1T HAS NO POWER.
An End of the Rule of the
Majority.
DEMOCRACY IN A BAD WAY.
Can Come to No Agreement as a
Party.
silver TEN HOLDING THE WHIP.
1t Looks as Though the Trouble Would
Eventuate in the Disintegra-
tion of the Party.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-The Demo-
cratic steering committee of the Senate
was in session during great part of the
day trying to devise some scheme for the
settlement of the differences existing on
the financial question on that side of the
chamber, and appearances at the close of
the day indicated that some progress had
been made 1t is asserted that the CON-
mittee has progressed far enough to pre-
pare rough draft of bill which is to be
submitted TO the Senate as soon as
majority of Senators can be consulted upon
its merits. The members of the committee
refused to confirm this report, as did also
those with whom they bad consulted. The
story sfoat also asserted that the bill
which is to be submitted would simply
provide for an extension Of the present
law for year from the 1st of next July.
One great obstacle which apparently
stands in the way of progress is the atti-
tude of the repeal advocates. 1t is stated
that an effort is being made to bring these
members to sea the Importance OF settle
ment of the question, and that the scheme
to bring about party settlement of the
mea lure will be dropped II this is unsuc-
cessful. and The Republican Senators will
be asked to join the Democrats so as to
make a majority of the Senate. The
Democratic conference for the present has
given way to a consultation of Senators
individually. and it will not be decided
until late in the week, if at all.
Discussing the situation this afternoon
Senator Pettigrew said: "The Democrats
as a party cannot agree. nor can the Re.
hirtu

and Populists-agaDs st repeal, and eight
counted are with the repealers who are
anxious for a compromise. When either
of the parties can agree upon measure
the silver and compromise men would get
together and frame e bill which would 60
through. because they would have voters
to put it through"
Voorhees, said to-day that he would
make an effort to continue for the present
the recess system inangurated last even
ing. bis plan is to have the Senate sit
each day from 10 to 6o'clock. He is of the
opinion that this viii prove the best plan
for turning out work and getting rid OF
long speeches. He expresses the opinion
that the end of the long debate Is near.
and intimates that the present week may
close IL.
Senator Vest was busy circulating a
call for caucus Of all the Democratic
Senators who will pledge themselves to
abide by the result, If any is reached. The
silver men signed it readily, but the repeal
men held off. 1t is doubtful whether Cor
man will issue the call, unless the desire
for 1t seems pretty general, as 1t is likely
to do more harm than good.

LONDON. Oct. 18.-The Exchange Tele-

push matters TO any extent until the voice

TO FORCE IT'S SALE.
Proceedings Hostile to the North
ern Pacific.
Meanwhile the Ives Faction Has Come
Into Complete Control of the
Property.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct 1S-The Farm
ers Loan and Trust Company of New
York this afternoon began foreclosure
suit against the Northern Pacific on the
second and general consolidated mort
cages. This company figured as one of the
plaintiffs in the receivership suit and now
takes action to foreclose the mortgage 1t
holds. which is interpreted to mean that it
desires to force q sale of the road. Judge
jenkins issu ed an order consolidating the
two suits and the receivers will continue to
conduct the road.
NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-Brayton Ives gave
out late this afternoon that having re-
ceived proxies which would give his fac
tion an overwhelming majority in the

Northern Pacific. those In control grace
fully acknowledge defeat. and the only

following, which has been known as the
Ives Belmont ticket: Isaac W. Anderson,
August Belmont. Charles T. Barney, Will
liam L. Bull. j. Horace Harding, Robert
Harris. Marcellus Hartley, Brayton Ives.
Johnston Livingston, Donald Mackey,
August Rutten, Wilbur F. Saunders. Win
throp Smith.
The Deutscher Bank Of Berlin. whoss
clients are large holders of the Northern
Pacific bonds, is represented on this ticket.
and it is understood that the road will also
have the support of the Rothschilds.
Not only has Ives succeeded in obtaining g
control of the company. but he has har-
moniZed the great financial interests which
are the chief creditors of the Northern
Pacific, and will have their supper. in
pushing the interests of the company.
Ives very modestly declined to say any
thing about the president OF the road, say
ing that was a matter for the directors to
settle, but all indications point to him as
tho new chief executive. Isaac w. Ander-
500. who heads the ticket, is resident of
Tacoms, Wash, and is interested in sew
eral banks and trust companies. he is
one Of the most influential men in Tacoma
and will look after the interests of the
rord in his vicinity This is in accordance
with the new policy. as heretofore. Ives
says the directors have been hundreds Of
miles away and could not detect any abuses
of the officers. Wilber F. Sanders belongs
to Helena, Mont. He is an ex-United
States Senator from that State and a
lawyer Of prominence. He will further
the interests of the Northern Pacific In
Montana.

CATION of the contract made number of
years ago between the Northwestern and
the Union Pacific. is strenuously denied at
headquarters. General Passenger Agent
Lomsx said to-day: 1T is foolish to think
that the receivers will abrogate contrac.
that is mutually advantageous. and all this
talk about the abrogation of the contract
is both premature and lily warranted by
the facts in the case. There is no posi-
bility of the Northwestern completing
It's line to Ogden. thereby depriving the
Union Pacific of business which now comes
to it by right as long as the contract is In
effect. The contract stipulates what shall
be done and what shall not be done during
the life of he agreement. and building into
our territory is expressly prohibited. The
contract is advantageous In many ways.

wrong"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-On reconveping
this morning the Senate listened to Morgan
of Alabama on the motion of Dolph OF
Oregon to amend Mondays journal so as
to show the presence Of Allen at $50 P. NJ.
Of that day, Allen having failed TO answer
when his name was called. Morgan de-
voted most of his remarks to reply to
Hills speech of Yesterday. taking occasion
to characterize the latter as an astute poll
tician rather than fair-mirded lawyer, in
twisting decision of the Supreme Court
to serve his purpose, adding that it took an
easy conscience to follow the Supreme
Court in all its decisions.
Morgan continued at great length,
touching on his part In the rebellion, of
which. he said, ho was not ashamed, and
said the clock had struck at the White
House and the cuckoos In the Senate had
put their heads out of the box and re-

dressed the Senate. He quoted from the
statement of Carlisle In regard to insist
ing upon the passage of the repeal bill,
and said: "What right has the Secretary
of the Treasury to interfere with us in this
matter? l resent it, myself, as a breach
of privilege. When we surrender our
convictions. whether it be on the advice of
the President or on account of public
clamor. the degradation Of the Senate will
begin and the usefulness OF the Senate will
be at an end" He said that when the
Senate declined to be run by boards OF
trade il would command the respect OF
the American people.
Allen OF Nebraska here suggested that no
Quorum was present, but a rolcall deyel-
oped the fact that forty-eight Senators
were present, and Teller proceeded.
Speaking of his right to refrain from
voting, Teller referred to the fact tina,
Conkling, Carpenter and Blaine, when
members of the Senate, had frequently
taken advantage of the privilege and he
declared that no one had questioned their
knowledge of the constitution and of par

THE CLERKS DENY 1T.
Looking Into Charges of Crook
edness in Opening the Strip.
Commissioner Lamoreaux Insists
That the Whole Thing Is Gotten
Up for Political Effect.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-The hearing be-
fore the Committee on Public Lands on
the proposition to investigate the openin g
of the Cherokee strip took rather a sensa-
tional turn to-day. Commissioner Lam
oreaux, with much feeling and great earn
estness. said that after reading the charges
he deemed it the duty OF the commission
to appear in behalf OF these sixty-one
clerks. The charges were not specific,
but were newspaper clippings. No single
man was named. DO place or time of oc.
currence were specified. 1t was no light
thing to charge sixty-one clerks with dis
honorable &C S. Sixty-fye per cent of
them were Republicans. and many had
been in the employ of the Government for
years and were residents of Washingto d.
with honorable places in the community.
Commissioner Lamoreaux presented af-
fidavits from every man In charge OF a
booth, and from these showed how impos-
sibe it would be for the officers!of the Gov
ernment to accapt bribes.

ner and assistant Stone was Lamoreaux's 5
immediate predecessor.
Commissioner Lamoreaux also read a
letter from A. P. Swineford, late Cover
nor of Alaska. but now Inspector-Gencral
of the Land Office, showing that the
charges were not true and were made for
political effect. Other letters making
counter charges against land openings
under Republican administration were
read likewise.
Assistant Attorney General Hall d.

of Delegate Flynn In the House and before
The committee, that the orders of former
administration had been changed by the

said to-day that the committee would prob

He says the McCreary bill is not being

he can say nothing as to its fate in the
