THE SILVER BILL. Mr. James (N.Y.) called up the silver bill. Mr. Dibbrell (8. C.) opposed the unlimited coin- age of silver at this time. He was not opposed to silver. He was in favor of international bi- metallism if it could be obtained, and if it could not be obtained he was in favor of national bi- metallism. If we opened our mints now we would lose our gold and receive silver at a dis- count of 20 per cent. It would dissipate for- ever any hope of international agreement. It would not be advantageous to the country or to silver itself, At the same time he did not sub- seribe to the idea that the silver dollar was a fraud—it was a bona fide dollar, He favored the suspension of silver coinage for a definite period, One or two years. MR, HERBERT FAVORS THE ADMINISTRATION. Mr. Herbert (Ala.) premised his speech with the declaration that in the President and in the success of his administration lay the hope of democratic ascendancy, aud he had no sym- pathy with those democrats who seemed to think that the hope of democracy lay in the festruction of the present administration. He favored the rehabilitation of silver, but did not think that this government by itscif was equal tothe task of rehabilitating it, Any attempt to do this by the passage of the pending bi would result In an incomeof silver dnd an oatgo of gold, int Bland dented the statement in a morn- ing paper that he did not expect a majority of the Hause to vote for tree colwage, won The Library Bill. SCENE IN THE SENATE AFTER ITS PASSAGE— PROBABILITY THAT IT WILL SOON BECOME A Law. When ee presitent of the Senate formally announced the passage of the library bill to-day several Senators exclaimed earnestly, “amen.” Mr. Voorhees’ face was illuminated with a broad smile of gratification. He was earnestly congratulated on every hand upon the triumph ofa measure for which he had labored so long and so diligently. Senator Morrill immediately crossed over and gave Senator Voorhees a cor- dial shake, In several minutes Librarian Spof- ford rushed into the chamber delighted at the result plainly manifesting itself upon his coun- tenance. He grasped Senator Voorhees with both hands and gloried in the fact that the long fight was practically ended. ‘tis belleved that the President will approve it without delay, and It 1s the intention of the gentlemen designated as the commission— Librarian Spofford, Secretary Lamar and Archi- feet Clark-“to begin operations immediately. ‘Their object 1s to have the work of construction begin at the earliest possible day. ‘The District in Congress.

NO DISCONTENT WITH THE ADMINISTRATION— THE DEMOCRATIC CHANCES OF ELECTING A UNITED STATES SENATOR GooD, Representative Bynum, of Indiana, says that when the result is figured out it will be seen that the republicans have not won much of a vietory in Center township (Indianapolis and vicinity); that there is not a difference of fifty in their majority for township trustee from that by which Blaine carried the township, Itis probably an increase over Blaine’s majority by about twenty votes, He says the election has no material significance, and that the republi- ean success, which consists simply in electing their man to a place that has been filled for two terms by a democrat, is not due to any discontent with the national ad- ministration, ‘The real trouble, he says, was on gcrount of things purely local. ‘The township trusteo has almost absolute power, levying taxes, regulating schools and having absolute control of the “poor fund; and this leads to ir- Tegularities and charges of corruption. It was charged that the last democrat who served as township trustee was mixed up in. the issue of the fraudulent township orders (khown as the Indiana bonds), about which there has been so much scandal; and there hud been charges of mismanagement, &c., which led to a change. It is customary, he says, for the two parties to alternate in holding this office. REPRESENTATIVE KLEINER SAYS that the trouble in his town, which changed a democratic majority to a republican majority of nearly the same size, was that ihe democrats would not contribute a dollar; they would not give even enough to pay for the printing of ickets, THE MOST STARTLING CHANGE in the political complexion of things was in Wayne county, where Mr, Edgerton, the civil service commissioner, came from. There, where the democrats had always had sway by & majority of about 1,500 the republicans this Hime plied up 3,000 majority, a gain of 4,500. It was hinted that the appointment of another civil service commissioner trom Indiana would throw the state over to the republicans beyond dispute. . THE SENATORSHIP. Mr. Bynum says that taking the state all over, Judging by the municipal elections, he thinks the democrats would have it, The re- sult as it stands, he says, will have no effect upon the election of a successor to Senator Har- rison In January, ‘The democrats will beyond all doubt elect "the legislature in November, and will have a large majority for a democrat— either McDonald or Gray—to succeed Harrison. In the senate the democrats huve 16 out of the 25 who will hold over, thus giving them a ma- Jority of that body to’ start with, and he pre- «iets that they will have at least'90, and prob- ably 100, out of the 150 in the lower house. As to which will be stronger, Gray or McDonald, ‘he says no one can tell yet; "but that the only: two counties that have Instructed have been for McDonald, EFFECT OF ELECTION FRAUDS. Mr. Bynum thinks the democratic defeats in Chicago and Cincinnati are easily accounted for by the troubles they have been having in these places on account of the election frauds that have been exposed. e pate sien ta ee WORK ON THE RIVER FLATS. No Money to be Used on the Sections Where the Title is Disputed. COL, HAINS SETS FORTH THE NECESSITY OF PROSECUTING OTHER PORTIONS OF THE WORK IN ORDER TO SAVE LOSS TO THE GOVERN- MENT, “There is no ‘intention of spending a cent on that part of the Potomac flats included in the Kidwell claim,” said Col. Hains toa STAR re- porter to-day. “The Kidwell claim,” he con- Unued, “comprises about forty-eight acres lying in the section between Easby’s Point and the sewer canal, and separated from the shore. That section known as section one has already | been filled in, under the opinion of the Attor- ney General that the Kidwell claim was no bar to the prosecution of the work. It might be well to spend a few thousand dollars in forming a protecting embankment along the outside of this section, but it 1s not absolutely necessary. Even such work would be removed from the Kidwell claim.” DREDGING IN THE VIRGINIA CHANNEL. “What is absolutely necessary, however,” he,| said, “is to continue the dredging in the Vir- ginia channel until the improvement so far made could not be injured by allowing the Work to come to a stand still, As itstands now the Virginia channel has not been dredged deep enough to form a sufficient outlet for hizh water, The result is that the water swe) across the area between the sewer canaland the Long bridge, and reaching still water in the Washington channel below the Long bridge, de- posits all the debris and mud right in that channel, where the work of dredging has been conducted, The ice gorges last winter and the freshets this spring filed in the Washington channel considerably, and incalculable damage would be done if the work at its present stage should be suspended for any length of time.” THE WORK ALREADY DONE IN DANGER, “What is proposed to be done?” asked THE Sraz reporter. just this,” was the reply. “We want anap- propriation to continue the dredging of the Vir- ginia channel until itis deep enough to carry off by itself high water, freshetsor floods. ‘Then We can close up thut portion of the flats in which the tidal reservoir is to be constructed, between the sewer canal and the Long brid so that the water, high or low, can be confin in the Virginia channel, thereby enabling us to close up the Washington channel at the Long bridge, so that it would be impossible to fill it Until that stage of the work is reached the im- provement is always in danger. It is to bring the work to, that stage that we ‘need an appro- Priation so badly Just now. You see, the kid- well flats would not be touched, but the Wash- ington channel would be saved. THE CANAL CLAIM, “How about the reported claims of the Ches- apeake and Ohio canal company?” asked the reporter. “We wouldn’t be near them either,” was the reply. “The work would be conducted on that part of the river to which the government has Unquestioned title. ‘The canal lots, 50 called, are in the vicinity of Easby’s Point,’and some of them, I think, include part of the Kidwell claim, 86 that one claim is on top of the other, and the question of title, if there is such & thing, can only be settled {n court,” +o. —___ ‘The Washington City Presbytery.

So great Was the rush expected that the official caterer Posted a notice yesterday that he would serve breakfast to members from 8:30.

His voice was fresh, strong and evidently enduring. Be- fore the night watebmen in the house were re- lieved or the lights were extinguished a num- ber of members of parliament, gentlemen pos- sessed of an assured admittance, began to ar. rive to make themselves doubly certain of their privileges by getting to their seats eleven hours before Mr. Gladstone would reach the house.

It is alleged, however, that Mr. Sullivan secured his advaniage by bribing ‘@ friendly policeman to permit him to have acess by way of the back stairs. The South Westmeath member was not long the sole occupant of the echoing chamber. He was almost immediately followed by a score of Par- neliite coileagues, “The rule regarding the seats is_practically “first come, first served.” It was not long before all the Parnellites were in the house and they preempted the best places. All got places to front Mr. Gladstone during his speech, The inrush of the British members followed close upon the advent of the Parneliites. It was yet early in the morning when allthe seats on the floor were taken. ‘The seat chosen in order to be retained must be Ucketed with the hat of the member who means to occupy it and the hat must be the hat he is wearing that day and no substitution Is permitted. “This rule retains the members within the limit agreeable totraverse with bare heads, The present generation NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A “HATTING” SCENR as occurred in the house of commons this morn- ing long before London was awake. A number of members were afrald to trust to the honor of their colleagues for maintenance of the ruies on an occasion like that of to-day, and these re- tained possession of their chosen seats by re- maining in them bodily all the day. When they got hungry or thirsty they had food and drink brought in to them. Some of them had been up all night struggling to get in, and these generally fixed. themselves as comfortably: as peaiblo and step, The bolder, pre-smplors however, retreated before the dust brooms an the washitubs.
