COLLISION IN MIDSTREAM..
an Aristocrauc Yacht Bumps a PIebian
Ferry Boat.

New York, Oct. ia sensational
collision occurred in midstream in the
North river this morning. John Jacob
Astor's steam yacht, Nourmahal, was
going at full speed down the river
loaded with prominent society people
bound for the yacht race, and ran un-
checked into the side of a heavily
loaded Pennsylvania Railroad ferry
boat, cutting into the side some six
feet. The utmost CONSERVATION and
panic prevailed on both vessels. Wo-
men ran screaming up and down the
decks, and many tainted. The engines
of the yacht were reversed and she
backed away. A hasty examination
of the ferry boat showed, owing to the
projecting deck and cabin of the boat,
the hull was not cut below the water
line, and there was no danger of sink
ing. The engines were started up
again and the boat proceeded to the
dock. The NourmahaI sustained no
injury beyond having her bowsprit
broken and nose twisted. She proceed
ed on her way. The blame for the col
lision seems to have been with the
NOurmahal

SILVER MIN HAVE
THE ADVANTAGE.
They Can Sleep While the Re
pealers Sit Up.
THE BIG TEST IS NOW ON.
The Whole Country Awaits the Result
With Interest.
Some Sharp Interchanges in the Upper
House that Served to Liven Up the


Washington, Oct 1.-THE usual
methods by which controversies over
legislation are settled have failed to
carry and the world is now watching
the decision of the great financial ques-
ton in a test of physical endurance.
This peculiar condition is a necessity
under the rules by which the Senate
operates.
All day long there were evidences
of a preparation for the fight. There
were but a few Senators in the cham
Der, but a glance into the committee
rooms and peep into the cloak rooms
showed many of them sleeping, hus-
banding their strength for the siege.
The forces on both sides are divided,
so as to be able to give each other re-
lief by taking up the defense of their
position in turn. Employees of the
Senate are likewise separated into re-
lays in anticipation of continuous
work.
The address of every Senator is
carefully revised up to date and the
sergeant-at-arms has compiled a mass
of interesting information as to the
usual haunts of the Senators in order
that those who drift away may be
tracked to their lairs
In the committee rooms, couches and
blankets are prepared, and everything
possible to make comfortable the sit
uation in which the Senators have
have found themselves, has been done.
AS the hour of o'clock approached
at which it was known the signal guns
for the beginning of the contest would
be sounded, the gradual filling up of
the seats on the floor and in the gal
leries made it evident the fight was to
go on and the public would watch it
through. Many members of the House
were present The galleries did not con-
tain an unoccupied seat and in the
doorways was a mass of humanity
clamoring for admission.
The silver men had considerable adj
vantage over their opponents and they
are free to admit pleasure over their
condition. While they can rest in the
committee rooms and Hobbies, leaving
only one guard, one speaker and Du-
bois to see that a quorum is present,
it is obligatory on the part of the
friends of repeal to remain continu-
ously in their seats in order to main
tain a quorum.

EFFORT TO SECURE An AGREEMENT.
But the Leaders Were in No Mood for 1t
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Washington, Oct. 11.-Some of the
members of the Senate who believe
that compromise is better than the
passage or abandonment of the repeal
bill, have been engaged this morning
in an effort to secure an agreement.
The effort, however, was only tenta-
tive and so far has failed of results.
One of the senators engaged in the at
tempt, said today the leaders were not
in a mood for an agreement at this
time and the only way to bring about
an understanding is, to begin night
work and let the country see the i'm
possibility of accomplishing a repeal
by that means. He thinks it will come
when the repeal leaders discover. as
in his opinion they soon will. the i'm
possibility of holding quorum.
The leaders of the various PROPOSE
tons expect no final result until it be-
comes evident that a quorum cannot
be kept in the Senate. After that a
compromise is expected, for but few
really believe vote on repeal can be
reached.
The silver men are prepared for a
continuous session of forty eight
hours.
Cockrell will speak all day. Tonight
Teller and others will fill in the time.
Stewart and Jones, of Nevada, will
rest tonight, but prepared to OCCUPY
tomorrow if necessary.

Baker-I believe in revising our trea-

Geary championships people
seem to believe we haven't got our
growth yet; that, before legislating. we
must consult the wishes of foreign
countries. (Applause)
Baker-We are not too old to be hon

Proceeding, Geary insisted that pho
tographs afforded the only sure means
Of identification. He denied it would
require $7.000,000 to enforce the Geary
law. If officers of the administration
had done their duty in May the present
condition would not have been presen-
sion for an extension.
In reply to a question by McCreary
as to whether the $25,00O appropriated
would have been sufficient, Geary de-
clared the Chinese would take no risk
of being sent back to China. Rather
than do that, they would voluntarily
have left our borders. The $25, 600, by
demonstrating cur intent to enforce
the law, would have been as effective
as 5000 900. { Applause.) He de-
nounced the administration for VIOLA
ton Of the party faith and the party
platform, and although he loved his
party it was his duty to condemn Dem
ocratic officers who betrayed their
trust. If they violated the law they
must go down. He had no fault to
find with the treasury department,
but the action of the attorney general
in defying the law could not be de-
Tended. 1t had made it the duty OF
Democrats to denounce and condemn
him. He called attention to the state
ment in a morning paper to the effect
that the Chinese minister had accepted
the McCreary bill as satisfactory
What a spectacle we present, y
said he. Gould we not modify

tariffs for instance without the con-
sent of foreign Minister'S He init
mated the Chinese minister had q
hand in the preparation of the Everett
bill, of which the McCreary bill was q
modification. Geary then proposed
amendments which he said would
perfect the bill, namely, the photo
graphing clause, and the definition OF
the term Chinese laborer." Geary
closed with an eloquent plea to the
Democratic party to do the Pacific
coast justice |'Over 50 per cent. OF
the Chinese" said he, live west OF

this morning c. P. Ferrel, horse
sheer, was awakened by the pres
ence of man in his room, and as he

fastened onto his coat tails and was

eral bruises on the head. The robber
escaped with SIG, which he secured

awakened AS the robber did not
speak and there was no light, there is
no clue to his identity.

were adopted regretting the growing
sentiment throughout the entire coun-

of the country hold the majority in the
Senate responsible for the unwarranta-
BILE delay in passing the repeal bill.
