She had lost the little brass check
given her at the Day Nursery in the

DaDy, and she was iii dreadful state

the matron would not surrender the
babe in the absence or the check. be-
| cause chlldless mothers had been
known to attempt to steal children
from similar institutions, claiming
pretty youngsters and pretending to
have lost their checks
In this case the woman was So
hOmely and so plainly dressed and
the baby of years so pretty and so
richly attired that the mattrOn's sus-
picionS were aroused.
"No check, no baby" was the CON

tears flowed in torrents so awful was
the predicament in which she

Matron Hall consented to the trial
twenty Youngsters Of about the
same age were ranged in a row in the
nursery and tn nearly crazed mother
was admitted under promise that
she would not speak or otherwise at

The trial was brief and satisfactory.

the forward section which was made up
of cages with four sleepers in the rear.
The last two cars were telescoped and
the inmates were awakened from their

COMPROMISE FAILS.
Democratic Plan to End the Silver Contest
Cannot Be Carried Out.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 23.-IhoSe
who were expecting to see the Demo-
cratic compromise bill introduced in the
Senate this morning and speedily passed
through that body found when the SEN
ate met at 10 o'clock that they would
more than likely be doomed to disap-
pointment, and as the day wore on the
indications in that direction became still
more marked. The opinion is now very
general among senators who will discuss
the question at all that the compromise
bill over which senators were so SAN
guine Saturday will never be introduced
In the Senate. The reason for this
change in the situation is found in
the fact that the compromisers have
been unable to get sufficient number
of pledges to guarantee the passage of
the bill in case it should be in
troduced, and they have said
from the beginning that they
would bring in no bill unless its pas
sage could be assured before its
introduction. Statements differ as to
the exact number of Democratic sem
ators who have signed the agreement,
but the best authority obtainable places
the number at thirty-nine, or four less
that a majority. These four they have
SO far found it utterly i'm
possible to obtain on the Dem
Ocratic side of the chamber,
and all overtures to Republicans have
so far been repealed without exception.
1t can be definitely stated that the
members of the steering committee
have made individual appeals to a great
many Republican senators, but have
been rebuffed alike by repeal and silver

long after that day as practicable
to allow visitors to cast last glance at
the White City before it is RACED to the

hasty tour Of the grounds.

here to-day. The state building is the
central point for visitors and the big
register is filled with names of citizens
of the Empire State. Tonight the
chiefs of department will give recep-

Massachusetts state building and the
guests will be received by Chiefs Ali
son, Barrett, Skif, Robinson, Buchan-
an, Ives, Smith, Samuels, Fearn, Col
Inns, Putnam and Handy. The old
colonial building has been decorated
deliberately for the occasion.
This IS Chicago's trades and CONT
mental day at the exposition. The
events of the greatest interest will be
on Wednesday, Marine day. A night
and day parade of boats will be
given on the lagoons and a mimic
battle with pyrotechnics will be the
browning event There will be twenty
boats divided into attacking and de-
Tending fleets. Each fleet is to be IL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-Gov
Hughes, of Arizona, had an important
conference with Minister Romero, of
Mexico, yesterday, touching improve
ments Of the Colorado River which
would add to its importance as a
channel Of commerce. The Gov
Iernor represented to Mr. Romero
that the Colorado is the second
largest stream on the Pacific Coast and
said that with secure ietties at the
mouth and with some dredging along
the course of the stream it could be
made nayigable for a length of 900
miles, far up into Arizona and Nevada.
he stated that the mountainous re-
gion Of the western part of the
United States traversed by this
stream was rich in minerals, while
the lower country would soon become
q fine agricultural and horticultural
region. Minister Romero was very
much impressed with the representa-
ton made by the Governor and said he
would recommend that his government
give the matter attention.
