The usual method by which controversies over h-giidatlou are settled by an agreement to come to a vote have failed to carry and til-- world is now watching the decision of a g.v.'t financial question by a test of yhy.-i .ai endurance not unlike the games i f ti.'- iloman.i.

The conditi n a necessity tinder the rules by which the fenate operator. There is no manner in which a voie can be forced except by the tiring out of those who: e speechmaking obfctruots a natural and parliamentary settlement. The method is not a new one, us it has heretofore been resorted to on nrrnerous tcv ;iPions. All day Ion; there were evidences of preparation f.r the fight. Few senators were in the liuimLcr, but a glance Into the cloak-room. at; J a pe.C; into the committee reo. n showed many of them sleeping tin the combos and .-ofas husbanding their stivi g;h for a siege which they appreciated would test most severely every ti:;rb'y which they could muster. Forces on both Eides of the baitlo were divh'ed m as to be able to give each other relief by taking up the defense of their position in turn. The Cleat number of employes of the senate were likewise separated Into relays in anticipation of continuous work. The feerfc'eant-ut-arins, Cd. Ihlght, has every man on his pay-roll within call tonight, Relays of doorkeepers tire provided for the galleries and a n serve force id ready to guard the doors of the senate floor. Four nun are ready and waiting to hunt up senatcrs and request their attendance. The address of every senator has been carefully revised up to date and the sergeant-at-arms has compiled a mus of interesting Information as to the usual haunts of senators, In order that those who drift away may be tracked to their lairs. In the committee rooms couches and blankets had been prepared ani everything possible to make comfortable the situation which senators found themselves In wa.s done. As tho hour cf 6 o'clock approached, at which It was known the signal guns for the beginning of the contest would be oundod. the gradual Alling up of the seats on the flo-r anil In tho galleries made It evident that the fight was to go on and that the publie would watch It. When the house adjourned many of its metnbtrs entered the sonbte and took f etiLa on the sfn about the wall. Fpiker Ciip was among the number and was evidently keenly interested In the situation. The galleries at 6 o'clock did not contain an unoccupied seat and In the doorways was a mass of humanity clamoring for admission. Every moment the crowd was Increased by new arrivals until passage throurh the corridors became almost an Impossibility, and thousands, tiring of their efforts to Jln a view of the proceedings, turned homoward. The hum and buzz of conversation Increased until the voice of Senator Allen was almost drowned. Then the vice-president warned the occupants of the galleries that quiet must be obtained anl that unless It was the galleries would have to b cleared. When Senator Dubois rose to make his statement of the petition the antirepeal men would take, a huh fell over the assemblage, and tintil Mr. Voorhees had made his reply and Senators Harris and Putler had made plain their positions there was unusual quiet. The silver men had a considerable advantage over their opponents, and they were free to admit their pleasure over this condition, and while they can rest In the committee rooms and lobbies, leaving only on guard one speaker and Mr. Dubios to see that a quorum Is present. It Is obligatory on the part of the friends of repeal to remain continuously in their seats In order to maintain a quorum. SUSSIOV OK Tili: SEXATE. Messrs. Dubois and Voorhees Make Their Statements of the Case. When the senate met twelve senators were present to hear the chaplain's prayer opening a legislative day which may continue for more than one calendar day. The repeal bill was taken up at 11:45 a, m. and Mr. Cockrell, although quite hoarse, resumed his speech against the bill be-gun on Monday. Mr. Cockrell said the opponents of repeal stood today and would stand throughout the struggle ready arid anxious to pass the pending bill with amendments. Mr. Cockrell at 2:10 yielded the floor temporarily to Mr. Smith of New Jersey, who addressed the senate In favor of repeal. He said her had no chance to vote on the pending bill because of an Indisposition on the part of the majority to deprive the minority of what seemed to be considered its right the right to rule. Whether the fact that the Sherman law was still on the statute book was because of the unanimity of opinion that it should be repealed, he would leave to be answered by some one who was more familiar with the time-honored traditions of the senate than he was. (Laughter). Irby Oppose Repeal. When Mr. Smith had finished Mr. Irby of South Carolina addressed the senate In opposition to repeal. He said he poke as a farmer, being the only member of the senate whose sole occupation

was farming. He was opposed to the bill as a man and as a democrat. He believed In democratic principles as he did in the bible. "That is pretty rough on the bible," said a republican senator from New England. Mr. Irby said he would not be coerced. He despised the patronage which had been so ruthlessly withheld from 90 per cent, of the honest democrats of his state. If it were necessary to overpower democrats with republican votes In the senate he dared to tell democratic senaters that they could not revise the tariff. This he said, not as a. threat, but with reluctance and deep regret. If the democratic administration by the aid of republican votes overrode the wishes of South Carolina on the financial question he, for one, would not follow Its lead another step. As for himself he would not accept any compromise fhort of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. Mr. Cockrell then resumed the floor on the repeal bill. "If the present administration," said Mr. Cockrell, "was attempting to force upon the country the principle that silver dollars were to be redeemed in gold It was not democracy. If it was shown to be true he would say, 'halt, halt. The people are not ready for that. They will never sanction it, never." Mr. Cockrell concluded with a reference to the president's letter to Governor Northen. "The president wras fearful of the delay, but this was not extraordinary, for but one man In public life had more unfulfilled predictions than Mr. Cleveland, and thnt man was John Sherman." At 5:15 Mr. Cockrell completed his Ion ? speech. Ills voice was nearly gone and he could only Fhake his head In response to the Inquiry of the vice-president as to whether he had completed his remarks. After some routine business Mr. Allen of Nebraska took the floor to continue

his speech. Mr. Allen was still speaking ! whn at 6:T Mr. Dubois rose and, Mr. Allen yielding to him, ho oh served that j it was 0 o'clock, the hour when the sen- j ate usually adjourned. lie asked the i senator from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) whether he was going to make that motion this evening. "I feel It to be my highest duty," said Mr. Voorhees. "not to make that mo- j t i iii this eveninsr, but on the contrary, to nsk the sennte to stay together in continuous session until the pending measure Is dirpored of." DiiltoU oil (lie Co n 1 1 Ii u on Sennton. Mr. Dubois said the statement of the senator from Indiana mnt that tlr senate was to be held in continuous session tintil the pending bill was brought to a vote or tintil It was demonstrated thct it coul.l not be brousrht to a vote. Mr. Dubois said there had been no attempt at filibustering on the part of the nponents of repeal. On the many rllcalls that hud bom had In the Inst few weeks more senator friendly to silver had responded to their names than anti-silver senators. There had not been a time when the opponents of repeal could not have stoppi-d tli- business of the senate by simply refraining from voting. There were, he said, thiriy-n'.ne senators who favored unconditional repeal and thirty-eight who were opposed to unconditional repeal and would s vote. In addition to this the country had been drifting steadily to the silver side of the controversy. In conclusion Mr. Dubois said: "You know a well when you start In ns you will know when you emerge from the struggle that you must fall. With conditions as they exist In the senate there Is no hope of radical legislation. You are as likely to pass a bill for the free coinage of silver as to absolutely destroy silver. It looks as though you were trying to convince some tine outside of this chamber of something which you yourself know. Even if you suoceed in convincing these outsld parties the result will not Justify the ordeal which you will cempd senators to undergo. If you conclude to abandon appeals to reason, and to senee and to risk a settlement we desire tu give notice now that we shall protect our side by every means in our power. W'e -will Insist that you furnish the quorum and that you keep It constantly in thla chamber If it takes innumerable rollcalls. The responsibility for what It to follow must rest on you as well as Its physical effects on individual senators." Mr. Voorhees's Reply. Mr. Voorhees replied nt great length. He suggested to Mr.Dubols the wisdom of the saying, "Let not him that glrdeth on his armer boast himself as he that putteth It off." "We will see who will fall in this transaction before we are done," said Mr. Voorhees. "I feel that my feet are on a rock and there I shall stand and vindicate a groat and mighty principle. Hui before I say a word upon that subject I wdll ask the senator from Idaho whether he will fix a day to take a vote." Mr. Dubois said that there were distinguished senators who had not talked on the subject and, he could not nor could anyone else say when the debate would probably close. Mr. Voorhees started to press the question further, but apparently changed his mind anel said: "Without pressing the senator from Idaho I understand the situation perfectly well. There will be no day named. If there could be a day named by the opponents of this bill we woull come to an understanding directly. It is because obstruction Is resorted to, pure and simply, against legislation, that we are in the attitude we are now. We regret exceedingly to have to resort to the methods now before us." Mr. Hoar observed that continuous sessions were not an innovation, recalling the fact that the Diand-Alllsun bill was passed about S o'clock in the morning. Mr. Voorhees said this episode In the history of the senate would result in reforming the rules of the body.

KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rijrhtly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's bett products to the needs cf physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in tho remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative ; effectually cleansing the eystem, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction tc millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it U perfectly free from every objectionable substance. bv Co. only, whose name is printed on every packajre, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if oübred. heated discussion, he would vote for some measure ly which a determination of a question could be reached. "Otherwise this body will lose its proper ln;i:;enee and standing before the American people and before the world," said Mr. Voorhees. "I believe this body should have rules by which to conclude discussion and re-ach a vote, higher, more reasonable, more sensible and more tlecent than the rule on which we are entering now, which is the only one. The opponents of this bill will not name any day for a vote1. They will rc-sort to dilatory measures to prevent action being taken at all.

Hut it can be g -v ltnd by rules of its own making so as to make it a self-acting and proper and reasonable body of legislation." Trtider of Minorities. Mr. Voortices said when It fell to his fortune to manage the pending bill and he found how powcrhss he was It almost paralyzed the energies of his mind. He ne-vcr desired to be placed in that attitude again, nor did he desire to see any other man in that position, nor should he be if be could prevent lt. "I am tender of minorities," said Mr. Voorhees. "I would not Injure the minority, but shall the minority govern? Answer me. Shall the minority govern? Somebody has to rule; somebody has to control this government. Shall It be the minority or the majority? The senator from Idaho nignilies that ios.-lbly they had a majority. Then let us ascertain that by a voto and we will submit to it gladly, willingly, If we are tho minority. Will you? So. Then the question comes whether we have a government nt all. Tho question comes whether the senate can bo governed at all. "I stand here tonight not talking compromise. I stand for the rulo of the majority. A great deal has been said about compromise. In the last wefk. I have not shared in It. There is a mighty principle involved in this. "And I arn going to the end with it so far as I am personally concerned. If I go down I will go down with my flag nailed to the masthead. If a compromise is to take place on the principle that the minority has the rlsht to dictate, it will be by others, not by me not In the slightest." Mr. Voorhees said It had been suggested to him frequently by letter and in the press to go outside of the rules and app.-al to the presiding oflleer of the senate to sustain him in a motion not provided for in the rules, to proceed to a vote. "I would as soon," said he, "think of committing r.pon hlrh trt'oson or private murder aa to commit such a crime." Mr. Voorhees cited Instances recalled to his mind by the complaint that the debate en the pending bill had proceeded at too great length, of debate which occupied as long as seven months and yet certain moneyed classes had never taken notice- of the length of debate In the senate until the subject touched them. "And now," said Mr. Voorhees, "in default of any answer when a vote can be reached, I invoke the spirit of wisdom, fairness, patience and manhood on both sides and we w ill proceed. I have not a doubt of the result." W ill Not Atop the Wheels. Mr. Hanls of Tennessee, after referring to the courteous treatment all senators had ree:c-Ived at the hands of Senator Voorhees, remarked that If he had been the veriest of martinets he would have been powerless to secure action. "For myself," paid Mr. Harris, "and I know I voice the sentiment jot several senators on this side of the chamber, who like myself will never vote for the passage of unconditional repeal, I will never ask the senate to adjourn. Nor will I -vote for adjournment. The senator from Indiana shall have the session, so far as I can controll It, as long as he may desire it." "So say we all," Interpolated Mr. Jones of Arkansas. "I know I voice the sentiment of several senators on this side, who, like myself," said Mr. Harris," will never vote for unconditional repeal and who, with myself, would gladly meet upon any reasonable compromise ground. Itit If we can't do that, you (to Mr. Voorhees) will not be annoyed by any motions for adjournment. We will stay with you. (Laughter.) I am not quite as young as 1 was forty years ago, but I will stay here and answer the roll call." Mr. ltutler of South Carolina said Mr. Voorhees had gone one step beyond the Issue when he said the question now confronting the senate was whether the government should a.op, whether the enate was capable of self-government. "Is this country to be Impressed with the conviction that because the repeal bill canned pass the senate," asked Mr. Uutler, "there Is a revolution In the country and that the senate cannot govern Itself? I submit, in common fairness, to those who are opposing It that that conclusion is neither legitimate, logical nor fair." Mr. Dolph, representative of Oregon, read from the Congressional Record extracts from thd debate on the federal

byrup of i'i23 is for taie by ail drugpi? ts in 50c and $l bottles, but it is manufactured bv the California Fig Syrup

election bill some years to show that those on the democratic side had not always been willing for the majority to rule. The majority did not prevail on that occasion. "Did the senator read that to help the senator from Indiana?" asked Mr. Gray of Delaware. "I will stay as long as the senator from Indiana desires," replied Mr. Dolph. "But If It is demonstrated that there is no way to compel the attendance of senators and there falls to be a quorum, I am going home. I am not going to take part In the farce, as every attempt to sit out opposition to a bill since I came to the senate, ten years ago, has proven a farce." From 7 o'clock till" 11 o'clock the debate continued without any unusual features, Mr. Allen still retaining the floor. The crowd In the galleries did not diminish until after 11 o'clock when some of the visitors began to leave. Gradually the senators commenced vanishing and as midnight approached less than a dozen senators were in their seats. But the thunderous voice of the big populist from Nebraska showed no signs of weakening. Of the twenty-nine books which he had stacked up on his desk only three had been opened. The remaining twenty-six represented so much stored up ability to talk against time. Occasionally he would relieve himself by having the clerk read extracts and at such breathing spells mysterious whispered consultations were held with Senator Teller. At 11:55 p. m. Senator Dubois strolled Into the chamber and flashed his eye about him. The hour for roundinir up the absentees had arrived. He sat down and whispered a few words in Senator Teller's ear, while Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, looking like .the venerable Pickwick, peered at the pair from under the shade he was wearing to protect his eyes. Two years ago Senator Hoar was leadlnsr a similarly hopeless struggle to pass the fore bill over the determined opposition of these same obstinate silver senators. The First ItoH-Cnll. Exactly at 12 o'clock Mr. Dubois arose and remarked as he looked about the chamber: "Mr. President, I believe that a quorum 13 not present." The vice-president directed the clerk to call the roll. From the cloak rooms and entrances the senators crowded into the chamber. When the roll-call had been completed Mr. Stevenson announced that fifty-five senators were present a quorum, and directed Senator Allen to proceed. The Nebraskan promptly took the floor again and the quorum as promptly began disappearing through the cloak room doors. Mr. Allen began reading from Chad wick's political economy. Now and then he would pause to make a comment on a striking passage or take a sip from the dilapidated, overworked lemon that lay on his desk. The Seron! IlolI-CnII. At 12:45 a. m. Senator Dubois again called the attention of the vice-president to the fact that no quorum was present, and in obedience to the electrical signal the occupants of the cloak rooms again filed hastily Into the chamber. As the vice-president announced that fifty-three senators, a quorum, was present, Mr. ruinier, looking rather jaded und fagered out, called attention to the fact that Mr Dubois, who had asked for a call of the senate, had himself not answered to Iiis name. He wanted to know if that was proper in a parliamentary sense. The repealers were Knowing their teeth. Mr. Manderson wanted to supplement what Mr. Palmer had said by suggesting that an ab.-ent senator could not suggest the lack (if a quorum. This caused a smile, and Mr. Palmer went on to say that he understood Mr. Dubois was doing what had been delegated to him, and asked if that was consistent. Mr. White remarked sarcastically that it was as consistent as the general statement made by Mr. Dubois that the silver men had not resorted to obstruction. Mr. Alien indignantly repudiated the Intimation that he was taking part in a farce. If Mr. Dubois wan playing a part he did not know it. The subject of all this colloquy sat smiling in his seat, and Mr. Allen resumed his "speech." At 1 a. m. Mr. Hoar -wearily interrupted Mr. Allen to nsk htm if he was not reading to show that there was not an overproduction of agricultural products. He wanted to know candidly whether the Nebraskan did not think his speech was an overproduction. Mr. Allen hotly asked Mr. Hoar if he wanted to insult, him, whereupon the senator from Massachusetts purged himself, apologized humbly and equlllbrum was restored. At 1:43 the galleries were almost empty.

JtST WAItMIXO IT For he Slrngttlr to Gain Sllrer Itepenl. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 This morning notice was given of several amendments to facilitate business. The speech of Senator Jones of Nevada was one of the prominent features of the debate tn the Sherman repeal bill. The repeal bl'l was then taken up. The vice-president submitted the que-stlon whether the senator from Idaho (Mr. Dubois) for the reason given by him, should be excused from voting on the measure. By a vote of 25 to 37 the senate declined to excuse Mr. Dubois. His name was called ard he remained silent. No less than seventy-two senators responded, by far the largest number that has appeared on a roll-call this session. Mr. Pfeffer yielded the floor to Mr. Jones of Nevada and he addressed the senate against the bill. Mr. Jones paid It was denied that the bill was a proposition to place the United States on a gold standard, whereas the very vehemence of the denial was in itself suspicious. "Then the effect of the demonetization of silver," asked Mr. White of Louisiana, "would be to increase the rate of interest the people would have to pay." Senator Jones made the speech of the day and elicited many inquiries from the repeal senators, notably Gray, Vilas and Aldrlch. Mr. Jones asserted that whenever rates of Interest fall It Indicates that the purchas'e power of money Is Increasing. Rates of Interest, he said, had fallen in this country for twenty years. Mr. White suggested and Mr. Jones assented that remonetlzation of silver would increase rates of interest. "But," said Mr. Jones, "I have been better able to pay 8 and 10 per ccntInterest than I am now to pay 5 per cent." In reply to Mr. Vilas, he said he had no fear of monetary derangement if silver should be coined free as It would ge to a parity with gold In ten minutes. He denied that there was a store of silver bullion that would flow to this country. Silver In France, he said, was now selling at $1.32 per ounce and' India never gave up any sliver. At nearly 5 o'clock Mr. Voorhees complimented Mr. Jones upon his speech, and after inquiring if it would be agreeable to the latter moved at 5 o'clock that the Fenate adjourn. Before this Mr. Voorhees quoted John Taul Jones in his light with the Serapis, "We have just begun to fight," to Indicate that the repealers were as confident as ever. "Now. Mr. President." continued Mr. Voorhees. "In the last seventy-seven hours this body has been In session' fiftyeight hours, and we have been discharging a great public duty. With the concurrence of and upon consultation with the friends of the pending measure, I have a motion1 to make at this hour. Before I do so. however, I desire to correct any misapprehension that may prevail la some minds. There are very

eager minds in certain directions just at this time. I remember reading once with great interest an account of the battle of the first commander of the American navy. John Paul Jones, off the coast of Scotland bv moonlight with the Serapis and her allies. When the British commander asked him whether he surrendered he said in reply, 'I have only begun to fight.' "If there Is anybody who thinks that the frlend3 and advocates of this bill have surrendered or have It In contemplation I desire to answer in the language of the immortal hero of salt seas that we have only begun the fight, and with that I move that the senate now adjourn." The motion was agreed to and the senate at 1:03 adjourned until Monday at 11 o'clock a, m.

TRAP BY DinOIS AND TELLER. Which Precipitated the Roll-Call, Sboning No Qnormn. The tangle which the senate finally found itself in last night and which resulted in the adjournment of that body, was the outcome of a cleverly laid plot originated by Senator Dubois. The silver men knew that on roll-call, where pairs would have to be recognized, that the repeal members would not be able to obtain a quorum, though on a call of tho senate in which pairs could be violated, a quorum was present. The difTIculty then became to obtain a rollcall. Senator Teller examined the rules and discovered what proved to be a successful manner of bringing about the desired end. It is a rulo of the senate that except by unanimous' consent a public document cannot be read in that body If It has been previously read. Mr. Teller, during a call for a quorum, explained his scheme to Mr. Peffer, who was speaking, and a few moments later Mr. Peffer, from the mass of manuscript that he had on his desk, resurrected a public document and began to read it with great deliberation. Immediately Mr. Teller was o'j his feet and objected to the reading. He raised a point of order gainst the reading and after some debate the chairman made a decision from which an appeal was taken and a roll-call ordered. This was what the silver men were looking for and on the roll-call it was developed that no quorum was present. It was then that the repeal men stepped into another trap. Mr. Vilas tried to force Mr. Dubois to vote and a long debate ensued. An effort was made to take a vote that the senate should not excuse Mr. Dubois from voting and on the roll-call another lack of a quorum was developed and the senate was forced to adjourn. The pending question now becomes the effort to have Mr. Dubois vote and It Is the intention of Mr. Vilas to have Mr. Dubois censured. This, it is stated, will bring out a nice constitutional question which will develop a debate which the silver men claim will last for a month at least and thus tho time of the senate will be given to another question and will be this much Occupied. HI'MOltS Ol' COMPROMISE. SUM u Crent Deal of Talk Hot othiiiftf Deli ti He Known. Today has been pregnant with rumors of compromises and agreements on the silver question. That senators representing various factions have been together was an easily ascertained fact, but the result of those conferences is In many cases a matter of pure conjecture. Still enough is known to lead to the conclusion that mutual concessions were made and the statements of senators justify the hope that before next week shall have passed into history there will be a forward movement toward a settlement of the question that has been vexing the senate and the American people. Just what the compromise will be cannot be paid, but the idea that meets with most favor contemplates the following provisions: The rejeal of the Sherman act to take place four years hence, the purchase of silver bullion being meantime reduced to something like 2.CMO.OO0 ounces a month: an amendment to the law of 1S75 authorizing the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds, that such bonds shall Ii- redeemable live years from date, and that the interest shall not exceed per cent. The retirement of all treasury and other notes under $10 in value when they shall come into the treasury' i" the ordinary course of business and the substitution therefore of sliver certificates or coined sliver, the bullion now in the treasury and the sflsiiorage to be coined for this' purpose. SIMMON OF TIIIJ IIOISE. iJlacuaxlafC tlie ;-! r- 1 n it nml t!ie Mr reary Ulli. The house was almost deserted this morning. Chairman Itlley of the Pacific commission had passed a resolution, which called upon the attorney-general for fall information-as to the receivership proceedings and what the United States propsed to do; also, if in any way the proceedings affect the interests of the United State. The resolution was adopted without debate or division. The bill making South Dakota a United States district was passed. Mr. Weaduck called up the bill to amend the act requiring that not lesa than 100 worth of work should be done on every mining claim under penalty of a forfeiture be suspended for three years; providing that the pejon desiring the benefit of this act could file notice of bis intention to hold and Work said claim. Passed. Debate on the McCreary bill was then resumed. Mr. McGulre took the floor to complete his speech of yesterday. Those who Understood the destructive influence of the Chinese, he said, are in perfect accord with the people of the Pacific. Mr. Outhwalte of Ohio, in his report on the bill, said that unless the Geary act was extended congress must provide $7,000,000 for deporting the Chinese. Mr. Fverett of Massachusetts defended the course of the attorney-general in not enforcing the Geary act. Mr. Geary here interrupted to call attention to the fact that in 1S92 Secretary Blaine dismissed the remonstrance on the ground that the Chinese themselves were responsible for it. Mr. Hermann of Georgia criticised the administration for not enforcing the Geary law. Mr. Williams of Mississippi supported Mr. Geary's admendment. He said he Chinese had taken over $300,000,000 from this country, and that no other state but California could stand the drain. At 5 p. m. the house adjourned. The (.oltl Reaerve. The large payments on account of pensions by the government during the present month have begun to show on the books of the treasury and the net currency balance which heretofore this month has been increasing steadily shows a decrease todj-, having fallen oft over half a million since yesterday. The net currency balance today Is $19,6CS.873 and the net gold in the treasury $83,981,674, making a net working balance of $103,6r0.5ri7 as against a working balance of $100.875,633 on the first of the month. The net gold reserve in the I treasury has decreased nearly $10,000,- , 000 since the first of the month and the i net currency has increased over $G,000,1 000. The receipts of the government during the first half of the month amounted to $11.673,000 and the expendi- , tures to $13,153,oort. Further reports received at the office of the comptroller i of the currency of the condition of national banks at the clese of business on Oct. 3 show that their reserves are In good shape and In nearly all cases highar thaoi at the time of the last calL

The Valkyrie Makes a Spurt with Her Spinnaker But the Vigilant Overhanls Her In Good Style The Kngiish Hoot Splits Her Spinnaker or the Rennlt Mlnlit Have Ileen Different Yarhtmen Pronounce It the Finest Race In Years. NEW YORK. Oct. 13. For the third time the. Vigilant has passed the Valkyrie and the America's cup will stay in ths country for another year. With plenty of wind, with a splendid sea, and in almost Ideal weather for yachting, the beautiful boat passed the line, and amid the blowing of whistles and the cheering of men, while women waved their handkerchiefs, the flagship May hoisted the colors of the Vigilant. The Vigilant was the first on the ground, and soon the Valkyrie came down in tow of her tug. After some preliminary maneuvering the gun from the flagship declared the third and last race had begun for the cup. The wind at the start was squally, and it was feared the yachts would not have all they wanted. Fortunately, however, this proved a mistake of the prophet, for, after a short time, it blew steadily once more. The racers made a short board on the starboard tack, but changing, foon took a long run to port; apparently their positions did not change. The Valkyrie came about and made a short board to the starboard, the Vigilant followingly her closely. Then again to port both boats turned. The friends of the Vigilant declared she pointed a little closer to the wind than her rival. The Valkyrie turned the stake with its red flag at 2:31 and the Vigilant followed at 2:33, apparently the leader by one and one-half mlnutoa at the first, having not been changed. The Valkyrie's Spart. As she swept by the waiting, steamers the Valkvrle at 2:30 set her silk spinnaker, which glistened like a sheet of silver in the wind. In two minutes the sheets were home, and the great sail was pulling and tugging like a living thing. The effect was Immediately apparent. The Valkyrie drew away from her rival as though the latter was tied down, but the sheets of the Vigilant went home, and she. too, leapeel forward. Then tho Valkyrie douced her Jib and forestay sail and set a balloon staysail In place. The Vigilant hauled her balloon' Jib slowly up to the topmast head and set it. She seemed to fairly jump In the water. From that time it was a foregone conclusion that the Valkyrie would be beaten again. As the white boat drew ud behind she blanketed her rival and the silk spinnaker fell in graceful folds for a time. It was not long, however, before the Vigilant had made a cast to the south sufficient to enable her to pass and the Valkyrie's sails filled once more. The estimated three-fourths rule between the boats fell rapidly and nt 2:30 the end of the bow sprit of the Vigilant was in line with tho Valkyrie's stern. At 3:30 it had reached her bowsprit bead, and nt 3:33 a line of open water appeared between the two. This time tho Vigilant was in the lead. Now the whistles screamed and the people applauded, A Spilt Spinnaker. Suddenly nt 3:31 the men on the Valkyrie were stvm runnlnsr to nnd fro and then a Klance showed the spinnaker had been spilt in two flapping ribbons. Down it came by the run and in a few seconds a new one was in place and bHr.g hauled up and bheeted home. The work of the crew was so quick that at 3:33 half the new sail was in place and drawlnpr to for the two boats were very close. Meantime the Vigilant wag driving ahead, everything pulling and the distance between herself an hr rival gradually widening. She was a picture as she tore along under main sail gaff, topsaJl spinnaker and balloon Jib, every thread drawing and the yacht waUng her tall masts 6llghtly from side to side. A flash from the flagship May as the Vigilant passed the line between herself and the lightship was echoed and prolonged by all the whistles in the fleet. The cheering filled the air, even the wind, strong as it was, could not blow this away. Fluent Rare In Years. It was a magnificent race, the finest seen in years. It is impossible to say, with this record, which is the better boat in such a wind as that of today. Forty seconds on a boat to windward of flftene miles and return is so close that the splitting of the Valkyrie's spinnaker might easily account for it. The following is the official record of the race, as supplied by the flagship May: Corrected time: Valkyrie. 3:23:19; Vigilant. 3:24:39. F.lapsed time: Valkyrie. 3:26:52: Vigilant, 3:24:39. Time passed finish line, Valkyrie, 3:53:52; Vigilant, 331:39, Vigilant winning by forty seconds. coxrennxen of ciiauities. Third State Conference In Terre Hunte, Feb. 21-S3, JS'.M.

Xenrly Sis llnndred Ilorors Are Cremated. CHICAGO, Oct. 12. Frenzied with' fright and driven into a stampede by a raging fire that broke out tonight In the Wallaee-st. barns of th Chicago city railway company, nearly tix hundred, horses were burned to death. The barns w ereer.tirely destroyed and the total less e tailed ty the company will reach, a high figure. The building was a twostory brick affair, which extended 400 feet on V.'all.ice-i-t. and r.incty feet oa Thirty-r.'nih-st. The fire when first discovered was In the northeast corner of the upper floor and it was not thought to be a serious blaze, but it gained rapidly on the tiremen and before much of anything could be done to save the horses the entire building was in flames. The cumber of hostlers around the building was not large, and though they did their best and were aided by men from the "rapidly gathering crowd, they were able to res cue but few of the poor beasts. All the horses were on the first floor and In tern minutes after the tire was discovered they were helpless. They were blinded by the flames and tha smoke that rolled through th-3 place la great volumes and soon a stampede was In progress. The animals surged back and forth in groups cf fifties and hundreds In their efforts to escape. Their loud neighing and an occasional cry cf pain bold the people cn the street of th fearful scenes that were being enacted, on the Inside. Yet little or nothing could at first be done to save any of the animals. Gradually the sounds of the stampede grew fainter and it was apparent that they were being killed off rapidly, and when the first group of firemen had fought their way into the barn they saw charred carcasses lyins about oa ever side. In the south end of the barn wera gathered about seventy-five horses. They were huddled together so compactly that! they appeared as one mass. The men pushed forward, hoping to drive then out, but they themselves were compelled to retire by tho heat and rraoke. Ten minutes later they were able to again make their way inslle. Dut the group of horses was much smaller. Fifteen only had survived and they were driven over the dead bodies cf the others ta tho nearest door and taken out In safety. In the burned building were 578 horses and In the upper story were thirty cars. There were also 2C3 tons cf hay and T.O) bushels cf mixed grain. Soon after the fire started tlie floor fell and with it the heavy cars and tons of grain ar.d hay. About seven leen fcorsea were killed outright, it is believed, by being crushed beneath this mass. The orluln of the Cre U a my6tery James E. Weatherwax, barn foreman says that he heard an explosion Just before he first saw the fire. "'I was standing outside," he said, "when I heard a report. I went to the door and saw flams coming through th celling. I also sent in an alarm and then went back to help Cght the flr and rescue the horses. I cannot account for th explosion." The total loss Is estimated at $120,003. SLM.IVAX HAS A SIMRATIOJfS. If Corbelt Palls to Whip Mitchell John I- M'tll Try It. CEDAIt HA FIDS, Oct. 14 In an Interview here I. J.
