The Republicans stood ready almost
as d whole to repeal the purchasing
clause OF the silver law. and if it was
no: done the Democrats had but them
selves to blame, The power rested
with them TO legislate. Mills replied
ami declared the Democrats assumed
the responsibility. To this Mr..
Butler of South Carolina. an
anti-repea,er. inquired if Mr.. Mills
would go into the Democratic caucus
of the senate and when this matter
was decided there abide by the result?
Mr.. Mills replied. saying caucusses
were good things to settle on candi-
dates, but that otherwise their only
object was TO discuss the policy Of
parties This had been the universal
rule in congress, and men had not
been bound by caucusses to the ex-
tent OF voting for measures to which
they were opposed. After the whole
day had been consumed in saying I'M
pleasant things, the journal of Mon

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Right Hon.
Henry Asquith, secretary of state for
home affairs, made an important an
nouncement Tuesday night at Glas-
gov. Mr.. Asquith rectified the gen
eral impression formed after the de-
livery of Mr.. Gladstone's speech at
Edinburgh recently that the home
rule question would be revived during
the coming session OF parliament. The
home secretary continuing, said
though home rule would always be
kept in view by the government, the
next session OF the commons would
be devoted to a revision of the New
castle programme. This really meant
that the fears of the friends of home
rule have been realized and the great
Irish question will be shelved for
some time to come.

A RAILWAY HOLOCAUST.
Hesd.Ens Collision Occurs on the Grand Trunk
at Battle Greek, Mich.
PERSONS INSTANTLY KILLED.
While Twenb-seyen Rarred and Bleeding Victims
eroan in Agony at The Charity Hospital.
at Deaths Door

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. Oct. 21.-
The error OF one human being, a man
who crouched affrighted like a hunted
animal in prison cell last night. led
to the greatest railroad holocaust in
the history of Michigan yesterday, and
twenty-six human lives have paid the
penalty of a moments negligence.
Two trains, both laden with passen-
gers, met in direct head-end coils
ion on the Grand Trunk railroad at
$3.50 yesterday morning in the suburbs
OF this city, and that the number of
dead and injured was not four-fold
greater is due to the fortunate fact
that the collision occurred in
the suburbs of the city in
stead of the open country, where
both trains would have been running
at full speed. As it is, twenty-six
charred, disfgured, unrecognizable
bodies lie in the morgue Twenty
seven marred and bleeding victims
groan in agony in the charity hos
pital. How many Of those wounded
may die no one can tell. for the in
juries in many cases are internal and
quite unfathomable to only the super
fetal medical examination possible
now. All that surgical science can
do is being done, and the officials of
the Chicago and Grand Trunk rail
road are doing all possible to allevi-
ate the condition of the sufferers and
care for the victims of the dread full
disaster.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In the SEN
ate Saturday. Mr.. Jones said the
peuling bill was not merely the re-
pesling of the sherman law with a
view to providing a substitute for it.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Oct 20.-Arthur
kaufman, young man of Memphis,
who was in the wreck on the Wabash
road Monday evening, arrived home
Wednesday evening with his head
bound up in a Bloody white bandage,
which he regards as a most precious
possession. He says that gold and
jewels could not buy that strip of
cloth, and thereby hangs a tale.
Kaufmln says that when the collision
came something hit him and he lost
consciousness. When he regained his
senses he was lying beside the wreck
OF the car bleeding copiOusly from a
deep cut on the head and unable
to help himself. Just as he was
about to faint again from weakness
an awfully pretty girl came up and
spied him. She was Miss Taylor of
jefferson, Tex, who escaped injury
in the wreck. She realized that the
young man would bleed to death If he
was not attended to. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation she took her petit
coat and tearing out a strip bound it
tight on Kaufman's head. The bleed
ing was checked and his life was
saved. To say that he feels deeply
grateful to the fair young Texan
would be drawing it very mindly and
he VOWS he viii keep the bandage as
long as he lives.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The SEN
ate's decision to take a recess instead
of an ad! Comment last night will have
the effect of doing away with the
morning business when the question
of the rules on the pending motion is
disposed of, and as the hour of con-
vening is fixed at 10 instead of II
O'Clock it will materially increase the
time for consideration OF the financial
bill. Some of the silver men set out
to filibuster against the change. but
the number was so small that they
concluded to listen to the advice of
friends and agree to the change
which would afford an opportunity TO
do all the work of the senate during
the day.

between the opposing forces to check

of the leaders of the repeal side to
attempt to so arrange matters as not
to make another effort to secure a

not perfected. had the effect of caus-

for quorum and permitting Mr.. Pe!-
fer to continue his remarks without
interrupt on from the call bell. If the
arrangement is completed, as now
seems probable, there will be no more
