How Repeal Could Be Passed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Yesterday
at ] o'clock the repeal bill was taken
up in the senate and Mr.. PETER, Pop
ulist, of Kansas spoke. He had read
by the clerk the letter of the presi-
dent to Gov. Northen of Georgia.
The letter did not dissipate, said Mr..
PETER, the confusion in the public
mind as to the presidents real opin-
ions on the monetary question. He
might be a mOnOmetalist, he might
be bimetalist. There is nothing in
the letter to show what kind OF a
metalist he is. The only thing he in
sisted on was the repeal of the Sher-
man law. Whenever the administra-
ton, represented by It's friends upon
this floor, declared Mr.. PETER, is
ready to accept the pending amend
ment or some other amendment
which will bring about the restora-
tion Of the law of 1887, it can pass
the repeal bill in twenty-five minutes.

LONDON, Sept. ga private cable,
dated Rio de Janeiro. says affairs at
the Brazilian capital are unchanged.
The rebel feet is still threatening
bombardment and negotiations are
yet progressing. Business has picked
up somewhat. 1t is said to be not
quite impossible that peace arrange
ment may be patched up. In this
case it viii be mainly due to the un-
firing efforts OF the representatives Of
foreign powers and foreign warships
at Rio. Failing in patching up peace
very shortly the insurgents repeat the
announcement that they will lay Rio
in ashes. President Peixoto does not
increase in popularity with the masses
and is said to be going about sur
rounded by a strong bodyguard, in
constant dread of assassination. 1t is
believed the basis of peace under
negotiation is the resignation Of the
president and government and free
pardon to the insurgents engaged in
the revolt. The insurgents still
blockade Santos.

confession. He said he concocted the
scheme on the night of September II
and made the assault next morning as
the child was on her way to school.
The girl said she was going to tell on
him and with this the brute tore her
underclothing and wrapped the pieces
around her neck, strangling her to
death. He then secreted her in the
underbrush where she was found the
next evening. The child was only 9
years of age. Tennis is ~ years old,
a widower and the father of seven
children. He is now in Jail. Excite
ment is high and crowds surround the
Jail. There is not likely, however, to
be a lynching. The grand jury at
once found true bill against Tennis
and he will be placed on trial at once.

CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich, Sept. So
A mine casualty without parallel in
the history of this country occurred
at Mansfield, the only producer of
Bessemer ore in the Crystal Falls min
ing district and located six miles from
here, Thursday night. The mine
caved in from top to bottom, burying
twenty-eight workmen and entailing
a loss of 100000 The Mansfield
shaft is located on the west bank of
the Michlgamme river and the work
ing levels run directly under the
stream and parallel with it for several
hundred feet The first level is
thirtyfive feet below the bottom Of
the river. and the lower levels, five
in number, parallel the first. The
bottom is 42S feet below the surface
of the water The accident is sup
posed to have been caused by the
giving way of the timbers on the fifth
level, allowing those above to follow
and at last the river to pour in upon
the fated men. After the cave in the
river bed below the mine was dry in
an hour and forty minutes. Forty.
eight men descended the shaft Thurs
day night. OF this number twenty
escaped and twenty-eight found
watery graves. Their bodies will
never be recovered. Most of the sur
vivors were at the bottom level,
which has not yet been sloped out.
The men heard the crash of the cave
and started for the Underway, which
all but four reached before to torrent
of water down the shaft cut them off.
Eight of the victims leave families of
children fatherless and about half the
remaining twenty were the support Of
parents. What measures, if any, can
be taken to rescue the bodies of the
dead are not yet determined.
