even should the repeal bill be

by senators who had conferences
with him. It renewed the con6-
dense OF friends to unconditional
repeal who asserted their unwayer

the measure, Ths publication
that feeling of esmpromise was
ia the air led great many South
srR senators to hope perhaps the
crown of thorns which one said
they are to be asked to wenr might
be lifted from their hesda aud
anxious brows. Their proposition
is we'll knowR. With the interests
OF their party at heart they are
faia to present il possible some
salys which woald take away the
soreness OF Unconditional repeal
The debate in the sesate is arous-

Edwin Gould Startled.
persed

New YORK, Oct. 3O.-Edwin Gould,
the second son of the late Jay Gould,
and co-heir to the latter's millions, had
his first startling experience with
cranks this afternoon. At O'Clock, as
Gould was sitting in his private office,
stability dressed man entered, walked
to the desk and said: ''Give me S., 900
and give it to me quick, or give me
tip on the market"
Gould asked him to sit down until he
got the money from the safe The
crank sat down and Gould, stepping to
a side door, summoned Detective Clark,
who quickly took the young man to the
police headquarters. Gould had been
prepared for his visitor, who had called
at noon today and being told by the
clerk that Gould was out, said he would
return by ? o'clock, when he wanted a
tip on the market or $4,000.
At police headquarters the crank said
his name was Mongolia Andrews and
that he was "a years old. His object in
going to Gould was to get back SIS 900
which he lost In Rosdale, Kan, while
working on railroad in Gould's system.
The police think him to be insane. In
a notebook in his pocket was list of
wealthy men of New York city with
figures beside the name of each one, in
dicating what Andrews thought they
were worth.

Frederick MatthieS Probably Fatally
Wounded by Crank.
EDWIN GOULD STARTLED
A Man Enters His Office and Demands
$5,OOO-Was Promptly Arrested
and Lodged in Jail.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O-At $3.50 this after
noon a crazy man, said to be named
Thomas Bradley, shot and probably
fatally wounded Frederick Matthies,
superintendent of construction of the
new postal telegraph building on Broad
way.
Bradley was lockedu in the city hall
police station last night as suspicious
character, but was released this morn
ing. Workme2 about the postal build
ing say he was loafng around all day
hiding behind piles of brick. In the
afternoon he came out and said the
police and Superintendent Matthies
were trying 10 murder him for stealing
$500. Soon after he stepped up to
Matthies and deliberately fired two
shots into his stomach.
An Infatuated mob quickly gathered
and the police had difficult task to get
the murderer out. Workingmen in the
building and other members of the mob
wanted to lynch him.
Bradley hid behind pile of cornice
material, revolver in hand. The police
fired number of shots and ordered him
to come out. Bradley finally came out
on run and when the policemen seized
him he fought like a wild cat. 1t re-
CURED a severe clubbing to subdue him,
and when the policeman got through
with him he was sorry sight. He was
taken to the station and the crowd dis
persed.

SILVER MEN DIE HARD.
There Promises to be short, but Sharp
Struggle in the House.

WAsHINeTo N, Oct. 31.-The 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 submission. The
mode of procedure in the house tomor-
row will probably be that as the speaker
lays the bill before the house amend
ments upon that will demand
the previous question. Then someone
will suggest that time be given for de-
bate. Mr.. Wilson will insist upon the
previous question. Then flibustering
will begin.
1t is doubtful how much strength the
silver men will have, but there is little
doubt that these men will have sufficient
strength to call the ayes and noes, and
that will force the committee on rules
to report the cloture resolution. This
will be done if filibustering begins.
The repealers have been worried about
a quorum and today could count but
165 members who voted against all the
amendments when the bill was pend
ing in the house before, and if all the
members, about 1870, who supported sill.
yer in some form, should refuse to vote
on the various motions, it would leave
the house without a quorum, but it is
understood they will not do this. Mr..
Bland will be given an opportunity to
commit the bill TO his committee On
coinage, weights and measures, as such
a motion is privileged under the rules.
1t would, of course, be voted down.
1t is probable that the committee
will fix the time for voting on the bill
at some time tomorrow evening, per,
haps about o'clock.

killed the Robber for spite.

KALIsPELL, Mont, Oct. 27.-Sensa-
tional developments have followed the
killing of Jack White, the Northern Pa
ciac train robber, who was shot in the
mountains Monday by j. P. Gensman.
The coroner's jury commenced an in
vestigation Tuesday. The only evil
dence before it was that of the bandits
slayer. Some doubt arose as to the
identity of the dead man, which doubt
ripened into a suspicion that serious
blunder had been made. The Jury
found that Gensman killed White with
felonious intent, and late last evening
he was arrested on a charge of murder
There is much speculation as to the
outcome of the case.

be killed, was arrested today and sent
to the asylum. No attention was paid
to his letters till Carter Harrison was
assassinated, when it was thought best
to lock him up and dispose of him.

EXPOSITION IN MOURNING.
Closing Day Ceremonies viii Give Way
to a Great Public Meeting.

Closing Day Ceremonies Will Give Way
to Great Public Meeting.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Chicago is today
overwhelmed with sorrow and shame.
Her citizens mourn for the man who
stood closer to the peoples heart than
any other man who lived or died within
her boundary lines or has been in any
way connected with the city's growth
and progress. The feeling of shame is
that just at the close of the greatest
and most glorious period of her
municipal history, just at the dawn of a
brighter period than she has ever be-
fore experienced, the dark crime of
murder should leave red blot on her
record.
From all ranks and conditions of
men there comes but one voice and it
is that of grief. Carter Henry Harri-
son was without question the most
popular man among the residents of
Chicago. He had more of the spirit of
audacity, endurance and activity char
acteristic of Chicago than any other
man. The feeling of sorrow is not
stronger than the mortified civic pride
which burdens Chicagoans down. 1t
may be that there exists for Chicago
days of greater pride, of higher glory
than she has yet beheld, but there can
never be day of greater grief or more
p oignant sorrow.
The remains of Mr.. Harrison lay all
day in the room which has always been
occupied by him as a sleeping room.
Late this afternoon death mask was
executed, and the result is said to be a
most lifelike representation. Tomor-
row the body will be made ready for
lying in state at the city hall.
The coroner's inquest was held today
at his residence, but exec pit for tech
meal description of his wounds no news
was exhibited. The verdict was in ac-
cordance with the facts, and recon-
mended that Prendergast be held for
murder until discharged by due process
of law. Pendergast was present at the
| inquest and maintained a stolid indif-
ference except when attracted by the
presence of Mrs. Chalmers. He asked
if she was Mrs. Harrison, and said he
wanted to tell her ne was sorry for her
trouble.
Seldom has anything awakened such
deep sorrow among the residents of
Chicago as the death of Mayor Harrison.
The most signal evidence of sorrow
will be the absence of all festivities at
the fair tomorrow. Director General
