CHICAGO, ILLS, Oct. 30.- Spe- cial. --Arkansas has again distin. guished herself in the capture of awards. This morning we received the highest award for the largest and best display of apples, the highest award for seedlings and four special premiums.
 We not only received the awards, but received the highest award and that means the highest over the world.
 Oregon and Missouri made a re- spectacle display, but from the first 1t was conceded that there was no chance for these states to win unless they could secure their exhibits from the apple orchards of Arkansas. Missouri attempted this, but Commissioner Vincenheller dis covered the purpose in time to de- feat it.
 Arkansas people here are rejoic- ing to day over this last award.

DAY OF TRIUMPH.
THERE WAS AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE IN
 THE SENATE.
LOST BATTLE.
The v g5ssa...5..., ,f Those Who Have Fought
 Repeal Sheaihed at Last.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-This has been a field day in the senate. No more interest has been manifested at any previous stage of the long eight weeks struggle than was man ifested to-day when the question at issue had been virtually decided, when the battle had been waged aud won, when the weapons of the opponents of unconditional repeal had been sheathed and the victorious forces were simply awaiting the final vote to register their triumph.
 To day the leaders of the opposing factions delivered valedictories to the country. From one side came justification for the long opposition and reasons for the ultimate surren- der. From the other a calm dis passioned statement of prin- ciples for which the majority contended, and the meaning of the victory achieved. The public had ample warning of the great speeches to be delivered, and before II o'clock the galleries were black with people, and the press gallery was thronged with newspaper cor respondents, who had vigilantly watched this fercely contested battle from it's outset. From the heavily upholstered diplomatic gallery number 0; foreign ministers looked down and listened. The scene on the floor was impressive. Almost every seat was occupied, while a hundred representatives from the lower house were ranged against the wall. A death-like stiffness prevailed, broken only by the rise and fall of the voices of the speakers. The senate and galleries seemed awe-stricken. Every one seemed deeply affected with the idea that the result of this great parlia- mentary struggle was about to be terminated, fraught with gigantic importance to the country, and a policy was about to be inagurated for veal or woe to 67 GOO, 900 people.

DASTARDLY MURDERERS.
A WOMAN DRAGGED BEHIND A BUGGY
 FOR EIGHT BLOCKS.
A HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Identity of the Occupants of the Buggy Discovered--The Case Now
 on Trial.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 30.-To-day there will be called for trial for the fourth time in the criminal court the case wherein Alex. and Louis Lam dau, wealthy hide merchants, are charged with murder in the second degree, causing the death of Miss Augusta Lowell. The tragedy resulting in the death of the lady was one of the most noted in the criminal history of St. Louis, and the arrest of the Landaus two years later for the crime and the charges of conspiracy made by them with a counter-charge made against them by the prosecution in spiritiEg away witness made the case sensa- tional in the extreme. Miss Lowell was teacher in the normal school, and met her death in a horrible manner. In De- cember 2, 1890, while crossing
  Graud and Delmar avenues shortly before dusk she was run into by a horse attached to a buggy in which two men were seated. Without stopping to see whether the lady was injured one of the men whipped the horse and drove rapidly away. The unfortunate woman's cloth ing became entangled in the vehicle and she was dragged eight blocks before freed. When picked up by persons who had seen the accident and followed the buggy Miss Lowell was unconscious and died several hours later at the city hospital. No trace of the men in the buggy could be found. Two years later Chief Harrigan was in formed that young Louis Landau, a nephew of the men now charged with the crimes clerk in the Chemi cal National Bank, stated to several persons that his uneles were the men so long sought for.

THAT COLLAPSED COMPROMISE.

 Assurances.

Carlisle Gave the Committee
 Assurances.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. BOA rumor was current Saturday to the effect that Senator Jones, of Arkansas, has in bis possession in the hand writing of Secretary Carlisle, DOT ton of the proposed compromise which the Democratic members had signed last Saturday. When seen by a representative of The Post last night Senator Jones said there was no truth in the statement. q have no memoranda or paper or any, thing else connected with that com promise,'' he said.
 "I will say this, however, he added, "I do believe that the com mittee which waited upon Secretary Carlisle left him with the impression that such a compromise which they suggested would be acceptable to him and to the president. l believe this because it has been so stated by two senators who participated in the conference, and on account of the indignation shown by the repeal sen ators when they found that the agree ment was repudiated by the presi- dent through Secretary Carlisle. v

pARDoNED BY THE PRESIDENT
George Brashears and Pinkey Hanks, Ar kansas Convicts, Given New
 Lease of Life.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-The president has granted a pardon to George Brashears, sentenced in Ar kansas to be hanged for murder, ,and the sentence commuted in 1889 to imprisonment for life. In extend ing clemency to the convict the president says there was lack of deliberation in the crime which be- longs to murderers, and that there is strong probability that Brashears is innocent. Pinkey Hanks, con victed in Arkansas of assault with intent to kill and sentenced last July to a year in the Minnesota state prison, is pardoned on the recommendation of the trial judge and district attorney. The presi- dent says there appears to have been much provocation for the as sault. A pardon is denied J M Elder, convicted in Tennessee of counterfeiting.

 WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 30.- Prendergast's bullets, which took the life of Mayor Carter H. Harrison Saturday night, might have found Judgement in the heart of a United States senator or the presi- dent of the United States. For full two weeks before the murder of Chicago s mayor the assassin had been direct ing messages through the mails to at least one United States senator which indicated that his mind was intensely wrought up agrainst President Cleveland.
 The burden of all these communi- cations was the silver question, and Prendergast disclosed that he was devotee of silver even to the point of an unbalanced mind. Letters came to Senator Du- bois, of Idaho, first about October 9, and since then a morning has not passed without the receipt of a let ter from Prendergast.

 WASHINGTON, D. c. Oct. 30.-It seems to be generally understood now the senate will pass the Chinese extension bill while the house is considering the river bill. Several Pacific coast men said that if the senate should amend the bill as has been suggested by striking out all amendments and making it simply an extension of six months, that a quorum would be needed in the house to pass the amended bill. The California members do not propose to give up what they gain in exten- sion with the amendments they pro- pose and which the house accepted.

Vote win Be Taken Monday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The prospect at this time is that the greater part of the day will be given to speech making, although voting on the amendments may be resumed later this afternoon. There is no especial desire, however, on the part of the repeal members to secure a vote upon the bill before Mon- day or Tuesday, because there are several absentees who are ex- pected to be here by that time and who desire to have their votes re- corded. It is not supposed that the vote will be postponed for their re- turn, but as there are several speeches yet to be made, including those of German, Cockrell, Dubois, Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, and probably others, and these in all probability will consume the greater pa.t of the day. There will be few shcrt speeches after the amendments are disposed of and before tbe vote is token upon the bill itself.

A TALE OF An OVERCOAT.

A story, said never to have been
printed more that a thousand times
before, is of certain Brooklyn woman
who finds a peculiar significance now
in the words of the psalmist, Pride
goeth before destruction and naughty
spirit before a fall" Her husband is
a man of prejudices, and one of them
is against wearing an overcoat that
costs more than SIS.
This notion sorely tried mis- wife's
aristocratic ideas, and when expostu-
lation and entreaty awaited nothing
she resorted to strategy. Collision
with his tailor, on the occasion Of his
recent need of an outdoor garment,
permitted his purchase of a sos coat
for his usual price, $15.
The wife duly paid the difference
and was happy-for few days.
Within a fortnight an old friend
met her husband and at once noticed
the unusual elegance of his new over
coat. "Why, how's this J? You are
wearing better clothes than you used
to-"
Not at ALL" he replied; ''this is
one of my ordinary fifteen-dollar over
coats"
ut isl Well, I'll give you ss5 for
it."
cts yours" was the prompt reply,
and the bargain was completed on the
spot.
When the husband reached home
his wife was surprised at lis appear

"Why, where's your coat 2' she
asked
"Oh," was the complacent reply, "a
fool down town offered me $25 for it
and / took it, lCurtain.l

CONSTRUCTOR AND CANARY.

| from harperS weekly.
When the boa-constrictor fixes his
glittering eye on the canary-bird, the
canary-bird becomes exceedingly rest
less, and flutters and tries to get away.
But it does not succeed. 1t cannot
escape the boa-constrictor's fascina-
tions, and in spite of all it's shudder-
ing struggles, it stays where 1t was
and gets swallowed up.
There could hardly be an apter illus
tration of the attitude of the gentler
sex toward crinoline: The intelli-
| gence has gone out that crinoline is
coming. All Caucasian womahkind
has heard the news, and believes it,
but we have not learned of any wom-
an mot deformedD who is pleased at
the prospect. The American girl
| shudders: at it. There is anxious
eagerness in her vision as she picks up
the newest fashion paper and looks at
the pictures. "See," she says, "hOw
skirts are spreading already at the
bottom. 1t has begun to come. 1t
will reach the knee by June, and the
waist by Thanksgiving" She thinks,
| with a grimace, of the inconvenience
of hoop-skirts at horse shows and foot
ball games but not to wear them if
they come does not enter her mind.
If the big shops once sell them, and
the people of high fashion once put
them on, that settles it. In the matter
of garments her duty is perfectly SIM
pie, and free from complications. 1t
is to buy what is sold in the big shops
and worn by the people of the first
fashion. If she hesitates, what
happens The big shops start
sacrifice sale, and offer bargains.
Then there is no hope. She is gone
Bargains and the height of fash
ion at the same time Resistance
is worse than vain it is extravaganza.
A fortnight later it is done, and three
girls abreast measure precisely the
width of the sidewalk on Fifth Ave
nue..
Yet it is a solemn thing to revive
| such a monstrosity as the hoop-skirt.
Think of the effect of such a radical
change of fashion on the value of half
worn gowns Think howit will work
in the town of Boston, where some of
the most crowded thoroughfares have
sidewalks only five or six feet wide.
In years time, when the mode shall
have environed the indispensable Or
der of serving maids, think of the re-
sulting inconvenience to people with
small dining-rooms
1t is pity that all women should
think it necessary to keep in the fash
ion. That is well enough for people
who are chiefly concerned with the
ceremonial side of life, to whom garb
is an amusement, and bedizenment a
recreation. But it would seem as if
women to whom gowns appeal in some
measure as clothing, and who have to
wear their clothes out, might feel
somewhat less constrained to rehabi-
litate their wardrobes according to all
the casual fluctuations of modish ap-
parels.
But it does not work that way. The
canary has wings, to be sure, but once
the boa-constrictor's eye is on it, it
cannot fly away. 1t cries out and
fiutters and struggles, but in the end
the serpent makes meal of it, and
smiles and wipes his mouth.
