NOT DISHEARTENED.
The Silver Champions Have BY No
Means Given Up the Struggle
for the White Metal.
Montana. Washington and Wyoming
Might Weld the Balance of
Power if They Would.

WAsHINGroN, Sept. II. The leaders
of the silver fight in the senate by no
means give up the struggle, although a
canvass now shows possible small ma
jority in favor Of repeal. Even should
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act be repealed, they say the fight would
then be only begun. They propose to
stanu by the white metal until they
secure the enactment Of legislation that
fully recognizes the place Of silver along
side of gold is one Of the money metals
In speaking of the situetion yesterday
"a western republican senator said: "Wo
feel confident that were Montana. Wash
ingt0n and Wyoming represented by
three more senators, to which they are
entitled, we should win. We are handi-
capped by the absence Of these senators,
and our cnnemies are twitting us with
the fact that they control the governors
Of the three states named. and that the
people Of those states are half hearted
anyhow, in Their desire for silver legisla-
tion. To offs this disadvantage, the
silver senators have determined. after
several consultations. to invite promi-
rent citizens of the states named to
come here and show by their protests
and presence that their constituencies
are fully alive to the situation, but can
not secure representation in the senate
because they have governors who are
not loyal to the interests Of silver Some
of the gentlemen who have been in
yiteu have already arrived and we shall
have others here in few days. If the
fight is lost it will be because of the
three vacant seats in the senate

KILLED IN A MINE.
Butte Miner Meets ~ Horrible Fat. at
the Blue Wing Mine,

BUTTE, Sept ia horrible discovery
was made in the Blue Wing mine at
Walkerville, between 12 and | o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The lifeless body of
Quintillo Gerard, better known as
Quinn Girard, one of the leasers Of the
property, was found fast in the timbers
about five feet below the 800 foot sta
tion. The body was found sitting
astride the center piece of the shaft with
the back leaning against the wall in a
very lifelike position. The body WAS
stiff and it must have been IN the posi-
tion in which it was found for nearly
twenty-four hours.
AS nearly as can be ascertained the ac-
cident occurred at few minutes after |
o'clock Monday afternoon, but remark
able as II may seem, the unfortunate man
was not missed till about noon Yesterday.
when Joseph Ianna,one of his partners in
the lease. came to the conclusion that
there was something wrong and organiz-
ell searching party, consisting of Joe
Nenner, Emanuel lnania and young
man named Flynn. They were directly
to the 800 foot level and in few min
utes discovered Gerardi's body in the
first set below the station astride of the
center piece. They returned to the sur
face and got Sam Hall who returned
with them and superintended the work
of getting the body out.
Gerardi had evidently fallen from the
300 foot station and he had struck the
old fashioned chairs at the 800 foot level
with sufficient force to tear one of the
iron bars from its place, at the same time
crushing his spinal column for several
inches. Ills body then struck the center
piece in the shaft, nve feet below. and
hung there

\ LONG, HARD FIGHT.
There l. to be No End of Talk on the
silver Question.

silver Question.
WAsHYCroN, Sept. l2..-It appears
there will be long, hard fight TO the
close Of the debate in the senate on the
repeal bill. Ii is stated that 33 senators
have arranged to speak and 10 or II
others may decide to take hand before
the conclusion of the debate. Should
this prove true 1t is more that probable
that snow will fly before the matter is
settled. George of Mississippi expects
to speak two days, Jones of Nevada and
Daniel of Virginia each two days,
Morgan Of Alabama and Stewart of Ne
vada each one day. Even il a compro-
mise is ultimately agreed upon, a final
vote will not be taken earlier than the
first week in October.
The silver senators still insist that a
vote cant be reached at all without "a
clOture rule. Under the rules Of the
senate there is no provision whatever for
shutting oil the debate, and it is not
probable that such rule will be adopt
ed now.

The panic was manufactured to order.

deed of Cain. There was a concerted
action of certain coterie of great money
hucksters throughout the world. They
began without cause save the secret de-
sign of conspirators to call in their loans,
to refuse applications for money from
the best security, and in every way to
contract business. They issued a year
ago certain secret financial bulletins to
the lesser lights, giving them warning to
follow in the footsteps Of their masters.
Their movement was against the

repeal Of the silver purchase clause of

its unconditional repeal that is, that

Sciatica is said to be the foundation
of the disease from which the prince is
suffering and, If reports are to be he

Dispatches inquiring about the health
OF the great German statesman are being

THE GEAItN ACT.

United States Marshals Are to Take No
Further Action in Its Enforcement.
WASHINGTON, Sept li.--AttorneyGen
era Olney has instructed the United
States marshals to take no further steps
for the enforcement of the Geary law
pending specific instructions to the con-
trary from Washington. These instruc
tions do not apply, however, to Chinese
already in progress OF deportation by due
process of law.

the Chinese, applied to the treasury de-
partment today for ii stay Of proceedings
in the case of the Chinese recently or
dered back to China by the district court
at Los Angeles. lie was referred to the
department Of justice and was there in
formed that the department would rot

on by the United Strtcs courts.
The Chinese minister to this country,

change in the attitude of the treasury
department which last week was con-
