shooting affray occurred here last night
In which three men We're fatally wound
ed and a fourth seriously hurt A
crowd Of citizens Joined the police in
the chase Of a would-be murderer send
ing after him a fusillade Of shots in
the crowded streets. William Green
and Tom Mullen were standing outside
a saloon at the corner of Seventh and
Broadway when Peter Butts an ac-
qualntance Of Green, passed by. Green
accosted Butts asking him when he got
out OF jail Butts drew a revolver and
shot Green, who fell 10 the curb. Po-
hceman Scanlan then attempted TO ar
rest Butts, who fed, firing at the Of

bullets hit a street car conductor by

BIMETALLIC CONVENTION.
The Meeting begins at ST. Louis
Today.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 2.-The delegates 20
the Pan-Amerfcan bimetallic convention
which meets at Armory hall tomorrow at
1880 o'clock have begun TO arrive.
President A. c. Fisl1e reached the city
this morning by the Chicago & Alton
train and thirteen Colorado delegates
came with him from Denver. Burleigh
Johnson, president Of the Topeka, Kas.,
bimetallic league, was also among the
early arrivals and announced that the
leagues delegation would come in to-
morrow morning. Governor Lewelling
will be among them. Other delegates
are coming in a scattering way and
while a large number have arrived IL is
not yet possible to estimate either the
number here or that will be here.
Secretary Olney Newell was even more
pronounced in his assertion that this
was not only a bimetallic convention
but a trade convention gathered TO rep
resent every industry Of the South and
West and to show those industries that
their community Of interests demanded
a change of trade relations. Neverthe-
less the interests of silver as a money
metal are not to be lost sight Of. Yet
while the leaders are arguing thus the
delegates have not vet spoken

of gold in the sub-treasury at New York
and the national banks Of other countries
should be adopted, the certificates of
deposit to be transferable by telegraph
and the balances to be paid through an
international clearinghouse. He also
favored the convertible bond plan OF ex-
changing bonds for currency in order to
obtain ready money in times of crises
or panic.
When Mr.. Mcmillan finished the abb
sence Of quorum was so evident that
Mr.. Wolcott called attention to the fact.
By means of a roll-call the temporary
presence Of a quorum was secured and
the house bill TO extend the time for
completing the work of the eleventh
census was passed.
The consideration of the repeal bill
was then resumed and Mr.. Dolph of
Oregon took the floor to give mis- views
as to the real cause Of the business and
financial trouble, which he said was the
fear of hostile tariff legislation. He said
the repeal Of the provision for the pur-
chase of silver bullion wouldn't restore
confidence, although he favored the re-
peal Of the law. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Dolph said If the Minneap-
oils platform had been believed to mean
free coinage the republican party would
have been dead and buried and damned
beyond the hope of resurrection.
Any worse than it is now?" asked
Mr.. Teller. and Mr.. Dolph ignored the
question IN the general laughter Wnlcn
followed. After a brief executive ses-
sion the senate adjourned.
Notes.
The Breckenridge Pollard case has
been placed on the trial calendar for
the October term.
The democratic members Of the ways

NEAR NEW ORLEANS.
The Worst Hurricane in Many Years

The Worst Hurricane in Many Years
Il. & n. Suffers Heavily.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2.-Ex-Gover-
nor II. &C. Warmoth and family are at
the st. ChsSles hotel. They came to
town yesterday from their Magnolia
plantation because of the havoc wrought
by the storm of Sunday to their resi-
dence. The furious gusts tore such a
large number of states from the roof
OF the stately plantation home Of the
governor that all the upper rooms were
Hooded by the rain that accompanied
the hurricane. The sugar house was
partly unroofed. The drainage machine
was blown down. 1.-The cane shed, cook
house and blacksmith shop were levelled
to the ground. The governor is happy
TO state that no lives were lost on his
place. The orange crop all along the
lower coast has suffered incalculable
injury. The fruit literally strews the
ground. Reports Of serious accidents
have been received from Pointe a la
Hetche and vicinity. The steeple of
the court house and the Steeple or the
catholic church was blown down. Sew
eral houses were wrecked and 1t
is said that four persons were
killed. Almost every plantation on the
lower coast has suffered. Chimneys were
destroyed, sugar house roofs We're torn
from their supports and dashed to pieces,
cane sheds were wrecked, drainage
machines were damaged and the many
houses were rendered unfit for further
habitation. 1t is reported that three
children were killed in one of the little
settlements below Magnolia plantation.
Every stick of sugar cane is down, but
may not be much damaged as the cane
is liable to recover from the blow. Gov
ernor Warmoth said that this storm was
the worst experienced in Louisiana since
1911. The hurricane of 1883 was not half
so violent and destructive.
During the high wind and rain storm
of Sunday night and Monday morning
the l.. & n. suffered the most dis
astrous washOut nj the history of the
road. The line is impossible east Of
Chefmenteur nineteen miles from New
Orleans, for a distance of fifteen miles
and from the statements of trainmen it
is learned that the entire line to Mobile
has suffered more or less. Two bridges
are reported down, one at Bay st. Louis,
Miss, and at Biloxi, Miss, and traffic
is entirely suspended. Miles of telegraph
lines along the road are down and COM
municatiOn has not yet been re-estab-
lished. A force of men left for the
scene of trouble tonight and another
force is working from the Mobile end.
Many Reported Killed.
AS far as can be learned twenty-four
or more persons in this vicinity We're
killed. and probably three times as
many were wounded, some of them fatal
ly, besides destroying a large amount Of
property at New Orleans The fatali-
ties in this city so far as known are:
Dead:
ULRICH BAUER. a policeman, killed
by falling building.

citement.

DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
Further Discussion of. the Voorhees,
Repeal Bill.

Further Discussion of. the Voorhees,
Repeal Bill.
In the senate today the most interest
ing incident occurred early in the day
By means OF personal statement Mr..
Dubois Of Idaho got up the subject Of
the vacancies in the senatorial repre-
sentation of the states of Washington,
Wyoming and Montana, and repeated
his argument made when the resolution
which he offered was under discussion
a few days since, as TO the Importance
OF these states being fully represented
when vote should be taken upon the
repeal bill.
Mr.. Washburn Of Minnesota asserted
positively that the senators from two
Of the states in question, Mr. Squire
OF Washington and Mr.. Carey Of Wyo-
ming, would vote for unconditional re-
peal, leaving the inference that If the
question were postponed until senators
could be elected from those states their
votes would not aid the opponents Of
repeal. When the authority for his
statement was demanded Mr.. Wash
burn said:
1.-The senators themselves" adding
that Mr.. Squire had informed him that
he would vote for unconditional repeal
The statement created something of a
sensation, and Mr.. Dubois declared en-
phatically that the senators alluded to
peal
There were two formal speeches on
the repeal bill. one by Mr.. Kyle Of
South Dakota against the bill, and the
other by Mr.. Mcmillan of Michigan
against free coinage
Mr.. Kyle ridiculed the idea that with
free coinage the United States would
be flooded with silver. 1t was not sur
prising that England preferred a single
gold standard, and when II was remem-
bered that the United States annually
paid England $500, 900 900 as interest IL
was plain that her effort 70 enhance the
value Of gold was a selfish one. Mr.
Kyle said he would agree TO vote to
contract the currency as provided by the
pending bill II the private and public
debts and taxes Of the people OF the
United States were scaled down in like
proportion. IL that be rs per cent.
Mr.. Mcmillan Of Michigan addressed
the senate In favor of repeal
International bimetallism being out Of
the question for the present. he said.
this country should use all the silver
possible without departing from a gold
tandard. Gold should be held primarily
for use in paying foreign balances and
TO this end the plan OF an international
gold currency based on actual deposits
