Santa Cruz and San Jose, but the fire is

CHIcl GO, Oct. 3l.--The remains of the
late Mayor Harrison were borne to the
city hall today to lie in state. Dense
crowds thronged the streets aud side
walks for blocks around the Harrison
mansion on Ashland boulevard previous
to the start. In the main it WAS not q
fashionable throng, but it was such q
one as in life he liked to move among
and speak with.
A solemn stiffness prevailed as eight
atalwart fire department captains
emerged bearing the coffin. Eight
police captains followed, sharing honors
as pail bearers.
The cortegs was long one and it's
progress to the city hall, through the
heart of the city. distance OF two
miles, consumed considerable time.
The utmost simplicity characterized
the march to the city hall. The hearee
WAS a perfectly plain black vehicle, with
no noddng plumes, and no music re-
sounded above the tread OF the feet fol-
lowing the remains. Meantime great
throng had gathered about the city hall
men, women and children. AS the
cortege approached, hats were doffed in
reverent silence. As the hearse stopped
before the entrance. the strains
OF Chopin's funeral march re-
sounded from band on the steps, and
as the casket was borne within, eobs
were heard on every side.
The caeket WAS deposited on cata-
falque in the main corridor, surrounded
by floral offerings. The doors were
opened, and seemingly endless stream
of people began moving past in two
linee. All day long they paesed rapidly,
seeming as il they would continue all
night ii permitted. They looked upon q
fece perfectly natural in the peaceiuneas
of death. The dead mayor looked as If
sleeping.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning from the Church OF the Epi-
phany on Ashland boulevard. An hour
before the service the remains will be
taken from the city hall to the church.
The funeral procession will proceed from
the church to Graceland cemetery.
The column will be large one, many
societien having applied for place in the
line. The pablo ,schools, board pf
trade, banks and other places of busi-
meas will be closed tomorrow out OF re-
spect for the dead.
Prendergsst. Harriaon's murderer, is
having a rough time in Jail. The other
prisoners seize every opportunity OF
eering at the wretch and shrek impre-
cations at him. go exercise outside his
cell is made practically impossible. To-
day the assassin seemed for the first
time to realize his position. All along
he apparently labored under the de-
lusion that his companions in crime
would look up to him. But today he
seemed to understand that he was
abhorred. even by hardened criminals,
as a cowardly assassin.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3i.-There was a de-

Unanimous Consent to Take Up the Sill
yer Repeal Bill Refused.
WASHINGTON. Oct 2l.-At the opening
OF the hssuse thls morning, Livingston
of Georgia asked unanimous consent for
the silver repeal bill to be taken up at
once. Bland and the other silver men
objected and the bill went over under
the rules till tomorrow.
The crowds which filled the galleries
were disappointed at this reeuit of the
expected exciting fight. There were
fully 250 members present when the
house was called to order.
Alter reading the journal, the joint
resolution transferring the worlds fair
model battleship to the state of Illinois
for use az an srmory by the state'a
naval militia, wac agreed to.
At the conclusion of Oates speech on
his bill to reform the naturalization
laws, Tim Campbell of New York served
notice that he was opposed to the bill.
and Goldsier of Chicago, who followed,
made scath;ng denunciation OF the
epirit which dictated the naturalization
bill.
The secretary OF the senate at this
point came in with the repeal bill as
passed by that body. It's presentation
created scarcely ripple, and the house
continued with routine business till the
morning hour expired.
Then Livingston made his motion for
unanimous consent and failed to secure
it, Bland, on behalf of himself and
othcrs. making vehement protest.
McMillin, from the committee on
ways and means, then called up the bill
to remit the duties on the ammunition
imported for the use of the navy during
the trouble between the United States
and Chile. The bill furnished the text
for a apeech by Reed. His criticism OF
Democratic economy led to very lively
tilt between the ex-speaker and Dockery
of the appropriations committee. The
bill passed.
The debate on the bankruptcy bill wcs
then resumed, Wolverton of Pennsyl.
vania spoke in support of the bill.
Cochran OF New York, from the COM
mittee on ways and means, presented a
favorable report on the bill for the aid

The Cloture to Be Invoked, and Voting

Proceedings in House
and Senate.

By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-The silver
men, or the most intense silver men in
the house, will, it is said, insist that the
repeal bill be put through by force, and
without any agreement on their part as
to the time when debate shall end or
anything else. They say they mean to
be forced into submission. The mode Of
procedure in the house tomorrow will
probably be as follows:
AS coon as the speaker lays the bill
before the house, Wilson Of West Vir-
ginia will move that the house concur
In the senate amendments. and 'pon
that he will demand the previous es-
ton. Then soine one will suggest that
time be given for debate. Wilson will
insist upon the previous question. Then
filibusterine will begin.
1t is doubtful how much strength the
silver men will have, but there is little
doubt that these men will have sufficient
strength to call for the yeas and nays,
and that will force the commi ttee on
rules to report a cloture resolution.
This will be done if filibustering begins.
The repeaers have been worri ed
about quorum, and today could count
but l65 members who voted against all
the amendments when the bill was
pending in the house before; and II all
the other members, about 130, who
supported silver in some form, should
refuse to vote on the various motions, it
would leave tue house without quo
rum. But it is understood they will not
do this.
Bland will be given an opportunity to
move the commitment OF the bill to his
committee on coinage, weights and
measures, as euch motion is privileged
under the rules. 1t will, of xourse, be
voted down. 1t is probable the rules
committee will fix the time for voting on
the bill at come time tomorrow evening,
perhaps about O'Clock.

LONDON, Oct. 3l.--The Brazilian min
lister in this city, in an interview regard
ing the alleged secret treaty between the
United States and Brazil, is quoted as
saying: II received adspatch from my
government yesterday making a state
ment similar to the one cabled to the

such treaty is in general
conception, but as yet does not exist,
you can depend upon it there is a good

stated that be received telegram from
his government stating that a secret
treaty had been made between Brazil
and the United States, is not received
with credence by the secretary OF state
aud the Brazilian minister here. Men

"There can certainly be no truth in the

MADRID, Oct. 81. - The steamship
Africa from Melils, arrived at Malaga
today and brought the information that
General Ortega succeeded in relieving
the, garrison OF Rostro Gordo and
Caberizas. The Moors continue to make
desultory attacks upon the Spanish for
tificatione, in spite Of the fire OF the
forts, which is continuously directed
upon them. 1t is thought the Moors
will make another attack upon the
Spanish forces before reinforcing troops
arrive there, as it was noticed when
the Africa sailed that detachmentb of
Moors were arriving to reinforce the
already immense horde OF native troops
surrounding the Spaniards. The SOL
dieis at Fort Camalos are in the worst
position, being most exposed to the
Arab attack. II is no longer denied
that the Arabs and Moors around
Melila are now besieging the Span
iards, and the latter have all they can
do TO hold their own. Every day which
elapees without the arrival OF reinforce
ments increases the gravity Of the stu
alton and will force Spain to send more
men to the front il she desires 10 drive
those lighting tribesmen from tine hills.
Later.-A special dispatch just re-
ceived here from Melilla has cagsed
quite commotion. The exact facts in
connection with the dispatch are not
made public, but enough ia known to
warrant the assertion that the military
officers are discussing the great differ
ence existing between the reports OF the
number killed and wounded in the last
battle before Melilla, as given out from
official sources and those just received.
The latter aeeert that at least 100 Span
iards were killed and that more than
800 were wounded and that over 100
we're captured, while others are re-
ported missing. The fate OF the
wounded, captured and missing is said
TO be too terrible to contemplate, in view
OF the shocking manner in which
number of wounded are already known
to have been mutilated.
The fact that Prince Ferdinand Bour-
bon is missing since the Spanish attack
on the Moors last Friday, has caused
Inianta Iaabella much anxiety. The
prince was lsst eeen- close to bis battery
outside OF Fort Cabrerizas. and IL is sup
posed he succeeded in reaching one OF
the blockaded forts which have just
been relieved. The minister of war has
ordered inquiries to be made in regard
to the prince.

BERLIN, Oct. 3l.-There is no disguis-

exists in Europe at present; and this
uneasiness 10 increasing as the nature OF
the Franco Russian alliance becomes
known. The Hamburger Nachrichten,
in an article which the best informed
people assert was at least instigated by
Bismarck, accounts for the Russian reply
to the French advances on the ground
that Russia would be driven into the
arms OF France by growing suspicious of
Germany's intimacy with England. 1t
saya:
1.-The Drerbund in no way threatens
Russia, but as soon as Rursia became
suspicious that it would be exercised in
defense OF Eugland's ant Russian inter-
ests, Russia's resentment was immedi-
ately aroused"
The Nachrichten also makes the aeser-
tion that secret treaty exists between
Russia and Italy. by which the former
agrees to mediate in Italv's favor in
Paris, under certain contingencies.
