NAL parliamentary motion TO reconsider
the vote and to table that motion, and
then the House proceeded to othes and
minor business. w
Ex-Speaker Reed gave the following as
his views on the defeat Of the resolution:
''This vote Of the House under Republi-
can lead settles the silver question until
the decisive vote of the people. In fact,
In my judgment it is the last fight there
will be on the subject. The elections will
settle the agitation. The hollowness of
the Democratic support of free silver shows
the insincerity Of those who have been
catering to a temporary opinion"
Representative Bland took a. philosophi-
cal view of his defeat, and said that there
was nothing that could have been done by
the Committee on Rules or by any friends
of the measure to save it. He remarked
that the silver men were beaten this ses-
sion, but the fight would be resumed
later. He thought the Republicans would
try to force sectional issues and the Force
bill on them, which they would bury
deep, and then the Democratic party
would try to do something else.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky said that
he regarded the result of the contest as
fortunate, and said he was confident that
it would result in the election Of Mr.. Cleve-
land as President and in the retention of
number of Democratic members Of the
House from the East, who would other
wise have lost their seats.

Exciting Struggle Between Two ships to
Reach San Francisco First.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.--The Ameri-
can ship Tam oShsnter, Capt. Murphy,
and the Shenandoah, Capt. Peabody, have
arrived after race from the Atlantic
seaboard .ah.i
On the 25th of March the Tam o,Shan-
ter sailed from Baltimore, and on the
same day the Shenandoah took her depar-
ture from New York, the vessels therefore
occupying Ill days to make the trip This
does not break the record, but, under the
circumstances, is considered an unusually
good passage,
Capt. Murphy was successful In bring
ing the Tam O'Shanter into port two hours
ahead of the Shenandoah.
The most exciting portion Of the race
was sailed off Cape Horn. For five days
the vessels were wing and wing out of
sight of land. Every strip of canvas that
could be used was spread, and every en-
deayor was made to get ahead. During
this period there was the greatest excite
ment ON board the vessels The Tam
O'Shanter, however gradually forged
ahead, and despite every effort of the Off
GERS and crew of the Shenandoah, kept
her lead to the end of the voyage.

Urged that the Worlds Fair Directors
Should Not Accept the Appropriation.
CHICAGO, July 14.-The Herald says
editorially, this morning:
''The directors of the Worlds Fair
should peremptorily announce that they
will not accept the appropri alton that
was passed yesterday by the United States
Senate. 1t is dishonest, sneaking and
a contemplate measure.
Lied by the sanity Mate Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, majority of the Senators
added to the bill proviso that the Fair
should be closed on Sundays. Captained
by PETER, the product of Kansas crank
ism, majority added proviso that no
liquor should be sold on the ground.
These amendments were imposed by
demagogues, hypocrites and skinfiints for
the purpose of shirking manifest duty.
They knew that an appropriation coupled
with such unusual and unnecessary con-
ditions would not be accepted"

Great Excitement Caused.
LONDON, July 14.--Mr. Gladstone has
been reelected in Midlothian, receiving
5,750vot IS to SOFT for Col. Wauchope, the
Liberal Unionist candidate.
The narrow escape of Mr.. Gladstone
from defeat has caused much excitement.
His Conservative opponent is a soldier
with gallant record, a @. b. and Q. M.
g., and personally beyond reproach,
either as to his civil or military career.
Col. Wauchope presented no obstacle to
drawing out the full Conservative and
Liberal vote of Midlothian, and the story
told by the figures shows how thoroughly
the vote was drawn out.
Col. Wauchope is overwhelmed with
congratulations by his Tory friends, as
much as if he was the victor, while
from all parts of Scotland kilograms have
poured in to the Colonel, who is said to
be astonished at the fame thrust upon
him
Up to the declaration of the result the
Conservatives seemed to believe that
Gladstone was beaten, and this confidence
on their part naturally added to the anx-
iety of the Liberals,
The excitement in London has not been
so intense since the beginning of the cleo
tions. Fleet street was crammed from
Ludgate Circus to Chancery Lane with an
anxious multitude, both of Unionists and
Liberals The moment the figures were
bulletined great volume of shouts, of
groans and of cheers went up from the
people. For fully a quarter of an hour
the deafening and discordant din pre-
vailed
Mr. Gladstone received the news with
calmness. Whatever his feelings may
have been, he gave no expression to them.

himself as Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee. He said he was
never a candidate for reelection and
would not again sacrifice his personal in

would be chosen to succeed himself in

PEORIA, Ill, July 14.-The waves Of the
Illinois river now roll over the forms of a
score Of people, who, only short time
ago, were enjoying themselves to the
fullest extent. Wednesday evening was
one of the prettiest ever seen, and the
river and lake were fairly alive with boats
Of every description.
At 10 o'clock cyclone swept over the
city, leaving death and destruction in it's
wake.
The most serious and appalling disaster
Of the night was caused by the capsizing
of the pleasure steamer frankie Folsom
at the foot of Caroline street.
The following is list of the unfortu-

At Lake View Park, mile above
the city, a representation of Pompei
was given. For this occasion the
Folsom, Pekin boat, came up with
forty people. A landing was made here
and two or three couples joined the party.
Fifteen others also got aboard the boat at
the Park, so that the passenger list reached
fully sixty.
AS the boat came out of the landing and
started down to the city it was struck by
the cyclone and turned over. 1t was a
little midway in the river and sank
rapidly.
There are eighteen dead in the Folsom,
according to the latest account
Only about one-half of these will be
found in the cabin of the boat, for the
others were swept off the rail into the
river.
