Maay Republicans Not Satisfied With
the Dingley Bill.
WILL PROBABLY BE A CAUCUS I
; is Believed That the Administration
Party In the Senate Will Decide Against
the Dingley Measure-Senator Chand
ler Favors a Short Time Loan.
Washington, Nov. SR. Thorn Is such n
diversity of opinion among Kopubllcnn
sonators in the city ai to tho courso to bo
pursued at tho next session with refcronco
td tho tariff that It is considered quite
piobablo a caucus will bo hold vory curly
In tho sossloii to decide upon a lino of no
tion. Senator Shormau Is still under
stood i to hold to tho opinion that tho
DlnglOy bill should and could bo passed
nt tho nppToachlnp; session, whllo other
ltepubllcuu sonators disagree with nun,
eomo as to tho wisdom of tho moasuro
and others as to tho possibility of gottlng
It through. It Is bolloved that a lino of
notion can bo ugreod upon In a party con
ference, which will bo satisfactory to all,
and which when It Is onco decided upon
will render unnecessary much useless agi
tation. Tho Indications now nro that tho
decision of the caucus will bo against tak
ing up tho Dingloy bill.
bonator Ch.indlor' said today that ho
thought congrcs( should mako provision
for a short tlmo loan at tho coining session.
'X believe, " ho said, "wa can nuthorlzo a
short time loan limited to fuO,000,000 or
$100,000,000. Provision may bo mado for
such a loan within nfow years. If wo
have not tho money It has to bo borrowed,
and It Is offensive to ovory one to havo tho
government resort to tho roundabout and
evaslvo methods adopted by Mr. Cleveland
In tho loans ho has negotiated. Authority
should bo glvon at onco for short tlmo
loans, so that tho government may bo
gotten out when It llnds Itself In a hole."
'Would you mako any provision for tho
redemption and rotlromont of tho green
backs? ' asked tho reporter.
"No, I am not in favor of tho rotlromeut
of tho greenbacks nt this tlmo. At present
the banks ucod thorn in their reserves. If
they did not havo thorn they would havo
to hold their rosorvos In gold. Tho thing
to do now Is to provldo means for gottlug
monoy until wo can put ravenno legisla
tion Into offoct Thoro will havo to boon
extra session of tho Fifty-fifth congress, In
my Judgment, and wo will then enact both
revenue and financial legislation. I do not
see how wo can accomplish uuythlng as to
cither of thoso questions at tho coming
session."
Tho souator oxprossod tho opinion that
the noxt sosslon would bo a qulot ono. "Tho
Itcpubllcans are not disposed to crow," hu
said, "and I sea no opening for a rumpus
except betwoon tho sllvor Democrats and
tho gold Democrats."
Ho expressed tho opinion that tho silver
Itepubllcans would be admitted to tho
Hcpuhllcnn caucus if thoy wanted to go
In. "Wo shnll not oxoludo any sonator
Who wants to como in," he said.
"Speaking for mysolf, as a Democrat,"
said Sonator Hoach, of North Dakota, "I
would not lnterpofco any factious objec
tion to such tariff legislation as tho He
publican majority might doslro to under
take. Thoy say that prosperity is to fol
low Republican supremacy, and 1 am will
ing to lot them- havo atrial, and if It Is
successful to gtvo thorn credit for It. 1 do
not know what general polloy tho Domu
cratsln the sonato may docldo upon In
this rogard,ibut thoso with whom I havo
talked have not oxprcssod any Intention
of opposing tho program of tho majority."

A DELAWARE LAW,
Which Stay Invalidate tlio Klcctlon ol
tlio Governor.
DoVEll. Del., Nov. 2o. A question was
raised hero yesterday by counsel for tho
Doniocrnts In tho mandamus proceedings
to. compel tho Kent county canvassing
board to rocunvcuo and count tho voto on
tho recent olectlon, upon which may de
pend not only tho titles of thoso at present
holding olllce, but also tho legality of any
not of any olllclal of tho state outsldo of
tho city of Wilmington elected slnco lbOl.
ltihas been discovered that whon tho law
otlbsa was ropoaled, which law provided
for what wero known In Delnwaro as
"llttlo" or October elections, provision
was mado for tho olectlon of assessors for
oach hundred, but not for tho olectlon ol
Inspectors, although tho ballot law undor
which tho elections arc) now conducted
sieclflcnlly states what tha duties of tho
Inspectors shnll bo.
1'ha man who unearthed this lnw,
strangoly onough, Is not n monvbor of tho
bar. although ho conies of n family or law
yers. It was John F. Saulsbury, of Dover.
He ralsod tho point, nnd, moro than any
thing olso, It has glvon tho Democrats
confldonco In tho outcomo of tho proceed
ings henrd by tho superior court yoster-
dav. It was tho main basis of argument,
after It had boon decided by tho court that
tho sheriff, In making himself a party to
tho writ In his return, had not committed
a legal blundor, because ho was a mombor
of tho board of canvass, although not an
inspector of election. Tho Infusion of this
nrgumont Intel tho case throw consterna
tion Into tho ranks of tho civil and Jii'
dlclnl olllccrs of tho stato, and it Is re
garded as a possibility that oven tho elec
tion of governor might bo Invalidated.

THE CONNECTION ALMOST MADE.
Only Grading and Ballasting Remains to
be Done and on Saturday Trains May
he Run From Boston Run to Frack
villa on the Road.
If thoro Is any prospect of a settlement of
tho dlll'ercnccd between tho Philadelphia &
Beading and Llttlo .Schuylkill railroads by a
ro-lcns!ng of tho latter road by tho former
company it has failed to manifest ltclf at
St. Nicholas and lloston Run, whero tho
it It. company has its big force of car
penters, track men and navvies working liko
lioavers to push tho lloston Itun connection
to completion.
1 ho work lias been pushed bo rapidly since
Monday night that the switches havo been
putlu ut both ends, the embankment lias
been run well across tho valley, tho cribbing
Is well advanced and many of tho rails have
been laid. Tho balance of tho work required
to bo dono Is grading and ballasting and the
whole eight hundred or moro yards of road
will bo ready for trnllic by Saturday next.
Owing to tho great advance made Monday
night and yesterday it was not considered
necessary to continue work last night, so
that the orders for tho portablo electric light
plant to bo sent from Heading wero counter
manded and tho men quit work at six o'clock
last ovening until this morning.
Charles llurchlll, of the Mansion House.
Mahanoy City, has the contract forsupplylng
tho workmen with meals.
Up to tho present time the Littlo Schuyl
kill Company has not withdrawn its refusal
to accept from the Heading a yearly rental of
5 instead of 7 per cent, on the capital stock
of tho road, but an impression prevails that
it will do so eventually. In such an event
tho Frackvillo branch will not bo put in
operation, but it will bo probably held in re
servo by tho Heading for any other emergen
cies that may arise.
It is stated that the eauso for the reduction
in tho dividends of sonio of tho leased lines
was that tho rate was fixed when the ellua
tlon was diTerent. When some of these lines
wero first leased, tho Philadelphia & I!ead
ing Kallroad Company was then paying a
largo dividend, and at that time money was
lending anywhere from 7 to 10 per ceut
Many corporations were paying large dlvi
dends, but now conditions havo changed, nnd
money is not only lower, but there Is not 1
per cent, of tho railroads in this country
that pay 10 per cent, dividends, and not over
5 per cent, of them that pay 7 per cent, divi
dends. Conditions have changed, but while
the Philadelphia & Heading I tall road Com
pany was conducting the business no change
could bo mado.
.Some tlmo ago a proposition was made to
the b plilers of tho 5 and 1 per cent, bonds of
tho Philadelphia & Cho-ter Valley Itailroad
Company to accept a reduction in tho rate of
interest from 5 to 1 per cent, nnd from I to :i
percent. It is said that holders of all but
about t percent of the bonds have asi-cntid
to the reduction.
