READY TO YIELD NOTHING.
What the Repealers Want They
Must Fight For.
FILIBUsTERING IN ORDER NOW
Mr.. Bland Has Once More Become
an Important Factor in Admins
istration Calculations.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3L-The silver men,
or the most intense silver men, in the
House. will, it is said, insist that the repeal
bill be put through by force and without
any agreement ON their part as to the time
when debate shall end or anything else.
They say they mean to be forced into SUBJ
mission. The mode of procedure in the
House tomorrow will probably be as soon
as the Speaker lays the bill before the
House that Wilson Of West Virginia will
move to concur in the Senate amendments.
and upon that he will demand
the previous question. Then some
one will suggest that time be
given for debate. Wilson will insist on
the previous question. Then filibustering
will begin. 1t is doubtful how much
strength the silver men will have, but
there is little doubt that they will have
sufficient to call for the ayes and noes, and
that will force the Committee on Rules TO
report closure resolution. This will be
done If filibustering begins.
The repealers have been worried about
a quorum, and to-day count but 165 men,
5ers who voted against all amendments
when the bill was pending in the House
130, who supported silver in some form.
should refuse to vote on the various mo-
tions, it would leave the House without a
quorum. But it is understood that they
will not do this. Bland will be given an
opportunity TO move to commit the bill to
his Committee on Coinage, Weights and
Measure, as such motion is privileged IN
der the rules, but it would of course be
voted down. 1t is probable that the Rules
Committee will fix time for voting ON the
bill at some time tomorrow evening, per-
haps about o'clock.
Bland was asked IL some arrangement
could not be made so that day might
be devoted to debate on the bill. He re-
piled in the negative; that the rules
must be followed. He said he thought
no time could be fixed In any event for
the vote, as those members who desired
would be given opportunity to speak on

NOW TO SETTLE JOHN.
The McCreary Bill to Be Taken
Up in the Senate.
1t Is Not Likely That There Will
Be Any Factious Oppose
tion to II.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s1.-The Senate in
all probability will be occupied tomorrow
with the bill extending the time for six
months in which Chinese laborers can
register under the Geary law. Senator
White of California arrived this morning.
and he and Senator Perkins expect to speak
upon the question. as also do Senators
Hoar and Davis, but it is not probable
that there will be any factious opposition
to the bill. There are some features Of
the measure that White and Perkins do
not entirely approve, but as it recognizes
the principle that Chinese can be excluded
from the country by legislative enactment.
they will probably content themselves by
explaining CalifOrnia's attitude upon the
question. Hoar and Davis will probably
make objection to the doctrine. The gen.
eral understanding is that there will be no
objection to taking up the bill tomorrow
morning.
Senator White says, in fact, that 1t has
been decided to take up the McCreary bill
in the Senate tomorrow. The probabili-
ties are. says Mcguire. that the bill will
pass without amendment. McCreary says
he has seen all the Senators from whom an
objection might come, and he believes
there will be no opposition. Senator
White may endeavor to strengthen the
clause defining labor. so as to include the
words employed in agricultural and hor-
ticultural pursuits"

HE IS GAINING STRENGTH.
The Provisional Government
Firmly Established.
PLENTY OF GUNS AND POWDER.
Rebels Keep on Bombarding the Forts,
: Although They Are Not
Good Marksmen.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-The Times has the
following advces from Rio de Janeiro,
under date of October 81: The insurgent
feet, in conjunction with Fort Villegai-
gnon. daily bombards Nictheroy, Santa
Cruz and San Jose, but the fire Is badly
directed. This city so far has not been
damaged. but Nictheroy has suffered Sc
verely. though there has been no loss OF
life. The Provisional Government, which
has been firmly established at Desterro
and Santa Catharina, is organizing land
forces, and the insurgents have plenty Of
munitions of war. Decisive action by
Admira de Melo is expected shortly.
The Republica to-day rammed the trans
port Rio de Janeiro, which was conveying
100 troops TO Santos and 500 of the troops
were drowned. Admiral de Mello con-
firms the truth Of this report. He denies
that he has any intention of restoring the
empire.
MoNTEvIDEo, Oct. 31.-The forts at
Rio de Janeiro continued on the 23d to
fire at intervals all day against Viilegag
non. At 5 o'clock P. NJ. firing at full force
was opened and was replied to with great
vigor. The fleet remained out of range of
the forts. The Argollo has gone to at
tempt to recapture Santa Catharina. 1t
is claimed that balloon is in
readiness to drop explosives on the
fleet. Every vessel in the rebel fleet can
nonaded Nctheroy on the 25th, and the
field batteries replied with spirit. Many
men were killed. and the magazine at
Morangue was blown up and great fire
followed, which lasted until late at night
The magazine consisted of three ware
houses, which were lifted bodily into the
air. no; stone being left. Thousands Of
tons of powder were exploded.
The Minister OF Foreign Affairs has re-
signed because foreign capitalists are op-
posed to his policy. The Government has
bought two Argentine vessels, and also has
the Tiradentes, the Bahia and three tor
pedo-boats. Peixoto expected to attack
and capture Desterro on the 9th. The
town is the capital of the provisional
government set up by De Meilo.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Six more United
States merchant steamers have been pur-
chased by the Government of Brazil for
warships. The powerful Ell Rio Of the
Morgan line and the Advance, Finance
Alliance, Seguranca and Vigiiancia of the
recent United States and Brazil Mail
Steamship Company were to-day pur-
chased, and this gives to the Brazilian
Government ten new vessels.
All ten craft were purchased through
Messrs. Flint & Co. OF the five vessels
purchased of the United States and Brazil
Mail Steamship Company four are lying
In the Erie basin. They have been out of
commission the greater part of the last
year. Ell Rio reached this port to-day
from New Orleans. Peixoto's agents have
so far expended about S3,00O,OOO for ships
and munitions of war here.

IL Is Both Denied and Confirmed
From Official Sources.


LONDON, Oct 31.-The Brazilian Min
lister in this city, in an interview regarding
the alleged secret treaty said to have been
entered into between the United States
and Brazil, is quoted as saying: 81 re-
ceived a dispatch from my Government
yesterday making a statement similar to
the one cabled to the Associated Press.
While it is possible such treaty, In the
general conception Of the word, does not
exist, you can depend upon it there is a
good understanding between the two re-
publics, and that the United States will
not permit the restoration of a monarchy
ii it can prevent it. The American war
ships have not gone to Rio de Janeiro for
nothing"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Concerning the
statement from London as to the utter
ance OF the Brazilian Minister touching
the reported treaty between Brazil and
the United States. Secretary Gresham
said: 81 can scarcely believe the Brazilian
Minister made any such statement. for
there is not particle of foundation for
it," He added that there was no under
standing in regard to affairs 80 far as he
knew.
Being asked concerning the matter. DR..
Mendonca, the Brazilian Minister. said !:
"There can certainly be no truth in the
statement. l do not think the Brazilian
Minister in London made the statement
accredited to him. He certainly. has been
misrepresented. / know nothing of a
treaty having been entered into between
Brazil and the United States"

the conduct of business in the executive
departments, reported favorably the House
bill, relating to contracts for supplies,
which provides for board to compare all

ance or rejection.
The New York and New Jersey bridge

of the days session was almost entirely
consumed with debate on the measure.
The bill passed without division.

YIELDED NOTHING.
Silver Men Force the Bill Over for
One DaV.

WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-At the opening
of the House this morning Livingston of
Georgia asked unanimous consent for the
silver repeal bill to be taken up at once.
Bland and other silver men objected and
the bill went over under the rules till to-
morrow. The crowd who filled the galleries
were disappointed at this result of an ex-
pected fight
There were fully $50 members present
when the House was called to order. After
the reading of the journal, the joint reso-
luton transferring the Worlds Fair model
battleship to the State of Illinois for use as
an armory by the States naval militia was
agreed to.
at the conclusion of Oates speech on his
bill to reform the naturalization laws. Tim
Campbell of New York served notice that
he was opposed to the bill, and Goldzeir of
Chicago. who followed. made scathing
6enunciation of the spirit which dictated
the naturalization bill.
The secretary ot the Senate at this point
came in with the repeal bill as passed by
that body. Its presentation created
scarcely ripple, and the House continued
with its routine business till the morning
hour expired, when Livingston made his
motion for upanimous consent and failed
to secure it, Bland, on behalf of himself
and others. making vehement protest.
Joseph, Delegate from New Mexico, pre-
sented to the House a favorable report
from the Committee on Territories On the
bill admitting New Mexico The bill
authorizes the people of New Mexico to
hold constitutional convention on the
first Monday of December, 1894. the result
of which is to be submitted to the people

Tuesday after the first Monday in March,
1895, and until the next census of the
State it shall be entitled to one Represen-
tative. The officers and Representative
are to be elected at the same time that the
vote is cast for the constitution.
Bailey of Texas introduced bills In the
House to-day to repeal the statutes that
provide for the retirement of army and
navy officers and stopping the pay of all
officers heretofore retired. Another bill
repeals the statutes providing for the re-
tirement of United States Judges and pre-
vents any person who has heretofore re-
signed his place as Judge to hereafter re-
ceive pay.
McMillin from the Committee on Ways
and Means called up the bill to remit
the duties on ammunition imported for the
use of the navy during the trouble between
the United States and Chile. The bill
furnished text for a speech by Reed. and
his criticism OF Democratic economy led
to very lively tilt between the ex-Speaker
and Dockery of the Appropriation Com
mttee. The bill passed.
Debate on the bankruptcy bill was re-
sumed, and Wolverton of Pennsylvania
spoke in its support.
Cochran of New York from the Commit
tee on Ways and Means presented favor

ALL CHICAGO IN MOURNING.
Solemnly the Remains Are Borne
Through the Streets.
THE FUNERAL SET FOR TO-DAY.
In the Meantime Even the Criminals
in Jail Jeer at the Wretched
Assassin.

CHICAGO. Oct. 31.-The remains of ths
late Mayor Harrison were borne to the
City Hall to-day to lie in state. Dense
crowds thronged the streets aOd the side
walks for blocks around the Harrison
mansion ON Ashland boulevard previous
to the start. In the main it was not
fashionable throng, but was such one as
in life he liked to move among and speak
with. A solemn stiffness prevailed as
eight stalwart Fire Department captains
emerged bearing the coffin. Eight police
captains followed. sharing the honors as
pail bearers. The cortege was long one
and the march to the City Hall through
the heart of the city, two miles, consumed
considerable time. The utmost simplicity
characterized the march. The hearse was
a perfectly plain black vehicle, with no
nodding plumes, and no music resounded
above the tread of feet following
the remains. Meantime great throng had
gathered about the City Hall of men.
women and children. As the cortege ap-
preached hats were doffed in reverent
silence, and as the hearse stopped before
the entrance the strains of Chopin s funeral
march resouded from band on the steps.
AS the casket was borne within sobs were
nearQ on every SlQe.
The casket was deposited on catafalque
in the main corridor, surrounded by floral
offerings. The doors were opened and
seemingly an endless stream of people be-
gan moving past in two lines. ALI day
long they passed rapidly. seeming as if
they would continue all night if permitted.
They looked upon face perfectly natural
in the peacefulness of death. The dead
Mayor seemed as il sleeping.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning from the Church of the Epiphany,
on Ashland boulevard. One hour before
the services begin the remains will be taken
from the City Hall to the church. The
funeral procession will proceed from the
church to Graceland Cemetery, and tie
column will be large one, many societies
having applied for place in the line. The
public schools, Board of Trade. banks and
places of business will bs closed tomorrow
out OF respect for the dead.
Prendergast, Harrison's murderer. is
having rough time in Jail. The other
prisoners seize every opportunity of jeer-
ing at the wretch and shrek imprecations
at him. so that exercise outside his cell is
made a practical impossibiIity. To-day
the assassin seemed for the first time to
realize his position. All along be has ap-
parently labored under the delusion that
his companions in crime would look up to
him, but to-day he seemed to understand
that he was abhorred even by hardened
criminals as c0wardly assassin.

NOT YET AT AN END.
Exhibitors in No Rush to Quit
the White City.
1t Is Particularly Hard to Get the
Midway Piaisance People
Started Away.

CHICAGO. Oct. 31.-There was q decided
diminution in the attendance at the fair
to-day. Though officially closed last night
the gates are still open and the attractions
are unchanged; but it is evident the Chi
cagnans have about completed their visits
and the outside world had made its calcu-
lations to depart when the official end
came. not anticipating the gates would
continue to swing on their hinges. Some
of the exhibitors will go direct to the Mid
winter Fair at San Francisco. A number
of the Plaisance attractions are going
there. Others are going to the Augusta
Exposition at Augusta, Ca, which opens
November IA and continues until Decem-
Der a. The managers of the last-named
exposition have arranged with some of
those who have been retained by Califor-
MIA to 60 to Augusta first and proceed
thence TO the Pacific Coast.
Exhibitors are not scrambling to get
away. Preparations are going on in all
the buildings preparatory to imoving, but
so quietly that visitors are not annoyed.
The Plaisance people are hard to move,
and some of them say they are going to
stay two weeks longer, but Director
General Davis says they are not, and to-
day an order was issued prohibiting any
one walking through the Plaisance except
by special pass.
The men had their official closing yes
terday, and the women of the fair had
their turn to-day. The exercises were
held in the Women's building. and all the
distinguished ladies Identified with the
exhibition were present Mrs Potter
Palmer made the closing address. She
said. in part: Mingled with our regret at
seeing the exposition and this great op-
portunity for women coming to close, is
feeling of satisfaction that the aims and
ends proposed by the board OF lady
managers have been carried to success
full conclusion. We trust that such
sentiment has been created that hereafter
no Eoman will be forced to conceal her
sex and identity in order to secure just
treatment"

IS A BIG WAR NOW.
Spanish Troops in Morocco Sur
rounded by Moors.
1t Is No Longer Concealed That
Their Situation Is a Very
Grave One.

MADRID, Oct. 31.-The steamship Africa
from Melilla arrived at Malaga to-day and
brought the information that General
Ortega had succeeded in relieving the gar
risons at Nostro Gordo and Cabrerzas. The
Moors continue to make desultory attacks
upon the Spanish lines. They are busily
at work constructing trenches and have
advanced to within 600 yards of the Spanish
Notifications. In spite of the fire of the
forts which is continuously directed upon
them. 1t is thought that the Moors will
make another attack on the Spanish
forces before the reinforcing troops arrive
there, as it was noticed when the Africa
sailed that detachments of Moors were
continually arriving to reinforce the
already immense horde OF native troops
surrounding the Spaniards.
The soldiers at Fort Camalos are In the
worst position, as being most exposed to
Arab attack. 1t is no longer denied that
the Arabs and Moors around Melilla are
now besieging the Spaniards. and that the
latter have all they can do to hold their
own. Every day which elapses without
the arrival of reinforcements increases the
gravity of the situation and will force
Spain to send more and more men to the
front if she desires to drive those fighting
tribesmen from the hills.
A later dispatch just received here from
Melilla has caused quite a commotion.
The exact facts in connection with the
dispatch have not been made public. but
en- ough is known to warrant the assertion
that the military officers are discussing
the great difference existing between the
reports of the number killed and wounded
in the last battle before Melilla as given
out from official sources and those just re-
ceived. The latter assert at least that 100
were SpaDiards killed, that more than 800
were wounded and that over 100 were cap
tured. while others are reported missing.
The fate Of the wounded. captured and
missing is said to be too horrible to con-
template, in view of the shocking manner
in which a number of the wounded are
already known to have been mutlated.
The fact that Prince Ferdinand Bourbon
has been missing since the Spanish attack
on the Moors last Friday has caused the
Infanta Isabella much anxiety. The Prince
was last seen close to his battery outside
OF Fort Cabrerizas. and 1t IS supposed he
succeeded 10 reaching one of the block
AIDED forts, which has just been relieved.
The Minister of War has ordered that in
uuiries be made in regard to the Prince.

NEW YORK. Oct 31.-The Bank Of Eng
land has reduced the price for American
double eagles to 76s cd. The meaning of
the Bank of England's action in reducing
the price of double eagles is interpreted
here as move on its part to protect its
supply of sovereigns in view of the threat
ened withdrawal of gold from the bank in
the immediate future for shipment to the
United States. which London seems to
consider certain, despite the fact that the
current rate OF exchange does not admit Of
profit on such transactions.
