the city. Scarcely q day passes that stran-

robbed. Mayor Harrison has shut dow
on such joints, having revoked the license
of two places recently and closed them up.
George McFadden, a Worlds fair visitor
from Idaho, went to Chicago with S1,0oe
and two elegant 'sparks" in his shirt front.
One day he made the acquaintance of W
we'll dressed confidence men. They escort
ed the westerrer about town, showing him
the sights of the levee and buying wine
galore.
At late hour they escorted him to a
saloon kept by Mike Bauer, an e%H-convict,
on Wabash avenue. There his wine was
drugged, and the next morning he was
found wandering about in a dazed condi-
ton out near the Garfield park race track
minus $500 Of his money and his two
| diamonds. The thieves escaped, but Mike
Bauer's saloon was closed up by the mayor
as result of this robbery. Bauer is known
as the man who committed the Morrow
jewelry robbery at the Clifton hotel some
years ago, getting away with $4,000 worth
Of jewelry.

pedestrian On his way home from q day
spent at the fair. The command strikes
terror to the heart of the victim, and when
the cold muzzle of a revolver is showed into
his face he obeys with alacrity. The rob-
Der does the rest. There is something
about the earnest yet pitiful gaze of a re-
volver as it looks into q mans eye hat
carries weight with it. As the victim looks
at the small hole in the revolverit enlarges,
and after 1t has been been before his eyes
for a moment the small 50 caliber cavity
looks like the entrance to a tunnel. 1t is
with a sigh of relief that the victim sees
the robber disappear up some dark alley.

CHANCES OF COMPROMISE.
The Protracted Session of the Senate to Be
Bitter.
Chances of Holding a QuOrum-Will
Negotiations Follow a Failure3-
Both Sides in Earnest

Both sides in the Senate are strengthen
ing their lines for the battle on Wednesday
The repealers say that there will be no
Sinking on their part. and that they will
not show the white feather, but will stand
there until they can demonstrate whether
or not majority can legislate in the Sem
ate. They are fully convinced that by
means OF protracted continuous session, If
by any means, a vote can be reached on
the voorhees, bill. Every other expediency
has been adopted, and If that fails the
extraordinary spectacle will be presented
OF Senate utterly incapable of doing any
thing which is opposed in any quarter
The silver men are now assuming the atti-
tude Of defiance which leads them rather to
court test of physical endurance. They
may well do this, since the fatigue of the
continuous session must fall on the major
ity, which has in its composition number of
men who are not in a physical condition to
endure the fatigue Of an all-night session.
For this reason the general assumption is
that quorum will be broken and the pro-
uacted session ended without the accom-
plishment of anything. After this there
can be nothing left but compromise, and
there is some arrogance being disr layed by
the radical silver men in their confidence of
success They are saying that the admins
tration forces will find it more difficult to
secure favorable compromise after the
test of physical endurance has been made
and has failed than they could secure now
If they would agree to enter into negotia-
tions for a compromise at once. In antici-
patton Of Wednesdays battle the southern
Senators who are fighting against the un-
conditional repeal have been conferred to-
gether and have taken a position of re-
sistance so that. If the repeal men could
hold quorum in the Senate chamber the
silver forces would still be sufficiently
strong to prevent a vote during session
protracted for many days. The outlook
therefore seems to be more and more GER
tainly toward compromise, and there is a
possibility that within twenty-four hours
after the protracted session is started the
substantial terms of a compromise will be
outlined and agreed upon in private con-
ference.

will have busy time of 1t for the next six

be ready for her spin. and after her will
come the big Columbia. The accident to

being tested until late in November. The
New York will also have her final trial
preliminary to acceptance during Novem-
ber. The Machias will be tested soon after

Liliuokalani dynasty, returned to San Fran
cisco Saturday. She will be surveyed and
put out Of commission. when she viii be
repaired and thoroughly overhauled. She
made the trip from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco in eleven days. which is a good aver
age run and indicates that her bottom is
not so foul as has been represented. 1t
was understood that her hull was covered
with a heavy growth of marine vegetation
and that her speed would be much af-
fected thereby. The result, however shows
that such was not the case. The Boston
has taken prominent part in the recent
history of the Hawaiian Islands. She as

the monarchy was overthrown and she
was also present when the flag was hauled
