The great debate on tho silver
question before House of
Representatives that has
progress since tho assembling of
Congress extraordinary session,
came to a close Saturday
it expiring at that by
arising from tho agreement
that voting on the question should
begin Monday 28th- Under the
five minute rule that prevailed
certain days of last week a great
many of the Representatives
were heard upon tho question.
The closing day was marked with
a battle of the giants, masterly
speeches of an hour each being
made by T. B. Reed, of Maine,
the leader on tho Republican side
of the House, by Burke Cochran,
the great Tammany Democrat of
New York, and by W. L. Wilson,
of West Virginia, the author of
the bill under debate. Mr. Reed
had a great deal of bitter
his speech. Mr-
stood squarely on the Chicago
platform, and Mr. Wilson plead
earnestly for the adoption of his
bill which provides for
repeal of the Sherman bill.
These speeches elicited more in-
than any that were deliver-
ed in the House during the de-
bate. Other members made
speeches of shorter time the same
day.
In Senate branch also
very able speeches on the
silver question were made last
week. Prominent among the
speakers were
of Indiana. Senator Vest, of Mis-
and Senator Hill, of New-
York. The former is author
of the bill before the Senate
which while providing- for the re-
peal of the purchasing

Just how the voting began

surmise. No information as to
what was done Monday or

dispatches

tho following

Houses finds expression as fol-
The vote on the Wilson re-
peal bill will be taken up Monday
in the House and the silver
chase clause of the Sherman law,
as far as that body is concerned,
will be wiped out of existence.
The bill will then go to the Senate
where it will be referred to the
finance committee, which will
promptly pigeon hole it- The
Senate will go right straight along
attacking silver as it has been
doing for several days. It will
do this for two weeks and
longer, before final vote
will be taken. The bill which
will be passed will tho

Then tho bill will go
over to the House. There it will
doubtless be acted upon with
little delay, though there may be
another flood of oratory, because
there is some difference between
the Senate and House measures-
The silver men may insist on
some talk- If there is a prospect
of a contest, however, cloture will
be speedily applied and the bill
be passed and will then be ready
for the Presidents signature.
The bill only differs
from the Wilson bill in making a
declaration favor of
We do hope the question will
be settled wisely to and the best
interest of the greatest number of

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington D. C, Aug.
In addition to the silver debate
in the House this week, which
has been unusually interesting,
two great financial speeches were
made by democratic Senators,
one by Senator on Tues
day, and the other by Senator
Hill, to-day. Both of these Sen-
are friends of Silver and
both of them favor the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man Silver law as the best method
of tho way for other
legislation dealing with silver as
money.
There was a sharp debate in
the Senate this week, for a few
minutes, over the question of
whether a resolution offered by
Senator of the
Secretary of the Treasury as to
the action of national banks in
large cities in refusing to cash
upon presentation checks of de-
should be disposed of
at once or be referred to the
committee. Trouble was
avoided by a demand for the

where it will to await its turn
unless sooner taken up by a vote
interview with the President.
Hints have also been received
here that certain New York
banks have been profiting
largely by the sale of currency
at a premium, which has been go-
in that city. It will not
be surprising if there is some
very plain talk in Congress about
tho national banking system as
at present conducted before long.
Senator devoted a part
of his speech to it, and there will
be others heard from as soon as
finances get a little steadier.
Without disparagement to the
Democrats who held important
committee chairmanships the
last House, it can be said that
Speaker Crisp has in the new
chairmen selected who are
generally credited with being
peculiarly well fitted to perform
tho duties with which they have
been Hon. W. Wilson,
of West the new chair-
man of tho Ways and Means
committee, has been a student
and advocate of reform
not only since he has been a
member of the House but also
long before he entered public
life. He is thoroughly master
of the subject, and the tariff bill,
upon his committee will at
once get to work, promises to be
a model of its kind- Hon. Joseph
S. Sayers, of Texas, the chairman
of the committee on
has been a prominent
of that committee for years,
and no higher praise can be given
his abilities than to say that he
has long been spoken of as the
Sam. Randall of that committee,
in his methods of work and
grasping of the salient
points of all subjects that come
before the committee. Mr.
Springer, of Illinois, who was
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee in the last House, is
now at tho head of the committee
Banking and Currency, which
will play no small part in the leg
of the present House, and
Mr- Holman, who was of
the Appropriations committee, is
now at the head of the committee
on Indian Affairs, where his work
will be much lighter, a
that his age made important.
The number of disappointments is

There has been some talk this
week about the probability of the
extra session coming to a close
before tho first of October, but
the most experienced legislators
will not express an opinion as to
the length of the session until
something more is known
about the probable length of time
the Senate will take to dispose of
tho bill for the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man law. The House will not
necessarily be idle after it

Johnson's bill providing
for an exchange of U. S- bonds
for currency, at the option of tho
holder of the bonds, the interest
on which will cease so long as
tho currency is retained, will

soon after the silver vote is
taken, and tho same committee
may also report a bill for the re

Saturday's dispatches predicted a
storm for the southern coast region on
Sunday night, and it was on time.
Greenville got up morning to
find a strong east wind blowing that
had started the night before, and an
occasional shower fell during the
morning. In the afternoon the wind
shifted around to the but kept up
its force. About o'clock rain came
down torrents for half an hour, the
fall during the short time measuring

Something unusual about Monday's
cast wind is that it blew the water up

of three or more. Information re-

into some of the streets and buildings
of the town. Telegraph wires were
blown down so that no further tidings
could be had during the day.

Tobacco men should not fear
to come East One of the great
draw backs that our eastern mar-
have had to contend with in
securing good tobacco men of ex-
to our eastern
towns is the fear of malarial
typhoid fever. When Eastern
North Carolina first began to
grow tobacco there was of course
a demand for men of experience
to come h ere and show how the
work should be done. The first
two or three years that tobacco
was grown in Pitt county the
of course was small and the
acreage very limited and hence
were but few tobacco men down
here and we don't remember a
single instance where any of them
suffered any inconvenience from
the change of atmosphere. One
instance particularly we have in
mind. first
man was Mr. J. T. Seat For
the first three mouths he was
most miserable and every ache
and pain that ho had were of
course of chills and
fever but he managed to tough it
out and by the end of the first
year he had become so accustom-
ed to our eastern that he
was to give it up, but failing
the Greenville market and our
customers, knowing that unless
we paid as much for tobacco as
other markets it would be
to establish a market here.
And while these market are
anything else but correct and
nearly always gives overrated
prices, yet under the
stances and for the lack of a more
perfect system of market reports
they are the best that can be ob-
unless visits in person or
shipments to the market are made.

The Court of Honor at the world's
fair is the center of architectural in-
whether seen by morning,
sunset or electric evening light, and
the most conservative spectator can-
not restrain his enthusiasm when
this glorious sight first meets his
eyes. The court surrounds the
I great basin and is bounded on the
north, west and south by the build-
of Manufactures and Liberal
Arts and by the Administration and
the Agricultural buildings
while across the eastern end
runs the magnificent Grecian
with its four rows of columns
one hundred and fifty feet high,
midway by a noble arch
mounted by a the columns
adorned by eighty-five allegorical
figures which stand out bravely
against the blue waters of Lake
Michigan and the bluer sky above.
At the western end of the court
rises the grand gilded dome of the
Administration building and direct-
in front of it the
fountain, so-called from the
artists who planned it. The
central figure of the fountain is a

Every railroad has an officer called
the purchasing agent, who buys all
the articles that are constantly
needed. Ho has nothing to do with
buying the locomotives or cars or
rails; it is only tho things
that ho has to spend sometimes
a year for.
On the 1st of each month tho
head of each department and every
station agent what is called a
requisition upon the purchasing
agent for the supplies that they will
need for that month; that is, they
make out a list of the articles and
send it to headquarters. The
chasing agent looks over all these
lists, audits them, as it is called,
and strikes out some of the items
when he thinks that too much has
been asked for. When the list is cut
down to what he thinks is right ho
puts his initials upon it, and it is
sent to one of tho principal officers
of the road, who also approves it.
When it comes back to the
agent approved, ho sends an
order to the supply department and
the goods are shipped to their
The variety of things that tho
chasing agent has to buy is shown

kegs of nails, envelopes,

Young People.
Senator Stanford and Womankind.
Senator Stanford attested in two
notable instances the high regard
in which he held womankind. His
respect for woman in general he re-
corded by giving her equal rights
with men in Stanford university.
His regard for her in particular ho
showed by his will, in which the
great bulk of his fortune was left ab-
to his wife. A great many
people interested, some of them
vitally, to sec whether these two
important actions will work together
for good. Practically Mr. Stanford
bequeathed Stanford university to
his wife. It is true he left the
about two millions and a
half, but that is far from being
a large enough sum to keep the in-
running on the scale on
which it is conducted now. Happily
Mrs. Stanford's interest in it has
ways been quite as lively as her
husband's. Yet it has happened be-
fore now that man and wife who
have been one so long as both have
lived, have turned out to a differ-
one after the man has died. It
is a fact, and a pretty solemn to
the university, that the huge Stan-
ford property has changed hands,
and that the disposition its in-
come will be subject to new
the bent of which cannot
be predicted. Harper's

Electricity as a Purifier.
Electricity seems to be coming
prominently to the front for use in
purification processes. It has been
successfully introduced in France
and England for purifying sewage,
and if worked with a refuse
tor, in which the beat can be used
for generating the current, it is
thought it be found not only
more satisfactory, but more
than existing methods.
In Germany an electrolytic process
for purifying mercury for use in
very accurate work is coming
into general use, A near

is also reported, by

qualities of the product can be
treated so that they

ozone by electrical action are also well
known. In fact, it seems as if the
electric current were destined to
play a very important part in the
sanitary engineering of tho future.
SINGING MICE.
Their Voices Are Clear and the
They Quito Interesting.
It is u fact that mice can and often
do sing. A writer in La Nature
tells of two singing mice which he
observed for several months. One
mouse learned to sing from a canary,
but tho other was taught by its
companion. A correspondent of For-
est and Stream, writing from
tells of his observation of a
singing
One Monday evening, as I sat read-
by tho fire, I heard what I at
first thought was a boy passing
along the street, imitating the war-
of a canary bird. Presently,
however, I discovered that the noise
was not in the street, but in the
room where I was sitting, and fur-
that it was mad by a mouse.
Tho fellow was evidently
upon a foraging expedition, and was,
if one might judge from his song, as
light-hearted as the canary whom ho
so perfectly imitated.
I listened in wonder, and then
proceeded to arouse my family, who
had retired, telling them that I
wanted them to hear what they hod
never heard, and what they might
never have an opportunity of hear-
again.
The fellow seemed very tame,
and for upward of an hour played
around my feet, and at hide and
seek my chair, and then,
probably thinking that it was
to be in bed, vanished.
I listened very attentively during
the whole time to see if the singing
might attributable to any disease
of an asthmatic nature, but the tones
were as clear as those of a bird, and,
from the fact that the song was in-
I to tho conclusion
that sang because he wanted
to, and not because he could not
help it.
Damage by Lightning.
During the year 1891 two
and five lives were lost
know in the United States,
of tho Rocky mountains, directly
through the action of lightning.
How many were lost indirectly, and
how many cases there were of shat-
health more or less per-
injury, can only surmise.
Tho financial duo directly to
lightning was certainly not below
one and a half million dollars. To
get at something like a commercial
estimate of tho damage done by
lightning in tho past few years, in
this country, I made of tho
Chronicle fire tables for tho six
years 1885-1890, and find that some
twenty-two hundred and twenty-
three fires, or 1.3 per cent, of the
whole number, caused by
lightning, and the total loss was
or 1.25 per cent, of tho
whole amount lost by fire. During
1892 we have a record of two
and ninety-two lives lost. The
damage may be estimated at as high
a figure as in 1891. These losses
the more appalling when we recall
that the year is virtually less than
six months. Over ninety-five per
cent, of the casualties due to light-
occur between the months of
April and September. It is there-
fore quite pertinent at this time to
discuss the question whether or not
we able to protect ourselves
from lightning. Some five years ago
the question would have been an-

The Dog's Sense
It has often been proved that
dogs are to track their masters
through crowded streets where it
would be impossible to attribute
their accuracy to anything except
the of smell alone. A
once made interesting
experiments as to this power as ex-
in his own dog. In these
tests the naturalist found that his
dumb friend could follow in tho
tracks of his master, though he was
far out of sight, and that, too, after
no less than eleven persons had fol-
lowed, stepping exactly in
made by his master, it being the de-
liberate intention to confuse the
senses of the dog if possible. Fur-
experiments proved that the
animal tracked the boots instead of
the man, for when the naturalist
put on new the dog failed
entirely.
