FORCED TO GIVE UP.
End of the Fight for the Unconditional
Repeal of the Sherman Law.

WASHINGTON. ID. g., Oct. 13.-The SEN
Senator Voorhees,, and the fight for I'M
conditional repeal is over. After failing
to get quorum Senator Voorhees, said
he conceived he had done his duty and
therefore, moved adjournment, which
as promptly carried. This is victory
or the silver men and confession that
physical endurance was q failure.
The senators are agreed that the end
ing of the continuous session after
more than forty hours and forty roll
calls ends the administration policy.
1t is the forerunner Of a crushing
personal defeat for Mr.. Cleveland.
The Democratic leaders are con-
tident that they can get their compro-
mise through the Senate and House
and take a recess in accordance with
the plan outlined two weeks ago. But
whether they can or not the admins
tration plan of an adjournment without
any legislation will not be allowed to
prevail Senators Cullom and Palmer
were among those who stuck out to the
end of the fight.
Voorhees, made the best fight posi-
bic under the circumstances, but there
never was any chance of success. The
Democratic cOmprOmisers say when
their proposition is formulated Voor-
hees will be given the privilege of offer
ing it and thus getting credit for what
ever final financial! legislation does pass
Voorhees, intimates he will not accept
the profer, but will 90 down with the
flag Of unconditional repeal flying.
Whatever others may do he will not OPP
pose the passage of any legislation.
That will be left to Mills, Villas and 9th
er extreme followers of Mr.. Cleve-
lands failing fortunes.
The hope that the administration can
rally its forces in the House is not like
ly to be fulfilled as Speaker Crisp's in
fluence will be directed towards accept
ing whatever comes over from the SEN
ate. 1t will take some days, however,
for the situation to crystalline. The
senators are tremendously relieved that
the long strain has ended. No more
continuous night sessions will be at
tempted.
Senator Voorhees,, in response to a
question as to whether he would again,
about 6 o'clock this evening, ask the
Senate to continue the session during
the night and keep it up until vote
could be reached, said he could not tell
whether he would be able to hold a
quoEum, but that he would not break it
himself and would remain as long as he
could keep forty three Senators in the
Senate chamber.
The movement on foot in opposition
to Mr.. Voorhees, intention to ask for
night sessions, to procure an adjourn
ment at $50 P. NJ. this evening until
next Monday was preached.

HURRICANE IN WASHINGTON.

National Capital Visited by Destruct-
i've Wind Storm.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IA storm
of the hurricane variety passed over
this city last night, doing great damage.
Telegraphic communication to points
outside of Washington was rendered
impossible for long time on account
of the violent wind and rain, and
few small buildings were blown down.
1t rained steadily all day yesterday.
Toward night the wind began to blow
hard. 1t increased in velocity and the
rain increased in volume until it was
next to impossible for pedestrians to
face it. Lights were torn down, signs
blown down, and in some instances
houses unroofed. About 2 O'Clock
the rain ceased but the wind
continued to blow with increas-
ing force and it was hot and
su1try. Telegraph wires were wrecked
in every direction. After persistent
effort the Western Union got a wire by
way of Memphis, over which the AS
ISOLATED Press was enabled to send a re-
port. At daylight this morning the
storm abated and before s o'clock the
sky was clear The Western Union has
a large force of linemen at work and
hope to restore communication rapidly.

THE AMERICAN YACHT WINS.
The Vigilant Defeats the Valkyrie and
Wins the Cup.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-For the third
time the VigiIant has passed the Val
kyrie and the American cup will stay
in this country for another year. With
plenty Of wind, with splendid sea and
an almost ideal day for yachting, the
beautiful white boat passed the
line, and amid the blowing of
whistles and the cheering of men,
while women waved their handker-
chiefs, the flagship May hoisted the
coIors of the Vigilant. The wind at the
start was squally, and it was feared the
yachts would not have all they wanted,
but after short time in blew steadily.
The yachts after the start made a short
board on the starboard tack, but chang
ing soon, took long un to port. APP
parently their positions did not change.
The Valkyrie kept her lead, and, if any
the stake at 2:3344 and the Vigilant fol-
lowed at 2:35. Apparently the lead
of j. minutes at the first had
not been changed. As she swept
by the waiting steamers the Valkyrie
at 2:36 set her silk Spinnaker. The eff
feet was apparent. Immediately the
NalkYrie drew away from her rival, but
the sheets Of the Vigilant went home,
and she too leaped forward. Then the
Nalkyrie doused her jib and fore stay
sail, and set balloon staysail in place
The Vigilant hauled her balloon jib
slowly up to the topmasthead and set it.
She seemed to fairly jump in the water.
From that time on it was foregone
conclusion that the Nalkyrie would be
beaten again.
The estimated three-quarters of mile
between the boats fell rapidly, and at
2:30 the end of the bOWsprit OF the Wig
liant was in line with the Valkyrie's
stern. At $3.50 it had reached her bow
spirit head, and at 1872 a line Of open
water appeared between the two, this
time with the Vigilant in the lead.
How the whistles screamed and the
people applauded. Suddenly at 3:34
the men on the VaIkyrie were seen
running to and fro and then a glance
showed the silk spinnaker had been
split in two Tapping ribbons. Down it
came by the run and in few seconds
new one was in place and being hauled
up, and she started home. The work of
the crew was quick. Short as it was,
however, it is feared it lost the Valkyrie
the race, for the two boats were very
close. Meanwhile the Vigilant was driv-
ing ahead everything pulling and the
distance between herself and her rival
gradually widening. A flash from the
flagship May, as the Vigilant passed the
line, between herself and the lightship,
was echoed and prolonged by all
the whistles in the fleet. The cheering
filled the air
1t was magnificent race, the finest
seen IN years. 1t is impossible to say
with this record which is the better
boat in such wind as that of to-day.
Forty seconds on beat to windward of
fifteen miles and return is so close that
the splitting OF the Valkyrie's spin
maker might easily account for it.

BALTIMORE IN DARKNESS.

Electric Light Plant and County Jail
Burned-Panic in a Theater.
BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 14.-While the
wind was blowing a gale last night the
Brush electric light works took fire and
were burned. AS these supply the city
and nearly ali the stores and other
buildings in the city with light, the city
for time was plunged into partial dark
ness. At the Holiday Street Theater a
panic was only averted by the pres
ence of mind Of the attaches.
In the middle of the play the
lights went out and it was some time
before the gas could be utilized. Sparks
from the Brush Electric Light Works
set fire to the city jail. The prisoners
were hurriedly collected and marched
into the yard. Quite number, how
ever, were overcome by smoke and
dragged out. The Jail was completely
destroyed. A Gordon of police was
formed about while doctors were work
ing on the prisoners. SeTenty-five Of
them were taken to the city hospital.
None of them are believed to be fatally
iniured

MANY HORSES BURNED.
Six Hundred Incinerated in q Chicag
Eire-EeaVy Loss.

EIfe-tGedVy LOSS.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct 13.-Frenzied with
fright and driven into a stampede by
raging fire that broke out last night in
the Wallace Street barns Of the Chica-
90 City Railway, nearly 800 horses were
burned to death The barns were
entirely destroyed, and the total loss en-
tailed on the company will reach high
figure. The building was a tWo-stOry
brick affair, which extended 400 feet on
Wallace Street and 80 feet on Thirty
ninth Street. The number of hostlers
in the building was not large and though
they did their best and were aided by
men from the rapidly gathering crowd
they were able to rescue but few Of
the poor brutes.
There were also 200 tons of hay and
500 bushels of mixed grain in the barn
Soon after the fire started the flooring
fell, and with it the heavy cars and tons
of grain and hay About seventeen
horses were killed outright, it is be-
ieyed by being crushed beneath the
mass.
The total loss to the company is es-
timated at $4,000, of which amount
$4,000 was on the horses. All losses
are amply covered by insurance. The
failure to rescue more of the horses is
attributed by the barn foreman to the
rapid spread Of the flames and to the
small number of men he had-there
being but six hostlers in the place. By
the time crowd had assembled the
building was SO wrapped in flames that
nothing could be done to save the
horses.

Their Opponents.

t-R6p6aI Members Lay Clever Trap TOR
Their Opponents.
WASHINGTON, ID. g., Oct. 14.-The sill
yer senators declare to-day that they
have the Senate tied up in such a knot
that the silver question can be STAYED
off for any indefinite time. The
try was cleverlv aid, and it
was Senator Villas who put
his foot it. The tangle, which resulted
in an adjournment last night. is the out
come of cleverly laid plot originated
by Senator Dubois and executed through
the help of Senator Teller. The silver
men knew that on roll call where parts
would have to be recognized that the re-
peal members would not be able to
obtain a quorum, though on call
of the Senate, IN which pairs can be
violoted, a quorum was present. The
difficulty then came TO obtain a rAll
call Senator Teller examined the rules
and discovered what proved to be a
successful manner of bringing about
the desired end. 1t is rule
of the Senate that except by
unanimous consent a public document
cannot be read in that body II 1t has
been previously read. Mr.. Teller, dur
ing a call for a quorum. explained his
VIEWS 10 MI. IICuGIy VIC NttS Sl'CdhlHS,
and a few moments later Mr.. Pfefer,
from the mass of manuscriwt that he
had on his desk, resurrected a
public document and began to
read it with great delibegation.
immediately Mr.. Teller was on his feet
and objected to the reading. He
raised a point of order against the read
ing and after some debate the
chairman gave his decision, from which
an appeal was taken and roll call
ordered. This is what the silver men
were looking for and on the roll call it
was found that no quorum was
present 1t was then that the re-
peal men stepped into another
trap. Mr.. Villas tried to force Mr..
Dubois to vote, and long debate en-
sued An effort was made to take
vote that the Senate should not excuse
Mr.. Dubois from voting, aud on this
roll call another lack of quorum was
developed, and the Senate was forced
to adjourn The pending question now
becomes the effort to have Mr.. Du-
bois vote and it is the intention
of Mr.. Villas to have Mr.. Dubois
censured This, it is stated, will bring
out a nice constitutional question which
will develop debote which the silver
men claim will last month at least, and
thus the time of the Senate will be given
to another question and the time of the
Senate will be thus occupied.

RUN DOWN BY A YACHT.

John Jacob A6tOr'S NOrmaha Cuts Into a
Pennsylvania Railway Ferry Boat.
NEW YORK, Oct. u.-Fresh from the
dry dock after her collision with the,
West Shore wharf near Poughkeepsie,
John Jacob Astor's steam yacht Nour-
mahal ran into crowded ferry boat Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad on her way
to the CORTLAND Street landing this
morning, and made big hole in the bow
OF the ferry boat. Mr.. Aston and a
large party Of guests, prominent socie-
ty people of this city and elsewhere,
lined the decks Of the yacht and
crowded her cabins. Women screamed
and were swept off their feet by the
wild rush of frightened passengers.
The boats were in mid-stream. It IS
said by eye witnesses Of the accident
that the signals given by the ferrvboat
Washington were not answered by the
Nourlnahal which was running at full
speed and kept on her course without
swerving. There was no time to put on
life preseryerS before the crash. Be-
fore half Che passengers had fled from
the bow the sharp nose OF the NOurma-
hal came crashing into the portrait Of
Washington forty or fifty 1eet from the
stem. 1t cut into the ferrvboat fully
six or seven feet and there it stuck
Meantime the engines of the Jerry
boat had been stopped and those on the
Nourmahal were reversed at full speed.
Slowly the shapely bow Of the yacht
crept out of the rent in the 1erryboat.
The NOurmahal continued to back out Of
danger, while after drifting with the
tide for an instant the engines of the
terrybOat were sent ahead at full speed,
any the boats were safe.
On board the NOurmahal the excite
ment seemed to be uncomfortable. The
frightened women ran hither and
thither on the deck, while the men
strove to pacify them and to assure
them that there was no danger. Men
were Immediately sent below on the
ferry boat to see if the hull had been
injured below the water line. Officers
of the boat ran to the frightened pas
sengers and assured them that all dan
ger was over, and that there was nc
possible chance Of sinking.
So far as could be judged Of the Nour-
mahal she was uninjured except that
her bowsprit was snapped short off and
her nose twisted slightly. A hasty ex-
animation was made by her officers and
then she steamed on her way to the
yacht race.

crowded gates and crowded cars there
was plenty of room at all the gates and
the cars were far from being crowded.
The cold morning knocked the en-

there was plenty of room at the turn
stiles, Everybody at the fair seemed to
feel the effect of bad weather. The at

Saturday has always been big day
there was no more enthusiasm mani
tested this morning than if this was d
