HOLDS ITS PLACE.

The Sliver Repeal Bill Keeps Its Position on the Calendar.

SHARP TACTICS OF ITS OPPONENTS.

Continued Tilk of CompromUa Mora Amendment* Offered—Another Long But rattle Hesslon ol the

Senate Held. '•••£•.

NOT DISPLACED.

WAIB1N0TQN, Oct. 13.—The Voorhees substitute lor "House bill No. 1," tor the repeal of the silver-purchasing section of the act of July 14, 1890, resumes its place aa the "unfinished business" in the ordinary daily routine of the senate. It will continue to occupy the position unless displaced by some other pressing measure or until some conclusion is reached by compromise or otherwise. It is not likely, however, that the vigilant friends of repeal will permit the measure to be sholved by indirection in this way, A formal vote to proceed to the consideration of some other measure would bring about a clearly defined t«st of strength between the friends and opponents of repeal, and this is just what the silver men in their six long weeks of labored discussion have deliberately and purposely avoided by all the resources of parliamentary ingenuity in which they have shown themselves suoh consummate masters.

Speakers In Reserve.

In dispassionately viewing the situation onlookers will not fail to notice that not one of the silver men who has spoken thus far hat| olosed his speech, each having indicated before temporarily yielding the floor that he would probably desire to resume his remarks at some future and more convenient time. The precautions thus far taken were adopted with the deliberate purpose of avoiding the effect of an old senate rule that no senator should speak more than once on the same subject. In addition to the senators who can take the floor to continue their remarks the silverites have in reserve Senator Jones (Ark.), and Senator Morgan (Ala.).

Compromise Propositions.

From this survey of the field and of the resources of the anti-repealers tlie inference is derived that a compromise of some kind is the only possible outcome. There area number of propositions for compromise legislation before the senate. Senator Blackburn (Ky.) has one which does not include any bond issue, and which, it has been broadly intimated, might be acceptable to the executive after all efforts at unconditional repeal had failed. Senator"Faulkner (W. Va.) has another proposition whicli contemplates the maintenance by the United States of a total circulation of $800,000,000 of silver (an amount about equal to that maintained by France). This proposed measure has met with considerable favor.

Won't Consent to Compromise* The president has not yet given his consent to any compromise, and the leaders of the repeal forces still say that they will not be a party to a compromise. Senator Harris (Tenn.) says he believes his party in the senate is able to devise a bill with sufficient unanimity to put it through as a party measure, Senators Pugh (Ala.) and Jone6 (Ark.), leading silver men, talked in the same strain. The repeal leaders are, apparently, as determined as ever to go forward with the bill unamended.

Hti BorrowneU No Moncj. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. The senate met as usual at 12 a. m. and apparently with more than a quorum of senators present A communication from the secretary of the treasury was presented in response to Senator Allen's (pop, Neb.) resolution inquiring as to moneys borrowed by the government since March, 1885. The answer is that no money has been borrowed.

Store Amendments Offered. Senator Allen gave notice of an amendment for the free coinage of silver. Senator Vest (dem., Mo.) gave notice of an amendment to the silver purchase repeal bill. It consisted of seven sections, of which the following is a synopsis:

The first provides lor the repeal of the purchasing clauso of the Sherman aoL it authorizes the Issue of coin certificates for tho uncoined bullion consisting of seigniorage on the silver heretoforo purchased. It provldos for the coinage of sliver that may bo deposited by Its owners and that Is the product of the United States mines, at the rate of M,000,000 a month, up to the limit of 1800,000,000. This coinage Is to be fairly proportioned among the silver-producing states and territories. Holders of standard silver dollars may have them exchanged Into sertlfloates. Authority Is to be given the secretary of the treasury to refuse paymoiit in gold "on any obligations of the United States" when he is satisfied that the gold is applied for with a vlow to exportation. A Joint committee of the two bouses is to examine Into the financial condition of the government and peoplo of the United States. The 10 per cent tax on state intnlis Is to be repealed.

Stewart Resumes*

At 11:30 a. m. Senator Voorhees made the usual motion that the senate take up the silver purchase repeal bill. It was taken up, and Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) took up his speech at the point where he left off Thursday.

PaolHo Railway Investigation. At 2 p. m. Senator Stewart yielded the floor temporarily to Senator Manderson (rep., Neb.), who offered a resolution instructing the committee on Pacific railroads to investigate and report whether* the Union Pacific railroad had passed into the hauds of a receiver, and if so by what action and under what circumstances, and what steps if any are necessary to protect the interest of the United States and secure the indebtedness due the government. After some discussion the resolution went over.

Another Late Nesslon.

Senator Stewart resumed his speech and continued until 8 p. m., when Senator Pcffer (pop., Kan.) took the floor. The senator waa interrupted at 10:30 by a call ot the yeas and nays on an unimportant amendment. Thirtyseven senators voted, tho silver men refusing to answer to their names, and at 11:S0 the senate adjourned.

WE KEEP THE CUP.

The Valkyrie Loses tho Final Raoe in the Contest.

THE VIGILANT BARELY TRIUMPHS.

She Crosses the Line Abont Forty Seconds In Advance of Uer fingllsh Rival— The Most Kioltlng Yacht

Race In Years.

WOK THE GREAT TROPHY

NEW YORK, Oct 14.—For the third time the Vigilant has passed the Valkyrie and the America's cup will stay in this country another year. With plenty of wind, with a splendid sea and an almost ideal day for yachting the beautiful white boat passed'the line, and amid the blowing of whistles, the cheering of men and while women waved their handkerchiefs the flagship May hoisted,the colors of the Vigilant

Vallcyrle Takes the Lead.

The course was 16 miles to windward and return. Tho Vigilant was first on the ground, and soon tho Valkyrie came down in tow of her tug. After some preliminary maneuvering the gun from the flagship declared the third and

'*4 I

AMERICA'S CL'P.

last race had begun for the cup. The yachts made a short board on the starboard tack, but, changing soon, took a long run to port Apparently their positions did not change. The Valkyrie kept her lead and if anything increased it. At 1:12 the Valkyrie came about and made a short board to the starboard, the Vigilant following her closely. Then again to port both boats turned, while the friends of the Vigilant declared she pointed a little closer to the wind than her rival.

An Exciting Raoe.

The Valkyrie turned the stake with its red flag at 2:83^ and the Vigilant followed at 2:35. Apparently the lead of one and one-half minutes at the first had not been changed. As she swept by the waiting steamers the Valkyrie at 2:80 set her silk spinnaker, which glistened like a sheet of silver in the wind. In two minutes the sheets were home and the great s*il was pulling and tugging like a live thing. The effect was apparent immediately. The Valkyrie drew away from 'her rival as though the latter were tired out but the sheets of the Vigilant went home and she, too, leaped forward. Then the Valkyrie doused her jib and forestay and set a balloon staysail in place. The Vigilant hauled her balloon jib slowly up to the topmast head and set it. She seemed to fairly jump in the water. From that time on it was a foregone conclusion that the Valkyrie would be beaten again. As the white boat drew up behind she blanketed her rival and the silk spinnaker fell in graceful folds for a time. It was not long, however, before the Vigilant had made a cast to the south sufficint to enable her to pass, and the

Valkyrie's sails filled once more. The estimated three quarter mile between the boats fell rapidly, and at 2:30 the end of the bowsprit of the Vigilant was in line with the Valkyrie's stern.

Fatal Mlalinp to the English Yacht. At 8:30 it had reached her bowsprit head, and at 8:82 a line of open water appeared between the two—this time the Vigilant in the lead. How the whistles screamed and tho people applauded! Suddenly at 3:34 the men on the Valkyrie were seen running to and fro, and then a glance showed the silk spinnaker had been split in two flapping ribbons. Down it came by the run, and in a few seconds a new one was in place and was being hauled up and sheeted home. The work of the crew was so quick that at 3:35% the new sail was in place and drawing to the full. Short as the delay was, it is to be feared it lost the Valkyrie the race, for the two boats were very close. Meantime the Vigilant was driving ahead, the distance between herself and her rival gradually widening. She was a picture as she tore along under mainsail, gaff topsail, spinnaker and balloon jib, every thread drawing and the yacht waving her tall masts slightly from side to side.

The finish.

A flash from the flagship May as the Vigilant passed the line between herself and the lightship was echoed and prolonged by all the whistles in the fleet The cheering filled the air even the wind, strong as it was, could not blow this away, ft was a magnificent race, the finest seen in years. It is impossible to say, with this reoord, which is the better boat in such a wind as that of Friday. Forty seconds on a beat to windward ol 15 miles and return is so close that the splitting of the Valkyrie's spinnaker might easily account for it The official lime at which the two yachts passed the finish line was: Valkyrie, 3:53:52 Vigilant, 3:51:39 Vigilant ^winning by 40 seconds.

CKl'SIJKD IN A WltKl'K.

JACKSON, Mich., Oct. 14.—Two excursion trains came together in a rear-ond collision near the Michigan Central station here at 0:40 a.m,, killing twelve and injuring twenty-throeporsons. The colliding trains were the first and second sections of tho New York Central special da3'-coach excursions to Chicago, carrying people to the world's fair The first section had stopped at Jackson for breakfast and had just started to pull out when tho second section, traveling at a rate of 40 miles an hour, dashed past the semaphore and crashed into the rear end of the train ahead. The heavy locomotive plowed its way under and through the passenger coaches, smashing them into bits and throwing the fragments high into the air. The trains were crowded with passengers and the engine did fatal work as it tore through the cars. A complete list of the dead follows:

Wakefield, Elmlra, N Y., slightly hurt: William Whuleu, Jackson, Mich., ankle broken and injured internally.

Cause of the Accident.

The cause of tho accident is thought to have been the failure of the air brakes on the second section. The engineer says that when he passed the semaphore he tried to stop the train, but found the 'brakes would not work, lie and the fireman saved their lives by jumping, but both were hurt The collision occurred about 100 yards east of the station. The first section had been standing twenty-six minutes, the passengers had taken breakfast and the train ivas just starting on its journey. Suddenly the people around the station were astonished to hear the roar of the second section as it came thundering down the track, and were horrified to see it a moment later strike tho rear coach of the first section with terrific force. The oncoming engine drove its pilot beneath the first car it struck, lifting the couch ulinost on end, and in a position whore it was most easily riven by the head of the boiler as the machine kept right on, its progress seemingly only temporarily staid by the impact on the coach. The fate of the lasL coach on the train was shared by eight others. Tho big engine of tho second tore through them. Some of the cars were turned quite over by the force of the shock. One car "telescoped" another so completely that the wreckage looked like but a single coach.

TtiMllg Out tho llodies.

It was in this train that the casualties occurred. The terrible force of the collision threw some of the passengers out of the wrecked clinches to the side of the track, where they lay dead or suffering. Almost before the trains had come to a standstill the work of rescue had been commenced. The men who were congregated near the station and had witnessed the accident rushed to the relief of the injured. Within twenty minutes six dead bodies had been removed from the wreck. A score more of wounded were tenderly lifted'from the ruins and carried to tho nearest houses or hotels. The dead were taken to.the morgue. Carriagesandomnibuseb from tliu station were pressed into service as ambulances. Physicians were summoned in haste, and the best aid possible under the circumstanccs was given to tho injured.

First Nrctlon Demolished.

The first section was ripped open from the last coach to the baggage-car. One of the curs near the forward end of the train was knocked from the trucks and thrown directly across the tracks. Another car was driven squarely into that ahead of it, pinning the passengers to their seats and killing many of them. The passengers were jammed into all sorts of positions by the crashing timbers. Some were thrown to the floor and held down by the seats falling on them. Others were fastened in the scats or chairs by the framework of tile ear being smashed down about them. There were many narrow escapes. Men and women were taken out unhurt, often

lying* for an hour beneath a muss of splintered wood that had to be chopped to pieces before they could be relented. It took almost two hours to remove all the victims. When the list was made up it was found that there wore seventeen dead and fifty-two injured.

Hie engine of the second section was but a heap of scrap iron a minute nfier the collision. As it plowed it* way through the fated train ahead all the gearing was torn from it. Wheels were broken, driving bars bent like pins and the heavy machinery beneath the boiler was twisted out of shape. The cab waa reduced to matchwood and scraps •Engineer's 8tory. 1 he first section of the excursion train was called the "Oswego" and the last section the ''Webb" special. Engineer Hill Whalcn, who lives here, was running the last section. He says: "I saw the signal in the yard to keep back, and had my engine in hand, as I thought, butwhen I came down near the train, which was still, my air-brake would not work, and I ran into the coaches. The failure of the air made it impossible to stop. I never had such an experience before." Mr. Whulcn is badly burned, and has one leg broken but he will live.

Awfully Mangled.

The fearful effect of the collision and the awful force with which the trains ciime together is demonstrated in horrible manner by the mangled remains of the dead as they lie at the morgue. Almost every corpse is frightfully disfigured and many of them would be utterly beyond recognition were it not for cards, letters or other means of identification found on their persons.

Most llorrlblu Incident-

One of the most horrible sights around the wreck was a woman earning a woman's head, bloody and disfigured, through the crowd. She held the head by the hair, and now and then would hold it up, look lovingly at it, speak to it tenderly and kiss it. Then she would show it to the horror-stricken spectators. Slio laughed and cried by turns, and was plainly a raving maniac, made so by the discovery of the fearful death of the person whose grisly relic she carried. She was taken to the police station with the head, which she would not relinquish.

Misery and Confusion.

The ears were wrecked almost at the edge of the station platform and in the very heart of the railroad yards. Many people were standing on the platform or walking through the yards and saw the slaughter. Within a moment after the engine plunged through the coaches the whole region about the station was in an uproar and frenzy. The wreck itself lay in a tangled mass. The screams and groans of the victims filled the air. .Sane people crawling from the debris ran away as if crazy. llodies were lying on top of the timbers and muffled calls for help could be heard from beneath the great mound of ruins.

The scenes of the next hour are of the kind which can hardly lie told. On a little grass plat near the depot the men working in the rubbish had soon placed a row of twisted and bioodv corpses. Every room near at hand and all the station rooms were hospitals. The women who- were not badly hurt sobbed and shrieked. Men and women were minning about through the gathering crowd shouting for some missing friond. Around the wreck were hats, valises cuffs and various articles of clothing, most of them dirty and blood Btained. llodies were being carried to wagons and hurried away to the morgue. The injured were being taken to the hospital and the hotels.

Ills Wife's lloftfl ut Off.

One of the ghastly phases of tho accident was the decapitation of Mrs. D. 7A. Uibbs. She W:LH accompanied by her husband, who was out of the car at the time of the collision. She was not identified until night. Mrs. Uibbs' husband was one of the active searchers for the dead, but did nut recognize her when sho was taken from the wreck, lie made a trip through the different undertaking establishments and was horrified to find his wife among the dead. Mrs. (iibbs was caught between two short pieces of timbers in a car seat.
