HILL AS A LEADER.

Ha Takes Charge of the Administration Foro*s In the Senate.

PLANNING TO FORCE A VOTE AT ONCE

AdvooitM of Silver Compromise Are Confident That They Can 1'revent tli. Mucosas «f the New York

Senator's Movement.

TO FORCE A VOTE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80.—The supreme hour of the ailver struggle is near at hand. Senator Hill (dem., N. Y.) at the head of forty-nine senators democrats and republicans, will to-day make the decisive movement of the contest. Speaking for these forty-nine men, constituting six more than a quorum of the senate, he will ask that the vice president take cognizance of the fact that tho present action of the minority ia for dilatory purposes that under such circumstances it is the duty of the vice president to cut off further dilatory proceedings and recognize a motion for an immediate change of the rules by which the repeal bill can be brought to a vote at once.

Senator Hill and those who are cooperating with him are confident that the vice-president cannot and will not rule against this demand of the majority of the senate. If he does, an appeal will be taken from his ruling and the majority of forty-nine senators will reverse the action of the vice-president, and thus compel the execution of the plans for an immediate vote.

Gorman Against tlie Plan.

While the plans for the coming stroke were being matured on the floor of the senate and in the secret conferences, Senators Gorman, Cockrell Faulkner and a few others who are known to favor a compromise measure, were making a desperate effort to head off the Hill movement. They were together in Gorman's oommitteeroom throughout the day trying to effect a compromise which would draw sufficient strength away from Hill's followers to make the movement a failure. As a result of the conference there were renewed talks of a compromise. There are many who insist that compromise will even yet succeed and that the decisive movement of the majority under Hill will fall apart before its execution.

Proponed Compromise Bill. The bill being proposed by the democratic steering committee provides for the repeal of the Sherman law, but removes the date at which the repeal will take effect to the 1st of .lanuary or the 1st of July, 1805 it retires the treasury notes below 85 or 810 it coins *54,000,000 of silver seigniorage now on hand it makes the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month mandatory. The proposed law will add about ?ISO,000,000 to the silver circulation, counting the seigniorage and supposing that it will cease its operations January 1, 1895, and some think it will be unnecessary to do anything at all about bonds.

Stewart Opposes a Chance In Rules. When the senate entered upon the third division of the legislative day of Tuesday, at the expiration of the recess at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, less than 4 dozen senators were present Exactly half an hour was consumed in securing a quorum. Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) took the floor on the mo'tion to amend the journal of Monday last, so as to show the presence of Senator Teller, when he failed to answer to his name on rollcall. He aigued against a change in the senate's rules. Senator Stewart said the appeal to the vice president to make himself infamous throughout all ages was most outrageous. He was an

American and would not lay his hand upon the constitution and laws of the country. The rules of the senate were made for occasions like the present, to protect the minority, and they would protect the minority.

Senator Dubois (rep., Idaho), with regard to the criticism of himself for not voting, declared that if the repeal was to be pushed through he himself would stand expulsion rather than yield to compulsory measures to compel him to vote.

Senator Quay (rep., Pa.) gave notice of an amendment to the repeal bill providing that the act shall take effect on January 1, 1890.

InTltod Hill to fight.

Senator Butler (dem., 8. C.), made an impassioned argument against the proposition of the senator from New York (Senator Hill) and the senator from Texas (Senator Mills). He sent a cross-fire of questions at Senator Hill having a tendency to make him (Hill) disclose the details of the proposed movement. Senator Hill 'was ready with responses, but not with detailed admissions.

Senator Hill's incisive answers and keen repartee were frequently interrupted by applause, and one excited man in the gallery threatened to create a scene by shouting his approval and calling for cheers for the New York senator. Such a scene has never before occurred in the senate chamber.

Senator Butler, who still had control of the floor, was stung to an angry protest. which for a moment threatened to precipitate a personal conflict between him and Senator Hill. In an angrv tone Senator Butler declared that it wa* in keeping with Senator Hill's past reputation for him to pack the galleries of the senate in order to gain the applause of the crowd. "But," added Senator Butler, turning on Senator Hill and shaking his clinched fist at him, "if the senator from New York believes in this sort of thing let us both go to the nearest street-corner and there have it out."

Butler Apologizes.

There was a hush in the senate for a minute. There was no misunderstanding Senator Butler's words. Senator Manderson (rep., Neb.) was quickly on his feet. He demanded that the words of Senator Butler be taken down and read from the clerk's desk. Such a proceeding is a rebuke seldom resorted to against a senator. The words of Senator Butler were slowly read by the

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

clerk. There was a wait of a moment, during which the excited crowd in the galleries expected to hear Senator Manderson ask that the ser-geant^at-arms escort Senator Butler to the bar of the senate for a public reproval by the presiding officer. But liaveing secured the reading of the language, Senator Manderson suggested that Senator Butler himself would see the impropriety of it, and would undoubtedly withdraw it- Senator Butler was quick to follow the suggestion by making an apology to the senate and to Senator Hill, in which he explained that the language was used in a "Pickwickian sense."

Withdrew the motion.

Senator Butler closed with an appeal for a compromise and Senator l'almer Idem., 111.) was about to address the senate when Senator Teller withdrew his motion to amend the journal, disposing of the question pending before the senate.

The journal was approved and the repeal bill was then taken up, for the first time since Monday.

Senator I'effer (pop., Kan.) then resumed hisspeech against the bill, begun on Friday.

At 5:05 o'clock the Bonate on motion of Senator Voorhees took a recess until 10 o'clock this morning.

ON RECORD.

Ilankora at Chicago Demand Repeal of the Sherman Lair. CHICAGO, Oct 20.—Over I(00 delegates took part in the deliberations of the American Bankers' association at the A-t palace, and there were a large number of visiting bankers also in attendance.

E. H. Pullen, from the executive council, reported the action of the committee advising the adoption of a resolution putting the association on record in strong terms demanding the immediate and unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver bill. The suggestion of the committee was put into effect at once and the remarks of Mr. Pullen were adopted as the sense of the convention and ordered embodied in the form of a resolution to be forwarded to congress.

Hon. Joseph C. Hendrix, of NewYork, drew a vivid picture of the rush of British capital to Australia and the collapse which followed the. period of "financial intoxication," in an interesting paper on "The Panic in Australia and the United States." Mr. Hendrix spoke strongly of the necessity of sound currency and banking laws, which would give the banks a chance to protect themselves and the people from strangulation in case of panic. "In the struggle for life no man wants his hands tied or feet bound. In dealing with panics no banking system should find itself so tied up that it cannot be free to act in self-defense."

Horace White, editor of the New York Evening Post treated at considerable length and in an interesting manner the subject of an "Elastic Currency." His address was well received. It showed close study of the financial question, and was an admirable one in every way.

Prof. Sidney Sherwood, of Johns Hopkins' university, spoke on "The American Bankers' Association Its Origin, Its Work and Its Prospects." Mr. Sherwood's address was mainly historical and reviewed the work of the organization.

E. O. Leech, ex-director of the United States mint, was received with applause when introduced. He read an abje paper on "The Silver Question as Related to the Appreciation of Gold," which commanded the closest attention of the convention. Mr. Leech blamed the white metal for the recent financial troubles.

M. M. White, president of the Fourth national bank of Cincinnati, was elected president of the association and John J. P. Odell, president of the Union national bank of Chicago, first vice president. Vacancies on the executive council were filled and a vice president from each state chosen.

A resolution of thanks to the people of Chicago for their hospitality to the visiting bankers was adopted: also a resolution thanking the bankers of New York for their skillful exertions during the last six months in upholding the credit of America. The convention then adjourned.

Fast Mail on the Illinois Central Wrecked at Otto, 111.

SEVEN LIVES ARE REPORTED LOST.

Information on Thl* I'olut. Ilnvver, IIM* Not Item (.'onliriutMl —T«*n l'cr*oiia IriJurmt The rannnger (tun hy a Coal Train.

KANKAKEE, III., Oct. -JO.—Seven killed and more, than teu severely wounded is the report from the wreck to the fust mail train of the Illinois Central, bound for Chicago, at Otto Junction about midnight The report cannot be substantiated as yet on account of the. extremely poor service at that point, and the general ignorance of the I Hi nois Central officials as to the exact results,5f the accident. Enough is known, however, to call for the services of all the physicians that could be obtained In the city to go to the wreck at once.

The Victims.

The names of none of those said to have been killed have yet been ascertained. A partial list of the injured is as follows:

Mrs. K. K. Slayton, Wichita Kails, Tex., side aud hip hurt: Mrs. C. K. Brown, Newton, 11L, hip anil ankle dislocated J. W. Ilrowu, baggageman. Chicago, foot mashed: M. Marley, Piano, 111., lower limbs badly injured: S. H. Sailer, Fisher, 111., internal Injuries: Mrs. C. E. Little, Ml Ashland avenue, Chicago, back and hips injured badly: J. D. Davis. Flipper, Ga.. head uud side Injured.

Story of the Wreck.

The wrecked train is known as No. '2. It is a fast train, making but few stops. When it left New Orleans it was made up of seven coaches, with a baggage and express car. Conductor Gutshall and Engineer Smith were in charge. The limited was on time when it reached Otto. The engineer, looking ahead, saw that a heavilyloaded Bloomingt.on district coal train was going fast in the same direction, but the signals gave him a clear track and he went ahead. Just as the limited reached the junction switch it was run into by the coal train. The engine of the coal train struok the limited just back of the engine and ditched the entire train of oars. There were several heavy sleepers in the train and these ground the day coaches ahead to pieces.

Work of the Rescuers.

The wrecked cars were crowded with people and the work of rescue was hindered by the darkness and by the necessity of fighting small fires which started in the wreck Eight seriously injured persons were taken out before the cries of the wounded ceased. Then the work had to be stopped, as there was danger of the piled up cars toppling over on the workers. The wrecking train was telegraphed for from Chicago and was sent at once. Nothing more could be doue without machinery. Traffic was blocked on the road and it was said that the work of searching the wreck would take five hours after the wrecking train had arrived..':

A Misplaced .Switch.

The wreck was probably caused by a misplaced switch which allowed the fast train to run on the wrong track. The double track svsteiu of the Illinois Central begins at Otto and extends from there to Chicago with the exception of the Kankakee bridge and a small distance between here and Monee.

Responsibility Divided.

It is not known whose fault the accident was, but it would appear to be carelessness on the part of both train orews and the flagman, as the country in the vicinity is level and clear of any obstructions, giving a full view of both tracks for several miles.

MUST CLEAR THE PARK.

CuiMiuisftioncrA Set Donn on tho I'lnti for a Fair Next Your. CHICAGO, Oct 20.—There will be neither a world's fair nor an American fair in Jackson Parle next summer. The exposition will not be prolonged another year. All doubt about it was settled Thursday night at a meeting between the members of the demolition committee of the exposition and tlio South Park board of commissioners. They agreed that the fair should officially end October 30.

The members of the South park board announced that they would insist upon the exposition company carrying out the terms of its ordinance. These are that the park commissioners take charge of the grounds January 1, 1894. The directors are given until May of the same year to clear off the state and foreign buildings in the north end of the park, and until May, 1805, to remove the main structures on the south end of the grounds. For non-compliance with these conditions the exposition company lays itself liable to a forfeit of a bond of 1100.000.

Foreign exhibitors will move homeward in a great army immediately upon the expiration of the term set by congress for the exposit ion. The consensus of opinion among them, as shown by interviews,, is against any continuation of the fair. No benefit, they unanimously declare, could aeruc to them by an extension of the fair. There are a few foreign exhibitors who have entered into agreements to transfer their exhibits to thu California mid-winter exposition. These may be kept in Chicago for a short time. October 31 will in al 1 probability see the exhibit buildings a chaos of packing cases.

Treasury Short of Legal Tender. NEW YOHK, Oct 20.—A prominent member of the clearing house said in relation to the daily decrease of cash in the United States treasury, that he with several other clearing house banks was willing to let the government have 110,000,000 or $15,000,000 of gold in exchange for legal tender notes, so the treasury's stock of cash might be replenished, but the trouble was that the treasury has not got the legal tender notes to exchange for the gold.

Gold from San Franclnco.

NEW YOIIK, Oct 20.—Five million dollars in gold coin were received at the subtreasury Thursday from San Francisco. it was brought by Weils, Fargo & Co. and was delivered at the subtreasury between 11 and 12 a.m. Unusual care was taken to keep secret the fact of the shipment, and the express company declined even to state by what route the prccious load had bceu brought to this city.
