2 SILVER IN THE SENATE A > EFFORT T(t IJMTK AM. TIIE *KIEM>S OF i HE H JIIIB >ll-; r > i. BUTLER STRONGLY ADVOCATES IT The Plan i- < >r All the Silver Senator* to Retain Their Party vllegiance ou VII Oih r Questions hut Act as a Compact Botiv When the Matter of Finances is Brooghl Up-- A Fund Be ing liaised far a Systematic and Thorough silver Campaign. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (Special.) There is an effort being made to con solidate the silver interests in the Sen ate into one compact body when the matter of finances is brought np. each member otherwise to maintain his party affiliations. Senator Butler, of North Carolina, is one of the strong advocates of this principle. This new deal among the silverites became noticable to-day. Senator Harris, the leader of the silver Democrats in the Senate, favors a fight for free silver within the lines of the Democratic party. Those who support this idea in the Senate are endeavoring to establish an office, provide clerks, prepare litera ture, etc;., to run their campaign. It is claimed that about twenty Dem ocratic Senators are in this arrange ment. A good sized fund has already lieen raised and head quarters, it is be lieved, will be opened within a short time. Senator Butler, since his arrival in Washington, has been very active in trying to secure the combined efforts of the silver members of the Senate. Since the Populists made a failure in combining the silver men in a reorgan ization of the Senate they Imv** held al<x>f from both the other parties. It is certain now that the only way the silver members can work harmonious ly for the same end in the restoration of silver will lie to work through party lines. e * » It is talked among Secretary Car lise’s acquaintances that President Cleveland offered the Associate Judge ship of the Supreme Court to Secre tary Carlisle, but t Is** latter refused, preferring to return to private life af ter the term of the present administra tion expires. * « * \ir.

C., vice 11. C. Yarborough resigned. The appointment of Mr. Ray, e\- Kevonuc Collector, of Reklsville, as Dis bursing Clerk in the House, has been determined upon. This apjiointment was obtained through influence of Congressman Settle. Mr. Thos. Taylor, Raleigh, who lias a position in the United States revenue service, has been ordered to the State of Washington. He is in Washington City now, accompanied by Dr. Sandy Hawkins and wife, Miss Mattie Bailey and his sister. Miss Lizzie Taylor, who will remain here until he leaves for his new post. Maj. H. L. Grant, of Goldsboro, is at the Ebbitt. Maj. Grant j* a candidate for Secretary of the Senate and is backed by Senators Butler and Pritch ard, of North Carolina. Cards are issued for the marriage of Mr. Frederick Harper, of Wilmington, to Miss Carrie Warwick, daughter <>f Senator and Mrs. John W. Daniels, of Lynchburg, Ya. THE BABY OF THE HOUSE. A study of the new Congressional Directory shows that the infant of the House is Norman A. Mozly, of Dexter, Mo., whose thirtieth birthday comes on Wednesday next. He is the only Mernlx-r of the House w ho is less than thirty years of age. This is regarded as strange, in view of the fact, that the minimum age for Representatives is twenty-five, and that there are usually quite a few who are not much in ex cess of that age. There are only three Members who may still speak of their age as lieing “thirty,” although the thirty-first milestone is getting very near for two of them. These are Mc- Clellan, of New York City, whose birth day was November 2.'!; Settle, of North Carolina, who passed the mark on March 10, and Fitzgerald, the only Massachusetts Democrat in the House, who admitted to thirty on February 11 last. There are only twenty-eight men in the entire House who are less than thirty-six years of age, while the aver age of the body is4B'/k- higher than it has been for many years. There is a general impression that the Western Congressmen are, as a rule, younger than the Eastern ones,but this is en tirely w rong, so far as this Congress is concerned. The youngest, men are from the South. The South, however, does not. fall very far below the general average, which, in fact, applies closely to all sections except New England. The last is very far above the average, her twenty-seven members having a total of 1,364 years among them, giving them over 54 each. Next highest comes the West, by' which is meant the great body of States between tin* Mis sissippi and the Rockies, excluding the definitely Southern States. The aver age there is 49 years. The Middle States, including all those bounded by New England, the South and the Mississippi, have exactly the average of the whole country TS*/ 2 years. Af ter them comes the Pacific Coast, with an average of 48, and the South brings up the rear with an average of 47’: . one year less than the general a Linage of the country. ot only is the deficiency of young uten in tin* house very marked, but the presence of old ones is also con spicuous. There are ten members who are more than sixty-five years of age, and two who are over seventy. These I are Grow (Pennsylvania), seventy-two; Harris (Ohio) seventy-one; Daniels (New York), sixty-nine;Sperry (Con necticut), sixty-eight; Clark (Mis souri), sixty-eight.; (lardy (Ken tucky), sixty-seven; Walker (Massa chusetts), sixty-six; Stewart. (Wiscon sin), sixty-six; Willis (Delaware), sixty-five; * Culberson (Texas), sixty five. Os these, Grow has served eight terms in the house, and has been its Speaker; Culberson lias served eleven terms, Walker four and Daniels two. Alt the others are in Congress for the first time, a rather surprising thing, as old men in the House have generally been there a long time. When we come to consider the aver age of the State delegat ions, it appears that the small States, with only n few members have both the oldest and tin* youngest averages. I*or instance, the two youngest delegations are Idaho and Montana, which have only one member each, aged thirty-two. Next comes Wyoming, also with one mem ber, who is thirty-five. After these come Colorado, Florida, Nebraska. North Carolina and South Dakota, none of them very large, all with an average of about 42 1 / 2 years. The averages of the. larger States are as follows: New York, 4*>; Pennsyl vania, 52; Ohio, 5.1; Georgia, 50; Illi nois, 471/..: Indiana, 44; lowa, 51: Ken tucky, 51; Ma-ssachusets, 45; Michi gan. 50; Missouri, 48 Tennessee, 50; Texas. 49; Virginia, 49; Wisconsin. 4s. These States have each at least fen representatives. Other averages are: California, 52: Arkansas, 40; Louisiana, 48. The oldest delegation is Delaware's, whose single representative is sixty iivc. Maine and Vermont average 59, and New Hampshire and Connecticut STATE NEWS. Junior class exercises will be held at Guilford College December 14th. Col. Bob Taylor lectured at Char lotte last night, and Sousa s band gave a concert there yesterday evening.

The Wilmington Evening Dispatch appears before its readers under new management and in its original size, Mr. B. P. McClaminv Incoming its publisher and proprietor. Tin* Fayetteville Observer this week savs that work is progressing rapidly on' the Holt cotton factory, 175,000 brick having been laid. It also notes that 900 shares of 5*50 each have been subscribed in the co-operative factory to be erected. Cards are out for the marriage of Mr. X. N. Davis and Miss Mary Dick inson Giles, daughter of Mr. Norman Biles, all of Wilmington. The wedding will take place at St. -lames' Episcopal Church at 0:20 o'clock p. m.. Tuesday. Deceinljer 17th. The Womb's edition ot the Ashe- j viHe Citizen, issued last Thursday, is a splendid paper.

I The Charlotte News tells of a little 12-vear-old girl in Mecklenburg county who cut one of her fingers on the point of an Indian arrow head. About two hours afterwards she was seized with violent pains , and her finger be gan to swell. She suffered the saun as a person whe had been snake bit ten, and a doctor worked with her all night. The supposition is that it was a poisoned arrow and had retained the poison through all these years. ALL QUILT IN TURKEY. No Further Conflicts Reported Except at Zeitoun. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 9.
