CONFUSION COMPOUNDED
THE END OF THE STRUGGLE NOT
YETIN SIGHT.
hut Little Prospect for Vote This
Week - Republicans Favor
Reasonable CIoture Rule


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-When the
Senate closed it's session yesterday the
situation could best be described as
chaotic. There was all sorts of rumors
lying around and almost any conceiv-
able conclusion could be deducted
therefrom. Early in the day it was
understood that the Southern
silver men had abandoned any idea
that they may have had of conteSting
the question further and that being
left without their aid the Republican
silver Senators were forced to give up.
Before night, the conditions appeared
to have changed and there was every
appearance OF continuation of the
already protracted struggle. A few of
the Southern Democrats began talk
ing of further protest against uncon-
ditional repeal, and it is said this talk
was not of the mildest character. Ed
couraged by this the silver Republi
cans took heart and by the time the
Senate took its customary recess, it
had been whispered about that the
fight was On with renewed vigor. just
when and how it will end no Senator
was willing to predict but unless some
thing occurs in the meantime, to clear
up the atmosphere, there is little
prospect of vote this week.
Senator Aldrich, who has discussed
the matter with his colleagues, said
this evening that he believed the
Republicans, with exception of some
thing less than dozen, would favor
reasonable cloture rule, but they were
not inclined to take up with the sug-
gestiOn found in any that have been
submitted to the Senate up to this
time. He was quite sure the Republi-
cars would not join in any request to
the Vice President, but the closure
they favored must come before the
Senate in the regular way.

The chicken house of Mr.. Frank
Hege, on the South Side, was badly
burned Sunday night, between and 8
O'Clock. The fire started from an in
cubator, which was left burning too
high, and caught some scattered hay

with hay, which quickly ignited and
wrapped the building in flames, Sc
that none of its contents were saved.
There were about one hundred and
fifty chickens, all improved breeds,

THE COLORED VOTE.
In Virginia the Negroes Are Indiffer-
ent This Year,

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 24-One of the
most interesting features of the politi-
cal campaign in Virginia is the Fart
which the colored voters will take. In
some, if not in many, counties they
have the balance of power, and their
support could largely determine the
election of some members of the Sen
ate and the House. Reports from
nearly all sections of the State indi-
cate that the negroes are quite indif-
ferent as to the result of the contest.
1t seems to be conceded that quite a
number of this race will support Col.
O'Ferrall and the balance of the DEM
cratic ticket. The negroes have in
many instances cut loose from their
former Republican bosses, and it may
be difficult in future campaigns for
the latter to gain control of those who
have heretofore been such docile sub
jects and followers. >

This was Father knickerbockeI

children were here by the thousands.
The event was celebrated with mill
tary pomp, music and oratOry- New

Gilroy, Chauncey Depew and other
s'big guns" were in it. Depew made
a fine, large speech.
1t is strange, nevertheless true, no
one is able to tell half what they see
at the Fair There is too much to re-
member. The Winston-Salem people
who expect to hear all about the Fair
when this crowd gets back will be dis
appointed. 1t is with us like the
preacher said about his religion-"we
have it, but we don't know how we
got it," Several members of the party
have made notes of many important
exhibits.
Mr.. J. w. Fries is of the opinion
that the exhibits in the electrical
building is the crswning event of the
exposition. He is not far from right.
Machinery hall is also creditable. In
my opinion CALIFORNIA; exhibit leads
all of her sister States. Germany
takes the priZe of the foreign coun-
tries.
Chicago is wicked city. Sunday is
not much more than any other day.
Many of the theatres are kept open,
besides many stores and other buSi-
ness houses run on just the same as a
week day.
There are hundreds of people who
come here to the Fair who never get
away on time. The mayors court
catches some of them daily. These
get out of money, either by gambling
or some other monkey business" and
they just pick up something for the
purpose of aiding them in getting
back home. Instead of going back to
''sweet home" they go where?-to
