FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

Tho Situation Growing worse-rhe MoOrs
EntrenchihG - Tho spanlards Mako
Another Attack.
MADRID, Oct 3l.-The steamship Africa
from Melilla to-day arrived at Malaga
and brought news from the seat OF war.
According to the information brought
by the Africa the spaniards have made
another sortie from Melilla, and General
Ortega Mt the head OF column OF infan-
try and body Of cavalry has succeeded
in relieving the garrison OF the detach-
ed forts OF Rostrogordo and Cabreizas
which have been for some time past
surrounded by Moors.
The Moors continue to make desuIto-
ry attacks on the Spanish lines, and
lately fired upon the ship which landed
General Marcias, the new commander
OF the Spanish forces at Metitta.
The news that the Moors murdered
and mutilated the Spanish wounded
and that the shrieks of the latter could
be heard in the night by their comrades
in the forts has caused tremendous in
dignation here and has further iR-
creased the war fever.
When the latest news was despatched
from Melilla the Moors were busily at
work reconstructing trenches advanced
to within 900 yards OF the Spanish fort
iticatioas, and the Moors were doing
this in spite OF the fire OF the forts,
which was continuously directed upon
them. To make matters worse, every
hour by day and night the Arabs are
strengthening their positions on the
hills around Meilla, and every day
which elapses without the arrival OF re-
inforcements increases the gravity OF
the situation, and will force Spain to
send more and more men to the front if
she desires to drive those fighting
tribesmen from the hills.
Later-A special dispatch just re.
ceived here from Meiilla has caused
quite commotion. 1t is asserted that
At least 100 Spaniards were killed and
that more than 300 were wounded and
that over 100 we're captured, while 9th.
ers are reported missing. The fate OF
the wounded captured and missing Is
said to be too horrible to contemplate,

THE PROCEEDINGS.
Mr.. Bland objects to the Immediate Con

MIR. Bland Objects to the Immediate Con-
sideratfon of the silver BILL
WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. Sl.-Public
interest was transferred to-day to the
house end of the capitol, where it was
expected that the last act in the great
financial drama that had riveted the at
tention of the country on Washington
for three months past would be enacted.
But the crowds which surged into the
galleries we're doomed to disappoint-
ment. The silver men had discovered
parliamentary obstacle which would
delay the doom OF the white metal Tor
twenty.four hours. Fully $50 members
we're present when Speaker Crisp
dropped the eavel, but not one-ffth OF
them knew OF the sudden change in the
situation.
After the reading of the journal Mr..
Cummings secured unanimous consent
for consideration OF the senate joint res
olution transferring the model OF the
battle ship Illinois at the Worlds Fair
to the city OF Chicago. Without op-
position it was agreed to.
at 1850. while Mr.. Oates was speak
ing, Mr.. Cox, of North Carolina, the
secretary of tho senate, came into tho
house bearing in his arms the repeal
bill. George Smith, the assistant door
keeper, escorted Mr.. Cox down the con-
tire aisle. The speaker raped for order.
"The gentleman from Alabama" said
the speaker, will suspend moment
while the house receives amessage from
! the senate" All eyes were turned
towards the two figures in the main
aisle.
~ am directed by the senate" said
Mr.. Cox, his words racing and tumbling
after each other, ITO inform the house
that the senate has passed an act to re-
peal part OF an act approved July II,
1890 entitled, An act directing the
purchase OF silver bullion and for other
purposes with an amendment to which
l am directed to ask the concurrence OF
the house."
Clerk Cox bowed solemHly. Mr..
Fitch, ot New York. standing in the
area in front OF tho speakers chair,
appiauded vigorously. But the demon
slration was not taken up, and Mr..
Fitch'a solitary applause died away
amid the laughter that swept over the
floor and galleries.
At 1880, when the morning hour ex-
pired, Mr.. Livingston, OF Georgia, cre-
ated some excitement by an attempt to
secure unanimous consent to proceed
with the consideration OF the repeal
bill. His proposition was that the
house agree to consider the bill for the
remainder of the afternoon and to-mor.

LONDON, Oct 3l.-The Brazilian min

States and Brazil in view OF certain
eventuali,ies, is quoted as saying: II

States will not permit restoration OF
the monarchy if it can prevent it. The
American war ships have not gone to

An Effort to bo Made 20 Reform the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct Ex-senator
Blackburn says it is his purpose, as
chairman of the committee on rules, to
take up the subject OF the amendment
and revision OF the rules Of the senate
as authorized by the resolution intro
duced by him and passed by the senate
to-day, as soon alter the convening OF
the regular session as may be practic-
able.
In conversation upon the subject with
representative OF the Associated
Press, he said that the experience OF
the past three months had sufficed to
convince him OF the necessity for u
change OF the rules which would give
the majority OF the senate the power to
do business and reach vote after rea-
sonable debate upon any proposition
before it, and that as chairman OF the
committee, he would do all in his power
to put the senate upon that footing. He
declined to indicate what changes he
would advocate or whether he expected
to secure the cooperation OF the major
ity OF mis- committee.

PIrrsBURau, Pa, Oct, 31,-The Iron
and Steel Sheet Manufacturers Asso-
citation met .here-to5d1y andcdecided to
insist upon the 10 per cent reduction
demanded OF the Amalgamated Asso-
citation. The workmen will be given
time to accept the cut; and, if they re-
fuse, the plants will be operated with
non-union men.
At to-day's meeting twenty OF the
twenty-one sheet mills in the country
we're represented. Recently the Anal
Camated Association reduced the basis
OF the card rate on iron from cents to
II cents, and the sheet manufacturers
say they want the same concession.
This would be equal to cut in wages
OF 10 per cent. A lockout would affect
from $1,000 to $4,000 men.
