or Victory.
WASHINGTON' , D. C. , Jul ; ' 23. Chairman
Durborow of tbo World's ' Columbian expo
sition committee said this afternoon , after
the adjournment of the house , that the fair
people would have n vote tomorrow on the
motion of Ocnorul Bingham to lay on the
table Judge Holuian'a motion to reconsider
the vote of concurrence on the senate $5,000-
000 amendment.
Mr. Ddrborow added thr.t they would
carry the motion by n quorum of tlio house
and win the light. The lilibdstorlng move
ment , ho said , wus aoout at Its end and
would bo killed tomorrow.
Mr. Durborow declared that the fair no-
proprlution proposition Is twenty votes
stronger this evening than it was yesterday ,
nnd that the lilibustorors were weaker
through the loss of several of thnlr men.
"And , " ho continued , " 1 know of three-
more man they will lose tonight. The IIII-
bustcrers were not over forty strong this
afternoon. "
Mr. Oulhwalto and others of the fillbust-
crors assorted that they would keen up their
light and ultimately win , though it is not ao-
niod that they have lost several men who re
fused to continue to remain in Washington
and that they are weaker In some respects
than yesterday.
' rilihiiHlurnrx Wiint to Compromise.
The fiilhustorcrs are endeavoring to force
a compiomlse , and have made offers to the
World's lair people of n basis of settlement
for the deadlock. This would scorn to hour
out the assertion of the World's fair man
agers that the opposition is weakening. It
seems likely on tno whole that bafnio the
end ot the week a settlement will bo reached ,
ns tbo majority of the members nro wenry of
the continuance of the session and a quorum
can haidly up hold much longer.
The principal compromise was made by
Mr. Outnwntto to Mr. Durborow. It was
that tbo World's fair managers accept an
amendment to the sundry civil bill providing
for a loan instead of nn appropriation of $ . " > , -
000,000. Tbo pro , osition was promptly de
clined. The house has already concurred In
the sennto amendment , and before it could
aunpt u loan proposition it would be neces
sary for It to reconsider Its previous action.
Another compromise talked or among mem
bers contemplated thu elimination of the
5" > ,0)0,000 ( ) appropriation from the sundry
civil bill and the adoption of nn ironclad
rtilo that at n certain hour on the first
Wednesday in December a vote bo taken on
n bill to appropriate $5OUOOJI ) In aid of the
World's fair , the bill to bo an independent
measuie und ono on which n vote could bo
bud immediately. Tbo World's fair people
paid little attention to this proposed com
promise.
Will Try unit Force u Voto.
The World's fair managers will make a
vigorous effort tomorrow to put an end to
tbo filibustering. Thu final outcome in thu
event of a failure in this effort is very
doubtful , as a quorum cannot bo bold much
longer. The effort will doubtless bo made on
the resolution olTorcd In the house toJay by
Mr. BIngbatn , and referred to the rules com
mittee , providing for a vote tomorrow after
noon on bis motiou to table Holtnau's recon
sideration motion nnd then for succeeding
votes on other clauses relating to the fair.
An adjournment of congress can very
spcodilv follow any conclusion as to the sun
dry civil bill. It is enrolled and the clerical
work necessary to prepare It for slguuturo Is
practically completed.

Nnw YOHK , July 28. George K. Ststaro , a
banker , committed suicide by shootiuir this
morning in a room at the Manhattan club.
Tlio police seemed to have an Idea that the
case might bo one of murder and not of aut-
cido , biit ut tbo club tlih theory was said to
be foolish. Ihreo shots had been llrcd fiom
tbo revolver. Or.o bullet had lodged In a
sofa and another bad struck the wall. The
third had penetrated Mr. Slstaro's right
touiplo. If Slstaro was shooting at himself ,
the pollco say , ho must b'lvo been a poor
shot to have lirod three times and to have
only nit himself with tbu third shot ,
It developed upon investigation that Sis-
tare was not a regular mombar of the Man
hattan club , und had only visited the club hut
onco.or twice before in company of u fnond.
The snooting occurred In iho reception loom
on the tlrst lloor. There were no letters or
papers found on the per.son nf Mr. Slstaro to
Intimate that ho contemplated taking his
own life.
At the Manhattan club it was said that Mr.
SI tare hail called at the club and asked to
see Lawyer Henry S. Donnott. Ho was
ushered into the reception room und his card
sent up to Mr. Bennett. Shortly afterward *
Mr. Bennett , entered the reception room ,
three shots worn llrid and Mr. Ucnnolt
rushed out crvlne , "Ho has killed himself.1

Hoprosentutivo Kum has amazed his nllt-
anco brothers In the house once more. Ho
cast u vote yesterday which shields national
bankers nnd protects banning interests.
Representative Dalzull ot Pennsylvania In
troduced u resolution so comprehensive as to
compel the soctotary of the treasury to un
cover all the nencrttl transactions of the
banning systems , both national und private ,
so far iis the department Is concerned , during
the past IIfteen or twenty or thlr'y years.
It called for a statement as to the total
amount of taxes paid by national banks to
the United States government ; the totnl
they have paid to the several
states and municipalities in which
they nro located ; the amount of
taxes paid by all kinds of b.inks and bank
ing associations under the acts of Mnrcti 20 ,
ItjOT , mid May I , 1SJ7 , imposing n tax of 1U
per cent on state bank issues ; what amount
of money has been lou to national bank note
holders by fnlluro of b.mks to redeem , nnd n
statement of what nmount of money was lost
by holders of stale bank notes between 1S50
mui tbo period when national banks were
organized.
Mr. Ketn voted "no" on the quostlon of
adopting this resolution. Ncbraskaus and
others uro usklng why it was , if Mr. Kom
believes state banks are the bast and national
banks have robbed the people , ho refused to
compel the secretary of the treasury , from
the ofllclal records , to make an exposition of
state bank Interests under the old roglroo
aud expose tbo national bunking operations.
It is clear that Mr. ICcm knov that it those
figures were forthcoming ho and his "Inde
pendent" colleagues would have nothing to
bowl about and misrepresent during the com-
inir campaign. It is not facts that they want ,
but an opportunity to falsify facts.
After the house refused to adopt the
resolution , Senator Sherman offered it in the
senate , where it wus promptly adopted.
Itopulillcun Campaign I'luns.
The movements of Chairman Carter of the
republican national committee were followed
with itront interest today by every active
politician in Washington who coula escape
from the capitol. The most sensational re
sults were impacted from the visit of the
chairman , but bis interviews with any num
ber of senators and representatives who
called upon him at the Arlington hotel , to
name whom would bo almost to rehearse a
directory of congress , did not after
all reveal much us to the gen
eral political situation. Mr. Carter bold
an interview with President Harrison nt the
white house during the day and declined to
say a word for publicrtlon.
Olijuut ol the Conference.
THU BBC'S correspondent was able to
learn , however , from u source absolutely
authoritative , these f nets : First The visit
of Mr. Carter has especial reference to the
general plan of the republican campaign ,
and also to gome of its details.
Second His visit involved a discussion of
the situation In Now York nnd of the re
spective attitudes of Messrs. Platt , Warner
and Bliss toward the national republican
ticket.
Third His discussion with the president
included n careful review of the possibility
of currying some of tbo southern scales , not
ably Tennessee. North Carolina and West
Virginia , for the republican ticket.
His upon equally high authority that the
statement Is made that at thu con
ference between the president and
Mr. Carter today nn understanding
was reached that Mr. Plan's coultol of the
party organization in New York would not
bo interfered with in uuy way. Ho will bo
asked to do all that bo can to secure tbo
electoral vote of Now York for tlio lepub-
llc.ins nnd tbo request will bo made in such
terms as to make bis acqulojconco Jccrtaln.
It is believed that after Mr. i'U.lt has seen
Mr. Carter , his support of the republican
lickel will not be perfunctory , but enthusi
astic.

Perhaps tbo visit of Collector Hendrlcks to
Washington today had something to do with
securing cany harmony in Now Yon : ,
Mr. Hondricics said tonight that it
hud not , that ho was bore merely
on "odlcial business , " bu , it would bo un
usual "onicial" business that would carry
inn collector of the port of New York , nttor
a prolonged Interview with Secretary
of the Treasury Foster , to the
white house for a prolonged chut
with the president , and then send him
loniubt to the private residence of Secretary
Foster for another coulldenllal interview.
Still Mr. Hendncks assured Tun linn cor
respondent that Ills mission to Washington
had not the slightest connection with poli
tics.
Think bnrrt'HS Curlnln.
Mr. Carter was enthusiastic In nil that ho
said about tlio prospect of ropu llcan victoiy
in the coining campaign. Success was cer
tain on tbo tariff Issue alone.
Among the many members of congress
who consulted with the republican national
chairman today was Kopresontalivu Houk
of Tennessee. Mr. Houk said uftnrivnrds :
"I have no doubt of a good chance for curry
ing Tennessee for the republican ticket this
lull. Tbo third party movement will cut
heavily Into the democratic vote. "
Secretary Fostur nnd Secretary Elkins
both held long consultations with Chairman
Carter. Tonight ex-Cliairmun Clarkson
spent an hour at the house of Senator Alli
son. Mr. Alllfon U chairman of tbo appro
priation ) ! committee of the senate , and Mr.
Clarkson was anxious to learn just how
llrnily the senate would insist upon refusing
to adjourn before pissing tbo sundry civil

-WASIIINOTOX , jb. C. , July 23. [ Special
Telegram to TiiS fliK.J : Senator Paddock
delivered n speech fn the senate today in
support of thn anttaption bill. After qtilto a
full and Interesting review of options
futures nnd Iho method of doallnc In produce
oxrhingos , bow the gamblers on the
board 11 rat depress the marxot
with the view of forcing notual holder * of
cniln to sell , and when the prlco has been
greatly reduced , buyine under cover laccoly ,
and after disposing of nil ot tholr holdings at
the top ot tbo market , selling many bushels
beyond for the short account , thov repent the
same tactics to run prices down ngutn
to the lowest Ifivel with n view of
maklncnu enormous pioflton the bear snlo ,
Mr. Paddock said : "The farmer furnishes
the substance to bo speculated on. His labor
and his capital Imvo produced It , Doforo all
others ho Is entitled to n free nnd
unobstructed market , but alone of ull
loultlmato producers ho U rolusod It for his
principal products. These uro taken posses-
slon of by u vast , nrmy of men who toil not ,
upon whoso brows Author not the sweat from
the labor which Ita \ appointed unto nil men
to perform. Their stock-in-trade Is princi
pally wind , which they possess without limit
either as to quantity or quality , but when
they have at length put the farmer's grain
on tbo market ho Is wholly unable to iccog-
nlzo it. He finds that it has become so
swollen by iho tvind forced Into It that for
every busnol boforo'It loft the farm there
are now fifty to 100 , and In thn transforma
tion process It has become principally wind.
"Ho is nss'ured thtit this result , which
places on the market fifty or 100
bushels or this now variety of wlinntintho
place of each bushel which ho lias put Into
the deal , helps to make the market active. "
Hun l > [ umt > ct the Kiirniur.
Speaking of the agricultural Industry ho
said : "Tho dealing in options nnd futures
has brouslit that Industry to the vcrv brink
of ruin , polluting all tbo streams of legiti
mate commerce leading to and from It. It
bas lowered thn standard of business morals ,
made millionaires ot tbo fo-.v und paupers of
tbo multitude , among whom nro found tlu
ropiesontatlves of every profession , ovorv
trade , every vocation nnd every social class.1 '
Mr. Paddock read n letter from George J.
S. Broomhall , editor of the Corn Traao News
of Liverpool , to O , Wbod D.ivls of Kansas ,
staling that it wasitho custom of dealer * lu
wheat at Liverpool nnd In other European
markets to send to ths country and make
enormous short sales , thus hedging acainst
their holdings of wheat , on the other side.
Air. Paddock said , as to the extent of these
short sales by foralgn holders , thut It was
practically the importation duty free of n
corresponding nmount of wheat to add to our
supply and depress tbo market by this vol-
umo.
umo.Mr. . Paddock said that Iho official report
of sales OH the New York Produce exchange
for 1SSIO MIOWS that l'J3Syrr,000 bushels of
wheat were sold aridt teat oJ. this amount
only 2'J'J'J1V000 busuels , 'represented actual

It Is Declared Uncontltiitlomil by the Su-

LIXSING , Mich. , July 28. The supreme
court has decided that the bill passed
by the last legislature gcrry-
mnndorlog tbo legislative districts.
Is unconstitutional , and ordered the
secretary of state to Issue notices of election
in uccordanco witn the rodistricUng not ot
IbSI.
IbSI.Justice
Justice Grant , In hU opinion declaring the
senatorial serrymaudor uct of Ib'Jl ' Invalid ,
says :
"Tne apportionment ncls of 1891 and 18S5
are unconstitutional and void. The secretary
of stale Is restrained from issuing notices
under the act of IbOl , but not under lhal of
1SS5. unless the governor shall cult a special
session of the legislature.
"This net is held unconslitutionnl upon the
Inequality of the apportionment. A
county lo have two senators must have
a ralio nnd u moiety ot a ratio of
population. Unless it bo held that
tbo unconstitutionallty of Ibo act of 1835 run
been removed by its being ucquicsred in in
the late elections , it is uffoctcd with the same
constitutional infirmity uu tbo act of 18'Jl ,
U is my opinion that notices should bu given
under Iho act of 188.1 , as It has boon acqui
esced in , but I bold to tbo opinion ot my
brethren. "
Chief Justice Mono agrees with tbo opin
ion of JusticoGrant :
In ginntini ; a mandamus In the case of the
supervisors sof Hougblon County against
Stale of Michigan , which declares iho repre
sentative apportionment net of 1891 void ,
Justice Grant says It is not Intended by the
constitution that u county snould bo divided
In forming representative districts , un
less It bo entitled to more than one
representative , and then the division
shall bo made uy the Board of Super
visors. It is clear that the constitutional
provisions were violated and Ignored. If ono
county can bo dismembered all can. Under
the moiety plan of apportionment , Houghton ,
Menominee , Monlcalm , Tuscola , Sallnac nnd
Mncomb counties uoulu each bo entitled to
two representatives. Of these alx counties
if three were left out it should bo the three
last named , as they nave Iho least popula
tion , but the legislature reversed tbe consti
tutional order of preference- and gave two
senators to the Inst named three counties und
but one each lo the first throe. The act ot
IS',11 Is void becuso U attemplod to dismem
ber Houghto.i county nnd violated tlio con
stitution in citing Ibo counties two repro-
Honlativci that had less population than tbo
counties accorded but one.
"An examination of thoacl nf 18111 shows ll
lo have been within the constitutional ills-
crotion of iho legislature , nnd the notlcji
ruubt bo L'ivon under It unless iho legislature
makes a now and valid apportionment in

The court arrives at un unanimous conclu
sion from practically the same standpoint ,
