.Hmo 21 ! , when Memlencz was overthrown and
died. The provisional government under the
presidency of Rzetn from that date wns care
fully scrutlnl/od , nnd accepted without a dis

the next order of business and on the
first ballot General Carlos KzeUi

Ho promised to wo his endeavors la extend

He Holsters Up Ills Imputation by a
Wonderful Font.
LONDON , Sept. 12. [ Special Cablegram to
TIIK Br.i : . ] Davis Dalton made a plucky nnd
successful effort to bolster up his tottering
reputation as a. great swimmer. In answer
to n eh all en go he set out shortly after noon
to swim down the Thames from Blackwnll to
Gmvcscnd , a distance of twenty miles. At
11 o'clock Uulton arrived at London bridge ,
where the steamer was waiting. His twecil
suit and sailor cap wcro in harmony with his
temper , which was crusty , and this with
some reason , for the challenger , who had bet
50 against the professor's accomplish
ing tlio feat , bad at the last moment
fulled to turn up , nnd the vision of bank
notes hud melted. However , u score of jour
nalists nnd friends were assembled and Dal
ton wisely declined not to disappoint them ,
so the steamer having puffed down to Black-
wall , tbo professor , pulling out a pair of
elaborate blue swimming tights , dived. ' It
wns then he started und us ho sot his sturdy
legs In motion every ono realized ho had a
lough Job before him not ihnt , tbo distance
was particularly great , being in fact one-
third what ho claimed to have covered in bis
recent channel swim but the great question
was whether the professor could roach Grave-
send within the necessary six hours , for
after thnt the lido would turn
and make further progress impossible. The
doubters shook their hauls with conviction
nnd declared at that rate ho never , could do
It all the 8iinio ho did doit , to the Immense
satisfaction of his anxious little wlfo , who
was the only lady aboard , and who hardly
took her oycs off her husband as ho kicked
his lltllo body to glory. During the first
part of the trial , however , Mrs. B.iltou was
almost alone in her confidence in her hus
band's promises.
"It's a hundred to onn he don't succeed , "
exclaimed n. veteran sport. "Ho may have
great endurance , but ho lacks speed. LooU
at him now , see how he hangs to recover
his body und comes almost to n standstill
every stroke. No , sir , I'll ' bet you what you
lllto bo fails.1 '
"But the feat hns been accomplished by
others , has It not I"
"Oh , yes , but they were rapid swimmers ,
and many of them Cavlll , for olnstnnco
came to grief. Kaston did it In tlvo and one-
bait hours , but thnt was by sivimmlng with a
side slroko. So far , no ono has accomplished
Iho distance on his back , ns Dalton is now
doing. Mark my words , he will fall. "
This posslmlstlo prophecy , however , was
not destined to bo realized. The professor
stuck steadily to his business , nnd with nrms
crossed behind and head tipped back
until only Ids nose protruded , he ploughed
ahead. Ills training on the up curve during
the past fortnight under tbo skillful counsel
of Dave Pamplon , the ox-champion , soemej
to have brought fruit , ns ho was certainly
going faster thnn many thought ho could go ,
Just bafora reaching Erlth , Dalian's ruto of
progress declined considerably and It ap
peared as If his Immersion was telling on
lilm , However , niter taking some more rests ,
he appeared to Improve , nnd having rested
for some minutes In the water , passed the
Worcester training ship in three hours and
thirty-flvo minutes from Iho commencement.
A slight diversion was caused nt Woolwich by
the appearance of a man tunned O'Brien , who
jumped In along side of Dalton and kept on in
capital form , reaching Gravoscnd a llttlo lu
advance of the professor. No Incident of any
moment occurred afterwards , Iho swimmer
keeping steadily on. save two Intervals , when
he had some refreshments and rested. Lo-
mouth training was reached in four hours
and forty-eight ralnutes. Dalton seemed con
siderably encouraged by the cheers of the
boys who , besides manning the yards , put oft
in boats nnd accompanied him a considerable
distance ou the way. The last hnlf inllo in
the water was eertulnly trying to Iho swim
mer , as the wind was springing up ,
which robbed him of the advantage of the
tide. Keeping quietly on , however ,
the reached the town pier at Gravesend soon
after 7 o'clock. . His full tlmu was six hours
and sixteen minutes. Whan taken out of the
water he did not Appear very greatly ex
hausted , although lib long immersion hail of
eours-o weakened him. Ho was driven to
Clarendon hotel , where ho was at once put
Into a hot bath and scon by a doctor , who pro
nounced his condition satisfactory.

for 4 per cents. This is not a fact ,
as the treasury Is ready to take consider
able umounls of 4 per cents if they nro to bo

the secretary of the treasury developed the
fact lhat the total balance of duties duo on

There is a report on the streets today that

Monday evening by the action of the direct

demnatory of a double site is being much dis

Congressmen Fnrquhnr ot Buffalo and
Burton of Cleveland say they hnvo direct us-
sunmcos from Iho president that ho will sign
the i-lver nnd hnrhor bill , thus putting at rest
the uneasiness of those Interested in the bill
that it might meet presidential disfavor.
Mr. I'nrquhur says that It was the presi
dent's ultimatum that the bill should not go
beyond $2oKX,000 ( ) , for If It did It would not
bo signed. With this in view the bill was
trimmed down until it was Just inside the
$25,000,000 , limit. Mr. Burton says his ns-
surnnces from the president have conio since
the bill was passed.
nr.MociiATs AXII Tin : TAIIIIT 1111.1.
At the meeting of the ways and means com-
inittco today the democrats declined to miiko
u declaration or Intimation oven of their pur
poses concerning the tariff. 11 is known ,
however , that they are still willing to let iho
bill go through pro forma for their part if tlio
republicans will forego the contested election
eases , but , ns has been stated , this will not
hn considered. After the committee ad
journed Major Meltlnloy said lie believeu the
hill would ho roiiortcd back to the liouso by
Monday , together with a ruio ll.xmg
a reasonable time for debate , and tnen
send it to conference. The accept
ance of this rule will dcpcna on
the return of a republican majority to their
seata in the house. Major McKlnloy suld the
house , lu his opinion , would insist upon its
provisions in the sugar schedule that all
under No. Hi should bo admitted free ot duty
und sugar between 1(1 ( nnd 20 should piy duty
of four-tenths of a cent a pound ; otherwise ,
in the language of n well known Ohio ueino-
crat. free sugar except for tlio refineries of
the trust would bo "a d d barren ideality. "
The northwestern members nro expected to
make a light for free binding twine , whjch
the senate has voted for , nnd the representa
tives of the "tin bucket brigade" will work-
to restore tin plate to the free list. Altogether
the indications uro favorable for a pretty
struggle In Iho house and later In the confer
ence. The tlmo of the taking olTeet of the
bill will probably bp extended to November 1
because , as a member of the house expressed
it , "tho bill certainly won't ' bo ret roll-active. "
Guesses on the date of adjournment range
from October 1 to October 10.
v , . HOUSE COSVIIIIKKS OX TUB TA1IIF1' .
The house conferees on the tariff bill have
already been determined upon. They will bo
Messrs. McKinley , Burrows , Dingloy and
Bnyne. Mr. Bayne , when first notllied that
he would ho appointed , promptly declined the
honor in fhvor of Mr. McICcnna of California ,
but the Pennsylvania delegation , hearing of
his notion , urged him so strongly to recon
sider nnd accept the profferrcd honor thnt ho
has done so. nnd the understanding now is
thnt ho will be a member of the committee.
This is a griovlous disappointment to Mr.
McKonnu , who had been very anx
ious to go on the committee , for , ns now
constituted , the Paclllo slope has no repre
sentative In tbo conference- committee , either
on the part of the senate or house , democratic
or republican. Governor Gear of Iowa is as
equally disappointed. His radical views on
sugar are well known , and bis opposition to
reciprocity wns avowed und determined , and
It is the general belief , amounting almost to
positive knowledge , that It wns his opposition
to reciprocity which kept him off the commit
tee. The house committee as constituted , it
will bo seen , Is a reciprocity committee and
wns appointed with thai object in view.
AX liFFEOTIVi : CI.UJ1.
It Is reported tonight that Speaker need
has notified two of the democratic leaders
thnt ho will not sign Iho enrolled river nnd
harbor bill , which is on the table awaiting
his signature , until n quorum Is present for
tlio purpose of doing business. The demo
crats nro inlcrcstcd equally with the repub
licans in the success of this measure , es
pecially the southern democrats , who uro the
main spirits in the present filibustering
movement. This is nn effective club in the
hands of the speaker ,
IIOt'SK IIEI'UIII.H'ANS IN A DILEMMA ,
The dilemma in which the republicans of
the house are placed by the absence of a num
ber of their members still exists and it can
not bo told when they will cscnpo from It.
At present n quorum of the house consists of
KM members , nnd the rcpuoilcans have but
171 , leaving them only six to spare and still
bo enabled to do business. This narrow mar
gin Is touched upon to a dangerous extent by
Illness , threeor four being lonflncd to their
rooms. There nro several republicans at least
who , under the tnllucnco of Mnhono's efforts ,
will not vote to seat Langston , the col
ored man , and they naturally do not
enter enthusiastically into the plans of Iho
malingers lo secure a quorum for the purpose
of putting Langston into Venablo's sent.
The feeling of this class of republicans Is
shown In Iho remark of ono of Ihoin , who in
response to a protest against his leaving the
city , said : "ijot him look utter his seat him
self. I've ' got my own to nttend to. " An
effort was made to save today from the fili
bustering wreck and devote it to the consid
eration of private bills , which , under the
rules of. the house , are In order on Fridays ,
but it failed. Members of tlio com
mittee on elections declined to
let the Liingston-Vennblo case lo go
over even with Iho understanding that it
should coma up when a quorum of republicans
was obtained. Ono of t'lem said : "Tho elec
tion committee has not b-jcu well treated by
Iho liouso. It has an nncqualed record of
work accomplished , but it has been unable to
cot It considered , und wo will stnnd on our
own rights. Uesldes , it wo consented to such
an arrangement it would give absent repub
licans the very excuse they want to remain
away , viz : That business proceeds without
ttiolr presence. It won't do for the republi
cans , after having nassed iho election bill
and unseated n do/on or fifteen demo-
crnts to make places for white republicans
to balk now that a negro's right to n sent is
involved. " There was dubiousness , too , on
the pait of the democrats ns to their power to
suppress Knloo and Kopcrs , the chronic ob
jectors to consideration of private bills , oven
had im agreement to take up that calendar
been made by the lenders , .so after the mani
festation of the fact that the democrats would
not aid In making a quorum to go on with the
contested election case the house nJJourned
for iho day.
A bill has passed Iho house and been favor
ably ropoitcd by the senate committee on
