There are entered for the office of
doorkeeper Charles H. Turner, of New
York, who held the position during the
Fifty-second congress Edwin B. Smith,
of Texas, at present superintendent of
the clerk h' document room, and possi
bly Mr. Thomas Jefferson Coakley, of
N^w York, a special employe of tholast
house. As Turner and Coakley are both
Tammany hall meu, it will be the pro
vince of Chief Richard Croker to say
which shall make the race. The in
dications are that Smith, who is a well
known newspaper man, will get a large
Southern and Western support. The
office of doorkeeper is important in that
it controls the largest amount of pat
ronage in the house. There are over
180 positions that this office can distri
bute among the congressmen who sup
ported him, ranging from |900 to$2,000.
The last of the places is the postoffice.
which is filled at present by Lycurgus
Dal ton of Indiana. No candidate for
his job has yet appeared, nor is any
likely to appear. Mr. Dalton was also
postmaster of the Fiftieth congress.
For Floor leader.
Mr. McMillin of Tennessee, it is said,
has been selected as the floor leader of
the Democracy, and Mr. Wilson of
West Virgiuia, will be chairman of the
committee on ways and means, suc
ceeding Mr. Springer..
It is not generally thought that Mr.
Holm an will be reappointed chairman
of the committee on appropriations.
Mr. Sayers of Texas is frequently and
earnestly mentioned as the next chair
man of this important committee, an is
also Mr. Dockery of Missouri. Mr.
Tarsney of that state, has been making
strong running for the pension chair
manship, and at the latest advices had
no publicly announced opponent.
'C THE CALL,
ofllw President's EMM
i Proclamation.
WASHINGTON,
_'Vi'
"ij..
V
July 8.—'The calling of
congress in estra session is already
evoking a feeling of great interest.
Such changes as are to be made in the
official force of the senate, including a
new secretary nnd sergeant-at-arms,
have already been determined upon and
the new officers will enter upon their
duties and salaries when the senate
meets. The only new face on the floor
of the senat? will bs Mr. Stanford's
successor, appointed by the governor of
California. The other senators were
sworu in on the 5th of March last.'
Hnaite Henrgiiniiation.
A complete reorganisation of the
house is in vol red. with many, new mem
bers to take their seats.
A new speaker, clerk, sergeant-at
arms, doorkeeper and postmaster are
to be elected, and new committees are
to be appointed. This does not neces
sarily mean a change in the personnel
of all these officials, but it is quite in
the bound* of probability that some of
them may be supplanted by new men.
As to the speakership, it is universally
^r^4ted that Charles F. Crisp of Georgia
will wield the gavel in the Fifty-third
congress. There is no talk of opposition
to him, nor has there been any.
As to the clerkship, it wonld seem
that the present incumbent, James
Kerr of Pennsylvania, occupies almost,
if not quite as satisfactory a position as
Judge Crisp. The patronage of his of
fice is quite extensive, and some of the
best paid positions in the house are
within his gift, such as the chief clerk,
the journal and assistant journal clerk,
the reading clerks, and a dozen others,
who get all the way from $1,200 to
|2,000 per year.
For Her(ftaDNit«Aras.
Ex-Representative Yoder of Ohio,
who filled the office of sergeant-at-arma
last time, will not get it again without
a battle. Another Buckeye man, Mr.
S:iin E. Johnson o£ the Cincinnati En
quirer, has announced his candidacy
for the office. It is said that the Ohio
delegation may hold a conference and
decide which of the two shall run, as it
will be r^Jher awkward for one state to
present two candidates for the same
place. But an Illinois man aho has
his eye on the place. He is Herman
W. Snow, who was a member of the
Fifty-second congress, and it is said
that the Illinois delegation will work
valiantly for his success. Mr. Snow is a
man of means and was elected hi a Re
publican district, ther one formerly
represented by Mr. Pay son.

6ENT1MI NTS OF SENATORS*
Opinions to thr Repeal of the
Sherman Uw FxpresaedL
CHICAGO, July 3.—The Inter-Ocean
publishf»H the following messages from
United S:ates senators in answer to a
request for their opinions on the Sher
man law:
M. S. Quay: I will rote for the un
conditional repeal of the Sherman law.
8. C. Cullom: I shall vote for the
repeal of the act kuown as the Sher
man silver law.
Lyuinn R. Casey: Yon may quote
me as saying I think the repeal of the
Sherin.'ui law of imperative importance,
W. B. Allioon: I txpect to vote for
the repeal of so much of the Sherman
law, so called, as authorizes the
monthly purchases of silver bullion.
Phil«tus Sawyer: I am decidedly of
the opinion that the so-called Sherman
law should be repealed at ornre. and
I voted that way in the senate last
winter.
James McMillan (Mich.): I am in
favor of the repeal o the Sherman law,
and will favor an timenduient to allow
the national banks to issue currency on
bonds at par.
T. C. Power: 1 do not favor the re
peal without a satisfactory substitute.
Chicago has derived much benefit from
the silver producing West, and should
assist in securing favorable silver legis
lation.
Francis R. Stockbridge: The so
called Sherman law should be repealed
at the earliest possible day. Remove
nil fear of our purpose to pay our credi
tors in cheap silver and all will be well.
W. D. Washburn: While individually
I think the importance of this law has
be«n greatly exaggerated in connection
with the existing condition of things,
yet I feel that it should be repealed
without delay.
H. C. Hansbrongh: It should be re
pealed at once. The real cause of the
trouble would then be iveaied. ||h-
JUST A BI-UFF. Jf
Colorado Mine* Will Only CloeeDown
Temporarily-.
v
CHEYENNE, Wy., July 8.— Mayor
Charles H. Burritt of Buffalo, Wy.,
spent several days in Denver, endeavor
ing to ascertain just what the feeling
of the Colorado mine owners is in re
gard to the outlook for silver. In an
interview Mr. Burritt said: "Although
the owners of the smelters and the min
ing men have given notice that mines
in Colorado will be closed down and
thousands of men thrown out of em
ployment on account or' the low price of
silver. I do not believe it will be done.
The silver producers are simply en
deavoring to
Slnff the East.
'•While in Colorado I made a special
effort to get the opinions of as many
mining men as possible, and with one
accord they told me that they would
continue to operate their mines, even if
the price of silver went as low as 60
cents an ounce. Should the mines be
closed down it would only be tern
porary and be done for the purpose of
threatening the bi-metalists in the east
In the interests of free coinage. The
silver producers propose to improve the
opportunity to advance the cause of
white metal."
All Cloaed Down.
L*AimLjJE,Colo.. July 3.—Every pro
ducing silver mine in this district has
closed down, and it is not probable that
any resumption of work will take place
until a final settlement of the question
is reached and the market for silver
becomes stable. Thousands of miners
are now idle, with slight hope of imme
diate relief. Ore teams have been turned
to pasture, and all industry is par
alyzed. The six big smelters are hasten
ing the consumption of ore in their
bins, when all will close. Merchants
are canceling orders for fall goods, and
preparations are everywhere being
made for a season of idleness.
Clamoring for Coin.
DENVER. July 8.—The First National
bank of Rico closed its doors because of
a run. Matters are decidedly critical,
for the miners are excited and talk
wildly of bloodshed. Those dismissed
from work were paid with checks on
the bank and they are clamoring for
coin. All business firms have shot
down on credit.

MADISON. SOUTH DAKOTA, IV)NI)A.F, JULY 3. 1K93.
Was
an Order Given by Vice Admiral
Try0B*
to the
Victoria says:
"The fleet waa maneuvering when
Vice Admiral Tryon signalled to the
first division to turn 16 points to star
board. The object of this maneuver
was to bring the ships in position for
anchoring. Vice Admiral Tryon either
forgot or mistook the distance between
the two columns, which were six cable
lengths (3.000 feet) apart The leading
turned toward each other in a circle
the a diameter of which was
three cable lengths (1.800 feet) and a
collision was inevitable. The Camper
down struck the Victoria on the star
board side, midway between her cat
heads and the turret. When Rear Ad
miral Markham saw that his ship was
bound to strike the Victoria he signaled
for the Camperdown's engines to be re
versed. It was too late, however, to
much check the Camperdown's head
way and she struck the Victoria
A Fearful Blow.
Hot only did the ram of the Oti^pesvf
down penetrate the flagship, but her
forecastle was shoved 10 feet under the
forecastle of the Victoria. A bugle call
was sounded on the flagship, calling all
hands to thoir stations and the order
given to clos* the watertight doors in
the bulkheads a minute before the col
lision occured. The Camperdown, how
ever, was swinging rapidly toward the
Victoria, and those on the flagship
scarcely had time to reach the compart
ments before the vessels came together.
The water rushing into the ship
through several of the forward doors
prevented the doors being closed. The
officers who were in the ward room felt
the shock, which was tremendous,
and heard the sound of tearing iron and
the rushing of the water otr board. A
ougier eounueu tne ooitision alarm, but
though^ very body on board the ship
knew lit was in imminent danger, there
was nof the slight*t trace of a panic.
Peri'ect discipline was maintained and
every ofder was obeyed as soon as it
was givten.
All Attempt* Fro It less.
The pumps were cleared and rigged
for action, Slnd Captain Maurice Bourk,
flag captain of the fle«t, made an in
spection to ascertain what bulkhead
doors were closed. All hands were then
ordered to tall in on the port side of the
ship. The collision mat and boom were
got out, An attempt was made to place
the mat over thd hole in the forecastle^
but it failed. The Victoria lay with a
list of from 20 to 25 deg. for at out two
minutef. She was settling by the head
at the time. Suddenly the water run
through the main deck port holes, and
in less than 10 minutes after the ship
went down. In the last few minutes
she keeled ov^r with i rightful rapidity,
but clutching stanchions and anything
else that would hold them, the men
hung on, no oue attempting to leave
the ship. Vice Admiral Tryon saw that
all hope was gone, and gave the order:
"Jump! Save Yourselves!"
Then, and not till then, did the men
break ranks. They climbed into the
weather netting, crying "She's going
down," and scrambling to get hold of
sometning on the upper side of the ship.
The m«n who were in the stern above
the port propeller, which was revolving
rapidly, were when they jumped, close
to it. Some did not clear the blades,
and were instantly killed. Those still
on the stern, seeing their fate, cried:
"Stop the engine, for God's sake!"
Thi9, at course, could not be done, as
it was impossible, even had any
dared to enter the engine room. Many
who jumped went down beneath the
water, but roae again. In the mean
the Victoria had tamed bottom up
and in a few moments she plunged
down bow first, earring with her many
of the men vho were ^till clinging to
her, they having clambered toward her
keel as She turned slowly over after
getting on her side.
Many Struck by Wreckage.
About 400 got clear of the ship before
she sunk, but many of tiieui were struck
by floating wreckage afterwards and so
injured that they drowned. The air
that escaped frotri""tl5e ship as she went
down caused anything that would float
to come to the surface with tremendous
force, and the men struck by the up
coming articles wore in many instances
seem afterwards. For 200
yards around the spot where the
vessel sank the water was a
seething mass, the meft in it being
whirled around,half choked and dashed
against the wreckage for a minute or
two. Souio of those who met their
death by the propeller were terribly
mangled, and many legs and arms were
seen floating in tbe water after the ship
Victoria sank. When last seen, Vice
Admiral Tryon was holding to the rail
on the top of the charthou.se. He did
not have a single chance for his life.
He could hardly have got down the lad
der leading to the deck before his ship
went down. He mad* w attempt to
leave his post.
