NO SENATE DEADLOCK
NO NIGHT SESSIONS HEREAFTER
The Silver Forces win Require an Abso
lutte Quorum Henceforth-A Fight
for Compromise.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Word sent along
the line of the silver forces at o'clock
tonight was to filibuster and require an
absolute quorum at all times. The pur-
futilitv of attempting to further force
unusual hours. A visit was made TO
Secretary Carlisle by Senator Voorhees,
this morning. The two gentlemen ex-
changed views on the situation and Car
Isle urged Senator Voorhees, to hold
firm and keep the forces in line. 1t was
Immediately after this visit that Senator
Voorhees, repaired to the capitol and
announced his intention of asking the
senate TO sit until 10 o'clock at night.
Appearances would justify the state
.ment that the administration has taken
another occasion to announce and en-
phasize its opposition to any deviation
from the course originally mapped and
its determination to hold out till its re
sources are exhausted before accepting
a compromise.
Efforts at compromise are kept up in
a desultory way, and Senator Cockrell,
who has taken the lead as an advocate
of compromise, continued to work in
that direction. He did not, however,
make material progress. Both radical
democrats and republican repeal sena-
tors asserted positively that compro-
mise proposition would never secure a
vote suficient&o insure its adoption.
Senator Sherman was asked tonight
by representative of the Associated
Press what he thought of the prospect
for the repeal bill. Senator Sherman
replied that it all depended on the dem
ocratic side. ''We," said he, referring
to the repeal republicans, "are quies-
cent. They do not seem to realize that
they are in the majority and the respon-
sloility for legislation rests with them 2
There will probably be no more night
sessions while the repeal bill is pending
The silver senators clogged the wheels
effectually for about two hours tonight,
and would probably continue to do so.
but for an understanding brought about
by an ENHANCEMENT which was inaugur-
ated between tho opposing forces to
check filibustering on promise from
some of the leaders of the repeal side
to attempt to arrange matters as not to
make another effort to secure night SEES
sions. The agreement, while 1t was not
perfected, had the effect of causing the
silver men to cease their calls for a
quorum and permitting Senator PETER
to continue his remarks without inter
ruptions. When the arrangement is
completed there will be no more night
sessions.

ing bill. Without action on the bill the
house adjourned.

Young Fair Not Insane.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. ia story was
generally circulated yesterday that c..
L. Fair, son of ex-senator James G. Fair,
who married woman known as Maud
Nelson several days ago, and had started
on bridal tour, was confined in a mad
house, having been dragged off train
by a deputy sheriff. 1t seems he made
over all his property to his wife and
made will in her favor.
1t is now known the young man is
speeding through Arizona with his wife
on Santa Fe train.
All day today an attorney and officers
were securing the city to rescue young
Fair from his captors, and it was not
discovered till late this evening that he
had not been captured.

TO BEAT THE LAND cRABBERs.

Fraudulent Claims.


idaho Proposes to Contest All Their
Fraudulent Claims.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 16.-The land grab
bers of this part of the state are coming
to grief. For several years past it has
been the custom of a class of people
from different parts of the east to come
out to Idaho, look over the desert lands
here, and make filings on large quanti-
ties, go away, and leave the lands IN
improved for long periods.
The state authorities took this matter
under advisement and arrived at the
conclusion that the state stood in the
same relation to these lands as private
citizen, and that it could contest these
fraudulent entries. The issue was
brought before the local land office here,
and the state was defeated, but by cary
ing it up to higher court the decision
of the local land ofice was reversed and
the states case held TO be good. The
state land inspectors are now filing con-
tests against quite large number of
these fraudulent entries.

MIXED UP WITH A BEAR.
Wesley Everett of Mullan Badly Handled
by an Infatuated Bruin.


MULLAN, Oct. Is. Wesley Everett
came near losing his life on Saturday
last in an encounter with a cinnamon
bear. On an eminence overlooking the
town w. Everett and August Doyle en-
countered bear and her two cubs, which
were about half grown. Mr.. Everett
wounded the mother bear, which then
made for its would-be slayer, when young
Doyle, who was armed with double
barreled shot gun, commenced pouring
bird shot into the hinder end of the in
hand fight when Everett, backing off,
tried to get in another shot, but found
he could not manipulate his gun. The
bear then disarmed Everett by knocking
his gun from his hands with a blow from
one of its fore paws. At this instant
Everett's heel caught ia some under
brush and he went over backward, the
bear grabbing his right leg above the
knee, inhicting painful wound with its
teeth. 1t then caught Everett's right
arm in its mouth, decorating it in a
frightful manner above and below the
elbow. The next instant, making for
Mr.. Everett's throat, it rolled off of him
dead, the wound inflicted by his first
shot proving mortal. The weight of the
animal. was 500 pounds, the skin alone
weighing 80 pounds Mr.. Everett was
brought to town, his wounds dressed,
and then taken on hand car to Wallace
for surgical treatment.

Thousand Dollars.

One Million Two Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars.
The Treasury Department is redeem
ing United States paper money and
national bank notes at the rate of about
$1,250,0Oo day. The paper is unusually
dirty and torn, showing that it has been
used up to the limit both as regards
health and safety of value.
During the financial stringeucy, when
money was scarce, banks and other hold
ers of paper money would not part with
it as long as bill would hold together,
but now that money is becoming more
plentiful the amount being sent daily
for redemption is increasing. 1t takes
only forty-eight hours to replace old bills
with new ones.
Most of the new notes issued in place
of. the old notes destroyed are of the
denominations IS, $40 and $50.

Seattle in Luck.

SEATTLE, Oct. lit is more than
probable that the Kurg deficit will be
made good tomorrow by his bondsmen.
When the city treasurer fed he had
but SIS, 900 in cash on hand, when he
should have had S295, 900. The deficit
was lessened by the city accepting war
rants, notes, mortgages and other Sc
curities found among Kurg's papers
amounting to $50, 900, leaving the sum
to be made up by Kurg and his bonds
men in the neighborhood of S125, 900.
They have succeeded in securing about
$3s, 600 from one borrower, which leaves
about Ss7 900 20 be made up by them.
Henry Thurman, who was one of the
chief borrowers, will put up $25, 900 of
this sum, and the other bondsmen will
raise the balance.

STORM IN THE SENATE
a CAUCUS LIKELY TO BE HELD
Boths Sides Becoming Impatient and
Anxious for an Agreement ON the
Silver Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE storm
which broke in the senate TO-DAY serves
as an index to the feeling of impatience
and resistance which is gradually ac-
cumulating.
Senator Sherman's taunt of the demo-
Gratis for failure to agree has the effect
of increasing the prospect for caucus
of the democratic senators. There is
possibility of a joint democratic
caucus of both house and senate as
suggested by Senator Hill and acqui-
esced by Senator Butler. All the mem
bers of the senate are beginning to feel
that the present strain can not last a
great while longer and a desperate
effort will be made to find relief in some
direction. The silver men court ad-
journment and appear confident that
the result would be favorable to them.
In conclusion Senator Sherman said:
''Break down the barrier now main
tanned by the United States senate,
break up this violent and insolent ob-
struction to the will of the majority;
give the senate free power and. play,
and in ten days from this time the skies
will brighten, business will resume its
ordinary course and all the clouds that
have lowered on our house in the deep
bosom of the ocean will be buried"

Rich Placer Diggings in the Boise Basin
Have Been Located.

Rich Placer Diggings in the Boise Basin
Have Been Located.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 16.-An interesting
mining operation has developed here
that is one important in itself and that
promises to be productive of some very
determined litigation. A company form
ed of Thomas Logan, Lon Logan, Joseph
Pinkham, J. Richards, E. R. Leonard, ].
N. Wallace, c.. S. Kingsley and A. L.
Richardson have located Moose creek
from point four miles below Idaho City
to two miles above that place and one
mile up Elk, seven miles in all, the
claims embracing 600 acres. This creek
runs through the heart of the rich dig
gings that made Boise basin famous.
The bed of the creek, with considerable
ground on either side, was never oper-
ated, owing to the expense of diverting
the stream. Various plans have been
devised for solving the problem, but
none have been successful. The present
company propose to put in dredge and
amalgamator. 1t is understood Merritt
Bros, Minnesota iron ore miners, are
interested in the scheme. The ground
has been held by the Idaho Bedrock
Flume Company. 1t is claimed this com
pany has not kept up its assessment.
Hon. Geo. Ainslie of Boise, Isador Smith
of Idaho City and William Carr of Zanes-
vile, Ohio, hold the stock of this COM
pany. 1t is said they will make as bit
ter fight and conflict over the posses
sion of the ground as possible. There
is supposed to be many millions of gold
in the ground in dispute.

TAKING UP TIMBER CLAIMS.
There are Large Quantities of Fine Tim

DER AFDInQ
KEYpRIcK, Idaho, Oct. 16.-Quite a
number of timber claims have been
taken in the Elk river country, as there
is talk of Michigan company putting
in a large saw mill there. In fact 1t is
almost an assured fact, as party of
six from Michigan have been looking
over the field and two of them have re-
manned on Elk creek. They are o. L..
Benson ard J. w. Budd. AS for the
quality of timber it can no. be beat when
it comes to white pine, cedar and black
pine. Mr.. Benson pronounced it the
finest timber he ever saw, not excepting
Michigan. It is the intention of the
company to put in narrow gauge rail
road from here there, a distance OF
about 25 miles, to connect with the
Northern Pacific.
A company has been formed to work
the Bear creek mines and four men
will start in Monday on William Myers
claim on the upper end Of the creek to
see what is there. AS about 100 claims
have been located it means considerable
to Kendrick if anything rich is discov-
cred

UNCLE SAM AND TnE u. P.
Enormous Interest which Must Be Care
fully Guarded.


WASHINGTON, Oct, 15.-The resolution
passed by the house relating to the re-
ceivership of the Union Pacific railway,
and calling upon the attorney general
to inform the house about such legisla-
ton, if any, that is necessary in order
to secure the Indebtedness of that COM
pany to the government, may result in
important developments in the relations
of that company and the government.
The relations between the government
and the company were materially alter
of receivers, not so much from a legal
standpoint as by the Thurman act,
whereby the government obtained a
lien of all the property of the company,
but the insolvency of the company rem
ders it impossible for it to discharge its
obligations to the government when
they mature. 1t gives the receivers,
under common law, power to convert
the assets into cash and empowers them
to issue receivers certificates to operate
the road, which would constitute lien
paramount to that of the United States.
Some of the bonds mature in 1895, and
if matters with the road go badly under
the receivership the result might be to
throw the governments claim and al
other liens into court with the inevita-
BILE effect of great loss TO the govern
ment's interest.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-In the house
the bloody shirt waved for time this
morning. when the bill removing the
necessity for an Affirmative proof of the
loyalty of pensioners of wars previous
to the civil war was called up. Mr..
Burrows claimed that it would repeal a
section barring from the civil war pen
sions all who had engaged in the re-
bellion. Colonel Oates denied this and
said that it only effected few surviv-
ors of the Mexican and Indian wars.
"Call your hell-hounds off the track
of Union soldiers, uvehemently said Mr..
Burroughs, "before you restore men
who were false to the Union to the pen
sion rolls" Republican applause.
Colonel Oates suggested that the bill
be modified to expressly exclude con-
federates from the civil war pension
rolls. The modification was accepted
and the bill passed.
The house then resumed considera-
ton of the Cox banking bill. Mr.. Lock
wood opposed it vigorously.

A Tennessee Bank Robbed by Trusted
Official.
HUNTINGDON, Tenn, Oct. 1S.-When
the Bank Of Carroll, one of the oldest
financial institutions in Tennessee,
failed week ago the business circles
of Huntingdon were shocked, but the
sensation was nothing compared with
the result of today,s disclosures. When
the bank suspended R. F. Truslow, the
cashier, left town on the pretext that
he was going east to raise money to
put the bank on it's feet again. AS
days PISSED and no news came from the
cashier the directors grew nervous and
telegraphed to the manufacturers of
the safe for the combination. The
document came today and when the
vanlts were opened the bank officials
found TrusIow had stolen all the con-
tents but $15.06. Even the safety de-
posit vaults had been broken into and
robbed. The depositors will lose
everything. Truslow stood high in
business and social circles. Since the
failure of the bank it has been learned
that he had led a double life, being
known in Cincinnati and Chicago as a
man who owned large string of Ten
nessee race horses.

Merited End of John Harvey, One OF
the Most Noted Confidence Men-Not

Express from Niagara Falls says: Three
strange and mysterious looking men ar
rived here on the Michigan Central train
on Sunday night. One Of them was very
III aud apparently suffering great pain
They went to a small and rather obscure
hotel where only the sick man registered
After putting the sick man to bed
his companions hunted up a doctor and
soon fter left. They have not returned
and probably will not and the sick man
is now corpse
The dead man was John Harvey, alias
Airing, one of the most noted expert
confidence men in the country.
He has served various terms of i'm
prisonment during his life and has been
an associate Of "Clutch" DOnohue, Of
Buffalo. and others of equal disrepute
Scarcely rogue's gallery of any import
ance is without his picture
Soon after the mans arrival his com
panions showed big rolls Of bills and
said they would pay for any attendance
The hotel keeper says that Harvey had
a roll as big as that Of his companions
but it has gone with the men and he died
without a cent
When he was told that he was going
to die, Harvey took all the papers about
him and destroyed them, thus leaving
no means Of discovering who his friends
are.
Early in the seventies Harvey was a
member Of the bar in Ohio His home
was at Hamilton, where he had excel
lent family connections.
The authorities are rather puzzled as
to what disposition to make of the re-
mains. The coroner has started ia
investigate the matter to see il the
causes of death we're not violence but
thus far has made little headwsy.
