the last Packet, namely on the night of the

rain throughout the Island, registering in
some places as much IS five inches. The
heavy rains threw do wn part of a stone-wall

Dear Sir.-Having had occasion to examine
the model of your island Of st. Thomas,
at The Transportation Building, Worlds
Columbian Exposition, I take pleasure IN
adding my testimony t. that Of many others,
that it is an unqualified success. rejecting
great credit upon DR.. Taylor and his son
Clarence, as the constructors, and upon the
Committee by whose efforts the enterprise
has been conducted to so successful an
issue.
That il is thoroughly appreciated by the
American people, may be gathered from Tie
number Of persons who crowd around i daily,
and that it Will do more good in the way
Of making Your beautiful island known
to the world than anything else that has
even been done in It's behalf, is the universal
opinion
The Danish Commissioner, General Emil
Meyer. has publicly said that: Thanks 70
DR.. Taylor's energy aud enterprise, Denmark
has been enabled to count five buildings
instead Of four. Before he came, she VS.
in the Manufacturers inc Arts, Women
and the Agricultural; now she can add, through
DR.. Taylor. the Transportation Building
/ quote these words to show how much hls
efforts have been appreciated by your own
countrymen, and how fortunate it is that
your island sent him as its representative.
Trusting that you viii find space for this
testimony to DR.. Taylor's interchangeable efforts
in behalf Of your community, and that the
enterprise will result to your islands benefit,
have the honor to remain
Your obedient servant.

finely carved Celtic cross. AS III the I3Sh

cottages and the workers are genuine Celts
brought from Ireland expressly.
There is a very fine collection Of cm5rori-

spun, woven and plant-dyed by peasants
trained in the most remote districts in Coun-
ty Donegal. There are fue Irish linens,
daintily stitched and embroidered ladies' IN

ged and veined hankerchiefs, all the work OF
Irish hands. The banqueting hall OF Done

of the ODonuellS, the Princes OF T%yrconnen.

A Discussion on Amendment of the
Ruies-Siiver Debate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In the senate
today, the house joint resolution fixing
he qualifications for voting and holding
Office in the Cherokee strip was taken
up, The amendment by Hoar restrict-
ing the right to vote and hold Office to
citizens of the United States was agreed
to. The motion by PETER to strike out
the word ''male," 30 as to allow women
to vote, was rejected, 40 to 8. The af-
firmative vote was: Allison, Carey,
Dolph, Frye. Gallinger, Hoar, Kyles
PETER, Teller. !.
Faulkner moved to strike out that
part of the resolution to which Hoar'sa
amendment attached, and thus amended
the resolution passed. 1t entities all
male residents on the 2let day OF
October who have been residents 30
davs, and are over 2l years old, to vote
and hold Office at municipal elections
for the organization of city, village and
town governments.
Lodge of Massachusetts spoke in favos
of his amendment to the rules provids
ing that no senator shall read written
or printed speech, and that senators
present and not voting shall be counted
as present for the purpose Of quorum.
He said the present condition OF the
senate was an absolute travesty on

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The federal officers
secured an indictment OF the officers,
past and present, OF the Guarantee In
vestment company, which they charge
is conducting lottery business. The
headquarters are supposed to be at Ne
vada. Mo-, the company having been
Incorporated two years ago under the
laws of Missouri. The former officers
were j. q. Talbot, president and general
manager; j. M. Van Slycke, vice-presi-
dent; T. G. Hambaugh, secretary and
treasurer; G. M. Mcdonald, assistant
general manager. The present officers,
who also have been indicted
as we'll as those named above,
are: George V. Mcdonald, pres
ident and general manager; W. H.
Stevenson, vice president and treasurer;
Francis M. Swearingen, secretary; j. B.
Johnson, director; d. p. Slsttery, di-
rector. The company holds bonds in
$1,000 denominations all over the coun-
try on terms OF $40 down and S1.25 per
month until the bond natures. The
bonds are numbered and dated consecu-
lively. but in the payment OF them is
where the lottery comes in. Should the
fret bond paid, for instance, be number
121, the next one to mature would be
number sos. the company using the
multiple of five to determine the num-
ber of the next payment. The federal
authorities assert that nearly $4,000
people have invested in the scheme so
far.

The department of justice are still con-
sidering what steps to take to ensure
the protection of the governments
rights in the Union Pacific railroad. 1t
seems to be settled that the department
will select some competent and expert
enced person as counsel to represent it
in all suits and other proceedings that
will inevitably result from placing the
road in receivers hands. The inter-
eat account with the government is said
to have grown as large, if not larger
than, the principal. There is an unusual
number of fret mortgage bonds which
were issued by the railroad company
and which, it is eaid at the treasury de-
partment, have frat lien on the
property.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The Union Pacific
Railroad company has addressed letters
to all ite connections, saying under its
receivership the road will continue to
do business exactly as heretofore, and
that it desires the cooperation of other
lines as heretofore. Nothing is said in
the message about the relation the road
will sustain toward the Western Pas
senger association but the existing con-
ditions will not be disturbed for some
time at least.

to pay their respects to the new officials
and at the same time talk over some
matters of particular interest to both
sides, but the receivers were non-com-
initial as tothe future policy they would
adopt regarding the wage question, and
the men were compelled to leave the

specific understan .ang as to what would
be done in their cEses or in those of the

The Wocoken left Ashtabula Friday,

1900 tons of coal. She went first to
Erie, where she picked up the schooner
Joseph Paige. Shortly after leaving
Erie she was struck bv the full force
OF the storm and tried to make Long
Point. The sea was too much for her,
however, and she foundered not far from
the west end of the point. She would
probably have rode out the gale but for
the fact that her matches gave way
under the tremendous seas and the boat
was quickly flooded and sunk.
The schooner Joseph Paige was cast
loose soon after she started for Long
Point, and ran safely before the gale to
shelter on the west shore of the point.
She was pretty badly wrecked. The
Wocoken was valued at $4,000 and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 = There will
probably be no more night sessions in
the senate while the repeal bill is pend
ing. The silver senators clogged the
wheels effectually for about two hours
tonight, and would probably have con-
tinucd to do so bat for an understanding
brought about by the ENHANCEMENT
which was inaugurated between the
opposing forces to check filibustering,
on the promise from some of the lead
ers on the repeal side to attempt to 80
arrange matters as not to make another
effort to secure night sessions. The
agreement, while It is not perfected,
had the effect OF causing the silver men
to cease their calls for quorum, and
permitting Peffer to continue his re-
marks without y interruption from the
call bell. When the arrangements are
completed there will be DO more night
eeHsions.
The word sent along the line of the
silver forces at o'clock tonight was to
filibuster and require an absolute quo
rum at all times. The purpose in fili-
clustering was to show the futility OF the
attempt to further force unusual hours
A visit was made to secretary Carlisle
by Senator Voorhees, this morning. The
two gentlemen exchanged views upon
the situation and Carlisle urged Voor-
hees to hold firm and keep his forces in
line. 1t was Immediately after this
visit that Voorhees, repaired to the cap
itol and announced his intention OF ask
ing the senate to cit until 10 O'Clock at
night.
The appearance would justify the
statement that the administration has
taken another occasion to announce and
emphaeize itH opposition to any devla-
tion from the course originally mapped
out, and its determination to fight till all
! its resources are exhausted before az
cepting compromises.
Efforts at a compromise are kept up
in desultory way and Senator Cock
rell, who has taken the lead as COM
promiser, continues to work in that
direction. Today he did not, however,
make material progress. Both the
radical Democrats aad the Republican
repeal senators asserted positively that
a compromise proposition would never
secure vote sufficient to ensure its
adoption.
Senator Sherman was asked tonight
by a representative of the Associated
Press what he thought of the prospect
for the repeal bill. Sherman replied
that it all depended upon the Demo-
cratic side. 'We," said he, referring to
the repeal Republican, ''are quiescents

The two Eyre brothers of Olney had q
rtract to dig well, but the drill

and engaged Eyer brothers OF Dwight to
dynamite the work. The brothers, with
their helpers, arrived this morning,
filed two-foot piece of gaspipe with
dynamite and were Gaping it with
solder when the thing exploded. The
killed and injured we're thrown over so
feet and were terribly mangled. The
shock was plainly felt at Sampus, five
miles away, and the entire business por-
tion of the city shows its effects. Every
piece OF glass around the public square
was shattered and much other damage
done. DR.. Hamilton, the town physi-
clan, was painfully injured and his en-
tire stock of drugs destroyed.
