CAUCUS COMPROMISE AGREED TO,

Tho Durborow Hill with the Appropriation Itedueod to *(.»,fi00,000 Again L'ndcr CoiiHldcratlon—Fillbustorn ('miotic.

MAY 0F,T HAI.F.

Wapiiino ion, Aug. 5.—The deadlock —one of the most stubborn in tlio history of American congress—has been broken, anil there, is every probability that an out-and-out appropriation of f2,500,000 will be at the disposal of the world's fair managers by Saturday night and many of .them are sanguine that the last stage of legislation will be reached by to-night. Director General Davis pins his faith on to-day, for he says Friday has always brought good luck to the exposition. It was on a Friday that the house located the world's fair at Chicago. It was on another Friday that the senate confirmed this act. President Harrison put his signature to the bill on Friday, and on a subsequent Friday named tho national commission, who met a few weeks later on Friday. Columbus discovered America on Friday and the commemoration on October 21 next will bo on Friday. Col. Davis is confident that to-day will add anothor successful- Friday to the series.

The Compromise lilli.

The compromise world's fair bill which is now before the house is similar in terms to the bills reported to tlio senate and house by the committees on tho Columbian exposition and afterward Incorporated in the sundry civil appropriation bill, with two important changes. One of these Is the reduction of the amount of the appropriation from 35,000,000 to 82,500,000. The other is the omission of the section that provides for a return to the United States of a pro-rata share of the profits of the fair, so that as it now stands the appropriation will be an absolute donation. The Sunday closing paragraph is retained in the bilL

Suspended the Rule..

Speaker Crisp, immediately the jour nal had been read in the house, recognized Judge Catchings, who brought in a resolution from the rules com mlttee making the legislative day a suspension day, thus giving the speaker the power to entertain motions to suspend the rules, as on the first and third Mondays of the month. This done, Mr. Ilolman offered a resolution from the appropriations committee extending the operation of the old sundry olvil bill for six doj-e. The rosolutlon was almost unanimously adopted. Mr. Holtnan then moved a suspension of rules and the adoption of hla motion to reconsider the house voto on the $5,000,000 appropriation for the world's fair. The speaker declared tho rules suspended and a half hour's debate began.

Mr. Bingham (Pa.) started it by ask ing for an explanation of the intention of the democrats as decided upon In caucus. Mr. Reilly (Pa.) gave it to him by reading the published resolution adopted by the caucus nud explaining that in brief it meant the substitution of the Durborow bill for the senate world's fair amendment to the sundry civil bill, and provided for a vote not later than Saturday at 2 p. m.

Mr. Henderson (111.) wanted to know if it meant the adoption of the Pur borow bill, and upon Mr. McMillin (Tenn.) informing him that it simply meant a vote on the measure, and the Durborow bill could be amended, he exclaimed: "Then I characterize it as another invitation of the spider to tin fly." There was no doubt the opponents of the bill still hoped to beat it when it came to a vote, and it seemed as if tlie.v had decidedly the upper hand.

Mr. Williams (111.) assured Mr. Hen derson that the friends of tlic world' fair had no run sou to regret their agreement that .it had been adopted in good faith, anil that the bill would be brought to a vote.

Knocked Out the 85.000.000 Claude. A yea and nay vote was taken. All of the republicans and the following democrats voted against the Hoi man motion: Stout, Snow, Pel ton, McKuig, Miller, English, Babbitt. Messrs. Durborow and MeUann voted with the yeas. The TOsuit was 141 yeas to 50 nays, and the five million world's fair appropriation which the house had once adopted and which, but for the filibusters, the expo sition would have received, was elitn inated from the sundry civil bill.

Fighting far the Half Lour. Then tho flglit for the two and one half millions began. Mr. Rcllly (Pa. offered a resolution asking for the suspension ot the rules, the immediate consideration of the Durborow bill and a final vote not later than Friday 1 o'clock.

bill. It wu as amended by Mr. Durborow Wednesday evening, providing (2,500,000 a* a direct gift and for closing the fair on Sunday. The bill as amended meets with the approval of Senator Allison, and if unchanged and passed by th«s house the senate will undoubtedly adopt !t. It was resolved to have no general debate on the whole bill, ten minute speeches on tho various sections being substituted.

at

Mr. Bailey got oil his feet at once and Mr. McMillin was only a second later. They objected. But Reilly hadn't asked unanimous consent. Then they pleaded with him to permit a discussion of tho bill and refer the question of a vote to the house. At this there was derisive laughter. Mr. Durborow patted Reilly on the back and bi.de him stand firm. Reilly stood and a vote on suspending the rules was called for. One hundred anil sixty-three voted for tho motion and five against it.

Filibusters Defeated.

Mr. Bailey tried evory method knowu to the filibusters to prevent a vote on the motion providing for a final vote at 1 p. m. Friday, but each time was defeated, and the vote resulted

nayB. The clerk then

began to read the bill, but was in a short time Interrupted by Mr. McMillin, who deolared that tbe bill, being new, should bo considered in the committee of the whole. This offered a chance for Bailey to begin filibustering again. At last, however, realizing tho uselcssnoss of it, he ceased his efforto.

The clerk then finished reading the -TV.-.

Amendment. Voted On..

After some debate it was decided to vote on the amendments as they were offered instead of waiting till Friday. The chair ruled a number out of order, among them being Terry's substitute, which Terry announced he would reintroduce later. It gives the exposition power to purchase bullion and have it coined free of charge.

Mr. Holman offered an amendment providing for the expenditure of 8150,000 of tho 82,500,000 for exhibits showing the progress of the colored race, the Indians and industrial women of America. This was killed by a voto of 89 to 21, as was also an amendment offered by Mr. Pickler (S. D.), providing for the appropration of 85,000,000 instead of $3,600,000. He said he had traveled 1,004 miles to vote for tho appropriation and he denounced the action of the house as cowardly in succumbing to tho persistency of a half dozen filibusters.

Then Mr. Dlckcrson (Ky.), Senator Carlisle's successor, got up and moved to strike out section 1 because ho was opposed to tho government granting any monetary assistance to tho exposition. IIo wanted to test tho temper of the house. He got it by a vote of 70 nays to 10 yeas.

Mr. Breckinridge (Ark.) offered an amendment which threatened to give considerable trouble, as it raised the tariff issued between the two sides of the house. Breckinridge wanted the foreign exhibitors to label their goods with tho foreign' selling price without duty. This precipitated a tariff argument that led Mr. Buchanan (N. J.) to assert that if a tariff proviso was going into the bill the republicans would voto against the 52,500,000 compromise. The Breckinridge amendment was finally voted down.

The 1II11 Still Intact.

The house adjourned for the day after having voted down every one of the fifteen amendments, thus leaving the Durborow bill Intact It will again be assailed to-day noon, but the majority in favor of protecting it from barnacle amendments is so great that it will undoubtedly reach its final stage at 1 o'clock in Its original form. There is little doubt of its passage after the disposition shown by the house Thursday.

SHUT THE FAIR SUNDAY.

Ciithollo View of tho Matter—iieaolutloua in Favor of an Open Sunday Defeated In the Total Abstinence Union.

INDIANAPOLIS, lud., Aug. 5.—The Catholic Total Abstinenoe Union of America discussed tho closing of the world's fair on Sunday at Thursday's session. Among the resolutions offered by the committee on resolutions were the following: "Whereas, The laws ot Chicago permit tbe saloons to bo opon on Sunday and, wacr«»s, If the world'* fair be closed on that (lay the musses of tho people will thereby be oxposed to the mnnlfold evils resulting from drink we, thrrefore, protost against the closing of tho fair oa tho Lord's day, and recommend that tho exposition be thrown open to tho publlo, after the generally recognized time for Dlvlno servicos."

The resolution was discussed by nearly all the prominent priests present, and the resolutions were referred to tho committee for amendment. The committee did not waste any time with the world's fair resolution, but reported in a few minutes with It stricken out and a plain demand for the enforcement of laws substituted.

The following officers were clected Thursday afternoon: President, Bishop Joseph B. Cotter: vice presidents, Washington Logue, of Philadelphia, and Miss Mary L. Cramsie, of St. Paul treasurer, William McMahan, of Cleveland secretary, Philip A. Nolau, of Philadelphia.

Pit tsbukoh, Aug. .—Superintendent John A. Potter, of the Homestead mill, and his two assistants, Jamos Dovcy and Nevln McConnell, eharged with murder by Hugh Ross, of the strikers, were released on S10.000 ball each In a brief hearing before Judge Ewing at 10 a. m. Tho prosecution made no attempt toprevontthe release of the men on bail. A. W. and R. B. Mellon, bankers, signed the bonds. Judgo Ewing at first objected to these men slgniug all tho bonds, but he said he would accept their personal bond for forty times tho amount, without hesitation. On the application of Lawyer Knox the court instructed that Mr. Friek be admitted to 810,00 bail by the officers going to his house to secure liis signature. The Mellons also signed this bond. During the hearing in court G. A. Corey, assistant superintendent at Homestead, surrendered himself, waived a hearing and was also admitt.c-1 to 810,000 bail, which was furnished by the Mellon brothers.

This disposes of all the defendants except the Pinkertons, who hnve not yet been arrested. The Carnegie company officials plainly indicate that they oonsider their arrest as tho consummation of a threat that they would be arrested unless they agreed to arbitrate.

BRUTALLY SLAIN * * *

A Terrible Tragedy Reported from Fall River, Mass. * * *

A GRAY-HAIRED COUPLE MURDERED. * * *

Andrew J. Borden and His wife Butchered by an Unknown Villain in the Middle of the Day — The Whole Population Greatly Excited. * * *

MET A HORRIBLE FATE. * * *

FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 5. — Andrew J. Borden, a respected business man 68 years of age, and his wife, a most estimable lady of advanced years, were literally hacked to picees in their quiet home at 902 Second street just previous to the noon hour Thursday. It was a most brutal and shocking murder, and no crime in the annals of Massachusetts compares with it in fiendishness. The house is a two and one-half story structure, surrounded by a well-kept yard with a barn, and is located in a thickly-set-tled neighborhood. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Borden, an unmarried daughter Lizzie and a servant named Bridget Sullivan. Another unmarried daughter is away on a visit to relatives. Poison in the Food.

For some days past Mr. and Mrs. Borden and Miss Lizzie had been feeling poorly, and Wednesday or the day before they suspected their food was being tampered with and that they were suffering from poisoning. They had determined upon an analysis, according to the servant, but as far as can be ascertained were not in possession of any definite information which would confirm their suspicions. Wednesday afternoon Mr. Borden was so unwell that he did not attend a meeting of the Massasoit bank directors, as was his custom, and his friends inquired concerning his health. Thursday morning he felt better, and between 10 and 11 o'clock went down town and transacted some business in the First national bank. Thence he walked up North Main street and at 10:30 was seen standing on the corner of Anawan street, where he owns a handsome brick block. He gave orders to certain workmen and then crossed the street and walked directly home. When he entered his house the servant was in the kitchen and Miss Lizzie Borden was sleeping in her room upstairs.

Father and Mother Killed.

At 11:15 Miss Borden awoke and descended the stairs. She passed into the front sitting-room on the first floor and there, lying on a lounge, with his face toward the ceiling, was the body of her father. The head was covered with wounds from half an inch to 6 inches in length and the wall of the skull had been crushed in. One gaping cut extended from the forehead diagonally across the face to the shoulder blade and had evidently been inflicted by a butcher's cleaver or broad-ax. The unfortunate man's blood had flowed on to his shirt front and stained the pillow.

Mrs. Churchill, a neighbor, came in at this time to see Miss Borden, who retained remarkable self control. The two went to the mother's room in the northwest corner on the second floor, where, stretched in a sickening pool of blood, was the wife and mother. The body lay between the bed and a dressing case, and the skull had been battered in apparently by the same weapon which had been used on Mr. Borden, although the nature of the wounds suggested that the murderer had dealt his blows with the blunt edge.

Miss Borden swooned and Mrs. Churchill and the servant at once raised an alarm. A few moments later the most intense excitement prevailed, when it became known that, Andrew J. Borden had been murdered, though it was fully an hour before the details of the awful tragedy reached the public.

Little Known of the Crime. Business in the center of the city was practically suspended and men in all walks of life flocked to the scene. City Marshal Hilliard sent several officers to the house and they are working on the case at present, while all quarters of the town are being scoured. Dr. Bowen, who resides near the murdered man, was the first to enter the house after the crime was committed. He learned the following facts:

When Mr. Borden returned from the bank he removed his coat, put on thinner garment and sat down on the sofa to read a paper. The servant, Bridget Sullivan, passed through the room on her way upstairs to wash the windows. Observing Mr. Borden and remembering that he was not as well as usual she asked him how he was feeling. "No better or worse than yesterday," was the reply. Bridget passed Miss Borden on the stairs. The latter went out through the room in which her father was sitting, and entered the barn to get a piece of iron, with which she intended to mend a flower pot. She thinks she was not absent from the house more than five minutes. She, too, noticed that her father was occupied with a newspaper, and merely nodded to him. When she returned the frightful scene which has been described met her gaze. Dr. Bowen is positive that Mrs. Borden must have ontered the room where Mr. Borden sat just as the murderer finished his bloody work, and that the fiend chased her upstairs to her room, where he struck her down, as the blows were inflicted by a person who stood beside her.

Wealthy and Popular.

Mr. Borden was a courteous gentleman who amassed a fortune when a member of the firm of Borden & Almy, undertakers. He retired from business many years ago and invested largely in real estate. He was president of the Union savings bank, a director in the B. M. C. Durfee Safe Deposit and Trust Company and was interested in several manufacturing concerns of
