The Demo cratic Senators one by one, are acknowl edcint; that their colleasues in the House line rmt their party into a very deep hole, lint only on the general isue of so-called economy, hut upon a number of separate questions intohed in the clauses of the ap propriation bilK Ot all these no one is more important, both patriotically and politically, than the question as to the de Tclrpment of the new navy in the direction ol coast defense. Under the guidance of Mr. ITolman, the Democratic majority of the House has been loolish cnouc;!i to send the Senate a naal appropriation bill uhich is utterly inade quate to coniinue the present scheme of en- iarsine our xorci" 01 commerce aestrvrers and of battleships.

ZMereU a ampli of1h) Issnes. Tliis is but a single example of the issue which has arisen between the House and Senate unon the expenditure of public lnoncv. Niscardly parsimonionsness of the House, coupled with its excessive liberality in the r:cr and harbor appropriations for Democratic districts, has disgusted the party manacer, who hae just begnn to see iliat ex-Spt aker Itecd scored a great point the other day when he excoriated Mr. Hol Mmn tor his hpocrisvin opposing all ap propriations exeent those of personal and political advantage to himself. So far ha this feeline goDe ajrainst Mr. Holman's narion and bigoted policy that een Mr. Hill has found it necessary to re treat by denial from his announced inten tion to exploit "economv" as the chief issue in the comins Presidental campaign, while senator Gorman, the most astute and Isr-seems leader of the Democratic side ot the Senate, has been careful to declare in favor ol inceased, instead of lessened ap propriations (or the conduct of the Govern ment departments and lor the new navy. Oornntn's p-ech at Political "Weight. A great deal of political significance is at tached to the speech which Senator Gorman delivered esterdav in direct antagonism to the Democratic policy of the House, and the Mai land leader has been asked many questions about his purpose. To these qocries Senator Gorman makes no reply for publication, hut it is well understood lrom what lie -a s to his friends that heiegards it as poor polio- to make any issue in the cming campaign upon the comparative amount of expenditure of public money bv tlie last Republican Congress and by this Congress. It is Mr. Gorman's opinion that the phrase "billion-dollar Congress" will not answer as a campaign cry. Mr. Gormm thinks that the American people are not economical by instinct or habit, and that they want their public service to procure lor them whatever is needed without (jaestion as to cost. The only question that the average voter ever considers in a party liclu, according to Mr. Gorman's, view, would bethe honesty ol the t-xnenditure, and not its amount, as Mr. Gorman clearly shows, the necessities ol the Governmental administration ot this cowrtrv incre.Te not only with the growth of its population, rapid as tli is, but mul tiply with its industrial and commercial de velopment. dill A'lto Denies tlie Ia'se Economy. This utterance by Mr. Gorman can ireareely be overestimated in its political wenifjeance. It is coupled with a hurried denial ly Senator Hill ol any intention to raiM the issue ol economy in the campaign this ear. In short, Mr. Holman has been absolutely sent to the rear of his party, liicu inav continue to pretend to wt in tne appropriations of the so-called "t.ll.n-lollar Congress," but which is far more likely to exceed them. The simple tact is that the lin.il determination of these tun ili be lelt to conlcrence c -mmittees, scinch will transact the greater part of their bus.ue&s duiinc June, when many of the rel lea !ers ot both tne Senate and House will be anient ai the National Conventions. Tbeie is a distinct hoe in the minds of most J tlicip leaders that these differences between the two branches ot Congress may be so adjusted as to brins about an adjourn ment by the middle of Julj. Tile death ot Senator Barbour, of Vir ginia, early this morning came as a great iiock. not only to his lnends, but to all ol the Congress. Senator Harbour's death was dramatic in a political sense, because his last utteiance was one well calculated to divide still turther the tactions ot the Demo cratic purtr, anions whose leaders Mr. Bar bour held high rank. enator Ilarlinurs Last Warning Senator Harbour's l.'st published utter ance, addressed to the Richmond Dispatch, contains, this sentence of peculiarsignificance coaim; lrom a Southern Senator ot the old Uourbon school: It is etevedinjrly doubtful whether the lem ranc purty'ran cleit any candidate Ihi m.ii U- iiuima:edat its National Con vention in iljp iie?idciicy.

Death's Smldon Catt on a Noble Man. I saw srong men shed tears as they spoke of the unexpected death of this noble man. Only yesterdav he walked the streets, up right and with elastic steps. I had met him years ago, on mjr first adventin "Wash ington, and yesterd iy, as he strode up the avenue, I congratulated him on his youth ful ace and wonderful strength. He re plied with enthusiasm that he had not felt better for years. This morning at 6 o'clock a violent St of coughing seized him. A member of his family went for a cordial, and when she returned the Senator was dead. His death recalled, in a vivid way, that of Senator Plumb, of Kansas. The manner of their taking off was almost identical. Hard work was the cause of the death of both. The v who believe that a quiet, un demonstrative member ot Congress does no work are grcviously in error. Some who are never heaid of after they are elected are really martyrs to their constituents, though they may not for a single day do any great work, or have lor the moment any grand concession of the illimitable field that is offered lor the enthusiastic and tearless statesman. Two Antipodal Characters. Barbour and Plumb were antipodal. 2fo two men could express a vaster separation of impulse and intellect The one wasbred in the old Southern school which had been taugnt to look upon all save their own kind as creatures of an interior type. He was taught that the non-slaveholder of the North was a greasy mechanic a filthy oper ative, who degraded his genius, if he had any, to commercial uses. Plumb moved in "an atmosphere of vasite democracy which placed individual etlort and gross material success above all thought of refine ment. Mr. Barbour lived in a day and sec tion where chivalry and courtesy were counted superior to all else, though those qualities were born and bred upon the degra dation of a class for which Plumb once foueht, but for which, in after years, he had no battle note that would sound the advance toward a freedom as substantial in practice as it was in name. The death ot these two men. sounding the extremes of social thought, the men so dis similar, the deaths o nearly alike, is one of thoe episodes in the public life of the Na tional Capital which leads the most thought less to stop in the rapid move ments of affairs and look back at history which is so ancient and yet so recent, and suggests a prospect of a time when the extremes of a quarter of a century ago shall be as unsubstantial as a dream, and when these warring sections of that day shall have a new birth in a grand, unseetional impetus toward a higher life which shall, indeed, mean no race or color or previous condition of servitude.

The local representatives of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies were on hand, but explained that they expected experts on the underground-wire question here from ifew York and Boston, where they had already been compelled to put wires underground, bnt they had not yet arrived. The company realized that the wires must go down and wanted the experts here to suggest points for the proposed ordinance. They did not want to be bound to an expensive system if they could show that a cheaper one would answer just as well. The point was accepted by the Mayor and Chief Brown and the conference was post poned until the experts arrive. Robbed In an Alley.

He Makes an Enormous Fortune Out of the Yitaline Decoction. SQUEEZED FROM RICH AND POOR. The Kaiser's latest Break: Makes Quite a Sensation, as Csnal. LATEST MOTES IN GERMAN POLITICS ICOPTRIOHT. 1392. BY X. T. ASSOCIATED PBESS.3 Berlik, May 14. Before the "vitaline cure" killed General Gresser, the Prefect of St. Petersburg, and others high in Kus sian society, analyses made in Berlin lab oratories showed that the remedy was com posed of a simple combination of borax and clycerlne, almost without effect for good or evil. The disclosures in regard to vitaline have checked its use in Germany. The strongest protests of the doctors have failed to disseminate the Russian belief that it is a panacea for tuberculosis, gout and debility. Its inventor, Gatchowsky, declares that he procured the secret of its composition from a Chinese savant. He boasted .that the medicine had miraculous qualities, curing every malady and restor ing youth. His unbounded assurance, supported by some seeming cures, gave "vitaline" im mense vogue. Ministers, generals and the highest officers of State could be seen mingling with workingmen in Gatchows ky's reception rooms. All Classes of People Fleeced. Gatchowsky got enormous fees from the rich, and took weekly installments from the poor. He applied his remedies by sub cutaneous injections in some cases, and in ternally in others. The list of cures in creased, many affirming that their maladies had gone under the treatment, until the in cidents ot the Gresser and General Baranoff affairs pricked the bubble. "When the police searched the quack's house they found, be sides bank books showing heavy bank ac counts, 5,000 roubles in cash, money which he had taken and hastily thrown into a box. Some of the papers print articles in ex tenuation of the Emperor's approval of the soldier Luecke for shooting a civilian. They explain that Luecke was the subject of mad threats. The Emperor, they say, only counteracted these anonymous communica tions. The excuse, however, does not tally with the latest act of the Emperor toward Luecke, to whom he sent his photograph with his autograph, and the words, "A recompense for the faithful observance of the watchword while on duty. The Cologne Gazette affirms the truth o'f the reported words of the Emperor, encouraging soldiers to use their arms against civilians. A Party Hopolessly Split Up. The discord amontr the Conservatives has become so accentuated that the Government can for some time to come disregard that party as an important factor in the opposi tion. A committee was appointed to ar range a new Conservative platform; but following the example of Herr Helldorff, who withdrew a month ago, two other prominent Conservatives, Count Otto Man tucffel and Herr Kleist, have retired. Herr ICleist's influence is great, and it is expected he will draw after him a number of the party who are now hesitating, and who, joining the Moderates, will create two balanced divisions, the Bight and Left Con servatives, the latter closely allied with the Rational Liberals. The committee representing the present majority has modified the party's anti Semitic jiolicy. The committee will now merely recommend that Hebrews be kept out of the judiciary and other public offices. Only the Saxon Conservatives want to maintain the anti-Semitic plank un changed. Their influence will have no effect upon the committe's decision. A Scheme lo Reform the Diet The Freissingge party have initiated a movement in the Landtag aiming at a dem ocratic reform in the Prussian electoral sys tem. The Liwer House of the Prussian Diet is an anomaly beside the Reichstag. The members of the latter bodv are elected by direct manhood sufirage, while members ot the former House are elected under a complicated system of indirect representa tion, partly uasea upon tne position ot the voters as taypayers. The members of the Freisinnigge party argue that the fiscal reforms recently intro duced implied an amendment electorally so as to assimilate the Prussian with the Im perial system. The Korth German Gazette announces that the Government will not dally with the question, and that it will not hesitate to maintain the Prussian system in its full integrity. The Freisinnige leaders hope to obtain the support of a number of National Liberals for a motion affirming the necessitv for a Liberal electoral reform, coupled with a redistribution of seats. Although the iVorfA German Gazttte de nounces the movement, the Pott and other papers discuss it with some degree of favor. If the Freisinnige party succeed by their agitation in arousing national sentiment, it will have a potent influence in the coming election. Stumbling Blocks for the Army BUI. The new army bill, proposing an increase of the effective, is not likely to be intro duced in the Reichstag until autumn. Herr von Kaltenborn-Strachau,Prussian Minis ter of AVar, is certain to retire from offif e before the bill is presented. Though he is an able soldier he is not a debater, nor would he be able to face the Parliamentary opposition the measure will inevitable pro voke. The resources required for the mil itary organization will be a duty on alcohol, which has now been decidedupon. It is reported that a duty will, also, be placed on beer, and that a proposition to tax news paper advertisements is under considera tion. Dr. Bosze.Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Instruction, has given his first decision regarding the confessional schools at Dant ziy, where the two secular schools are over crowded. The Catholics petitioned against the erection of an additional non-sectarian school, demanding the establishment of a Catholic school instead. Dr. Broze refused the Catholics' petition. Tho Defective Rills Scandil. Herr Stein, a lawyer, who is noted for his anti-Semitic proclivities, and notorious,also, on account of his recent attacks upon his former friend, Rector Ahlwardt, has been arrested on a charge of fraud in connection with certain mortgages. Rector Ahlwardt continues his campaign against Ludwjg, Lowe & Co. in connection with his charges that the firm furnished defective rifles to the army. The firm, as before stated, has brought the charges against him, but he insists he will be able to sustain the charge he has made. The Hamburg authorities have seized 100 cases of American dried apples. They claim they contain oxide of zinc, having been evaporated in galvanized iron frames. Formerly they confiscated shipments of dried apples passing through Hamburg, but in consequence of the protest of Mr. John son, the American Consul there, they now confine, their operations to apples offered in the Hamburg market. A gang ot American Bharpers have been successlully operating in Berlin in Con federate notes. The swindlers have suc ceeded in passing a large number of the notes. In one instance they cheated a widow, who made her living by letting rooms to lodgers, out of 2,000 marks by getting her to change some of the notes lor them. Austria Aclnst Free Silver. Vtexua, May 14. Dr. Steinbaoh, Aus trian Minister of Finance, in introducing the bills into the Lower House of the Reichsratb, referred to the free coinage question in the United States.

NEWS! NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS fSPFCIAT, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Columbus, O., May 14. A well was to day struck by the Columbus Natural Gas Company in its Lancaster fields, whieh has a pressure double that of any other of its wells, and double that of any of the great Northwest. Not long ago the gas company made a dis covery that will doubtless prove to be valuable as well as remarkable. "While ex perimenting, they discovered an anticlinal, which was drilled into. The result was a big w ell. Since then two other wells were drilled, and this moniins; they began to drill in the rock for the lnurth well. This was reached, and alreadv there is a flow of 7,000,000 cubic feet a day. Th drilling was continued with indications of very much more gas. The well is located between Pleasantville and Lancaster, in the gas fields owned by the Natural Gas Company. The discovery to-day is a confirmation of the companv's theory, that the wells in the Central Ohio field will last as long as in the Northwest. TEYINO TO CLOSE EEIE SCHOOLS.

SIMILAR ACTIONS TO FOLLOW. Normal Tark Citiz3ns Ho'd a Vijorous In dignation Meeting. 1HE EFFECT OP A HEAVEX ON LOTS Chicago, May 14. Dr. Teed, the leader of the so-called Koreshan community, which has ettablished "heavens' in the Chicago suburbs of Washington Heights and Normal Park, was made defendant in a $100,000 damaee suit brought in the Circuit Court by Sidney C. Miller, manager of the National Publishing Company. Mr. Miller's hair, his attorney says, has prematurely turned gray through troable brought about by Teed. The plaintiff's wife, it appears, somehow fell under, the influence of the Koreshanite teachings and became one of Teed's followers, leaving her hushaud and beautiful home. It is said a number of similar suits are about to be brought against Teed and at least one action ot a criminal nature. An indignation meeting of the citizens of Normal Park was held to consider Teed's invasion of their neighborhood. Here is the statement or a man whose home was broken up by Teed, and whose wife died with the Koresh after years of estrangement from her husband and family. Out ot respect for his relatives he with holds his name, but he is well known in Chicago, and this is his story as told to a re porter: Story of a Ttalned Borne. "I am naturally one of the people who cannot sav a good word for Dr. Teed, for he succeJed in turning my wife's mind from her home and family until she positively re fused to live with me any longer, and she died at the College of Lfe in November, 1890, and was buried without my knowing anvthing about it. "My wife and I had lived happily for years, and we bad oue little boy about 9 years old when my wife was first intro duced to Teed. That would be about live years ago. She had met Teed at a friend's house where she was visiting, and the woman who introduced her to Koresh is now one of his inner circle of 'saints,' nnd is expecting to be translated to heavea without dying. "Tweed was then a Christian scientist, and was delivering lectures on the South side. She was taught that marriage was a great sin, and that the idea ot people living together as husband ana wile was utaspnem otis, and she thoroughly believed it. Before she became inlatuated with these notions she was a good wife and a pretty level headed woman. But all her ideas of home were so upset, she didn't care what became of me or her bov, all she wanted was money for Teed. During the first two years after she left me she came occasionally to see me, and alwavs carried off whatever money and household articles she could lay her hands on. Teed gave htr instructions to get as much out of her husband as possible when she came to visit me. He had an inner cir cle of women who were up to all his games and instructed the new converts to carry out his wishes in everything. Wouldn't Go in a Golden Clmrio. "As a last resort to get my wife out of Dr. Teed's custody, I sent two of my sisters to the Home to see her and in fact they stayed Borne days and made her believe they were taking treatment from Dr. Teed. But she was obstinate to every one but Teed. When he gotnto trouble she cried about him, but she was like adamant when we ap proached her. The last message she sent to me at least Teed's people said she sent it was that if I sent for her with a golden chariot she would not come with me. She was a truthful woman until she came under Teed's iufluence, but then took to deception and would iustitv herself by saying there was nothing wrong in telling a lie it it was necessary for the advancement of the cause. "As to the morality of the place, she saw but little appearance of intimacy. There were two or three favorites who seemed to be the special objects of Teed's care. But what would have been regarded as suspicious conduct elsewhere, was taken by the resi dents of the College of Life as all right When their faith seemed to falter Teed would point to the persecution he was sub ject to as a sure sign that he was the Mes siah. I didn't hear of my wife's death until she had been buried for several weeks. I believe she sat in the dark room, and grieved to death. The funeral ceremony was carried out by Dr. Teed, according to the rites of the Koreshan community." Heavens Depress Real Kstate. "It looks as if there will be trouble," said Henry Gill, a real estate man on Sixty eighth street, near the Teed residences. "It is a great depression to property, their com ing in here. Nobody wants them." Jacob Horn has not yet joined Teed, bnt says he is thinking about it. Jacob is a German about 65 years of age. He is a wagon and cistern maker, and says if the Teed doctrine pleases him he will go in and fit np wagons for the Koreshanites, and also turn them "over 14,000 worth of house property. His son Fritz, an 18-year-old boy, who works for the Hilliards, is said to be infatuated with Teed, and it was he who converted his father. The old man says if he joins Teed he will compel his wifeand 12-year-old girl to go with him. But he distinctly objects to celibacy. "If I go my wife and I must live together," he declared emphatically,, ,,, Horn says fie is tired with the present social system, and wants to try Teed's com munistic idea. On Her Face and Ttody.
