Three Times the Winner.

The American yacht Vigilant again beat
the English yacht Valkyrie, the third time
being in a strong wind; the condition which
the English sailors wanted, basing their de-

wind was light and that their yacht was at
it's best while racing in stiff wind.
When it was known that the staunch little
American yacht had taken the third and last
of the series and won the American cup. a

Had Only Begun to Talk.

Senator Martin, after holding the floor for
about eight hours, being relieved frequently
By interruptions and roll calls, apologized
for allowing himself to be diverted from the
logical order of his argument for an hour or
two. and he would now return to it and pro-
coed in quiet way for the next ten hours.
However, at 4 :O5 o'clock he said he would
close his speech for the present, with the
hope that he might continue the discussion
at some future time, as there were many i'm
portant phases of the question TO which he
had not attended.

Florida is Hurt All Over

The whole of the state of Florida was
swept by the great storm. and there is little
question that millions of dollars of damage
has been done. There is almost no COM
munication with the coast by telegraph or
rail and the worst is feared.
In number of groves the ground is COW
cred with oranges, lemons and lines. The
loss thus sustained will probably reach into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

MANY Wr, cks on the Lakes.

The entire chain of lakes was swept by a
northwest gale whose severity has not been
equalled during the season of navigation for
the past ten years.
The list of wrecks in proportion to the
number of vessels which were out i'll the gale
is large, perhaps the largest in the history of
latter day marine.
That there has been a large loss of life
now seems certain, but it may be several
days before it is known just how many sail
ors persisted. Sixteen wrecks are reported.

Signs of Serious Outbreak at the Rose

CHAMBERIAIN. S. D., October T.-Surveyor
Gunderson. of Vermillion, who has returned
from season on and near the Rosebud re-
servation, reports that the Sioux Indians,
and especially the more hostile, have been
on several predatory excursions and COM
PEELED him to stop work. He has charge OF
the United States surveys in that region and
says that while some bands of Indians have
always harrassed him they are unusually
hostile this year. He says they have ham
pered him in his work and eventually their
hostility became so pronounced he was COM
PEELED to leave. The Indians, he says, live
in camps near the reservation and still fol
low the lawless life of many years ago-steal-
ing cattle and horses and even occasionally
killing a settler.
This fall they are fully armed and are in
dulging in the ghost dances, which leaves
them in an excited and turbulent frame OF
mind.
Mr.. Gunderson believes that unless the
dances are stopped serious trouble may occur.
The settlers are preparing for it by prepar.
ing their weapons, etc.

Weakened Up Every Fifteen Minutes.

While Senator Martin was speaking on tho
second day of the continuous session of the
senate, roll calls were had to get a quorum
together about every fifteen minutes. Mar
tin had held the floor until the afternoon,
when Senator Voorhees, said:
'Mr. President: 1t is obvious there is to
be a call of the senate every fifteen or twenty
minutes, at most, every thirty minutes, with
the absence of certain notables opposed to
the bill, the object doubtless being to CON-
pei attendance on the part of the friends Of
the bill all day. while they are sleeping for
the night. Now, give notice that on every
call for a quorum of the senate, from this
time on, shall insist on having the names
of the absentees called and to compel their
attendance. If we are to sit here all the
time subject to the call of every fifteen min
utes they shall do the same as far as is in
our power to secure it.
Up to that time most of the silverites had
had a chance to sleep enough to keep them
fresh, only the senator who was speaking
and a sentinel or two on that side who de-
handed roll call occasionally being in the

Sources Second Attempt.

Senator Squire offered another compro-
mise, and asks that both his schemes be
voted on separately; SO that points favora-
bly, received may be combined.
The new compromise provides that any
owner of silver bullion produced in the
United States may have it made into standard
dollars of the present weight and fneness.
But it shall be lawful to refuse a deposit of
less value than one hundred dollars or any
bullion deemed unsuitable. The depositor
of the bullion is to receive such number of
standard silver dollars as shall equal the
commercial value of the bullion on the day
of deposit as determined by the secretary of
the treasury, the difference, if any, between
the mint value of the standard dollars and
commercial value of the bullion thus depos-
tied, shall be retained by the government as
seigniorage.
The deposit of bullion shall not exceed in
value two million dollars a month. The
seIgniorage shall be retained in the treasury
as a reserve fund for the purpose of main
tanning parity of the value of every silver
dollar issued under the provisions of the act,
with the gold dollar issue.
When the coinage shall reach the sum of
a hundred million dollars, all further coin
age of silver dollars shall cease. These sill
yer dollars shall be legal tender in all pay
ments at their nominal or coin value and no
certificates shall be issued to represent
them.
So much of the act of 80 directing the
purchase of four million five hundred thou
sand ounces monthly is repealed. Hereafter
the national banking associations be en-
titled to receive from the comptroller of the
currency upon the compliance with all terms
and requirements therefor, circulating notes
of different denominations to value at par
of United States bonds on deposit with
the secretary of the treasury in trust for the
association, provided the aggregate sum of
such notes for which any association shall
be liable at the time. shall not exceed tho
amount of it's capital stock at the time &C.

Som. Increasc In Business.

New York. October 17.-R. G. Dun's
weekly review of trade reads thus:
1.-THE country has been waiting; merchants
who have obligations to meet can not always
wait. and for some there has come misfor-
tune; spectators and traders wait because
they have no substantial basis for iudgment.
The volume of business transacted increases
some, for the longer the people go without
necessaries the more certain their demand
is to revive. The government crop reports
have not helped speculation because they
are not in harmony with prevailing judg-
ment.
Wheat has weakened IN. Corn has adj
vauced IL. Pork product unchanged. but
either would be very much stronger if men
put full confidence in the official estimate.
Oil has risen 1 cent and coffee and cotton
are unchanged. Cotton goods show gem
eral improvement in tone, though weak In
spots. The demand for wooden goods is not
one-third of the usual magnitude. Outside
of New York the boot and shoe factories are
but poorly employed.
The failures for the week number S94 In
the United States against 139 last year. and
~ in Canada against rs last year. The aggre-
gate of liabilities in the failures the first
week in October was only $S.491 .292, though
the number was large. This week the liabili-
ties have apparently decreased.

The Session Continues and Martin Speaks.
Senator Allen talked over twelve hours and
yielded the floor to Senator Martin. The
second day opened with a more vigorous
movement by the silver men to compel the
presence of quorum. The silver men had
been very lenient during the long hours of
the night and permitted senators to immedi-
ately retire to their sofas after q roll call,
and did not call them again for an hour at a
time.
Senator Martin made plea for the free
coinage of silver. At frequent intervals he
was interrupted by roll calls and delays,
necesstated by the absence of a quorum.
Senator Martin attacked the eastern bankers,
whom he called slave drivers and Shylocks.
He declared if the president during the re-
cent campaign had written such letters as
he recently wrote to Governor Northern, of
Georgia. or had democratic senators in that
campaign made such speeches to the people
as they had made in the senate on the fnan-
cial question, the democratic party, in the
parlance of the-day, would not have been
sin it,
Senators Teller and Jones had been placed
on the silverites detail to follow Martin and
they filled the day.
Those repeal senators who are recognized
as the staunch supporters of the adminiStra-
ton assert they are not prepared to even
listen to talk of a compromise, and say if
the night session experiment does not prove
successful, they will return to day sessions
and prolong them until reasonable hour
and in the end force the bill through.

During the second night of the continuous
session of the senate there was much consul
tation among senator's, in which Secretary
Carlisle participated. which resulted in Sem
ator Harris offering an amendment to the
pending measure, which provides:
flrst-For the coinage of all silver bullion
In the treasury representing the government
seigniorage into full legal tender dollars, at
the rate of 100000 per month.
Second-When this seigniorage shall have
been coined, the secretary shall purchase
each month bullion sufficient to coin blank
dollars, and to coin the bullion into legal
tender dollars.
Ihird-That all paper notes or certificates
OF less denopination than 500 shall he re-
deemed and not reissued and that national
bank notes of less denomination than SO
Shall be redeemed, and national banks re-
CURED to substitute notes of that demonina-
ton.
Fourth That two and half and five dol
lar gold pieces shall no longer be coined.
but when received at the treasury shall be
recoined as eagles and double eagles.
F1fth-That holders of standard silver dol
lars shall be able to exchange such dollars
on their presentation for notes of the same
tender qualities as such silver dollars, which
shall be held for their redemption.
This amendment created much interest,
1t being naturally assumed that it furnished
perhaps the first concrete and specified
compromise proposition growing out of the
continuous session. The amendment. COM
ing from such distinguished member of
finance, was extremely significant. Mr..
harris said that the amount of dollars to be
coined had been left blank in order that
any senator might have opportunity to test
the sense of the senate.

Railway Company. This is a new road
running from Lancaster, forty miles,

was taken to continue the work on
the road. Mr.. Keiner's claim is about
$50, 900.
