A Monster Meeting in Cincinnati Ad.
dressed by Mr.. Reed.
SOME OBJECT LESSOES OF THE
CLEVELAND REGIME.

The Country's Present Condition and thai
Mans Dinner Pail No So Important as
the Question of Filling 1.-THE Repeal
of the Election Laws and the Duty of
of Republicans.
Cincinnati, October 12.-Ex-Speaker
Reed addressed large Republican audi
ence here last night. Fully 10000 men
assembled in the hall. Thousands OF
ladies were also present.
Mr.. Reed was in his best vein, and his
blows hit squaluly bstween the eyes.
He ridiculed the present Congress with
keen irony. The Senate came in for
his hardest blows. he referred to the
Democratic majority as saying to the
country: "If you fellows tire us out we
will give in.'' IF this is country
whore the majority rules, why doesn't
this Democratic object lesson of Grover
Cleveland rule and be done with it?''
asked the speaker. If the majority is
in the right, then let the majority carry
out The right
Mr.. Read asked why the Democratic
Congress had notwiped out the s'infa-
nous tariff" as it promised to do in its
Chicago platform, adding, 1T IL another
object lesson" This was greeted with
the widest cheers.
The present wretched financial condi-
ton of the country was contrasted with
that of year ago. 1--WE hear nothing
now about tin," said the Maine man.
"The workingman is not bothered about
its cost. What he wants is something:to to
put in it and some place to carry it to
work.
The Tucker bill Mr.. Reed denounced.
He declared the Republican party had
always been for free ballot, and a fair
count, and its mission would not be
completed until every citizen, no matter
what his color or previous condition,
could cast his vote as he. wished, and
have it counted
This sentiment was received with the
utmost enthusiasm. The walls rang
with cheers. Women waved their
lhandkerchiefs until the air seemed a
futter of white wings. In all respects
the meeting was one of the greatest ever
held in this state, and promises tre-
mendous victory for Mckinley.

New York, October 1.-THE Vigilant
and Valkyrie are lying off Bay Ridge,
getting in readiness for tomorrow's
race. An extra ton of lead ballast has
been placed on the Valkyrie's hull amid
ships to make the cutter set lower in the
water and thereby lengthen her load

lieves has, hitherto been short. Capt.
Cranfield admits that he has little chance
of beating the Yankee sloop. He con-

tions of weather The Valkyrie has
been remeasured and her time allowance
is 13 seconds less. If all signs don't
fail, the Vigilant and Valkyrie will have

THANKSGIVING AT THE FAIR.
You May Be Able to Spend 1t. There If
the Weather Is Fine.

Worlds Fair Grounds, Chicago, Octo-
Der 1.-THE special committee recently
appointed to consider the question of
keeping the fair open after this month,
has practically decided in favor of doing
so as long as the weather will permit
auk as long as people como in sufficient
numbers to make it profitable. The
plan is to continue charging the present
admission fees and induce as many for
eign and American exhibitors to keep
their displays intact as possible. Many
foreign exhibitors have already agreed
to do so, but everyone who has an exhibit
will be given permit for its removal
from the fair upon application.

SENATE TIRED OUT.
Voorhees, Forced to Surrender and
Move an Adjournment.
THE REPEALERS COULDN'T HOLD
THEIR QUORUM.

They Gave 1t Up at Two This Morning
Silver Men Were Then Still at 1t with
Oratory and Roll-ca1ls-Senator Frye
Showed How the Rules, Being Made
Failed to Prevent Filibustering-Some
Curious Scenes.
Washington, October 13.--Mr. Voor-
hees gave up the fight in the Senate at
an early hour this morning and moved
to adjourn, thus breaking the session
which it was announced would last until
the silver men were tired out. The sill
yer men seemed to be still vigorous.
At 1910, Mr.. Wolcott suggested the
absence of quorum. 1t was announced
that Senators Vance and Turpie had
gone home sick. The roll-call showed
Al Senators present, and the sergeant-at-
arms was sent after the absentees. While
waiting for him ito make his return, the
Senate rapidly thinned. Nearly all the
Republican Senators took their depart
ure. When nearly an hour had elapsed
without an additional senator reporting,
Mr.. Wolcott informed Mr.. Faulkner, who
was in the chair, that the silver men
would give him quorum if he would
consent to an adjournment with a quo
rum present. This proposition Mr..
Faulkner declined. Shortly after, the
silence was broken by Mr.. Gallinger, who
asked Mr.. Voorhees, whether he expected
the Senate remain in session much longer
without much needed rest. Mr.. Voorhees,
said he believed quorum would ulti-
mately reach the chamber. At LOS a
quorum appeared and Mr.. Stewart con-
tinued his speech. He spoke but fifteen
minutes when Mr.. Wolcott once more
suggested the absence of quorum.
Thirty-six Senators answered to their
names. At 1. 40 the sergeant-at-arms re-
ported two Senators absent from the
city, twelve excused by the Senate, four
unable to attend on account of Illness
nine in the capitol who made no answer
to the summons and thirteen who could
not be found
Mr.. Voorhees, said in view of the re-
port of the sergeant-at-arms it was evil
dent that no further business could be
transacted tonight and he therefore
moved that the Senate adjourn. There
was no opposition and the Senate at 1.45
adjourned until II a. m. today.

Down in the Midway Plaisance in Hagen
beck's menagerie, amid the sIuealing of
monkeys, bowls of Danthers and roars of
lions, there is an incessant chattering and
chipping. Loud talk, mingled with oaths Is
what it probably is, for it emanates from
cages Of parrots, but the parrots speak in
a foreign tongue, so that their swearing
is harmless. Why is it that a parrot al
ways learns to swear? Did any one ever
see one that could pray? But for swearing
and slang the parrot seems to have n nat
ural aptitude. 1t happened to the writer
for The Star to be standing watching the
Hagenbeck parrots the other day and Won
dering what they were saying and whether
they understood each other or themselves,
when there arose from outside the entrance
to the menagerie such a squealing and
bowling that 1t seemed more than probable
that the Dahomey Amaxons had eornered
all the residents Of Cairo street and were
putting them to some novel and terrible
torture. But It wasn't that. It was simply
q row among the monkeys that occupy the
cage on the left hand side opposite the
ticket ONCE. They were raising CAIN
with a vengeance. jumping from side to
side Of the cage. swinging by their tails
and uttering the most unearthly yel,s in
the meantime. What was the cause of 1t
all? Why a young man had thrown a ciga-
rette in the cage and the monkeys seemed
to take 1t as the most grievous offense to
their dignity that had ever befallen them.
There Is one monkey in Jackson Park that
deserves q description all to himself,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-08-12
In the Ostrich Farm.

The favored dogs which help to make the
sides the EsQuimaux, the big boarhounds that
perform In Hagenbeck's show, a little fox
terrier that forms part Of the perform
ance OF Tattersalfs military tournament. a
fine Irish collie that belongs In Lady Aber-
deems Irish village. You can add to these
an occasional wretched NANCY cur that
slips IN every now and then without ticket
Or photographic pass. How he passes
through the turnstiles Is always q mystery
and It Is clear that he never could jump
over the fence. He always makes his APP
pearance somewhere about the middle Of
the park. having come from no one knows
where. Then the guards begin to hunt him.
They run him from one to another, and per-
haps he Is finally destroyed and thrown
upon a dirt heap
There are few chickens in the park, and
they are to be found In the village Of
Dahomey. They belong to no particular
breed and are essentially plebeian. In point
Of fact the readers Of The Star can see the
same kind OF fowls on the vacant lots of
Washington. and a good many OF them have
red flannel tied about the leg. So have the
Dahomey chickens, and the different dusky
Amaxons have quarrels about the owner
ship OF the chickens. They ire much priced
as natural belongings to African scenery
They do not often lay eggs and they are not
eaten. but they have their uses doubtless
1t may be remarked parenthetically that the
concessionatre who is at the head of the
Dahomey village declares that he purcha sed
the chickens and that they did not appear
there without adequate explanation.

In the center Of the Java village. not far
from the big pavilion and alongside Of the
queer little waterwheel which keeps the toy
figure always turning somersaults there
Is cage where a big man ape lives In soli-
tary grandeur. He is about as large az a
fourteen-year-oid boy. but his face is that
OF a old. old man. Some men look more
like monkeys than this fellow does He is
burdened for want of occupation. AMI he
Is terribly bored by the crowd tina: gaZes
at him all day. He does not notice 1t usu-
ally. but sometimes he does and tn IN he
gives IT look Of such unmitigated con-
tempt that 1t usually feels a little ashamed
because 1t Is not Gagged up in his place He
ought to be at large and the crowd ought
to be in the cage; that is the way one some
times feels. This ape has rug in his cage
and in sheer disgust with the world and
the stupidity Of men he sometimes lies upon
his back and covers his face up with it. SO
as to hide the vulgar rabble from his gaze
When 1t Is chilly he draws the rug about
MIN and when he IL angry. as he some
times is. he tears the rug to pieces. His
arms are 50 long that they reach to his
knees, his body is covered with coarse red
dish brown hair. his hands are long and
shriveled.
