THE REPEAL BILL.

What the Bill Repeating the Purchasing
Clause OF the Sherman Act Provides.
The bill that caused such long de-
bate in the United States senate and at
one time threatened to upset 'sena-
torial courtesy" and traditions, is not
such formidable looking affair after
all as to length. 1t is short, and debate
on it occupied nearly three months and
reports of tho speeches filed five vol
umes of the Congressional Record.
Here Is the bill:
Be It enacted. etc:
That so much of the act approved
July 4, 1890, entitled IAN act directing
the purchase of silver bullion and the
issue of treasury notes thereon, and
for other purposes" as directs the Sec
rotary Of the treasury to purchase from
time to time silver bullion to the ag-
gregate amount of 4,5O0,0o0 ounces, or
SO much thereof as may be offered in
each month ut the price thereof, not
exceeding one dollar for 37l.25 grains
of pure silver, and to issue in payment
for such purchases treasury notes OF
the United States, be and the same is
hereby repealed.
And it is hereby declared to be the
policy Of the United States to continue
the use of both gold and silver as
standard money and to coin both gold
and silver into money of equal intrinsic
exchangeable value, such equality to
be secured through international
agreement or by such safeguards OF
legislation as will insure the main
tenance of the parity in value of the
coins of the two metals and the equal
power of every dollar at all times in
the markets and in the payments OF
debts. And it is hereby further de-
clared that the efforts of the govern
ment should be steadily directed in the
establishment of such safe system of
bimetallism as will maintain at all
times the equal power of every dollar
coined or issued by the United States
in the markets and in the payments Of
of debts.

REAR END.
Disastrous Collision on the Rock
Island at Chicago.
THE BLAME LAID TO A DENSE FOG.
Three Persons Killed and Twenty Injured
Wreck on n Texas Raiiway-Two
Tramps Mangled on Top OF
Car.

CHICAGO. Nov. 9.-By a rear end col
lision on the Chicago, Rock Island 81
Pacific yesterday evening at Seventy
first street three people were killed
and twenty injured. Passenger train
No. IL, known as the limited vestibule
express, crashed into the rear end of u
Blue Island accommodation, badly
wrecking two coaches and the engine
of the limited.
The due Island accommodation is
scheduled to leave the city few min
utes ahead of the limited train, and
both pulled out on time. The accom-
rotation stopped at Seventy-third
express bearing down on it at the rate,
it is said of twenty miles an hour. A
heavy fog had settled over the city in
the evening, and it was almost impos-
sible to clearly discern signal lights.
The engine of the express train
plowed it's way into the rear coach of
the accommodation. The car was
picked up and carried forward so great
was the momentum, and was driven
with terrible force into the end of the
second coach from the rear. The ex-
plosion of lamp ignited the wood
work in the debris, and the fire soon
began to spread rapidly.
An alarm was at once sent to the fire
department, but before any Of the en-
gines had arrived the majority of the
dead and wounded had been taken from
the wreck, some of them, however,
being badly burned The engine at
tachcd to the limited express had been
partly demolished, aud pouring from
one end of its escape pipes was a con-
slant stream of scalding stream This
made the work of rescue almost an im-
possibility at times. Men were driven
back time and time again, and often
the workmen were slightly scalded.
The two trains leave the main depot
ten minutes apart. Owing to the dense
fog both had fallen six minutes behind
time ut Englewood. The suburban
train makes three stops between Engle-
wood and Seventy-frst street, while
the through train makes none. The
limited gained on the suburban train
after leaving Englewood and struck it
before the signals could be discerned
through the fog.
KILLED IN TUNNEL
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Nov. 1.-TWO
men were killed on the Missouri Paci-
fic road at the tunnel, near this place,
Yesterday morning. They were on the
top of a car in the first section of the
east-bound express train stealing q
de, and were killed by being struck by
the roof of the tunnel. The crushed
and mangled remains of one fell in the
tunnel, but the other was carried on
several miles before it rolled to the
ground. On the body of one was found
letter signed ELLA" written at
Decatur, Ill, September 90, 1893. and
addressed to William L. Hill, Spikes
town, Mimi. This was all that could
be found to identify the men.

fatal. injuring of three Others, namely,

from Chicago and has wife living
there. The trains came together on
short turn, and were running ut full
speed.
Engineer Leech was caught between
the boiler-head and tank. He lived
two hours after the collision, perfectly
conscious all the time and begging bis
fellow workmen to kill him. After
death it was found necessary to cut of
his legs close to the body in order to
extricate the body from the wreck
The cause of the wreck was misun-

THE TARIFF BILL.
The Needs of the Treasury Cause Modi'
fcatlon of Views.

The Needs of the Treasury Cause Modi-
fcatlon of Views.
WASHINGTON, Nov 6.-There Is o
growing impression among those who
have talked with majority members OF
the committee on ways and means,
who are preparing q tariff bill, that
this bill will not present such radical
reduction as was promised some time
ago. Just what led to this is not clear,
except that the deficit in the treasury
makes it important that the reductions
of the duty shall not be so radical rs to
impair the revenue-raising qualities OF
the measure. There have been numer-
Gus expedients talked of to raise suffi.
cient revenue, chiefly those relating to
an increase of internal taxation, 1t
has been intimated that these sugges-
tions have been given out with the
idea of testing the feelings of the peo-
pie upon them, and to see If they will
be too much of burden upon those
who will have to bear them.
Indeed, some members are opposed
to charging the free list to any extent
in few and unimportant articles, es-
pecially when the revenues of the gov
eminent are in their present condition.
There is now talk about reduction
upon coal and iron ore instead OF send
ing both Of these articles to the free
list. 1t is true that in all that has
been said about the tariff bill, nothing
official has been given out except the
statement of Chairman Wilson, that the
first draft of the customs part OF the
bill had been completed.
Mr.. Wilson said the day that con-
gress adjourned that he now wanted
to work fifteen hours day on the bill
until it was ready to be reported, and
he then hoped to make such progress
that congress would be willing to take
it up soon after reassembling. There
was an impression among many OF the
members that very little could be done
with the tariff bill, even if it was ready
to be reported to the house the first
day of the session, until after the hoti-
day adjournment, because of the sb.
sence of members and the difficulty Of
maintaining a quorum of democrats in
the house until after the holidays.

WASHINGTON, Nov. At would seem
as if there had been another blunder
by some one in. connection with the re-
cent accident to the battleship Texas
at the. Norfol6 navy yard The aeci-
dent, il ID charged, was due to care
less inspection Of the material used I'M
der her boilers. or else to niscalcnla-
ton i'm determining the strength OF the
supports necessary to hold UP the boil
ers when fillad with water. What
really caused the vessel to list over and
lead people to believe she was about
to turn' turtle was the breaking
of the supports under the boilers and
almost allowing the two boilers to go
through to the bottom. Fortunately
the accident happened alongside the
dock, and did no serious damage, but
It showed that when the Texas was
designed there had not been n proper
consideration paid to the strength ot
the plates undeT the boilers Had the
boilers broken through when the ves-
sci was in commission ind NJ sea they
might have gone through her bottom
1t will talre about $1,000 to repair tho
damage.

A PASSENGER train on the Western New
York and Pennsylvania railroad went
through a trestle near Dunldrk, n. Y, in
stantly killing three persons, and badly in
juring several others. The water of the
creek into which the train plunged put out
the fire in the engine and thus prevented
the added horror of death by burning.
