BATTLE CREEK HORROR.
THE BODIES or FIVE MORE VICTIMS
 IDENTIFIED THIS MORNING.
coRoNeR,s INQUEST.
The District Attorney Will Spare No Effort
 to Bring Out All the Facts.

BATTLE CREEK, MlcH., Oct. 23.
 Late last night two more bodies burned in the Grand Trunk wreck were identified as those of Mir. aud Mrs. Chas. Sake, of New York city. They were identified by brother from that sity. Three more bodies were identified this morning. Fol lowing is the list: Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Dolman, Tilsonburg, Ont. :; J. J. Brown, Stratbey, Ont.
 The coroner's inquest on the aw- ful railroad horror is set for 9 0 clock this morning, and sensational legal developments are ex- pected. Owing to the absence of one of the jurors, however, it was sometime after that before proceed ings commenced. Prosecutor Clarke is the busiest man in Battle Creek this morning. He means to leave no stone uaturned in sitting the horrible affair to the bottom. 1 know convictions are seldom obtained in thess cases, he said this morning, but I think the re- suit will be different in this one. The coroner's inquest was first. 1 adjourned the criminal examina- ton until after that was complete. I will myself examine the witnesses before Coroner Gillett. My req son for wishing to have the inquest first is because proceedings of that character admits of greater license in the matter of examining witnesses. l do not know whether Engineer Wooley and Conductor Scott have retained c3un- sel or not, but 1 presume they have. There is nothing connected with the entire tragedy that will not try to bring out at the inquest. Neither will higher officials be left out of the examination. I mean to find out whether rush of business induced them to employ incompetent subordinates, and if so why they shall not be responsi- ble for such acts. There are a great many features which will bear in vestigstion.
 'fI cannot understand why a high building should have been placed inside curve where the accident occurred, effeetually shutting off all view in each direction, when we have an ordinance which prohibits the running of trains within the city limits at greater speed than two miles per hour. l think the speed made by the east bound train must have been greater from the time it left tne' depot in crder to strike with such terrible force. The conflicting stateme of the engineer and Conductor Scott must also be strengthened out come- how. It is matter in which the whole country is interested aad in which there must be no hesitan3y at the truth.

WILLFUL WASTE.
4 SUPPOSED MANIAC FIRES INTO THE
 CROWD THIS MORNING
TO ATTRACT ATTENTION.
It Cast Damper Over the Festivities in
 Honor of the Russians

PARIS, Oct. 21.-The outrageous conduct of supposed maniac dis turbed the peaceful programme of the Russian visit and cast damper over the festivities. Early this morning as the Russians were re- turning to the military club, after a whole day enjoyment, man who was in the crowd watching the Rus sian officers enter the club suddenly drew his revolver and fired into the thick throng5 of people as- sembled on the Place de II0pera. The shot caused a panic, for 1t was believed one of the Russians Lad been shot. In fact the report spread that an attempt had been made upon the life of Admiral Avellan by German fanatic. This report was, however, without foundation. The man who fired the shot into the crowd was promptly seized by citizens and handed over to the police, who made rush in force to the scene of the disturbance. The prisoner is man about 90 years of age, and was taken into the Mil itary Club, where he gave his name as Willis, and when questioned as to the motive for the shooting said he suffered the utmost misery and became sick seeing huge sums squandered upon foreigners, while many thousands Frenchmen in Paris were alone suffering from the want of loaf of bread to give to their starving families. Continuing Willis said he wished to protest againsf such an outrage, and ht thought the best way to do st was to attract attention to this will fui waste of money. The Russian officers received the czar's orders no to dance until after the funeral Marshal MacMahon, and in conse quence the Russians merely walked through the saloons of Hotel Devill last night, where they were guest of the municipality.

A LAKE MYSTERY.
An Unknown Steamer Lies in Thirteen
 Fathoms of Water.

Fathoms of Water.
 CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 23.--A large vessel, evidently steamer, has gone to the bottom of Lake Erie a few miles from this port. Who she is or when she went down is mystery. Capt Joseph Single with the fishing tug R. J Roy, made tho startling discovery yesterday. He was roaming cut his lift nets and saw the spars of the sunken vessel protruding from the water. There are three single-stick spars with white painted tops, each ornamented with gilt spheres. About thirty-fve feet are exposed. The vessel is twenty three miles from this port, Capt. Single took soundings and found that she was lying in thirteen fathoms of water. Capt. Single is of the opin- ion that she is large steamer. Her identity is mystery. No vessels have yet been reported lost. The unknown must have gone down since Friday for the wreck was not seen on tbat day by boats passing the spot. When she could have gone down is a mystery, All sorts of theories are advanced in regard to the wreck. The one most aecepta- ble of all is tat there was collision between two large vessels during the heavy fog last Saturday night. h. quiry among vesselmen this morning failed to throw any light upon the mystery. No vessels are reported overdue.
 Later, ]. NJ. Jones, oS the firm of J. NJ. Jones & Bro, vessel agents, told an Associated Press represen- tative this morning that the foun- dered boat was undoubtedly the schooner Riverside. She had been missing since the big storm of the 18th and no tidings had been gleaned from her since that time. The River idle was commanded by Capt Far rington, Detroit, and his wife and cook were on the boat,
 She carried five other persons, all of whom were undoubtedly lost. The only names that could be learned of the missing ones are Joseph Hargeaves, mate, and son, John Hargreaves, and John Harge, botL seamen

SENATE PROCEEDINGS. MIR. STEWART WANTS A CONFERENCE FOR THE ADOPTION OF A CON-
 MON SlLVERuC0IN
A LEGAL TENDER.
Jones Enters Upon the Fourth Instaii- ment of His Argument
 Against the Bin.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 23.- The senate entered upon the twelfth week of the present session at 10 o'clock this morning, no adjour4- ment having occurred since a week ago to-day, the legislative day, Tuesday, October IT, still contin- uing. Mr. Stewart (Rep.), of Ne vada, gave notice of an amendment which he intended to offer to the re- peal bill, proposing that a conference be he'd in Washington within nine months between delegates of the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, Hayti and San Domingo, for the adoption of common silver coin to be legal tender in ali commercial transactions between the citizens of the countries represented in the conference.
 A house joint resolution for print ing 2000 copies of the hearings be- fore the committee on ways and means of the house was agreed to, with an amendment making the number 4000, to be divided equally between the senate and the house.
 The consideration of the bill to repeal the purchasing clauses of the silver act of 1890 was re- sumed and Mir. Jones (Repubiican, of Nevada), entered upon the fourth installment of his argument in opposition to the bill Mir. Jones made a elaborate agument. He was advancing when the senate took a recess Saturday evening, that the standard of the country should be neither gold, silver nor any material thing, but whatever the standard might be it was quantitive, and the value of each unit depended upon the number of units, and there should be but single standard in the country and that one quantity.

NO COMP PROMISE.
IF NOW LOOKS AS IF THE FIGHT WILL
 HAVE TO GO ON
FOR REPEAL
Only Thirty Nine Democratic Senators Signed the Agreement 10 Support
 inc Compromise Bill.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Those who expected to see a Democratic compromise bill introduced in the senate this morning and speedily passed through found when the senate metat 10 o'clock they would likely be doomed to disappointment, and as the day wore on the indica tions in that direction became still more marked The opinion is now very general among senators who discuss the matter at all that the compromise bill over which senators were sang uine Saturday will never be introduced in the sen ate. The reason for this change in tbe situation is found in the fact that the com promisers have been unable to get a sufficient number of pledges to guarantee the passage of the bill in case 1t should be introduced, and they said at the beginning they would bring in no bill unless its passage could be assured before its introduction. Statements differ as to the exact number of Democratic senators who signed the agreement, but the best authority obtainable places the number at thirty nine, or four less than 6 majority. These four they have so far found it utterly impossible to obtain on the Demo cratic side of the chamber, and all overtures to Republicans so far have been repelled without exception. It can be definitely stated that mem- bers of the steering committee have made individual appeals to a great many Republican senators, but have been rebuffed alike by repeal and silver senators.
 CLoTURE IS THE REMEDY.
 Senator Voorhees, states this af- ternoon that he will move an ad iournment at the close of today s session of the senate until II c'clock tomorrow, and will not attempt to prolong the legislative day last Tues day upon which the senate is still working. It is a matter of surmise as to whether this will be done for the purpose of bringing up cloture, but 1t can be used for that purpose if desired, and decomposition IS naturally that he desires to prepare the way for 1t if he should deem it advisable to bring it up. The preponderanee of opinion is that it will be very difficult to pass a cloture resolution. The Republican repeal senators are by no means united upon the adviseability of cloture resolution though very strong pressure has been put upon them to get them to agree to it unanimously. The out look in the senate now is for ,on- tinued debate upon the repeal bill. When it became apparent to-day that the compromise scheme had failed the silver men renewed their old tactics of calling for a quorum.

to the honorable superintendent of public instruction of Arkansas as a testimonial of their appreciation of his great work in the field of pop ular education, and of bis judicial fairness towards all nations, and espe- cially towards Russia. This cere- mony represents a Russian custom, and is the highest honor we pay a man. The loaf is emblematic of the needs of life, and it's presentation is always wish and hope that you may always have bread, good bread, and plenty of 1t. The cup contains the salt, without which the bread is valueless. But the salt must come from God and it must have it's savor. The material things of life are bread and wine, but they are of little value unless savored by intellectual wisdom, genuine human affection and courteous demeanor. As su- perintendent of schools 1t is your work to give salt -good salt and plenty of it. See that chiid-life is sayored with beauty, taste, iudg- ment and love and you will never be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. Children who have this salt are beautiful as the grapes that cluster on that stem before you without it they separate from the stem, roll loosely to the floor in confusion and are lost. Ac- cept this loaf and my words as testimonial of the lasting regard of the Russian people. !"
 It is hard for an American to bow low, in fact 1t is hard to bow at all, but the custom, simple as it is, de- mands bow, and Professor Shinn did his best, but he utterly failed to master its intricacies in any graceful manner. Russians say, Americans are not born to bow, out they know how to speak 1" Whether the speech was better than the bow is not known, but the warm pressure of hands indicated general satisfac- tion.
 A great Hindoo doctor in parting with anothee doctor who was starting for the Worlds Fair said, "Don't let American enthusiasm tempt you into speechifying. The gods love tranquility and thought" {"
 This same doctor had not been at Chicago two months before he made thirty-eight speeches, and good ones too.
 At the close of the reception a lady rose and said: "I thank you for your kinds words, Mr. Shinn. It is not the custom of my country for ladies to speak, and 1 had resolved never to speak in public. But the American air is full of eloquence, and Ameri can energy begets enthusiastic words. 1 thank you again and go back to secure obscurity, proud of the fact that your language has made me break my promise, and also proud of the fact that l have made one little speech"
 That night this same lady said "The ice is broken. 1 can speak and hereafter 1 will speak. ]"
 So the letters break, so customs go down, so language becomes power, so American ways find copy ists and worsbipers.
