1 Tbe Elections BUI 8U11 the Theme.
Shrewd Observers Claim That Hoar Will
be Left When the Vote Is Taken—Action
of the Son them States In Reference to
the World’s Fair.
Washington, Jan. 26.—The senate
promise to make history this week.
Tlie cloture rule showed up Monday
morning as unfinished business, and it is
expected that a vote will be reached not
later than Wednesday. The programme
of the majority is altogether a matter of
speculation, and Hoar’s party rely on
him if the rule is passed.
It will require a majority to call up
the elections bill, upon’ this motion when
the decisive vote will occur. There are
plenty of politicians, shrewd observers
of affairs, who offer odds that Hoar will
be unhorsed on the vote. This elass are
counting on the votes of Farwell, Staf
ford, Washburne and Plumb added to
those who .have all along stood with the
Democrats.
Tlie signified action of7p$'ithern states
in refusing to appropriate money to
nirke exhibits at the World’s fair has
had a good effect, although a desperate
effort lias been made to discredit these
warnings.
The house business is in such a condi
tion that it is impossible to say what will
occur from day to day. The naval ap
propriations bill was under considera
tion Saturday, and it may hold its own
for a day or two. The Republican lead
ers in the house are greatly woraied over
the condition of these appropriation
measures. All but two of them are on
tlie calendar, hut the Democrats are not
disposed to work until the pending sen
ate matters are brought to a finale.
The silver bill lias made no progress in
the, committee. Tliere is a strong prob
ability that an effort will be made to dis
charge the committee from its further
consideration ami bring it direct before
the house.
AN INFAMOUS BILL CRUSHED.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Another vio
lent outbreak occurred in the house only
a moment ago. Blount, Bland and
Springer headed a revolt against one of
Reed’s autocratic decisions shutting off
debate, and for a while great confusion
obtained.
Blouut, usually a conservative mem'
ber, denounced Reed’s action as oppres
sive and unfair, and the other speakers
were more emphatic and less elegant in
their denunciations.
The coup d’etat by which the clot*'
rule was laid aside was quietly arra* <
between Gorgan, Teller, Stewart? £
eron and Washburn. It’s a grerp £t
ry, and tlie whole south has goc° <5son
to rejoice.

Story of It’s Defeat In the Senate
—Great Excitement Prevailed.
Atlanta, Ga.,Jan.26.—(Special).—
The Force Bill is dead.'
To-day was one of intense excite
ment in Washington. Cameron drove
nail into the coffin witli his vote;
Stanford aided in its defeat by being
absent; Walcott and the other republi
cans Reserve great credit.
The story of this excitiDg day is
brifly told.
This illuming Mr. Morgan resumed
the floor and continued his
argument, begun on Saturday, agip'nst
the proposed rule and to election bill,
both of which unasures he claimed to
be for the advancement of Harrison’s
project for re-election.
HE YIELDS THE Floor.
At 12 o’clock Mr. Walcott asked Mr.
Morguu to yield the floor to hiiu so that
he might move to take up the apportion
ment bill
Mr. Morgan said that lie would do so
although he was at very interesting
poiqt of his speech, which he trusted
he would never have the opportunity to
resume.
Walcott then made the motion and
Dolph moved to lay it on the table. A
point of order was made against the
-latter motion on the democratic side ol
the house, but the presiding officer, Mr.
Platt, overruled it and said that motion
was in order.
GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILS.
Vote was proceeded with amid great
excitement, and wild confusion, mixed
with considerable ill-feeling in relatiou

didn’t like his yoke fellow.
Mr. Dtniels said that he had been
paired with Sir. Sijhire, but as he was
informed by senator from California,
‘Mr. Stanford,” was in favor of
proceeding with business, he would
transfer Squire pair to Stanford and
would himself vote.
ALDRICH VEHEMENTLY OBJECTS
Aldrich strenously objected to pro
posed transfer and insisted that there
was no authority for it. Stewart
admitted that he had no direct authority
to pair Stanford with Senator in favor,
of proposed rule but said Stanford told
him before leaving city for New York
that he was in favor of taking up
apportionment bill.
OX THE CONTRARY.
Aldrich asserted on the contrary that
Stanford had told him distinctly on sev
eral occasions that he was in favor

reading of bill,and report continued un
till 3 o’clock. The bill was then laid
aside till tomorrow at 2 o’clock, when
it will come up as unfinished business.
THE QUESTION TO AMEND JOURNAL.
The next question was on Ur. Gor
man’s motion to amend journal of
Tuesday by striking out the words “It
was determined in the affirmative,” ami
it was agreed to without dissent, and
then the journals of Tuesday and
Wednesday were approved.
HOW THE NEWS W AS RECEIVED IN ATHENS
The news of the daath of the force
bill kept the wires hot last night. It
spread like wild fire and the citizens in
dulged in the mos enthusiastic express
ions of gratification at the deatu of this
iniquitous measure.
OX THE CAMPUS.
The students went wild in their dem
onstrations of rejoicing and painted the
cam; ns red in a literal sense. A glori
ous boiiflie was built in honor of this
igmil event and the boys gathered
around it and voiced their gladness in'
song improvised by some campus
bard.
DR. BOGGS’ ADDRESS.
’Dr. Boggs, when called on to
address the boys responded in an
eloquent effort. lie said that
he sincerely hoped that tlia defeat of
this measure was the precursor to a bet
ter state of feeling, lie dwelt wi;h
noiicibie emphasis an the restoration
of more confidence between the two
sections so lately convulsed with strife
and said that he believed the defeat of
the Lodge bill meant the dawn of a
brighter era. Dr. Boggs’ address was
listened to with undivided attention by
the a-einblage ot student; and he was
applauded to the echo.
WHAT A PROMINENT FINANCIER SAYS t
“The defeat of the recent bayonet
measure means the restoration of a lone
of confidence in tke world of finance.
L'lte money stringency will materially
relax in a short time and merchants
and gold-bugs at the north who have
been eyeing the south askance will in
vest their idle capital in fields of enter
prise here”.
A WAVE OF REJOICING.
Everybody was delighted at the result
and gloried in the big bl. c : eye it gave
to Hoar, the old fossil xanatic oi the
senate. Expressions of approval floated
around everywhere and men congre
gated in groups to discuss it. I'he
death of this revolutionary measure re
moves a dark cloud from one horrizon
and shows that the noith and south are
gradually becoming knitted together
in the bonds of mutual syuipattiies and
mutual interests.

the usual high cost of the books preventing people in moderate circumstances from enjoviDg
this luxury. But now, owing to the use of modem improved printing, folding and stitching
machinery, the extremely low price of white paper, and the great competition in the book
trade, we are enabled to offer to our subscribers and readers a set of Dickens’ works at a

of the great author’s works. *
