RELIEF EXPECTED FROM THE S5TII But There Are Few Hopes Expressed That the Uingley Bill or Any Other Measure for the Purpose ol' Secur ing Revenue to ltun the tiovcrn mcnt Can lie Passed in the 51th Congress. Washington. Nov. 15. With a view of ascertaining the views of the lead ing men In congress aa to the pndiabll II y of tariff legislation In the next ses sion of congress, and as to the likeli hood of an extra session, the Washing ton bureau of the United Associated Presses has sought the written opin ions of a number of prominent sena tors und representatives. The replies received show quite a diversity of views and are exceedingly Interesting. A few of them are as follows: Senator Hrlee, of Ohio "It Is nulte certain that the Republican president elect will, after March 4 next be sus tained by a large Republican majority in the house of representatives and by a sufficient Republican majority In the senate. Second That the free sliver men will be In the minority in the senate as well as in the house of representatives. Third That while some' of the free silver senators, who have heretofore prevented the passage of the Dingley bill, with such amendments as mny make certain a sufficient revenue, will, In view of the result of the election, probably vote with their Republican caivis 8. nnicE. bretnre... It Is Immaterial whether they do or not, as In my opinion a suf ficient number of round money Dem ocratic senators will assist the Repub licans to pass the necessary tarllf legis lation in the Fifty-fourth congress to supply the existent deficit in the reve nue. I at least shall so vote, and I un derstand thnt Senator Gorman and a number of others occupy the sanu1 po sition." Senator Sherman says: "In the pres ent condition of affair I do not care to impress my opinion as to the proper taril' and financial Iw.-rlslatloti of this or the next congress." Senator Allison, of Iowa "I do not think It Is practicable to predict what will be (lore, or can be done, as re spect.! tariff and financial legislation, during the last sesion of the r'ifty fourth congress. I hope the Dingley bill will pass w'lli such modification:! as mny bu nevesasry to secure stilllelont revenue lo enrry on the government. If Ibis (mint be done during the fr'if'.y. fourth It Kerns to me an extra iMdon of I ho ! ifty-iif th congress Is Inevit a" 1" ' Senator Hawley, of Connecticut "As to the financial legislation to be expected from the coming sesion I should hope that a well guarded, care ful bill, defining the circumstances un der which the executive might Issue bonds, may be passed. The possibility of adopting a eatlsafctory revision of the tariff seems to me very doubtful. If the revenues permits It. the matter ought to go over to the extra session of the Fifty-fifth congress, with a view to securing such revision as I refer to. If that could be had it would prob ably give the country a very desirable rest in the matter for the next four years." Senator Walthall, of Mississippi "I ee no reason to Justify the expecta tion that there will be any Important tariff or financial legislation at the ap plonehing session of congress. I can form no opinion as to what will be done at a possible extra session of the Flly-flfth congress In advance of the senatorial elections to occur during the coming winter." The views of Senator Morgan, of Alabam.-., and Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, have al ready been published in there dis patches. MR. PINO LET HAS NO HOPK. Mr. Dingley. of Maine, refers to the recently published Interview In these difcpatehes. In which he expressed the opinion that there was not the slight est hope of the passage of the so-called Dingley bill by the senate at the next ression of congress, and tnat the lions? would not propose anything further in this direction at the approaching chort seslson. (leneral Grosvenor, of Ohio "I do not believe It possible that any material legislation for the benefit of the coun try can be passed In the fifty-fourth congress." The senators who have left the Republican party in the Interest of a few silver mine owners of the west will resent rather than obey the de mands of an enormous majority of the people of the United States that the greatest (rood shall be the rule of their action rather than the selfish greed of less than fifty soulless corporations of the Rocky Mountains. Hence these men who have no future In the Repub lican party will resist all attempts to relieve the treasury by any legislation that does not recognize the paramount interest of the silver mine owners. The Republicans of congress will not submit to that, and they have behind them the overwhelming support of the Amer ican people. Consequently no good can come of the last session of the fifty fourth congress. "I do believe that the Republican party will be in a position In the fifty fifth congress to save the country from bankruptcy and the industries of the country from destruction. Any at tempt by combinations In the senate or In the house to Impede the carrying Into law the wiH of the people will destroy the men who attemnt it. They will be run over and crushed." Representative Steele, of Indiana "I hope that the senate will now agree to the Mil to provide temporary re lief for the government and meet the deficiency in the revenue, and one pro viding for advertising the sale of bonds and one providing for a temporary loan, that were reported from the com- mittee on wars and means and passed the house last December, lioth were, In my estimation, reasonable. Judicious measures, and If the senate should agree to them It would put us in such shape as to obviate an extra session of congress.'' COMPLEXION OF CONGRESS. Changes That Hill lie Among the Results ol Election. Washington, Nov. 13. Although the official figures of the recent election have not. in ul! cases, reached Repub lican congressional headquarters, the result of- the contests in the vurlouu congressjlnal districts is known w.th sufficient exactness to warrant the an-nouii-etnent of a summaiyof the p i. il eal divisions In the House, of llepftf sentatives in the Fifty-fifth congress. This shows -'07 Republicans, 1117 Demo crats and 13 Populists. In making this division, the committee have placed among the' Populists Messts. Hun munn, of Montana; Newlands, of Ne vada, nnd Siiafroth, of Georgia, who were elected to the present congress as Republicans. Also J. II. Baker, of llllinois, who was a Republican repre sentative in the Fifty-llrst congreis. The other Populist committee, four from Kansas, three from Ncrth Caro lina, one from Colorado, one from Cali fornia. Upon the question of silver, the division is said to be: For free silver, 1B3; against fr?.e silver, 201. Two of the Democrats nre opposed to frea coinage of silver Messrs. oAleer, of Pennsylvania, and Klllott. of South Carolina, and five Republicans favor It Messrs. Hitchbnrn, of California; Broderlck and Curtis, of Kansas; Ttn nev, of North Carolina,' and Beach, of Ohio. Not a single one of the e'.even mem bers of the majority of the Ways and Means committee failed of re-election, while of the six members of tfte min ority, two were not returned Messrs, Turner, of Georgia, and Cobb, of Mis souri. The minority also lo?t its lead er. ex-Speaker Crisp, by death. How ever, he was not a candidate for re election. The committee on appropriations loses Messrs. Arnold, of Pennsylvania; Halncs, of Nebraska; Blue, of Kansas, and McCall, of Tenni ss. e, Republicans, und Lnyton, of Ohio, and Bartlett, of New York, Democrats. The leadins committees lose the fol lowing: Kleotion, four Republican, In cluding Chairman Daniels, of No. 1, and 3 Democrats; Judiciary, five Re publicans and three Democrats; bank ing and currency, three Republicans and two Democrats: Interstate and foreign commerce, three Republicans and five Democrats; rivers and har bors, five Republicans and one Demo crat; agriculture, four Republicans, one Populist and one Democrat; for eign affairs, two Republicans and four Democrats; military affairs, three Re publicans and four Democrats; naval affairs, three Republicans and three Democrats; postolllce and post roads, five Republicans and three Democrats: Indian affairs, seven Republicans nnd two Democrats; territories, eight Re publicans, including Chairman Scran ton, of Pennsylvania, and three Dem ocrats; railway and canals, three Re publicans and one Democrat: public buildings and grounds, three Republi cans and one Democrat; Pacific rail roads, five Republicans and four Dem ocrats; war claims, four Republicans and two Democrats; immigration and naturalization, one Republican and three Democrats; accounts, four Re publicans, Including Chairman Aid rich, of Illinois, and three Democrats; rules, one Democrat ex-Speaker Crisp.

PROSPECTS OF CIUUNCEY DEPEVV A Possibility Thnt He Mny Crncc the Court of St. James--The Meet ol' I'.lcction t'pou Hnsinpss Interests of the t'ounlryConlidcncc Kc stored. Canton, Nov. 15. President-elect Mc Klnlcy passed another very quiet Sun day. Mr. Webb Hayes, son of the late President Hayes, tame down from Cleveland on a morning train and spent the day at the McKinley resi dence. Mr3. McKir.lcy'a health has been so far restored that she was able to go driving for half an hour this after noon. Although various newspapers have published complete cabinet outfits for the Incoming administration, it Is safe to assert that none of them has been built upon anything resembling an authoritative announcement from Major McKinley or those who nre clos est to him. it is evident that the President-elect has not made up his mind as to the formation of his cabinet, nor even deoidod upon the geographical allotment of places therein. It Is fur ther apparent that Major McKinley will not consider cabinet candidates un til after his return from his visit to Clevelnnd. According to present ar rangements, the president-elect and Mrs. McKinley will leave for Cleveland on Wednesday morning. Since Cliaun cey M. Depew has censed to be talked about so frequently for secretary of state there has been a gcod deal of discustdon here of the probability of his being appointed minister to Eng land. It Is known that Major McKin ley has a very kindly feeling for Mr. Depew, and the latter's friends here assert that he would find life as am bassador at the court of St. James ex tremely agreeable. A friend of Major McKlnley's said to-night that Senator Sherman un doubtedly expressed the desire of most of Major McKlnley's closest advisers when he said that congress should pass the Dingley bill this winter. The new administration will not care to be saddled with an extra session of congress, and Major McKinley will have quite enough to occupy him In organizing his administration. Major 'McKlnley's advices from Texas are of a most satisfactcry char acter. They indicate an Increase In the Republican vote of the State of over 100 per cent. EFFECT OF THE ELECTION. Henry Clews, of New York, writes: "The magnetic effect of your election has already advanced the price of se curities dealt In at the New York Btock exchange over a hundred million dol lam, and a corresponding amount in the securities dealt In in the different local markets throughout the country. Spot cash wheat has advanced both In Chicago and New York since the elec tion fourteen cents a bushel. It has reduced the rate of Interest on call money in New York from 100 per cent, per annum to 4 per cent., and time money from not being obtainable on scarcely any terms Is now being freely offered at from thirty days to a year at 4'3 per cent, per annum. Mercantile paper was unsaleable, while now it is sought for at 5 per cent, per annum. A general shut down was jilunned by manufacturers In the event of your de feat, whereas, now, as the result of your election, Increased labor Is being employed and machinery that was here tofore idle cuused by the prolonged bad times is starting up again with renewed vigor in all directions. The cducntlon in the fundamental laws of finance which our people have received in the past campaign places us in a unique pdeKion. The result of building up credit and business upon such a foundation must surely be to make a period of prosperity such as has never before been approached." Hon. J. O. Dickman. Judge of the su preme court of New York, suys "Your last letter to Mr Mnnna made my heart leap for Joy. and I could grapple you to my soul with hooks of steel. You stand now on a plane with Wash ington and Lincoln, with opportunities seldom vouchsafed to mortal num." Hon. Andrew D. White, member of the Venzuela commission, Washington, 1), C suys: "No one has felt nior deeply than myself the significance of the recent contest, not only to our own country, but to the whole world; and no one has admired more your discus sions of the muln questions at issue, or the manner in which you have main tained the dignity of your candidacy." ARKELL'S PROSPECTS. New York, Nov. 15. A representa tive of the United Associated Presses In conversation with a gentleman who stands high in the councils of the Re publican party, and is a close friend of Major McKinley, was told to-day that It was not unlikely William J. Arlicll, the publisher, would be ten dered a portfolio in President McKln ley's cabinet, probably of postmaster general. NO CHANGE IN POLICY. The President Docs Not Anticipate Any Tr. ublc Willi Spain Improv ing tbe Coast Defences. Washington, .Nov. 13. Many state ments n r. acting the attitude of the administration on the Cuban question have been circulated during the past week and various articles of a contllct Ing character have been dintruhuttd throughout the countrja The president has said that he does not anticipate an:' trouble with Spain over the Cuban situation and that there is no Intention to change the policy re specting the matter which was laid down by the administration a year ago. In addition to this members of the cabinet have stated that the Cuban matter would be left for the new ad ministration to settle. While following such a course may be the intention of President Cleveland's administration, the facts warrant the statement that should an emergency arise requiring prijupt and decisive action the several deirtments of the government will be found keenly alive to the requirements of the occasion and amply provided for any emergency which may be encoun tered. Measures of a precautionary character have been taken to meet any critical conditions which may arise; in other words the United States is judiciously continuing the work of strengthening its fortifications and works of defense, which have been In progress for several years, and will, therefore, be prepared to change its pol icy should it be deemed advisable to do ao. Investigation proves that army offi cers along the Atlantic coast are push ing the work In their several depart ments with all possible dispatch under orders to have certain classes of h?avy ordnance ready for use at as early a day as possible. Every precaution for secrecy has been taken and officers lo cated at the navy yards declln to dis cuss their unusual activity, while Sec retary Lamout says that he is trying to make some return in finished works of defense for tile great expenditures which have been mude In that direc tion. There Is no doubt that the maxim "In times of peace prepare for war" has been passed nlong the line. No well-informed official anticipates trou ble, hut us one of them said tonieht, "it is like a lire drill on board ship. We want to know that everybody would be ready if a fire should break out." FAITH IN THE TARIFF. Itig Factory to lie Opened at Newark, N.J. Newark. N. J., Nov. 15. Relieving that a provisional tariff bill will be passed at the next sesion of congress, local capitalists have subscribed $50. 000 for the opening of a factory here for the manufacture of patent and enameled leather, employing live hun dred hands. Work will commence at once. BIT OF ANCIENT HISTORY What Marion Butler Said to Tom Wat eon Georgia Orator Urged to Flgbt the Gold Bogle Man. I Washington, Nov. 13. Senator Ma rlon Uutler, chairman of the Populist national campaign committee, today made public the following letter, which he addressed to Mr. Watson two days after the receipt of his letter of accept ance: Washington, D. C Oct. 2fi. To Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: Your letter of acceptance was received Saturday nlht. It had been de tained in the postotltee for want of suffi cient postage. You, in efTect, advise Pop ulists not to support the Joint electoral tickets that have been arranged In a luiye number of states. Is It possible that you fully appreciate the efTect of such advice. At least, upon retlection, you must know that if cnoiiKh Populists should follow such advice, it would mean the defeat f Rryan, and the election of McKlnlcy. Resides, If your advice should be followed by enoiiKh Populists, the Populist party would not have a single elector In the electoral college, In the states where we have joint electoral tickets, we will get every elector that we do get, and, he sides, It Is In those states where we will Ket the bulk. If not all, of the People's party congressmen. In your own stale, und other states which have followed your advice against electoral tickets, we will not et a single elector, und 1 fear not many congressman, if uny. You certainly cannot mean, however, munh as you may have favored a mlildle-of- the-road policy In the beginning, to advise your friends to do that which at this time would be the most effective UKt ncy In placing In power McKinley and his Imekers the trusts and monoiiulles. Can uny political or party Injustice, how ever great. Justify us in being responsible, cither directly or Indirectly, for placing In power the stock Jobbers, monopolists, trusts, the Kritish gold ring und all of the combined robbers of the people und enemies of good government. In the name of outraged nnd suffering humanity, whose prayers toduy go up from millions of homes for William J. Bryan in his he roic and marvelous struggle against the corporate greed and the hellish gold con spiracy, let us sink every other considera tion and hold up his hands and do the full duty of Americans ami patriots. Let lis remember that It is a suffering people and a holraytd republic, nnd not Democratic politicians, that today cull for our help and demand our services. Hrynn will be elected ami the government redeemed if every patriot does his duty. Let us do ours. Therefore, I beseech you to change at least that part of your letter which gives advice, which, if followed, would surely help the common enemy. If you do not, then you, yourself, must assume the responsibility of giving such a document to the public at this time. Yours truly. Marlon Butler. THE NIAGARAHARNESSED. Secretary Knnkin Sets the 0,000 Horse Power Dynamos in Motion. Niagara Falls, Nov. 16. At one min utes after Sunday midnight. Secretary W. H. Rankin, of the Niagara Falls Power company, turned the switch in the main power house of the compuny, connecting the monster 5,000 horse-power dynamos with the transformers in the transformer house, which were in turn connected with the Hulfulo power transmission line, nnd at that same in stant the electric power of Niagara was for the first time sent out beyond the confines of the city and on direct to liuffalo, a distance of some twenty-two ml lea.

(Copyright, 1S90, by the Pnited Associated Presses.) Lerlin. Nov. Public interest lias been greatly excited over the promised interpellation of the Cenf ist leaders In the Reichstag to-morrow demand ing thnt the government disclose the nature of the Rosso-German neutrality tienty, the existence of which from 184 to 1MM was revealed in Prince HIs marek's recent articles In his personal organ, the Hamburger Nachrichten, and an explanation why the agree ment was allowed to lapse. Applica tions for admission to the galleries have been enormously In excess of the capacity of the space devoted to vis itors, and a full attendance of mem bers cf the Reichstag Is also assured. It was given out late last evening, bowever. that it is not the Intention cf the Centrist leaders to press the debate beyond the Interpellation con cerning the revelations or Prince HIs marck to the extent of embarrassing the government, but It Is, neverthe less, certain that the debate will be a very spirited one and likely to lead 1 1 sharp exchanges of personalities. It is also understood that Count Her bert Hismarck, who, it has been sug gested, was responsible to a great de gree for the publication of the revela tions though nobody now believes that he wiik 'vlll take part In the discuss'.o.'i of the Centrist motion. An artle!, In th'; Hamburg Nachrichten ln.1lcjr.es that tlic line of the ex-chancellors de fence of his course in making the ills-c-h'iu.ch will be that it was In tnt In terests of the country, which ought to l.?nin i he motives which actuated th? late Chancvellor Von Caprivi, in sev ering the bond between Russia and Oernirny which existed from mi to IS'jti. li the count Is agreeable to ex plain this action of the part of Prince Ki.iiT.arik s successor to the chancel lorship, the Nachrichten says, li will be :t veiy easy matter to tran iiillUe Germany by showing In what way Ger man lelutious with the other foreign powers made a Russian allianca unac ceptable. "It will be equally Impor tant," the paper continues, "to ascer tain whether the policy of England ex erted rn Influence xuch as did not c in form to German interests; and the iitsticn whether a powerful neighbor like Rusi.t was not In closer sympathy with Germany than with Germany's adversary In Europe, meaning France, Is one of the grandest Importance. This line of nrgument, however, does not meet the charge, and the ex-chancellor committed a breach of the law In dis closing state secrets, and Is rather of the chnracter of nn insufficient nHlogy for his course, an apology which only out of deference to the great name of Prince Bismarck can possibly be ac ce pted. 15ASIJD ON AN OLD FKI7D. Prince Bismarck's persistent attacks upon bis successor and the crown as well are supposed to be based upon the presumed leaning of the Kaiser toward England, nnd has a distinction with the ex-chnncellor'B old feud with the Kmnress Frederick, to whose In fluence he has attributed the thwart ing of his Russo-German policy. No body suspects tbe prince of being act uated by other thnn patriotic motives, but his blas'for his personal opinions has alwnvs made him Intolerant of opposition. A majority of the press of all shades while discussing the matter from their respective political points of view are rather sympathetic with the old chancellor than otherwise. The snecch recently delivered In While Haven, England, by Lord Lons dale, wlio is nn Intimate friend of the emperor, In defence of the kaiser's course In sendln a telegram some months ago to President Kruger, of Trasvaal republic, congratulating the latter unon his prompt and effective suppression of the Jameson raid, has greatly added to the anti-English feel ing, prevailing In tlermnny, and height ened the suspicion that English family inlluence Is still very much too strong in the German court. Lord Lonsdale's explanations of the emperor's course certninly do not make amends for his unqualified assertion that the kaiser was never hostile to England's policy in the Transvaal.
