SILYLE BILL DEBATE FA1ELI BEGDX rrnoM a STArr coebesfonxeht.i Wa&hington, Jan. 6. Naturally enough the shelving of the elections bill yesterday was the supreme subject of gossip at the Capitol to-day. While there was a great deal of elation among the Democrats, which stroncly argued that they looked on the bill as one which would do injury to their party, there was less bitterness among bulnart Republicans against the bolting Senators than one would have expected in such circumstances. Those who accuse Stewart, Teller and their adherents of bad laith, party treason, conspiracy with the Democrats to defeat the elections bill, and other evil things are met with the counter assertions that the first conspiracy was that of Sherman, Hoar, Edmunds and others to defeat by means oi the elections bill, all silver legislation which is demanded by the rank and file of the whole country, and only opposed by Wall street bankers and their' sympathizers. One fact nobody who defended the elec tions bill was able to dispute, and that is that ample time has been given for the passage of the elections bill, and that not one practical step has ever been taken to bring the discussion to a close. Even after the cloture amendment was reported no attempt was made to bring it up for discus sion, but it was proposed to continue on the old lines for a while to see if the Democrats would not some day, or some night, kindly give way and allow a vote on a bill against which they had in private and in public declared war to the last gasp; and it was also bravely decided to told another caucn, after haviDg held half a dozen caucuses within a month, at none of which a genuine - attempt was made to devise anr practicable plan lor passing the elections bill. A Waiting; Tollcy Bulncd Them. When it became clearly evident that after nil the promises of the managers of the bill that prompt action would be taken this week, they were still determined to pursue the policy of waiting for something to turn 'ip, or of deliberate delay for a secret par pose, the silver men determined on their tensatinnal coup. It is learned that at the cancu last night, it an assemhlv of two dozen Republican Senators out of 51 could be called a caucu, it ws generally ad mitted the elections bill had received its death-blow. Notwithstanding the talk of a speedy vote on the financial raeasur; no one really ex pects a disposal of it ineii.; of two week. That will leave onlv six weeks of the ses sion, and there will he the appropriation and oilier necessary bills to enact, which will occupy the remainder of the time. Eren if it xrerc again brought before the Senate to pass, the elections measure would require the same improved parliamentary machinery which it has been impossible to procure, and its advocates would he as powerless as'before. The President is Disgusted. It is said by friends ot the President that while he is verv much disgusted at wasting so much good ammunition in his message in regxrd to the elections bill, he blames the managers f the measure more than he does the wild Western mustangs who took the bits in their teeth and ran away Irom their party and their President. But, as one said to-day, "if the President knew a way out ot the hole.whv did not he suggest it to Grand lather Hoai?" Senator Cameron is very indignant, and shows it more than he usuallv does any emotion, at the charge already published in Pennsylvania newspaper, that he was in the "conspiracy." He declares that he was as much surprised as either Hoar or Edmunds at the action of Senator Stewart. Seoator Quay pronounces a similar charge against himselt too contemptible to notice. He had not had the faintest intimation that any such movement was contemplated. A number of persons outside of the silver Senators now declare that they knew of the intended coup last week. Among these is George Jones, the famous head, body and tail of the Green back party. George says he knew all about it, and is astonished that net one of the watchlul and penetrating journalists of the row "caught on to it;" but everybpdy knows that if George had known it the whole row would have known it. It may be accepted as absolutely accurate that no one except Stewart, Teller, Jones and Woicott of the Republicans, and Gorman of the Democrats knew of the trick contemplated previous to Monday nnruing. Bitterness Ot cr the Financial Bill. It is expected that a great deal of aorimon v will crop out in the debate on the financial bill. The good feeling between the silver and the anti-silver men in not enhanced by the i rilliant and successful strategy ot yes terday, and not a little ill humor lias al ready shown on the surface. Senator Teller's declaration to-day, speaking to Senator Sherman, that "in certain sections of the country where the almighty dollar was all- powerful, and where the grossest ignorance existed upon financial questions, save upon questions of discount and exchange, he (Sherman) -was a financial oracle," is a specimen of the stinging personalities which may be expected. It is confidently expected that some kind of free coinage measure mil become a law. In the House nnnv ot the Republicans who voted against the Senate free coinage amend ment to the financial bill of last session have been sorely chastened bv the late elections, and literally pummeled into a condition of pro und respect for the fanning clement, which is almost universally in favor of free coinage ot silver. It may therefore be assumed that a tree coinage bill has at least a much better show for enactment than it had last session. Senator Teller Explains. Senator Teller, in his opening remarks upon the financial bill, re 'erred to the long time that had been spent in considering the elections bill, the importance of which he .did not question. Yesterday, with a full knowlcdje of all the criticism his action 'would bring, but with a full consciousness, however, that be was in the discharge of his duty as he saw it, he had voted to lay that bill aside and take up the present measure. He denied that the friends of free coinage had entered into an alliance with the opponents of the elections bill for its defeat. Tnere never was a more unfounded slander published than this. If the elections bill was such an important question, demanding the undivided action of the Senate on the 1st of December, it was an equally import ant question last July, when it was laid aside by the friends of'the measure in order that tha economic question .night be con sidered Mr. Teller then proceeded to criticise Mr. Sherman's speech, which he declared con sisted of nothing hut assertion as to what . would follow the passage of the pending 1.111 Whn Mr Toll k.J MMnAtJ.J -ftr- Sherman said he would reply Jit some other .,... -. ... -..

Heavy Taxes to Be Imposed Upon Those Who Soil Futures on the Products of the Soil Speculators Expected to Oppose the Measure With Bitterness. trnoscA STJurrconnisroxoEXT. Washinoton, Jan. 6. Representative Enloe, o! Tennessee, offered a resolution to day instructing the Committee on Rules to set apart a day for the consideration of what is known as the Butterworth option bill, which was favorably reported last session by the Committee on Agriculture. It is prob able the bill would have been passed at the last session had not Representative Mason, of Chicago, filibustered so persistently against the compound lard bill as to waste the time 'given to bills from the committee men tioned. Owing-to the amazing inroads into the old parties made by the farmers' organizations, it is probable that the House and Senate will be somewhat anxious to pass the bill, and for this reason Mr. Ealoe's resolution will, so The Dispatch correspondent is informed, probably be speedily and favor ably considered by the Committee on Rules, and a day set apart for bills Irom the Com mittee on Agriculture with the understand ing that this bill be taken up. This pros pect makes the measure of vast importance to the country, and the representatives of the dealers in options and futures may be expected on hand and fill the lobbies of the Capitol, as they did at the last session. The bill imposes a tax ot $1,000 on dealers in -wheat, corn, oats, cotton, pork and other farm products, and it is contemplated to amend by adding oil, stocks, etc. It imposes a further tax of 5 cents per pound and 20 cents a bushel upon articles which arc the subject of such sales under options or futures. The intention of the bill is clearly defined, that it applies not to legitimate dealers, farmers', actual purchasers or sellers, and so on, but to the gentlemen of the bucket shop, grain pit and bnll ring, -who do not know whether potatoes grow on trees or Indian corn under the ground. The report accompanying the bill makes the following interesting explication of the vexed question: It is not the object of the proposed law, nor will its effert be to improperly interfere with the prosecution of any legitimate in dustry or avocation which adds to the supply of the things needful, or aids in the dis tribution of supplies, or in anywise con tributes to the stock of usclul knowledge in matt-rs of production or the better utiliza tion of what is produced. But obviously those who deal in "options" and "future" contracts, which is mere gambling, no mat ter by what less offensive name such trans actions may be designated, neither add to the supply nor increase the demand for con sumption, nor do tfaevaccomplisb any useful purpose by their calling; but on the con trary, they speculate in fictitious products. AVbile the farmer labors from day to day, contending -with flood and drought to pro duce his crop, and by reason of its small value when produced, is compelled to deny himself and family the needful comforts ot life, the producers of this other, a competing crop this crop of mere wind find all "sea sons summer," and "toil not, neither do they spin," and jet gather a golden harvest. Once the Farmers' Alliance is informed there is a chance for this bill they will make a tremendous effort to force its passage, and a great fight between them and the specula tion element will be begun. BOOHING JUDGE ACHESON. Strong Delegation ot Plttshurgers to Present His Merits. .SPECIAL TELEOKAK lO TUX niSPATCK.1 Washington, Jan. 6. A delegation of distinguished Pittsburgers representing the Bar Association of Allegheny county arrived .here this eyjeniagf -torthe purpose of railing on the President in the interest cf Judge Acheson's appointment as the successor of Jndge McKennan on the bench ot the Circuit Court, District of Pennsyl vania, Delaware and New Jersey. The committee formally appointed by the Bar Association, .Messrs. Ueorge bhiras, Jr., William. B. Negley. C. W. Rohb and George H. Christy, arrived - early in the evening, and have rooms at the Arlington. A little later Mr. Sol Schoyer made his appearance, having come on from New York, where he had been on professional business. Messrs. D. T. Watson and Will iam Scott, and probably others, are ex pected in th? morning, and this eminently influential party will call during the day on the President to urge the appointment of Judge Acheson. Within a day or two a delegation is expected representing the bar of Philadelphia to press the appointment of Mr. Ilollmgsworth, ol that city. It is said that Howard Reeder, of EssteD, has been indorsed by Senators Cameron and Quay, and that Attorney General Kirkpatrivk, of the same city, has the influence of Governor Beaver and Congressman Stone. As the district is larger than Pennsyl vania, however, all indorsements will be es teemed by the President, it is said, of rather a personal than an official nature, and will not feel that he is "turning dpwn" anybody should he happen to appoint someone other than a candidate indorsed by the Senators, Representatives or other officials of any one ot the States interested. MISSISSIPPI LEVEES. Gen. Comstock, of the- Commission, Thinks They Aro Necessary. Washington, Jan. 6. The House Com mittee on Improvement of Levees of the Mississippi River began a hearing on the subject of levees tnis morning and examined General Comstock, of the Mississippi River Commission. He did not think the United States snould undertake building levees where bluffs were near at hand, nor did he believe in narrow levees Of the levees built near the banks since 1880, 25 per cent have caved into the river. The levees should be put where they would he safe. He thought it possible to. construct levees that would restrain the.watersjrithin 5,000 feet, but he was not certain this would re sult in scouring out the rivets. It would, he thought, deepen the channel where it was already deep, but on the longitioal reaches like Piuui Point, he didn't belief the bars would he scoured out. t To Mr. Blanchard, General Comstock said there was no difference of npiiiiou-iu the commission as to the necessity of levees to prevent floods. Sirfce the commission bad taken hold of the river, the amount ex pended by the United States oil levees had been a little over $3,000,000 and the amount spent bv the States and riparian owners about 5700,000. " CANNOT BE COINED. The Men With the Silver Are, Not Success ful at Washington Washington, Jan. 6 Messrs.

Director Leach replied to them, sustain ing the action of the superintend! superintendent, and aid: "The only anthority of law for the receipt of the silver bullion at the mints of the United States forcoinage into silver dollars is that contained in the act of July"14, 1890. "At the date you presented the bar of silver at the Mint at Philadelphia, the Superintendent was instructed by the de partment to pay SI 0314 per fine ounce for silver offered for sale, corresponding to the market urice. If he had received tbe bar of silver for coinage ihto silver dollars for your benefit, he would hare paid at the rate of J $1 29.29 per fine ounce, which would have been in violation of law and Instruction of the department.

WHY THE EFFICIENCY OF THE NAVY HAS NOT BEEN IMPBOVED. Sailors Should Be Treated as Fairly as Are the Soldiers Many Xeaie the Service Because It Offers Them No Induce ments For an Honorable Career. :srZCIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, Jan. 6. Reent propo sitions to improve the efficiency of the navy and to introduce reforms that would attract Americans to serve their flag afloat have met with the most violent opposition from those who appear to have no conception of the requirements of modern naval warfare, and who are totally .indifferent or blind to the vital effects at present existing. The methods of the past have resulted most dis astrously. About 95 per cent of the young American apprentices and a very large per centage of the trained seamen gunners leave the navy beciuse it offers no proper career. Quite" recently a respectful, and dignified petition has been quietly circulated among the war ships. It is addressed to Secretary oftheNavv Tracy and is signed bv men from the United States steamers Philadel phia, Yantic, Vermont, Dale, Minnesota, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and Yorktown and will soon bear the signatures of men on all other ships in the service. The petitiou says among other things: We earnestly deplore the statements and in sinuations recently published that American citizens are not so subordinate and trustworthy as foreigners, and that they cannot lie dis ciplined and attracted to rerve their flag afloat. On the contrary, we humbly snbmlt that the concessions for which we pray would, if granted, bring the naral service into successful competition with the civil Itrades that offer ample rewards to manliness and ability. Men would enter the navy with the idea of. remain ing, and the result would be a corps of natur alized citizens American bine Jackets serv ing loyally and with enthusiasm. The conces sions fur which we petition have already been proposed by bnirds of officers or in recent dis cussions by officers." Briefly, they are as follows: That the seamen may be paid S30 per month; that the pay of combatant petty officers may be increased; that the rasol "Gun CaptalV and such other rates as may be necessary be created with pay of $50 per month: that Gnn Captains may have the same position and responsibility In the navy as the non-commissioned officers in the army, and.that petty officers may not be disrated ex cent by sentence of a court martial. Regarding the presence of marines on board ship, we earnestly disclaim any intention of speaking with disrespect or resentment. While they remain.afloat it is onr duty to accept the situation and we condemn all attempts to create corps dissection or to injure efficiency. But we consider it our duty to ourselves as well as to the service, to petition for the withdraw ai of the marines iroc service afloat. We feel that the marines stand between us and the officers in many wjsys, thereby denying us po sitions of honor and responsibility, and carry ing the imputation that we are not trust worthy. ( . CROWDING OUT SHALL FRY. Deal Between the Adams and American Express Companies. ISrFCIAL TELEQUAM TO THE OtSPATCH.1 Boston, Jan. 6. The express business centering about Boston has been given a severe shaking up by a movement by the Adams end American Express Companies to play into each others hands. The New England territory, as covered by the two companies, is divided in a rough way by the line of the Boston and Albauy Railroad, the territory north being covered by the American and the Adams serving the southern part. The Adams Express Ocm pany used to exchange northern hnsiness with the United States and Canada and the Eastern Express Companies, which operated in upper New Hampshire, Vermon: and Maine. The American bought those two lines out and then began to extend its territory. The Adams kept on exchanging goods to and from the points as originally, exchanging with the old local companies, however, rather than the new opponent, the Ameri can. The present deal is the taking of this exchange business away from these smaller concerns in favor of the larcer. The move ment extends wherever the tTO great liuesJ run. xne pian was lormulated and per fected in New York. It is given in explana tion of the movement that people east of Boston "can now ship their goods through on one way bill, doing away with the com plaints of two charges and other attendant bother.

Republican State Central Committee brought an im mense number of politicians here. 'Gov ernor Steele, of Oklahoma, formerly of Marion, was here, and he, with Warfen G. Sayre, ex-Speaker of the House, and the President's son, Russell, were iu charge of the administration's interests. Late this afternoon the' fight over the reorganizition narrowed down to a struggle between the administratiouitts and the anti-administra-tionists. .The former won. If the com mittee could have met free from the in fluence of the Federal office holders, Marcus R. Sulzer, of Madisou, would .probably have been elected chairman, and the political machinery in Indiana would not have been pledged'to the use of President Harrison lor another term. But tlrat,was not possible.. Those who arc nnder obligations began coining in early to-day and by noon th administration pressure was so great that the chances of Mr. Sulzer, or any other man who would not pledge himself to Harrison for re-election, began to rapidly glide away. Just alter noon the committee held a con ference, and, by a small majority, decided to make John R. Gowdy, of, Rushville, chairman, in case Mr. Jlichener tendeied his resignation, which it was understood he bad done.by telegraph. Mr. Gowdy has been Auditor of Rnsh county for eight years, and is a Republican of the radical school. He has been lor some time a member of the Executive Committee ot the State Central Committee, and is denominated a hustler. The triends of Mr. Sulzer were much displeased with the treatment that gentleman received. Gowdy was Michener's choice and it means that Harrison is a candidate for another term. v SUING FOB DIVORCE.

Among the statements in said book, which impugn tbe doctrine of the Virgin birth of our Lord are the following, to wit: (P. 219.) "All the earliest narratives or our Lord's lire and.teacuings fail to furnish us. even approximately, satisfactory proof of the Virgin birth but the evidence ad ducible rather seems to favor the view that Joseph was tbe father of Jesu. The story of the Virgin born, as it stands in the Gospel, is o improbable, and the evi denco supporting it is so uncertain that criti. cism cannot accept u. Aiuuu tue suumueuis in said 'book which impugn the doctrine of our Lord's resurrection on the third day aro the following, to-wit: The earliest tradition cou cerning'Christ's resurrection simplv teaches that it was a spiritual appearance. He showed himself in spirit to tbe Apostles. And this was not a subjective hallucination of theirs, but a real objective manifestation of thu spirit of Jesus from the unseen sphere. Aronnd this kernel-gradually grew the husky narra tives of the gospel, whose antborship is so un certain, whose concentions are so grossly ma terialistic, so Inconsistent with tbe conceptions of tbe unseen sphere, which scientific theology forces upon ns that we must set them aside as valueless. - Specification 2 The Stanulng Committee be lieve that the Rev.

Aurora is interested from the fact that Charles Rood, chief owner of the Aurora Watch Factory, has been lor some time a he-vy creditorof Mr. Dueber.

The President Can Give So Explanation and the Castler Won't. AS EX-CODX'CILIIASGETS 0TEK 100,000 SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Baltisiobe, Jan. 6. When ex-Councilman H. Webster Crowl. who had been so extensively engaged in suburban land spec ulation, failed a few months ago, owing several hundred thousand dollars, there was at first a general expression of sympathy. Little by little, however, Mr. Crowl's meth ods of raising money became known. People who had been losers began to compare notes and their comparisons were not very favor able toward Mr. Crowl's methods. It was only last Monday afternoon, at a meeting of the stockholders of the Franklin Bank, of which Charles J. Baker is the President, tbat those present learned from Mr. Baker that Mr. Crowl had overdrawn bis account on that bank to. about $100,000. Tbe announcement created great astonish ment. Further than this the bank holds Mr.Crowl'spaper to an extent that increases his indebtedness to the bank to 8119,000. Curiosity was awakened to know how tbe cashier, Emory Gardner, a man who stood high in church and business circles, had permitted it and also how it could have been accomplished without the knowledge of the President, Charles J. Baker, and the directors. The Crowl shortage and the re tirement of the cashierMr. Gardner, were not alluded to in the report given out at tbe stockholders' meeting Monday evening. The Cashier Was Blamed. Mr. George, who is President of the Traders' National Bank, presided at the meeting. President Baker, iu his report to the stockholders, said that the hank had met with reverses on account of the incapacity and. untrnstwnrtliiness of its cashier to the extent of 119,000 in allowing Crowl to overdrew his account. Tne bank's surplus of some 50,000 was gone, and the 97,264 U7 charged in the bank report of January 3, 1891, to the profit and loss account is all loss. The capital stock, which was 320,000, had been impaired to the extent of one third. President Baker then explained the manner in which Cashier Gardner had paid out the large amount. It was claimed that the cashier falsified the returns to the Presi dent and directors,. and the books which would have shown the large overdrafts by Crowl were always in use in one way or another when inquiry was made for them. Gardner, it was stated, always kept the deposit line less than it actually was to the amount of Crowl's overdrafts. How Crowl Overdrew His Account. Between the dates of September 20 and 27 of last year, shortly betore Urowl s failure, the latter got 27,000 by overdratt from the bank. Most of these overdrafts were made by checks signed by Crowl, payable to his order and cashed at other banks. They reached tbe Franklin Bank through the Clearing House in the regular order of business and were never rejected by Cashier. Gardner to far as is known. Bookkeeper Tschudi, of the Franklin Bank, is Mr. Gardner's brother-in-law. It was said at the meeting that when Mr. Tschudi would call Cashier Gardner's atten tion to the fact that Mr. Crowl had again overdrawn his account, Mr. Gardner would reply: "That's all right. I understand it." There seemed to be no disposition to question Mr." Tschudt's good faith. Mr. Gardner was dismissed from his place a few weeks ago, but Mr. Tschudi is still in tbe bank's employ. He? Might Hove Been Hypnotized. President Baker was on Gardners' bond for 20,000, and be has made good the amount. Some or those present at the stockholders' meeting took occasion to severely criticise the management of the hank. President Baker was asked by one of the stockholders if he had any reason to believe that Cashier Gardner had made any thing out of tbe transactions with Crowl. "I don't think so," was Mr. Baker's re ply. "I have known Mr. .Gardner since his boyhood. I can't account for his action, ex cept on the theory that Crowl has hypno tized him." Crowl borrowed right and left, subscribed for stock, gave his notes for it, and then hypothecated it. Crowl is now in Roanoke, Va. One man said to-day that he could trace 50,000 alone that Crowl has forwarded within a short time be fore his failure and had never made good. Gardner bad been with the Franklin Bank abont ten years. He is a comparatively young man, and is said to have been entirely dependent on 111s salary lor nis living. When a boy he was a member of Mr. Baker's Sunday school and alter became a Sunday school superintendent himself. It was only last November tbat Cashier Gard ner swore out a warrant and had Paying Teller Obadiah G. Deever arrested on the charge of being short in his account about 6.000. MONTANA'S POLITICAL DANGERS. No Provision for Canvassing the State Election for President. Helena, Mont., Jan. 6 There was no change in the Legislative situation. The Senate and Democratic House met in joint session,.and the Governor read his message. This document. is quite long and deals prin cipally with local .affairs.

A Girl Apparently Rescued From a Con sumptive's Death. ISPECTAt. TELSQRAK TO THE DISPATCH. I Boston, Jan. 6. Dr. Korh's lymph has wronght what seems to be a miraculous cure in the case of a girl, Maggie Doyle, who was treated at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Ten days ago she was dying of phthisis or consumption. Now she sits up in bed, takes more food, sleeps well and is so far on the road to recovery that the experimentaistagemay be said to be passed, and in two weeks tbe physicians ex pect to send her io the countryfor final re cuperation. She has had three inoculations and tbey will be repeated every two or three days for the present. A week ago Sunday she was so low' that she received the sacrament of extreme unc tion, the last rites in the Roman Catholic Chnrch. So rapid an improvement is looked upon alike by the phy sicians and friends as an impressive testimony to the success of lymph treatment. She says she feels much better and stronger than before the inoculations. She continues to congh, but it is a cough of the favorable kind, lor every time comes up matter that has been acted npon by the lymph. To her friends her outward ap pearance is not altered, but her own feelings are very much better, and she herself is now confident orrecovery. GOVERNOR ITFEE'S LAST MESSAGE.

When the Senate re assembled at 3 o'clock it was to elect officers who had already been decided on by the Conference Committee of'the Alliance and Democrats. F. N. Van Dusse, the Alliance candidate for Secretary, headed-thelist, and the Democrats and Alliance candidates alternated on through the list. Then came a hot parliamentary battle over the rules, in which Ignatius Donnelly was sole spokesman for the Alliance and Demo crats and John Day Smith was chief speaker for tbe Republicans. Senator- Donnelly in sisted that inasmuch as tbe Alliance-Democratic combine, was in the majority, the Committees on Railroads, Grain and Ware bouses, and Banking sbonld be farmers; and when Senator Smith moved to have, the last session rules continue and a committee be appointed to decide on permanent rules, ha objected vigorously. The resolution was defeated by the Democrats. The three parties in . the Honse are an far from any compromise as ever. The Democrats and Alliance men have been in communication with each other through conference committees all tbe afternoon, still to-night neither are inclined to yield, and both want the Speakership. The fact that tbey have arranged to fnse in the Senate may have a tendency to bring them together fn tbe House, but trie Democrats claim tha Alliance got the best of it in the Upper House and they wantthebest ol thedivisioa -of offices in the lower body. 3 sensations creeping up the spinal colmna hacking cough, variable or poor appetite, feeble digestion, with gradual loss, or flesh, cold feet, lassitude or general debility, should admonish one that all is not right.
