Under the circumstances it is impossible for him So present an itemized bill such as Mr. Green calls for.

There is, indeed, a suspicion that Mr. Green is actuated more by a desire to get even" with the Sheriff because the latter would not shape his political course to suit certain parties than by a desire to economize for the county. There is every reason to believe that the jail prisoners can be dieted more economically for the county under the contract plan than under the itemized dieting plan. The total appropriation for dieting is $26.000. This is sufficient under the contract plan.

Under the "itemized plan it is estimated that it would cost $40,000. The contract plan is that which is followed in every county of the State. It is authorized by law, Mr. Green to the contrary notwithstanding. Drainage Board Engineering Committee.

The Engineering committee of the Drain- age lioarl after consultation with Engineer Williams and Attorney Carter yesterday decidedto recommend to the board at its next meeting an order for passage directing the Chief Engineer to submit estimates for a tailrace from Lockport to Joliet for the purpose of making complete the estimates for route No. 2 upon which bids will be opened June An order was drawn up and substituted for the order and specifications which were submitted for the consideration of the committee at Wednesday's meeting of the board. It does not, differ materially from the original order.

The debate on the bill was opened by Mr. Stewart, who was followed by Mr. Teller. The tatter contradicted most positively a statement quoted by 11r.

The best-paying church I know of is probably a little country chureh in Washingtort County, said A. L. Rutledge of Pittsburg at the Grand Pacific. It's a Presbyterian church. and it is near McDonald.

Two years ago McDonald was a milk station. Passing by there oa a train all one could see were a few hundred milk cans on the station form and the little church on the hillside, with its little parsonage alongside. Well, oil and coal and natural gas were discovered around McDonald, and today there is an ideal oil town there, with miners' camps scattered about. Productive? Why, oil wells were struck that flowed 25,000 barrels a day. There was no tankage big enough to hold the supply and the oil was allowed to run down the hillside and into the streams.

Outsiders banked up the creeks and scooped enough oil out of the dams they made to net them MO a day, carrying the oil away by the Natural gaswhy, the pressure was so strong that the greatest difficulty was experienced in boring the oil wells. The gas formed a cushion that it was absolutely impossible, in some cases, to drive the augers through. "Derricks were put up all about the little church. The pastor did not enjoy any increase of salary and the church income did not grow until some of the enterprising elders conceived a bgilliant idea and carried it out. They bored for oil on the church lot, and they struck itstruck it rich.

At first the oil pcured out at the rate of 1,000 barrels a day. The society grew rich, of course, and the income is still flowing in smooth as oil, and the little church on the hillside is one of the wealthiest religious organizations in the State." "Did the members stop takmg up collections and go to declarmg dividends?"

It has been intimated by certain Woodlawn Park property-owners that the Illinois Central taack-elevation ordinance would be reconsidered at the next meeting of the Council for the purpose of amending it so as to provide for but one openingthat at Sixty-fifth street, between Sixty-third and Sixty-seventh streets. This would do away with the openings at Sixty-fourth and Sixty-sixth streets, as Aid. Kerr's amendment proposed last Monday. "If the ordinance is reconsidered," said Aid. Gahan yesterday, "it may not be passed again.

I did the best I could to secure the adoption of the Kerr amendment. The Council would not listen to me. The World's Fair Directors and the railroad officials must have seen that. If the Council gets at that ordi- nance again it will be made more expensive to the railroad company than it is now. I know some Aldermen who voted for it last Monday who will not vote for it again it it is reconsidered, or not until other expensive amendments are added." Aid.

Madden, who also fought hard to make the ordinance as acceptable as possible, agrees with Aid. Graham. The ordinance will not be made more favorable for the railroad company. Several of the Aldermen who were induced to vote for the ordinance Monday on the recommendation of Madden and Gahen now say that if it is sent back they will wake it more expensive the railroad company. It is intimated that the movement for reconsideration is being worked up by certain real-estate speculators at Woodlawn.

"Those persons." said a Woodlawn property-owner yesterday, "at a public meeting back in April got themselves appointed as a committee to represent the property-owners. They got the Council committee to agree to open Sixty-third, Sixty-fourth, Sixty-fifth, and Sixty-sixth streets according to the sense and decision of the meeting. Subsequently they bargained with the Illinois Central folks to open only Sixty-fifth street because they own nearly all the property on Sixty-fifth street and expect to make $50.000 to $100,000 on the enhancement of real estate values and as much more from a hotel by forcing everything toward Sixty-fifth street. This diversion or change from the wishes of the property-owners was received with indignation by the bulk of the owners, and a large petition remonstrating against such action-was presented to the Council Monday night, which had the effect of killing their arneedment as presented by Aid. Kerr.

Two real-estate men in whose names stands most of the property do not pose as committees, but they are the head and front of the deal and their hired men act for them. I If any change is made Sixty-fifth street should be left out because it is a narrow street and is pushed by men working for personal interest." It is not likely that the Sixty-fifth street boomers will have their way. The ordinance as it was passed Monday night will probably be accepted by the Illinois Central company. Certainly that corporation couid not get a more favorable one between Sixty-thir and Sixty-seventh streets. rhis would do away with the openings at Sixty-fourth and Sixty-sixth streets, as Aid.

"Those vIvs A gauzy story was furnished yesterday in reference to the Lake View water-works. It was asserted that there would be an increased supply by July 1. Investigation proved that there is no likelihood of that promise being fulfiiled. The Lake View crib is yet at the shore end of the tunnel. It is not likely to be towed into its place for three weeks to come and then it will take a month to sink the shaft.

The contractors are taking their time as usual. Lake View's water supoly will not be improved till Aug. 1. The extension of the tunnel is not yet out of the rock. It is partly in rock and partly in clay.

Fifty-two feet were cut through last week. Less than 500 feet of the four-mile tunnel remain to be cut through now. The connections will be made in two weeks. Investigations show that the two faces will come together even. There will be no delay on that score.

The cleaning out and repairing of the tunnels will take about two months longer. A gauzy story was furnished yeeterday in reference to the Lake View water works.

May 26.Senator Peffer today introduced a bill to "Increase the currency and provide for its circulation; to reduce the rates of interest, and to establish a bureau of loans and it was laid on the table for the present, Mr.

PetTer exoressmg his intention of addressing the Senate on the subject. It provides for a bureau of loans within the Treasury department, to be conducted by three commissioners with salaries of $5.000 each. This bureau is to establish loan agencies, one of which is to be at the Capitol of every State and Territory. to tend money to the people, just as such business is now done by responsible and well regulated real estate and loan agencies." The loans are to be for not less than one year. nor for longer than (the number of years left blank).

No loans is to be for less than $100 or more than $2,500 to or for any elle person or family; and no loan is to be granted unless it be to procure or to save a home. The funds required to carry out the act are to be provided by the issue of Treasury notes, equal in amount to a dollar and a half for every dollar's worth of gold and silver coin and bullion belonging to the United States. The bill prohibits banks or corporations from demanding or receiving more than 5 per cent interest, or 4 per cent where the loan extends over a year. tP BOUGHT AN AMERiCAN Senator Perfar's Hilt for One Provides for Terminal Comm 1St OnerS Recover.

-Silver Men Confident the Measure Will Dave at Least Three Votes to Spare on the Final BalletFull Text of the Hill A Dill for a National Bureau of Loaits Bought an American PatentMiscella- aeons Capital Item WASHINGTt IC, D. May Senator David B. Hill beat the record as a today. From the Senate chamber to the reetaurant in the basement is about 400 'feet. There are NO sets of marble stairs to be descended.

Hill' name is No. 41 on the roll call. It takes a clerk about 40 seconds to reach This afternoon wan the roll i sail began on the motion to take up Senator Stewatt's free coinage bill Hill was in his seat. By the time his name was reached he 'was in the restaurant. In his haste he ran against Henry Cabot Lodge, knocking the Iklaesachusetts Congressman over a table, and apologizing breathlessly.

Mr. Lodge was at tiret inclined to be angry, but when he learned why Hill had been racing against time he accepted the profuse apologies of the New York Senator. MrsHill succeeded in dodging a test vote on silver. He excited, however the contempt I of Senator Gorman, another dodger. Said Gorman: Hill doesn't know enough to get general pair." It is doubtful whether Gorman is right, for a general pair carries with it a record for or against any measure.

Gorman was also in the chamber when the voting tegan, but slipped out into the marble room, while his pair with Senator Frye of Maine was announced. As Frye is uncompromismgly against free silver no one is fooled by Gor- man's pair into believing that the Maryland Senator is on the same side. Brice of Ohio alao disappeared when the voting began and up as soon as it was over. He had a pair with Felton of California, and possibly supposed that because he was paired with a Silver State Senator it would be assumed that he was on the other side. But as Felton distinctly announced his position against free coinage the record as made up places Brice as favoring it.

So, probably, an out-and-out dodge, such as Hill made, is the thing after all The silver Senators in both parties have been counting noses of late. They were determined that the National conventions should be forced to make some to silver in the platforms. More than they thought the outlook was not hepeless for tne passage of a Free-Coinage bill through both Housed. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the discussion of the Morgan res dution would have expired for the day, Senator Stewart moved to take his Free-Coinage bill from the calendar. It had been reported adversely by the committee.

The voting soon showed that the free-coinage men had a safe majority for getting their measure up, and the motion prevailed by 28 to 20. Of the affirmative votes 18 were cast by Democrats, 10 by Republicans, and 2 by Farmers' Alliance Senators. Those voting in the negative were 16. Republicans and 4 Democrats. The Senate1 therefore, brought the Free-Coinage bill squarely before it, and it cannot now be gotten out of the way without a vote, though it easy be temporarily la4.1 aside for the appropriations.

While the immediate purpose of the free coinage Senators is to influence the National conventions and to have some share in directing- Presidential politics, they think they have votes enough to send the bill to the House. If this were done, the free coinage Democrats in that body would be able to get signatures enough to insure a closure rule, and the Lill would go to the White House to meet a veto. After the measure was up today some figuring was done on the voting to see what the chances of its passage were. In addition to the four Democratic Senators who voted against taking the Stewart bill from the calendar, McPherson of New Jersey would oppose its passage. It is claimed that on the final vote Brice would also be forced to record himself against free coinage.

But if be is really against it he takes a queer means of showing hie opposition. It is generally believed that when the test comes both Gorman and Hill will vote for free coinage. Gorman was asked the other day by Phitetus Sawyer why he didn't define his position. Why," he replied, "I'm all right." "How's said Sawyer. Why, I voted on both sides of the question." With leading Democratic Senators taking this position it would be hard to find more than seven of them who can be counted on to stand out pigainst the Stewart bill or any free coinage measure.

Those for whom pairs were announced today were, with possibly one ()x- i eeption, in favor of free coinage. Senator Carlisle was paired with Senator Sherman. but- he is not committed and has given some 1 indications that he will vote against any free i coinage till. Of the Republican Senators 1 who voted to take the bill from the calendar all would vote for its paseage. In addition Wolcott, Pettigrew, and Dubois were paired In fevor of free coinage.

The final vote will undoubtedly be much closer than that had today, and -tome of the experts figure out that it 1 would take the castmg vote of the Vice-President to decide against free coinage. The general belief, however, is that the supporters of the measure will have a majority of not less than three and not more than seven. Senator Allison said this afternoon that while the measure would be vigorously opposed he was not sure that it could be defeated. The Southern Democratic Senators seem to get more satisfaction out of the action of the Senate than any one else, though the Republicans from silver States are also gleeful. From the Demoeratic standpoint it was claimed that the result would be to intensify the opposition to Cleveland in the South and 4 Southwest.

The silver State Senators were equally sure that with President Harrison so strongly recorded against free coinage his chances would also be hurt. During the debate Mr. Higgins asked Mr. Morgan to give some proof or demonstration of his argument against the gold men. "If I should bring demonstration strong as proof of Holy Writ," Mr.

Morgan replied, the Senator from Delaware would be of the same opinion still, and I will not waste my time about it." Coining again to the question of the likelihood of a Presidential veto to a free-silver coinage bill, Mr. Morgan said: We have had other Presidents to veto silver bills and what has become of them? There is a very I prominent gentleman now before the country Whom every Democrat is the United States honestly loves and reveres for his manly integrity, his great broad statesmanship, and his Eplendid administration of the government; and yet, be- cause Democrats love the people better than they do him. they would see him go to. his political grave in a moment rather than take him and put bun whore he could have opportunities to Join hands with the Senator from Ohio in inflicting the final death blow on silver.

Some of it was filled in like a good deal of your lakefront land, and what was not in is like other Chicago mudso soft that it will yield to a shovel almost without other pressure than the shovel's weight. In preparing for the foundations of the depot.

which will be an unusually heavy one, I figured that pile setting would make the best foundation bed for a heavy building in Chicago, and we are driving the piles now in clusters of from four to seventy-the. We did not know until we started on this work that thq eight-foot tunnel running to the Fourteenth street pumping-station ran directly under our site. Why. there is a junction of tunnels right under where the tower of our building is to be. This discovery was not made any too soon.

The piles we are using are from fifty to seventy feet long, and they are sent home with an unusually heavy hammer. If it were not that we make borings in locating piles we might have started one right over the tunnel, and, with the tremendous power applied, the pile would have been driven clear through the tunnel, heavy as its walls are. The piles are of oak, tamarac, and other hard woods. But now that we know where the tunnel is, all danger of striking it The location of the new depot as far south as Twelfth street is one of the most far-sighted moves ever made in Chicago. It will settle the problem for many years, I think.

When the New York Central station was built at Forty-second street, New York City. people said it was out in the woods, but it will have to go above the Harlem. That problem will have to be settled within five years for the benefit of New York. Talking not long ago to Mr. Depew he told me of delaysto trains on his roads caused by a freight boat passing through the draw bridge over the Harlem.

Hundreds of New York business-men were delayed from ball an hour to an hour and a half. and what do you think composed the cargo of that freighl boat? Not a blessed thing but a barrel of apples and a calf. The railroad company is already arranging to cross the Harlem on a high bridge at great expense." (Trim ors this rule.

"American rights to this machine," continues Mr. Byers. "have been purchased by the association of embroiderers of St. Gall, aided, as I understand, by the government. Their object in the purchase was not so much to put the machine in operation at present as It was to prevent the American patents passing into American hands, thus increasing the competition in the embroidery business in the United States."

MISCELLANY OF THE CAPITAL. SUNDRY CIVIL BILL IN THE HOUSE. It Condemn the Chicago 'Nuisance In De ciding an Appeal. The Appellate Court yesterday condemned the smoke nuisance in Chicago in deciding the appeal of Marshall Field from the Criminal This was a prosecution by the city of the firm for a 'violation of the "smoke ordinance," which was neld by the Supreme Court in klarmon City of Chicago to be valid. In the Criminal Court two witnesses, uncontradicted, testified to dense smoke coming from the chimney of the retail Etore of Marshall Field SL Co.

June IL Judge Gary, in the opinion, says: The evidence is not satisfactory as to the surroundings of that store, but it may fairly be presumed that in the discussion of the case before a Chicago jury the surroundings have been assumed. "Courts will not pretend to be more ignorant than the rest of mankind," and the fact that the northeast corner of State and Washington streets is in the business center of the second city of the Nation may almost be judicially noticed. The firm urged that the testimony of a witness was wrongfully excluded and complained of the refusal of this instruction to the jury: The jury is instructed that it is the duty of the city to prove among other things that the smoke that issued from the chimney of the defendants at the time complained of was not only dense, but was, at that particular time, of a nature detrimental to the property which was close enough in proximity to it to be affected by it injuriously. or was of a nature to be personally annoying to the -public at large, id unless the jury believes from the evidence that the smoke complained of was, at the particular time in question. dense and also proved to be detrimental to property within the City of Chicago.

or was of a nature to be personally annoying to the public at large, then your verdict should be for the defendant. The latter half of the instruction as to what the jury should believe in order to convict the Appellate Court says was proper, but not so the first half, requiring the city to prove what may be presumed without proof. In concluding the opinion reads: It is matter of common knowledge that smoke becomes soot which falls and blackens where it rests; that it is injurious to vegetation, to many kinds of goods, end annoying to people. This common knowledge is so generally diffused in Chicago that no jury could be without The judgment of $50 of the court below was affirmed. Adjutant-General Reece of Springfield was at the Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday, having -just completed a ten days' trip through the part of the State most affected by the recent floods.

The devastation along the Mississippi between Alton and Cairo is general," he said, "and thousands of people have been rendered homeless. In Randolph County alone 2,000 people were rendered homeless and lost almost all they possessed. The water has subsided but slightly, and the farmers whose lands were flooded will be unable to plant a single acre. Much destitution exists, and a great deal of help is yet needed to tide the unfortunate people over their difficulty. Had not generous aid been by the State and the people the suffering would have been ten-fold what it has been, and there might have been cases of actual starvation.

I never witnessed such general havoc and ruin." Gov. Fifer accompanied Gen. Reece, and hundreds of tents and other supplies in possession of the State were turned over to the unfortunates. ASTOR-DRAYTON COMPLICATIONS. CHICAGO FLY-CASTING CLUB PRACTICES.

Experiments in the Art Piscatorial Are Made at Washington Park. Ever since Izaak Walton wrote his tomplete Angler, or the Contemplative Man's Rec reation," the rod and line has been a favorite with men who love nature and quiet nooks by rushing streams where the speckled trout disports or the broader expanse fed by mountain torrents, where the grayling and the bass prolong a tug of war and surrender only with the last gasp on the grassy slope. By universal consent there is nothing cruel in scientific and sportsmtvnlike fishing, yet to the true disciple of the gentle Izaak there is no combat more exhilarating, or one that requires more skill and finesse, than one with a finny antagonist, whose size and pluck make him a foe-man worthy of the reel. Chicago has many enthusiastic anglers, and they have formed themselves into a club called 4 The Chicago Fly-Casting Club." All of them are not experts in casting the fly, but are anxious to become so. As an organization they taboo all bait and will permit only the fly to be thrown.

The club has permission from the Park Commissioners to use the little lakes for practice and instruction, and yesterday afternoon a number of them met in Park and tried their skill in casting. They caught no fish, for that was not their intent, but they had a good deal of sport and exercise and several of them learned that they would need much more experience before they became expert casting the fly. The flies used were those for bass. Some of those present showed a skill and ease acquired by experience in dropping the fly when desired and giving life to it at the end of fifty or sixty feet of line which aroused the admiration of the Although most of those present have been solely accustomed to bait-casting, all present pronounced their first venture with the fly a success and a delight and are certain to become enthusiasts in the practice. Those who were present were Henry Babarck, President of the club; E.

William Astor's Death Leaves the Affair In a TangleTo Probate the WI IINEw 'YORK, May Coleman Drayton.

is on his way home from Swansea, Wales, with his four children, Carolina A. Drayton, Henry Coleman Drayton, William A. Drayton. and Alicia Livingston Drayton, having sailed on the White Star liner Teutonic, Tuesday. These children are mentioned by name in William Astor's will, and that docurrilent cannot be admitted to probate by Surrogate Ransom without their presence in this country.

A great many people have argued that William Astor believed in the sensational and circumstantial stories of Mrs. Coleman Drayton's misdeeds, and showed that belief by cutting her out of hus will. Mr. Drayton has charge of the children by virtue of the famous agreement," which hats been so disterted as to have been construed into a confession on Mrs. Drayton's part.

As that agreement was claimed to have been signed by William Astor for his daughter it lapsed with his death and there are no provisions for the further payment of $15.000 per year to Mr. J. Coleman Drayton. The terms of virtual separation between Mr. and Mrs.

Drayton have been so completely upset that a readjustment all the way around is not only advisable but necessary. It is well known that Mr. Drayton desires to retain his children, and that he has had an up-town house placed in thorough order for their reception, even retaining nurses and governesses who are now in his employ. When Mr. Drayton arrives the Astor attorneys, Lord.

Day Lord, will move in the matter of probate. Mr. Drayton will be welcomed at a family council of the Astors when he rsaches this city next Sunday or Monday. Provision for Enforcing the Chinese Exclusion Law. WASHINGTON, D.

C. May 26.In the House the action of John LDavenport, whose name always gives rise to a contention between New York Republicans and Democrats, came up for discussion late in the day, and the methods pursued by him in New York elections were denounced by Messrs. Cummings, Warner, and Fitch, and defended by Mr. Payne. The Sundry Civil bill was still pending when the House adjourned.

Mr. Cheatham of North Carolina, the colored member who poured oil on the troubled waters yesterday in the Hone, was recognized this morning to ask consent for the tion of a bill appropriating $100,000 for the compilation of statistics showing the progress of the colored race from Jan. 1, 1863, to Jan. 1. 1893.

Mr. Kilgore of Texas objected, and the House went into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Lester of Georgia in the chair) on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. The committee proceeded to the considerstion of the clause appropriating for the enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion act. To this a substitute, offered by Mr.

Loud of California, was pending. The substitute appropriates $160,000 to prevent the unlawful entry of Chinese, for the registration of Chinese now in the United States, and for the expenses of returning to China all Chinese persons found to be unlawfully in the United States. Mr. Bowers of California said that the Democratic party could not deceive the people of the Pacific coast by passing a stringent exclusion act and then refusing to appropriate money to carry it into effect. This action would show the people that although the Democrats were in favor of a stringent law, they were opposed to its enforcement.

Mr. Loud's substitute was rejected and on Ynotion of Mr. Holman the appropriation carried into the bill was increased to $60,090. on motion of Mr. Martin of Indiana an appropriation of $5,000 was made for commissary quarters at the Marion Soldiers' Home.

The House Judiciary committee today adopted the report prepared by Representative Oates of Alabama, giving the findings of fact and conclusions of the special committee which investigated the charges made against Judge Boarman of Louisiana.

A Case That Warrants Special Reprisals Webster's Claim in the Senate. WAsHINGTON, D. May 26.The Senate in executive session has taken action in a case that has figured in many administrations and in the language of the Senate Foreign Relations committee presents such repeated instances of injustice and of delay and denial of justice by the final action of the Government of GYeat Britain as to warrant the interposition of the United States, and if other means of redress have been exhausted, would justify special reprisals. This is the case of William Webster, who seeks compensation from the Government of Great Britain for 500.000 acres of land in New Zealand, acquired by him from the native chiefs and afterward seized by the Government of Great Britain. The Senate today, having already been iaformed as to the details of the case, adonted the resolution submitted by the committee declaring that the Senate considers that the claim is founded in justice and deserves the support of the United States.

The unexpended balance of public moneys now in the hands of disbursing officers is 559,900. Secretary Foster regards this as largely exceeding the actual requirements of the service, in view of the fact that the cash balance of the Treasury, including national bank deposits and subsidiary and minor coin has fallen to $23,946.335.

Lines of Defense in the Electric Refining Cases at Ann Arbor. Am; ARBOR, May the Electric sugar case today James U. Robertson, Treasurer of the company, has been on the stand.

He said that besides the $105t000 which he swore yesterday had been paid. to the Friends, the company had also furnished $90,000 for engine construction, rent, and expenses at the factory. The company had received $3,000 worth of sugar of the Friends, which had been sold. The cross-examination brought out two lines of defense. The first was that Cotterill and Robertson acted double with the Electric company and made out a.

number of the contracts as individuals, on which the company seeks to recover, and a number of these contracts were presented and identified by the witness. Another line of the defense is that not a single contract stipulated that raw sugar is to be refined. Unsigned contracts stipulating "raw sugar" were presented, which it was claimed Robertson. and Cotterill drew up and presented to Mrs. Friend to be signed.

but which she refused to do because raw sugar was stipulated, and so notined them. The duplicate with raw" omitted was signed and presented in evidence. The defense will make the claim that Robertson and Cetterill were acquainted with the fact that raw sugar was not used in the demonstrations. NAYS. Cameron, (-fray, Proctor, Cullom, Hale, Sawyer.
