FEAR OF A BARRIER

In the Path of the Voorhes Repeal Bill. Probability That Republicans May Desert It If the House Votes to Repeal the Election Law, WHICH MAYBE DONE SOON. Adoption by the Committee of the Tucker Bill, Which May Bo Reported to ths House Thursday. Mr. Bynum's Conference with Secretary Carlisle. A Xnmbrr of Mrnurfi Introduced by Indiana Representatives Senators I'nth and Teller MiiUe Speeche on the Repeal Hill BUREAU OF THE PF.NTINEL, WASHINGTON. D. "'.. Sept. 11. 1S93. There is no new light let in on the Senate situation and a great deal of weariness is manifested by those senators who. though friendly to tha use of silver, regard this delay and fighting over the repeal of the Sherman law as very unwise and unfortunate. On account of the eculiar conditions under which the forces in support of repeal are organized, members of both parties making up the vote by which the bill passed the house and the measure being dependent upon republican votes for passage by the senate, every other proposition for legislation, ' every legislative move and the whole policy of congress seem to be involved in thi3 measure, and its friends are constantly in a elate of alarm lest some other legislation be attempted which might offend the republican supporters of repeal or in some way throw a barrier across the track of the Voorhee bill. Now that it is expected that the proposition to repeal the federal election laws will come up In the house this week, a pood many of the friends of the Voorhees bill aie alarmed lest the partisan discussion over the federal election laws should so anger pome of the republicans as to cause them to withdraw their support from the other propositions. They fear that the partisanship which will develop cn the one question will have a reflex action on the other and give, the administration pome trouble. The house, however, contemplates going ahead with the federal elction proposition. The democrats of the committee having in charge that measure met today and decided upon a bill to le presented. They adopted the Tucker bill, which repeals 11 laws on the statute books which authorize the use of troops at the polls; Jill laws which give the federal government any Jurisdiction over the elctions in the states and over the registration of voters in the states. It is a sweeping measure, destroying the federal jurisdiction established during the reconstruction period and since. The bill will be formally laid before the whol committee tomorrow and then reported to the house. Notice will Le given that it will be called up for consideration on Thursday, and it is expected that the house will adjourn over until that day. Meanwhile the discussion over the Voorhees bill goes on without any indication of an approaching end, and the advocates of repeal are perplex! as to the course they should pursue to hasten a vote. They fear that any move toward forcing the matter to a conclusion will only furnish a diversion from the main Issue and prolong the light. So they are compelled for the present at least to worry on through the weary delay, and to wait for something to turn up to end the matter. Ulli by Iiirilarvi Members. A number of rrlvate bil'13 have been introduced in the house by the Indiana members. Mr. Taylor his Introduced a bill for the relief of John O. Eigenman, and John Biedenkopf.

TUB SILYRH DEBATE.

Speeches by Senators PhrIi and Teller Agnlunt llepenl. In the senate today the greater part of the time was occupied by Senator Pugh of Alabama in opposition to the repeal of the Sherman law. He was followed by Senator Teller of Colorado, al?o against the bill and concluded his speech begun on Saturday last. The silver men. neither Saturday nor today, followed the tactics inaugurated early last week of insisting upon the presence of a quorum and apparently the feeling between the friends and opponents of repeal Is much better than it has been heretofore during the session. Both Mr. Pugh and Mr. Teller discussed the question in a calm and dignified manner and they were accorded most respectful attention. Mr. Dolph presented a printed petition of the conference of the methodist episcopal church In Oregon for the repeal of the Geary act. The petition alleged a state of affairs as to that law which Mr. Dolph said showed that much opposition ti the law was the result of ignorance as to Its provisions and their effect. Referring to the bill recently introduced in the house extending the time for registering one year, he said he would have no objection to its enactment into law if such extension were requested by the Chinese government, or If there were any assurance that the six companies would permit laborers to register. Mr. Stewart submitted a resolution for the creation of a committee of five senators to ascertain and report whether any senator is a stockholder, or is interested In anv national bank. He said the organization of Wall . and Lombard-sts. had for several years been charging; senators representing silver states with voting on matters in which they were personally interested. He had not for fifteen years been Interested in respect personally In any silver mine or bullion. Mr. Hill thought the resolution was not a wise one and he could not believe that the senator from Nevada was serious in presenting it. It was an unprecedented and unheard of resolution. "Sir, i cannot resist the conclusion," said Mr. Hill in tones of gravity, "that the introduction of this resolution is to some extent a reflection upon the senate, th intimation implied by it was that senators would be intluenced by holding stock in national banks in reference to the pasage cf great measures. The senate would belittle itself by Instituting any Fueh Inquiry. I think it an uncalled for and an unnecessary resolution." Mr. Stewart attempted to reply, but an objection from Mr. Hawley sent the resolution over till tomorrow. The repeal bill was than taken up ana Mr. Teller, who was entitled to the floor, yielded to Mr. Pugh. He said that the message of the president calling an extra session was a declaration in favor cf a gold standard. If the Sherman law was unconditionally repealed such action would cause discontent among the tolling millions to such an extent that they would shake the country. He would never vote for unconditional reneal, but favored any substitute which carried out the platform of the democratic party. lr. Teller Resumes. Mr. Teller then resumed his speech begun on Saturday last. against the repeal bill. Mr. Teller asserted and he believed it could be demonstrated that if it had not been for a preconcerted effort in the money center of the country to prevent it the first of September would have seen" better times In the finances of the country than the people were experiencing today. "It was announced now by all the great financial authorities of New York that the panic was over. He met one day recently A gentleman of national reputation and said to him, "When will this panic be over?' That gentleman repiled. 'When the men who called it on call it off.' The bankers of New York called it on; when they get ready to call It off it will come off." The calling of congress did not relieve the country; in fact, the condition became worse from the time the congress was called in extraordinary session.. Mr. Teller sali ho would at some other time give to the senate his conception Of the cause for the recent distressed condition. In his opinion it wm due to legislative misconduct. Mr. Teller next directed himself to stock Operations. A New York paper had published dally for some time the depreciation in value of stocks, or the destruction of values caused by the Sherman law, as the paper said. The paper had finally got the amount up to $700,000. In his opinion a great many stocks were Selling on the market today for more than they were worth. He cited Northern Pacific, which, he said, had fallen from 70 to 17. It was said all the great owners connected with it unloaded when It was 70. That Company had $250.000.000 Of Indebtedness; $75,000,000 held In Germany, a great amount owned in Holland and England. "Don't you think," asked the Colorado senator, "that when a large corporation like that collapsed and is left with a debt so great that Its mast enthusiastic friends cannot hope that it can ever pay, that finances in this country might be disturbed as well as In Europe?" He thn instanced Erie stock. He did not suppose anybody pretended that Erl would ever pay out. lie then hext referred to Reading. Did any Intelligent man believe that any of those three great corporations were solvent? Did not everybody know they were insolvent? This disturbance did not come from the Sherman law. It came from the misconduct of officials. Mr. Teller said he did not mean to say criminal misconduct, but that they did not deal fairly with their Investors. The good stocks of the country maintained themselves with rare exceptions almost at par, and many of them maintained themselves above par even during the oriels. It had been said that the Stocks of the trunk lines did not fall moro than 9 per cent., while the industrial and speculative stocks had fallen 8i per cent. It behooved congress, Mr. Telller said, when It came to legislate upon this subject, to find the cause of the evil. and. if within it power, to remove the evil. He did not claim that congress could touch the question of dealing In stocks. That was one of the vlls that had to be allowed to exist. Mr. VooThee here said If agreeable to the senator from Colorado he would move an executive session. Before yielding to that motion Mr. Teller replied that he had reached a point where he could quit for the present and he would take up another branch of the subject some other day. After a short executive session the senate adjourned. Capital Notes. Charles II. J. Taylor of Kansas was named to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Bolivia. The senate committee on the Judiciary has agreed to make a favorable report upon the nomination of Frank Dale of Oklahoma to be chief justice Cf that territory. .. . ,. . - .. . .

H0 FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR.

GO WITH TUB SF.STIXEtS PARTY OF EXCIRSIOSISTS. Already a llltr Demand for Tickets By Far the liest Offer Yet Made to Ylaitore to the Fair The Termi, There Is already a big demand for tickets for the first Sentinel excursion to the world's fair, which will leave the Union station at Indianapolis next Monday morning at 7 o'clock. But the fact that there is a big demand for tickets need alarm no one. The Sentinel has such arrangements with the railroad that there will be no lack of accommodations, no matter how big the crowd. There will be sufficient cars to accommodate everybody In comfort. The arrangements perfected by The Sentinel with the Monon railroad and the Columbia hotel are such that this paper Is enabled to offer an unparalleled opportunity to Its readers for Visiting the fair at the minimum cot. The Sentinel's proposition is this: It will convey visitors to and from the fair, giving them a ticket good to return in ten days. It will furnish them with four days' accommodations at a good hotel convenient to the fair grounds. And all this The Sentinel will furnish for $9.10 for each passenger. The price is cheaper than the visitor could get the hotel accommodations alone. It Is but little more than the cost of the round trip ticket alone. For visitors wishing to remain at the fair more than the four days a special rate will be made at the hotel. This is a most unparalleled offer. The Sentinel thinks its readers should all visit the fair and It proposes that they shall do so at the minimum expense. Tickets for this excursion ran only be secured at the counting room of The Sentinel, 21 and 2.1 N. Ililnois-st., where any further information desired will be cheerfully furnished. TWO Fit FIGHTS COLLIDE. Had Wreck Near Leipslc, O. En aineer Davis Killed. FT. WAYNE, Sept. 10. This morning a collision occurred on the New York, Chicago & St. Louis railway two miles east of Eeipslc, O., between two freight trains, Nos. 27 and 40, caused by the failure cf the telegraph ororator at Leipslc Junction to deliver an order. The weather was very thick and foggy and neither engineer discovered the approaching train until within 200 feet and they had but time enough to reverse their engines and apply the air brake to what few of the cars were equipped with air pipes and leap from their engines. Roth locomotives were entirely destroyed and fifteen cars of merchandise demolished. Jack Davis, engineer, was taken from under one of the cars dead. Perry Unrer, his fireman, had both legs crushed and scalded so badly that death is but a question of a few hours. Charles Merritt, engineer of No. 40, had his leg broken in three places and was internally Injured; Horace S. Roriehenver, fireman, was badly cut about the face and body. Three "brakemen were seriously Injured. ATTACK OS GLAIJSTOXn. The Iter. Mr. Duvles Publicly Insnlta the jKnatlah Premier. LONDON, Sept. 11. The sensation of the day here is an attack made yesterday upon Mr. Gladstone by the Rev, Frederick Davles. Mr. Gladstone, It appears, attended divine services yesterday at the episcopal church at Blalrgowle and the sacred edifice in honor of the premier's visit was packed with people anxious to see the great liberal leader. On previous Sundays It would seem the church mentioned has not been crowded with worshipers. The Rev. Frederick Davles, who was to preach the sermon, publicly Insulted Mr. Gladstone by refusing to shake hands with the venerable statesman before the service. In addition, during his sermon the clergyman vehemently condemned the pecple present for, as he claimed, coming to church for an unworthy motive, to worship a creature other than the Creator. The remarks of the Rev. Frederick DavieS caused much Indignation among the majority of those present. Raking- Pointer Swindle Expose. Information has reached this Company of the operations of an alleged wholesale grocery company of Cincinnati, who are taking orders or consumers for the Royal Baking Powder, but fillln? such orders with a cheap alum powder put up in square cans, without the Royal label. This is therefore to advise the patrons of the Royal Raking Powder that the Royal is put up in one way only. In cylinderlcal cans, sealed with the well known red and yellow label, containing the trade mark and name of the Company, and if any person claims to otherwise offer or sell It he Is practicing a fraud. It Is respectfully requested that any of Its friends who are aware of such attempts will advise this Company that the swindlers may be prosecuted. The Royal Baking Powder has been decided by the United States GOvernmentmint Investigation, and by the State Chemists, the best and greatest in leavening strength of Al! the baking powders of the country. iK-nce the attempts to use its name for the sale of all Sorts Of Inferior brands. The only safeguard for consumers Is to Insist upon an orlglral package of the Royal with an unbroken genuine label. Do not buy of peddlers or agents, but from your own local retail grocer. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 Wall-St.. N. T. Snake Charmer Bitten. CHICAJO. Sept. 10. Walter Ralston, known as "Rattlesnake" Ralston, a snake-charmer, Is in the county hospital dying from the effects of a bite by a rattlesnake. Ralston has been giving exhibitions In a dime museum and today was to try a new lot of rattlers which had Just been brought from Florida, and which it had been wagered by the man who brought them that he could not handle. Ralston went into the cellar to get the snakes when one of them slipped out Of the box and caught htm on the hand. IU flooded himself with whisky but his arm In a few minutes was frightfully swollen and the physicians at the hospital said he could not live. Bhortly after Ralston was bitten the report got out that all the snakes had escaped from the box and there was a frantic rush for the doors. A lively crush ensued and several people were bruised In tho struggle for the open air. None were seriously injured, however.

BOOMERS Hi LI,

Ready for the Opening of Cherokee Strip. The Work of Registration Now Going On. WOMEN ARE IN THE RANKS And Will Start In the Great Free-for-All Sprint. All Sorts of Schemes to Get Over tha Ground. It Is Estimated That There Are 20,000 Who AVIU Want to Ue Registered ProTlslons Not IMenty, Water Selling at Ten Cents a Cap Because of the Location of the Booths Auny from Any Convenient Place. CALDWELL. Kas., Sept. 11. The 12,000 strippers awaiting the opening of the Cherokee strip to settlement began registering at the government booths today. The booths opened at 7 o'clock and the first man in the long line, which crept back in serpentine curves into the prairie for a mile or so, stepped into the registration booth and entered his name in the big registration book. As he passed Into the next booth to secure his certificate another man took his place in the former booth and so on all day long the numbers in line were admitted one by one and fulfilled the first requirement of homesteading a claim in the .trip. As a rule the boomers are men and women of average intelligence. They had studied the president's proclamation carefully arid most of them knew Just what they wanted and how to get it before they applied for registration and their certificates. The clerks went at their business in a business like manner and the result was that, there was little trouble. The work went on rapidly, and during the first hour 150 homeseekers had been given certificates. During the following nine hours the rate of the issuance of certificates increased until 200 were Issued In th i last hour. The crowds were very patient and good humored, and not even a dispute occurred to destroy the tranquility of the strip. Several hundred ladies were registered before noon today. A large majority of the male strippers have proved themselves to be true disciples of Cheesterfleld and very gracefully resigned their places in line to some member of the fair scot. ThN, curtesy was highly appreciated by the women, as many of them would otherwise have been compelled to stand in line for hours. The strippers are all numbered as they fall in line and are allowed to leave their places and return to them at will. This plan was agreed upon by common consent and the rule is being enforced by the same authority. So far there has been no violation of or objection to It. The fortunate ones near the front are turning their advantage to good account by disposing of their numbers and places for 6ash. Some have been paid $3 for a place near the booth. The First Certificate. The first certificate was Issufd to Jonas Covey at 7:01 a, m. As fast as the stripper procure their certificates they begin skirmishing up and down the line looking for a level track of country over which to make the race. Every nation on the globe is represented and a knowledge of many foreign languages is necessary on the part of the booth officials to make them able to register, a great many of whom speak only a few words of badly butchered English. The sight of so many blooded horses is working the poorer class Into a frenzy anl If all doubt of a train entering is destroyed, many will grow desperate and turn "sooner." Everyone Is excited and all are talking and no one listening. It will be the greatest handicap ever run on American soil and worth Coming 1,000 miles to see. There is not the least doubt but that all will be registered, but it will require great patlenoo on the part of the officials and homeseekers. Every conceivable kind of eatable Is being peddled up and down the line and decks of cards are In demand. Those in line are playing "seven up" for places and amusing themselves In every way their fertile minds can originate. The road from the city to the booth is more crowded than a busy thoroughfare in a big city, with the greatest variety of vehicles ever congregated on one road. Many have two, three, and some have as many as six wheels. One man will make the race with a mule and a common bob-sled with steel runners. He claims the runners will glide over the grass With more ease than Wheels. D. B. Calhoun, living on the line, has built on the wheels of a seperator and will tat dinner In his house on his claim In the strip five minutes after 12 on the opening day. WorVc of ReRislcrlng. ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., Sept. 11. Nine clerks from Washington began today registering 20.000 homeseekers who are in this vicinity. During the first hour less than orte hundred certificates were issued, but as the clerks became more familiar with their duties they worked more rapidly. The record for the dar was 1.C8D. At this rate it is impossible for all to register before Saturday, when the Strip will be opened, unless the force of clerks Is increased. Owin to the dust that fills the air and the lack of water, those in there surfer. Water sells at 10 cents a cupful and 25 cents for a cAnteen. The Interior department Is bitterly condemned for locating booths on the strip, away from the water and shelter. John B. Cameron, a Kaniai City real estat man who had been waiting since 3 o'clock Saturday, received tha first certificate. Then a lot of women who had not stood In Una but to whom tha men gallantly gave way, were registered. Nora Wiley, fourteen years old, got through the crowd with two cups of coffee which she gave to the clerks, saying: "I am an orphan, and therefore the head of a family, r.nd I want to register for a town lot." 1h men displaced at first looked blankly at her and then cheered. The clerk gave her a certificate which she triumphantly waved aloft. The last two days have seen a great Influx Of boomers. Every road leading here has been filled with an unbroken procession of . wagons and every train

comes In crowded. The crowd now present exceeds that at the Oklahoma rush. On Saturday and Sunday there was a serious bread famine, it is almost impossible to gft anything to eat at the hotels or restaurants. About thirty wheelmen came in from Kansas City and St. Joseph today. The bicycle organization numbers over one hundred men who will make the run. Tnc county attorney has sent out deputy sheriffs to drive away three-card monte men and other sharpers who were swindling boomers. f NEW PILPIT ASSIGNMENTS.

YOUR CHANGE

FOR THE TORLffS FAIR. Monday, Sept. 18, is the time to go to Chicago. The weather will be pleasant, the big show will be at its best and the fare will certainly be at its lowest. The Sentinel has made arrangements to sell round trip tickets good for 10 days, carrying a coupon calling for four days' accommodation at a hotel which is only a few minutes' ride from the Fair gates, all for 59.10. Tickets are now on sale at the office of THE 11 21 and 23 N. Illinois St. Rrr Biir "Aü" nn innfliup Vm MINERS RIOT IN ENGLAND, SOLDIERS FIRE A DEADLY VOLLEY WOLWRIXG A MMHER. Ttto of Whom Have Since Died The Mol Wrecking the Oftlcea nnd Büdding: at Various Collieries Some Re tarn to Work. LONDON, Fept. 8. Lord Inasham's colliery, near Pontefract, presents today a most deplorable aspect. The colliery works are a mass of charred ruins and the total damage done to the property is such as to require at least three weeks to repair. It is doubtful if the men will be able to secure work there even at the expiiatlon of that time. The rioting there yesterday evening was of the most serious description. A mob of 8,000 men armed with huge clubs attacked the place and were met by the local authorities, headed by a magistrate, who read the riot act to the enraged men. The magistrate, although being backed up by twenty-five armed soldiers, tho rioters only yelled and hooted at the reading of the act and continued pressing onward. The officer in command of the troops then stepped to th front and drew his sword and ordered hl3 men to load with ball cartridges. Even this did not frighten the miners, who stoned the troops, hooted and pressed onward until the solJIers were ordered to fire. A deadly volley followed and the rioters were driven barfkward, leaving eight wounded men, two of whom have since died.

Presenilis Aanln at Ilrooklju After n. Lone Vacation. BROOKLYN, Sept. 10.-ReV. Dr. T. Do Witt Talma ge, after a vacation of almost six montrs, resumed the pulpit of the Brooklyn tabernacle today. The edifice was crowded. Dr. Talmage took for his text I Kings xx, 27: "And th children of Israel pitched before them like two little Hocks of sheep.' Said the preacher: "There are many who hive ventured the opinion that Christianity is falling back and that in fifty years it will be extinct. They founded their assumed opinion upon the assumed fact that the bible is not so much of a book as it used to be, and that portions of it are repulsive to the people. I reply by asking which one of the publishing houses of New York, Philadelphia, Boston or Chicago is publishing the bible with the omission of a single chapter? Are not our publishers intelligent men, and would they contrary to their financial Interests continue to publish the bible without such omissions If It was becoming unpopular and the people did not want It? The fact that more bibles are being printed in this decade than In any other proves that It is Increasing In popularity." A DIEL AT COXVILLE. Jcmfl Vnlnn ii nnd Henry Johnson Appen! to Anus.
