that the programme for night sessions
had not yet been perfected. There was
more talk OF compromise about the
Senate to-day than has been heard
for a week, but it did not take
any definite form. A prominent Re-
publican Senator who has not so far
taken any part in the present debate,
was engaged during the day trying to
get Senators on both sides OF the ques-
tiou to agree to a proposition for the
purchase and coinage of S3,00O,O0O OF
silver per month for the next three
years, but met with many obstacles.
The especial supporters OF the Presl-
dent asserted that he would accept
no amendment whatever, and the silver
Senators made the objection that TO
place the limit OF purchase at time
within Mr.. Cleveland's administration
would be TO simply postpone the blow,
and that it might almost as well fall
now.
Senator Faulkner was also engaged
I'm canVassing his proposition, but with
no better result than in the case OF the
Republican Senator.
Nothing was accomplished in any d.
Iection, but the events OF yesterday
and to-day have caused many more
Senators than usual TO assert to-day
that a compromise offered the only way
out OF the present entanglement.

TAMMANY BEATS LAAPLIGHTER.
A Great Race at Guttenburg Yesterday.
Mile and a Quarter I'm 2:o6 1-2.

A Great Race at Guttenburg Yesterday.
Mile and Quarter in @:o6 1-2.
GUTrENBURG RACE TRACK, n. j.,
September 2s.-Thls was a sad day for
the Guttenburgers. AS matter OF
public interest to-day's race was great
one. The owners OF Tammany and
Lamplighter cared nothing for the
IS. 900 put up by the HUDSON
County Jockey Club or their
side bet of 50. 500. Neither did
the public. Had the match
been for fun, the interest would have
been just as great and each OF the great
colts cheered just as enthusiastically.
1t was the intention OF their respective
owners to place Lamplighter and Tam
many at the head OF the breeding
establishment, so 1t will be easily seen
that extra trouble was taken to win.
The horses were unQualifiedly in the
best possible form. The elements were
all with the races and the track was as
fast as any in America. At the start
Lamplighter went to the front and
stayed there a long time. Passing the
first quarter Lamplighter was about
length and half ahead, but
Garrison was not worrying bit. The
"Snapper" just held onto his place In
the procession and let the other fellow
do the bothering. Taral looked conn
dent enough, but the onlookers
could now see that Lampllghter
was not moving so smoothly as
Tammany. In the stretch Tammany
was head and head with his rival.
Taral then began to ride. He drew his
whip and used It, he also used
his spur, but It was no use.
Garrison apparently came to the
conclusion that TaraPs sudden
display of energy might bring trouble,
ana he cut Tammany In ruthless way.
Tammany's wonderful easy stride had
made Lamplighter's followers give up
the race after three fourths Of
il had been run. Lampllghter,
on the contrary, seemed awkward
in his movements. lie was
covering ground fast enough, but he
did not have the style of Marcns DAley's
colt. and it was pain that the copper
kings entry could run over the
Guttenburg horse any time he
wanted. to. Any how, one quarter
way into the stretch Tammany was two
lengths ahead. He not only maintained
his lead, but increased it to three be-
fore the wire was passed and Garrison
never used whip on him.
Taral was whipping and spur
ring all the way. After the race
Garrison was surrounded by q mob and
he was put in floral horseshoe to be
carried to the Jockeys room. On the
way, the men who supported the win
ming Jockey lost their heads or their
strength, and dumped the snapper onto
the track. There w>se some cheers for
Taral, but they were weak.
The fractional time of the race was
a. follows: Eighth, 1214 seconds; quar-
tar, 2415; three-eighths, 81; half, 49]9;
five-eighths, 1902; three-quarters, 1:l4$l;
seven -eighths, 1'272l; mile, 1:4O34; mile

IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.

The Anarchist Plot Nipped in the Bud
by the Austrian Police Was Far Reach
ing.
VIENNA, September 2s.-In spite OF
the efforts made by irresponsible news
agencies 10 belittle the exclusive story
of the arrest 10 this city on September
% of number Of anarchists In house
on Siedenbunner strasse cabled TO the
Associated Press, the fact remains that
the police of this city did, upon that
occasion, discover the greatest conSplr-
acy since the time OF Coy
Fawkes in England. On Septem-
ber 25, the police, when they
found In the house in Siedenbrunner
strasse in this city cases OF revolVers
and bombs ready for loading, explosives
at hand with which TO load the bombs
and coats with leather Innings 10 which
which hooks for suspending bombs were
attached, also discovered In the walls
and furniture, where the coats were
also found, documents OF q most i'm
portant nature.
The full particulars OF the plot tt en-
discovered were not made public at the
time. The police made the arrest on
Siedenbrunner strasse, but the Associ-
ated Press said at the time that it was
believed that a widespread conspiracy
against the city Of Vienna had been
nipped in the bud.
This, it is admitted by the Austrian
police to-day, was correct in every par
ticular, and they say that the investi-
CATION made since September % shows
that the Anarchists intended to snug
gle a quantity OF dynamite into the
underground portion OF the Reichsrath
and when that body met on October 1O
10 blow the Reichsrath SKY high
and strike terror into the hearts OF
the enemies of the Independent group
of socialists, To which the anarchists
arrested on September % here belonged.
The Reichsrath of the western part of
the monarchy consists Of the upper aud
lower house, and some six hundred
people would have been hurled
into eternity in a second on Octo-
Der 10, had the police not raided
the house on SiedenbrunDer strasse
on September %, as exclusively cabled
TO tho Associated Press. But the
Reichsrath was not the only building
the anarchists Intended to blow up on
October 10. They had their plans also
fully prepared to blow up the town ball.
In this building over thousand people
would have been destroyed on October 10
had the police not unearthed the anar-
chlst plot on September %. Even this
was not the full extent Of the terrible
conspiracy discovered. A number Of
other important buildings on the Ring
strasse. one of these finest streets
in Europe, were doomed TO destruction
with everybody in them on the day
aopoiuted for the anarchist outbreak;
the University, another building, was
also TO be underlaid with dynamite, as
was the famous historical museum OF
Vienna and other fine buildings Of
similar nature; the Hofburg Theatre,
opposite tae Rathhaus. was also marked
for dyuamiting.
Now comes. so far as the United
States is concerned, the strangest part
OF the whole conspiracy. The AssOei-
sted Press has already announced that
the bombs OF the Vienna Anarchists
were manufactured according to the
formula pre- pared by Herr Most, OF New
YORK. This is not ali; the police Of this

ise suit, some OF the Republicans
laughed, but the laughter was drowned
by a storm of Democratic Kisses.
"Such a remark, replied Mr. Breck-
inridge bitterly, ''only shows that the
gentleman has no sense ofthe proprlety

MIR. BreckInrdge's speech was devot-
ed largely 70 the constitutional phase
Of the question. The Democrats clus-
tered around the speaker and listened
10 the glowing periods of the Kentucky
orator, frequently interrupting him
with applause. These laws, he argued,
marked an era. Their repeal would
mark the beginning Of another aud a
better era. Il do not care to reply to
the attacks Of the Republicans against
the Democratic party" said he. You
can't indict a whole people. You no
longer indict the South when you
attack Democracy, for the time has
come when a majority OF the representa-
tives from the North are Democrats"
AT the conclusion OF Mr. Breckin-
ridges speech the House adjourned.

Train Near PittsDurg- Officials Deny 1t.
PITTsBURG, PA, September 2S.-A
Chronicle Telegraph COnnellsville, Pa,
special says: 1t was reported here this
morning that an attempt was frustrated
last night to hold up the midnight ex-
press on the B. 81 o. railroad, shortly
after the train left McKeespOrt. The
rumor is denied by the officials OF the
company here, but there was consider
able excitement on the train when II ar
rived about half an hour late.
One passenger said that soon after
the train pulled out of McKeesport and
had attained a pretty fair speed, u was
suddenly stopped. The trainmen all
rushed to the front aud kept the pas
sengers back in the cars. 1t is sup
posed that some Of the band of would-be
robbers failed to carry out their part IN
the work, and those who stopped the
train then made good their escape.
The train last night was heavy one
and filed mostly with passengers re-
turning from Chicago. In the express
cars there was S62, 900 10 cash.
II was rumored here at noon that the
railroad officials got word OF the pro-
posed robbery and sent out dozen
officers heavily armed on freight train
ahead of the express. a gang OF strange
men were at Eilrods all evening, but
after the arrival Of the officers they
suddenly disappeared.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September Is
Police Officer Heller had violent
struggle to-day with an insane man
who, in some mysterious manner got
into the White House and was looking
for President Cleveland. The appear
ance Of the officer probably saved the
President from an assault. How the
fellow got inside the building no one
knows. He was not seen to enter the
front or rear door. He appeared 10 the
hall on the lower floor as suddenly as
though he had come through the cell
ing and colored cook, whom he met'
he questioned.

"Who is your father?" the cook asked
him.
"Mr. Cleveland, of course" was his
response.
just then Policeman Heller appeared
upon the scene and be asked what was
wanted. He saw at d glance that the
man was not altogether right. -,
Your father is out in the garden"
he told the mysterious visitor, come
with me and we'll find him.
Arm In arm they started towards the
door, the intruder thinking he was GO
ing TO meet the President, but the ottl-
Ger knew that he would land him at the
watch box. In q few minutes they ap-
peared in the little watch box where
Policeman Hible was on duty.
Before Hble knew what was going on
the prisoner grabbed his (Hibe's) black
jack from his pocket, evidently think
ing he was getting pistol. lie tried
to use the blackjack on the officers, but
they grabbed him and The struggle
lasted but few minutes before the
man was overpowered. At the station
the crank gave the name OF Joseph
Washington, but refused to tell where
he lived. No one at the station remem-
bered having seen him before. When
asked what he wanted at the White
House he replied; II wanted that
chair"
What chair?"
"The Presidents chair"
Don't you think the President fills 1t
satisfactorily"
"No, don't" was the reply, "and l
intend to get it by fair means or foul.
Give me a pistol and l will show who
will get it d quick"
He will be held for examination.
