Tbs Star has the following: "Tlie understanding is that the general deficiency bill will lie a' -ted upon jinnnptly by the w-nate, so as to du-pose of it finally next week. The tariff question will Iss the only thing then in the way of.

He Cspresses Himself Freeljr on the Is-nes of the Campaign and Think His Party Is 8nr of 8uoes. New York, Sept 15.

T. C. Crawford, the well known correspondent of The World, oontriliutes a two column interview with Senator John Sherman. Inreply to a question what he thought of the prospects of the Republican party he said: "I think that the trend is our war. I think tha prospect for our sucrew is good.

Th election results thus far declared show largely increased Renublican maioritios. These am good indications of the tendency of public He said the tariff is the only issue, and that the attempt to change the question at issus from the tariff has not succeeded. The retaliation bill proposed by the president was a blunder. The president's devious course concerning this question must shake confidence In his judgment, at least. Said he: "He had ample authority, in my judgment, under the existing law to correct all of the differences growing out of our intercourse with Canada.

The measure now pending is one which would mo incalculable injury to our interest. The injury to Canada would be relatively very mall. What is proposed is quite in keeping with her policy, which is to maintain as independent a position as possible. This bill strikes a blow directly at all the commerce of the great lakes. We send nearly everything to Canada and receive very little in return.

The enforcement of the retaliation bill would effect the greatest possible injury to certain American interests without seriously hurting She was permitted to finish, and then the Canadian business.

"How is it that this condition of things was not presented in the house "It was rushed through there without discussion, and our people were in a measure cowardly in not attempting to stop its passage.

When it came to the senate, the ill-advised character of such hasty action was apparent, and the matter was referred. "Do you think the measure will be passed The senator said in reply that he did not know what would become of it; but it was clearly to to inferred from his manner that he thought nothing more would be done with it, and tliat the presiden't message upon tha suDjecx was simply co De regarded as a casual campaign documeut. xie saiu inai me minese um proposea in illorror Upon Horror.

WASHnroTOX, Sept 15. Mr. Sherman made a long speech in the senate in r. spouse to the aocusstioa of Senator Vest that the Republicans bad delayed the report of a tariff measure. In the course of his remarks he alluded to the Mills bill as an abortion of a bilL He said that the Democratic party had been fourteen years preparing a tariff measure, and it did not becdme a representative of that party to taunt the Republican party with its tardiness.

The finance committee, he said, would report a bill in its own good time, and if the house of representatives wished to prolong the sen ion until the report was made it would have to wait until the senate committee was ready. said that If the principles of the president's message and letter of acceptance were true, all the tariff laws should be repeafesL Mr. Vest followed with a defence of the administration and its tariff doctrine. At 2.10 p. m.

the senate took a vote on Mr. Blair's motion to reconsider the vote on the Chinese bill. Mr. Blair's motion was carried: Yeas, 18; nays, 17. No quorum was present the vote again postponed until next Monday.

HAS STANLEY BEEN MURDERED? Rome Reason from the Mnraler of Hart-telot That He Has. Isyxnox, Sept. 15. The reported death of Maj. Barttelot continue to be the topic of general conversation, and the prevalent belief is that if Tippoo Tib betrayed Barttelot, as was alleged, he had previously betrayed Stanley.

This line of reasoning is projected from the premise that Tippoo Tib, knowing and fearing Stanley, would not have dared to connive at the destruction of Barttelot, except with the knowledge that the latter was powerless to punish his treachery. There are persons, however, whose intimate acquaintance with Barttelot lead them to assume that his death was the ivsult of his intolerant manner, and nowise attributable to the machinations of the king of the slave traders. Barttelot, these gentlemen assert, was a pronounced martinet ami the murder, in their judgment, was probablv due to his unwise ami unreasoning severity in dealing with his subordinates.

Goldenson, who was but 20 years old, passed the night in drinking, playing cards and singing songs, and met his fate with the bravado which he has all along shown. The case has excited more interest on the coast than any murder that has occurred for years. Two attempts were made to lynch Goldenson during the two years which have elapsed since the murder, but in both cases the police succeeded in beating off the mob. A determined nhd able legal fight has been made for the prisoner, and it was only Thursday that ill hope was abandoned. Clever Sneak Thievery.

ButtaiJ, Sept. 15. The paying teller of the Third National bank went to lunch, leaving on his counter, among other money, a package of in bills of various denominations.

Yesterday was the saddest day since the epidemic began.

The gloom is intensified by the promi-nctm of nriTTU of the victim, esneciallv two I Louis I. Fleming and Hon. Henry A. Lengle, the latter cashier of the State bank, ex-state treasurer and chiirman of the sanitation I committee. Mr.

Fleming was oue of tlie best i known citizens of Florida. He was a grand-j son of Gen. Lewis Fatio and a brother of the Democratic candidate for governor. He was -f noted not only for his legal ability, but for always refusing to argue a case that he did not conscientiously believe to be right. Mr.

Fleming and Mr. Lengle were relatives, and they died at nearly the same hour. Other victims were Frank W. Ely, a leading insurance man; Mrs. O.

The Citizens' association resolved to pay for the erection of a hospital to be maintained by the Knights Templar. Dr. Mallatt, eminent commander and projector of the hospital in behalf of the order, was stricken with fever yesterday. Rev. Dr.

Weller, of St. John's church, is still ill from overwork. He is an epidemic veteran from Vicksburg. Camp Mitchell is being rapidly built and equipped. A large order for hospital, camp and general supplies was telegraphed to New York.

CoL Fred Southmayd, of New Orleans, the one-armed valiant lieutenant of Clara Barton in the Red Cross army, arrived yesterday. He stopped over at Macclenny, and left nurses there and straightened out affairs. There were eleven deaths there to date. He says the place is nearly deserted and presents a very desolate appearance. The fever will probably depopulate the place.

Twenty nurses arrived here from Savannah, Atlanta, Nashville and Charleston. They bring comfort to the people and cheer to the sick. But doctors are still needed. Twenty acclimated physicians are needed, and they could be used to advantage. The Western Union Telegraph company has given $500 in cash to the sufferers and thousands of dollars worth of free telegraphing.

The new hospital at Sand Hills will soon be completed and will be a godsend. Dr. Sollace Mitchell will move there on Sunday, and remain during the continuance of the fever. New cases Miss Lucy Huller, James McDonald, L. Ring, Mabel Gilbert, Ruth Gilbert and infant, Mrs.
