WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. At 7:2C by a vote of 43 to 3l the senate, after one of the mos-t remarkable and memorable parliamentary battles of a generation, passed the bill unconditionally repealing the purchase clause of the Sherman silver law. The end was reached at the conclusion i of a continuous session of fourteen days, !

a.egi3 of senatorial courtesy was no protection In the last moments. Grayhaired men Inflamed by the fiery pas- ( siQns that always characterize the close of a . bitter contest, did not spare each other. Senator Morgan, with words that fairly burned. " heaped his denunciation on Senator Voorhees, the leader of the administration forces, and Senator Wolcott, the Colorado hotspur, concluded a fierce philippic against Senator Carey with the Spanish proverb of "Sancho Panzo;" that "it was a waste of lather to shave an ass." Cloning? Speeches. The silver republicans. Teller, Stewart. Dubois, Wolcott and Jones. Peffer the populist and Morgan, the old war governor of Tennessee, and Harris, each mad a ills valedictory. TJe democrats were hot and angry at the desertion of some of their colleagues that made the defeat possible. The populists admonished the senate that the doom of silver was the doom of old parties, but there was something tragically pathetic in the despairing cry of the silver senators. It meant, they said, ruin and destruction and desolation to the silverproducing states. Senator Jones, with an emphasis that will never be forgotten by those who heard him, warned those about him that the end of the fight marked but the beginning of the battle that would be waged before the people. In tones deep and tragic he repeated Dundee's famous defiance of Gordon: There be hills beyond Pentland, And Friths beyond Forth; If there he lords in the lowlands. There be chiefs In the North. Senator Stewart had the last word. "When the white-bearded Nevadian, looking like an ancient patriarch, sank tack In hla seat Vice-President Stevenson for the last time announced that the bill was before the' senate for amendment. He paused. Senator Voorhees, the tall sycamore of the "Wabash, arose. Tbe Derisive Moment. The decisive moment had come. The Vice-president flashed his eye about the chamber. The galleries leaned over. The flood of light from the glass paneled ceiling poured down upon the senate. The chamber was still as death. Not a soul stirred. Every one seemed to hold his breath. "If there are no further amendments," eald the vice-president slowly and solemnly, "the clerk will call the rolL" "Mr. Allen," began the clerk. The suspense was over. The rubicon had been passed. The roll was at last being called on the final passage of the bilL From all over the chamber came a sigh of relief. Mr. Wand, the silver champion of the house, stood like a statue behind the senate desks while the roll was called. Mr. Sherman and

Mr. Voorhees, facing' each other bolt upright, did not move ; a muscle, Mr. PefTer stroked his beard. Mr. Mills and Mr. Coekrell traced Impatiently up and down the area In front of the vice-president's chair. Mr. Hill Eat In the front row talking to his late antagonist, Mr. Butler. It took almost ten minutes to call the roll and arrange the pairs. When the vice-president announced the vote Mr. Voorhees straightened up to his full length. It was a personal victory for him. "I now move." said he, with a note of triumph In his voice, "that the senate adjourn until tomorrow at 12 o'clock." Before the question could be put the occupants of the galleries were jostling each other in their attempts to crowd out of the doors. The senators fled from the chamber. In sixty seconds none but a few employes remained upon the scene. The long battle was over, the field deserted.

THE DAY'S IMIOCEEDIAGS. Speeches by Various Senator The Vote In Detail. When the senate at 11 o'clock thL morning entered upon the thirteenth week of the present extraordinary session a roll-call showed the presence of fifty-two senators. When the consideration of the bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act was resumed Mr. Ilunton of Virginia in a few words defined his position. Mr. Cameron of Pennsylvania made a statement &s to his position on and views opposing the repeal bill. Mr. Morgan of Alabama then addressed the senate. The situation in the senate seemed to him to be a very lamentable one, one which he could speak of only with pain and which he could contemplate only with serious apprehension for the future welfare of the country. Mr. Morgan said the passage of the bill would be an irrevocable surrender to the demands of the most corrupt, insolvent and overbearing corporations. Mr. Morgan then read slowly and with great emphasis these sentences from Mr. Gorman's speech of Saturday: "We were compelled to take the terms Offered bv the senator from Ohio uiviaiu I.KJ ILL'. Again quoting from Mr. Gorman's speech, Mr. Morgan read a sentence , as to Mr. Sherman laying down the conditions. "He laying down a condition to demouVfy. "Wh hh7ÄÄv lay down conditions to It? What Is your majority here worth (addressing the democratic senators thna tHfll n-ith thus deceived, thus overrun and finally handed over to the tender mercies of the senator from Ohio?" Mr. Morgan ss.ld he had signed the proposed compromise, and had done so in order to have peace and harmony In the democratic party. "Commit suicide." said Mr. Morgan, with much bitterness, "because you can't get a chance to live on fair and even terms with your friends and neighbors." Vest and Coekrell. Mr. Vest followed Mr. Morgan. lie expressed sympathy with the people of the silver states and said no czar or kaiser would desolate an insurrectionary province as congress was about to desolate the silver states of the West. He argued that the seigniorage in the treasury should be coined and ridiculed the business method which would allow this vast sum of $3.000,000 to lie idle in the treasury and then sell bonds to secure gold. Mr. Coekrell of Missouri argued that at tho last election the tariff question and not the financial question had been pressed to the front and the democratic party secured a victory. Leading democrats had expected that if there was to be an extra session it would be called to rrform the tariff. Hut now that the election was over, tariff was lost sight of and" the senior senator from New York (Mr. Hill) was beheld pitching to the front headlong on the linanclal question. The Hon at one end of the avenue and the tiger at the other (facing Mr. Hill) were coming together In a fond embrace. (Laughter.) Mr. Coekrell reviewed the history of the repeal bill in the house and senate, showing that it was reported to the senate by two democrats. Messrs. Voorhees and McPherson, and four republicans Messrs. Allison. Aldrich. Morrill and Sherman a non-partisan measure, the partisanship all being on the republican side. The bill was to pass, paid Mr. Coekrell. It had been taken out of the hands of democracy and republican senators had to be consulted, but nothing- could be done and the republican party would be infinitely more responsible for unconditional .repeal than would the democratic party. "Undoubtedly," acquiesced Mr. Hale. "Glorious victory for the senator from Ohio," said Mr. Coekrell. "after twenty years bringing a democratic administration back to his law of 1R73." Mr. Coekrell closed with the statement that If the repeal of the Sherman law failed to restore prosperity the republican party must bear the responsibility. Mr. Carey of Wyoming defended hi position on the repeal bill. Mr. Carey said he should vote for unconditional repeal although he favored a compromise. Woleott'a Quotation. Senator Wolcott replied to Senator Carey's references to himself saying they were petty and mean and dismissing the question with the quotation that "It Is a waste of lather to shave an ass." Carey responded by saying that Wolcott left-Colorado last fall to avoid taking part in the campaign and read a magazine article charging that the senators from Colorado and Nevada had traded their votes on the force bill for votes for free coinage. Senators Harris and Teller both asserted that statement was flse and Mr. Teller declared that Mr. Carey knew It to be false. Mr. Washburn explained how he had chanced t,o undertake a few weeks since

' to speak for Mr. Carey and was followed by Mr. Dubois who spoke upon the pending bill. At 5:10 p. m. Mr. Stewart offered an , amendment to the repeal bill reducing: the gold in gold com3 25 per cent., but accepted a negative verdict without calling for the yeas and nays. Mr. Pasco offered his amendment for the free coinage of silver with a seigniorage charge to be bap-xl upon the market price of silver. It was defeated on

roll call by a vote or 20 yeas to 47 nays. General debate resumed and Mr. Jones f Nevada took the floor at 3:20 to conclude his speech In opposition, to the bill. ' Moves to Aujonrn. At 6:20 p. m. Mr. Harris of Tennessee asked Mr. Jones if it would suit him to have the senate adjourn. Mr. Jones said it would, and Mr. Harris moved j that the senate adjourn until 11 o'clock ! tomorrow. He remarked that he did i not think senators were required to sit : unreasonable hours In order to complete the decree already understood by all the people. Mr. Morrill suggested whether an agreement could not be male that the final vote on the bill be taken at 1 o'clock tomorrow. Mr. Harris said he had no authority to answer for anybody but himself, and he had been ready for days and was ready now to vote. Mr. Faulkner was satisfied that no agreement could be made, and said that Mr. Voorhees was anxious to dispose of the bill tonight. Mr. Voorhees said he hoped the bill would be disposed of tonight, and Mr. Jones indicated a desire to proceed with his argument. Mr. Harris withdrew his motion. Mr. Peffer said he desired to occupy filti-en mlautes before the vote was taken, as he would not feel that he had done his duty did he not enter another protest against what he considered the crowning infamy of the present century. Mr. Harris declared that the passasre of the repeal bill meant unmistakably the utter demonetization of silver as a money metal. "I want to state to the senator from Indiana and the balance of the world." said Mr. Harris, "that the time has not been, it i3 not now nor can it ever come when I will desert the convictions of a life-time in order to obtain allies from the camp of the enemy. (Laughter and applause). Mr.- Stewart rose, and hi3 first sentence, "The die is cast." caused a ripple of laughter to roll over the galleries. "The surreptitious and fraudulent act of 1S73 demonetizing silver is ratified and confirmed." said he; "the gold kin?s are victorious. The labors of their champion, the senator irom Ohio (Mr. Sherman) are crowned with success." At 7:20 the vice-president put the question on the engrossment of the amendments and. third reading of the bill, which was agreed without division. The vote was then taken by yeas and nays on the passMg? of the bill as amended. The vote resulted yeas, 43; nays, 32 so the bill as amended was passed.

He Demands KR.OOO on n Tip on the Slur Wet In Cnstody. NEW YORK. Oct. 30. Edwin Gould, second son of the late Jay Gould, and coheir of the latter's millions, had his first startling experience with the genus crank this afternoon. Mr. Gould was sitting In his private oflice in the Western Union building at 2 o'clock when he was disturbed by the sudden entrance of a stranger. As he looked up from his desk he saw a slight, undersized man, shabbily but neatly dressed, with pale face and small black mustache. The gleam In the man's eye told Mr. Gould that he had a crank to deal with, even before the fellow spoke. The crank walked steadily toward Mr. Gould and when he got close to him said In a threatening manner: "Give me that $5.000 and give it to me quick, or give me the tip on the market." "Sit down Just a minute," said Mr. Gould, "until I get the money out of the safe." The crank sat down and Mr. Gould stepped to a side door. He opened the door and out walked Detective William Clark of the Central office. "Come with me and we'll get the money," said the detective. The crank bowed his hea'i and walked out of the office with the detective. In the hall Clark put the handcuffs on the wlldeyed man, and half an hour later he was at police headquarters. Mr. Gould Lad been prepared for his crank visitor by one of his clerks. A week ago the young man went into the office and asked the clerk if Mr. Gould i was in. eBlng told that he was out of j the city the man said he had nothing to do and would call again.. Ills next call was at noon today. Mr. Gould was ; expected in at 1 o'clock, so the crank said: "Tell Mr. Gould I will be here at 2 o'clock. I want a tip on tbe market. If he don't want to give me that he can give me $5,000." At police headquarters thfe crank said his name was Mongolia Andrews and that he was thirty-four years oil. His object in going to Mr. Gould wa3 to be repaid $3,000 which he had lost in Itosedale, Kas., while working on a railroad In the Gould system. When searched there was found a note in Andrews's pocket addressed to Edwin Gould, which reads: "When Western Union goes to 100 I want to get a small smash at bucket shops, please answer." "ANDREWS." .

CLOSE OF THE FAIR

Not with a Program of Festivity as Intended But with Exercises Brief and Impressive. HARRISON'S TRAGIC DEATH The Theme of the Meeting at 'Festival ' Hall. Reading of the Speech of President Higinbotham. Itesoln ( tons of the Committee Read by the Latter rrcsldent Palmer of tbe National Corn tnl Ion Annonnees the Clone of the exposition Ferd W. I'ecU Favors Frese-vlngr Some of the Fair Building. CHICAGO, Oct. SO. The official life of the world's fair has ended. This evening was to have been one of gaiety and dazzling brilliancy, but the death of Mayor Harrison changed all that. The meeting at Festival hall during the afternoon was brief. The audience was detained Just long enough to hear an earnest prayer by the Rev. Mr. Darrows, a few explanatory remarks regarding the change of program by Tresident Palmer, the reading of an appropriate speech by President Higinbdtham and the resolutions of sympathy concerning Carter Harrison's untimely end. These resolutions were read by II. N. Higinbotham, president of the world's Columbian exposition, who began in a clear, firm voice, which grew husky and trembled for a moment with emotion when a certain passage In the resolutions was reached. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Higinbotham had been long associated. The fair was declared closed by Thomas W. Falmer, president of the national commission, in the following words: "It was intended to close this fair simultaneously ( with the sound of this gavel, the firing of artillery and the lowering of the fia. All that has been changed by the sad circumstances which bring us together now. I announce that when the sun sets the closing will be marked only by a salute and the hauling down of the flag. When that takes place I declare, in obedience to the act of congress, the exposition Is officially closed." : Mr. ..Ifjtlnbr Tiam's Speech. Before giving the beneuictiohtne Rev. Mr. Barrows announced that he had been requested by the committee to read the speech President Higinbotham had written for this day prior to Mr. Harrison's demise. The speech was as follows: "This Is not the time for oratory. A duty calls us together which we must perform, though it fills us with sadness. The hour is at hand when our festival must close, and when the material things of which it is composed must turn back to the four quarters of the globe and the structures which sheltered them to the elements out of which they were created. "This is not the time for exultation over our victory, except so far as to recognize that without the favor of God that guided the frail craft of the voyager, 400 years ago, to this land, it could not have been achieved. Exultation would be undignified. Gratitude to the Almighty is the only feeling that I can harbor in my breast except the sorrow which this closing hour evokes. We are turning our backs upon the fairest dream of civilization and are about to consign It to the dust. It is like the death of a" dear friend. It is like bidding farewell to one's youth. It is like all those times In the life of a man when the thoughts of the present are choked with the emotions of the past. At such times, the call of duty alone can uplift the heart and arouse it to meet the things that are yet to come. That call Is upon each one of us now. It echoes In the hearts of all that have been touched by these wonders which God has brought to pass. It bids us learn the lessons of the past season, to the everlasting benefit of ourselves and our children. It bids us appropriate to ourselves the imperishable parts of this high feast of the arts, industries and sciences, and so embalm them in memories treasure-house so that they may be best preserved and produce the largest fruits in the generations to come. "Let's go forward to meet the duties of the future without fear, sustained by the faith- that what we have wrought j will endure and forever stand as a i beacon light, guiding others to loftier nights and greater achievements." The Resolutions. Following are the resolutions that were adopted: "A deep and heartfelt sorrow has fallen upon the closing hours of the world's Columbian exposition. Death, come as it may, leaves as a heritage to the living mental pain and suffering. I Immeasurably Intensified when Its agen-

i cy Is a cowardly and Infamous assassin. "Nothing has ever occurred in our J midst that has so disturbed and distressed our citizens as the very wicked and wanton termination of the life of the Hon. Carter II. Harrison. The tranquility of the city has been shaken as if by an earthquake. The officials of the world's Columbian exposition, the commissioners and representatives of all foreign countries and the commissioners of the several states, mourn the loss of an honored official and lay upon tha altar preserved and kept sacred his memory In the hearts of all hiä friends, this humble tribute of respect and admiration. Speaking of all here assembled, representatives of the various Interests that have made this exposition so grandly successful both in its national and international character, , we claim that Carter II. Harrison was something more than chief magistrate of this metropolitan city. As a director of the world's Columbian exposition he at all times sought to Impress upon the exposition Its true national and international character and to emphasl.e the fact 1hat , it was promoted by. and in the interest I of. the peoplo of all the world. To all

our friends, without distinction of race or nationality, his welcome has been cordial, generous and unstinted, and none in his representative capacity could have more thoroughly attested the generous hrrpitality of this city whose chief magistrate he was. ' Tour committee be-s leave to submit the following resolutions: "Resolved, That the foregoing minute be adopted by this assembly, consisting of the officials of the world's Columbian commission, the world's Columbian exposition, the repräsentatives of foreign nations and the commissioners of the several states and territories, and that a duly engrossed copy thereof, under the hands of the president of this assembly and the chairman of the Joint committee on resolutions, be transmitted to the family of our deceased brother. Carter II. Harrison, and that copies thereof be also delivered to the world's Columbian commission and the world's Columbian exposition. Be It further "Resolved. ThJt we commend and approve the order of the director-general rescinding the order heretofore Issued for closing ceremonies, but we deem it proper and advisable that the several officers appointed to address this assembly upon the several subjects assigned them respectively, as a part of the closing ceremonies of the exposition, be requested to deliver such papers to the secretary of the world's Columbian commission to be filed and made a part of the records of the exposition." Favors Preserving the Unildlugs. When the gates at Jackson park are cloeed tonight and the official life of the fair has been brought to an end the most serious problem remaining to be solved will be how to best dispose bf the tuildings. Many answers have been given, but as yet nothing at all definite has been done. However, upon one point all are agreed.that if It Is possible some of the buildings should be preserved. Ferd W. Peck, vice-president of the world's fair, speaking of the exposition and the work of demolition, said: "It surely will be a wrong to the American public If these magnificent buildings are at once turned over to the destroyers. We have here a lesson In architecture which should be preserved. It may be impossible to continue the fair another year, but certainly we may retain the buildings. I am in favor of preserving the court of honor for an indefinite length of time. This can be dene without great expense. I am told bv Director of Works Hurnham that for $20,000 we can paint the peristyle and the buildings facing the court of honor. If this is done at once the staff will remain strong for several years. The millions who have enjoyed the beauties of the place this summer will unanimously approve the idea of preserving them." Total raid Attendance. The total paid admissions at the world's fair from the opening day, and Including today, was 21,48,910. divided as follows: May 1,050.037 June 2,e75,113 Julv 2.760.203 August 3.515.433 September 4,653.902 October 6.799,102 The total admissions on passes, including the employes of ail kinds, exhibitors, concessionaires, etc., have been 5,953,818. Todav's admissions reached a total of 242,575, of which 203,173 paid. lhe Fair's Finances. When Chairman Peck of the finance committee figured up with Treasurer Seeberger today he found the exposition had just $2.515.000 In bunk and In the souvenir coin fund. Estimating the receipts at $150,000 more than the cost of administration for the day, the balance on hand at midnight Oct. 30 was nearly $2,750,000. Of this sum nearly $1,000,000 Is souvenir coins, counted at their face value of 50 cents each. The total revenue from concessions for the six months was in the neighborhood of $3,750,000. from which deductions were allowed amounting to about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for improvements paid by the concessionaires. Receipts from admissions and minor sources ajrgregite about ten million, five hundred thousand dollars, not including salvage. Altogether the treasury has received over fourteen million dollars since the first day of May from gate receipts, concessions and Incidental sources of revenue. Against the income from all sources Including $4.500.000 of bonds and $5,500.000 of stock there has been a charge of Jl'J.OW.OOO for construction and the operating expenses have bsen about $7.000,000. Up to and Including the closing day the stockholders1 have a prospect of between 15 and 20 per cent, on their subscriptions. Whether the dividend will be paid In the end depends on the cost of removal of the buildings and closing up the affairs of the corporation. CAPT. HOWARD'S SlICIDH.

It Was Caused ty Ills Infatuation for BIrs. Illoss. LONDON, Oct 20. The Star today publishes a romantic story which Is said to be a sequel to the suicide on Thursday last of Capt. the Hon. Charles Howard, brother of the earl of Effingham, who killed himself with a pistol at his residence. 34 Evelyn terrace, this city. Capt. Howard, who was a captain In the Cold Stream guards, at one time was married to the eldest daughter of the earl of WInchilsea and Nottingham. According to the story told by the Star, the death of Capt. Howard was brought about by his Infatuation for a young and pretty woman, who shot herself on Saturday. A friend of Mrs. Bloss, the young woman referred to, Is quoted as saying that Capt. Howard often visited her, and that some days previous to his suicide the captain was informed that his wife was aware with his Intimacy with Mrs. Bloss and that she had taken the steps necessary to commence a suit for divorce against him. The captain and Mrs. Bloss apppear to have been so apprehensive of the result of the exposure which the divorce proceedings would bring about, and they seemed to be o infatuated with each other, that they determined to die in each other's company. With this object In view, Capt. He ward and Mrs. Bloss are said to have purchased poison with the intention of partaking of It together, but something seems to have made them change their minds, for the captain shot himself with a revolver at his home, where he was i found dead by a servant, sitting In- a 1 chair in the smoking room, apparently 1 asleep.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28. Another crank has done his deadly work and Carter II. Harrison, five times mayor of Chicago, and one of the best known men in the West, lies dead in his home, 231 S. Ashlandboulevard. Three bullets entered his body, two of them making wounds sufficient to cause death. The murder waö committed by Eugene Patrick rrendergast, a papercarrier, who declared that Mayor Harrison had promised to make him corporation counsel and had not kept his word. This he said was his t " ' ' '. TV only reason fir comCAAllM.rvAKKli&.i. rnittlng the crime. The only person in the house at the time beside Mr. Harrison was his son, William Preston Harrison, twenty-five years of age. and the servants. Shortly before 8 o'clock the door bell rang and when Man Hansen, the domestic, opened the door she was confronted by a man about five feet five inches in hight, smooth shaven, his rather clean cut features lit up by a pair of dark eyes. "Is Mr. Harrison in?" asked the man in a quiet and pleasant voice. "Yes sir," responded the girl as she threw the door wide open to permit his entrance. "I would like to see him, please," said the man, as he walked toward the back end of the halb Cool, Dellberate Mörder. Mr. Harrison was in the dining room, which opens into the rear end of .th hall. Hearing the man ask for him he rose and stepped into the hall, walked toward Prendergast, who by the time he caught sight of Mr. Harrison, had advanced about ten feet from the doorway. Without saying a word Prendergast drew his revolver and commenced the fire. He pulled the trigger but three times and every bullet hit the mark. One ball shattered Mr. Harrison's left hand, another passed Into the lower right side

As soon as Trendergast bean to f r Mr. Harrison turned and walked rapidly toward the dining room and passed into a butler's pantry opening off the room, where, weakened by loss of blood, he fell to the floor. Prendergast did net follow up his victim or make any attempt to ascertain, how deadly his aim had been. He replaced his revolver ia hi pocket with the same deliberation that had marked all of his actions and started toward the door. The Coachman Fires Twice. Just as be was passing through the doorway William Treston Harrison, the mayor's son, came tearing down the stairs from the upper portion of ths house just as Mr. Harrison's coachman ran into the rear end of the hall. Tha cries of Mary Hanson directed the son to where his father lay, tut the coachman was after other game. He had a revolver of Ms own, and as quickly at he realized what had occurred he leveled his weapon and sent a bullet after the disappearing form of the murderer. A second time his revolver f poke, but both, bullets went wide. Running to the door, the coachman was prepared to continue hostilities, but several people were entering to learu the cause of the shooting, and by the time the coachman had reached the slJewalk Trendergast had been swallowed up In the darkness.
