said, "and I don’t believe
that he is altogether responsible for his
actions. I would trust Cochran with
millions of dollars’ worth of anything
valuable, except gold. It would be safe
to give him control of a vault filled with
greenbacks, for ho would not take a cent
of it. He has handled gold all his life,
and has developed a passion for it which
is too strong to bedescribed. He thought
the government was rien enough without
a few bars, more or less, and he helped
himself to an extent that would make his
declining years happy ones.”
BRIDGE GIVES WAY.
One of the Coaches Follows the Looo
motive, Wounding Four Persons.
New Orleans, Sept 17. —The iron bridge
across Harvey’s canal, above the city,
gave way last night while a train of the
Southern Pacific was passing over,and the
locomotive and tender went through.
One of thecoaches was piled on top of the
wreck. Four persons were injured.
Numbers Drowned in the Flood.
Madrid, Sept. 17.—The bodies of twen
ty-eight jiersons, drowned in the recent
flood at Villacunas were recovered to-day.
Fourteen bodies are known to be in the
cave near the foot of a hill, but cannot be
reached on account of high water. Many
more bodies arc supposed to be in the
ruins of the 800 dwellings, which were
wrecked by the flood.
Bill Will Pass This Week.
New York, Sept. 17.—Senator A. P.
Gorman of Maryland arrived at the Fifth
Avenue hotel to-day from Washington.
He said that he came here on personal
business ouly. Regarding the silver re
peal bill he said he felt confident that it
would pass the Semite by the last of this
week or tlie first of next surely, by Oct.
1 at the latest.

A CRISIS IN LEGISLATION.
The Week Sels in With Both Houses
Blocked in Regular Business.

Resumed Over the Admission of tho
Committee on Elections’ Report;
While in the Sonnte a Like Contest
Will Recur on the Purchasing Clause
Repeal Bill—Republicans Filibus
tering Against Both—But Something
Must Develop In the Week’s Session,
Washington, Sept. 17.— I The seventh
week of the present session of congress
gives promise of great interest. The sit
uation is extraordinary in legislative his
tory, in that both houses are Just now in
a condition where it is impossible to iuako
headway in ttie dispatch of public busi
ness. But if tho present programme is
carried out, this week will witness de
termined efforts on the part of the leader*
in tho Senate aud in the House to break
the spell which has bound congress for so
many days. The first day of the week
will bo practically a dies Don, for con
gress in a body will spend the afternoon
in attendance upon the exercises attend
ing the celebration of the centennial an
niversary of tlie laying of the corner
stone of the capitol.
MANY SPEECHES YET TO BE MAIIB.
So, from a legislative point of view, tho
week will begin on Tuesday. On that
day Senator Mills of Texas is expected to
deliver his oft-posti>oiied speech for
the repeal of the silver-pur
chasing clause of the Sherman
law. The other speeches for the week of
which notice ha* been given will be de
livered by Senator George of Mississippi,
against repeal, on Wednesday ; by Sena
tor Hansbrouph of North Dakota, in tlie
same line, at tlie next convenient oppor
tunity. The silver leaders—Messrs. Tel
ler, Jones and Morgan—also stand ready
to address the Senate whenever there is
an opportunity or necessity for it. No
one can foretell how many of these
speeches, or how many more, will be
heard iu the Senato chamber; for Sena
tor Voorhees has it in mind to renew his
request next Tuesday that a tune ho fixed
for a vote on the bill. ■
AIR. VOORHEESHVILI. AO AIN REQUEST ACTION.
It is not to be supiiosed that ulie expects
that unauiinous consent will be given to
any such arrangement. But tho senator
believes that the time for action has now
come. He lias made that request twice
before, and it has been rejected. J He will
make it again, und it will be rejected.
The senator believes tiiat ho will bo able
to convince the country and tho Senato
that the repeal question is being subject
od to unreasonable delay, and lie will
then ask the majority of thoJSenate to re
main in session almost continuously until
the point of action is reached.
FORCE BILL SITUATION REVIVED.
The result cannot now be foretold, but
if Mr. Voorlioos can command the con
stant attendance and support of forty
three senators committed to the repeal
bill, the history of the week in the Senate
will probably be a repetition of the his
tory of a week of tlie celebrated campaign
against the force bill. The silver men are
fully prepared to meet this phase of tho
case, and may be relied upon to swell tho
Congressional Record to proportions al
most unheard of. The programme of the
House for the coming week is pretty
clearly outlined. Nothing will be dono
to-morrow save to meet at 1:45 o’clock p.
m., and adjourn after prayer and the
reading ot the journul, in accordance with
the resolution accepting the invitation to
participate in atbo exorcises connect ed
with the celebration of the centennial an
niversary of tbelaying of ithe cornerstone
of the eapitoi, which will take place on
the cast front.
ELECTION BILL TUESDAY.
On Tuesday tho democrats, having
then tho quorum of their faith in at
tendance, and voting upon the main ques
tion, the bill to repeal the federal elec
tion laws will bo reported
from tlie commit,te on elec
tion of president, vice-president and
representatives in Congress, and bo
placed on the calendar. As soon as the
bill and accompanying reports can be
printed, Mr. Tucker, who is in charge of
the measure in the absencejif Mr. Fitch,
chairman of the committee, expects to
call them upforconsideration. When the
debate thus begun will end, the future
alone cun determine. The interim be
tween the presentation of the report and
the beginning of the debate may be con
sumed by a further discussion of the bill
to regulate and reform the public print
ing, which has already had one day do
voted to it, and which was blocked last
week by tho struggle over the elections
law repeal bill.
OTHER BILLS IN SIGHT.
It is doubtful however, if the time that
it is expected can be devoted to the print
ing bill will be sufficient to dispose of it.
Much opposition exists to the measure,
and the fate in store for it is believed to
be the same that it met in the last con
gress. It is not probable that the Mc-
Creary Mil to modify tho Geary Chinese
restriction law will come to the front this
week in sucb a way as to command the
attention and consideration of the House.
It will not be reported to the full com
mittee on foreign affairs until the regular
meeting day (Thursday).
MAT GET ON THE CALENDAR.
And even if it be reported to the House
at once, it will probably find the elections
law repeal bill in possession of the right
of way. Gov. McCreary says he will not
undertake to antagonize the repeal bill
with his measure. Doubtless a favorable re
port will be ordered by the commit tee,
and the bill may get on the calendar thu
week. Mr. Geary is the only memb tr 01
the committee who is known to bo op
posed to it.
