The ReneaI Eli Passed.

The long struggle in the Senate is
ended The bill repeating the purchase
clause of the Sherman silver law passed
the Senate yesterday. The Senate bill is
somewhat different from that passed by
the House, and It will have to go to the
House. The latter body, however, will
not delay long in passing it. The mem
bers of congress are tired, and anxious to
have a little time at their homes before
the meeting of congress in regular SEES
sion.
The obnoxious law authorizing the pur-
chase of silver bullion will, in a day or
two be a thing Of the past. The silver
men may require that the anti-silyer
men have a quorum, but it is not ex-
pected that they will attempt to delay the
passage of the bill. They viii be satisfied
with recording their votes against it.
@ When the repeal bill finally passes
there will be a feeling of relief in business
circles in all parts of the country. The
boarded money will seek Investment, and
there will be greater activity in nearly all
kinds Of business.

Peru seems likely to have little fight
at home in the family, instead of going
over and thrashing Chile and taking back
two of her lost provinces. The action of
the Peruvian congress in annulling
municipal elections has aroused intense
feeling and a spirit Of revolt.

1t is hardly too early to say that the
yellow fever will not spread beyond the
districts already infected, at Brunswick
and Jesup. The cool season is now due
and conditions favorable to the spread of
the disease do not exist The fever may
last for some time yet in the localities
affected but there is little or no danger of
its extending to other localities.

1t would be interesting to know to what
degree the mind of the murderous crank
who Slew Mayor Carter Harrison was in
fluenced by the Chicago newspapers
During the last municipal campaign Mr.
Harrison was viciously assailed by every
daily newspaper in the city, with one eX-
ception, and called crank, a rascal, q
hypocrite, a demagogue, friend of
thieves, murderers and toughs, a usurcr,
and almost everything else that a poll
tician may be called by those who oppose
his election. The newspapers did all OF
these things for political effect; they did
not mean to convey the idea that Mr.
Harrison was lawless and altogether
depraved character. But if Prendergast
is the weak minded person he is reputed
to be, would not such publications tend to
lower his regard for the life of the man
so terribly assailed, and would it be more
than natural that he should think the
authorities would not deal harshly with IA
man who took it upon himself to remove
such a menace to law and society as the
papers pictured the candidate for mayor
to be? Sensational newspaper articles ana
pictures are undoubtedly responsible for
a great many crimes committed by weak
minded persons.

The pictures of King Lo Bengula, Of
Matabeleland, that the illustrated daily
papers are copying from European ex-
changes, show the royal savage to be a
man Of extra aldermauic proportions.
His only dress is a plume, stuck in his
woody hair, cape made of feathers aud a
kilt made of the bushy part of oxtails,
hence his picture is totally unlike Paris

The daily papers, trade journals and
mercantile agencies present a great diver
sity of opinion as TO whether the revival
in trade, which all agree will follow the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law, is to be a slow or a rapid
one. A consensus of the best opinion.
however, seems to be that the revival
will be slow, but steady. This belief is
based on the course of affairs subsequent
to the panic of 1878. At any rate, the
revival has already set in, and the good
time is coming. 1t is hoped it will not be
very long on the way.

engagement took place in the immediate
neighborhood of Fort Victoria. This
impi, which passed to the northward of
Fort Victoria, Is reported by Dr..
Jameson, who is on the ground, to have
been 5000 strong. and it is clear that the
savages meant to begin active hostiities
at once. DR.. Jameson was accordingly in
structed to take all steps necessary TO pro-
tect the settlers, and since then force has
been advancing toward King Lobengula's s
chief kraal.
From the advices received here to-day it
would seem that there has been pitched
battle on large scale and that some of the
crack regiments of King Lo oben gula were
engaged. This being the case, the English
have secured most important victory, for
the Matabeles were put to fight and the
English are now advancing upon their
country by rapid marches.
The turn of events is not unexpected, as
the English have been greatly outnum-
bered and the Matabeles are known to be
at least as good fighters as were their
brethren, the Zulu warriors of Cetewayo.
In fact, they should be braver fighters. for
they long ago conquered and dominated
the country all around them.
1t is expected that the next news will be
of further advance toward the Kings
kraal, for DR.. Jameson is hardly tie man
to lose the moral effect of a substantial
victory upon the savages with whom he is
called upon 20 contend. If the Matabeles
have been defeated, as claimed, it will re-
suit In the immediate opening of what is
perhaps the richest unexplored gold region
of the globe-the Ophir of King Solomon.

The PACIFIC CABLE.
Canada Is Taking Great Deal of In

MONTREAL, Oct. &c. r. Hosmer. gen.
eral manager of the Canadian Pacific, in
an interview regarding the proposed Pa
cific cable. says: 1--WE are naturally in
tensely interested in the agitation prevail
ing in England and the Australian col
onies over the proposed Pacific cable.
We contend the Canadian Pacific tele-
graph, with the Atlantic cable connec-
ton, can be made to form the
cheapest and quickest route for
telegraphic communication between
Great Britain and Australasia. and believe
the growing commerce of the Pacific
Ocean demands that this cable be laid,
and we are satisfied it will be, by some
one. within very short time. Cheaper
and quicker teegraphic communication n
would prove here, as we'll as elsewhere,
one OF the most important factors in d.

commerce via Canada to the United States
and Great Britain"

GOT NO QUORUM.
Why the Printing Bill Did Not Pass
the House

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-An interesting
discussion on the financial condition of
the treasury and the country took place
in 1.-THE House to-day. McMiIlin said it
was no longer possible not to con-
slider the financial straits in which
the Treasury was. The Treasury was
running behind every month. Nothing
has been paid out on the sinking Efund for
some time and it was notorious the
Treasury had been driven to the use Of q
portion Of the 500. 000O 900 gold reserve
maintained to redeem outstanding green
backs to meet current expenses.
The bill to construct a revenue cutter
for the great lakes TO replace the Andy
johnson. which has been doing service on
Lake Michigan for thirty years. led to a
further financial discussion, but the Sec
ond morning hour expired before action
was had.
The House then resumed consideration
of the printing bill. which. as completed
and as amended. was reported to the
House. On the passage of the bill the
vote stood II TO 8. Beltshoover made the
point of no quorum, and the ayes and noes
were ordered. 1t resulted 13S TO s. Nc
quorum. Thereupon. at 3:O5. the House

| The Bulgarian Government investigated
the matter and upon the report Of its local
officials declined to pay the indemnity de-
manded by the Greek Government. The
