WAITING FOR THE BALLOT Silver and Anti-Silver Men Anxiously Look Forward to Today's Vote , FATE OF THE REPEAL DILL IN THE BALANCE Tlmt It Will PnM the Hondo There U No Ilntilil Momn of tl o 1'ccullnr of tlio rrcdcnt Cur rency ABltiitloil. WASITIKOTOK , Aug. 27. The financial do nate Is closed and the line of battle is now being sharply drawn for the decisive contest that will take place In the house of repre sentatives tomorrow. The leaders of both sides have exerted every effort to have their men all here , and It Isoxpcctcd that the first roll call will find almost every member of the house pre.sent nnd voting. There Is ap parently no Inclination on the part of any of the representatives to doilgolbo Issue , and ns most of them have had an opportunity to explain on the floor their reasons "for action , It Is expected the record will show n full vote on every proposition. The result of Iho successive roll calls of tomorrow Is no longer a inaHnr of doubt to any ono familiar with the situation. The frco colnugO'blll to bo offered by Mr. Bland as a substitute for the repealing bill of Mr. Wilson , will bo de feated. The exact vote Is uncertain , ns the fealty of certain members to the measure de pends much on the ratio that receives the largest support in the house. It was the impression two weeks ago that the largest ratio to be voted upon 20 to 1 would bo the most , popular , ns the Impression nt that tune was gentr.il that n revision of the ratio of colnago would bo necessary if the frco coin- ngo men could hope for a victory in the light of the recent depression in silver. Favor thn Old Itiitlo. This impression received a check n week ngo , however , in the announcement of Jerry Simpson that the populist members would tolerate no departure from the existing ratio and would leave the frco coinage men in event of a rnllnro to adopt the old ratio of 10 to 1. This unnouncoincnt at . .onco . had Its effect on the sentiment tiint had been con stantly crowing up to that time , for immedi ately it dozen or more of the oldest free colnngo men announced that they would sup port no ratio but that of 10 to 1. Now there seems to bo no doubt that Instead of the highest ratio , 20 to 1. being the most popular , the old ratio of 10 to \ will reeelyo thu greatest vote and bo the only one seriously consid ered. But. whatever may bo the result of the vote on the separate ratios , tbo Blnnd bill will be rejected ns a substitute for the Wilson bill , and the majority for rejection will not bo less than forty. After the rojec- .tlon of the niand bill nnd uftur the question hns resolved Itself into the simple ono ot the rcpenl of the purchasing clause of the Slier- man law. the Wilson bill will be passed by it majority of not less than sixty. These figures nro conservative , and will bo borne cwt by tomorrow's developments if , indued , the majority for the Wilson bill bo not larger than the figures given. When It UotH to tlm Semite. Immediately after the passage of the Wil son bill It will bu reported to the senate , and If the usual course Isimrsued will bo referred to the committee on finance of that body. It is expected that the policy of the senate will be to let tbo bill slumber there , while all the efforts of the upper chamber are directed to securing the adoption of the repealing bill now pending In Unit body. The reason for this lsthat the repealing bill reported by the scnalo committee on finance is believed to bo superior to the house bill , bo- canso It contains the declaration orig inated by Senator Hill , pledging thu government to the policy of bimetallism. It Is quite certain no bill will pass thosonato without n declaration endorsing the policy of bimetallism , und as no such declaration Is explicitly made In the Wilson bill , the pro gram will bo to pass the senate bill and send It to tbo house for the concurrcnco of the latter body. Of course the effect of this will bo to revho tbo whole question in the house , but ft is not thought any considerable time will bo consumed by the house In passing upon the question a second time , as most of tbo members have already hud full oppor tunity to be heard and will have placed themselves upon record by their votes on tbo several distinct propositions and ratios , Iiulullitiii ; in SpoctilHtion , Already considerable speculation is bolmr Indulged In us to tha next stcn to bo taken in financial legislation after the passage of the bill repealing the Sherman law. 1 ho com mittee on coinage , under the leadership of Chairman Blund , will , it is expected , rnport n free colnngo bill In duo time and Chairman Springer's committee on banking and cur rency is expected to present several relief moasurc.s to the houso. - Congressman MeCreary of Kentucky , ono of the delegates on the part of ( ho United States to the recent international monetary conference nt Brussels , bus prepared the following joint resolution for Introduction in the house novt neck : liesohed , By thoM'nalo and house of reprc- tentative * of the United Hlutu-sof Amurlon , In congress ; asbeiuhled , Hint n coinnilhhlon Is lieroby utithorlrod und constituted , to consist ot ihrt'c hrnalom , lo bnappointed by the presi dent of the senate ; thivu represcntatUes , to l i appointed liy the speaker of the house of > reprohonlullvos , und three export * , to bo so- Ipcted ' " by the president of the United States , authority to determine th time and i of ineoUiiK und lo tulcu evidence In iluiUoii , or In uny otheroity of the United Bliilcs , before Iho whole comnmtuu or buforu subcommittees , und tocixiulrn and iitport : l''lr t On the ehniigo which ban taken place In tb lolatlvo vnlnoof gold und silver , und whether tlm chuiiKo U duo to the depreciation of Hllveror * , o thu appreciation of gold ; cause. of the cliHiuio , whotlier purniunent or temporary ary ; the infect thereof upon llnunce , trade . commerce , uurlmiltnru , llibor and other o.of csls of ihn country und upon thu Mumlard of value In this und other countries. fecund ( Jut ho policy of n.iilntalnlii ) ; the double standard In the United Status und what should ho th le ul ratio between silver and cold when coined. orS Third On thu best moans of > S tlm bunking system and of roMoi Ing conllilence In commercial und llnunclal I'liclcs and promoting meting International liltuutullUm. oill roiirth The roiKJrtof the commission ahull bo presented not later than thu 1st. day of January , 1BU4 , McCroarjr on Illi Jloiolutlan , "This resolution " suld Mr. , HcCreary to night , "gives the commission authority Loto inquire Into the whole financial nucslkm in Its broadest phases not no to bimetallism nlono , but also as to the reorganization of our blinking system.

Your friend , WCLLWISIICII , Turtir Tinkering. The ways and means committee will meet Tuesday , when a course of procedure will probably bo decided on , Including such matters as tbo appropriate date when n tariff bill shall bo reported , whether the committee'will give hearings to interested persons or not , and other details relating to the work with which It la charged. Chair man Wilson is reported to have prepared n , bill covering the subject of tariff revision In a general way which ho will submit to the committee. On the same day the committee on bank ing and currency will meet with tbo expec tation of concluding a report on the bill of Thomas M. Johnson , providing for the exchange - change of national bonds for currency at the demand of the holder. The committee , It Is believed , will favorably report the bill , with an amendment tntenJcd to protect the gold of the treasury from raids by these who re ceive currency for their bonds. It may also take up the question ot repealing the 10 percent on the circulation of state banks. On this Chairman Springer Is quoted as sav ing ! "I don't think the committee will report a bill In favor of a ropcalof the tax. I don't bcllovo in going back to the days of the old state banking system and of being compelled to have forty-four different kinds of currency In this country. The removal of the tax upon state banks and the re-cstab- Hshment of the old system would bo an ob struction to business. I am against it and I do not think such a bill can pass. I favor a state currency , good alike in all 'stales , ac cepted without question everywhere , ono familiar to the people and printed upon such paper that counterfeits can bo readily de tected. Any other currency Is an obstruc tion to business and I shall oppose it. " Ito MUM tie's CHIC. In the senate the week will probably begin with the Mnntlo case in the foreground. There is an intimation that there bus been u change In the views of some senators who voted against Mr. Mantle's claims and some of His friends are confident the decision will bo reversed. Senator Wolcott announced his intention of addressing the scuato Wednesday on tbo subject of silver. The national bank currency bill is to betaken taken up and pushed as fust as possible. It may bo a vote can bo reached on the Cock- rcll amendment relating to the deposit of bonds in the treasury early in the week , but there still remains the "formidable Butler amendment repealing the state bank tax. If this threatens to take an undue time , It is probable the bill will bo sidetracked In order to allow Air. Voorhees to forward discussion and action upon the repeal bill.This result may be hastened If the present plan of the silver men takes slmpo. namely , to try nnd attach to the bank bill an amendment pro viding for thu free coinage of silver , ADMISSION OF NKW .MEXICO. i Joseph Will Jlnke Strenuoui Ef forts to Accomplish that Hnd. WASHINGTON , Adg. 27. Delegate Joseph of New Mexico is preparing to raako an at tempt to secure the admission of New Mexico ice us a state this session , and as both houses of congress are democratic , ho has sanguine bones of success. Ho has prepared a bill , which ho will present during the course of the present week , or at the first opportunity : This bill provides nn enabling act for the people of the territory of Now Mexico , by the terms of which a constitu- tlo.nal convention will be held In the terri tory und the constitution submitted to the people. All persons who have resided within the limits of the proposed state for sixty days , und are other wise qualified by tbo laws of the territory to vote for the ' representatives to ( ho legislative assemblages' thereof , are authorized to vote for delegates to form the convention. An apportionment of delegates to the con vention Is made by the bill in strict accord ance with the population of the territory as shown by the last census. The government Is authorized to order the election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in No vember , 18SM. The number of delegates In the territory is to bo seventy-five. The con stitutional convention will assemble at the capitol on the first Monday of December , 18U4 , nnd when assembled it shall adout the constitution of the United States and pro ceed to the formation of n state constitution. , The bill especially provides that in all the public schools thu ICnglUh language shall bo taught. The constitution shall bo submitted to the people for their ratification or re- jectlcn at an election to bo held in said ter ritory on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In April , 181)3. ) If a majority of the votes cast shall bo for the constitution , the government of the territory shall certify the result to the president of the United States , who shall then Issue his procluma tion announcing tlio result of the election and the state of New Mexico shall then be deemed admitted Into the union. I'ropiirod to Sleet Opposition , Delegate Joseph Is fully prepared to meat the arguments urged against the admission of New Mexico on account of the largo pro portion of Mexican speaking population. Ho says : "Can it bo snid a native of Now Mexico who renounced his allegiance to the republic ? of Mexico over forty years ago has less interest in tlio government of the United States , less devotion to republican princi ples or loss fitness for American citizenship than a subject of an European kingdom who lias within u few years loft tils nutivo home ! "Seventeen years after the territory became - came a part of the United States , Now Mex ice was called upon to furnish soldiers to defend - fend the union. Tliero was no hesitation In responding to the demand. New Moxk-o gave 8,000 soldiers to the union during the late war. being wore than was furnished by all the other oxUtlng territories combined i Including the present states of Nebraska , Nevada , Colo'rado , Washington , the Da- kotus , Montana. Idaho and Wyoming. ln "These troops were in greater part com manded by persons of Spanish descent , and the ranks were filled by the same raeo , but although only seventeen years citizens of the country , the people of the territory did not hesitate to devote themselves to the country as readily ns if born under its flag , Numerous wealthy citizens voluntarily loaned money to the government at the out ; break of the war on the request of military authorities when the country had no funds In the territory. Moro than thirty years have passed sluco then , and yet It is said the people of Now Mexico nro aliens. Her Voting Strength.

I CERTAIN TO PASS THE HOUSE Favorable Action in that Body on the Wilson Bill Now Assured. PROBABLE ACTION BY THE SENATORS Unconditional ttcpc.il Will Not Ha Accepted by riinin Without a Flfflit Tlio Op portunity to T.Uk Will Not lie Overlooked. WASHINGTON BCIIBAU OF THE I3EE,1 , Bin FotniTttnxTii STiiur.r. ; V WASHINGTON , AUg . 27. J It now seems certain that the house will pass the bill unconditionally repealing the silver purchasing law before it adjourns to morrow , and that the senate would pass n llko measure ) if a direct vote could bo secured upon It. There nro few In Washington tonight but who acknowledge defeat It the friends of unconditional repeal in the senate can got a direct vote. It is now known to "a dcail certainty" that If the proposition to vote for or against unconditional repeal , with nothing else in vlew.Vcould uonio before the house It would have a decided majority. There are now fo.ur or flvo senators who have been ( classed all along as free coinage advocates who sav they will support unconditional repeal If all other proposals nro voted down ; that rather than vote against It , when It stands nlone , they will vote for It. They give uncon ditional repeal a safe majority. Senators Teller , Stewart , Vest , Cockrcll , Butler , Morgan and other frco colnago men ac knowledge that their only hope now lies In the rules , which make it posslolo for them to defeat a voto. They mean to talk the bill to death and wo ir out the ropcallsts. us they did the election bill of two years or more ago. A change of the rules so as to bring the silver olll to n vote suoras linpossl bio , as there Is no process of ending a debate , upon a rule which would secure closure , oven upon a single measure. The chances seem about even that a direct vote cannot bo se- cu red upon unconditional repeal in the sen ate , and two to ono that a compromise will be effected whereby another silver law will take the place of tbo present one. Anxious Ahoilt the Turin . There is ono subject which overslaughs all others at the present time in commercial circles. It oven ranks the financial problem before congress. It is the tariff. Manu facturers and business men , as well ns the farmers , are anxious to know what kind of a tariff bill the democratic congress and < democratic administration will finally put into law and when it will go Into effect. There is not a man In congress , bo ho a high protectionist or a frco trader , but that acknowledges frankly und openly the im portance of informing the country as to what kind of a tariff bill is to bo adopted and when it will take effect. It is not so much the specific items winch are to bo affected by the now tariff bill as ills the time when those who are to bo affected must adjust themselves to the now conditions. Tin : UIE correspondent spent the greater part of the past week making Inquiry of the leading partisans in congress and trying to get the position of the administration upon the tariff. The first and most Important fact ascer tained in this research for information is that tho'tarilT bill which will become alav / - some time next year will be very moderate in character. Chairman Voorhces of the senate committee on finance , Messrs. Gor man , McPhcrson nnd other democratic lead ers of the upper branch of congress , ns well us Chairman Wilson of the committee on ways and means , Mr. Springer , its late chairman , Mr. McMillin , Mr. Bynum and other leaders in the majority of the lower brunch of congress , all say Unit , owing to the construction of the democratic party in congress nnd the solid republican phalanx opposed to radical tariff reform , it will bo a physical impossibility to pass any bill which makes a serious cut Into manu factured articles ; that tbo'measure must conlino itself almost wholly to enlarging the free list. Will Ho Tut oil tlio Frow LUt. The principal items which now pay duty and are to go upon the frco list nro wool , iron ore , coal , wood and salt. Thor'o may bo some reductions of duty upon the cheaper crrtidcs of woolen and hcmp.and linen fabrics. There will be a good many articles taken from the dutiable and tiansferred to tha free list In the chemical schedule. So far as implements and tools of all kinds , manufac tured steel and iron of the hotter grades , wares from metals and glass are concerned , the manufacturers and dealers in these articles can rest assured nothing will bo done to materially affect their business , unless it is to give them free raw materials to work upon. One of the republican members of the sen ate committee on finance , who had much to do with the preparation of the MuICinlcy bill , assures your correspondent , after a full 1 conference with the republican senators and these leaders upon the democratic side who will control the revision of the tariff bill 1 when It comes from the house , that , while they would If they could , the democrats can not possibly pass any tariil bill which will * depress the manufacturing interests of this country. Ho says that if ho wcro manufac ' turing any of the leading articles ho would not , knowing what ho docs , hesitate n moment to push his business right ahead on its present lines , as It cannot be Injured by the tariff law. Another now prominent ro- puultcan member of the sonata committee on , finance says that hols answering all lottersof Inquiry from manufacturers by saying there ncc'cl bo no alarming niqx'ehunsion as to tlio outcome of democratic work at tariff re vision , as vicious , malicious or . general 1 destructive legislation cannot got through 1s 1i thOEcnato. Ho says that If the democrats had a majority of ten or twelve in the senate i- ate , instead of only four or live as new , they ii would pass a bill framed on free trade lines i , providing for just enough revenue to moot government expenses , and if thay could itit advance adopt tin income tax wo would have almost absolute free trade ; but every repub lican In the senate will stand solidly against democratic tariff revision , und under the present rules of the senate thti largo body of republicans can out-talk and filibuster , Ifo death almost any feature of a bill. Control the Situation , Besides this there are four or flvo senators on the democratic eldo Tvhosc political fu ture would bo ruined If they old not secure protection for certain industries in their states , These Elates nra overwhelmingly democratic , and tlio products wliloh the democrats are determined to protect uro produced in no republican state , so that the ilenfoeratlo senators directly interested are of necessity forced to go to tbo republican side and treat for peace and co-operation. This condition of circumstances places the republican minority in the scimto in prac- tful control of the situation. It is not to bo supposed that they will rocado In any direc tion 10 as to give the democrats opportunity to carry out their pledges inado in party platforms. It Is generally conceded that the now tariff law will not uro into effect before July , 1805 , or October of that year. There are many prominent democrats who advocate a date , when the naw tariff law shall take effect , not earlier teen January 1,1SOO. W it ru I'cuiloni.

The Times this morn- ing , in the course of a long leader on the dismal I agricultural prospects of Great Britain , says foreign competition depresses the prices of cattle and corn. The import i of animals and meats , it says , will swamp the markets this year. Great Britain will bo more than over dependent on foreign Jt J supplies and will require at least 28- 000,000 quarters of wheat from abroad. France , it adds , must timuort more than twice as much as slio usually docs. As to Germany , that country has already began to draw I on America for supplies.

The Manhattan Beach train had been standing In the block to allow an other train ahead getting at a safe distance. The Ilockaway Beach train came dashing along behind , ran Into the same block and crashed Into the roar end of the Manhattan Beach train , Both wore crowded with ex cursionists. There wore live cars In the Manhattan Beach train , all of them open cars. The Ilockaway tr.iln plunged and ploughed its way completely through the two roar cars and partly wrecked the third.

Huberman's tile factory , which stands close to the tracks at the sccno of the acci dent , was converted Into a temporary hospi tal and some of the dead and injured wcro carried In there.
