wAsHINdrow, D. c., Oct. S.-The diff.
culties in the way Of securing COM
promise on the repeal bill become moro
and more apparent every day, bee ause
OF the differences which exist on the
Democratic side OF the senate chamber.
These have made themselves from the
beginning most manifest on the ques-
ton OF issuing bonds.
Some OF the especial champions OF
the administration insist that If silver
is to be coined to the extent OF $780,
100000 or SSOO,0O0 0OO, as ia proposed.
in order to preserve the parity OF gold
and silver it will be absolutely neces'
sary to procure greater supply OF gold.
This position is combatted by ma
jority OF the silver Democrats, and
many OF them announce their unalter-
able opposition. The discussion has
also developed the fact that there are
some Democratic senators who favor re.
peal who will not vote for bond
issue because of the bad effect
which they think the adoption of such
u policy would have upon the
party. Unless the bond question could
be in some way eliminated from the
measure, it therefore seems impossible
for the Democratic party to agree upon
bill as party measure. A Republi-
can senator expressed the opinion to-
day that when compromise came, If it
should come, it would originate on his
side OF the chamber.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-10-04

dozen senators participated in the dis
cussion, and Mr.. Dolph suggested that
the best way to secure fair play was ior
senators to form ring, which recalled
to Mr.. PaImer's mind the story of the
boy and the dog. The farmer had put
on q cow-hide, and the boy had set the
dog on him. When the farmer shouted
to have the dog called of the boy ans
wered, "Oh, no pap, it may be rough on
you, but it will be the making OF the
pup" Laughter)
Mr.. Palmer said il the senate had no
power to govern itself, no power to reg.
lister it's decision when 1t had reached
n conclusion; ii it were mere impotent
body and nothing could be done but
talk and talk forever, it was an abor-
ton. 1.-THE time will come, said Mr..
Palmer, when the country will insist
that the senate shall, in the interest OF
law apd right and in the exercise Of its
great power, declare in some way or
another that it will govern itself; that
when the judgment OF the majority is
matured that majority shall be per-
mitted to register its determination.
AS it is it has no power to make a law
except by the consent of the minority"
YES, IT CAN TALK.
Mr.. Teller (Rep., Colorado) inquired
whether the senate had not been able
to make all necessary laws up to the
present time in tho presence OF the sen.
ate, and that he was astonished to find
that it was impotent. sit has no power
to act! 1t cannot speak! Oh, pardon
me. it can speak" Laughter.
Mr.. Dubois rep, Idaho) thought
that whenever there was strong senti-
ment in the country in favor OF any
measure the senate would respond, but
the senator from Illinois knew as well
as he did that the senate did not dare
TO pass the repeal bill. "There is no
sentiment in favor of it" said Mr.. Du-
bois. 81 honestly believe there are not
ten senators here who are anxiously de-
sirous of passing the unconditional re-
peal bill. II there was strong senti.
ment here they would pass it. There is
manufactured sentiment on the out
side, but it does not exist here"
DUBOIS DEFIANCE.
"If the senator from Idaho and those
whom he represents" said Mr.. Voor-
hees, will give us a chance to vote We
will answer the question whether there
are ten. or four or five times ten sena.
tors who will vote for the unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman act"
81 will say to the senator from Indi-
ana," replied Mr.. Dubois, de6antly,
"that you have power to resort to any
end you see fit, but the minute you un-
dertake to resort to any unusual
methods it will be demonstrated how
futile it is to endeavor to pass the un-
conditional repeal bill"
81 only wish l had the power to re-
sort to measures to compel vote" said
Mr.. Voorhees,.
After short executive session the
senate adjourned.

The Wind Blew Perfect GRle-Trecs
Uprooted and Houses Unroofed.
PENSACOLA, FLA, Oct. 9.-The most
destructive storm that has visited
Pensacola in twenty years began at 8
o'clock yesterday morning and ragged
with increased fury until a late hour
last evening. The nearest approach
TO the gale was the storm Of 1881. The
storm had been brewing since Saturday.
Hard rains fell Saturday afternoon and
Sunday, but storm OF such great in
tensity was not expected by any one.
At 4 a. IN. yesterday the wind fresh
ened and the rain increased in force.
BY 5 q. m. a terrible southeast gale was
blowing which continued at the rate Of
fifty miles an houruntil noon, when the
wind shifted to the south and increased
to sixty miles. Between and 3p. m,
1t began to shift to the southwest and
at 2:45 p. IN. the storm had reached its
climax, the wind at this time having
reached velocity OF sixty-six miles an
hour. No loss or life has been reported
but upon every street uprootad trees,
broken fences and roofless buildings
testify to the storm's force. The greater
damage was on the bay. The Portuguese
bark Josephine and the Norwegian bark
Wilhelminia were blown on the beach,
one Of the vessels is in dangerous posi-
tion, but it is thought that both can be
floated.
Trains were detained, owing to wash
outs. Telegraphic communication was
cut off before 10 a. IN. and no news OF
the storm could be sent out last night

poYERrY M KANSAS.

Representative Davis Is Rather Confused
by Members of the Banking Committee.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 3.-The hear
ings before the banking and currency
committee began this morning. Repre-
sentative Davis, of Kansas, opened the
arguments in support Of his bill for the
issue OF fifty million fractional currency.
and to prevent the withdrawal OF ma
tional bank notes from circulation. He
said very little about these bills, but
made q general financial speech. He
wanted no new experiments in finance.
He was asked by Mr.. Hall, OF Missouri,
if he thought Secretary Carlisle should
have paid out silver instead Of gold
when demanded. "No man has right
to demand any specified kind of money
from tho United States. He is entitled
to lawful money only" replied MIR.
Davis.
Coming back to- his bill to prevent
the contraction OF the currency, he
quoted the late Senator Plumb as assert.
ing that the contraction OF national
bank currency had cost this country
three billions OF dollars, or more than
the war debt. Many members of the
committee asked various questions.
Several times Mr.. Davis said we could
not pay our debts.
"Who do you mean by 'we'"P asked
Chairman Springer.
"The people OF the United States"
"That is not true of Missouri" said
Mr.. Hall, and Mr.. Cobb of the same
atate noddad asaenk
"Nor of Connecticut" said Mr..
"Nor Indiana" said Mr.. johnson.
N would like to take Illinois out OF
the category" said Chairman Springer.
Mr. Davis then stated that 1t was 30
in Kansas, where the people were
largely in debt. Asked as to the report
that the people OF Kansas were plying
off its mortgage Indebtedness, he said
that the taking up of their mortgage
meant the eviction Of the people.

Chicago, Oct. ga special to the
Chicago Times from New Orleans says:
The reports that comes in from the
gulf coast of Plaquemine and Jefferson
parishes OF the damages of the storm
are OF the most alarming character
The worst news is from Bayou Cook,
midway between Bartoria Bay and the
mouth OF the Mississippi. Here
colony of oyster fishermen, numbering
$50, is reported to be completely ami
hilated with nearly the entire popula-
tion killed.
At Grand Isle much damage is re-
ported. The new hotel was blown down
and the island flooded.
The following is a summary of the
number of lives lost SO far as known up

Visit of Carlisle Indian school Childre
To.morrow NIexIeo Day.

Visit of Carlisle Indian school Children.
Tomorrow Mexico Day.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, Oct.
S.-Paid admissions to the Fair yester-
day 1921.
The pupils of the Carlisle, Pa, Indian
school, came to the Fair to-day. Five
hundred Of them arrived in Chicago
yesterday, and took up quarters south
OF the fair. The school is a military
institution, and there are several we'll
drilled companies and band Of thirty
two pieces.
A concert was given by the band and
choir OF several hundred voices in
festival hall. The hall was filled with
visitors curious to hear the Indians
sing. Both the band and choir are
well trained, and the concert WAS thor
oughly enjoyed. They will remain
here about two weeks.
Tomorrow is Mexico day, and Mori-
ano ]. Garfas, secretary of the Mexican
commission, has arranged suitable ex-
ercises for the occasion. A failure to
secure rates on the railroads kept away
large numbers who had expected to
come.
Colonel Green, in charge of the Mex
lean exhibit at the anthropological
building building, has worked hard for
the success OF the day and has been at
tracing attention to the wonderful re-
sources OF the country. Commissioner
Garfas has planned to give away 5000
cups of coffee tomorrow. The Mexican
badn, which made such success during
the New Orleans exposition, will give q
concert in festival hall.
There is no likelihood at the present
time OF race between the celebrated
New York Central engine 800 and the
Queen Em Press, the London Northwest
ern engine, both OF which are on ex-
hibition at the fair. The story to the
effect that the two big iron horses would
contest to settle $1,000 wager made
between an English railroad magnate
and an easterner is not confirmed.
1t is highly probable, however, that
several OF the engines now on exhibi-
ton will be tested as to power and
speed before the exposition closes.

"IlI support that. too. What has

at this Mr.. Kyle appealed to the
speaker to prevent further Interrupt

California, followed in opposition.
Mr.. De Forrest, of Connecticut, advo-
Gated the passage OF the bill.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr..
Murray, OF New York, asked unanimous
consent for the present consideration OF
the New York and New Jersey bridge
bill.
The bill was about to 60 through
without objection with twenty.eight

the point OF no quorum, after denounc.

ABOUT APPOINTMENTS.
The President Divides the Work Anon
the Cabinet Officers.

The President Divides the Work Among
the Cabinet officers.
WAsulxdToN, D. G., Oct. 3.-Presi-
dent Cleveland has adopted the policy
OF accepting the recommendations of
cabinet officers for orappointmentsc coming
under their departments. instead OF
undertaking to pass personally
cants in each individual case.
He pursued the latter course during his
last administration and undertook to
continue it in this, but the pressure
upon him ior office has been so great
that he has been compelled in the in
terest OF his health to abandon the task,
and to divide the work OF filling the
offices among the eight members Of his
cabinet.
Senators and representatives and poll
iticians instead OF personally appealing
to the President direct their energies
toward securing favorable endorsements
by the heads OF departments. And the
recommendations OF the cabinet Of
ficers are followed by the Presi-
dent unless he has from other sources
information that leads him to believe
the appointments should not be made.
This plan, it is said, works to the
entire satisfaction OF the congress-
men and others, while the members
of the cabinet do not object to the ad-
ditional work imposed upon them.
There is no curtailment of the visiting
privileges of members OF Congress, and
they can readily secure an audience
with the President on public business s
not pertaining to office.

parish, felt the brunt OF tho storm.
Several houses we're blown down, and
there was much terror felt by the resi-
dents until the storm had spent its
fury. The loss there will be heavy.
THREE KILLED.
Mrs. La France and her babe were
both killed in trying to escape from
their home, which was shivered by the
storm. At the Empire mill, near Pointe
A La Hache, young mulatto woman
was killed by falling timber. Many
persons were bruised, but the death
list is confined, as far as known, to the
three mentioned. Most OF the planta-
tion houses. barns, sheds and fences
suffered, and many thousands OF dollars
will have to be spent in repairs for them.
The orange crop Of Plaquemine runs
from two to four hundred thousand
boxes. A conservative estimate put
tho crop this year at three hundred
thousand. That was before the storm.
1t is feared that these figures will be
cut down fifty per cent, making a
money loss of quarter OF million.
From Poydras Plantation, south, most
OF the cane was blown down. No plan
tation escaped. What the loss will be
depends on future conditions.
NO TRAINS SINCE SUNDAY.
No trains have arrived since Sunday.
1t will be two or three days before
trains can come, and q month before
the track and roadbed can be made as
sound as before the storm. Many
prominent residents of the city includ-
ing business men, were caught in the
storm at fishing camps at English Look
out, and had a night OF terror. All the
huts weathered tho storm but one.
There was no life lost and the citizens
who had been caught at that point who
could not get home owing TO the wash
out on the Louisville & Nashville road,
were brought to town this morning on
Captain Pointevants tug, which crossed
the lake. On the way over this tug en-
countered q schooner bottom up and
two others dismasted and wrecked. 1t
was impossible to learn if there had
been any loss of life, but it is feared
that there was.
News reached here this evening from
Port Eads that the wind blew eighty
miles an hour there on Sunday night
that is at the mouth of the river. John
Case, the nightwatchman OF the Jetty
Company, was drowned while attempts
ing to cross the pass. 1t is thought his
boat was shattered by the Morgan
steamer FL Cid, which was going to sea,
At Shell Beach the club house was
wrecked and fishing camps damaged.

Sale of worlds Fair Goods.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 3.-The
ways and means committee this morn
ing authorized Mr. Bynum to report
favorably house joint resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Duborow, to so amend the
Worlds Fair act to permit the sale and
delivery OF goods heretofore imported
and now in the exposition buildings.
The committee authorized an amend
ment 50 as to provide that all goods on
exhibition il sold or removed for con-
sumption shall pay so per cent OF the
duties OF the existing law. The resolu-
tion provided for a fifty per cent reduc-
tion, but it was thought the amendment
was necessary in order to reach goods
on which specific duties are levied.

It May Probably Be Sailed In n Gale,
Which is Due in New York.
New YORK, Oct, 3.-Fully 10000 peo-
pie visited the yacht valkyrie to-day.
The earl OF Dunraven has marveled at
the general interest taken in the races
on this side of the water. There is a
storm coming, and it is likely that both
boats will bury their noses in the bill
lows OF savage blow. The great gulf
cyclone, which killed score OF people
down south, is raging up through aud
due here tonight
This storm is likely to be reinforced
by another from the west which will
probably increase the force OF the wind
to a gale.
1t is well known that Mr.. Watson
gave the Valkyrie plenty OF BEEN in
view OF rough weather, and it can be
safely asserted that the Englishmen
will insist upon racing even ii boreas

The Valkyrie will be taken of tho
dock to-day and by noon the Vigilant
is expected from New Rochelle. Then
both yachts will be measured for time
allowance and all will be in readiness
for the race Thursday.

MoBILE's MISERY.
Loss of Life in the LowIands Said to b
Great-Shipping Disasters.

Loss of Life in the Lowlands Said to be
Great-Shipping Disasters.
MOBILE, ALA, Oct. 3.-The details OF
the storm which broke with such fury
over the gulf coast Monday morning,
and ragged with increasing fury for five
or six hours, are Just beginning to come
in and as was feared the indications are
that the loss of life in the lowlands has
been very great. There is no doubt
that it will be week, or longer, before
the details OF the storms destruction
will be fully known.
To-day is clear and bright, as if en-
deayoring by its warm radiance to dis
pel the gloom cast over the city yester-
day by the wind and waves.
CASUALTIES TO SHIPPING.
Among the casualties to shipping the
following are all that are known up to
the present time:
Eastern Shore steamer Crescent City
beacbed on the western shore of the bay,
two miles below the city. River steam
ers Lee and Lotus driven on the
marshes, high and dry, two miles above
the city, and will probably both be
total losses. Tug Col. Woodruff driven
n the marshes and may be floated.
In addition to these vessels quite a
number Of barges were blown in the
marshes that line both banks OF the
river north OF the city.
AT various towns along the shell road
twelve churches were wrecked, five OF
them being located at Grand Bay. In
Scranton and East Pascougala, four
miles distant on the sound houses were
blown down, stores flooded and stocks
damaged. The losses at the two points
are said to reach 100000.
DEsoLATIoN AND DEATH.
A row boat trip OF the marshes made
to-day by an experienced newspaper
reporter reveals state of desolation
and death that will almost equal that OF
a month ago at Savannah and the Sea
Islands. At every point touched
houses were completely gone, while
the upper eastern shore was swept as
il by western cyclone.
From Bakely as far southeast rs re-
ports could be had, the natives report
only death and destruction. Four miles
inland the trees are laid low and much
loss OF life is reported all along the
shore. The rumors over there would
place the loss OF life at fifty, bnt possi-
bly, not more than twenty-five have
perished.
This side of Blakely, in the marshes,
whole families have been swept away,
and the actual loss OF life will never be
known. The reporter rescued several
children and tied up two unknown
bodies, one a girl aged II, the other q
man aged about 50, both apparently
Germans.
Five other children. the eldest not
over eight years Of age, we're found tied
together in the marsh opposite Spanish
river mouth. They said their father
and mother had gone in u boat after the
house.
A little further up the river two
more children were rescued.
