THE BATTLE ENDS.

Advooataa of SUrer in th* Senate Surrender.

THEY WILL NO LONGER DELAY VOTE.

Without Farther Atltaft at Obstruction the Voorhees BUI for Unconditional Repeal Will Bo Patted—Story of the Surrender.

STOPPED THE FIGHT.

WAMIHOTOS, Oct* 85 —At 12:86 p. m. Tuesday Senator Harris (dem., Tenn.), acting for the silver democrats, informed the silver republicans that the democrats, after taking- all the circumstances into consideration, had decided that their best course was to drop !.e fight against the repeal bill and allow it to come to a vote. If this decision is not reconsidered— and it does not seem at all probable that it will be—the end of the present tight will soon be reached, and the result will be in accordance with the wishes of the president and the repeal forces in the senate.

A* Authorised Statom.nt.

During the afternoon Senators Voorhees, Harris, Aldrich and Dubois, representing the two faotlons in each party, authorized the statement that the vote will be taken on unconditional repeal at the earliest possible moment This is understood to mean as soon as the silver republican senators have conoluded their speeches—a matter of a few hours or perhaps a day or two. Senators Jones, Teller and Stewart will finish the speeches they have left uncompleted, and it is not improbable that one or two others may be made. The belief is that but little will be said by the silver democrats. A quiet canvass was made to ascertain how long it would take for the delivery of the remainder of these speeches, and from that inquiry grows the opinion that the votes on the amendments will be taken by Friday. The vote on the bill itself will probably not be taken until Saturday, unless there should be an unexpected disposition manifested not to ooninma any more time in debate.

Tha Voorha«a BI1L

Following is a full text of the Voorhees bill, which will bo substituted in the senate for the house bill: "That so muoh of the aot approved July H, 1890, entitled 'An aot dir.cting the purchase of silver bullloa and issue ef treasury notes thereon, and for otker purposes,' as direct, the secretary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion In the aggregate amount of 4.IW0.000 ounoes, or as much thereof as may be offered In each month at the market prioe thereof, not exceeding (1 for 8T1.36 grains of pure silver, and to issue In payment for aueh purchase treasury notes of the United States, be and the same Is hereby repealed. "And It is hereby deolarnd to be the poltoy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as standard money, and to ools both gold and silver Into money of equal intrinsic exchangeable value, such equality to be scoured through International agreemont er by such safeguards of legislation as will Insure the maintenance of parity In value ol the coins of the two metals and the equal puwer of every dollar at all times in the markets and ln^the payment of debts. And It Is hereby further declared that the efforts of the government should be steadily directed to the establishment of such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar oolaed er Issued by the United States In the markets and In the payments of debts."

Amendments to Be Toted On. Thers ars twenty-seven amendments to the bill. When the voting begins the first question will be on one of the many amendments. The main amendment is that of Senator Vest, for free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. It was introduced by Senator Vest as embodying the views of the silver minority of the committee on finance. There are also amendments by Senators Faulkner, Peffer, Call, Vance, Blackburn, and. Indeed, by almost every man on the democratic side. Some of the senators have two or three amendments pending. These amendments embody every phase of silver and antisilver legislation. If a yea and nay vote is insisted upon on each of these amendments muoh time will be consumed in disposing of them. There is every probability, however, that a test vote on one of the amendments will satisfy the silver men, and that after that the amendments will be rapidly disposed of, one after another, by a viva voce vote. Then the question will recur on the Voorhees bill. This will be passed by a vote of 48 to 87, If the silver democrats go on record as opposed to the administration measure. If, however, their surrender goes to the extent of voting for the bill it will carry by an overwhelming majority. In that event the only vote against the bill will come from the little band of 6llver stalwarts representing the mining states. The republicans, with the exception of Senators Stewart, Teller and other silver radicals, will vote solidly for the administration measure.

The House WUI Not Delay. With the bill passed by the senate there will bo short work made of in the house. Speaker Crisp has given assurances that there need be no fear of delay. The Voorhees bill will have to go to the house, as it differs materially from the Wilson bill passed by the house last August The repeal element in the house is ready to vote for the Voorhees bill, as it embodies the latest views of the administration. There IB the possibility, of course, that Mr. Bland and his silver followers in the house will attempt to filibuster or otherwise delay the measure. This is not probable, however, as Mr. Bland recognises the futility of such opposition.

Tho Prmiid.it Ja Much Gratified. President Cleveland Is muoh gratified at the outcome of the prolonged fight To one of his cabinet ministers the president said it was a great relief to him to feel that the senate was about to do its plain duty. The result, Mr. Cleveland said, was no surprise to him. He had not soon a moment since he called congress together when there was the •lightest doubt in his mind as to Its ultimate outcome. The president said h* had never seriously considered any of these propositions, nor had he at any time consented to compromise of any sort. The president was at the whits

house when the news of the final agreement between the warring factions of the democratic party in the senate reached him. He made no comment whatever.

Storv of the Straggle.

The surrender of Tuesday came on the scventy-slzth day of the struggle. The Voorhees bill was not reported to the senate until August SO, so that the main debate on this bill covers only fifty-five days. But the senate was discussing the silver question long before the Voorhees bill was reported. Indeed, the speeches began in the senate while the Wilson measure twss pending in the house. Tlie first reference to silver in the senate was on August 9, when Senator Lodge introduced a resolution to vote for unconditional repeal. This excited a lively debate which was kept up from time to time for a week. Then the senators begun delivering set speeches, although the Voorhees bill had not yet been reported. Tho actual beginning of the struggle, therefore, dates back to the day of the Lodge resolution, on August 8, and the intervening time is exactly seventy-six days. Not only in time consumed, but in stirring incidents, thecontest has been, memorable. On September 3 Senator Voorhees made his first demand for a vote, and ever sincc that time he has been trying to get a vote. On October 11 Senator Voorhees attempted to keep the senate in session night and day until a vote was reached. This text of physical endurance lasted throughout Wednesday night, Thursday night and until 1:45 o'clock Friday morning. Ootober 13, covering a period of forty hours. Altogether the contest has been the most memorable in the congressional history ofjthe last decade.

Congress May Moon Adjourn. Senator Faulkner, who has acted as Senator Voorhees' principal aid in the long battle which has alqiost closed said, when spoken to upon the subject, that he believed adjournment would soon follow. He said: "There is nothing to bo gained by remaining here now. There Is no legislation pressing. The ways and means commutes of the house will not complete Us labois upon the turiff bill and have It In shape for presentstlon to the house before the 20th of November, if then. I think oongress might as well adjourn and 1st that (ummlttee conltnue Its work. Most of the senators oame here expeotlng to remain only two or thi\ weeks, leaving their affairs at home in a bad oonditlon. Naturally they wtsh to return and have a few weeks to put things In order before taking up the work of the regular session. It would be hard work to hold a quorum. Consequently 1 think we shall adjourn soon."

The leaders of the democratic party, upon whom the decision will largely rest, were .not quite so confident of adjournment. Senator Harris said there was a great deal for congress to do, and he did not see why it should not proceed with the work without interruption. Senators Voorhees and Gorman refused to discuss the question at all, saying it had not been canvassed.

Lots of Financial Legislation. Senator Sherman told a reporter that he was contemplating the introduction of a bond bill, and that It would probably incidentally make some provision for the use of silver. Many other senators have financial bills in contemplation. The outlook is indeed good that the regular session will be flooded with financial bills, and no one need be surprised if the Fifty-third congress should davelop a record of financial discussion almost as important as the one aow closing.

Wall Street Affected.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—The uews of the surrender of the silver men in the senate was received in Wall street about

'2

o'clock Tuesday. The reported surrender of the silver democrats gave material assistance to the upward move ment in stocks. The prospect of an immediate vote on the repeal bill was hailed with universal satisfaction, and had it not come at a time when the market was dominated by special controlling influences it would hare had a more marked Influence on the dealings. But the bull movement in coal stocks held the attention in large measure, and a somewhat wild effort to run up sugar on the strength of the news proved disastrous to those who engineered it and caused a bad break from the top figures at the close. The general feeling is that the situation at Washington is clearing and that the effect on speculative values will be excellent.

Tuesday's Proceedings.

The proceedings in the senate on Tuesday were uninteresting. Senator Stewart (rep.. Nov.) resumed his speech against the repeal bill, yielding the floor at 1:80 p. m., to Serntor Jones (rep., Nev.), without conoluding his remarks, however. Senator ones argued against repeal until 4 p. m. He then, with the announcement that l*e would resume his remarks at some other time, yielded to Senator Stewart. Senator Faulkner (dem., Va.) moved to take a recess until 11 a. m. to-day, and the motion was carried.

WILL STAY IN MIDWAY.

Tho Famous Ferris Wheel Will Not Bo Moved. CHICAGO, Oct. 3. —Whatever may be the fate of other features of the world's fair the Ferris wheel will turn on its axis for some time to come. It will not be moved to Coney Island or elsewhere. It will remain in Midway Plalsance. This conclusion has been reached by the executive officers of the company andi is final. The company has the right to its present position on Midway until May 1, 1894, and there it will remain. Before the expiration of that time arrangements will probably be Madefor a contract with tne parkcommlsslonera for the right to the position.

Harder and Suicide.

CHICAOO, Oct 25.—Frank Hubert, until recently an employe in Mueller's restaurant at 845 State street, shot his fiancee, Pauline Thorman, a cook in the same establishment, and then blew off the top of his head with the same pistol. Pauline ia at the

German hospital,

where she will probably die, and Hubert's body is on a slab at the morgue. Hilbert wan out of work and wanted money from his sweetheart with which to buy liquor. Tlfe tragedy was oaused kjr her refusal to give it to him.

END OnrHE FAIR.

It Will Positively TMto Place October 31.

FINAL DECISION OF THE DIRECTORS.

Visitor* After That Date Will See Only Destruction of tlie Magnificent Buildings—Great Programme for Closing Day.

TITE EXU 10 SEAR.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.V--The World's Columbian exposition will go out of existence in a blaze of glory. The programme for closing dav has been reported to the joint committee on ceremonies, and with a few additional suggestions was adopted. The ceremony will begin at sunrise and conclude at .night with a grand pyrotccliuical display, the like of which has never before been undertaken. During the hours intervening an elaborate programme worthy of the occasion will be executed aud tho day will go down in history as Columbus day.

Columliui Will l.rtncl Again. At sunrise the national salute will be fired on the lake front, awakening the eity on the last day of U.ic fair. Again at noon the same guns will boom a greeting, and at sunset for the third time the salute will be fired. The next event on the programme will be the landing of the great discoverer, Christopher Columbus. Standing on the bow of the Santa .Maria he will hail the new land. vYhere he will make the lauding is not yet decided upon, but it will be where .the greatest number of people can see. This spectacular event will he followed by the departure of the caravels for Spain, a period of years being supposed to elapse between the two events.

Da.vilgiit Fir.work*.

While this sight is being witnessed by thousands of persons on the lake front preparations for the daylight fireworks will be in progress near by. The display will be seen between 12 and I o'clock, but the details have not been learned. It will be something new and will be one of the attractions of the day.

Firing the Far.wftll Salute. At 2:80 o'clock, however, the event of the day will take place when tha man who made the exposition will close it The ceremony will take place in Festival liall. The lime will ba to arranged that the exercises will be over before sunset so that all may aasemble on the plazas and other plaoea where a view.of the grounds can be had at tha moment the national salute is fired. At that moment the flags that float over the world's fair will he lowered, for the last time, all at once, as on opening day they were thrown loose to the breeze at a signal given by President Cleveland.

At Night.

At 7:30 o'clock the electric lights will illuminate the grounds, the fountains will play and an effort will be made to have the illumination on the laat night more wonderful than the regular displays. An hour after the grani oourt has been illuminated the wooded island, clothed in its autumnal gown.owill be a blase of glory. Fairy lamps, electric lights and every possible contrivance for the beautifying of the grounds by fire will be called into service. At the same time tha pyrotechnical displays will begin on the lake front, in the grand court aud in other parts of the grounds.

Knoll of tho Fair.

All hope of extending the period of the exposition beyond Ootober 21 vanished after Tuesday night's meeting of the executive committee. For three hours ite members discussed every phase of the question and ended by adopting a report submitted by Director of Works Burnham and the director general which notes the expiration of most of the contracts necessary toward prolonging the exposition after the gates close October 81.

Visitors will be admitted to the grounds between the hours of 8 a. v. and (p. m., the buildings closing at 4 p. m. 11 is left to the director general to designate what buildings may be entered by visitors. All the night shows are ent off. The electric light* with the exception of those in the Administration and Woman's buildings will be discontinued. The fountains will ceaae to play and there will be nothing left of interest except the eaterior ,of the buildings and the tight of track laying and removal of exhibits. The price of admission, it is understood, will remain as at present

Demolition In Order.

The demolition committed submitted an extended report whiehwas adopted, and the South park commissioners are asked to extend the time of removal of the buildings one year from that designated in the South park ordinance. The directors want until May, 1895, to clear off the buildings in the north en4 of the park and until May, 1890, to remove Chose in the south end and tha Midway Plaisance.

Will CeaH November

The question of administration after the fair was left largely to President Qlginbotham and Director General Davis. The term of the members of the council of administration expires October 31, and Tuesday it voted to go out of existence November 20. It will, however, transact no new business in November, but devote its time to making a final report of its operations. The council as an executive body ceases at the end of this month.

Getting Ready to Pack Up.

The' busiest placcs inside the fair grounds are the warehouses. Large forces of men are at work getting the thousands of packing cases ready for delivery November 1. Several days ago an order signed by Director Gen eral Davis was issued to the effect that no goods should be removed or packed before November 1. Exhibits to be exported under bead have to be packed under the 4ireotlon of customs officers and under the check of the transportation department and the joint agent AU goods have to be returned by the same route they war*

shipped to Jackson park. On November a track will be laid from the yards along the north side of Machinery hall and Agriculture building to the peristyle, and these exhibits from these two buildings, will be removed before those of the other structures, except transportation. The track connections in this building are already laid and no delay will be experienced in the clearing away of exhibits.

Over *0,000,090 Paid Admissions. CHICAGO, Oct. 25.—The 20,000,000 mark of paid admissions to the world's fair was passed on Tuesday. The admissions for the day were 848,488, making the grand total sines May 1, 28,195,271. The end is not yet, for the people are still coming in large numbera There are su more days of the fair and they will be all big days, too. Superintendent Tusker, who has demonstrated that he is pretty good at guessing, is hopeful that thaae day* will add enough to the total of paid admissions to make it 22,000,000 when the flags are furled next Monday evening and the World's Columbian exposition's benediction is formally pronounced by the powers that be.

A PLEA FOR THE DEBTOR.

ffpeeches Made In tho House Against tho Bankruptcy Bill. WASHINGTOS, Oat. 25.—In the house the debate on the bankauptcy bill was resumed on Tuesday. Mr. Denson (Ala.) took the floor in opposition to the measure. He de6orlbed at length the depression of the debtor class, which he ascribed largely to the demonetization of silver. "Now that you have demonetized silver," he said, "you propose to inaugurate the eruolal performance of the auctioneer's hammer to complete the work that has been going on." $

After some further diversion Mr. Denson conoluded his argument against the bankruptcy bill. Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) supported the bilL The bill might be defective, but it oould be amended. It eould be tried and after a few years perfeoted.

Mr. Bryan closed the debate for the day with a vigorous apeeoh in opposition to tha measure. This bill was not drawn In the interest of the debtor class, tt comes from the wholesaler, who desires a better method of collecting his debts. Under the state laws a man who attacked the credit ef a debtor was liable for damagea But this bill would plaoe every debtor at the mercy of a oreditoV, whether he was insolvent or not The news that has reached us to-day from the other end of the capltol of the probable passage of the repeal bill and the establishment of the gold standard fa this country will necessitate some law to relieve the debtor of his debt But It ought to protect voluntary bankrupts. There will be enough involuntary bankrupts when the Voorhees biH goes into operation.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Oct 25.—Dr. Sweetland, of Edwardsburg, Mich., editor of the Argus, has identified the body of one of the victims as that of his sister, Mra fciveline Aldrich, of Edwardsburg, and the body was shipped to that place Monday night The coroner on Tuesday received a dispatch from J.

Vtaube and Charles Wende, but their addreesea are not known. Mrs. Robert Flndley and R.' D. Colgrove are known to be among the dead, but are unreoognizable.

IK

lliicunstltatlnnal— Njuupal. .of the Opinion.

THB BALLOT SOT FOJl HKK. LANSING, Mich., Oct. 25.—in a unanimous opinion the supreme court ou Tuesday declared unconstitutional tlie act of the legislature conferring municipal suffrage upon women. The court says the general rule is that the source of all authority to vote at popular e.leetions is the constitution that the electorate is instituted by the fundamental law that the qualifications of eleotors must be uniform throughout the state aud that wherever the constitution has prescribed the qualifications of electors they cannot be changed or added to by the legislature, or otherwise. except by an amendment to the constitution. 8ection 1 of article 7 of the constitutlon which provides that electors shall be male citizens and entitled to vote is quoted and the statement made that Its terms are applicable to all elections.

The court says that to empower the legislature to confer the elective franchise upon classes of persons other than those named at some other provision must be pointed out which confere that authority in express terms or by necessary implication. Such a provision is aot to be found in the constitution, hence the act of last winter was held to be void.

The proceedings were instituted in Detroit in the name of Mary Stewart Coffin and others to test to the validity of the aot granting women the right to vote in school, village and city elections in the state.
