SILVER COMPROMISE.
Provisions of the Measure Which the
Democrats Are Trying Hard
to Unite Upon.

Washington, Oct. 20. There is no
doubt but that compromise silver bill
has been agreed to among the Demo-
Gratis, yet there is a slight obstruction
somewhere which makes the committee
cautious about giving out the details. 1t
is believed the president has not yet ex-
pressed his approval of the substitute
proposed, and that there are members of
the committee and of the senate who de-
sire his approval before committing
themselves.
1t may be stated, however, that the
members of the senate on both sides,
without exception, regard it as settled
that a measure is in course of prepara-
tion by the Democratic steering commit
tee, the conditions of which, except as to
details, have been agreed upon practical
ly by the entire Democratic side.
The bill provides for the repeal of the
Sherman law, but removes the date at
which the repeal will take effect until
the 1st day Of January, or the 1st day OF
July, 1896.
1t retires the treasury notes below S.
or $40; it coins $54,OOO,OO0 of silver
seignorage now on hand; it makes the
purchase or 100000 ounces of silver
per month mandatory. There is some
difference of opinion as to whether the
date of Limitation will be fixed at the
end of the calendar year of 1894 or at the
! end of the fiscal year in July of 1895.

There is also a wide divergence of
views as to the bond question. There
are a great many senators on the Demo-
cratic side who are anxious to eliminate
the bond question from the bill entirely
and if Secretary Carlisle will only say
the parity OF gold and, silver can be pre-
served without bonds the question will
not be touched.
The proposed law will add only about
$13O,OOOO0O to the silver circulation,
counting the seignorage, and supposing
it will cease its operations the lst OF
January, 1895, and some think it will be
unnecessary to do anything at all about
bonds.
If the question is handled at all, it will
be dealt with indirectly by confirming
the right of the secretary of the treasury
to issue bonds under the act of 1875,
limiting the amount to $20O,OO0,Q0O, the
interest to 8 per cent and time to five
years and providing that the bonds shall
be used only to strengthen the reserve
ard not for banking purposes.
There is q difference of opinion as to
the time the proposed bill will be intro
duced in the senate. Some think 1T may
go IN to-day; others say it will be sub
mitted to Democratic caucus first, and
at any rate, it will not be introduced be-
fore Monday. There is a general feeling
that the bill should be put upon its pass
age as soon as possible to prevent further
harsh feeling.
If the bill should pass, it is regarded as
certain that congress will Immediately

ANOTHER HORROR.
Fifty Passengers Killed and Burned
in q Railroad Collision
This Morning.
A Holocost on the Grand Trunk Line
Seven Killed and Ten Injured on
the Illinois Central.

Kankakee, ILL.,, Oct. 90 The a. m.
fast mail on tho Illinois Central road was
wrecked near hero this morning. Seven
passengers were killed and ten seriously
wounded. The train crashed into
standing freight train. There we're no
houses near and the wounded suffered
terribly. Physicians from the city have
gone to the wreck. Among those fatally
hurt are Mrs. Staytcn, of Wichita, Falls,
Texas, and j. M. Plano, of Texas.
RAYMOND s. wHITooMB EXCURSION.
Battle Creek, Mich, Oct. 2O.--A terrible
head end collision occurred on the Grand
Trunk road one mile from this city this
morning. The accident is horrible in all
it's features. From twenty-five to forty
are reported killed, many of whom were
BURNED TO DEATH.
The wreck took fire soon after the col
lision and the ,groans and cries of the dy-
ing were pitiful in the extreme.
The wreck took place in tho Battle
Creek yards between 2 and 3 this morn
ing, and was caused by trainmen on a
Raymond & Whitcomb excursion train
disobeying orders. The train was three
hours late and collided with the Pacific
Express.
When the collision occurred the sec
ond and third day coaches on tho Ex-
press going west were telescoped and the
i'll fated passengers were
COMPLETELY ENToMBED
in a firery furnace. The engine and bag
gage car of the special train were badly
wrecked but the coaches being sleepers
and the train moving slowly the passen-
gers escaped serious injury, though pas
sengers in the four coaches were more or
less injured. On the Pacific express there
were
TWENTY-FIVE DEAD BODIES
taken from the wreck this morning.
They were pinned under the seats, jamned
against the end of the coach and then
burned like rats in a trap.
The accident was mile from any fire
station, and before the water could be
turned on the cars had all burned.
LUCKY ESCAPE.
No one on the Raymond special was
dangerously injured.
The Pacific Express was made up OF
thirteen old coaches. Four of them were
completely burned, catching fire from the
lamps in the cars.
The bodies were burned so badly that
they were nnrecognizable. Nearly all
had their hands, arms and legs burned of
and can not be identified.
The dead may reach fifty. They are
all eastern people.

planned the whole affair. By his peculiar
power he could make Others do what he
wished" Shields said he could not resist
the attempt, and knew he would be caught
and would have to suffer for the crime,
He is stenographer on the Pittsburgh

has borne good character hitherto.
