Washinoeox, Aug-. 9.—The feeling ia very Intense on the financial ques tion. This was shown in two vigorous expressions made yesterday by men who represent two of the leading ele ments in the fight One of them was senator Washburn of Minnesota, who sgoke from the republican standpoint “It will be a crime if congress does not act and act at once. It is a ques tion of weeks, and almost days, and with the feverish condition of the country a delay of months will not be tolerated. If the proper steps are taken the house can be forced to pass a repeal bill within the next week,and the senate will do the same thing within the next three weeks But this can be done only by a display of back bone and foroe. Yes, we must have plenty of fores My plan is to come to the senate and stay here day after day and night after night until the repeal is accom plished. If there are men here who want to respond to the demands of the country they must make up their minds that they must go without sleep night after night They must camp out in the senate chamber. They must form squads and reliefs, and they must stay at their post of duty in the senate until this selfish, per sonal interest which seeks to secure delay is absolutely strangled. That is the only way of actually doing what the country demands shall be done.” This is the heroic remedy Senator' Washburn will submit to the republi can caucus If it is adopted, and there are many who recognize that it is the only speedy solution to the contest, it means a fight to the death at the very outset in the senate. Senator Stewart was asked if there was any possibility of a compromise on the basis of a new ratio. Ue said that there was not the slightest chance of a compromise, and then he added what is of much significance at this time: “What is the use of talking com promise when the friends of free silver have an actual majority in the United States senate? I know what I say when I claim that there is a majority opposedtounconditionalrepeal. There has been talk of a canvass showifag thirty-five for repeal, thirty-five against and eighteen doubtful. But that is far from exact. I tell you posi tively that 1 have a canvass, which shows a clear majority opposed to un conditional repeal.” This is the first time that the sena tor has claimed that the silver men had a majority which could defeat re peal. Ouly ten days ago he was quoted by a New York paper conced ing the passage of the repeal. lie said, however, that he attached con ditions to the views then stated and that since then his canvass has assured him that the silver forces of tho senate could not be defeated. wn&t congressmen ana senators Think of the President’s Message. Washington, Kng. 9.—The message of the president was received by con gress with a degree of attention and earnestness that has seldom been ac corded to that state paper. A notable fact was the general absence of adverse criticism ■■ from a party point of view, and, among those who have reserved their judgment, the democrats were quite as numerous as the republicans. ?or instance, Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, declined pos itively.and refused to be interviewed on the message, and Mr. Hall of New York did the same. Mr. Gorman said: “The message is a clear statement of the president’s views. It is as terse and clear a statement as could have been made. Senator Cockrell, chairman of the ap propriation committee, said: “I am not sure that I understand fully the purpose of the message and until I have read it carefully 1 cannot express an opinion.” Senator Allison, one of the leading financial lights of this country, was very conservative in his expressions of opinion. He remarked: “It is a very fair message.” He thought that the tariff references of the president were calculated to disturb business further at a very critical time. Senator Jones of Nevada: “I think the message is utterly illogical and does not analyze the situation at all. The Sherman law has nothing to do with the present condition of affairs. The line»are drawn for the battle and I see no reason for the friends of re peal to think they can carry their meas ure through.” Senators Quay, .Hawley, Lodge and McPherson were well pleased with the recommendations regarding finances. Senator Teller: “The simple asser tion of the president that the present financial condition is due to the Sher man law does not make it so. His pre mise is wrong and his conclusions nec essarily fall to the ground.” Senator Peffer: “The banker will regard it as perfection; the farmer and workman will see in it further reduc tion of prices of the product of their labor. It is the first attack of the mon ey kings in their financial struggle for supremacy.” Uourke Cockran of I^ew York, who is expected to lead the anti-silver forces on the floor of the house, said: “Ad mirable; most admirable. Even the silver men must admit that this is the most perfect presentation of the ques tion tnat could be made.” Bepresentative Bland of Missouri, the Moses of the free coinage men, said: “As nearly as I could make out it was a pica for a ' single gold standard, be cause England maintains it. If Eng land would coin silver probably this country would do so. We seem to have lost the spirit of 1776.” Bepresentatives Bynum and Harter commended the message in the highest terms, as did Messrs. Springer and Hol man. Bepresentative Simpson (populist) of Kansas said: “It is the weakest mes sage ever presented to the country. Weak as dishwater does not express it.” Bepresentative McMillen of Tennes see heartily approved the message. Bepresentative Bell (populist-demo crat) of Colorado said: “It is an un mistakable gold standard paper. It is in direct conflict with the platform and doctrines of the party for the past twenty years. It is the argument made by Sherman and the money power. It makes the silver forces more determin ed. It did not seem to impress even the silver democrats. I believe it will help the silver cause.” Mr. Dockery said: “It easily takes rank with the ablest of state papers. His characterization of the Sherman law will pass unchallenged, but I re* gTet that the message fails to reaffirm the doctrine of the last democratic platform and Mr. Cleveland's own let ter of acceptance in favor of a double standard. The Sherman law should be repealed by an act authorizing the free coinage of both gold and silver upon the lines indicated by the last national democratic platform. I am opposed to a sjngle gold standard. Senator Wolcott took issue with the president on the subject matter of his message and said he did not believe the Sherman law had anything to do with the panic, as the president sets forth, nor did he believe the president would have power enough to force the repeal bill through the senate. SENATOR BILL’S SILVER BILL, The New York Senator Goes on Record ae Favoring Bimetallism. Washington, Aug. 0.—The Indica tions are that there will be a race be tween the two houses of congress to determine which shall be foremost in giving consideration to the financial question. The senate made the first step yesterday by passing to the in troduction of bills, and several meas ures were presented by the opposing* elements looking to the repeal of the Sherman act or to the free coinage of free silver. The most significant bill, perhaps, was the one introduced by Senator Hill (N. Y.). The position of the senator from the Empire state on the financial issue has been often called in question, but the measure he presented yesterday leaves no doubt of his position, as, while repealing the purchasing clauses of the Sherman act of 1800, it unqualifiedly pledges the country to bimetallism. Senator Hill’s bill is as follows: “A bill to repeal certain sections of the act of July 14, 1890, entitled! 'An act directing the purchasing of silver bullion and the issue of treasury notes thereon and lor other purposes.' “He it enacted, etc., that sections 1, 3 and 4 of the act of July 14, 1890, en titled ‘An act directing the purchase of silver bullion and the issue of treas ury notes thereon and for other pur posed. are hereby repealed. “Sec. 2. This repealing act, how ever, is not to be construed as an abandonment of bimetallism, but it is hereby declared that the policy of using both gold and silver as* the standard money of the country shall be established and to the accomplish ment of that end the efforts of the government shall be steady and safely directed.” Senator Vest introduced a bill to fix the number of grains of gold and sil ver in the gold and silver coins of the United States, the silver dollar to con tain 404 4-10 grains of pure silver or 510 grains sf standard silver. Mr. -— ——— “ v 1VUU1UWUU setting1 forth that the American peo ple, from tradition and interest, favor bimetalism; that it is the established policy of the United States to main tain the parity between gold and sil ver; and that it is the duty of con gress to speedily enact each laws as will effectuate and maintain these ob jects. OEN. HARRISON’S COUSIN Now Being; Taken Care of at the Count; Poor Farm at Denver. Denver, Aug. 11.—Some weeks ago a fine-looking man, nearly 80 years of age; with snow-white hair and beard, applied to the county commis sioners for aid and was sent to the county poor farm, where he still remains. He gave his name as William Harrison, and said he was a first cousjp of the ex-President. The officials smiled at the pauper’s story, but Secretary Thomson of the ttumane society, decided to investi gave it He has now received letters confirming the old gentleman’s state ment in every particular. George 8. Cunningham of Lancaster, Ohio, form erly Mr. Harrison’s attorney, gives the facts, and a daughter, Mrs. Be becca H illiamson of the same place, has been written to. Mr. Harrison charges his daughter and his formei attorney with base ingratitude, but says “Benjamin,’’ his cousin, does not know of his sad straits. The old man's resemblance to his distinguished relative is striking. Plans of the Republicans. Washington, Aug. 9.—The republi can senators held a caucus yesterday afternoon in the office of Senator Sher man and discussed the situation from various points of view. The senators from the west mingled freely with the gold men from the cast and talked over financial affairs in *n unimnassioned manner. There was one thing upon which senators agreed, and that was that the Sherman law was not alone responsible for the lack of confidence existing in the minds of the people. One senator made a speech in which he took the ground that the fear of inter ference by the democrats with the tar iff had done more than anything else to sow the seeds of distrust throughout the land, a sentiment verified by others present. No fixed policy was deter mined upon. It was agreed that the democrats must assume the responsi bility for all that was done, but at the same time the republicans would be guided by a patriotic impulse and do what they thought was proper to help the country in remedying evils that were believed to exist. It is believed another caucus will be held at no dis tant day. Discussed Their Plans. Washington. Aug. 9.—Immediately after the reading of the president's message in the house, the advocates of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law assembled in the halls of the committee on judiciary for a fur i ther discussion of the terms of the ! proposition to be made to the friends of the free coinage of silver. It was stated that the gentlemen representing the free silver side of the controversy desired, before proceeding further with negotiations, to present the matter to the whole body of silver men and learn whether or not they would support an agreement to discuss the question and come to a vote at a certain date. Tbc Lwuh't Trial Trip. Grbknook, Aug. IS —The steamship Lucania, sister snip of the Campania, has left this port on her trial cruise, which will be made around Ireland. She will sail from Liverpool for New York on Sept S. , i.'l ». V’ ■+ ' 1 • ’ ^ ■ , ’ :.V' -. Cot to Work In Short Order. Washington, Aug. 14.—Congress has settled down to debate with a degree of expedition almost unknown in i'ts his* tory and with an apparent determine* tion to do something that promises well for the outcome. Fortunately for the majority In the senate the action of the house on the silver question relieved them from the necessity of speedy and perhaps ill-advised action. The demo cratic caucus committee, charged with the preparation of a plan that should secure the adherence of the united ma jority, will therefore commence Its la bors with more deliberation than would otherwise have been possible, and it is not expected now that it will perfect its work, which involves consultation with many senators ateach stage, much before the house had acted. The finance committee will probably wait upon the action of the caucus com mittee and so the silver question is not likely to figure in a formal way in the proceedings of tho senate this week. It Is entirely possible and even probable that speeches will bo delivered upon the subject, but if so they will be based upon some such resolution as that in troduced by Senator Lodge, calling for a vote upon the repeal of the silver pur chase section of the Sherman act, and not upon a bill regularly reported from the finance committee and ready for immediate action. There Is a strong disposition in some quarters to fill the time during the week by the disousston of the Lee-Mantle senatorial election case, which is in a privileged position and tan be called at any time to the displacement of other business. The program in the house has been definitely fixed by the adoption of the order introduced Friday by Represent ative Bland. The time will be devoted exclusively to the consideration of the silver question under the rules of the last house governing general debate. Notwithstanding the apparent lack of interest in the discussion manifested by the members Saturday, the number of applicants for recognition already on the speaker’s list demonstrates that the period allotted to the debate, eleven days under the general rules and three days under the five-minute rule, will bo all occupied. There are now be tween ninety and 10J names enrolled by the speaker, the great majority of whom probably expect to talk the full hour allowed by the rule. There are a number, however, who have stipulated for shorter poriods. generally twenty miiuites or half an hour. If it appears that the timo for debate will be too short to accommodate all who wish to speak, night sessions will be held to lengthen the period, but this expedient, it is believed, will not be come necessary before next week, with the expiration of which the debate will close. Washington, Aug. 14.—Since the house entered upon the discussion of the silver question Friday, under an order which will not exhaust itself un til the close of next week, the proba bility that the organization of the house, by. the adoption of the rules and the appointment of committees, will not be completed for two or thrge weeks, has changed into almost a certainty. As yet no call for a meeting of the com mittee on rules has been issued, al though one may be tomorrow or Tues day. One of the members of the majority of the committee, when asked*about the prospects for action on the rules, said that until the present order of the house had expired there was no need of ruleB. It was not possible to break in upon the silver debate with one over the adoption of the rules, even were the new code ready to be reported. • So, in his opinion, the committee will not be in a hurry to prepare its report. The member further remarked that the probabilities were that the rules of the house in the Fifty-second congress, which had been referred to the com mittee for consideration, would not be materially changed; in fact, he expected but few changes of any nature from the system under which the last house was directed. Secretary Carlisle spent an hour or two with Speaker Crisp in his room at tne capitoi last 1 hursday, and they probably touched on the subject of rules in the course of their conversa tion. Nothing’ could be more natural than that Mr. Crisp should solicit an opinion from his predecessor in the speaker's chair, especially from, one who won such a high reputation as a presiding officer as did Mr. Carlisle in that position, and any suggestions the secretary saw fit to make would doubt le ss be most carefully considered by the committee. There is but one“rule about which any general interest attaches—the one governing cloture. The best obtaina ble opinion is that there will be no rad ical change from the rule in force dur ing the last congress, which gave the house power to end debate, or prevent filibustering upcta any proposition,even when the majority so desired. Fired at by a Socialist. Pams, Aug. 14.—M. Lockroy, a for mer cabinet minister, was fired at yes terday by a man named Moore, a noto rious socialist. Lockroy was ascending a staircase in a house where thfe elec toral committee was sitting. Moore stopped him and demanded a loan of 10 francs. Lockroy refused to give him the money, whereupon the man fired at his breast with a revolver.: Lockroy fainted. His breast had been severely bruised, but not pierced by the balL The wounded man was taken to his home. Moore was arrested. He had lain in wait for his victim for over two hours. Lockroy had refused to iden tify himself with the cabmen's strike and Moore shot him in revenge. Fellow Fever la the Sooth. Washington, Aug. 14.—Surgeon Gen eral Wyman of the Marine hospital service received no information today from Brunswick, Oa., regarding the yellow fever outbreak. Dr. Carter has been at Pensacola. Fla., will leave there tonght for Brunswick to direct the medical campaign. Before leaving Pensacola Dr. Carter telegraphed to Dr. Wyman, confirming the verdict of the local medical authorities in the Waite cass that the victim did not die of yellow fever.

MODBRATB APPLICATION OP AVAILABLB PLANT POOD. fnil the Crop at Intervals—A flood Month • flood Horse—Swmm for Mom —Perm Harness — Agricultural Motet ami Uoutehold Helps. Pood lag Plant*. The manner of feeding plants has much to do with their profitable growth. It has a certain analogy with the feeding of animals, for in both the growth depends on the way the food Is supplied. No one presents to any animal all the food for three months* sustenance at one time, but the food is given as it can bo digest ed profitably, and in such quantity that none is wasted.. But for the crops, the food is supplied In bulk at the beginning of the season for the whole time, and .at first there is a superabundance, and then a scarc ity. The growth of the crop is often excited unduly at first, and a weak plant is produced, that is of weak vi tality, although it may appear to bo luxuriant. Then when the most Important period of its growth arrives and a greater draught on tho plant is made for the maturing of the seed, the supply is short, and a groat quantity of stalk or leaf may be pro duced, but little grain. To apply this to the corn crop, we may per ceive that the usual method is to manure tho soil as froely as may bo possible before the planting. The first growth of stalk and loaf is too rank, and as the food in the soil is used up the plant needs more than is left for the most exacting stage of existence, viz., the ilpworlng and ma turing of tho Beed. Thus wo so of ten find the majority of tho ears are only partly filled, tor the reason that the plant has not the materials to fill out the ear with. This fact is important Tho crop is shortened at least twenty-five per cent on this account, and if thore is any way to prevent this loss it is well worth finding and making uso of it It has been found by long ex perimenting that tho method of sup plying food for tho crop at intervals, so as to provide for tho most needful periods of its growth, wholly removes this difficulty and that full ears are Invariably produced. Thus it Is desirable that a moderate applica tion of immediately available plant £5 V. r\tl 1 ,1 nl t.nn ni _ — the plant arrives at tho exacting periods, these being when the repro ductive organs are appearing and maturing. The last supply i» given when the silks are seen, which is the time when the grain is about to be formed, and this is tno time when all the resources of the plant are called into action. This food then boing at once available and being at once appropriated insures wel}-flllod ears and large and sound grain. Tho full filling of every ear will easily add one-fourth to the ordinary yield of corn. It is a well-known axiom of trade and commerce that a reduction of price always stimulates consumption of any product, says tho New York Times. This necossarily applies' to farm products as well as others. If any product can be increased with out a proportionate increase of cost, and the consumption of it is in creased, there is more profit to the producer in the sale of the increased quantity at the lower price. Cotton growers have complained that their product costs ten cents a pound to make. This cost is based on an average product of 160 pounds to the acre. But if the product is increased to 500 pounds or more to the acre, the cost of it will not be more than one-half that of 150 j/isuuuo. iuoio uitvy luuu uo a cuii side ruble margin for increase of pro duct to supply .the stimulated de mand through the lessened price, and this increased demand will pro portionately add to the value, which will not then be reduced in full pro portion to the increased product. This same principle applies to all farm products, and even food is con sumed in larger quantities when low prices prevail. Thus it is easily seen that an effective remedy for low prices is to increase the supply, and thus make more money from the same area of land, with an equiva lent increase of profit A Good Mouth a Good Horia A horse to be a good driving one. must have a good mouth, says an ex change. This causes the bit to be one of the most important parts of the harness, as it touches tho most sensitive parts of the horse. The bit used, and the way it is used, causes the horse to have a good or bad mouth. A horse that cannot bear much weight on the mouth is called tender mouthed. Such ones are often made to have a good mouth by using a pleasant bit, and being driven by a careful, experienced driver, Some horses are rank pullers, made so by abuse, but when they have a kind, experienced driver they soon have confidence and give it up. j Many a high mettled and spirited i horse is often largely restrained by ' the reason and voice of the driver, ! which if driven by some would be ! called unsafe, and they would be for certain ones to drive. A i kind, but nervy, high spirited horse j will sometimes go off on the bit so \ that it will take all the strength of i its driver at fi rst to control, and if the lines are not drawn up quick their heels go up and they will go off on a run. A horse in a race will often give a great burst of speed. They want then a good mouth and a strong, steady pull to keep them from breaking. One time when Ethan Allen was driven-on exhibl-j tion by Holcomb, he had so much <*V'\V AT/* . ; i*. ‘i>>F ■(smttTJi oonfldenoe in Ethan that ha seemed • -'A to think lie need not pay any atten* ^ tlon to tho lines, and let them loose, He started him at a fifty ollp and Ethan broke, which he would not - ? havo done if there had been a few pounds pulled on the mouth.
