TWO MORE NEEDED

Ex
Wsiii.sfiToy,Oct.21. When the dem
ocratic steering committee of the senate
had completed it sitting today, 37 dem
ocratic senator had pledged themselves
to support the committee's compromise
repeal measure, and the manager felt
assured of a sufficient number, to bring
the total up to 41, leaving only two more
necessary to insure the passage of the
bill by democratic vote. The senators
holding out against the bill are said to
tie Mill and Vilas, of the repeal bill
side, and Irby, of the silver ide. Some
of the repeal men have not aa yet actually
attached their names to the pledge, but
the committee extcts to secure the
names of all democratic senators, and
will rush the bill through as a party
measure and without calling upon the
republicans for help. Most of the re
publicans hope the democrats will suc
ceed in this, for the bill is one which
does not commend itself to either the re
peal or silver faction in the republican
ranks. The repeal men are pleased only
with the clause limiting silver purchases
to a year, while the silver men find in
this a reason of hope for further exten
sion of silver purchase, and think it
better than an unconditional repeal.
AS AN AMENDMENT.
The committee's recommendation will
be put in the shape of an amendment of
the Voorhecs bill, and will probably re
ceive the support of most of the silver
republican as an amendment, while the
bill will, as amended, be opposed by
them. This is a probability against the
passing of the bill. t It seem more than
probable that if the democrats secure
the concurrence of their entire party in
the senate, the republican will make no
effort at united action. The silver men,
if all parties are pleased, will accept the
bill. A at present arranged, the bill
will expire in tbe midst of the next con
gressional election, and probably there
will be an effort to amend the amend
ment extending the purchasing time a
year. The silver men think it possible
they may secure sufficient republican
support to put this through ; but, all
circumstances ccrtisidered, it is .scarcely
probable. One of tbe advantages which
the silver men find in the committee's
amendment of the original bill ia that it
gives them ground to stand on wiiile the
silver fight shall be waged in the foture.
They say the entire silver fight in reality
has only begun ; that the present bill is
only a stipulation for a brief time, and
that it will be presented vigorously in
the regular session.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
'If the Knubllrn Offered the Lord's
Prayer the Denocrati Would
. Oppose."
From our regular eorrenpoudeiit.
W'ashinuton, Oct. 20, 1893.
Senator Sherman truly represented
the position of the republican senators
when be said in the great epeech he
made thia week : "In times past we
never shrunk from responsibility. We
were republicans because we believed in
republican principles and men and
measures. But whenever a question
came up that had to be decided, we
never pleaded the baby act, or said that
we could not agree. We met together
in conclave and there agreed, and in
that way we passed all the great laws
which have marked American history in
the last thirty years. Of course demo
crats opposed us. I think that if the re
publicans were to olTer the Ten Com
mandments or the Lord's Prayer, the
democrats would oppose them. Now we
do not stand in that attitude. We ask
our brother senator on the other side to
meet together and consult with each
other. If they do not like the presi
dent's plans let them give uome ot her,
In God's name, and let us settle this im
portant question, and then we will take
it into our consideration. If we can
agree with you we will do so. , If we can
not agree with you we will not follow
your example, but will give you a manly
'No.' ,
"We must decide this silver question
one way or the other. If you cannot do
It and will retire from the senate chain tier
we will fix it on thia side of the chamber,
and do the best we can with our silver
friends who belong to us and who are
blood of our blood and bone of our bone.
But your Is the proper duty: and,
therefore, I beg of yon, not in reproach
or anger, to perform it. You have the
supreme honor of being able to settle
this question now ; and you ought to do
it. That is all that I can say."
The silver democratic senators thought
Senator Sherman's advice to "meet to-
gemer, gooa, ami prepared a call lor a
democratic caucus decision. The ad
ministration senator mostly refused to
sign, knowing that a majority of the
democratic senators are opposed to the
oorhees bill and that the caucus deci
lion would consequently be against that
bill, but at sufficient number of signa
ture were secured to compel Senator
Gorman, who is chairman of the caucus
committee, to call a caucus. But there
can be nothing definite abaut its actior,
because tbe democrats who do not at
tend will not be bound. It may, how-
ever, result in getting the silver demo
crats to agree upon eome sort of com
promise, which they have not yet done.
If Mr. Cleveland had not called off the
administration senators, compromise
would have been reached early this
week. How this affected the democrats
may be judged by Senator Morgan's
criticism of him in his speech. He said :
"lam disposed to say to the president,
'When you leave the executive mansion
and come here to guide ns ifi legislation,
you must not teel at all affronted if we
take up the veto power and use it on
you. You shall not interfere with us.' "
How the two wings of the democratic
party can be got together is not at this
time apparent.
Many people have been puzzled at the
non-action of the state judiciary com
mittee on the nomination of Mr. Horn
blower to the supreme court vacancy,
which has been costly and inconvenient
to lawyers and litigants in cases which
the chief justice insists shall only be
heard by a full bench, but the secret is
now out. It is another case of Senator
Hill's peanut ipolitica. Mr. Hornblower
was one of the democratic lawyers of
New York who openly condemned the
criminal acta of Judge Maynard, who
heads the recently-nominated demo
cratic state ticket, and Senator Hill is a
member of the senate judiciary commit
tee to which Hornbower's nomination
was referred. , The New York 4xss
thought he saw an opportunity for re
venge, both on Hornblower and on the
administration, bv hanging up the
nomination and making a pretense of
being able to defeat it. He then sent
word to Deputy President Dan Lamont
that if the administration would in some
public way endorse the candidacy of
judge Maynafd be would withdraw his
opposition to Hornblower's confirma
tion. That is tbe whole Btory as far as
it Uas gohe.
The democratic member of the house
way and mfcans committee say that the
imposition of an income tax has been
decided upon and that it only remains
to determine where it shall begin the
lowest income that shall be taxed what
the rate of taxation shall be and how it
shall be collected.
Slowly but surely the democrat are
carrying out the threat of Senator
Blackburn to repeal every vestige of war
legislation. The house this week passed
a bill amending the Revised Statutes so j
that proof of loyalty shall not be neces
sary in any application for bounty land
where the proof otherwise shows that
the applicant ia entitled thereto.

arraigna the senator for not agreeing on
a 20 to 1 ratio and says the reason they
do not ia due to the obstinacy of the

that the present session would be an

that they are frittering away their time
and accomplishing nothing. He be
lieves it will sound the death knell of
the democratic party.

Montreal, Oct. 23. Left destitute in
San Francisco, Mme. de Lavalle started
for Montreal several months ago with a
horse and buggy. She reached here la?t
evening on foot, and is in the Notre
Dame hospital in a dying condition from
the hardship and exposure of the
journey. Mme. de Lavalle' husband
died about a year ago, and her three
children were also carried off by tbe
smallpox. Having relatione here, she
started on her journey. At the end of a
fortnight her horse gave out, and from
that time the widow pursued her long
walk over the prairie and mountains
until Detroit waa reached, where she
rested awhile. Sometime she waa given
a ride by trainmen. For food she de
pended entirely upon charity, and her
shelter at night was aa often under a
tree as in a ahed or farmhouse. When
Montreal waa reached her clothe were
in tatters and her shoes worn out. Still
she persevered, and was leaving here for
her borne in Longueuil when she broke
down entirely, and waa picked up in an
unconscious condition on the wharf near
the ferry landing and taken to the hos
pital. Her skeleton-like appearance
and her wandering mind attest her com
plete physical and mental breakdown.
OVER TIIK ATLANTIC.
ProfeMor Ilaien. of the Hlznal Office,
Will Attempt It In a Balloon.
In Monday's Oregonian is a tw'o col
umn profoundly interesting article, of a
balloon trip across the Atlantic contem
plated by Pro. Iluzen, of the United
States weather bureau. "
The balloon will be a small one com
paratively ieaking. An envelope con
taining 100,000 cubic feet should be
plenty big enough for "a voyage to
Europe. The material need is gold
beaters' skin, which is obtained from a
part of tiie intestines of the ox, called
the "necum." It i somewhat more
costly than cotton or even silk but it is
superior for the purKse in many way.
The main point I that a tight balloon
can be made of it, which i not practi
cable with any other substance hitherto
tried. The goldbeaters' skiit comes in
email sheets, the biggest obtainable
being 22x10 inches. It looks somewhat
like oiled tissue to the eye, but is not
porous. Six layers put together make
about the thickness of letter paper, with
nearly the same weight as silk. How
ever, four thicknesses will serve for a
bjlloon, the sheets being overlain upon
each other in such a w ay that there are
no joints or teams. The balloon will be
tilled witli hydrogen, which lias a lifting
power of 70 pounds for each 1,000 cubic
feet, will thus have a total lifting power
of 8,000 pounds. After loading with
passengers anil necessary equipments
there will be a margin of 5,o00 pounds,
which would be taken along ns ballast
in the shape of sand in bags.
Seed could be liest obtained by
traveling a high a 0,000 feet, because
the currents at that elevation aro two or
three time a fact aft thoMt near the
ocean.
It is moft important that theacroPAiit
should be able to place bis balloon at
any level of the atmosphere he pleases.
There'may be an unfavorable wind at
1,000 feet, aud at the same time just the
right breeze may blow at 10,000 feet.
Tim current at the latter altitudo are
always blowing from west to east across
the Atlantic, and for that reason there
should bo no difficulty in accomplishing
thetrip quickly. Professor Hazen think
of taking with him a small pilot balloon,
which may be run up to the height of a
mile above the great gasbag, so a to as
certain the direction of the breeze at a
higher level without taking the trouble
to ascend in order to find out.
It is an extraordinary circumstance
about ballooning that when a man has
gone up many times ho forgets danger
and becomes careless. At the same
time, the danger of ballooning has been
very much exaggerated. The accidents
which occur are invariably caused by
mismanagement or carelessness. With
proper control there ia no more peril at
tached to navigating the air than in rid
ing on a railway.
