BILL DALTON WAS I N CHICAGO RECENTLY. Loag-Lookcd-for Rain at Chicago—The Caravels, Are Now Your Uncle Samuel’s —McKinley Again in the Campaign Harness—Sweden vs. Russia. • Was Dalton in the Gang? The known presence in Chicago of Bill Dalton, of the famous band of train robbers and bank thieves, within the week has suggested a new lino of thought to the detectives working on the Lake Shore train robbery case. The officers heard that Dalton had been seen in the city and had suddenly disappeared. Taen a concerted effort was made to get track of Dalton’s movements, but that little satisfaction was secured is evident from the thorough manner in which the south side is being canvassed for the least trace of the breezy westerner. No one would accuse Dalton of being a raw hand at flagging railroad trains. From the manner In which the Lake Shore train was held up, It is certain that the leaders were no novices. The method was similar to tho manner in which the Dalton gang robbed the Missouri, Kansas and Texas passenger train No. 2 in the Indian Territory July 14, 1892. The Dalton gang is now pretty well broken up. but a few of the old and tried hands are still living—somo of them active.

GIVEN TO UNCLE SAM. Formal Presentation of the Caravels to the United States. The caravels belong to Uncle Fam now. Sturdy Captain Concas, bronzed by many long sea voyages, stood below the Castilian standard, snapping at the tops of tall, red flag poles, and delivered the historic fleet to Captain Berry. U. S. N., Tuesday, at Chicago. The American voyager accepted the fleet and a few moments later Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo formally took the craft in the name of the government of the United States. There were cheers for brave Captain Concas and nis crew, shouts for the little King of Fpain and his mother, the queen regent, and ] lodges of eternal friendship between the two nations, and then Captain Concas hurried away, leaving pleasant memories of hts stay. FIRST GUN IN OHIO. McKinley Opens the State Campaign at Akron. At Akron, Ohio, tho Republican Etato campaign was Inaugurated with a speech by Governor McKinley. Prominent Republicans from all parts of tbo State were present and the number of visitors from adjacent towns and the surrounding country va* so large that arrangements were made for an overflow meeting. Mr. McKinley began by referring lo the Sherman law and tho present extra session of Congress called to repeal it The majority of Republicans, in Congress, be declared,favored repeal. If the bill is repealed It will be the joint work of Republicans and Democrats. If it is not repealed the responsibility will rest upon the Dem ocratle party which is chargeable with public legislation.

Allies for Sweden. The Vieuna Allgemeine Zeitung declares that Sweden is abopt to Join the triple alliance. It says that King Oscar has been induaed to associate himself with the dreibunders owing to a conviction that the separatist movement in Norway Is chiefly fostered by the Russian Government. Pour-parlers between Berlin and Stockholm have been proceeding for sorab tlmo< ahd the recent visit of Prince Leopold of Prussia to Stockholm was connected with them. The Allgemeine Zeitung suggests that Russia hopes that Norway on obtaining' her Independence will concede her a Norwegian port as a coaling station for her Baltic fleet. All Welcome the Rain. Until Tuesday night the memory of the last shower at Chicago was but a dream. The Just and the UDjust were dry as the Congressional Record. For 108 days the skies had been as brass. The parks and grass plats looked like the lots for salting sheep, and the surrounding pralrlo yawned with crevasses cavernous in depth and appalling width. But on Tuesday, the Weather Bureau announced that there would be no rain until October, and this was just what was needed. The rains descended, the floods came, and the parched citizens’ faces absorbed moisture enough to wear a smile rivaling a simian. ,

War In World's Fair Rate!. At Clinton, Mo.,lhe Missouri, Texas made an open rate-, for tho round trip to the World’s Fair and return. A party of about eighty-five people had been made up for the Memphis route and the Santa Fa. This party was to buy tickets at the regular agreed rates with a promiseof a rebatewben the members reached Chicago. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas heard of the secret cut and met tbe rate openly. This is expected” to bring on a general war of Western rates.

Pays His Fine In Nickels. Major Tom Breckinridge, president 01 one of the national banks in Austin, Texas, was fined 822 for keeping coal oil In large quantities in the fire limits of the city. He paid his fine in nickels. The Congress Is Not Held. The Catholic Congress fixed to open in Tberestopolls has been prohibited by the Hungarian Minister of the Interior, owing to the prevalence of cholera. The con: gress would have attracted 8,000 people. Bismarck Is Very Sick. 1 A special dispatch received from Klsstngen says that Prince Bismarck Is very seriously 111. It Is said that he has entirely lost the use ofhis hands. w Harder and Fire. A report Is current of a double murder in a hotel at Brighton, A suburb of Rochester, N. Y., and that the hotel has been fired, burning two persons to death. Deadljr Gasoline Stove. AtOuthrle, O. !

D., hat been burglarized and 81,600 stolen, - e* Officer Under Arrest. Joseph Reynolds, formerly secret service agent of the ’Frisco Railroad, was arrested in Arkansas City, Kan., charged with complicity in the Mound Valley train robbery In which Express Messenger Chapman was murdered.. | Old Kan Murdered by White Caps. • At Dunlap. Tean., Lafayette Grimes was saordered from ambush. The old pi an had been whipped by white caps, and procured the arrest of the white-cappers. In order to prevent him from appearing as a sritneas agalnsf them, the white caps lay fie Walt wlthshotguus and riddled his body. I Xs Pensions to Non-Residents. A United States pensioner at Kingston, Owl, received a circular from the pension tone as at Washington saying that from ami after July 1, 1893, no pensions shall be jttdi to non-residents who are not ciUzens if tbe Hotted Slates, except for actual

EXPENSES EXCEED REVENUES. The Treasury Balance Intrenched Upon to the Amount of 919,000,000. A Washington dispatch says that Government receipts are still running low this month, the receipts from customs Tuesday, $79,900, being the lowest for any one day since war times. The total revenues for the first six days of September aggregate only $3,990,000, or about $660,000 a day, while the expenditures foot up $4,900,000, or more than SBOO,OOO per d ay. Because the expenditures continue to exceed the receipts the treasury balance, which, on Sept 1, including tho gold reserve was $107,000,000, has declined to $105,500,000. A pointed reduction Is noted in customs receipts, which during this month foot up $1,697,000, while ifiternal revenue receipts exceed them, something unusual, and aggregate $1,878,000. dEgr the fiscal year up to Tuesday Ihe receipts from Internal revenue are only ! 1,500,000 less than customs receipts. In round figures the expenditures of the United States for the fiscal year to. date exceed the receipts $19,00(1000; and this excess has been drawn from the available cash balance in the treasury. HAMILTON BIS I*.DEAD, General Grlji^’S’ 1 Great Secretary of State Stricken Down. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State In the Cabinet of Gen. Grant, died Thursday morning at his country home atGarrison’s, N. Y. Few men of tho century set the seal of their individuality so doeply Into the history and political character of the nation as did Hamilton Fish. He was Grant’s most trusted friend. With Jefferson, Marcy, and Blaine he shares the distinction of plaeein the quartet of truly great diplomatists and statesmen who have held the portfolio of Secretary of Ho has passed away full of years, bearing the laurels of what was In many respects an unmatched career. Mr. Fish was born In the city of New York on Aug. 3, 1808. He was the son of Colonel Nicholas Fish, a colonial officer of the revolutionary war, the warm friend of Washington and flfiexander Hamilton, after whom he was named. His mother was tho daughter of sturdy old Petrus Stuyvosant, and on her side be was a lineal descendant and heir of the last Eutch colonial governor of New York.

ROBBED THE SLEEPERS. Clever Thief Takes Up a Collection on a Grand Trunk Express Train. A startling train robbery occurred on the Grand Trunk express between Detroit and Suspension Bridge Thursday night. It was cleverly worked, not with highwayman’s mask and pistol, but with the sly movements of the midnight burglar. One of. tbe passengers who luckily escaped without having been “touched” said he was awakened In the night by some one thrusting his bead between tie curtains of his berth, lie asked what wap wanted, when the stranger hastily withdrew, mumbling something about the custom officials boarding tbe train. In the morning tho conductor was Informod of the circumstance, wheroupon he boasted that his train never had boon robbed. The passengers soon discovered that mouoy and other articles were missing, und the conductor was dumfounded to find his own purse gone. Veterans go home. John B. Adams of Massachusetts Succeeds Commander Wclssert. Tho Grand Army people finished their business and left Indianapolis for homo Thursday evening. Tbe election of offi-

cers was brought up, and these weroelected, practically v ithout opposition: Commander - lnchlof, John J. B. Adams, of Massachusetts; Senior Vice Commander CoL J. N.

He served through the war, rising to the rank of captain. • Any Game tor a Prize Is Gambling, Judge Moon, at Chattanooga, Tenn., in tbe Circuit Court, called the grand jury before him and charged them that all private games of poker, seven-up, and progressive eucher, on the result of which anything of value as a prize was won or lost, was gaming and In violation of the law, which he road. The fact that such games were played In fashionable society made no difference He also quoted authority to show that raffling In churches was gambling. He had not made tbe laws, but proposed to enforce them, and charged the jury to see that the statute was observed to the letter. Murdered by White-Caps. At Dunlap, a station about thirty miles from Chattanooga, Lafayette Grimes was murdered from ambush. Ihe old man was whipped by “White-Caps” last week and had caused tbe arrest of bis assailants In order to prevent him from appealing against them the White-Caps laid In Wait with shotguns and riddled his body, the authorities are not very anxious to meet the murderers.

Mesaba Range Consolidation Has Stirred Them to Immediate Action. It is a royal battle between giants now. No sooner had the details of the Mesaba range consolidation between the Ddluth and New York Interests been telegraphed over tbb country than the leading officials of the Minnesota Iron Company stirred themselves. The Minnesota Iron Company has been eagerly at work for the past few months, since It began to realize the Mosaba’s proportion. One of the leading spirits of the Minnesota said that another combination as strong as the Rockefeller-Merritt combination would be perfected soon and that the Minnesota would bo the nucleus. Tbe Minnesota is capitalized at $16,590,000, while there will be from $23,000,000 to $30,000,000 of consolidated stock. The Minnesota owns the Duluth and Iron Range Ballway, reaching both ranges, while the consolidated owns the Duluth, Mesaba and Northern. The Minnesota owns a magnificent fleet of eight great steel ships of 2,500 tons capacity. while the consolidated Controls the American stoel barge fleet of 70,000 tons capacity. RECOVERY 18 STEAD?.

Business Conditions Continue to Show Improvement. R. G. Dun t Ca’s Weekly Review of Trade says: Improvement has extended from the banks to the mills. The condition of great industries has distinctly mended, though still seriously depressed. More Important by far than any rise in stocks 4s the fact that more works have resumed during the last week than have stopped operation, so that the producing force of the country after months of constant decline has begun to Increase. Dispatches mention twenty-eight textile and thlßy mdtal 1 works which have resumed, some only with part force, while twenty-five textile .gnfl nine iron wqrks have stopped It is 1 expected that most of the Fall River mills will start soon, the hands assenting to reduced wages. The money market Is more healthy, the premium on currency has almost vanished, the embarrassments in domestic exchanges have well-nigh disappeared, and while little money Is yet available for commercial or industrial loans there is some relief in that respect also. MOB HANGS A NEGRO. Ben Jackson, Who Poisoned Several People, Taken from Jail and Lynched. At Quincy, Miss., shortly ufter midnight Shursday a mob numbering several hunred appearod at tho jail, took Ben Jackson. colored, to a tree near by and swung him to a limb, after which his body was perforated with bullets The crime for, which Jackson was lynched was the poisoning of the families of Thomas Woodrough and his two sons, numbering twenty-five people, from the effects of which two of them died and two others aro at death’s door. Jackson placed three packages of rat poison in Woodrough’s well and when the members of the family drank the water all of thdm were taken violently ill, two dying before a physician could be summoned.

SCENES IN THE SENATE

SOME OF THE MEN WHO MAKE SPEECHES. Leader! Engaged In Parliamentary Dueling—Debates Bristle with Sharp Re-partee-Conferences that Indicate Silent Warfare. The Great Debate. Washington correspondence: The scenes in the Senate since the opening, of the extra session have been

scored away, the data and statistics are read and analyzed. Seldom has any debate been so carefully followed and studied as that which nas been going on for.the past two weeks. Those who have been fortunate enough to be present in the Senate galleries have seen and heard the men of the nation at their best. There has been a struggle on all sides to mako for each party the most of the political capital that is certain to result when Congress legislates upon a subject of not national but international import. Every point, every word has its meaning, and before such a critical audience one is bound to think twice before.he speaks, for he appre-

ciates that should he make a misstep he would be at the mercy of those ho are of a different belief, who are ever on the alert. to make it embarrassing for him. The debates bristle wit h sharp repartee, and give to the sessions of tho Senate a sharpness and brilliancy that is unusual. The battle that is being waged on the floor is not appar-; ent to tho casual observer’. In every motion that is made there is apt to be a

hidden effort, and it takes the vigilance and quick insight of tho leader to appreciate the meaning of his opponent and as quickly pat ry it with a motion that will benefit his side. The conferences that occur between these men are interesting and at the same time aro indicative of the silent warfare that is eoing on. A motion or suggestion made by the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) hurriedly ca ls together Mr. Teller, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Dubois, Mr, Peffer, Mr. Jones, and the other silver Senators. On the other hand, a move pn the part of' any of these will bring together Mr. Gorman, Mr. Voor-

SENATOR M'FHERSON.

to allow others to carry out his plans. As a study of the aristocratic characters of the different sections of the country the Senate even affords better opportunities than the House. It would not be a difficult matter to analyze the temperaments of the Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Lodge, or those of Mr. Peffer, from Kansas. Two men could hardly be more different in their tastes and habits. In Mr. Lodge .there is the cut and dash of a collegebred Now-Englander. The trim, welldressed figure, erect and athletic in its build, a good strong head well posted on national affairs and a mind clear and independent are seen by his walk. Most closely resembling him in these attributes is Senator Wolcott, of Colorado,

who is also Eastern born, but Western raised. His stay in the West has given Mm that boldness of speech and. directness of manner which is characteristic . of- the West, while adding a robust' constitution which allows of a powerful voice and force of gesture. For so young a man ha. attracts more atten- r tion to his speeches'; than is usual. Firmly identified*

with everything in senator sheuman. the Senate that has a silver lining is Mr. Stewart of Nevada. He is known the world over as being for silver, free and unlimited as to its coinage, and in this respect he is one of the bout-known characters in the Senate. He is one of the far Western self-made men, and though, perhaps, his power of oratory is not as magnetic as some of his fellow members, he is undoubtedly a thorn in the side of those who attempt to legislate against the white metal. He has an apparently everlasting fund Of silver knowledge, and is ever prepared to stand for the rights of that metal. Senator Sherman seems to have aged since the last session, but it was apparent froill his recent speech that he has lost none of the fire and clear-headed manner of speech that has marked him as one of the most able men this country hhs produced. He is one of the parliamentarians, in Congress, and is always ready to suggest the proper method of disposing of any question that comes before the body of which he is a member. Though he had a portipn bTidiis speech written out, he sel- ' dOm referred to the notes, except for statistics or figures, and though he talked for nearly three hours he never hesitated or had to change his style of expression. He is seldom absent from ; the Sephto. and is regarded as one of most valuable men that there are on the Republican side of the chamber for that party. Perhaps, next to Senator Voorhees, the Democrat who is taking the mfcst active part in the financial discussion is Senator McPherson of New Jersey. According to his own statement he appreciates that his party is now in control Qf the legislative branches of the country, and that it is responsible for all that is given to this country from Congress during this Congress at least. Re has come forward as a strong friend of the administration in the present emergency, and on account of his ex-

perience and long- service on the Finance Committee is one of Mr. Cleveland’s most helpful lieutenants on the floor. . f -

Great Mate. Belt of the Country Mach Affected by the Drought. The September report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture shows a decline in the condition of corn to 76.7 from 87 in the month of August and 93.2 in July, beiifg a decline of mqre than 10 points from the August and over 16 from the July report. The change is marked in nearly all of the surplus corn States. The present condition is 75 in Kentucky, 64 in Ohio, 65 in Michigan, 59 in Indiana, 64 in Illinois, 96 in lowa, 92 in Missouri, 74 in Kansas and 71 in Nebraska. In comparison with the September reports of the last ten years only three were lower—7o.l in 1890, 72.3 in 1887, and 76.6 in 1886. In the same month in 1882 the condition was 79.6 or nearly three points higher than the present month. There has been a general decline in the condition throughout the country due to the prevailing drought. The condition of w r heat, considering both winter and spring varieties, when harvested was 74, against 85.3 in 1892. The general average is the lowest since 1885, when it was 72. The reported conditions from correspondents in the principal wheat-grow-ing States are as follows: Ohio, 98; Michigan, 80; Indiana, 88; Illinois, 60; Wisconsin, SO; Minnesota, 65: Iowa; 85; Missouri, 64; Kansas, 42; Nebraska, 55; South Dakota, 66; North Dakota, 67; Colorado, 89, and Oregon, 93. In the East, New York has 76; Pennsylvania, 93; Maryland, 98; Virginia, 96, and Texas, 68. In the New England, Eastern, and most of the Southern States the crop was harvested in good condition and the yield averaged well. The same can be said of Ohio. In Indiana the quality is good, but crop light, while in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska the yield is small and of an inferior quality, much of it grading No. 3 and under, while in some places it is reported to be worthless. In the Dakotas the yield is light, while the quality is generally good. In lowa and Wisconsin the winter variety yielded well and was of good quality, while the spring yield was poor and of an inferior quality. In Minnesota the yield has been poor and not up to expectations, the quality generally being good, with some complaint of shriveled grain. In California and Oregon the quality of the grain is good up to an average, and the yield has been good except on lowlands, where it was greatly damaged.

Nearly all the Great Religions Represented at Chicago. Christians ar.d Jews, Mohammedans, Buddhists, Brahmans and followers of about every religious creed in the civilized world* met in one grand assembly in the Chicago Art Palace Monday morning for the first time in the history of the world. Time and again the greatest audience which has ever packed the Art Palace thundered its approval of the spirit of toleration and liberality which made possible the parliament of the religions of the world. The darkskinned sectarians of the Oriental countries in their white and yellow robes and turbans sat side by side with the dark-gowned and hatted prelates of the Greek Church and a red cloaked and capped cardinal of the Church of Rome. Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists,-CampbeHites and Unitarians laid by their differences on baptism, eternal punishment, forordination and the vicarious atonement and joined hands with the followers of Confueius, Mahomet, Buddha and those of every sect. Nor was woman forgotten. She was given such recognition as would have been impossible a few decades ago. Long befere the hour for the opening of the session Columbus Hall was crowed with such an audience as was never within its doors before. Up stairs and down the aisles were filled with people and the passageways around the seats were packed with people five deep. Archbishop Feehan, the Rev. John H. Barrows, President Higinbotham and others delivered addresses of welcome and responses, and addresses to the occasion were delivered by Cardinal Gibbons; Archbishop Redwood, of New Zealand; Count A. Bernstorff, Berlin: the Most Rev. Dionysius Latas, Archbishop of Zante, Greece: Carl von Bergen. Sweden; Prof! C. N. Charkarar, H. Dharmapala and P. C. Mozoomdar, India: the Hon.

Presding Elder Shots Himself The Rev. W. A. Amsbury, presiding elder of the North Platte. Neb., district, shot and almost instantly killed himself Monday afternoon. He was riding in a Union Pacific caboose on his way to keep an appointment, and for amusement had been shooting at telegraph poles as the train passed by. While the train was standing at a station the crew heard a shot and, entering the daboose, found Mr. Amsbury breathing' his last. His friends scoffed the idea of suicide. Wheels Revolve Again.

ROBBERS’ BIG HAUL.

ASTOUNDING RAID ON A LAKE SHORE TRAIN. The Bandit* Get 5300.000, Shoot the Kngineer, and Make Their Escape—lnadequate Seward Offered by the Road—They Were Professional*. • Story of the Deed. When the Atlantic express on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, which left Chicago at 7:45 o’clock Monday evening for, New York and Boston, reached Kessler, Ind., at 12:40 o'clock, it was stopped by an open-switch signal. A gang of men boarded the train, shot Engineer Stewart Knapp and blew open the United States Express Company’s safe with dynamite, stealing its contents. It is believed that these amounted to nearly $300,000, including a shipment of $250,000 from a Chicago to a New York bank. The robbery was a bold one, though it was probably the work of a gang of tramps, according to the belief of the best-known thief catchers. The train carries express, mail, day coaches, and sleepers. It is the heaviest expres s train on the road, and frequently carries a half million dollars in currency and bullion. This fact must have been known to the robbers, as they were prepared in every way to make a big haul. The robbers numbered eighteen or twenty men, all armed and prepared for their desperate work At the fall of the engineer, who was shot in the back by a masked man, who boarded the locomotive from the opposite side, the fireman was covered with a Winchester and ordered at the cost of his life to stop the train, which he did.

When the train stopped Messenger Weist thought the train had reached Kendallville, and threw open the south door to unload and take off express matter, but seeing that it was the siding he apprehended danger and slammed it shut: but almost at the same instant there was a loud report and the north door of the car flew off its hinges by the explosion of dynamite cartridges. Messenger West and his helper, named Hamblin, were covered with Winchesters and ordered to open the small safe, which they did. In the meantime ten masked men, all armed, had entered the car, three of whom went to work boring holes for dynamite cartridges in the large safe in which all through shipments of money and bullion were kept. The work was accomplished in a professional manner and speedily. In a few moments after the explosion of the cartridge the large safe door fell to the floor, opening up a large amount of money and bullion, which the robbers proceeded to load themselves with, together with that found in the small safe, which wa3 taken on at local star tions, and amounted to several thousand dollars. No attempt was made to open the inner vault to the large safe, where the bulk of the currency was kept. President and General Manager J. Newell, of the Lake Shore Railroad, has ordered that 2,000 posters be printed offering SI,OOO for the capture and convicf.on of the robbers, and that they be posted broadcast over the country. He also ordered - that advertisements offering the same reward be published in all local newspapers along the line of the Lake Shore Railroad between Elkhart, Ind., and Toledo.

CEREALS ADVANCE IN PRICE.

Unfavorable Crop Reports Send Wht-at and Corn Up Two Cents. When the bell struck in the Chicago Board of Trade Monday it made things rattle in the pits. On top of an advance of 2 to 3 cents the wheat market jumped. II cents in an hou.w On top of a jump cf 4 cents in four days last week corn got a further whirl of 2 cents at the same time. Oats were advanced H cents. Pork was bid up 40 cents. Nearly everything closed at nearly top prices. There was .more excitement of a legitimate order than any day since Cud’hy and Wright tumbled the. first week in August. There was a surprise in the official figures on wheat. From the August figures the crop was figured about 385,000,000 bushels. Then the month was so excellent for the late harvest that the trade thought the final September report on condition and yield would raise the total to 400,000,000. Instead, the average was cut to 74 per cent, of a crop, and the total for the country reduced to 371,000,000 bushels. This was 12,000,000 off from the August timate. and makes the crop 150.000,000 short of 1892, and nearly 250,000,000 short of 1891, the banner year. Telegraphic Clicks.

NO VOTE FOR WEEKS.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND REJECTS A COMPROMISE. Silver Senator* Will Delay the Vote a* Dong a* Possible—Majority of the Body Will Not Attempt to Limit the DebateSenator* Seek Best. Will Be No Clotore. Washington correspondence:

ALL hopes of thff passage of the repeal bill in the \ Senate during the next two weeks seem to be a t an end. The situation is less satisfactory than it rgi|» has been for some "iBBt time. The silver men have made ■fjjPfeo ventures to the Bident for a 2*?? compromise, or for liVii/iiTTTwsome concession on ■mm. the part of the adliilnT flmimstration and I I. have been denied 1)., * in such positive

terms that they are filled to overflowing with anger, the sort of anger which finds vent in a 'determination to talk the repeal measure to death. The proposition for concession on the part of Mr. Cleveland was made through Senators Gorman ana Smith, the latter of whom has often before been a medium of communication between the White House and the coterie of silver Senators. But Mr. Cleveland was not iOTreompromise mood when this proposition was broached to him by Senators Gorman and Smith. With the scent of victory, in his nostrils he stood pat and said it would be time enough to talk of con-; cession or of further financial legislation whop the repeal bill was safely passed. He absolutely declined to be a party to any compromise or to any con-; cession, even the Faulkner amendment] or any less important salve to the) wounded pride of the silver advocates/ When this decision was reported to! the silver men they became exceeding-, ly wroth. They expressed their opinion of Mr. Cleveland in lurid words, and accused him of trying to bulldoze the whole party for his self-glorifica-tion. While they" were willing to stop the flood of talk and permit the repeal bill to pass within, f a few days if arty disposition were shpwn on the other side to concede a trifle to them, now that Mr. Cleveland had refused to listen to their peaceful overtures, they would be —= before they would: stop talking and clear the decks for a The last extremity of cloture is not: to be invoked. A heavy majority of| the members are in favor of unconditional repeal, but this majority has been carefully polled, and it has declared that the conditions are not such as to warrant the radical departure from the tiirte-honored traditions of the Senate that would be necessary to] secure a cloture of debate and force] the repeal bill to the final vote, consequently the indications at the time; this is written are that the talk will proceed, Senator Gorman will start within a few days for Chicago. Senator Palmer is going to Chicago also. Senator Smith has gone home. Other Senators will leave the capital for a little rest. No one expects a vote before October now.
