He Had to Go Home.

New YORK. August 1.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald says that the re-
port that President Cleveland is leaving his
post at Washington to GO to Buzzard's Bay,
because he believes himself beaten in his
efforts to secure the repeal of the Sherman
law, has no foundation in fact.
Because of this unfounded rumor silver
men are jubilant The simple truth is that
q domestic event in Mr.. Cleveland's family,
which will occur in a few days. requires him
to be at the side of his wife.
The president stands by his message. and
expects to win in the struggle. Under no
other circumstances would the president have
left Washington at such moment.

Carlisle Saws it is Arranged.

DEER PARK, MD, August 15.-Secretary
Carlisle in conversation with a gentlemen on
the train from Washington to this place
stated that Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, would be chairman of the House
committee on ways and means. The inn
preston created by the tenor of the secre-
tarys conversation is that the repeal of the
silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act
would be very speedily accomplished, In fact,
that everything has been arranged TO this
end.

Senate Finance Committee Not Ready.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 1.-THE sem
ate finance committee gives it out that it is
their purpose that no further steps shall be
taken on the silver question until that COM
mittee has fully agreed upon plan of action
that shall secure the support of the full COM
mittee.
The republican members of the committee
expressed dissatisfaction at the program an
nounced by Chairman VOORHEES,, saying they
were ready for immediate discussion and ac-
ton, as urged by the president in his mes
sage; but as the majority had expressed its
will it would be useless to take vote on tine
matter, and would make no resistance.

Labor orpanizstions Money.

CHICAGO, August ia most important
step in the direction of relieving the fnan-
cial stringency has been taken in Chicago by
organized labor.
An investigation recently instituted by the
Inter-Ocean disclosed the fact that there was
over a million dollars locked up in the
treasures of organized labor in Chi
cago. Labor leaders at a meeting adopted
resolutions favoring the withdrawal of the
money locked up in the safe deposit vaults
and its investment in securities. The mat
ter will now go to the local unions. By an
other week, it is safe to say, big proportion
of the locked up labor funds will be in circu-
lation.

Fair Finances.

TOPEKA, August 12.-Major T. j. Anderson,
treasurer of the Kansas worlds fair board,
has made report to Governor Lewelling
which shows the finances of the board to be
in splendid condition. With an appropria-
ton of only SIS, 600 to begin with, $19,097.71
corporations which advanced money by sub
scription a year ago, the board still has a
balance of $15,212 to its credit. There is no
doubt but this will be sufficient to carry the
board through the fair and in all probability
there will be little left to turn back to the
state treasury.

Hungry to desperation.

DENVER, August 11.-There were many
muttered threats among the unemployed
men in this city. Camp Relief was disband-
ed and the 500 men who had fed at the camp
were throw upon the city. In addition to
these 500, there were many more who are re-
ceiving aid from the charitable institutions
>of Denver. With starvation staring them
in the face, these men are sullen and may
resort to desperate measures to obtain food.
The charity organizations of this city are
already greatly overtaxed in caring for the
suffering women and Children of the city
and what to do with these large numbers OF
idle and hungry mSn, Is grave question
with the authorities.

To be Talked Out in the House.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 12.-Commit-
tees of gold men and silver men in the house
have formulated a plan which seems likely to
be acquiesced in by both sides.
Two bills are to be introduced, an uncondi-
tional repeal bill and bill conditioning re-
peal upon free coinage at some ratio to be
agreed upon.
1t is also in the plan that full discussion
shall be had in the house without the delay
of reference to committee; and that ten
days be given to discussion. The order in
which votes are to be taken to be arranged for
before the program is finally fixed upon.

PLUNGED TO THEIR DEATH.

An Electric Car Loaded with Passengers
Goes Through an Open Draw Into the
River-soven Persons are Drowned.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2.-Portland's
second street railway catastrophe with
in year occurred early yesterday
morning, when an electric car from
Milwaukee, an east side suburb TO this
place, plunged through the open draw
Of the Madison street bridge and sank
in the Willamette river There were
eighteen or twenty passengers aboard
when the car started TO cross the bridge
and all but seven Of them saved their
lives by leaping from the car on the
brink of death. Five corpses have been
recovered from the river and a man and
a boy are yet missing.
II was about 6:45 when the car ar
rived at the bridge. A dense fog en-
veloped the river and a sharp frost
covered the rails with coating Of ice.
The draw had Just been opened 10 al
low the passage Of n river steamer and
the usual precautions of closing the
gates and displaying red signal lights
had been taken. Owing TO the frost,
however, the car could not be stopped
In the usual distance and crashed
through the frail gate and into the
river. The motorman, when he saw he
could not stop the car, gave the alarm
10 the passengers, and as many as had
time saved themselves by jLmping.

almost approach near small-sized
riot. Many Of the veterans had paid
railroad fare to the city and they in
particular were very loud In their de-
nunciations of the pension bureau.

Robertson.
A dance was at its height when the
constables appeared. The man wanted
was called to one side Of the room and
listened quietly to the reading of the
warrant AS the officer folded up the
warrant and put his hand on Robert
sons arm, the prisoner drew his revol-
yer, pushed 1t into Louden's face and
pulled the trigger. The weapon missed
fire, but instantly there was general
melee. Alexander Robertson, brother
of the prisoner, and half. dozen Of his
friends sprang for the officers with
knives and chairs. The stove was up
set and some grabbed the stove legs for
use at short range. Constable Inglis
was stabbed in the neck and face and
both officers were badly beaten by the
desperate men who assailed them.
Finally the officers were driven back
TO corner, when Louden fred half

ditched at Lime switch, two miles
north Of Ullin, at o'clock yesterday
morning and Fireman Charles Ham
mond, Of Centralia, was Instantly

There is every reason to believe that
the wreck was the work of would-be
train robbers, because the switch track
runs out TO lime kiln and is never
used by passenger trains. The lock
was broken and the switch turned and
the lantern thrown into ditch.
The track gave way under the pom

turned, burying the fireman beneath
the ruins The baggage and express

imprisoning the express messenger and

track but did not turn over and none Of

The Silver Purchase Repeal Bill
Passes the House
BY q voto Of 1o1 Yeas to 03 Nnys, and u
at Once Approved by tho Pre'ident
Opponents of the Measure Fail
In Their Efforts to Delay
Vote.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-HoUsE-The
silver controversy in its last stages
having been transferred to the house,
there was quite large attendance
both in the chamber and in the gal
leries yesterday at the noon hour OF
meeting.
The silver purchase repeal bill, with
the senate amendments, were laid be-
fore the house and the senate substi-
tute was read. Mr. Wilson, of West
Virginia, who has charge Of the bill,
moved to concur In the senate amend
ments and on that motion he moved
the previous question.
Mr.. Bland, who leads the opposition,
said that he had no disposition to de-
lay the final vote on the bill. He hoped,
however, that its friends would permit
II to come up in regular order and to
be debated in regular way. The gen.
tleman in charge Of the bill had ma
jority with him and could, under the
rules Of the house, move the previous
question at any time. He did not see
the necessity of his demanding tho
previous question on this occasion.
After some debate Mr.. Bland sent to
the clerks desk and had read an
amendment which he had intended to
offer reviving and re-enacting the law
of 1887 Tor the unlimited coinage Of
silver. ..'''.
Mr.. Tracey, OF New York, who had
much to do with the general MANAGE
ment of the bill, expressed his graft
tude to the members on the other side
Of the question for their uniform po-
likeness and forbearance. He and the
gentlemen on the democratic side who
had been acting with him, knew that
they had been following the lead Of
the man whom the people Of the coun-
try had elected by an enormous ma
jority as president Of the United States
Grover Cleveland.
Amid the applause which followed
this delivery there was heard the IA
miliar note of Cuckoo, cuckoo" 1t
came from Mr.. Wilson, of Washington,
and was greeted with shouts of laugh
ter.
Mr.. Bryan (dem.) Of Nebraska, OPP
posed the bill and spoke bitterly of
democratic senators following the lead
ership of Mr. Sherman.
Mr.. Wilson, OF West Virginia, closed
the discussion. The argument, he said,
had ended and Judgment had been re-
corded with an emphasis which could
not be misunderstood.
Mr.. Bland moved to recommit the
bill with instructions to report back
the amendment which he had indi-
Gated (reviving the free coinage act Of
1880.
The motion was rejected-yeas 100,
nays IT'S.
After number Of flibustering mo-
tions had been made and lost a vote
was taken on the motion TO concur in
the senate substitute. The motion car
ried by vote Of 191 TO o3
The president signed the repeal bill
at exactly $3.50 o'clock, one hour and
thirty-fYe minutes after its passage. 1t
was brought 10 the White House by
Representative Albert J. Pearson, Of
Ohio, chairman Of the house committee
on enrolled bills, who made the trip
